Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

A few days later, the trial of the Yaodou hidden corpse case officially started.

The four gold-plated characters of Zheng Da Guang stand above the center of the courtroom, and below the two sides are neatly arranged solemn and evasive ceremonial plaques, and in the middle is Bao Zheng's desk. Three well-known guillotines, the dog-head guillotine for beheading the most evil people, the tiger-head guillotine with the right to kill corrupt officials first, and the dragon-head guillotine for beheading palace nobles who knew the law and committed capital crimes!

It is true that yin and yang can be judged by using codes to deal with cases, and the first five criminal laws punish rape and eliminate evil with a stern and selfless face!

Today is the day when Kaifeng Mansion's licensing department will receive the certificate and the court will hold a trial. Before it even arrives, the court of Kaifeng Mansion is already full of people who came to hear the trial. Everyone wants to come and see it. This has been rumored Just how vicious and vicious is the Chiba ghost for a long time!

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and it was finally time for the trial to begin. A few well-dressed and handsome government servants lined up in two lines, standing on both sides of the courtroom, holding black and red sticks in their hands, rhythmically Hit the ground, and solemnly shouted: "Wei-wu-"

As soon as the prestige of the banquet came out, everyone immediately became solemn. Wang Chao Mahan, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were also in official uniforms, holding a knife in one hand, with serious expressions, standing on both sides of Mr. Bao's desk, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce followed suit. Then, Mr. Gongsun sat upright in front of the master's table, gently pushed the rice paper a few times with the paper pressure, dipped the pen in the ink, and Zhan Zhao stood on the other side with his sword in his arms. Jump out of the ordinary.

Under the attention of all the people, Bao Zheng walked out slowly wearing a black gilt official uniform. As soon as he came up, he slapped the gavel with his forehand. The hall was immediately silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

Seeing the silence in the hall, Bao Zheng said loudly, "Lead someone to commit crimes, and Su Liran will come to the hall for questioning."

The crowd remained extremely quiet under Bao Zheng's coercion, and not long after, two government servants led Su Liran, who was wearing prison clothes, to kneel in the middle of the hall.

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips and saw the white and proud Bai Yutang not far away. He had to say that this mouse had a different aura. Standing in the crowd and comparing it with others, let alone how handsome it was, besides, As soon as he stood there, the others stood aside knowingly, not daring to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Bao Zheng slapped the gavel again, and asked loudly, "Who is in the hall, who hasn't reported his name yet?"

Su Liran knelt and replied: "The villain Su Liran is from Suzhou."

Bao Zheng said: "Su Liran, do you know what crime you committed?"

Su Liran said awe-inspiringly: "Return to Mr. Bao, the villain came to the capital to do legitimate business and did not break the law."

"Su Liran, someone accused you of trying to murder, but because he resisted with all his strength, he only let you succeed with one arm, do you admit it or not?"

"It's nothing but fiction."

Bao Zheng looked at Su Liran, and shouted to the yamen servant: "Come here, bring witnesses to court!"

As soon as the words fell, Boss Yang of Ji'an Shop knelt down in front of the hall and shouted loudly: "My lord, you have to decide for the villain. This Chiba ghost is harmful to people. He was so mad that he first harmed Ruolan. Boss Du of Tong An Tang, hid his corpse in a medicine bucket, and then killed Boss Tong of Tong'an Tang, and sent his body to the medicine bucket. The adults rushed to the villain’s shop in time to save the villain’s life, otherwise, otherwise, I’m afraid the villain would have already turned into a bloody corpse, my lord!!!”

Bao Zheng asked: "People under the hall, report their names!"

Boss Yang choked for a moment, and seeing Bao Zheng's solemn expression, Shi Shiran replied: "The villain's surname is Yang, he has a famous name, and he is the head of Ji'an Medicine Shop in the capital."

"Yang Xue, I want to ask you, you said that Su Liran killed the bosses of Ruolantang and Tong'antang two pharmacies, but did you witness it with your own eyes?"

"No, but..."

"Since you didn't see it with your own eyes, how can you be sure that Su Liran is the murderer?"

"My lord, that's because the way this guy wants to murder me is exactly the same as the way he killed the bosses of Ruolantang and Tong'antang. It must be the same person who committed the crime!"

Bao Zheng raised his head: "What method is it?"

"That's right, it's the inhumane way of dismembering the corpse after murder, and then hiding the corpse in the medicine bucket!"

Bao Zheng squinted his eyes: "Guard Zhan, what happened when you and Bai Shaoxia arrived at Ji'an Pharmacy, please tell the truth."

Zhan Zhao bowed slightly, and replied: "My lord, when Bai Yutang and I arrived at Ji'an Pharmacy, we went straight in because we heard a noise in the inner room. As soon as we entered, we saw Yang Xue, the owner of the shop, covered in blood. On the ground, there was a complete severed hand beside him, and there was a murder weapon on the ground, and Su Liran was standing at the door at that time."

Bao Zheng signaled his understanding, then turned his head and asked Gongsun Ce who was at the side: "Mr. Gongsun, you are responsible for the work of the two victims of Ruolantang and Tong'antang. Excuse me, the two victims were dismembered before they died. Yes, or was it dismembered after death?"

Gongsun got up and replied: "My lord, the student's examination is very clear. The two murdered bosses, Ruolantang and Tong'antang, were both dismembered after death, and the body parts were hidden in the medicine bucket."

