Originally, after shouting "Sheng Tang", the officials on the left and right should shout "Mighty" and bang the stick at the same time to frighten the prisoners who were about to be tried.
However, the real government officials were all standing in the courtyard, and the court hall was filled with lay guards, so naturally no one came to agree.
However, Cai Kun did not stick to the formality and still shouted "Bring people to commit crimes".
Everyone present was rigidly convinced that after shouting "bring the criminal", it would be Xu Zun and Shen Tiande who were taken to court.
Unexpectedly, after shouting, four inner guards brought in two more corpses from the back hall!
Why?
Everyone is confused and has no idea what this means?
The two corpses were not covered with white cloth, and it could be clearly seen that they were wearing black night clothes, and their bodies still smelled faintly of being burned by fire.
"Don't put it down," Cai Kun ordered, "circle around the people in Xinye County and let them recognize you."
After receiving the order, four internal guards carried two corpses and came to the front of the county magistrate Qiu Yongnian and the county prime minister Luo Wanwan.
The two looked carefully and shook their heads, indicating that they did not recognize the two deceased people.
So, the guards carried the body to the yard for the government officials and police officers to identify it.
As a result, as soon as he entered the courtyard, one of the government officials immediately recognized him and said loudly: "I know these two people, one is the postman Liang San, and the other is the postman Cheng Wen!"
"Yes, yes..." Soon, several more people recognized the deceased.
"Oh..." At this time, Luo Wanwan nodded while remembering carefully, "I think about it, no wonder they look familiar, I should have seen these two people before.
"Sir," he asked Cai Kun, "what happened to these two people?"
"Huh," Cai Kun snorted coldly, "Last night at midnight, a group of thieves attacked Yizhuang at night and wanted to set fire to the four corpses in Yizhuang! Among them were these two people."
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Luo County Cheng was shocked, "So, these two people must be associates of Xu Zun and Shen Tiande?"
"Really?" Cai Kun expressed doubts, "I can't figure it out. Since Xu Zun and Shen Tiande have been exposed, why would they destroy the body?"
After saying that, he glanced at everyone, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.
"Yes?" Chen Taiji thought of something and analyzed, "If it was really Xu Zun and Shen Tiande who did it, how did they contact their accomplices?
"Is it possible that there is a bigger mastermind behind them?"
"What Mr. Chen said is absolutely true, it doesn't matter, don't worry," Cai Kun smiled mysteriously, "I believe that today we will be able to get to the bottom of this intricate iron coffin case!"
After speaking, he raised his hand to signal, and another group of people walked out of the inner hall.
Wow...
Although I was mentally prepared, it still caused an uproar at the scene.
But I saw that Shen Tiande, Xu Zun, Shen Qian, and other family members and servants of Shen Mansion were escorted out by the internal guards.
Among them, only Shen Tiande and Xu Zun were wearing handcuffs and shackles, and the others were not wearing torture instruments.
A group of prisoners were escorted to the court hall, all facing the direction of Cai Kun.
Shen Tiande was about to bend down and kneel down, but Xu Zun next to him grabbed him.
Um?
Shen Tiande was stunned, wondering what Xu Zun wanted to do?
"Master Cai," Xu Zun spread his handcuffed hands and said with a hint of anger, "your people are more shit-eating than I thought!"
Wow...
Xu Zun's words caused the scene to explode again.
In the eyes of everyone, Xu Zun's behavior was completely seeking death.
Cai Kun holds the power of life and death. Even if Xu Zun was killed with a stick on the spot, there would be no reason at all.
However, what was even more shocking was what happened later, when he saw Cai Kun leaning forward uneasily and saying two words to his subordinates with an embarrassed expression:
"Give me a seat!"
What?
Everyone was dumbfounded in shock, but the guards thought they had heard wrongly and did not move.
"Are you deaf?" Cai Kun scolded, "I said you could give me a seat, so move the chair!"
"Yes, yes, yes," the guard quickly accepted the order and left, then turned around and asked again, "How many handfuls?"
"Three!" Cai Kun replied.
"No!" Xu Zun shouted angrily from below, "I blame you for this. I have changed my mind and want everyone to have a seat!"
"You!!?" Cai Kun glared angrily, "Xu Zun, don't go too far!"
"Okay," Xu Zun simply sat on the ground, "Then we don't want to sit down!"
"You!? How bold!!"
Cai Kun raised his eyebrows, his cheeks trembled, he picked up the gavel and threw it hard on the koan.
Snapped!
The sound was deafening, frightening everyone present to tremble.
"Come here!" Cai Kun shouted loudly, "Bring the chairs over and ask them all to sit down for me!"
"ah?"
The guards almost fell down, but after seeing Master Cai's face turned red, they quickly led people to move the chairs.
While the guards were moving the chairs, the scene was completely silent, and everyone was dumbfounded!
I have never seen such a arrogant person, let alone a prisoner awaiting trial.
Those Xinye County government officers and policemen were still standing in the cold snow, but Xu Zun and other high-ranking criminals from the imperial court not only did not have to kneel, but they had chairs to sit on. This is simply a shame in the world!
However, no matter how incredible it was, it still happened.
After a while, the guards brought chairs to all the prisoners and asked them all to sit on the chairs.
During this period, even Shen Tiande and Shen Qian were confused and felt a bit unreal.
"Xu Zun," after sitting down, Cai Kun glared at Xu Zun and said, "Now that we are even, the fate of you and the Shen family will depend on your next performance!"
"Okay!" Xu Zun first leaned back on his chair, then stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, I will now explain the entire iron coffin case to everyone.
"However, because this case is too complicated, too delicate and ingenious, and my eloquence is very limited, so..." He turned to the people in the courtyard and said like the opening of a speech, "If something is unclear, describe it.
It’s not accurate, so I hope everyone can bear with me!”
Seeing Xu Zun clasping his fists, everyone stared at him with big eyes.
It's obviously a closed trial, so how come it sounds like a confession speech? And since it's a trial, Cai Kun should ask the questions first, right?
"Then I will make a fool of myself! Everyone, regarding the case of the iron coffin, the design has actually started since Mr. Shen's family returned to Xinye County!" Xu Zun finally started his speech, "But the design
The perpetrator is not us, but the real murderer.
"The murderer has only one purpose, which is to use the iron coffin to frame Mr. Shen, so that Mr. Shen will never recover!"
Oops...
As soon as these words came out, the scene once again became uncontrollably ebullient.
"How is this going?"
Luo Wanwan was shocked. Only then did he understand that Xu Zun was trying to reverse the case for himself.
He deliberately scolded him, but when he took a peek, he found that Cai Kun seemed to have acquiesced in Xu Zun's behavior and was listening to it with great interest!
"Before Mr. Shen bought the house for me, the murderer had already built the underground secret room in advance, waiting for us to take the bait." Xu Zun said, "Sure enough, under the murderer's careful arrangements, the house was finally sold to I gave it to Duke Shen for my wedding."
"Indeed..." At this time, Shen Tiande next to him agreed, "Someone indeed sold that house to me. Not only is the location and size suitable, but the price is also very cheap. Now that I think about it, I was indeed careless!"
"In the next year," Xu Zun continued, "the murderer began to prepare this huge and complicated frame-up plan.
"Finally, when everything is ready, the plan begins to be implemented..."
