Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice both avoided suspicion, and the case was eventually handed over to Dali Temple. This time, the promotion of the church was transferred from Shuntian Prefecture to Dali Temple and was no longer publicly tried.
"Report to the master, these purses were found in Miss Zhan's luggage, and the fabric and style were inconsistent with the ones found in Yao Damin's home." The constable presented the dozen purses on the pallet.
The constable pointed to the purse placed alone next to him, "Sir, this blue purse was taken back by Bei Zhi from the Zhe family. According to the maid Lu Liu's confession, this purse was given to her by He Nuan."
Chang Siqing looked at the three purses lined up on the case. At first glance, they all looked the same color, but you could see the difference. The purses retrieved by Zhe’s family and the remaining ones in He Nuan’s luggage.
The purse is exactly the same, both the fabric and the needlework are the same.
The only difference is the purse taken out of the thick cloth curtain in Yao Damin's home, which is also the "iron evidence" by Mr. Liu's accusation of Zhan Feiyu.
"Take the purse to the Minister of the Baifu, and the Minister of the Secretariat Liu will take a look." After checking, Chang Siqing asked someone to take the purse to the officials of the Baifu and other attendants.
A quarter of an hour later.
Mr. Liu sneered and threw the purse back on the tray, sneeringly: "A day and night can be enough to get these purse out, but these can't prove anything."
The purses that aristocratic families usually reward the servants with several types. If the servants who rely on the master, the rewards will be thicker, and there are at least two taels of silver naked sons in the purse.
If you are an ordinary servant, you will have a corner of silver in your purse, which is usually only 200 to 300 yuan. For the sake of difference, the purse is different, and Mr. Liu's words are also correct.
The Supreme Court of Bai said in a deep voice: "After the incident, Yufeng Building was seized, and the constables of Shuntian Prefecture have been strictly guarding them. After discovering this purse from Yao Damin's home, Mr. Liu also sent the constables of the Ministry of Justice to guard them.
”
So if Yao Damin's purse comes from Zhan Feiyu, then she must have the same purse here. She will definitely find it when searching, but the fact is that these ten purse and Yao Damin's purse were found.
And different.
"Master Bai probably forgot that Miss Zhan's two guards are masters who fight against one hundred. It's easy for them to avoid the constable's sight to destroy the evidence." Mr. Liu faced tit-for-tat, the skills of the constable from Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of Justice.
Just focus on ordinary people, experts like He Sheng and He Nuan cannot prevent them at all.
As an official of Shuntian Prefecture, Sun Fucheng also expressed his opinion, "Mr. Liu believed that Miss Zhan ordered the guard to take out the purse and destroy it, but this was just a one-sided statement from the master. No one could find it.
Do you want to convict these destroyed purses?"
"Hmph, why should I take it out and destroy it? I will throw these purses into the stove and burn them to ashes." Mr. Liu had a gloomy old face. If he were the presiding officer, he could have closed the case.
The case was handed over to Dali Temple. The old fox Chang Siqing was very good at everything and without conclusive evidence, he would definitely not close the case easily.
Sun Fucheng smiled and did not speak again. Without evidence, all the accusations were empty talk.
"Mr. Chang, although these purses cannot be used as physical evidence, Yao Damin had confessed before he died. It is good to say that people are about to die." Mr. Liu ignored the officials of the Baifu Yin, who were all officials of Shuntian Mansion and colluded with traitors.
, together!
"The guy from Yufenglou has also seen He Nuan take out a wallet of the same style. Now he has two confessions that cannot tolerate anyone's argument!" Mr. Liu's sharp eyes suddenly looked at Zhan Feiyu, "You said
You are innocent, don't know if there is any evidence to prove your innocence?"
Whether it was Changsiqing or other officials of Dali Temple, they did not want to get involved in the conflict between Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice, so Changsiqing said he was the presiding officer, but until now he could not see who he would favor.
"Mr. Chang." Zhan Feiyu, who was named, walked to the middle of the court and looked at the blue purse accused of physical evidence. "This purse was found by the constable of the Ministry of Justice from Yao Damin's home. Five or one hundred were placed in the purse.
Two silver notes.”
"Not bad." Chang Siqing looked at Zhan Feiyu with a long voice. No matter how Minister Liu attacked, she was not anxious or slow. It seemed that she had already had a countermeasure.