Bao Zheng nodded, and asked Boss Yang: "Yang Xue, according to Zhan Weiwei's words, you only lost one arm, why did you assert that you would be dismembered and put into the medicine bucket like the previous two cases? Also, the murderer always kills the victim first and then dismembers him, why is it different when it comes to you?"

Boss Yang said anxiously: "But Mr. Zhan also saw it at the time. The drawer of the angelica in my Yaodou was opened. Didn't the drawer of the angelica in the first two cases be opened? As for killing first and then dismembering the corpse, first After dismembering the body and killing people, how does the villain know what the Chiba ghost wants to do today? Maybe he has a different mentality today, so he changed to a method of torture..."

As soon as Boss Yang said this, the people watching in the hall started whispering and discussing, Bao Zheng slapped the gavel again, and shouted: "Silence!"

When the hall returned to silence, Bao Zheng continued: "Yang Xue, how did you know that the medicine fight in the previous two cases was opened in that drawer of Angelica?"

Yang Xue was startled, and then smiled again and said: "These two cases have been spread up and down in the capital, and the villain naturally heard others say that..."

Bao Zheng said: "When this case happened, the Zhanwei guards explained to all the relevant personnel that they should not reveal any details about the corpse hidden in Yaodou. Naturally, the opened angelica drawer will not be disclosed to the public. May I ask, what groundless rumors did you listen to? "

"This..." Yang Xuechan said with a smile, "I don't remember who I heard it from. Mr. Zhan gave such an order, but someone forgot. It is not impossible to reveal such a small detail, isn't it?"

Bao Zheng snorted coldly, and said: "Today, the government will ask you to confront everyone to see who revealed this news to you! Come on, bring all the relevant people from Ruo Lan Hall and Tong An Hall to the court for questioning! "

As soon as the words fell, some yamen servants brought all the staff and relatives from Ruolan Hall and Tong'an Hall to the hall, and Yang Xue began to turn pale.

Bao Zheng asked: "You said, who revealed to Yang Xue that the drawer of an angelica in the corpse medicine bucket was opened? If you tell it, the government will not punish you."

Everyone was silent, and Yang Xue couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

Zhan Zhao silently watched Mrs. Tong San in the crowd, and saw "she" Dai'e frowned slightly, and almost wanted to speak, but Yang Xue, who had been kneeling on the ground, looked at "her" and signaled "her" to keep quiet After that, "she" began to stand back and wait and see.

Seeing this situation, Zhan Zhao whispered a few words to Bao Zheng and stood back to his original position.

After waiting for a while, Bao Zheng said to Boss Yang: "Since no one is willing to stand up, Xue Yang, what else do you have to say?"

Yang Xue raised his head and said: "Maybe the villain made a mistake, thinking that his own angelica drawer was opened by the red ghost, and the other two families were the same, tsk, but Mr. Bao, this at most shows that the person surnamed Su is in front of him. The two cases are not necessarily related, but it is an indisputable fact that he cut me with a knife and cut off one of the villain's hands!"

Bao Zheng said: "Chao Mahan, step forward to demonstrate."

"Yes, my lord!"

The two walked up to Boss Yang, and Bao Zheng continued: "According to Yang Xueyou told Zhan Zhao how to be chopped off, that man stood behind you and swung a knife and chopped off your hand."

Wang Chao stood in front of Ma Han, and Ma Han pulled out his scabbard and slashed towards Wang Chao's arm in front of him. Suddenly, Wang Chao raised his hand to block the knife, and the knife cut his hand horizontally. out of the knife block reaction.

Bao Zheng said: "Yang Xue, I ask you, would ordinary people resist in this way?"

Boss Yang didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment, so he remained silent.

Bao Zheng said again: "Ma Han, you are holding the knife and slashing at your hand."

Ma Han did as he said.

"Yang Xue, your wound was clearly caused by yourself slashing yourself with a knife, yet you want to falsely accuse Su Liran of committing the crime, what is your intention?!"

When the people below heard it, they all started to be surprised, Bao Zheng immediately slapped the gavel again, and said, "It's not true!"

Yang Xue was frightened by the gavel, and immediately threw himself on the ground, shouting loudly: "My lord, how can a villain cut off his own hand and be so pretentious!"

"Yang Xue, Zhan Weiwei has already found out that you are the real murderer who killed the two heads of Ruolantang and Tong'antang. You also want to use your blind spots to pretend that you are also one of the victims. Unfortunately, the Skynet is back. You think you are playing the government office. Turn around, don't you know that we already know that you are the murderer, and you still want to shirk the blame with a smooth tongue!"

"Big... my lord, no villain... no, my lord..."

"I still want to quibble!" Bao Zheng picked up the token on the case table and threw it down fiercely, "First hit a hundred boards, and put him in prison today for another trial!"

Yang Xue was still yelling there, and several officials had already pressed him to the ground regardless of 21 and [-], and they would not let him down lightly!

Everyone present was stunned, Zhan Zhao secretly looked at Third Madam Tong, and saw that "she" was completely pale, trembling as if she would faint at any moment.

Bai Yutang on the side looked at Zhan Zhao, thinking that Zhan Zhao never mentioned Mrs. Tong as an accomplice in the whole case. Could it be that he was trying to lure the snake out of the hole?
