Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Chapter 297 Public Hearing

() "Lord Liang, you keep saying that the murderer is a murderer, but why don't you say whether the criminal is a man or a woman, who's family name, and how old is he?" Ximen Qing looked at Liang Le coldly, and spread his hands: " These people all want to know why the Secretary of the Imperial City went to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion to take away the prisoner you mentioned?"

Liang Le was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say for a while.

"If you don't tell me, I will tell you for you." Ximen Qing sneered and said, "That is a boy from Qinjia Village, Huaizhou. He is less than eight years old this year!"

As soon as Ximen Qing said this, the onlookers couldn't believe their ears.

"What? Less than eight years old?"

"This is a child, how could he kill someone?"

"That's right, there must be a mistake."

"An eight-year-old child thrown into a prison? If I go to save it too!"

"What's wrong with being eight years old?" Liang Le suddenly raised his head and shouted: "In ancient times, Qin Wuyang of Yan Kingdom could kill at the age of 13! If he could kill at the age of 13, why couldn't he kill at the age of eight?"

Liang Le's words caused an uproar among the onlookers. It is indeed recorded that Qin Wuyang was able to kill at the age of 13, but it does not mean that in real life, any child at the age of 13 or eight can kill.

Children under the age of eight probably have never even touched a knife, let alone killed someone.

Most of the onlookers thought so.

"As long as you can hold a knife, you can kill!" Liang Le pointed at Ximen Qing with trembling fingers: "The murderer's bloody coat and sharp knife have been presented to the Kaifeng Mansion, and there are all the witnesses. How could Liang lie! You know why the Imperial City Division is protecting the murderer, it's because Ximen Qing knew the murderer!"

"Harboring a murderer is the same crime!"

Liang Le's "appeal" did not arouse the support of the public. After all, the "facts" Liang Le said were too appalling. The scene was silent, and only Liang Le was left shouting in the middle: "The Imperial City Division is harboring murderers!" , I'm going to sue the imperial court!"

Ximen Qing thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "Sue the imperial court? Even if I sue the imperial court, I am not afraid of you. The two dead women are your concubine, and the other is the servant girl who served this concubine. It’s inside your Liang Mansion, bloody clothes and sharp knives can be forged, and witnesses are all butlers and servants in your mansion, so they can also be forged. What does this mean?”

"Ximenqing! You are from the Imperial City Division, not from the Kaifeng Mansion!" Liang Le kept on saying, "The Kaifeng Mansion has already identified the criminal as a murderer, so what qualifications do you have?"

"You villain! You didn't tell me you killed my kind sister, but you accused me of killing me!"

As soon as Liang Le said this, there were two childish curses from somewhere in the crowd. Ximen Qing looked over, the crowd parted, and two people squeezed past. A food box, the one who opened the mouth was naturally Qin Xiaoli.

At the beginning, Qin Xiaoli was wearing a pair of tattered clothes, he was no different from a beggar, but now he is eating well and dressing well in Ximenqing's house, white and tender, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a murderer?

Seeing the sudden appearance of the hotly debated "murderer", the people were extremely surprised. If they said that this kid could kill people, they couldn't believe it even if they were killed.

Tong Yan said that the words of a filial son are generally more convincing, so Qin Xiaoli immediately pointed the finger at Liang Le when he said these two sentences.

Everyone thought about it, this seems very reasonable!

"Okay, you son of a bitch!" Liang Le jumped up at first, and shouted, pulling his neck, "Murderer! Kaifeng government office servants, are you free? 9 Why don't you arrest people!"

"Whoever dares to touch my Xiaoli, I will fight with him!"

Seeing that Ximenqing hadn't returned for a long time, Xue'er had brought food. Qin Xiaoli begged to come to the Imperial City Department to see something strange, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing; Having said this, he suddenly awakened a bit of female protective consciousness, and stepped forward to protect Qin Xiaoli behind him.

"Ha, cover up! Did you see that?" Liang Le said like crazy: "Ximen Qing's family is protecting this murderer!"

The steward of Liang's mansion and those servants immediately resumed their upgrades, and they also started shouting together with Liang Le indiscriminately: "Cover up! Murderer!"

The Kaifeng mansion is very close, so it's okay to ignore it just now, but now the "murderer" who mysteriously disappeared from the prison appears suddenly, so you can't ignore it.

A yamen servant went in to report, which immediately alarmed Kaifeng Governor and Yao Tuiguan.

After all, if Liang Le and others continue to shout, it will also damage the reputation of Kaifeng Mansion, so Yao Tuiguan ordered both of them to bring a group of yamen servants over. It doesn't matter if they quarrel. The murderer doesn't care, that's too much to justify.

"Master, what should we do?" Seeing a lot of errands, Xue'er asked Ximen Qing nervously in a low voice, "Where are those black-clothed inspectors under your command, call them out and drive these yamen servants away!"

Ximenqing couldn't laugh when he heard that Youxiu, this kind of action was no different from rebellion, do you want to be an official?

"Lord Ximen, please do me a favor." Both of them were very nervous, after all, this gate is the territory of the Imperial City Division, and if Ximenqing really turned his face, it would be him who would suffer.

