Chapter 32 Unjust, False and Wronged Cases ([-]) One more

"You're not dead?" Cai Youkun blurted out.

"I saved him!" Lao Lin squatted beside Chen Xuan, and the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he was. This is because he spent a lot of money, but it's just what it looks like today. Otherwise... I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until today!
Lao Lin added harshly: "You don't have enough people to fight!"

"you……"

"Lord Cai, let's try the case first!" Xie Yu said coldly, he knew in his heart that some things cannot be determined with just one mouth; some people cannot be brought down with just one thing.

Cai Youkun's mind was already making a mess of porridge, but there was one sentence that was particularly clear: "This little catcher is my nemesis!"

"The one kneeling on the ground is the Chen family?" Qin Wubing had already started.

Chen shivered all over, and said yes.

"Your clothes are simple and elegant, when did you make them?" Qin Wubing asked, looking down at Chen Shi with his hands behind his back.

"It's really unreasonable! How can..."

"Lord Cai obstructs my subordinates from asking questions, but is there a ghost in his heart?" Xie Yu interrupted Cai Youkun sharply.

Cai Youkun said angrily: "I have tried cases for decades, and I have never seen such a problem! This is not a trial, it is clearly molesting..."

'Snapped! Xie Yu slapped the table hard, and said sharply: "Master Cai can draw a conclusion after only listening to one sentence, which shows how sloppy the judgment is on weekdays! If you can listen, sit here and listen with me, if you can't, please Do it yourself!"

Cai Youkun knew Xie Yu's reputation, so he naturally knew that Xie Yu was not used to saving face, but he never thought of being so merciless. The two were officials in the same dynasty, and he was only one rank lower than Xie Yu. Yu this humiliation!

But before Cai Youkun turned his face, Xie Yu sternly said to Chen Shi who was kneeling outside the screen: "Chen Shi, what are you asking, answer truthfully, if there are lies, you will be severely punished!"

Cai Youkun's train of thought was interrupted by this sentence, the courage to refute just now disappeared immediately, so he could only sit aside panting and waited to see what flowers Qin Wubing could ask!

Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she trembled all over, only to hear her tremblingly say: "Yes, it was made in March last year, the master rewarded me with materials."

Qin Wubing nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "When will the head of the Chen family accept you as a concubine?"

"It will be three years until the eighth day of May this year."

"It's been a few years. As a concubine, do you usually follow your master to receive relatives and friends?"

"Never."

"Can you walk around with the Chen family?"

"Never."

"Being in the Chen family for more than two years, you have been staying in the room in a well-behaved manner, and you have never had any contact with other members of the Chen family, right?"

"Yes."

"Then how do you know who killed your master?"

Chen was stunned.

"You once said in the hall that you saw Chen Xuan take out a dagger from his arms and stabbed the head of the Chen family to death. After that, you fainted from fright. After waking up, you shouted for help. When all the members of the Chen family arrived, Then report to arrest Chen Xuan, the tribe doesn't know who committed the murder, you must have said who you saw, but you don't know Chen Xuan, how do you know it is him?"

Mrs. Chen knelt there, her eyes rolling wildly. On the way there, someone warned him that he only had to follow the previous confession, but there was no such paragraph in the previous confession!
"Quickly answer!" Xie Yu couldn't wait any longer, and urged him sharply.

"Oh, concubine, um, yes, it was mentioned in the report that day."

"Which servant?"

"No, I don't remember."

"What time did Chen Xuan arrive that day?"

"At the end of the unitary hour."

"Did he come into your bedroom?"

"No, never."

"You followed the master to the living room and met Chen Xuan together?"

"No, never."

"Then how did you see with your own eyes that Chen Xuan took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed your master to death?" Qin Wubing suddenly raised his voice and asked.

"Concubine, I heard the master calling for help..."

"When your master called for help, Chen Xuan must have drawn out his dagger. Otherwise, even if there was a quarrel between the two of them, neither of you would be allowed to show your face! Let me ask again, how did you get to see Chen Xuan with your own eyes?" Pulled out a dagger from his arms?!"

"Then, that may be my concubine's memory is wrong, yes, I rushed out to the living room, and saw Chen Xuan stabbing the master with a dagger."

"Oh? What color shirt did Chen Xuan wear that day?"

"Huh?... It's been too long, no, I don't remember."

"Can you remember when you made this dress, but you don't remember what color the murderer wore when your master was killed? It's deeply engraved in your mind, but you don't remember it!"

Chen raised her head and looked at the screen. She wanted to find someone to give her some courage. These words were not taught to her by that person. She didn't know how to respond. What if, what if she got the wrong answer...

"Let me ask you again, after you entered the door, your master loved you very much, and stayed in your room most of the time?"

Mrs. Chen looked around in fear, how do I answer this?Yes or no?
But no one can help her!Not even a look of encouragement.

"Answer truthfully!" Qin Wubing shouted.

"Yes!" Chen Shi blurted out.

"Since that's the case, has your master seen anyone in your room after dark?"

"No, never."

Cai Youkun was very apprehensive when he heard this, the little catcher's questioning was too detailed, if the little catcher asked him to continue, the little concubine would definitely be overwhelmed!
This case was reminded by two aides, Cai Youkun just remembered that at the beginning, he often asked the Chen family for money, especially a few days ago, someone asked Cui’s aides to meet the murderer, and then wanted to reopen the case. When he was short of money, Cui staff said, he agreed, it is impossible to reverse the case, but it can benefit both sides.

He didn't know what was going on in the case. He just read it according to the files prepared by the civil servants, and it was regarded as a retrial. I'm sorry for those who spend money on both sides.

Now after listening to Qin Wubing's questioning, it seems that it will lead to unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Cai Youkun racked his brains to figure out how to stop Qin Wubing from asking any more questions, but Qin Wubing didn't give him a chance, he just listened to him. He asked again: "Where did the knife stab your master? Chest or abdomen?"

"Tummy, belly."

"Oh?"

"I'll ask you again, did you see the murderer stab your master in the stomach?"

At this moment, if Mrs. Chen hadn't been kneeling, she would have collapsed on the ground. She looked around helplessly again, and answered "Yes."

"Did you faint after the murderer ran out of the room, or before?"

"No, I don't remember."

"Hmph! Can you still remember this? It's clearly a lie!" Qin Wubing shouted loudly.

"Remember, yes, I fainted after he ran out of the room."

"What was he holding in his hand when he ran out the door?"

"what?"

"You don't remember again?"

"He didn't take anything, so he ran away in a hurry."

Qin Wubing sneered twice and then asked: "After your master called for help, didn't someone rush in to save the Savior?"

At this time, Mrs. Chen was powerless to resist, fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and said: "I don't know, I don't remember."

Qin Wubing cupped his hands towards the screen and said: "Master Xie, Mrs. Chen is full of lies! There must be grievances in this case!"
