Chapter 113 Public trial of murderers
Chapter 113 Public trial of the murderer
Finally, the time has come.
Lord Miao stalked from the back hall. When he looked up at the formation in the hall, the Miao County Magistrate seemed to have paused, and then walked to the back of the long case as if nothing had happened.
At this time, the officers in the lobby stood left and right.
The clerk is an old juren over 60 years old.
He grabbed the pen with great might.
Outside the lobby, a servant took a punishment stick and surrounded the front of the door with a semicircle.
The people were standing outside the circle and waiting. Seeing the Magistrate Miao appear, someone took the lead in shouting "Miao Qingtian".
Then the voice rang out of the hall like a tide. Some shouted for grievances, some shouted for grievances, and some shouted for the murderer to pay their lives. The shouts came one after another. Xiao Ying was here in person for the first time in person, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel tight.
Yin Jiuming did not show up.
Why didn't he show up?
That night, I agreed with Quan Zheng how to act today. I clearly agreed that he would come to the court in person, so Quan Zheng finally nodded.
In the past three days, there were indeed people who came to pay the redemption bank, which was considered a wealthy person, but they were not considered a well-known figure in Fuyang. Everyone knew in their hearts that this matter was definitely not something that could be accomplished in just three or five people.
Some people may wonder that they can arrest several people who paid the redemption bank and force their accomplices.
Jia Jun proposed this method, but was rejected by County Magistrate Miao at that time.
First of all, we are not sure whether these people know each other's identities.
Secondly, these people are considered to be the first to come forward, and many people are watching secretly, wanting to see if the court that paid the redemption will no longer pursue the matter. At this time, we must not go back on our word.
Third... I'm afraid that the shopkeeper Zhu from Zhengyang Tower did not lie. He didn't even know the identity of some people.
Those people came here with the sign and closed the door to act. Manager Zhu only knew how to act on orders. He would act on the right way to the boss behind the scenes.
If you shouldn't ask, if you shouldn't know, you will see it and pretend to be blind.
So those people are fearless.
The public trial today is particularly important. However, Yin Jiuming did not show up.
Wu Wenjing beside him found Xiao Ying's uneasiness and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Where... is uncomfortable?" The little scholar actually had a tremor. He had never experienced such a scene. But he was a man after all, and he should be calmer than Xiao Ying's family.
Xiao Ying shook her head. "Did you see Mr. Yin?"
The little scholar shook his head.
"I didn't see Brother Yin yesterday. Today... I should show up. After all, Brother Yin is a top priority if I can catch this person."
The little scholar's uncertainty.
When the entire yamen mentioned Yin Jiuming, they all spoke with awe.
Although Yin Jiuming was very polite to them and did not show his face lightly, that kind of instinctive fear was still deeply rooted in his heart.
In the entire yamen, only Xiao Ying and Yin Jiuming got along very well.
Xiao Ying's whole heart sank, and she had an ominous premonition.
Lord Miao picked up the gavel and beat it hard. The majestic voice of the officer shook the sky.
Next, the victim first came to the court, and there were dozens of people wearing plain clothes.
The lobby was almost full of blackness.
These are all girls who died at home, and their elder brothers support their elderly mother.
There are old parents with gray hair snuggling with each other.
After a moment, the crying sounds in the lobby were almost connected. "Sir, the little man's sister is only thirteen years old. She and a few girls went to the village to wash clothes. In the early autumn of last year, she never came back after leaving the door. Ten days later, she was found dead outside the village."
"The little man's daughter is fourteen years old. She never goes out, but she only goes to the mountain with her mother that day to burn incense. When my old woman burns incense, the little girl goes outside the hall to watch the fun and never comes back."
...
"My sister was sixteen years old and had already decided to have a marriage. Sister went to the market to buy cloth and make new clothes... and she could never find it again. After three days, people were found on the roadside and... they were already dead. The young father died early, and there was only one widow. When the mother found out, she fell seriously ill and left last winter. The young man... The young man lost his sister and his mother. He killed someone and asked the elders to avenge my sister."
The last one to speak was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy wearing heavy filial piety.
After the voice fell, the whole lobby became quiet. Xiao Ying heard the front row's officers muttering in a low voice.
"I know your grievances. Don't worry, the reason why the Japanese officials are now publicly tried is to give you justice in front of all the villagers in Fuyang, and bring you justice in front of me, the people who come and lead someone to criminals."
County Magistrate Miao looked very calm at this time.
The sound is like a rosy, and the aura is fully opened. It has a bit of the shadow of the dragon picture in the play.
But God knows that he was repeatedly muttering three words in his mind at this time... Yin Jiuming, Yin Jiuming.
Why didn't this Yin's surname have appeared yet?
He followed up on this case from beginning to end. He knew the inside story best. Before arresting people, he was almost a vain person and came to the yamen every day.
When the person was arrested, he tried it once, and suddenly he stopped appearing in the yamen.
I went to Fuyang Yin's house to look for it.
The concierge said that the young master had something to do and went out...
It's a god. I didn't go out early or late, but I went out at this time. Without Yin Jiuming, County Magistrate Miao felt unsure.
Could it be that it really depends on a little Xiao Ying.
Lord Miao thought of Xiao Ying, a girl, who was presenting the case in the lobby, and confronting the murderer... and felt a big headache.
It's embarrassing.
It is one thing to rely on Xiao Ying in private. It is another thing to let Xiao Ying show her face in the lobby.
After a lot of thought, County Magistrate Miao calmed down. Jia Jun had already personally escorted Ruan Qing to arrive.
Ruan Qing's appearance was like a sudden splash of cold water in boiling oil, and the scene was suddenly out of control.
The people outside the circle wanted to see who was the sacred person who had done this bloody crime. The victim in the hall showed hatred. If the servants on both sides had not stood with a stick, they would rush forward regardless.
County Magistrate Miao once again took a photo of the gavel.
All the people calmed down slowly.
Ruan Qing was pressed by Jia Junqiang to kneel down in the hall. His eyes swept across the face of the bitter master who was full of hatred, and then he knelt down calmly, his eyes drooping slightly, without saying anything, and he looked deserted and unkind.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?"
After Ruan Qing was sent to prison, County Magistrate Miao only went to see him once.
After being stared at Ruan Qing's cold eyes for a moment, County Magistrate Miao fled in panic. It was not that he was timid, but that Ruan's murderous aura was too strong, and he felt a stinging pain all over his body after he took a few glances. After that, County Magistrate Miao did not step into the prison door again, thinking that Yin Jiuming was there, and this public trial was also proposed by Yin Jiuming, so Yin Jiuming would naturally not watch the matter go wrong.
After thinking about it for a long time, County Magistrate Miao did not expect that Yin Jiuming did not show up.
Ruan Qing naturally didn't speak.
"It's useless if you don't speak. The truth is clear. You have committed numerous crimes... Here I have written it clearly..."
