Chapter 47: The Prefect Yamen Comes for Public Trial
() After struggling all night, the Hong family and his son were finally captured. Of course, such a huge battle naturally caused panic in the inn.
After explaining everything, the people in the inn were able to calm down, and Zhengyao and others also led the Hong family and his son back to the prefect's Yamen.
Early the next morning, Zhengyao and others woke up, and after hurriedly eating breakfast, they directly brought Hong and his son to the court for interrogation.
Such a large battle naturally attracted many people to watch.
However, when they saw the body of Doctor Ye lying in the hall, and the Hong family and their son were wearing shackles and iron chains around their necks, hands and feet, the discussion was like a torrent, and it was out of control.
Yesterday, we all saw Dr. Ye standing in the courtroom full of energy and vigorously testifying that Zhengyao was the murderer of his son. Unexpectedly, just one day later, he himself died, which made people feel somewhat surprised and dissatisfied.
untie.
As for the Hong family and his son, it is even more difficult to understand. In the battle in front of them, could it be that the Hong family and his son killed Divine Doctor Ye?...
Naturally, there were also people who stayed at the Yunlai Inn last night among the crowd. After hearing some curious comments from others, they proudly told what they saw, heard and felt last night, and couldn't help but think again.
Let everyone be surprised.
It seems that something big happened last night. It was so thrilling that I missed it. It was a pity.
At this moment, there was indeed silence in the hall. Zhengyao, Ning'an, An Boqin and others sat down on the left side of the court to listen. On the right, there were Zhang Cheng, Yuan Haiyun, Feng Bao, Liang Yu and others.
Everyone looked at Hong and his son with stern expressions, with no special expressions on their faces. The atmosphere at the scene also seemed relatively stiff.
The person sitting upright in the hall was naturally Chu Side. He seemed a bit submissive at first. But after Ning'an gave him a look, he suddenly slapped the gavel, instantly breaking this stiff and oppressive environment.
"when!"
"Hong Dizhen, Hong Ding! Now you two have become prisoners. I am now conducting a trial on the deaths of Ye Ying and Ye Dabao!"
Hong Dizhen said with dignity, now that this case falls on her head, no matter what, she should resolve the relevant matters quickly and properly in front of the princess's consort. Only if it is done well, will there be a good impression.
, it will be helpful for your future career.
After filming the Jail, the surroundings suddenly became quiet again. After Chu Side cleared his throat, he said: "Hong Dizhen, I would like to ask you now, Ye Ying, was the death of Ye Dabao planned by your father and son? The purpose
Where are you? Are there any accomplices behind you? Tell us everything you know quickly!"
"mighty"
As soon as Chu Side finished speaking, two rows of yamen officials kept banging their imperial staffs. Once the official power was displayed, it really had a shocking effect.
It's just that Hong Dizhen has also seen big winds and waves. It's absolutely impossible to frighten him with this little trick.
But Hong Dizhen smiled disinterestedly, and then puffed out her chest and said: "Master Chu, I don't even know what you are talking about. What about the death of Ye Ying, the death of Ye Dabao, and the mastermind behind it?
I don’t understand! If you think I’m guilty, please provide evidence and stop wasting everyone’s time here!”
I originally thought that after last night's incident and the successful arrest of Hong and his son, these two cases were settled. For Chu Side, it was more or less a credit.
But who would have thought that in this court, Hong Dizhen would deny it and deny it at all. This made Chu Side feel like a dog biting a hedgehog and he couldn't say anything!
"Hello Hong Dizhen! How dare you despise the court like this! Come here! Give me twenty big sticks!"
It was as if Hong Dizhen didn't take Chu Side into consideration at all, which made Chu Side instantly frown in anger, and his tightly bulging cheeks seemed to indicate that he now wanted to eat people.
How could a magistrate like him not be angry that he was not given any face in front of the princess, the consort, and so many people?
As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped the gavel again, with such momentum that even Yuan Haiyun and others sitting nearby twitched inadvertently.
"Ahem! Mr. Chu, don't be so hasty yet! Let me do it!"
Zheng Yao immediately stood up, stopped the Yamen official who was about to execute him, and then looked at Chu Side and said.
As for Zhengyao, he has always not advocated using torture to extract confessions in trials, because even if he asks for a reason, it does not necessarily mean that the result is true!
After all, there are too few tough guys like those shown in TV series and movies who can't be beaten to death and won't say anything about being beaten.
"Haha, since the prince-in-law has spoken, then all you have to do is follow the prince-in-law's arrangements and your subordinates can do as they please!"
Chu Side smiled awkwardly and then stopped talking.
"Hmph! Don't think that you will say anything when you come to interrogate me. I will still say what I said, if there is evidence, I will be punished. Don't try to trick me here!"
