Chapter 337 Here comes the ironclad evidence
Zhu Mengtang's face turned purple from the pain, but he didn't know what was going on, so he continued: "Execution!"

As soon as the yamen servant tortured, the county magistrate screamed.

The master felt something was wrong, so he asked the county magistrate: "Sir, your face seems to be wrong, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, I hurt you and me."

"Sir, what's the matter with you?"

"Execution!" When Jigong said "execution", he blew on the county magistrate with his mouth.

Zhu Mengtang couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked someone to stop the torture first.

Jigong was still unwilling, and said: "Hey, my lord, how can you stop the execution? The tokens for the execution have been sent out, and they can't be broken halfway. Execution, come, execute!"

No execution was carried out.

"If you don't come, the poor monk will come by himself, and you two will clamp the stick."

Zhu Mengtang said: "Stop the execution, we will make a decision after the county and the master have discussed it."

Zhu Mengtang was in so much pain that he couldn't even walk, he was helped to the back hall by his master, and after sitting on a chair, he said: "Oh, it hurts me to death, it hurts me to death."

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

After Zhu Mengtang pulled up his trousers to show his master, he said, "Master, look at this..."

"This... my lord, is this the injury caused by the pinching stick? The wound is still very new, it seems that it was pinched just now."

"That's right, I feel like all the punishment from the stick has been applied to me."

"There is such a strange thing in the world? The stick was obviously caught in that monk's leg, how could it be caught in your leg? My lord, this is really unheard of!"

"That's why this monk is weird. We can't torture him anymore."

"How about beheading him?" The master made a beheading motion.

The county magistrate immediately shook his head and said, "No, no. If we cut him off, what should we do if the head of the county ends up being chopped off?"

The master stared at his lovely big eyes and said, "Is this impossible?"

"It's not your head, of course you don't care about it. That's fine, let's not move on to this severe punishment, but the case in this county still needs to be tried."

"My lord, we now have some physical evidence, and we can sentence the monk to death."

"Of course the county knows about it, but killing people requires a motive. Then why did the monk kill my son? We must ask clearly about these things, otherwise, the higher authorities will also close the case and ask me to retry it."

"Your concern is justified."

Zhu Mengtang limped and sat on the lobby again, he patted the gavel lightly and said: "Take down the stick first, this county will try the case according to law."

"Hey, my lord, this is against the rules. The punishment is not over yet, let's continue, okay?"

"My lord, this great punishment..."

"If you are told to withdraw, you will withdraw, so there is so much nonsense."

Jigong sat on the ground, looked at Zhu Mengtang and said, "My lord, you are the son of Zhu Taiqiang. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, you cannot try this case."

"Bastard, the county can try it if it says it can. Monk, listen to the county. If the county doesn't beat you, it won't scold you. Answer honestly, why did you kill my son?"

Ji Gong pouted and said, "The poor monk has no grievances with your son, how could the poor monk kill your son?"

"Witness Takahashi Qian Laiyi testified in court."

Zhu Mengtang asked Qian Laiyi to speak first, and Qian Laiyi said: "My lord, when Caomin pushed the door open with Gao Qiao, Zhu Taiqiang had already fallen into a pool of blood, and the monk was lying on the ground with a knife in his hand. As for the monk The grassroots did not see the killing process."

"Takahashi, tell me!"

Takahashi took three steps forward, and said, "My lord, the young master has a grudge with this monk. Three months ago, the young master had a conflict with this monk because of a woman, and finally this monk beat us to the point of being wounded all over our bodies." Maybe today, the young master saw this monk and wanted to reason with him, but who knew that this monk had evil intentions and killed the young master with a dagger."

Zhu Mengtang slapped the gavel and said, "Monk, what else do you have to say?"

"This is a good thing, you have finished it, monk, I have nothing to say."

"Since you have nothing to say, sign your name."

Someone took the confession written by the master and asked Jigong to draw it into custody.

Without further ado, Jigong picked up the brush, drew a circle on the confession, and then said, "Oh, the poor monk's drawing is not round enough, I will draw another one."

Zhu Mengtang got the confession, patted it hard, and said: "It doesn't matter if it is not round, as long as it is drawn by you."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Hey, my lord, look, the poor monk has finished his painting, can we let the poor monk go away. The poor monk has not finished his food and drink yet."

"You want to leave?"

"Yes!"

"In this life, you don't even want to leave here."

"County Master, you are deceiving the poor monk into signing a bond. The poor monk refuses to accept it. If you dare to kill the poor monk and kill the wrong good man, then your son will die unjustly."

"Crazy monk, if you dare to talk nonsense again, the county will break your legs."

"Do you dare? Come and fight! The poor monk doesn't move, if your people don't dare to fight, then they are bears."

"My lord, there is a mistake in this case. The murderer who killed your son is someone else."

Zhu Mengtang looked outside the courtroom, and saw a handsome young man in a blue gown walking in.

He stood in the courtroom, before he could kneel, the magistrate slapped the gavel and said, "Bold, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

The handsome young man said: "If your lord wants to know how your son died, you can't let me kneel down. Because if you kneel next time, you will never know the cause of your son's death."

Qian Laiyi immediately said: "Guo Qishuai is bold, you will kowtow when you see an adult, and you have no fame, so of course you have to kneel."

Guo Qishuai said angrily: "Your Excellency hasn't spoken yet, how can you speak here?"

Qian Laiyi was so angry that he stared straight at his eyes, he was almost at a loss for words, and said: "You, you, you..." Zhu Mengtang said, "Do you really know who killed my son?"

"Of course I know."

"who is it?"

"The murderer is above the lobby."

Zhu Mengtang was so angry that he patted the gavel hard, and said angrily: "Are you playing tricks on the county? The county already knows that this monk is the murderer. Do you still need you to tell the county?"

"My lord, please calm down, the murderer I'm talking about is not a monk, but him!"

Guo Qishuai suddenly pointed his finger at Qian Laiyi.

Qian Laiyi was surprised, and said: "You, you... You spout blood, how could I kill Young Master Zhu? Nonsense, framing a good person is to beheaded, do you know that?"

Guo Qishuai said: "Of course I know, if I don't have enough evidence, I won't testify against you."

"My lord, he framed Xiaomin, and asked him to make decisions for Xiaomin!"

Zhu Mengtang glared at Guo Qishuai and said, "Do you know that framing a good person will result in beheading."

Guo Qishuai said: "My lord, I say he is the murderer, of course there is ironclad evidence."

"Okay, take out your ironclad evidence."

"The proof is here."
