No baggage found
This is impossible!
Song Zhi clearly remembered that he was worried that Wang Jun could not see, so he deliberately put it on the table from under the table.
He said, "My lord, I did put that burden on Wang Jun's table, how could I not see it? Could it be taken by someone?"
"This official has ordered people to cross-examine the people in the troupe one by one, and they all said that they have never seen that burden."
"Then someone must have lied!" Song Zhi said.
The implication, that is to say, the people under the county master are ineffective, and they can't even find out if someone is lying
Mr. Zhuo was angry and wanted to use the gavel beside him to shoot it, but his reason stopped him from doing so, raised his finger and pointed at Song Zhi who was kneeling on the ground: "The people of this official have asked many times before and after, is it possible that the whole Is it true that everyone in the troupe has lied?"
"Song did not mean that."
"Then what do you mean?"
Song Zhi raised his eyes and said seriously, "When Song entered and exited the backstage of the troupe, everyone was busy, and almost no one noticed that I entered Wang Jun's small room, so if someone sneaked in quietly and deliberately stole that baggage, it would be fine too. It's possible, but I was worried about being held accountable by adults afterwards, so I lied."
Lord Zhuo said, "There are only a few clothes in the bag. Who would obstruct the yamen from handling the case because of the ragged clothes? Isn't that a crime more serious than theft?"
"Having said that, once people do bad things, they will naturally feel guilty, and it is inevitable to lie for a while." Song Zhi affirmed.
Oh, this scholar is not stupid!
After Ji Yunshu found out that Song Zhi wrote the play "Ghost Girl" in the morning, he admired him a little more in his heart, so he paid more attention to him.
That Song Zhi looks like a weak scholar and stupid!
But he is very smart, and his words are concise and well-organized.
Although Lord Zhuo was choked back by his words, he didn't have the time to listen to him so much, so he said, "Don't be arrogant, this is a court, not a theater for you to act."
"My lord, Song did not lie. Wang Jun was not killed by me. Yesterday, I did return the salute."
"Hugh is talking nonsense! Now all the evidence and witnesses point to you, it can be seen that the murderer is you!"
"Uh!" Song Zhi had nothing to say.
When he looked at Lord Zhuo, he showed a helpless look of "You can't teach children".
It seems that the magistrate is determined to convict himself!
He also knew that no matter how he argued, it would not change Mr. Zhuo's view that he was a "murderer".
Seeing that he no longer resisted, Master Zhuo said: "Song Zhi, now you have no arguments, that is to say, you have already tacitly agreed that you are the murderer. According to the law of Hu Yi, killing is paying for your life. This official will put you in prison now, and the queen will..."
"slow!"
It was Ji Yunshu who spoke out.
She walked out from behind Jing Rong, stepped forward and bowed to Lord Zhuo, and said, "Sir, this case is full of doubts, how can it be closed?"
Just after speaking, Bai Yin was about to step forward to pull her, but was stopped by Jing Rong.
Bai Yin tilted her head and asked lightly, "Do you really want her to take care of it?"
Jing Rong was silent, but he had already acquiesced.
Bai Yin had to take a few steps back, but thought to herself, if Ji Yunshu intervened in this case, the trip to Gaoding would definitely be delayed.
Lord Zhuo looked at Ji Yunshu, only to realize that there was a handsome young scholar in the court. He had been hiding behind Jing Rong and kept silent. If he hadn't spoken now, he wouldn't have noticed her at all.
"Who are you?"
"My surname is Ji."
"What did you just say?"
"I say below that this case is very suspicious."
"A lot of doubts?" Master Zhuo was slightly startled and pointed at her, "Are you trying to exonerate Song Zhi?"
She doesn't have that spare time!
"My lord, the inferiors and this son of Song are only one-sided, and they will definitely not talk nonsense because of this, and take the risk to make a crime for him."
"Then what do you mean?" Lord Zhuo glared at her.
Everyone in the court looked at her.
Even Song Zhi looked back at her with gratitude in his eyes. After all, at this time, no one wanted to have anything to do with him, but this young man stood up and spoke for himself.
However, he didn't want to cause trouble to innocent people.
Then he whispered: "This son, this matter has nothing to do with you, Song does not want to implicate you."
Ji Yunshu glanced at him: "I just can't tolerate mistakes in the case."
"This… "
Ji Yunshu looked straight, looked at Lord Zhuo, folded his hands again, and said, "Master Hui, what I mean below is that the bones in the loess... actually come from two different people!"
Uh!
There was an uproar in the courtroom.
There was only one pair of bones dug out of the loess!
However, Jing Rong, Bai Yin and the others were not surprised. It was not groundless for Ji Yunshu to say such a thing.
Master Zhuo was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of anger, and he patted the table: "How dare you talk nonsense!"
"The next sentence is true."
"Then there is only one white bone, how come there are two?"
"My lord doesn't seem to understand. The following is to say that the seemingly complete skeleton was actually pieced together from the bones of two people."
"Two people? You mean... two dead?"
"Exactly!" Master Zhuo said with a look of disbelief, "The more you say it, the more outrageous you are! You, a little scholar, are full of madness, and you have already seen it. That skeleton is Wang Jun, where did the two dead people come from? And , this officer has not sent anyone to confirm what you just said, so you are still suspects
! Why should this officer believe what a suspect said? You have no evidence and no witnesses. "
Ji Yunshu was not in a hurry or slow: "If the lord doesn't believe it, you can bring the skeleton to the court, and I will have a way to prove it."
"Enough! This official doesn't have much patience to tell you so much. If you dare to interfere with this official's work, you will be punished as complicity."
Ji Yunshu was about to speak—
Jing Rong said first, "Master Zhuo."
Lord Zhuo looked at him. Jing Rong took a step forward and raised his eyebrows lightly: "It is said that Huyi has strict laws, ranging from the state to the township, with strict and orderly systems at all levels, and local cases, no matter how big or small, will be thoroughly investigated before they are closed, but today I saw Zhuo The adults handle the case, but the eyes are wide open. It seems that the law of Huyi has not yet been universalized.
Ministry! "
The words were full of irony.
Master Zhuo's face turned blue and black, he swallowed his saliva, opened and closed his mouth, and then said, "The evidence in this case is conclusive, do I still need to ask you for instructions to conclude the case?"
"The young master has already said that there is a problem with the bones, but since there is a problem, it is not checked. Is this the conclusive evidence that the lord said?"
The young master was referring to Ji Yunshu.
Lord Zhuo's face turned blue again: "Who are you? Why should this officer bring up the bones related to the case for you to waste?"
talk!
Why
abruptly—
A voice came in from outside the courthouse of the yamen. "By this prince!"
