Bao Zheng held up his hands and said: "The second doubt is the content of this suicide note. Bao did not investigate the origins of his life, so he will not make any judgments and assumes that it is all true. But in this way, the second doubt will be highlighted.
Qin Dalang admitted that he lost his father and mother when he was young, and he wandered around and begged for a living. Later, by chance, he was taken in by Wuhu Scissor Zhang and taught his craft. So how did he learn to read and digit? This suicide note is filled with hundreds of words and is a narrative.
It is clear and logical, and the words are very elegant. Please think about it, can this Qin Dalang write it?"
Everyone was in an uproar, and Su Jin also secretly admired him for not thinking of this problem. Qin Dalang did know a few words, but he had no ability to write the eloquent suicide note that the master read.
"Why didn't I think that the suicide note was so literary? It was just some ordinary sentences." Zhu Shiyong couldn't sit still, and secretly cursed the idiots in the Chamber of Commerce for their poor consideration.
Su Jin suddenly spoke up and said: "I know that there is no escape from this disaster in life. After thinking about it, I can only die; but death means death. I can't calm down my anger, so I wrote this suicide note and kept it in my clothes. If
There are still gods in heaven and earth who have not been extinguished, and there are still consciences in the world. Maybe they can be known, and they can do justice for heaven and eliminate the evil villains in the world. Even if I am a ghost, I can rest in peace. This is a life-threatening stroke! Qin Dalang wept with blood."
What Su Jin memorized was the last paragraph of Qin Dalang's suicide note. It was difficult for him to remember it so clearly. Bao Zheng smiled happily and said: "Su Xiaoguan has a good memory, and it is exactly the original sentence, every word is missed; fellow villagers and elders,
This passage is sharp and full of literary talent. Could it be written by anyone? Anyone who can write such words must have studied for at least three to five years. Unless Qin Dalang is a talented person who has learned it without a teacher, otherwise
It is impossible to write these words."
Everyone is convinced that this passage is very clear in terms of diction, sentence reading, literary talent, and momentum. For a person who has been homeless since childhood and has never read a book, this is an impossible task.
Zhu Shiyong argued stubbornly: "You can't just assume that others can't. What's the point? Whether Qin Dalang can write good articles, we don't know what his intelligence is, so how can we deny it outright?"
Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce knew that a big flaw had been exposed, and they all agreed: "That is, there are people who are good at heart but vulgar on the outside. Why should they say that Qin Dalang has no such ability? What a joke!"
"Master Bao, it's natural! It's natural!"
Bao Zhengli ignored this group of people and just said to Zhu Shiyong: "That being said, is this considered suspicious?"
Zhu Shiyong couldn't tell lies in public. He nodded and said: "It's just one point, but based on these two uncertain doubts, can we conclude that this suicide note is fake? If Mr. Bao has no other evidence, I'm afraid today
I cannot convince the fellow villagers present and this government, but you will not be able to escape the crime of contempt for the court and being rude and disrespectful. Don’t blame me for enforcing the law impartially."
Zhu Shiyong was cruel in words, but in his heart he was scolding the Chamber of Commerce for not doing things carefully. The seemingly seamless evidence fell into pieces when Bao Zheng easily analyzed it, and was about to become untenable. Fortunately, neither of these two pieces of evidence was conclusive evidence, and there was still no proof.
There is a chance of reversal, otherwise we must immediately admit defeat and let this kid Su Jin go home without guilt.
Su Jin, Yan Biyun and others who were watching were also secretly worried. Although the two points raised by Mr. Bao were doubtful, they were not fatal. They could not infer that the suicide note was forged. In today's situation, if we cannot find enough evidence to convince everyone,
, I'm afraid that Magistrate Zhu will immediately turn against him and take the opportunity to harm Mr. Bao. Then he will not be able to escape, and will also implicate Mr. Bao. That would really be like "losing his wife and losing his army."
Bao Zheng, however, looked calm and turned a deaf ear to Zhu Shiyong's threats. He turned to the old man behind him and asked, "Master, are you ready?"
