Wan Zhong didn't expect the development of things to be like this, he didn't realize that he was fooled until now.
Li Kuan's confession led the case to Wan Shi.
And Wan Shi was in the yamen. At this moment, she had woken up after a night of lethargy. In the past half month, Wan Shi had been living in a daze, and it was the first time she had been so awake like today.
But what she faced after waking up was something she had never expected.
"Murder? Me?" Wan's spirit was very bad, his lips were pale, his cheeks were thin, and Miss Qianjin, who was used to rich clothes and fine food, ate nothing during the half-month of groggy.
Not even enough to feed her stomach, she is weak now, hungry and thirsty, and her head is still full of mush.
But despite this, she still chose to deny it cautiously and instinctively after understanding the situation.
"I don't know anything... You don't want to wrong me." She said with all her strength, her eyelids rolled up, and her gaze was directed at her foster brother who was sitting next to her.
Wan Chong clenched his fists, his whole body exuding violent hostility.
He was very angry, very angry, like a flammable powder keg, it only needed a trigger to explode, blowing up the entire yamen.
County magistrate Song was already scared and hid behind the master, but the prosecutor Zhuang who was closest to Wanzhong seemed to have not noticed anything, and asked Wan's calmly, "Zhang Mazi, do you recognize him?"
knowledge? "
Wan Shi shook his head: "I don't know."
Prosecutor Zhuang raised his eyebrows: "You answered so quickly, why don't you think about it?"
Wan Shi frowned: "How could I know someone with such a vulgar and vulgar name?"
Prosecutor Zhuang turned his head and looked at Magistrate Song.
County magistrate Song swallowed his saliva under Wan Zhong's murderous eyes, and said in a difficult voice, "Bring on the servant girl Yinxiu."
The Wan Clan has many servants, but there are four who are closest to him, two men and two women, whose names are Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron.
The county magistrate has the right to summon anyone to testify in court, and Yinxiu was brought here by the yamen early this morning.
Yinxiu herself was very flustered, and she didn't know what was going on. After being brought into the hall, she first looked at the young lady blankly, and then looked blankly at Prosecutor Zhuang in the hall.
The famous kowtowed: "The daughter of the people has met the adults."
Prosecutor Zhuang said calmly: "Yinxiu, I ask you, what did you do on the fourth day of last month?"
Yinxiu was stunned, and thought for a long time before replying: "My lord, it's been... so long, and the girl doesn't remember..."
Prosecutor Zhuang reminded her: "The fourth day of last month was the day your uncle was found dead. What did you do that day?"
As soon as I mentioned this Yinxiu, I remembered, her complexion changed first, then she glanced at her young lady secretly, and finally said with awe-inspiring expression: "My lord, that day my uncle suddenly met with you."
Difficult, my young lady was heartbroken, and the minnv stayed by her side from beginning to end, taking care of and comforting her. "
"Haven't you been out?"
Yinxiu shook her head: "No."
Prosecutor Zhuang laughed, his kind and fat face looked very friendly, but what he said sent chills down the spine: "This is what you said, and you have never been out, so if I have a witness
It proves that I saw you on Dongwu Street that day. What you say now is a lie, deceiving the official, and despising the court. This is a serious crime of exile. "
Yinxiu was taken aback, with a trace of panic on her face, and then hurriedly changed her words: "My lord, time has passed too long, the girl really forgot... No, but now the girl wants to
Woke up, that afternoon, Miss could not eat because of loss of appetite, Minnv... Minnv went to the glutinous rice ball shop on Dongwu Street, and bought glutinous rice balls for my lady..."
Prosecutor Zhuang asked, "Which dumpling shop?"
Yinxiu's mind was spinning rapidly, and she stammered, "Hi, Xiji Sweet Shop..."
"Nonsense!" Prosecutor Zhuang slapped the gavel and shouted, "There is no Xiji sweet shop in Dongwu Street!"
Yinxiu hurriedly changed her words: "It's not Xiji, it's virtue, virtue..."
"Depinzhai?"
Yinxiu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Depinzhai, Depinzhai..."
The chill on Prosecutor Zhuang's face almost froze, he said: "Magistrate Song, tell me."
County magistrate Song raised his voice: "From the first day to the eighth day of last month, the owner of Depinzhai married his daughter and closed down for eight days."
Sweat came out of Yinxiu's face, she panicked, looked at her young lady in a hurry, and said hesitantly: "No, it's not Depinzhai, it's... yes..."
"What is it?" Prosecutor Zhuang was aggressive.
"yes… "
"You said you were going to buy glutinous rice balls, so what kind of glutinous rice balls did you buy? Sesame? Fresh meat? Eight treasures?"
Yinxiu swallowed her saliva: "Fresh...fresh meat..."
"Your lady has a poor appetite, why don't you buy her appetizers instead of greasy meat glutinous rice balls?"
"It's eight, eight treasures..."
"Is it eight treasures or fresh meat? Or did you buy both?"
"I bought them all... no, eight treasures... no, yes, fresh meat..."
Yinxiu was completely confused, her whole head was in a mess, and the arguments she had thought up beforehand were useless, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Wan Shi couldn't stand it anymore, and stared at Yinxiu fiercely.
But at this time, Prosecutor Zhuang turned his gaze to Wan Shi again: "She doesn't remember, what about you? You don't remember what you ate yourself?"
"I… "
Wan was about to speak when Prosecutor Zhuang interrupted her again: "Have you ever eaten glutinous rice balls? It's not the New Year, it's not the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are few people eating glutinous rice balls in this season. Sweet water shops around
Most of the festival days do not include glutinous rice balls, including Depinzhai, but tell me what you are eating, and I will send someone to ask if they sold glutinous rice balls to you on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. "
Wan's words stopped abruptly, and she looked at her brother in a panic.
Wan Zhong had already frowned at this moment, the darkness in his eyes couldn't be stopped.
But at this time, Prosecutor Zhuang looked at Yinxiu again, and asked loudly, "I can't remember which glutinous rice balls I bought, and I can't remember what kind of stuffing I bought. What did you do on Dongbu Street?"
Who made you go? How much did you give Zhang Mazi? And Zhang Mazi's wife, you have seen her, right? What did you say to her? "
Several questions in a row completely crushed Yinxiu, who was already flustered.
Accompanied by mental weakness, she suddenly covered her ears and shouted, "I gave her the rat poison, and I told her that my husband is going to kill her!"
As soon as the words came out, the whole hall fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Prosecutor Zhuang resumed his soft and gentle tone: "Then you admit it, have you had contact with Zhang Mazi and his wife?"
Yinxiu was half paralyzed on the ground like a punctured ball.
As Liu Wei said, it is very easy to find evidence of Wan Shi. Wan Shi is not a very vigilant person.
The scruples caused her to be so perfunctory even in clearing up the evidence.
Yinxiu's testimony was equivalent to pulling Wan's leg and dragging half of her body into a hell full of magma.
And Liu Wei's next testimony will push Wan's whole body into the magma, let her taste the taste of hot rocks, what exactly is it like.
