Chapter 1098 It's so ridiculous to judge the case like this
Twelve suspects, based on the existing clues and evidence, it is impossible to determine who is the criminal, and it is impossible to exclude them further.
What can I do?
Simple, Zhu Pingan gave the answer and brought all of them back to the Yamen.
Soon, all twelve suspects were brought back to the Yamen by Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and other Yamen servants, and they were promoted to interrogate the serial theft case.
"What, Xiaoxian Zun brought back twelve suspects?! There are butchers, neighbors, and passing merchants. What kind of trouble is Xiaoxian Zun doing?! There is no trial like this, isn't this a joke?! "
"Twelve people were arrested without proof, isn't this nonsense!"
"Xiao Xianzun wants to solve the case quickly, is he crazy?! How can he convince the public by spreading the net, arresting people randomly, and judging the case blindly?! Does he deserve the words 'Ming Jing Gao Hang' behind the lobby?! Such a county Zun, I am not responsible to Daming at all, I am not responsible to the common people at all, and I am not responsible to the law at all.”
"This is really a joke in the world. Twelve suspects were kidnapped in five petty theft cases?! Since the opening of the Jingnan County Government, I have never heard of a case involving twelve suspects. ! Moreover, the twelve suspects are fine, and they are not tried separately, but they are going to be interrogated together?! Does he know how to interrogate cases!"
Zhang Xiancheng and others received the notice of Zhu Ping'an's promotion, and when they heard that twelve suspects would be tried together, they were all stunned and couldn't believe their ears. They found it extremely ridiculous.
"Hehe, at the beginning, I just wanted to cause trouble for Xiaoxian Zun, so as to save him from being uneasy, but I didn't expect that the effect was far greater than expected. Xiaoxian Zun was greedy for merit, and in order to solve the case quickly, he went into a daze, arrested people randomly, and repeatedly Twelve suspects have been arrested, and they are going to be interrogated in the lobby. Hehe, Xiao Xianzun is young after all, and he is prone to enthusiasm, but he does not know that haste makes waste, and haste will cure the symptoms, and slowness will cure the root cause. Now, let us Let's wait and see how the Xiaoxian Zun ends up. Hehe, when the time comes, let's let the wind out and help the Xiaoxian Zun do a good job of 'propaganda', so that the people in the county can hear the "great achievements" of the Xiaoxian Zun..."
When Master Yao rushed to the court together with Zhang Xiancheng, he couldn't help laughing, and whispered to Zhang Xiancheng.
"Hehe, great kindness."
Zhang Xiancheng smiled and nodded repeatedly.
On the way, the servants of the sixth house saw the two of them, and they stepped forward to salute enthusiastically, walked behind them, and rushed to the lobby together.
The bright mirror hangs high, Zhu Ping'an is sitting in the lobby of the county magistrate's office, Zhang Xiancheng and Yao Zhuzhu are gloating in their hearts, but they still do it well on the surface, and they bow with Zhu Ping'an, sitting at the bottom, the clerk, and the six servants salute in turn, Sit in two rows under the hall.
This is the hall of promotion, and the officials and servants of the sixth house and three shifts must gather together to arrange the office; if it is the second hall, only the clerks on duty and the servants of the contract can participate, and other irrelevant subordinates do not need to participate, which is equivalent to the modern court. Simple program.
"Ascension! Beat the drums and bring the suspect to court."
Zhu Ping'an saw that everyone was present, nodded slightly, and slapped the gavel.
The yamen servant beat the drum vigorously, and at the same time as the drum sounded, he brought twelve suspects into the lobby.
"Mighty!"
Two rows of yamen servants stood neatly on both sides of the lobby, beating the water and fire sticks vigorously, shouting mighty.
The mirror hangs high above the hall, and the plaques of "Avoidance" and "Quietness" are treed under the hall. The county magistrate is dressed in official uniform and has a serious face. The sound of the stick hitting the ground and the mighty sound resounded in my ears...
The suspects are all ordinary people in the city. Where have they seen such a scene? They all knelt on the ground nervously to meet them.
