Hearing Sun Shaozong's insistence that his previous confession had already revealed the clues, Ma Yizhen couldn't help but feel flustered for a while.
But he thought about it, but he couldn't think of any fatal flaws he had exposed.
Thinking about the three seemingly sharp questions of Chen Jingde just now, but they were easily perfunctory, Ma Yizhen couldn't help but raised his head and asked: "There is no half-truth in the question of the poor man, if your lord insists on accusing him of the crime On the head of Pindao, please come up with real evidence!"
"Ha ha… "
Sun Shaozong laughed, and flicked his fingers on the open confession, and said indifferently: "You once said in the Dali Temple Court that on the twelfth day of this month, you personally saw Zhao Yixiong and Ma's family privately in the back garden. Yes, this is not the official slandering it out of thin air, right?"
Ma Yizhen couldn't help but murmured again when he saw that Master Sun had a solid heart in his chest.
But this part of the confession has been considered repeatedly by him, so what's wrong with it
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and simply threw out the last card: "Reporting to your lord, in fact, in addition to the impoverished Daoist who ran into Zhao Yixiong and Ma's private meeting, there was also a Daoist boy who saw them one after the other. Sneaky out of the back garden!"
After a pause, he bent down and continued: "Because Pindao doesn't want to involve that Daotong, he didn't mention it before - if you don't believe it, you can call him to ask questions!"
"Ha ha… "
Ma Yizhen's words fell, but Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing, then shook his head and said: "What a cunning thief, he has prepared other witnesses in advance, no wonder he can win people's trust."
Pa~!
Having said this, Sun Shaozong slammed the gavel and sneered: "Unfortunately, you are clever but you are mistaken! Let me ask you, you said before that the two entered the back garden one after another, and then hid in the rockery. Secret talk later, isn't it?!"
Ma Yizhen's heart skipped a beat, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with the question Sun Shaozong asked.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he nodded and replied, "That's right."
Then, he added: "Pin Dao saw Zhao Yixiong entering the back garden at that time, because he didn't want to meet him, so he deliberately hid, but he never thought that not long after that, the prostitute also sneaked in."
"Pindao didn't think it was right, so he sneaked up near the rockery to eavesdrop, and only then did he know that the two of them had an affair, and the prostitute was pregnant because of it!"
He didn't know how many times he thought about these words in his heart. At first, he couldn't let go, but later, he became more and more emotional.
Sun Shaozong took his performance into his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: As expected, if there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Shaozong asked again, "According to this, are the two really meeting in private behind the rockery?"
"Exactly!"
After getting Ma Yizhen's unequivocal answer, Sun Shaozong suddenly raised his voice and commanded: "Come on, let Zhang Hu and Zhao Long go to court!"
With this shout, I saw two yamen rushing in, standing in front of Ma Yizhen and bowing and salute: "The villain Zhang Hu [Zhao Long] has seen the adults."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hu reported loudly: "I followed the instructions of the adults and went to the back garden of Hongyuan Zhenren, and the result was exactly as you said. The rockery was not only muddy, but also uneven!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhao Long turned his body sideways, illuminating the mud on his buttocks to everyone, and then pointed to the mud-stained boots: "The little man stood there for a while, and the shoes got stuck and fell accidentally. A fall."
After listening to the two of them, Huang Bin's face was flushed with excitement, and there were some small movements behind the screen and in the tea room.
But that Ma Yizhen's face was instantly bloodless!
"Ma Yizhen."
Sun Shaozong stared at Ma Yizhen with a half-smile but asked, "Did it snow before the twelfth of this month?"
Ma Yizhen opened his mouth tremblingly, but couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, Liu Yiwei, who was still on the side, took the initiative and said, "If you go back to your lord, it snowed on the ninth day of this month."
"When did the last snow fall?"
"Four days ago."
"Which of the two snows is bigger or smaller?"
"The ninth game was bigger."
"That is to say..."
There was a sneer at the corner of Sun Shaozong's mouth: "On the twelfth of this month, the mud behind the rockery will only be more serious than today - Ma Yizhen, the official should ask whether Zhao Yixiong and Ma are blind or not. Fool? Otherwise, why would you have a private meeting in such a muddy and slippery place?"
"And after the Ma's and Zhao Yixiong's private meeting, how did they cover up the mud on the shoes so that the two maids didn't notice?!"
"This this… "
Up to now, Ma Yizhen is no longer as calm as before, and his majestic body is shaking like chaff.
"This only proves that you are lying!"
Sun Shaozong let out a low drink, and then smiled again: "It's just that you recognized it again, a little Taoist boy once saw Zhao Yixiong and Ma's coming out of the back garden successively, that is to say, they did meet in the back garden. ."
"Then what did they say? Why did they meet in the back garden?"
"This… "
Ma Yizhen is still at a loss for words. Although he can make up a dialogue between Ma and Zhao Yixiong in minutes, no matter how much he can make it up, he can't make up for the previous hole!