Zhan Feiyu turned to look at Mr. Liu, and saw that he had no objection and continued: "So there is no dispute at present that this purse was indeed given to Yao Damin by the murderer behind the scenes. As long as the real origin of the purse is found, you can determine the murderer behind the scenes.
identity."
"Miss Zhan has a clue?" Chang Siqing was really interested at this moment. In fact, this case was obviously framed by Mr. Liu. No matter who bribed Yao Damin, he would give him five hundred taels of silver notes. Why bother to pack it with a lotus in one go?
Furthermore, if Yao Damin collects these 500 taels of silver, he will definitely inform his parents or wife and children in a vague way. Otherwise, the purse will be sewn in the middle of the thick cloth curtain, and wait for the passing water to soak and wash it and then put it away. I will take it next winter.
I would not find any silver notes hidden inside if I had been hanging out for ten or eight years.
The Changsiqing promoted seven members of the Yao family yesterday. After many years of handling the case, Changsiqing was sure that the elders and young people of the Yao family didn't know that there was silver not hidden in the curtain, so the biggest possibility was that someone sewed the purse into the curtain in advance.
The detective from the Ministry of Justice searched out his wallet.
"I'm not good at needlework, so why not find an embroiderer who is proficient in needlework and thread, and maybe I can find some clues." Zhan Feiyu smiled leisurely. So far, he had never seen this blue purse close to him. He said too much
That would be too fake.
Hearing this, Chang Siqing picked up the blue purse again and looked carefully. Well, as an official in the court, he didn't understand the fabric and needlework of the purse.
A moment later, the embroidery girls who were most proficient in needlework in the three embroidery shops in Beijing were summoned to the lobby. In order to prevent the contributing, the three embroidery girls came to the hall one by one, but the three of them responded the same.
"Sir, this fabric is the most common blue indigo cotton cloth." The embroiderer Li replied with a straight look, "Five types of blue: 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, 王子, �
The color of the lye, horse blue and wood blue grown in the Jiangnan area is slightly different due to the different raw materials."
There are three types of purses in the lobby: those found in Yao Damin’s home, those found in Zhan Feiyu’s suitcase, and those retrieved from his maid Lu Liu.
Li Xiuniang pointed to the latter two purses and said again: "These two purses come from the same person, both of which are fabrics and needlework, and the colors are the same. They all come from the south, and this blue purses come from the capital or the neighboring state capital."
Chang Siqing and all the adults present were all inspiring at this moment. According to the confession on the file, He Nuan explained that these purses were bought from the cloth shop in Xingwenfu, Shannan Road, and bought thirty purses at a time, so he arrived.
There are more than a dozen purs left in the capital.
"In May this year, heavy rains in the capital caused the production of sanglan to be reduced, so the price of cloth increased several times." Li Xiuniang pointed at the blue purse that was found from Yao Damin's home.
"So ordinary people no longer buy blue indigo fabrics. Only wealthy families don't care about the rise in cloth prices, and they still use such blue indigo fabrics."
The price of a batch of ordinary fabrics is between 200 and 500, but the production of sang blue was reduced by heavy rain, resulting in a sharp drop in the number of blue indigo dyes, and the price of blue fabrics soared to two taels of silver per piece.
For ordinary people, you can buy other colors without blue fabrics. Why spend more money? The cloth shop can also receive some purses sold by embroiderers before, but after the price of blue fabrics rises, they will be sent to the cloth.
Zhuang's purses have turned into purple, turmeric, and dark red.
However, these wealthy families in Beijing are not short of money because the expensive blue fabrics are not sold in scattered pieces, and they are all sent to these families.
Li Xiuniang's words also indirectly confirmed that the purse in Yao Damin's home could not have been bought by He Nuan from the cloth shop. So the real murderer behind this came from a family in Beijing. The blue fabric was purchased at home and made into purse.
.
"Li Xiuniang, have you ever seen such a purse or needle technique?" Chang Siqing's eyes were once again on the blue purse. If Mr. Liu framed it, the purse in front of him should have been found in the suitcase.
Same, not from the capital.
At this moment, Mr. Liu's expression changed drastically. He just quickly lowered his head and hid the shock in his eyes. The blue purse was actually replaced!
How is this possible? The purse was clearly found from the thick cloth curtain in Yao Damin's home, unless someone changed the purse first.
Or maybe the purse was replaced on the way back to Shuntian Prefecture. No matter what the reason was, Mr. Liu knew that it was impossible to convict Zhan Feiyu.
