The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 95 I'll Give You The Truth

It has been a while since Myolie Wu yelled and cursed outside, but it wasn't because she had stopped.

"You guys are so lively, are you discussing countermeasures because you know we're coming to take the prisoner?"

The door was wide open, and a team of servants, dressed in yamen servants, with sabers in their hands and chains around their waists, appeared in front of everyone.

Just looking at the shiny plain knife and the rattling chain around the waist made ordinary people subconsciously feel a chill in their hearts, not to mention the servants serving them. For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Xu Qing intentionally or unintentionally. fall.

"Miss."

Baicao stood in front of Xu Qingluo in fear, hoping to prevent others from seeing her, and hoping that the yamen servants might not be able to see Xu Qingluo.

"Someone sued the Xu family, Xu Qingluo, for killing his younger brother. Now, who is the young lady of the Xu family, come with us."

A yamen servant headed by him looked haughty and looked at several people in the room with contempt in his eyes, especially the young women who were the most important targets. Xu Weiwan suddenly pushed Xu Qingluo: "Sister, sister doesn't know whether you are wronged or not. Anyway, even the people from the yamen have come, it seems that only a fair trial by the yamen can restore your innocence."

It seemed that she was not the one who insisted that Xu Qingluo killed the murderer just now. In an instant, the eyes of the yamen servants all fell on Xu Qingluo. They looked her up and down, and their eyes were quite unfriendly. Xu Liang stood in front of his daughter: " The little girl definitely did not kill anyone, there must be a misunderstanding! I hope that the officials will be lenient, and after a little more investigation, I will convict the little girl. The little girl is still a woman who has never been out of the court, so I can’t—” I can’t be like this in front of everyone Walk.

"We are ordered to lead people!"

The yamen servant laughed at Xu Liang's whimsy.

Xu Liang's eyes were full of bitterness, and he even looked at Madam Xu with some disappointment. The other party brought people to find things not enough, and even reported to the yamen. A woman who has not left the cabinet only needs to go to the yamen once, regardless of whether she is innocent or not. , Most of the reputation is ruined.

Mrs. Xu received Xu Liang's resentful eyes, she was dissatisfied at first, and opened her mouth to argue.

"All the sufferers who sued your daughter have come, if you have any dissatisfaction, let's talk about it in court!"

The leading yamen servant looked quite dissatisfied, and his body flashed, revealing the person behind him standing by the door.

Mrs. Xu's face was a little embarrassed, and her eyes instantly looked at the women with disheveled hair behind those yamen servants, it was Mrs. Hu.

Her face and eyes were full of tears, but there was a trace of pride and resentment in her eyes. She was facing Xu Qingluo, and then landed on Mrs. Xu, and knelt down with a bang: "Old lady, you said you would do it for me!" I am the master, you have seen my child die tragically with your own eyes, but anyone with a little conscience will definitely hate that cruel murderer to the bone."

Hu's eyes looked at Mrs. Xu, as if she meant something.

Mrs. Xu slowly closed her eyes: "Forget it, the clear is clear by itself, and the turbid is turbid by itself. Whether Luo'er is innocent or not, we still need the government to make a final decision."

Xu Liang looked at his own mother in disbelief, but was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Xu Qingluo looked at these people's eyebrows and eye lawsuits in just a few moments, not only did not panic, but was calm, but her eyes became more and more cold. Li also ordered me to go to court. As a law-abiding citizen, I naturally would not resist, not to mention, as my relatives said, I have to go all the way to verify my innocence, so this A senior official does not need to be so close to the enemy."

Xu Qingluo emphasized the words "several relatives", Mrs. Xu's complexion became more rigid, and she became more disgusted with Xu Qingluo for a while, and her hand holding the crutch could not help but tighten.

"Miss Xu seems to be a sensible person, so we won't be obtrusive."

The leading yamen servant seemed a little surprised by Xu Qingluo's calmness, paused, and motioned to the yamen servants behind him, bang bang, and several plain knives were put away one after another.

The somewhat suffocating atmosphere just now, because these yamen servants put away their knives, seemed a little more relaxed.

"Thank you for your understanding, but I still have one thing to explain. That child is the illegitimate son of the Hu family, but not the youngest son of the Xu family. I hope everyone understands this."