"Three months ago, a cow was stolen from Zhang Erniu's house in Dazhang Village, a pig was stolen from Zhang Daquan's house, two sheep were stolen from Li Datou's house; a donkey was stolen from Zhang Ernuo's house in Miaozhuang Village, and a donkey was stolen from Liu Laoshi's house. Five chickens. Whoever you are waiting for is a thief, admit it quickly, and I can give you a lighter sentence; if not, deal with it severely."
Zhu Pingan patted the gavel in the lobby, and spoke gently to the twelve suspects in the hall.
Hey, the magistrate is quite gentle.
The twelve suspects in the hall seemed to be in a strict hell. Their nervous and apprehensive mood suddenly relaxed a little, and they all opened their mouths to cry for grievances.
"The county magistrate, the small one is wronged, the small one is a butcher in duty in the village, and has nothing to do with the theft case. The county magistrate can go and inquire about it, and everyone in the village knows that the small one sells meat for real. , I have never been short of money, let alone stealing, the county magistrate is very careful."
"Master Zhixian, I am wronged. I am just a neighbor of Zhang Erniu's family, not some cattle thief, I am wronged..."
"Master Mingzhi, the county magistrate, the little one is just a street seller, the little one is wronged..."
…
The twelve suspects in the hall shouted their grievances one after another, but none of them admitted it. You talked to each other, making the lobby look like a vegetable market.
Zhang Xiancheng and Master Yao looked at each other, with a thick sneer on the corner of their mouths. In their view, Zhu Ping's way of handling the case is simply a joke. Do you think that this is Mr. Jiang's fishing wish?
"Leniency for confession, strictness for resistance, I will give you time to think again... Zhang Dianli brought the file of Wang Tian's wounding case with this official, there is no need to sort it out..."
Zhu Pingan looked at the suspects in the hall, spoke slowly, then ignored them, and turned his head to Zhang Danian, the magistrate of the punishment room.
"Yes. Your Excellency the county."
Zhang Danian wanted to prevaricate on the grounds that the files were messy and unorganized, but Zhu Ping'an's sentence "no need to sort out" blocked his reason for refusal in advance. The dossier was lost in the custody of the former magistrate as an excuse, so he opened his mouth and agreed.
Soon, Zhang Danian fetched the file of Wang Tian's wounding case, and Zhu Pingan carefully read it in the lobby.
Zhu Ping'an was immediately immersed in Wang Tian's wounding case, and seemed to have forgotten the twelve suspects in the hall, and ignored them.
The suspects just knelt in the hall, looking at each other.
Boss Yao and Prime Minister Zhang County looked at each other with ridicule all over their faces, they were already powerless to complain about Zhu Pingan. Let the suspects confess, and if the suspects don't admit it, give them time to think about it, and study other cases by yourself? ! Zhu Pingan's way of interrogating and solving the case is simply an idiot! Skate the jokes of the world!
Isn’t Xian Zun stupid when reading books? ! The whole person lives in the book! If you let the suspect confess, they will admit it? !
The subordinate officials of the sixth house were also speechless about Zhu Pingan's way of handling cases.
Zhu Ping'an interrogated in this way, and all the suspects had no pressure, kneeling on the ground, feeling more and more relaxed.
Half an hour passed.
An hour passed.
…
Finally, Zhu Pingan finished researching Wang Tian's wounding case, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and finally remembered the suspects kneeling in the hall, rubbed his forehead, and said wearily to the suspects in the hall, "Forget it, you go back for now."
ha? !
The corners of Zhang Xiancheng and Master Yao's mouths almost twitched when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but laugh.
All the subordinate staff were also unable to complain.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhixian."
The twelve suspects in the hall were completely relaxed. They got up one after another, thanked Zhu Pingan, and prepared to go home.
Just when the suspects got up to thank Zhu Pingan, Zhu Pingan in the lobby suddenly became furious, stretched out his hand and slapped the gavel, and shouted at the suspects, "Thieves dare to get up and leave!"
"what!"
When one of the twelve suspects heard this, he knelt down on his knees with his legs trembling with a plop.