The old man bowed and said, "Bao Xing is already waiting outside."
Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Very good. I'll ask him to come in later."
Zhu Shiyong didn't know what the two of them were whispering about, so he sneered: "I'm afraid it's too late to discuss the future."
Bao Zheng frowned and said: "Why is the magistrate so uncontrollable? As a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, he should be upright, calm and calm, but I think you are avoiding impatience, acrimony and acrimony. It is really unbecoming."
Zhu Shiyong said angrily: "How can I, as an official, do what you do? Master Bao Zheng, write down Bao Zheng's words that insulted me, and report them to the transfer envoy later."
Bao Zheng said: "Master Zhu, don't think about how to impeach me. First think about how confused you are about this case. Let me ask you, when was Qin Dalang's body discovered?"
Zhu Shiyong said: "Yesterday afternoon, I was among the reeds in the Feishui River three miles south of the city."
Bao Zheng asked: "Why did the deceased die?"
Zhu Shiyong said: "I conducted an inspection and found out that he died of drowning."
Bao Zheng asked: "What happened to the corpse?"
Zhu Shiyong said: "I reported that the corpse was in a state of death. The weather was extremely hot and the deceased had been dead for a long time. Death was inevitable."
Bao Zheng said: "Master Zhu gave the report sentence by sentence. Didn't he see the corpse with his own eyes?"
Zhu Shiyong said: "Inspection and investigation are the duties of the criminal officer. Naturally, it is impossible for me to go to the site for inspection."
Bao Zheng said: "Okay! Just as you said, how long did it take between the death of the deceased and the discovery of the body? Does the author have any judgment?"
Zhu Shiyong said: "Based on the degree of death of the corpse, it will take at least two days and at most three days to make a judgment."
Bao Zheng said: "Okay, this judgment is similar to the judgment made by Bao's subordinate. Congratulations to Mr. Zhu for your good work."
Zhu Shiyong stared at Bao Zheng with his small eyes and said: "You have been asking for a long time just to praise me, Luzhou Prefecture, for my real ability? What I want is for you to explain why this suicide note is a fake. Don't ramble on.
Waste of time."
Bao Zheng said solemnly: "Who told you that I was rambling? I am here to let you people understand the time of the incident and the cause of death. For now, based on the investigation by the prefect, we have the following conclusions: First of all, the deceased
He died by drowning, does Mr. Zhu agree with this?"
Zhu Shiyong said: "Exactly."
"Secondly, the body had been dead for several days when it was found, about two or three days. Does Mr. Zhu think that is true?"
"Of course."
"Again, this suicide note was found on the body of the deceased during the body inspection. Master Zhu, don't you deny this?"
"Don't deny it."
Bao Zheng's stern face showed a smile again. Su Jin followed his thinking and his mind was spinning rapidly. Suddenly he jumped up with a loud shout and said: "I understand, I understand."
Everyone was startled by his sudden behavior and looked at him in confusion; Zhu Shiyong slapped him in shock and said: "The guilty Su Jin, don't have to roar in court, just stay calm."
Su Jin protested: "The facts of the case are not yet clear, so how can we casually call people 'criminals'? Please be more careful with your words."
Zhu Shiyong said angrily: "Are you retracting your confession in court? Come on, I'll be punished."
The government officials on both sides shouted and were about to come forward. Bao Zheng shouted: "Stop it!"
The government officials stopped and looked at Zhu Shiyong listening to his orders. Zhu Shiyong shouted: "Bao Zheng, don't bully others too much. I am self-improvement in the lobby, but you come to block it. What's the point?"
Bao Zheng said: "Why rush to be sentenced? At this moment, this Su Xiaoguan has something to say. Since he is the prisoner in your mouth, why don't you want to give him a chance to speak? Wouldn't that become a one-spoken hall?
Is it done?”
Zhu Shiyong was going crazy because he was being disrupted by Bao Zheng today, but he was not only thoughtful but also sharp-tongued. If he was targeted by him, if he was not careful, he might really lose his hat.
I can't bear it! Zhu Shiyong swallowed a mouthful of hot bad breath.dd
