Yamen servants came out from the back Yamen in two columns, and stood on both sides of the room, with boards in their hands, solemn and dignified. Later, the government Yin of the capital came out of the houya, with great prestige.
There was a startling sound, and no one dared to speak.
"Take the prisoner."
But for a few days, Mr. Lin was obviously depressed. He was wearing ragged and dirty prison clothes, his hair was messy and his eyes were lax. Being dragged by the yamen runner, obviously there is no vitality in the body.
Fu Yin is a yell again, let both sides explain the intention.
The steward wept and cried, as if he was deeply in love with his concubine until he died! My concubine has been defiled by this animal. He has killed her! "
Lord Lin turned a deaf ear to the responsibilities of the people next to him. He was still dejected. He hung his head and knelt aside.
Lingxiao bowed to him and said, "Fu Yin, next is master Lin's chief. I will explain the whole story of the incident on behalf of master Lin, and ask for his permission."
"Yes." If it is not necessary, many of the city's nobles will not come out to fight a lawsuit on their own. They all entrust a lawyer to explain it. It's not surprising that Fuyin is used to it.
"I think the steward is a false accusation and frame up!"
Naturally, the steward didn't recognize it. He cried again. He said that master Lin used to grind him with money and always embezzled his salary.
When the magistrate heard that he had a headache, he startled the steward and said, "speak to me well, or you will come down and play again."
The steward was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, saying that he would not say anything irrelevant to the case.
The magistrate asked the master to read out the complaint, the relevant evidence, the prisoner's signed oral statement and so on. Then he asked, "the prisoner may have doubts."
Lingxiao Gongshou comes forward and says methodically, "I have some questions. First, Mr. Lin was not sent home that night by the steward. It may be that the steward sent Mr. Lin to the Inn and put the dead concubine beside him. Second, how can the steward know that master Lin raped and killed his concubine? He can also take the officers and soldiers to the inn to catch them in time. Third, the steward killed the concubine in a hurry, so that there is no evidence that master Lin raped and killed the concubine without an autopsy. "
"Steward, you answered these questions one by one."
The steward was in a panic in the Yamen. Before he was photographed by the magistrate, he was still nervous. He was waiting for a series of questions to be answered. He was a little panicked and lost his mind. He answered the wrong question in his mouth, "it's really Lord Lin who killed my concubine. It's the second innkeeper who has a good relationship with me who told me that, so I went back to catch the traitor. And if so many of us see it, we can't be fake! "
"If you are a person, you may be bribed or threatened to give false evidence. I have reason to think that you collude with many people to falsely accuse them together!" Lingxiao sees that the steward is already in a panic. He immediately presses his whole body on him and stares at the steward.
At this time, a woman rushed in, knelt next to the steward, shouted, and snuck a handful of tender meat between the steward's waist with her hand. "Master Qingtian, you can't let the steward force us and intimidate us constantly because we are not a special one!"
The woman's shrill voice was a little worse than that of the previous governor's cry. The magistrate frowned and clapped three times in succession, "silence! solemn silence! Who are you coming from? Do you allow Hu Tian to scream under the Yamen! "
The Yamen servants standing on both sides also because of the anger of the government Yin, and together with the board to pound the ground, dragged a long voice together called "mighty".
The woman immediately looks like a quail, shrinks at the steward's side, whispers back, "I am the steward's wife, because I am too worried, so she rushes in, and asks the master Qingtian to forgive me."
Although a woman is a little timid and scared, she still looks calm and speaks in a clear and unhurried way.
Lingxiao spirit a shock, behind the scenes leader appeared!
When a woman comes, she seems to have a backbone and speak in a more organized way. "If you don't bury your concubine quickly, won't it still stink and make her die peacefully?"
Lingxiao is not afraid at all, "but you take away the body in such a hurry, or even do not do autopsy. Isn't that the expression of a guilty heart?"
"If you don't have an autopsy, it's my fault?" The steward glanced scornfully at the sky.
But he didn't expect that this sentence was not aimed at Lingxiao, but the people in the Yamen. Because the collection of evidence and other related things are all government affairs. In this way, he would like to ask the Fuyin why your government is so incompetent. Fu Yin's face, which was taut, was even colder. He secretly wrote a note to the steward there.
Lingxiao asked, "since there is no autopsy evidence, how can you say that it was Lord Lin's rape?"
The governor's face was full of anger, shouting, "we have evidence!"
Lingxiao raises the corner of his mouth and says that he also has human evidence.
Fu Yin nodded, "in that case, let the witness come and present the evidence to the official."
There is only one witness in charge, while Lingxiao's Witnesses include innkeeper, coachman, etc. and a package of unknown things wrapped up.First of all, the second one said, "I saw Lord Lin with a woman that night and asked for a room. I think women are like concubines in charge, so I inform them. After that, I'll see you later, that is, the steward and the officers and soldiers will come to arrest you. At that time, the woman was dead. "
Lingxiao goes around Xiaoer once, and her eyes always fall on him. Small two originally knelt on the ground, in the Lingxiao linglie to seem to be able to see through the eyes of the people, but also want to put the head into the seam. At last, Lingxiao stopped in front of the second child and asked a few questions, "how tall is that concubine? How do you look? "
Little two hesitated for a few times, his eyes had been drifting around, and his eyes frequently turned to the couple in charge. But the couple did not dare to talk, so they had to make it up by themselves, "maybe a head shorter than master Lin, it looks very thin."
Lingxiao sneers, "are you sure?"
"I'm sure Come on. " Little two had to force himself to nod his head, pretending that he knew it well.
"In fact, my concubine is as tall as master Lin! And concubine belongs to plump remind, where can be very thin Ling Xiao has investigated several important people in the case for a long time, including their appearance, posture, family relationship, etc., and has always kept in mind that "steward, am I right?"
The steward's forehead was full of cold sweat, and his palm was wet. "It's understandable that the waiter was wrong this evening."
"But since the second child can recognize your concubine and report it to you, he must know your concubine's appearance well!" Lingxiao presses on step by step, seizes the loophole of their speech, and is ready to push them into the dead corner so that they cannot turn over.
