Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 248

The woman was stunned for a moment, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, isn't that the biggest official of the Ministry of Punishment?

How could such a big official be alarmed, and shouldn't the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice be in the imperial capital?How did they come to their remote small county? This is a bit unreasonable!
The woman lowered her head and thought with tears in her eyes. She doesn't know what's going on now. The yamen servant told her that something happened to the county lieutenant. Why is something wrong with her current state?

But the woman still said softly: "The concubine is the county captain's wife, Mrs. Zhang."

The Minister of Criminal Affairs continued to ask: "We are trying the case, and suddenly we got this bloody jade pendant. I heard it belonged to the county lieutenant, so I asked you to ask if it belonged to the county lieutenant, so that we can find someone."

Mrs. Zhang dispelled her previous doubts when she heard what Minister of the Ministry of Justice said. It turned out that this was the case, but it seemed that this bloody jade pendant hadn't been seen by her husband for a long time.

Is it true that your husband suffered an accident?Sitting here, Li Si Liu Qing didn't look anxious at all, but his face was very complicated, as if hesitating to speak.

Could it be that something unexpected happened, so I don’t know what to say?

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment once again slapped the gavel: "Mr. Zhang, I am asking you, and you answer the question truthfully. Otherwise, I will not care about your husband's life or death. Does this jade pendant belong to the county lieutenant Li Husband?"

Mrs. Zhang is a little clever, otherwise she wouldn't be able to win the heart of the county lieutenant.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice slapped the gavel, and Mrs. Zhang was taken aback. When she heard that the county lieutenant was dead or alive, she was so frightened that she couldn't think about it. She immediately replied: "Yes, it is my husband's jade pendant. I can be sure of it Yes, my lord, please save my husband."

The minister of the Ministry of punishment showed a smile on his face, and then said to the master next to him, write down the testimony and ask Zhang to sign it.

This is the effectiveness of the evidence of this era.

Naturally, the master dared not refuse, and put the piece of paper recording Zhang's words in front of Zhang, and asked her to mark it.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know what was going on, and didn't dare to ask, so she took a look at the words above, and found that she said it herself, and admitted that the jade pendant was the matter of the county magistrate, so she put it at ease.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice said directly to the back: "Come out."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang looked up, she saw her husband being carried out. She looked at the scene before her in surprise, and couldn't believe it at all.

When the county lieutenant came out, he looked decadent. He didn't blame Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang was just worried about herself.

It can only be said that he was careless and lost such an important thing. The county lieutenant regretted it at the beginning. It would have been better if he had been more cautious. Unfortunately, it was the first time he killed someone and he was a little flustered.

Liu Qingli was a little restless now. He could not let the county lieutenant be convicted so easily.

Mrs. Zhang called her brother-in-law when she came in just now, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice will definitely have thoughts about him in the future.

Li Si Liu Qing cleared his throat, then stood up and bowed to salute.

"My lord, it seems far-fetched to rely on this bloody jade pendant. After all, if this jade pendant is stolen, it is possible to frame the county lieutenant."

Mrs. Zhang felt that she seemed to have harmed the county magistrate just now, and when she heard what Liu Qing said, she immediately made up for it.

"Yes, my lord, the concubine's room has not seen this jade pendant recently."

Chen Yi laughed, and followed their words: "That's right, because the county magistrate took it away as evidence on the night the county lieutenant killed the county magistrate."

Mrs. Zhang gasped, how did people know about this?
Is this case being tried now? ! !
"Nonsense, whoever sees people, who knows if you framed my husband casually."

Chen Yi was not angry, and said calmly: "There are bloody handprints on this jade pendant, just take the jade pendant and check with the county magistrate's hand to know if it is true."

Chen Yi had used the prop "Time Machine" before, and knowing that the scene reappeared was captured by the county magistrate himself, so he was naturally not afraid.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment immediately patted the servant to check the handprint. After a while, the servant's pale face returned the result that the handprint and the bloody fingerprint matched.

The county lieutenant looked at Chen Yi with unwillingness and resentment on his face, as if cursing Chen Yi in his heart.

Chen Yi saw the county lieutenant's eyes, and said unhurriedly: "My lord, some people seem to be unconvinced by this evidence. It's okay, I have a second evidence."

After speaking, let the yamen servant go to the back to take out the evidence he kept.

The county lieutenant was a little confused, why did he still have evidence? When did he leave evidence?
After a while, the yamen servant took out something wrapped in cloth, which looked like a sword. The county captain suddenly remembered that Chen Yi had snatched his sword and refused to return it.

Could it be that at that time, Chen Shilang found out that he had killed the county magistrate?
Chen Yi took the sword and took off the cloth on it, and explained: "This sword is the one that killed the county magistrate. You can check the wound. There is a small gap in this place, and there is a gap in the scabbard. There should be blood in it."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yi presented the sword up.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment immediately recruited Wu Zuo to conduct an inspection. Chen Yi was not idle while Wu Zuo was conducting the inspection.

Continue to provide evidence: "My lord, I have a witness. This person is the person who was sent by the county magistrate to assassinate the magistrate when he found out that the magistrate seemed to be investigating the murder of the magistrate."

The county lieutenant quickly looked up at Chen Yi, and opened his mouth, yes, he sent someone to kill Chen Yi before.

It's just that he didn't find out that Chen Yi was investigating this matter, but he was worried that Ye Chang had many dreams, so he wanted to kill the county magistrate. It turned out that he was left behind by them, so he asked why he was missing and thought he was killed.

Chen Yi clapped his hands, and soon the killer was brought up, and then he began to talk about what he said he knew.

The main reason is why the county magistrate sent himself to kill, and to identify what the county magistrate told him about killing the county magistrate, these are true, and this killer is the county magistrate's former guard.

It can be said that he knew what the county magistrate did. If he hadn't been sent out for something at that time, he might have done the killing of the county magistrate.

Then there is only one result, the county lieutenant refuses to admit it, and let him take the blame.

The killer knew that the county lieutenant could do it, so he didn't want to continue to hide it.

Moreover, in the current situation, it seems that the result is the same with or without his testimony. Chen Yi gave him a chance, of course he must seize it, otherwise his family will be endangered.

As soon as Chen Yi presented these few pieces of evidence, no one doubted them anymore.

And the county lieutenant's face was ashen, and there was no room for rebuttal at all.

Liu Qing was in a cold sweat in his heart. Fortunately, he only said one sentence and did not do anything else to favoritism. However, he regretted saying that sentence very much.

The evidence is conclusive, so why do you ask yourself to help?