Many people looked sideways at Xu Qingluo. It was really unusual for her to be able to remain calm at this time.

Xu Qingluo patted Baicao who was very worried, and raised her foot to step forward.

"Miss."

Baicao tugged at the hem of her clothes, her little face was crying, very pitiful.

"Don't worry, it wasn't your lady who did it. If you want to come to the county magistrate, you will have a clear trial and give me back my innocence. Human life is at stake. You can't understand it hastily. An innocent person is naturally innocent, but a real criminal can't either." Let him escape the punishment of the criminal law!"

Xu Qingluo's words were resounding, and his eyes were full of coldness and determination.

I am sure that the county government or myself can find the so-called real culprit.

"What do you mean, you are a femme fatale, you just don't recognize your brother, but you pretended to be something after killing someone, you damned!"

Hu Shi seemed to be shocked, and yelled at Xu Qingluo with a pale face, and even wanted to hit someone, which made the yamen servants beside her very dissatisfied.

"Who is right or wrong is for the county magistrate to judge."

The leading yamen servant glared at Hu's yamen servant, no matter what plans he had in mind, there was no need for extra trouble at this moment.

"Luo'er, I'm going with you for my father. In the final analysis, this incident was caused by me. That child also planted on me. If there is really any misjudgment, I will be one step ahead of you for my father."

Xu Liang suddenly grabbed Xu Qingluo's hand, not to stop her, but to go with her.

"Brother Liang! You are crazy!"

Mrs. Xu lost her voice.

She doesn't care whether Xu Qingluo is dead or alive, but it is impossible for her to care about Xu Liang.

"Mother, when I married Yunniang in 20 years, you couldn't stop me. This time, my daughter and I faced danger and even slander together. I protect my daughter, and you can't stop me!"

Xu Liang's tone was completely cold towards Mrs. Xu, and when his voice fell, he walked out first.

Xu Qingluo looked at the firmness in Xu Liang's eyes, the eyes that had always been cold, quietly became more tender.

Xu Qingluo, Xu Liang, and the Hu family were all taken away, and Mrs. Xu slammed her cane on the ground: "What are you doing here in a daze, let me go with you, if my good brother What happened, I want you to look good!"

Mrs. Xu didn't know who she was scolding, but the rest of the people present didn't dare to speak out, they could only promise to agree.

Only Xiao Zhou's face was a little disapproving, and she pursed her lips. To be honest, Xu Liang and Xu Qingluo were acting stupid together. She wasn't worried at all, so what was there to worry about?She is still very happy, she has not forgotten the humiliation she received yesterday, not to mention that she has original thoughts about Xu Liang, she simply hates it to the bone.

-

Sitting high above the county government office was a middle-aged official, the county magistrate of Wuzhou City. He looked serious. His surname was Yuan. Xu Qingluo knew this former county magistrate. The certainty is greater.

Without him, the former county magistrate and Fujia city lord's mansion don't have a good relationship. Speaking of it, Wuzhou City is not a small place like Huai County, but a big city, and the person in charge of the government order should not be a seventh-rank The county magistrate should be the ruler of the whole government.

In fact, it was because Fujia had someone in the imperial court, had money in his hands, and didn't know how to deal with it. He got the seat of the city lord. The city lord was the highest official in the city in name, so naturally he couldn't have an official position higher than the county magistrate and the city lord of Fujia The position is divided into courts.

Although the trial judge didn't have anything to do with returning to his family, but the reputation of the city lord was there, and the former county magistrate who was suppressed for life had nothing to do.

Xu Qingluo didn't need the other party to favor him, as long as he didn't blindly favor Fujia.

Mrs. Hu was crying, and the entire courtroom was filled with her voice: "Xu Qingluo, you vicious and ruthless femme fatale, you are cruel and merciless just to prevent my child from returning to Xu's family, to prevent my child from inheriting Xu's family. The property of the Xu family, you are actually able to cruelly attack such a young child, he is only five years old, how can you bear it, he is your blood brother!"

"Xu Qingluo, I want you to pay for my life, magistrate, please make the decision for the little woman, please kill this femme fatale and pay for my son's life!"

"The little lady is begging the county magistrate!"

Hu's crying was devoted and intense, and among the people outside watching the county government's judgment, the people in Wuzhou City all looked filled with righteous indignation, pointing at Xu Qingluo, and all of them conformed to Hu's request If you pay for your life, let the magistrate Tang Uehara give an explanation.