"Just to make it clear today." Ximen Qing said, "Is Yao Tuiguan here? Let's take advantage of the fact that all the elders and neighbors are here today, let's make this case public."

They both looked at each other, and then went to ask Liang Le what he meant. Liang Le was about to save Ximen Qing's face, and he couldn't ask for more.

The onlookers became more and more surprised as they watched. They were all very excited about the public trial. It was almost noon now, but no one left.

Everyone came to Kaifeng mansion together, Ximenqing touched Qin Xiaoli's head: "Xiaoli, you just need to tell the truth for a while, with me here, no one can touch you."

Qin Xiaoli nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Ximen, you must not let that bad guy go. He killed my two kind sisters."

"Don't worry, I have my own plan." Ximen Qing replied confidently.

.

.

"Ascension!"

"mighty!"

Yao Tuiguan sat down under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging High", glanced over, and immediately felt refreshed.

It has to be said that this kind of scene is exactly what Yao Tuiguan wanted.

Both the "sufferer" and the "human offender" were there, Ximen Qing also appeared, and there were a group of people watching the fun.

In this way, the Kaifeng government really only needs to handle the case "justly", and the several mountains that have been pressing on Yao Tui for several days suddenly disappeared.

After a routine questioning, Yao Tuiguan went straight to the point and asked the yamen servant to show the bloody clothes and sharp knives to the audience; the housekeeper and servants of Liang's mansion also gave witnesses.

Liang Le sat on the sidelines triumphantly, and the witness and material evidence presented could still convince the public; even if Ximen Qing denied it outright, it would not be able to prove that these were all perjury.

"Lord Ximen, what do you have to say?" Yao Tuiguan waved the yamen servant to leave.

Ximenqing smiled slightly: "Master Yao, can you let Wu do it? I have a few words to ask him."

"That's what it should be."

If there is any doubt during the trial, Wu Zuo is often ordered to go to the court for questioning. Ximenqing's request is not too much, and Yao Tuiguan readily complies.

When I was young, Wu Zuo came up and met Yao Tuiguan and Ximen Qing: "The two female corpses were inspected by villains. I don't know what Master Ximen wants to ask?"

"Wu Zuo, how tall are the two victims?"

"The height is similar to that of a villain." At first, the author wanted to say that Xue'er was about the same height, but after all, she was Ximen Qing's concubine, so it was inappropriate to compare her, so she had to use herself as an example.

"Xiao Li, do you think it's so tall?" Ximen Qing asked Qin Xiaoli when he saw the short figure.

"almost."

Qin Xiaoli remembered what Ximenqing said, and boldly replied.

"Lord Liang, what do you think?" Ximen Qing turned around and asked Liang Le again.

Liang Le nodded slightly, and said coldly: "What does height have to do with this murder! Don't delay!"

"Everyone seems to have no opinion, so it should be about the same." Ximen Qing was not angry, and said to Wu Zuo: "Tell me, where are the fatal wounds of the two victims?"

Wu Zuo answered fluently: "One woman was stabbed more than ten times in the chest and abdomen, and the other woman's throat was slit open."

Xue'er heard such a tragic situation, her beautiful eyes fixed on Liang Le fiercely, wishing to cut off a piece of flesh from his face with her eyes. From the perspective of others, perhaps in Liang Le's mind, these two girls are like domestic animals!

"Very good." Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Since your figure is similar to that of the second girl, you might as well draw the injured part on your body."

Although Ximenqing's request was strange, Yao Tuiguan still asked Wu Zuo to cooperate one by one.

But what happened next made Yao Tuiguan unable to understand.

Because Ximenqing asked Qin Xiaoli to walk in front of Wu Zuo and gestured for those positions with his fist.

"Master Ximen, what do you mean?"

Seeing Qin Xiaoli's strange behavior, Yao Tuiguan couldn't help asking.

"If Qin Xiaoli is really the murderer, then at least the knife should be cut where he can get it. And the angle should be similar." Ximenqing explained: "Wu Zuo, do you think Qin Xiaoli is the murderer?"

Wu Zuo suddenly sweated on his back, the wound on his chest and abdomen was okay, Qin Xiaoli could barely reach it, but Qin Xiaoli had to stand on tiptoe very hard to reach his own throat, let alone take a sharp knife to cut his throat open.

Not to mention the similar angles.

Although Wu Zuo didn't think Qin Xiaoli was the murderer at the beginning, but after Ximen Qingyi said, he felt that his own work seemed to be not in place at all.

"Okay, Xiaoli, come back." Ximenqing recalled Qin Xiaoli, and said to Yao Tuiguan, "Master Yao, what do you think? Judging from the demonstration just now, it is impossible for Qin Xiaoli to be the murderer."

"This." Yao Tuiguan was speechless for a while.

The people on the sidelines also started talking, and everyone approved of Ximen Qing's actions and the effect of the display.

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Liang Le completely denied it as soon as he opened his mouth: "My concubine and slaves were killed in their sleep, so what height does it matter when they are lying down?" Net, welcome to log in.kanshu.la to read the full text!
