After the first fool

Chapter 136
The magistrate and Li Yuanwai were shocked by Mo Xiaoran's words. What is it that they will not die until the Yellow River?Does she really have ironclad evidence in her hand?The two turned their heads and looked at each other.

"My lord," Mo Xiaoran didn't even look at the two of them, she looked directly at the officials of Dali Temple above her, and said in a deep voice, "I have two pieces of evidence here, please have your lord look them over." She took them out of her bosom. The two letterheads were handed over to a guard, and then, he lowered his head, looked at the two defendants who looked slightly panicked, and smiled slowly.

That confident smile fell into the eyes of the two of them, but it was like a devil, making their hearts tremble, and they felt a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to their scalps.

"My lord, please read." The guard respectfully handed over the letter to the official. He frowned slightly, glanced at Mo Xiaoran, and then lowered his head, "This is..."

"Here is one of the autopsy records of that day," Mo Xiaoran said again, speaking forcefully, "the other is about the criminal records after the incident."

The official asked in confusion: "What are you doing to show me this thing?"

"I just want you to see clearly, remember it," Mo Xiaoran smiled, "According to the autopsy records, two people died in the fire," she pointed out two fingers.

"That's right, they are the plaintiff Zi Yan's parents." The official nodded slowly in agreement, "But, so what?"

"According to Wu Zuo's records, the deceased had no external injuries. Because the incident happened suddenly, he was burned by the fire and died tragically in the fire." It was like a red sun in the sky, "But, I have doubts in my heart, even the ancestral house has collapsed, why the body has no external injuries? Don't you find it strange?"

"Maybe all the remains were burned to ashes." The official had an idea, and argued, after all, it would be a miracle to keep the corpse intact in the fire!

"My lord, you are wrong." Mo Xiaoran sighed, shaking her head slowly.

"Where is it wrong?" The official was very annoyed by her question-and-answer pattern, why pretend to be mysterious?What kind of mystery are you playing?If you have something to say, can't you be generous and finish it all at once?

Seeing the anxiety on his face, Mo Xiaoran smiled with satisfaction. He didn't realize that his thinking ability had been controlled by Mo Xiaoran, and he was almost being led by her, "The corpse is indeed well preserved. , otherwise, how could Zuo write such a record?"

The official glanced at the yellowed autopsy record in his hand, and nodded blankly, "So what exactly are you trying to say?"

"My lord, this is just the first doubtful point in this case," Mo Xiaoran moved behind the magistrate, and slapped him hard on the back. The magistrate was suddenly attacked by her, saliva stuck in his throat, his cheeks turned red quickly, and he held his throat Constant dry cough.

"What are you doing?" the official yelled angrily, and the guards in the courtroom pulled out the blades at their waists, pointing the blades at Mo Xiaoran, as if they wanted to pierce her heart with ten thousand arrows.

"Ala, I'm sorry," Mo Xiaoran shrugged, and although she said sorry words, she couldn't hear the slightest apology in her tone: "I seem to be a bit harsh, I just want to show you the second doubtful point." .”

"What's the matter with the magistrate?" The official breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that today's incident was a bit weird, as if it had become a monologue for her alone. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Bai Mo, who was sitting upright, forget it, even the regent If he can listen to it fascinated, he will let the lawyer go and see if he can name a flower.

Mo Xiaoran clicked her tongue twice, "Generally speaking, when it comes to major criminal cases, they are reported to the imperial court, registered by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then issued a notice to let the local officials pronounce the prisoner according to the law. Sir, is that right? ?” She asked with a little doubt, her expression was innocent.

The official took a deep breath, still unable to understand her thoughts: "Yes, it is true."

"Then I'm even more surprised." Mo Xiaoran walked out from behind the magistrate, walked slowly to the underside of the upright plaque, pointed to another record on the table with the folding fan in her hand, "Look, this There are only so few written in black and white? Four years ago, two people were burned to death, and it was the deceased's own daughter who did it. It's so insane that it's not as good as pigs and dogs. Shouldn't it be explained in detail, and then the Did the Ministry of Punishment impose the death penalty? Why did you just write down the year and a sentence, and then it disappeared?"

"This..." The official's eyes flickered slightly, and he hesitated.

Listening to Mo Xiaoran's narration layer by layer, it seems that there are many doubts in this case.

"My lord, don't listen to her gossip to confuse the crowd." Seeing that it was not good, the magistrate hastily spoke out, trying to turn the situation around.

Mo Xiaoran's eyes widened in astonishment, and then she chuckled: "You say I'm bewitching people? Then can you explain to me the two doubts I just raised, eh?"

The magistrate's face froze slightly, and he closed his mouth with resentment. After a long time, he finally uttered a sentence: "After four years, I can't remember the specific situation, but at that time, it was indeed in accordance with Dongyao's law. In dealing with this case, I will absolutely not show any favoritism, and it is impossible for me to play any tricks in it."

"Your magistrate," Mo Xiaoran called out meaningfully, and said with a little regret: "Everyone will say such beautiful words. In the court, what is important is evidence, right and wrong. It has the testimony of Dali Temple and the regent. It’s not just one or two words from you and me that can shake them.”

After finishing speaking, her eyes filled with a smile slowly swept over to the side, Bai Mo who was sitting upright, "My lord, do you think so?"