They are not saying how much they agree with the Hu family. After all, the Hu family is just a runaway slave, and the child who was killed is also an illegitimate child. However, during this period of time, because many people from Huai County moved to Wuzhou City, many People in Wuzhou City have heard that because of these outsiders, they have to give some of their houses and properties to each other, and even many job opportunities are given away by those Huai County people. Thinking about it this way, it is also the same for Xu Qingluo and Xu Liang. The people in the county are naturally very unhappy.

Of course, part of the reason for the 'grand occasion' outside was that Mrs. Hu had yelled on the street just now, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people coming to join in the fun.

"Master County Magistrate, murder pays for life, you must deal with it fairly!"

"Yes, magistrate, orphans and widowed mothers are pitiful, but now even their only child is killed by others. It's too cruel, and they must be brought to justice."

Such voices came from outside the yamen for a while, as if Xu Qingluo was really committing all kinds of crimes and heinous crimes.

The one-sided demand was to punish Xu Qingluo and demand that she pay for her life.

Xu Qingluo just stood there, not eager to refute, not flustered, calm as if the person who those people said was going to be dealt with was not himself, but Xu Liang was very anxious on the side, distinguishing again and again, but I was completely overwhelmed by the voices of those people outside.

Xu Qingluo took Xu Liang's hand and pressed the back of the other's palm to make him calm down.

With a sound of "Pa!", the gavel was slapped heavily on the table, and the former county magistrate's expression was quite worried: "Silence!"

As an official, he is quite clear and serious, and he doesn't like this kind of noise the most.

A word from the magistrate of the county is more effective than Xu Liang's rebuttals. The most important thing is that the water and fire sticks in the hands of the yamen servants stopped heavily on the green bricks.

"Mr. Xu, do you have something to say?"

The original county magistrate looked at Xu Qingluo, without any kindness, but also without any malice, that's what Xu Qingluo wanted.

Taking a step forward, he saluted: "My little girl has something to say."

"Mr. Hu kept saying that it was the little girl who killed her son. As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, take the stolen goods, and collect evidence from a murder, it is ridiculous to convict someone based on just a few words."

As for Xu Qingluo's Langlang in the courtroom, his voice was clear, his face was calm, and he had a certain bearing, not at all like someone who was accused of murder.

It made those people in Wuzhou City who just thought that Xu Qingluo murdered people look sideways. To be honest, no matter what the truth is, Xu Qingluo's demeanor alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Compared with crying in the courtroom The Hu family, no matter how you look at it, it is more pleasing to the eye.

"What do you mean by just a few words, there is no one else except you who want to kill my child! My lord, don't be fooled by this little bitch."

Seeing that Xu Qingluo was at this moment, Hu remained calm and calm, not impatient, but a little anxious, opened his eyes and let out the little bitch.

The appearance of uttering evil words made many people who sympathized with her feel that it was too much. Xu Qingluo's age and appearance were all there, coupled with an extraordinary demeanor, it made Hu's face even more ugly.

"Mr. Hu insisted that it was the little girl who killed the murderer, but she just felt that there was some motive. A murder conviction requires more than just a motive, but also clear evidence. My lord is wise. The little girl asked to personally examine the dead child's body. The living can lie, the corpse You will never lie no matter what, the evidence on the corpse is the irresistible evidence that is more credible than the evidence that you can appeal!"

Xu Qingluo smiled coldly at Mrs. Hu, saying so.

To be honest, there were only a few people left who would kill that child, and she felt disgusted watching Hu's performance.

"What evidence is there on the corpse? Naturally, I have to test it. The child really died of suffocation and was strangled to death. The slender fingerprints should belong to a woman. These have already been tested. How can you, a little girl, be better than you?" proficient."

The former county magistrate frowned and dismissed Xu Qingluo's request.

"My lord, what I want to test is only the cause of the child's death, but what the little girl wants to see is who killed the child. The little girl is a doctor, and it's not like she didn't have an autopsy when she was in Huai County. Now, for the sake of my little girl's innocence, I ask for your permission. "

Xu Qingluo asked firmly.

