Seeing this, the scribe exchanged a look with Master Zhang, who said, "my Lord, the prisoner fainted. If you wake up for retrial!"
Bao Zheng raised his hand and said, "well, she won't recognize the beating. She can't ask anything when she wakes up. Let's wait for her to have a rest!"
Bao Zheng then asked Zhang Shuli, "tell me about Zhang Xiaofu again!"
"My Lord, Zhang Xiaofu is a member of Sihui. He started quarrying last year. A few days ago, when he was quarrying in Laokeng, he ran out. I took people to search around and found out that he was hiding in the grass shed. That day, I took people to chase him. I didn't want to see him killed by the prisoner. The next official saw that the inkstone workers were not good, which made him escape and lead to murder. The next official also had to bear the responsibility and asked the Lord to help Zhang Xiao Fu, if you are just, let me have an account with the imperial court as soon as possible! "
Because Qin Yan reminded Zhang Shuli that his official rank was different that day, Zhang Shuli spoke respectfully to Lord Bao today, but the meaning of the words did not change. He was urging Bao Zheng to sentence Hua Ni to death as soon as possible!
Bao Zheng frowned, but Zhang Shuli urged him, "my Lord, not long after you took office, something happened to the inkstone workers. The imperial court has always paid a lot of attention to Duanzhou Gongyan. If you don't close the case as soon as possible, I'm afraid it's not good for you!"
This is a reminder, but also a threat!
Duanzhou is a poor place, and it's not easy to make achievements. Therefore, it's a place that people don't like to come to. People's livelihood is poor, and it's not rich, and there's no money to get. Bao Zheng was sent here. To put it bluntly, he didn't mix well, so he got such a hard bone.
Duanzhou was originally the most concerned by the imperial court, but now he just came here and died. If he can't do it well, the imperial court will probably detain a charge of ineffective supervision.
At this time, Bao Zheng was not as powerful as Kaifeng's official. He had three imperial guillotines, three imperial swords, Gongsun CE, and Zhanzhao. He was not as powerful as others. He was not as powerful as the imperial court. He had ambition, but he couldn't fight hard!
The so-called hard easy to break is this truth!
If you want to plead for the people and redress their grievances, you can, but first you have to learn to preserve yourself. If you can't even preserve yourself, how can you talk about serving the people?
In fact, Bao Zheng is so honest and upright. He has been in the officialdom for so many years and has not been killed by treacherous officials. In fact, he does not rely on a pair of hard bones. He also has his way of being an official and his tactful side!
But that's a long way to go. At the moment, Zhang Shuli put pressure on Bao Zheng. Of course, Bao Zheng didn't want to. Hua Ni was beaten like this, but she refused to admit that she had killed someone. However, at present, there is no favorable evidence or new discovery!
Just thinking about it, Qin Yan arched his hand to come forward, "my Lord, Xiaomin has something to say."
But Zhang Shuli stopped him and said, "if it's before, you don't have to say it. What you said is useless. Besides, you can't believe what you said just because of your relationship with the criminal wife!"
But Qin Yan took the first two steps, "Lord Bao, Xiaomin has a new discovery, which can prove that the murderer is someone else!"
On hearing this, Bao Zheng certainly wanted to listen, "you say it!"
"Mr. Bao, the scribe said that Zhang Xiaofu was quarrying in Laokeng before the crime, and he also told my wife that he had two inkstones with him when he ran away. It was at the time of the crime that he found two of them!"
Zhang Shuli sneered sarcastically, "what can this explain?"
"My Lord, Xiaomin used to be in the ink workshop of the Qin family, and he did a lot of research on inkstones. These two inkstones are not from Laokeng, but from jiangjunkeng!"
When Qin Yan said this, people were in an uproar!
Bao Zheng was shocked and said, "be quiet!"