Hong Dizhen didn't buy anyone's story. Even though Zhengyao had learned a lot of things from him last night, judging from his performance at the moment, it was as if nothing happened at all last night.
I have to say that Hong Dizhen's disguise ability is really strong, and her adaptability is not weak at all. It seems that Zhengyao has met his opponent this time.
"Haha! Really?" However, Zhengyao didn't seem to be affected by what Hong Dizhen said. He still had a relaxed look on his face, glanced at Hong Dizhen interestingly, and then continued: "Mr. Hong, you don't need to worry.
Everyone is tacitly aware of this case, and the more you say so, the more selfless and selfless you become."
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Okay! Then let me explain it clearly! Why did you father and son appear in the wing where Ye Dabao lived in Yunlai Inn last night? Why did Ye Dabao die next to you? I think you should understand this.
Give me a reasonable explanation!"
As he said that, Zhengyao's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. The relaxed and comfortable expression before was gone, replaced by seriousness and fierceness.
"I admit that we, father and son, went to see Doctor Ye last night, but we just wanted to discuss some important matters and had no other intentions! And the death of Doctor Ye had nothing to do with us, because when we entered the house,
Doctor Ye is already dead. I originally wanted to see how Doctor Ye died, but you guys rushed in at this time."
Hong Dizhen said with a resentful look. Looking at his expression and listening to his tone, it seemed that that was really the case.
It's okay for a person to lie, but if a person can tell a lie without blinking an eye, and what he says is more certain than the truth, then it can only be said that this person's disguise and adaptability are too strong.
"Ridiculous! Wearing night clothes and walking on the roof in the middle of the night, are you going to discuss things with someone? Do you think everyone present is a fool?"
Chu Side couldn't hold back his anger and cursed angrily again.
In the past, Hong Dizhen had a pretty good impression on Chu Side. She paid taxes on time and donated some money from time to time to help the victims. In Chu Side's eyes, Hong Dizhen seemed to be a wealthy businessman with good intentions. If it weren't for this incident,
I believe that he has always been kept in the dark by the well-hidden Hong Dizhen.
"I like it. This is the habit of our father and son, isn't it?"
Hong Dizhen said nonchalantly, as if she had a point.
Zhengyao shook his head again and said: "Mr. Hong, you don't have to deny it. We have examined Ye Dabao's body before and found that there was only a deep palm print on his chest. After examination, it was already
It is certain that Ye Dabao died under this palm. I also secretly compared your fingerprints last night, and the results were exactly the same. This can fully prove that you are the murderer of Ye Dabao!
In addition, I have been secretly tracking you yesterday. From the time you entered Ye Dabao's bedroom to the time you were captured by us, no one else came in or out of Ye Dabao's room at all. This can also prove that you and your father are
The real murderer!"
Zhengyao is not in vain. Although most of what he said last night was his own conjecture, which was unfounded and could not be used as evidence. However, in fact, Zhengyao actually had some evidence, but he did not present it.
I just took it out at that time.
Now listen to what Zhengyao said, the evidence is conclusive, and Hong Dizhen may not be able to deny it!
"Li Zhengyao, you are really good! I thought you were just making guesses out of thin air, but I didn't expect you to be able to master these so-called evidences. I'm in trouble this time!"
Having reached this point, Hong Dizhen had no intention of denying it anymore, so she sighed, looked at Zhengyao with admiring eyes and said.
Perhaps in terms of identity, Zhengyao and Hong Dizhen are absolutely opposite, but if these are put aside, Hong Dizhen actually admires Zhengyao very much. If possible, he is even willing to make friends with Zhengyao. After all, smart people are all
Very popular and loved by everyone.
"It goes without saying that Ye Ying's death happened earlier! It must have been the fault of your master, Hong Ding?"
"Now that we've reached this point, there's no point in hiding it, that's all! You're right, Ye Ying's death was indeed the fault of my son."
In fact, after being caught, Hong Dizhen already knew that she was a lamb to be slaughtered, and sooner or later she would tell everything. Therefore, she confessed her crime so freely and straightforwardly now.
Of course, in Hong Dizhen's mind, there is actually another idea. The reason for this is entirely because of the so-called "Palace Master", because the Palace Master can really do anything, and he firmly believes that the Palace Master can save their father and son.
"Very good! In that case, Mr. Hong will tell you how he killed these two people. This way, the case can be settled as soon as possible."
Although Zhengyao already knew the reasons for this, he still had to tell the prisoner himself, so this opportunity was left to the Hong family and his son.
Listening to the words of Zhengyao and Hong Dizhen, and watching what happened in the courtroom, not only the onlookers, but also people like Ning'an An Borqin also subconsciously braced themselves, wondering why they wanted to kill people.