"Report to the master, the style and needle method of this blue purse are the most common. Unless you find the same purse, you can compare the needle method." Even if Li Xiuniang is proficient in needlework, if it is the embroidery method made by everyone, Li Xiuniang can recognize it.
It came out, but such ordinary styles and needlework were indecipherable.
There are many families of all sizes in the capital, and even Dali Temple cannot ask and compare one by one with its purse, so the case will be in a dead end.
"Sir." At this moment, Zhan Feiyu spoke again. As for the gloomy gaze that Mr. Liu cast in an instant, Zhan Feiyu ignored it directly, "Sir, I have only been to the capital for a few days and have not made enemies with others. I have had a family with the Zhe family.
The eldest lady is just a small conflict between the girl's family, so she won't make a fuss to the point of buying murder, "they are framed."
"That's true." Chang Siqing nodded in agreement.
Zhe Jing acted arrogantly, but not only Yao Damin died in this case, but Bai Zhaohui was almost assassinated. In addition, the blue purse found from Yao Damin's home came from the hands of the Ministry of Justice's constable, Zhe Jing was not a girl from the back house.
Such a great ability.
"But after Mr. Liu was the chief judge, he had to convict me just by saying one side, so I boldly speculate that someone really framed me, and this purse might come from Mr. Liu's mansion." Zhan Feiyu said amazingly, and this statement was clear
It is said that Mr. Liu is the real murderer behind the scenes.
"Random!" He stood up and said, "What should you blame for slandering the imperial court!"
Even though Mr. Liu was full of official power, Zhan Feiyu dared to stand in the court of Dali Temple, so he was naturally not afraid at all and directly argued with Mr. Liu who was angry.
"I heard that Lord Liu and the Prime Minister Bai had an old grudge, and this also lies the life of the nephew of the Lord Liu clan, one life for another. It is reasonable for Lord Liu to instruct Yao Damin to assassinate Bai Zhaohui!"
Regarding the motives for this case, Mr. Liu inferred that Zhan Feiyu planned to marry into the Bai family with the grace of saving his life. This statement is indeed far-fetched. The motives that Zhan Feiyu said are easier to believe.
"Mr. Liu was afraid that Bai Zhaohui would be rescued by my guard. The man was worried that the case would eventually be found, so he became the presiding officer of the case on the grounds of avoiding suspicion, and then he used the Ministry of Justice to arrest him.
You should frame me with a blue purse. After all, if I hadn't meddled with other people's business, Bai Zhaohui would have died, and the old revenge of the adults would be avenged."
"Your bloody spitting!" Mr. Liu became ruthless and pointed at Zhan Feiyu with one hand, his face twisted with a ferocious look. But when he thought of the blue purse coming from the capital, Mr. Liu felt that the eyes were dark and huge uneasiness was shrouded in his eyes.
.
"Master Chang." At this time, the Minister of the House of Commons also stood up and suggested to Chang Siqing in the main position; "Miss Zhan's conclusion is reasonable, and he also asked the Lord to send someone to Liu Shilang's mansion to check the truth."
The constable from Dali Temple took the order and returned in less than two quarters of an hour. The maid and embroidered lady who were in charge of needlework in the Liu Mansion's needlework in the room, and the Madam Ping, who was in charge of the inner house.
"This is obviously a frame-up!" Seeing the more than 20 blue purses in the detective's hands, Mr. Liu's face turned pale, and he felt his chest suffocating and painful. He stared at Zhan Fei with a fierce look like a murderous person.
Fish, I wish I could cut her into pieces.
No matter how angry Mr. Liu was, the constable explained the situation to Changsiqing in detail.
"Sir, this purse is indeed from the hands of the maid Hongyu and the embroidered lady Tian..." Although Madam Ping is the nanny in charge of the inner hut, she went to court and looked at Mr. Liu's pale face. Madam Ping
The maid was also afraid and did not dare to hide it at all. "This purse is used to reward the servants, including the lady, the young master and the lady in the yard."
After Madam Ping finished speaking, Chang Siqing asked Li Xiuniang to compare the fabric of the purse, the style and needlework, and asked the maid Hongyu and the embroiderer Tian to embroider the needle on the spot, "Sir, this purse is from
Hands of two."
Who would have thought that in the end of the trial of this case, Mr. Liu became the murderer. It was really unpredictable.
