Chapter 40: Irrefutable Evidence

"Stop and put that woman down!"

However, the man and woman carrying a bamboo cage were walking through the streets valiant and spirited. Suddenly heard this big roar, some stood still, some still moved forward according to the inertia, and others retreated in panic. The whole team was in a mess.

Some stepped on their feet, bumped their hips, touched their breast, and shouted and scolded each other. It was like boiling a pot of water. On the contrary, Sun Shaozong, the initiator of the precedent, was left unattended.

Among these many people, naturally, there was the leader with clear eyes and eyebrows. Seeing Sun Shaozong sitting in the crotch of a carriage and surrounded by nannies and healthy servants, he knows that he was not a man without an identity.

So one of the half-hundred old men hurriedly shouted, "Don't make any noise, just be quiet!"

The old man should have some prestige in the neighborhood. As soon as he shouted, the men and women behind him gradually became quiet.

When the chaos behind him was completely suppressed, the old man came up to the carriage, and with a flattering arched hand and sloping shoulders, he asked, "Sir, what’s the matter for stopping us, is there anything I can help?"

It sounds like he has been educated for several years.

Sun Shaozong just jumped out of the carriage at this time. His iron tower-like body immediately frightened the crowd.

He stared at the old man condescendingly with an eagle-like look and said with a sneer, "In this board daylight as bright as sun and moon. How dare you set up a private court to disregard human life? Do you think there is no royal law?"

Although the old man had some insight, how could he stand Sun Shaozong's oppressive eyes?

He couldn’t say that his spine was soft, and his body was like a bow shrimp. He was obsequious and couldn't even say a word.

However, someone in the back objected angrily and said, "What's acting with utter disregard for human life? We caught together with the loot! This evil woman murders her husband. Shouldn't she invade in the pig cage?"

As soon as these words came out, it immediately boosted the morale of the opposite side, and immediately several people shrank in the crowd and shouted in strange voices, "Yes, we had caught together with the loot!"

"Murder pays for life, not to mention that the vicious woman murdered her husband!"

"Who do you think you are, why should you care about our private affairs?"

In feudal society, clan lynchings and national laws could be said to go hand in hand. In particular, such cases within families were often handled by the people themselves without being reported by the government. As long as no one claims after the event, the local government often ignores them.

It was for this reason that they dare to make such a forceful clamor.

He was attacked by all these talking at once when Sun Shaozong was about to say something, his horse-keeper had already flashed out. He waved a whip and shouted, "My master is the Assistant Prefectural Magistrate of the Central Judicial Office. These nobodies dare to lynch in front of him. Is it possible that you guys want to revolt?"

With this scolding, dozens of people across the street suddenly became silent. On the long street, they only heard the woman in the bamboo cage grunting.

After a moment, the old man who took the lead asked with a trembling voice, "Mas... Are you the master of the ”Divine Judgement of the Assistant Prefectural Magistrate Sun?”

It turned out that the man's name was Zhang Dalong, and the dead Zhang Erhu was his biological brother of the same mother.

The two brothers live in the same alley, only separated by a low wall.

Last year, Zhang Erhu went out with the firm and was away from home for more than half a year. His wife, Li, took the opportunity to hook up with others without being able to prove any innocence, thus creating lots of rumors.

Zhang Erhu naturally refused to let the matter drop after returning home. Therefore, the couple has often fought at home in recent months.

In the evening, Zhang Dalong had nothing to do. He was chatting with his mother-in-law on the Kang. Then he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the next room. Because Zhang Erhu and his wife had been quarreling many times, the more they were persuaded, the more serious the quarrel became. They were too lazy to persuade.

It didn't take long for the next room to stop the fight, so Zhang Dalong and his wife didn’t take it seriously.

Who knows, just at that moment, there was a sudden shrill scream from the next door, and then there was the sound of rushing through the door!

Zhang Dalong and his wife were shocked. He hurried out with his clothes and rushed to the door, only to see Zhang Erhu's wife, Li, running in the alley with his hands full of blood.

Zhang Dalong stops Li and asked what happened. Li says that Zhang Erhu was killed. She was going to catch the real murderer!

Zhang Dalong hurried to the next door. Sure enough, he found his brother lying in the yard with a pointed kitchen knife in his heart!

At this point, Zhang Dalong stopped stuttering and angrily raised his head, "This evil woman is the only one in the alley. Where is the real murderer?! Besides, I heard her quarreling and fighting with Erhu. That kitchen knife is also something she used to use. It is clear that this evil woman was angry and used her hand to kill my brother and wanted to frame the blame on others!"

The leading old man also said, "Master, Li kept saying that someone else killed him, but she couldn't tell whether the murderer was a man or a woman. This was not prevarication, what else could it be?"

This sounds a bit like irrefutable evidence.

But remembering that Li was unwilling, did not give in, and glared around, Sun Shaozong felt that she didn't look like the person who had just killed her husband.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, the woman was taken out of the bamboo cage and put to one side.

"Master, Master! I was wronged!"

As soon as the towel in Li's mouth was taken off, she desperately looked up and shouted that she had been wronged.

Hearing the speech, Sun Shaozong was inspired and hurriedly asked, "What grievances do you have? Quickly tell me!"

But the woman replied, "I didn't have an affair, I really didn't have an affair! It was all framed by others!"

Speechless...

It seems that this woman was also a person who didn’t care about anything. With the current situation, she’s still tangled up in the reputation of having an affair? Wasn’t the most important thing to prove that you didn't murder your husband first?!
