Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 98 Proof that the fugitive is a murderer
Chapter 98 Proof that the fugitive is a murderer
There were crowds of people in the courtroom.

Although Shangjun is a northern Xinjiang prefecture with a large area and few people, it is close to Neishi County, and the news from Xianyang is close, especially the surrender and northward migration of soldiers from the Six Kingdoms, so that people here have heard a little about Zhao Gang and the others. .

The soldiers were originally from the common people, and they were naturally grateful to Zhao Gang for rescuing them from fire and water.

Now that it is heard that Zhao Gang has been imprisoned, the vast majority of the people do not believe it.

After all, in their hearts, Zhao Gang is already like a god.

Because of this, when word came out from the Taishou Mansion that Zhao Gang was going to be tried, the people who came after hearing the news surrounded the entire government office three floors inside and three floors outside.

As a result, Wang Ben and Feng Quji could only send soldiers to maintain order and open a path through the crowd, and then they were able to pass.

On the high hall, Wang Ben looked at the people outside and sighed, "I never thought that Zhao Gang would have such great prestige among the people."

Feng Quji said lightly: "It doesn't matter how high the prestige is, if he can't prove himself, he still cannot escape the death penalty."

Wang Ben frowned slightly.

He didn't understand why Feng Quji would target Zhao Gang like this.

Logically speaking, they should not have had any festivals before.

But after Zhao Xing was killed, his feelings towards Zhao Gang became more and more serious.

Now that Political Commissar Ying has appointed him as the chief judge, I don't know if he can maintain an impartial attitude.

"It's almost time, bring someone in prison."

Feng Quji gave an order, and the two jailers led Zhao Gang out of the side door and came to the court.

Although Zhao Gang was involved in a murder case, Ying Zheng did not deprive him of all his powers.Therefore, the jailer did not put the shackles on him.

After sitting down, Feng Quji took out the file of this case.

"The case of the murder of the Shangjun prefect has been decided, but the suspect Zhao Gang believes that the trial was unfair, and the case is now being re-tried." After Feng Quji finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Gang and asked again.

"Zhao Gang, do you have anything to add to this case?"

"I didn't kill anyone. Someone else killed Zhao Xing."

"Someone else?"

"That's right!"

"Then I ask you, who is the murderer and where is he now?"

"The murderer is Mrs. Xiang, one of the five elders of the Yin Yang family. I have fulfilled my mission and captured her in Zhao Xing's mansion. Now she is outside. My lord can directly call her up for questioning."

"pass!"

The side door opened again, and Wang Li appeared in front of everyone, holding down Mrs. Xiang who was tied up by Wu Hua Da.

"Who is standing in the hall?"

Mrs. Xiang glanced at Feng Quji and sneered and remained silent.

"Who is standing in the hall?"

Feng Quji asked again, but unfortunately all she answered was air.

This time, he suddenly became angry.

"I'm asking you, didn't you hear me?"

"I heard."

"Why didn't you answer when you heard it?"

Mrs. Xiang smiled lightly: "There is no regulation in the Qin Law, so I must answer your question."

Feng Quji was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was about to explode when Wang Ben next to him suddenly interrupted: "Qin Fa didn't say that you wanted to answer, but Qin Fa has something to say. When the superior officials ask, the subordinate officials and even the common people should speak out. , fight ten! Come on, execute the sentence."

With one word, the two law enforcement officers directly pushed Mrs. Xiang on the ground. Even though she was a woman, they did not dare to have any thoughts of bending the law for personal gain.

With one stick, Mrs. Xiang was beaten to pieces.

"I'm asking you now, are you willing to speak?"

Mrs. Xiang gnashed her teeth and lay on the ground, her eyes red. It wasn't that she didn't want to resist, but she knew very well that even resisting would be of little use.

After all, Zhao Gang is right next to her, and with her strength, she really can't make any waves with her abilities.

"I am Luo Xiang."

"Human offender Luo Xiang, I ask you, did you kill Zhao Xing, the prefect of Shangjun?"

Mrs. Xiang sneered and said, "Do you think a weak woman like me can kill Zhao Xing?"

"Women are much more vicious than men." Wang Ben said calmly.

Wang Ben has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he has seen many powerful women.

Compared with men, although women are greatly deficient in strength and physical strength, they can win sympathy by virtue of their natural weakness.

Then he caught him off guard and made a killing move.

Feng Quji also strongly agrees.

"The little girl is a weak girl, how can she be the opponent of Zhao Xing and the elders, I hope all the adults will see clearly."

"Ming Cha? What a joke, Mrs. Xiang, one of the five great elders of the Yin Yang family, is actually pretending to be pitiful here!" Zhao Gang said sarcastically.

"My lords, when Zhao Xing and I were having a banquet that day, it was he who walked in with a jug, poisoned Zhao Xing while we were not paying attention, and then threw the whole black pot at me. "

Mrs. Xiang sneered: "Where's the evidence? Do you have any evidence?"

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. Since you have done it, you will naturally fall into the trap. Although I don't have direct evidence, I have witnesses."

"Witness?"

A fierce light flashed in Mrs. Xiang's eyes.

She was in a hurry to leave at that time, and she didn't know if there was really anyone at the scene except Zhao Gang.

If someone really saw him, and the news happened to be known by His Excellency Dong Huang, his life might really be in danger.

The more she thought about it, the more serious Mrs. Xiang's face became.

Zhao Gang naturally saw through her tricks, and nodded towards the outside of the hall,

Under the protection of Wang Li, Zhao Ping came to the hall.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Ping glanced at Zhao Gang, swallowed and replied: "I'm Zhao Ping, Zhao Xing is my cousin."

"Zhao Ping?"

Feng Quji and Wang Ben looked at each other, and they seemed to have the impression of this name in their minds.

"Are you Zhao Ping, the grandson of Zhao Sheng, Duke of Pingyuan who escaped by chance?"

"It's down."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the venue.

Zhao Sheng was the last founding minister of the State of Zhao. Since his death, the State of Zhao has plummeted. Guo Kai and other villains came to power, and finally this powerful country was completely destroyed.

Zhao Sheng's descendants should be admirable, but no one has forgotten.

After Yingzheng destroyed Zhao, he publicly stated that all the Zhao clan, regardless of gender, was reduced to civilians.

Later, because it was involved in Lord Changping's treason, all the Zhao clan became sinners, and the Zhao clan scattered in all directions became traitors.

Zhao Ping was originally a fugitive, and now he is here to prove it for Zhao Gang.

Mrs. Xiang also laughed when she heard the words: "Let a fugitive prove the murderer, is this how Daqin handles cases?"
