Chapter 292 Let professionals do professional things

For professional matters, let the professionals do it.

Daoran has been reading Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, not criminal investigation. Although the so-called evidence of these people seems to be false to him, it is not that easy to solve it if it is left to Daoran to explain it himself.

After all, the people who were able to concoct this evidence spent a lot of thought, and it cannot be solved in just a few words.

Fortunately, Daoran has many friends.

The name Bao Zheng already carries considerable weight in the capital.

When the charcoal-faced scholar appeared in the courtroom, most of the plaintiffs opposite him trembled.

Bao Zheng's official position was much lower than that of Salisu, so he bowed his hands and said, "I am the next official, Bao Zheng, your lord, the commanding officer."

Sha Lishu naturally knew Bao Zheng's reputation. Sensing that the situation was inappropriate, he said to him: "You are the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture. You should stay out of the matter and remain neutral."

"Your Majesty, Commander, there is no need to worry. I have already obtained the consent of Mr. Fu Yin. Today I am in court to prove my friend's innocence. I am not joining the case as a judge. I will not violate the law."

When it comes to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Sha Lishu is certainly not as familiar as Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng stood here so confidently, and Sha Li Shu did not bother with the issue of rationality. Although Bao Zheng is famous, but now there is irrefutable evidence, he

I don’t believe that Bao Zheng can easily help Daoran escape the crime.

Dao Ran, on the other hand, completely believed in Bao Zheng and simply shut his mouth and stood aside.

Bao Zheng was not polite and immediately got into the mood and said to Sha Lishu: "Master Commander, please allow me to take a look at these physical evidences first?"

This was naturally a reasonable request, so Sha Lishu asked Bao Zheng to review the evidence in court.

Time in the courtroom began to slow down. Only Bao Zheng looked through the evidence leisurely, while the others could only wait anxiously.

It didn't take long before some people couldn't stand it.

The merchant who sued Daoran for bullying and dominating the market said to Sha Lishu: "Master Commander, if this continues, when will the end be? We can't keep so many of us waiting."

Sha Lishu nodded and said, "Yes, Judge Bao, when do you want to see it?"

Bao Zheng closed the account book in his hand and said to Sha Lishu: "Reporting to your lord, I just finished reading."

"Do you have any objections?" Salisu asked.

"Xiaguan doesn't know how to calculate accounts, so he can't see any loopholes in the book numbers. But Xiaguan heard that this account book was stolen from the Qiandenghe Chamber of Commerce..."

Before Bao Zheng finished speaking, Sha Lishu quickly said: "It's not stealing, it's because someone couldn't stand Master Daoran's bullying and domination, so he took out the Qiandenghe Chamber of Commerce's account book, hoping that someone could uphold justice."

Although Sha Lishu was not very familiar with the laws of Dazhou, he still made up some basic knowledge for today's case.

Whether stolen evidence can be admitted is an issue that can be debated for days. There is no clear limit in Dazhou law. Many cases are willing to admit the evidence, while many others treat it as stolen goods and refuse to admit it.

Sha Lishu did not want Bao Zheng to dwell on this mistake and delay the lawsuit indefinitely.

But Bao Zheng didn't seem to be bothered by this issue at all, but said with a smile: "I don't care whether this account book was stolen or not. As long as the accounts recorded on it are true, it can be used as evidence."

Sha Lishu said in surprise: "Then you have admitted what is recorded in this account book?"

I thought that Bao Zheng would be so difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that he would fall into a trap so quickly. The data on the account book was perfect. Although the account book was fake, whether it was the handwriting or the paper used in the account book, it was all done by the insider according to Qian Deng's instructions.

The account books of the He Chamber of Commerce were forged exactly the same.

Not to mention that Bao Zheng only watched it for such a short time, even if the president of Qiandenghe Chamber of Commerce came, he would not be able to tell anything wrong.

Unexpectedly, Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "On the contrary, I think this account book is forged."

The merchant quickly shouted that he was wronged and said that Bao Zheng had confused right and wrong in order to protect Daoran.