Qin Yan then said, "if we say that Zhang Xiaofu is carrying Laokeng stone, but he is carrying jiangjunkeng stone. First of all, it looks like my wife did it, but it's too coincidental. This Zhang Xiaofu fled for a few days, and he was in Duanzhou. Zhang Shuli couldn't find it for a few days, but my wife just ran after him, The man died. This is Zhang Shuli. He showed up with people and caught the murderer. Then my wife was caught on the spot! My Lord, it's a coincidence! "
Zhang Shuli's face changed, but he sneered again No matter how much you say, you can't prove that there is another murderer! "
Qin Yan ignored him and said, "my Lord, it's not known whether Zhang Xiaofu ran away with the inkstones privately. However, the two inkstones in his general pit are old stones mined two years ago. These old stones are only in stock in some ink shops. If you find this ink shop, you can find the murderer!"
After hearing this, Bao Zheng pondered What do you mean
"My Lord, Xiaomin dares to assume that someone deliberately framed my wife and led her into the bureau with inkstones. If you find out the source of inkstones, you can find the real murderer!"
Bao Zheng pondered and said nothing, but Zhang Shuli was worried. "If you say there is a murderer setting up a bureau, there will be a murderer setting up a bureau. This is just your hypothesis!"
"The grown-up said that my wife killed people for inkstones. It's also an assumption. You rushed there at that time. Who witnessed my wife's murder?"
Zhang Shuli choked. Qin Yan took advantage of the situation and said, "since it's all hypothetical, why can you assume that I can't? The calligrapher kept saying that Zhang Xiaofu fled with his inkstone, but how do you explain that he had the old stone from the general pit two years agoZhang Shuli was asked again and could not speak. He held back for a long time before he said, "do you think it's a general or a general pit? You say old stone is old stone? "
Zhang Shuli was a bit of a fuss. Qin Yan didn't plead with him, "my Lord has been supervising Duan Inkstone for a long time. I think kengshi must be very experienced in distinguishing. General kengshi has an obvious Venus point. You can't be unaware of it. If you think what I said is wrong, you can ask the four masters of Zhaopin inkstone hall to find out! The fineness and pattern of new stone and old stone are different. You can see the clue just by putting them together! "
When Qin Yan said this, Bao Zheng took Zhang long and inkstone to Pinyan hall for identification.
Pinyantang is a non-governmental organization, similar to the writers' Association. It is equal to the folk experts who have research on duanyantang. Together, they will organize some activities about duanyantang.
They are also influential. What they say is naturally credible!
Zhang Long went back, as Qin Yan said.
At the moment, Zhang Shuli said, "even if he had inkstone of general pit, it doesn't mean anything. Maybe he didn't know where he got inkstone of general pit, and the criminal woman saw it, so the criminal woman was moved to kill him!"
Qin Yan smiles a little, and now he has some confidence. "It's good that the calligrapher is willing to admit that there is something wrong with the inkstone. Zhang Xiaofu is hungry and wants to rob baozi. Why don't he know how to exchange the inkstone for money, but he has to rob my mother's Baozi and send her to me for help. If it's not designed, then it's very unusual!"
Seeing that Bao Zheng nodded, Qin inkstone arched his hand, "my Lord, please thoroughly investigate the ink workshops in Duanzhou. As long as you find the person who bought two inkstones, you can find the real murderer!"
Qin Yan finished and looked at Hua Ni.
Hua Ni was lying on the ground. She didn't know when she woke up. She gasped in pain, so that she couldn't hear what Qin Yan said clearly. All she heard was that Qin Yan's voice was clear and clear, and every sentence was reasonable. The debating clerical had nothing to say.
Hua Ni bit her teeth and went back to her head in pain. She touched Qin Yan's eyes.
His eyes were warm, but firm, smiling and nodding to her with soothing power.
Hua Ni nodded with tears, wanted to cry and laugh.
She wants to have such a clever master Bao and such a clever Qin Yan. If they join hands, she will be fine!