The former county magistrate was a little worried about Xu Qingluo's refutation of his words, and even more felt that Xu Qingluo did not present any other witness evidence but wanted an autopsy, which was useless. He was about to speak with a solemn face, when there was a burst of noise outside the hall.

"My lord, Xu Xiaoniang is indeed a genius doctor, and she will definitely be able to find clues from the corpse to find the murderer!"

"Yes, my lord, we are all from Huai County, we can testify that Xu Xiaoniang is amazing."

"My lord, please give the people of Huai County a chance, and don't let the people of Wuzhou City frame us like Miracle Doctor Xu!"

"My lord, can you favor the people of Wuzhou City?"

The people who squeezed in from outside were clearly the people from Huai County. Although they came late, all who could come came. Compared with the Wuzhou City people watching the excitement here, the number of people was much larger. For a moment, the entire lobby was filled with the voices of people from Huai County.

The original county magistrate was about to reject Xu Qingluo's request, but he couldn't utter the words.

"Forget it, since you insist on an autopsy, I will make an exception. However, if there is nothing to be gained, Mrs. Xu, you are still the most suspected. I will handle it impartially, but I will put you in prison."

The former county magistrate said coldly, no matter what, he couldn't bear the reputation of favoring people from Wuzhou city and discriminating against people from Huai county, but he was a little dissatisfied with Xu Qingluo.

"Thank you sir."

Xu Qingluo achieved what she wanted, and she didn't care that the original county magistrate was dissatisfied with her idea. She believed that if one of those people did it, she wouldn't get nothing.

Turning around and thanking those Huai County people who supported her, Xu Qingluo smiled at Yanyan, which relieved the worries of the Huai County people outside. They talked one after another, who is Xu Xiaoniang? He was not scared, he was alive, and he still cared about being afraid of a yamen trial?An autopsy?
He also talked about Xu Qingluo's various great achievements in Huai County, which proved her superb medical skills and her calm temperament that never targeted her indiscriminately.

Xu Qingluo felt better, but Mrs. Hu panicked. At first, Mrs. Hu was not worried about how Xu Qingluo would make a comeback, and she didn't care much when Xu Qingluo asked for an autopsy, but listening to the popularization of those Huai County people outside, She was completely panicked, seeing the former county magistrate ordered someone to bring the corpse, she shouted: "No!"

His face was pale without the slightest trace of blood. He stood up from the ground and yelled at Xu Qingluo: "It's not enough for you to kill my son. You also want to insult him after he dies and divide his body. Xu Qingluo, you This bitch, I won't let you succeed, my lord, I don't agree, I don't agree to let her examine my son's body!"

"If you really want to trample on my son's corpse, then step over it! I will never allow you to insult my son after you die."

Hu's appearance of threatening death seems to be the same thing.

Xu Qingluo smiled instead, and she walked in front of Mrs. Hu step by step, her clear eyes reflected Mrs. Hu's cloudy eyes, which made her feel like she had nothing to hide.

"Mr. Hu, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Qingluo paused every word: "You said that I trampled on your son's corpse, you said that I insulted him after death, what are you trying to cover up so eagerly?"

"You, what do you mean!"

Hu's complexion became even paler, and he couldn't help taking a step back.

Xu Qingluo stopped in his tracks and turned cold: "I just want to say, compared to examining the body after death to find out the real murderer, the real insult and abuse is letting the murderer go unpunished and letting the child die unknown Not in vain, or maybe he died at the hands of his closest relatives, but no one is willing to give him the truth, that is the real humiliation and insult!"

"Today's corpse, I'm sure about it!"

Xu Qingluo's figure is not tall and has never grown up, but at this moment she is standing there with an awe-inspiring posture like a pavilion, which makes people feel panic in the bottom of their hearts.

Hu opened her mouth, closed it again, opened her mouth again, but couldn't utter a word. Xu Qingluo's half-smile look seemed to mean something. She felt that there were really many people around her who also doubted her. Don't dare to talk too much.

I could only keep telling myself in my heart that Xu Qingluo couldn't find anything, and those people from Huai County said that Xu Qingluo was miraculous, which was completely nonsense and exaggeration.

The child's body was quickly carried up. The dead time was not long. In addition to the cold weather, the child looked as if he was asleep except for his pale face. She had a small face that was supposed to be pretty, but because of the bluish-white color, it looked weird.

