Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 104 The Reason
Su is a rare surname, so they immediately thought of someone.

Shen Zhibai was stunned when he heard the words, "Did no one tell you? She is Lord Su's daughter."

"Father and daughter?"

The two pushers were startled at the same time, and the grumpy Master Wu was the first to shout angrily: "You all ask so many questions back and forth, where did you mention this girl, why didn't you say such an important matter sooner!"

Got it!
Blame them!
Shen Zhibai and the others expressed their shock at how quickly they could turn their faces faster than a book. They had known that Mr. Su's name taboo was so easy to use, and they had made it clear long ago.

Where can the situation become like this?
"Miss Su, it was the two of us who offended you just now because of our indiscriminate words, and we still invited you Haihan."

The two bowed in unison.

This situation made other people unable to understand, Su Rao was especially confused, "You...know my father?"

She was getting tired of asking the same thing.

She never thought that Father's name is so useful outside.

Master Wu's face turned red with excitement, and he quickly explained: "Master Su is the top three yuan leader who walked out of our jurisdiction in Shanglin County. He was so energetic and dazzling back then. How can we not know him?"

"That's right, his ability to conduct autopsy is unrivaled in the world. Many years ago, there were frequent murders in Shanglin County. The superior ordered us to catch the murderer within a month. When we were at a loss, we relied on Mr. Su's guidance to solve the case. This kindness, we are truly eternal." memorable."

"If I had known that girl, you were Lord Su's daughter, Wu would not have said such a thing, and apologized to the girl again."

The two men bowed again and again as they spoke, their respectful and enthusiastic attitude was completely different from the previous cynicism.

Su Rao knew that this kind of treatment was due to her father's honor, including Gu Cheng, Yuniang and others. After 18 years, they still have such influence, which shows that he was prosperous back then.

"Apology will be forgiven. To be honest, the two adults should understand my reason for coming."

She cut straight to the point.

The two men looked at each other, Master Wu nodded and said: "Master Shen said in advance that the girl is the jewel in Lord Su's palm, and she can also solve the murder case of Mr. Song. She must be very capable. Please return us both innocent."

"It's really not our idea to forcibly press the words and draw the bets."

Another pusher with a mustache couldn't help feeling aggrieved, "The prefect insists on intervening in the trial himself, but we are soft-spoken, so how can we stop it?"

"Were you present at the interrogation?"

Su Rao asked.

"Of course it is. There must be an official present when interrogating prisoners and recording interrogations. They must be recorded in the register when they are imprisoned, so that they can be imported into the file for future archives."

Another pusher with a mustache replied.

"but……"

Master Wu added: "The case at the time was that Yu Niang was left at the scene of the murder covered in blood, and Shi Yi, the bodyguard who had an affair with her, fled the Song Mansion and disappeared. As the biggest suspects, it is only natural that they should be apprehended. .”

"Considering that Shi Yi broke into the Song Mansion privately before, and wanted to take Yuniang away several times, Yuniang was indeed planning to leave with him... They still refused to admit it, so Master Song used punishment."

Speaking of punishment is also in line with the regulations.

When the government investigates a case and catches a suspect, it always beats the suspect without saying a word as a deterrent, and then interrogates the case and ends the prison sentence. Many people often cannot bear the punishment and would rather plead guilty in order to avoid torture.

This is how unjust, false and wrongly decided cases often come about.

Su Rao didn't say much, how could the atmosphere formed over hundreds of years be changed by a word or two?

"What about after torture? Did they admit it?"

"No."

Master Wu shook his head and sighed, "That Shi Yi is a tough guy, no matter how much he tortured him, if he beat him to death and said that the two of them had no affair, Master Song had no choice but to point the finger at Yuniang."

He recalled the scene of that day, and couldn't help raising his eyes to look at the three wooden stakes.

The stake stood quietly in front of the cold wall covered with torture instruments. The blood was stained and not yet dry. The fire in the basin was jumping, drawing its shadow long and thin on the ground. It seemed as if two figures were tied up in the dim light and shadow. on top.

The whip soaked in salt water was swung down in the air, the strong wind split the air, and the thin and thick prison clothes were pulled away with the force of destroying gold and jade, the skin and flesh were torn, and the blood splattered horizontally!
Screaming, struggling, desperate...

The stubbornness and innocence intertwined with blood and tears were not comforted even in the end. If the imperial envoys hadn't come suddenly to retry the case, perhaps they would really have died unjustly in prison.

"Where were you when you drew the bet?"

Su Rao asked again.

Shen Zhibai and the others looked at the two of them for a moment, and the pusher with the mustache was silent for a moment, "Just after half of the punishment, Mr. Song said we couldn't stand the blood, so he kicked us out."

"So, when you were interviewing, you left without authorization?"

Su Rao spoke in a calm voice, but with an unspeakable coercion, Mr. Wu broke out in cold sweat, bowed his head sadly, and uttered a word with difficulty, "Yes."

"What about your signatures and seals on the confession? It can't be that Song Daiyan forged it or forced it?"

Su Rao's eyes are clear and clear, with a power to understand people's hearts, being looked at by her like that, it seems that no lie can hide in front of her.

Tuiguan Wu was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No, we signed it ourselves."

"Before that, did you inquire about the two signings?"

"Have."

One person replied, "The jailers said that it was printed by hand."

These words can be verified by asking any jailer who was present at the time. Even if they know that they will be convicted if they say it, they have to say it.

"Even so, you still chose to use seals on the confession?"

Su Rao slightly pulled the corner of her lower lip, her eyes were full of smiles, if someone looked carefully, they could see the sarcasm and coldness hidden in it.

The two were too ashamed to answer her question.

Feeling the increasingly oppressive atmosphere, the other officials did not dare to breathe. They felt nervous and apprehensive when facing Prince Yan. They secretly slandered the little girl for being too powerful. But they are sharp and sharp, hitting the nail on the head.

There was silence in the prison.

After a long while, her voice as soft as spring water sounded again: "The deceased Song Jinyu is Song Daiyan's family brother. It stands to reason that he should avoid suspicion in this case, but he tortured the confession first and forced the painting later. Don't you have any doubts?" Over his intentions?"

Hearing that the coldness in her words dissipated a bit, the pushing officer, Mr. Wu, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I didn't hesitate, but the situation at that time all pointed to Yuniang's affair with Shi Yi and the murder of Mr. Song... We think about it. Thinking about it, I feel that Master Song's behavior is a bit extreme, but... I can understand it."

This answer was beyond Su Rao's expectation.

"What's the reason?"

Thoughts were spinning in her mind, she said slowly: "Tell me and listen."