"Since you don't want to say it, let this official say it."
"Because Ma Shi was pregnant and tried to force you to fly away together, you murdered her, and then arranged this two birds with one stone plan!"
"In order to convince others that the person who had an affair with the Ma family was Zhao Yixiong, you deliberately designed it so that Zhao Yixiong and the Ma family met in the back garden, and 'accidentally' they were bumped into by a certain Taoist boy."
"Then you used this to frame the blame and kill Zhao Yixiong and Ma Shi successively together with Liu Yiwei in the name of righteous killing of relatives!"
Having said that, Sun Shaozong suddenly turned his head to the corner and said, "Shen Hongyuan, do you think this official's inference is true?"
After the voice fell for a while, Hongyuan Zhenren turned out from behind the screen and walked to Ma Yizhen step by step.
When Ma Yizhen heard his name, he was already paralyzed. At this moment, he was half lying on the ground, desperately raised his head and said with a trembling voice: "Master... Master."
"How can I be your master?!"
Real Master Hongyuan had a livid face, shook his head and sighed: "It's just right for me to call you Master with such scheming and tactics!"
Saying that, without looking at Ma Yizhen again, he turned his head and bowed to Sun Shaozong: "Sun Shaoqing really deserves the name of Shenjuan!"
This time, it was a little sincere.
The corner of Sun Shaozong's mouth raised slightly, and he said: "The real person has been changed so suddenly, I am afraid that he has already lost his mind. Please go to the guest room to rest for a while. When this official asks the rest of the case, he will definitely give him a complete explanation. !"
Hearing this, Master Hongyuan raised his head, looked at Sun Shaozong silently for a long time, and finally let out a leisurely sigh, then turned around and strode out of the living room.
He should have noticed what Sun Shaozong was going to ask next, but he didn't try to stay and stop him.
This is probably because being played by Ma Yizhen in the bulge, for Hongyuan Zhenren, who has a high self-esteem, it is actually more difficult for him to accept than his wife's derailment and pregnancy.
After the real person Hongyuan left the stage, Sun Shaozong turned his attention to Ma Yizhen, who was slumped on the ground, but just as he was about to speak, Liu Yiwei, who was beside him, suddenly roared: "How dare you lie to me!"
Immediately after he rushed up, the mad dog also bit Ma Yizhen's neck like a mad dog.
When the yamen officers reacted and rushed forward to separate the two, Ma Yizhen had been bitten on the neck with blood.
Fortunately, both of them were tied with their arms. Although Ma Yizhen did not struggle violently, Liu Yiwei still bit off, otherwise he would have killed him!
After that, Liu Yiwei was gagged and tied, and the wound on Ma Yizhen's neck was also treated briefly, and it seemed that there was no serious problem.
It's just that his whole person is dumbfounded, like a piece of rotten wood, and he has no spirit at all.
"Ma Yizhen."
Sun Shaozong said indifferently at this time: "You are dead right now, why don't you admit it quickly?"
Ma Yizhen didn't seem to hear it, and was still there.
Sun Shaozong didn't feel discouraged, and continued: "This case violates human ethics and the law of nature is intolerable. You are a Taoist priest of Tianshifu, and the three characters of Ma Yizhen are destined to be infamous for thousands of years."
"Since your reputation and life can't be preserved, why do you keep hiding it?"
"It should be the last and most proud thing in your life to be able to play with your opponent, lover, junior brother, and master, all of them in applause?!"
"Rather than just being so unclear and bringing the truth of the matter into the underworld, how can you explain everything clearly?"
"Say it all!"
"In this way, in the future, when people mention you Ma Yizhen, although they will still despise and despise you, they will inevitably be amazed at your tricks to hide from the sky and Li Daitao."
Sun Shaozong said this coaxingly and coaxingly, Ma Yizhen finally reacted, and saw him raise his head and grin: "Sir, you have seen through everything, you are right, I, Ma Yizhen, will definitely die, And it will stink forever! But if that's the case, why should I be at your mercy?"
After speaking, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, if your lord wants evidence to identify that person, go to the King of Hell to find him!"
While speaking, he arched his tongue and waited to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
It's just that as soon as he made a move, someone grabbed his cheeks, making it difficult for his upper and lower teeth to close together.
It is self-defeating to say, just now Liu Yiwei clearly wanted to prevent him from recognizing that Hongyuan Zhenren was also involved in the case, so he wanted to kill him to silence him.
But he never thought that this move would make the yamen pay more attention, but instead prevented Ma Yizhen from committing suicide.
"Ugh."
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong also gave up his thoughts of using words to induce confession, sighed helplessly, got up after writing the case and ordered: "Take this person back to Dali Temple, and let Sicheng Yang torture him strictly."
When Chen Jingde heard this, he was taken advantage of by Yang Sicheng again, and his heart was full of reluctance.
It can be seen that Sun Shaozong still has no interest in speaking, and he does not dare to say more, he can only stand up and announce in a cadence: "Retire~!"