Sha Lishu already sensed that something was wrong, and frowned and asked: "Judge Bao, do you have any evidence for saying that?"

Bao Zheng said confidently: "It's very simple, because this account book uses Chengxin ink, which is very common in the capital. This kind of ink has a characteristic. When it is first used, it will be a little bluish, but as time goes by, it will slowly fade away.

Darkens to black. Generally, every month, you can clearly see the color change of the writing.

"This account book records the accounts for more than half a year. The dates are clear, but why are all the writing the same color? Obviously, someone forged the account books, so they compiled all the accounts for more than half a year in a short period of time.

accounts, so the handwriting does not appear to have a noticeable color change."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he sent the account book to Sha Lishu.

Sha Li Shu looked through it, and sure enough, most of the writing was slightly blue, but the color was very inconspicuous. As a practitioner, Sha Li Shu had very good eyesight, but without Bao Zheng's reminder, he didn't even notice this.

Indigo hidden in inky black.

Sha Lishu didn't even bother to go find someone to verify whether Cheng Xinmo had such characteristics. If Bao Zheng could be so sure about the so-called shadow of a famous tree, then he would probably be right.

Sha Lishu threw the account book in front of the merchant and asked loudly: "Why are the handwriting on this account book the same? Is it a forged account book by you?"

The merchant's legs suddenly trembled, and he could not speak.

The account book is fake, but your presiding officer should also know it. Hasn't there been any big shot who has been angry with you before?

Now that it has been exposed, should I be the scapegoat?

Just when the merchant was about to open his mouth and hug the sari tree together to die, Dao Ran suddenly said: "Amitabha, I think this donor was also deceived by others. The person who gave you the account book wanted to frame me, so he took the fake goods.

I lied to you."

The merchant looked at Dao Ran in shock, never expecting that Dao Ran would open his mouth to help him get away with the crime.

He brought fake accounts to frame him, but Dao Ran not only didn't blame him, but also spoke for him?

What kind of compassion is this?

Damn it, I’m really not a human being, why would I frame such an eminent monk?

The merchant looked at Dao Ran's face and couldn't help but burst into tears. He choked and said, "Yes... the holy monk is right... I... I was also deceived..."

At the end of the sentence, he felt so intensely ashamed that he couldn't help crying.

Sha Lishu was also quite surprised. He didn't understand why Dao Ran wanted to save the vendor, but since he could find the steps, he might as well be a favor.

"Since you have been deceived, you must confess the falsifier and help Beidouwei catch him. We must not let such people who spread rumors and cause trouble go unpunished."

Sha Lishu's words made the vendor feel relieved. All he had to do was make up a non-existent person, and the responsibility would be completely eliminated.

After solving one of the charges, Bao Zheng picked up the second piece of evidence. It was the "anonymous letter" written by the Huafang girl, accusing Dao Ran of being lustful and abusing them.

A scholar who claimed to be in love with a certain boat girl, but was beaten by Dao Ran, sent this anonymous letter to the court.

At this time, when he saw Bao Zheng picking up the anonymous letter, the scholar couldn't help but tremble. Of course the letter was fake. He did have some entanglements with a girl from Huafang, but he was attracted by the net worth of these girls.

Originally, they were about to get it, and many Huafang girls wanted to become good friends immediately. But their reputation was not very good, so the girl actually rejected the scholar after being persuaded by other sisters.

The scholar has long harbored a grudge, but he has never been able to retaliate. A few days ago, someone came to his door and asked him to falsely accuse Daoran, saying that as long as the matter was successful, he would choose any girl from Qiandenghe, and he would be guaranteed to get both money and wealth.

Hearing such a promise, he agreed without hesitation.

So what if you slander a monk? How could you, a holy monk, kill me on the spot?

With this thought in mind, the scholar came to the court.

What happened to the merchant just now made the scholar fearful. What if Bao Zheng sees the flaw?

"No, there is no ink problem with this letter, and it won't be so easy to be caught..."

The scholar kept comforting himself, but Bao Zheng was confident. The so-called ironclad evidence was really full of loopholes in front of a professional like him.