Facing her sparkling eyes, Bai Mo nodded slightly, parted his thin lips, and slowly uttered a word: "Yes."

Mo Xiaoran chuckled, like a little fox, with a tail wagging behind her back, "Look, even the prince admitted it, even if you can justify it now, I found more than these two doubts, wait After I finish talking one by one, how about you come back to refute one by one?"

The magistrate's face was flushed, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he stared at Mo Xiaoran intently, wishing to cut her into pieces. If sight could kill, she might have died countless times already.

However, it's a pity that she is still standing here in good condition, with her hands behind her back and her ponytail swaying from side to side naturally, casually and at ease, "I think my lord should have read the pleadings I wrote."

"En." The official twirled his beard and nodded slightly.

"It clearly stated on it that four years ago, the plaintiff, Ziyan, was imprisoned because she refused to agree to marry this beast," Su pointed to Li Yuanwai, who had been silent all this time, "and was humiliated by him, She originally thought that she could rely on the local parental officer, but! This person, "his cold eyes were firmly rooted in the magistrate, "he secretly colluded with Li Yuanwai and sent the plaintiff, Ziyan, to jail." Mo Xiaoran He lowered his head and looked gloomy, "Fortunately, some people from the Jianghu came to rob the prison, and the plaintiff also took advantage of the chaos to escape."

Every sentence in her mouth was in cadence, which easily resonated with others. Li Yuanwai lowered his head and remained silent. His body was as stiff as a rock. The prefect Gululu rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking about a way to get out.

"Then what? These officials have already read it on the pleadings, so you don't need to repeat it." The official waved his hand, signaling for her to say what she had to say and fart, and not to waste his patience here.

"Be patient for now, my lord. I was just about to get to the point." Mo Xiaoran glanced outside the courtroom, frowned slightly, and then smiled slowly with the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Are you trying to tell this officer that you haven't reached the point yet, and that what you said above is all useless nonsense?" the official asked slightly annoyed, feeling like he was being played like a monkey.

Mo Xiaoran was slightly taken aback, and just about to explain, she saw Qingfeng pushing a wooden cart, followed by the three Makumo brothers, who arrived outside the hall. She was slightly relieved, "My lord, I'm now asking for a witness to go to court."

witness?

Everyone present was shocked. After four years, she was able to find witnesses?The magistrate and the officials who were kneeling on the ground gasped in horror, and even the official who was adjudicating the case changed his face slightly, "Pass it up."

"The passer's certificate goes to the hall—" a guard said loudly, and the voice came from the court to the outside of the hall.

At the end of the shogunate period, the three brothers walked into the court together, lifted their robes and knelt down.

"Who are they?"

"They are the martial arts people who robbed and escaped from prison four years ago." Mo Xiaoran smiled and pointed at the end of the curtain: "This person was captured by the local officials because he robbed the rich and helped the poor, and put them in prison. These two people, She pointed at the other two men and continued: "They were the accomplices in the prison robbery at that time."

"What?" The official slapped the table and stood up abruptly.

"Don't worry, my lord. At the end of the curtain, you will tell my lord everything you saw in the prison four years ago." Mo Xiaoran looked at the end of the curtain encouragingly. She knew that this man had a great sense of justice. , will not change temporarily.

At the end of the curtain, he kowtowed heavily, "Back then I fell into the trap of an official, was caught in Biyue Town, and was imprisoned. I remember that a woman who killed her parents was also in prison," he glanced at Passing Zi Yan, a gleam shot out of her eyes: "This is the woman."

The courtroom was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

"Although she was imprisoned, dignitaries often came to visit her."

"My lord," Mo Xiaoran interrupted the words at the end of the curtain, "It stands to reason, how could an ordinary citizen who committed a heinous crime be visited by dignitaries every day?"

The words were full of bewitching flavor, and the high-ranking official couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Mo Xiaoran's words.

"At the end of the curtain, take a look again. Is there anyone you remember here?" Mo Xiaoran spoke again, and the eyes of the end of the curtain swept over everyone present one by one. be recognized.

Mo Xiaoran snorted softly, and did not comment on their self-deception. Today, she will not expose the true colors of these two people and pretend to be a policeman!
At the end of the curtain, the eyes of Li Yuanwai paused for a long time, as if he was examining him. Suddenly, he yelled: "It's him! I remember, he once visited the prison."

"My lord!" Li Yuanwai raised his head quickly, "Caomin just can't bear to see Ziyan suffering in prison. After all, she will kill her own parents. It's also because of Zutian's matter. Caomin feels pity in her heart, so she will continue to die. Go visit her someday."

"You lied—" Zi Yan pointed at his nose excitedly, and roared fiercely, "You are obviously going to tell me that as long as I promise to be your concubine, you will let me go free! But I would rather die than obey , you just...just..."

She was sobbing, Mo Xiaoran couldn't help but flashed his eyes, and patted her on the shoulder, "My lord, the first doubtful point I just mentioned below is here." She did not explain Li Yuanwai's excuse. , struggle, he can only struggle to the death.

Walking slowly to the side of the wooden cart, she bowed solemnly, and then lifted the white cloth on the cart.

"Hiss—" Several guards who were not mentally strong gasped when they saw the two completely charred corpses.

The corpse has long been beyond recognition, almost turned into coke!