Xu Qingluo's hand fell from the child's face to the throat, where there were obvious five-finger pinch marks, as the former county magistrate said, the five fingers were too slender, it should be done by a woman, Xu Qingluo was not looking for it This, she carefully observed the five finger marks, and then pressed down heavily.

Very good, there is something in the throat. To be honest, Xu Qingluo didn't want to dissect the poor child's body in public.

With a hand on her waist, a gleaming silver knife appeared between her fingers. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it was so bright that it dazzled the eye. Gently scratch down the throat of the child on the stretcher.

There were several screams, and blood overflowed from the child's throat. Maybe Xu Qingluo's knife technique was good, but a little blood spilled out, not too bloody. Even so, watching a stunning girl cut open a mouth so naturally. The throat of a corpse, and the knife is fast, steady and accurate, and the effect is quite scary.

Xu Qingluo was completely unmoved by the fright she had caused the audience. Wearing the simple gloves provided by the government office, she put her fingertips into the child's bloody throat, and stirred gently.

Hu thought of something, his face was a little stiff.

A hard lump stained with blood appeared on Xu Qingluo's fingertips: "Water."

She gave an order, and someone beside her naturally put a porcelain bowl filled with clear water.

With a clanging sound, the blood around the lump dispersed, and Xu Qingluo took out the blood-dispersed object and lifted it up. Someone recognized it with sharp eyes: "Is that a sugar cube?"

"Huh? Why is it stuck in the throat."

"Isn't it stuck?"

Many people started to discuss it.

And Xu Qingluo, who was too dissatisfied and too lazy to make a sound, was stunned. He didn't examine the child's body carefully at all. It was enough to see that the child was obviously strangled to death by a woman. How could he think of examining it more carefully? , but Xu Qingluo found out at a glance. He stood there, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Xu Qingluo's faint voice sounded: "The child was indeed strangled to death, but when he was strangled, he obviously just swallowed a piece of candy in his mouth, and he died before he finished eating it. It landed at the throat and couldn't get up or down, it's really pitiful."

She casually threw the candy onto the plate next to her, and pointed her fingertips at the choke marks on the child's neck: "And here, the five fingers here are indeed the choke marks that should belong to a woman, and are the cause of the child's death. If you still don't believe that I'm not the murderer, why don't you take a look at the difference between my finger marks and the finger marks on this neck."

Xu Qingluo's five fingers landed on the pinch marks on the child's neck. She just avoided the pinch marks and scratched the child's neck. Naturally, it does not hinder the view now.

Those who stand close or have good eyes can see at a glance that the pinch mark on the child's neck is also a woman's slender hand, which is much thicker than Xu Qingluo's five fingers. Xu Qingluo's ten fingers are really It's so slender, soft and boneless, it feels good to look at, not to mention strangling people, many people look at Xu Qingluo's hands carefully and even feel that those hands don't hurt people.

Xu Qingluo Shi Shiran withdrew her five fingers: "Of course, I am not only exonerating myself, this finger mark can not only prove my innocence, but also prove who is the real murderer."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Xu Qingluo didn't hold back any more, and gestured to Wu beside him: "Please see if there is any difference between the five finger marks."

There is a place where the pinch marks are extraordinarily deep, and it seems to be enlightened on the surface of the work.

Xu Qingluo sneered: "there is an extra deep part of the pinch mark on it because there must have been a foreign object oppressing it at that time, the most common one is a finger puller, if you wear a finger finger and then pinch the child's neck, imagine the consequences That's it."

"The child was obviously eating candy before he died. Mr. Hu, you said that the child disappeared at night. May I ask if your child will be in the mood to swallow candy slowly when he wakes up at night? Or will he eat candy at night? You said? Everyone said that the child slept with you at the time. Also, this child obviously has some dementia, and he doesn’t get close to others. Those who can give him candy are those he trusts or obeys. Who else besides you, a mother, can make the child not struggle until death, and is still swallowing candy!"

Xu Qingluo grabbed one of Hu's hands, and in the midst of Hu's cry of pain, she parted her five fingers, revealing her middle finger: "What a coincidence, there are such deep traces of jewelry that you once wore on your middle finger." , How many years have you not seen the light? I still remember that you still wore that finger on your hand yesterday! Lost it so soon?"

The smile on Xu Qingluo's lips was as awe-inspiring as a Rakshasa.
