Ninety-nine chapters stone out
Li Shangshu sat in the top, 1 In fact, there was no need for a minister to try this case in person, but it could not resist the special identity of the Kong family, and the affairs of the Du family were well known to everyone, and it was almost the focus of the entire capital, so this time he was the presiding officer.
When the people came up, Li Shangshu frowned and said in a formal manner: "Who is standing in the hall? Come and sign up."
The third lady was quiet for a moment before she reported her name.
Li Shangshu pointed to the people kneeling below and asked the third wife coldly: "Do you know these people?"
The third lady nodded with difficulty: "Read the words of sir, I will recognize them."
"Oh?" Li Shangshu touched the beard on his chin and asked in a deep voice: "Since you recognize it, do you know why they kneel here?"
Before coming, the words of the lady's wife kept echoing in her mind. The third lady was so painful and afraid in her heart. She couldn't tell what it felt like. She didn't want to admit it. Why did she admit it? The Du couple is dead, and they are all dead! There is no evidence of death, and the Du couple's body was found after so long. Who knows what their bodies have become now and can still be used as evidence?
Why did she destroy everything about herself for one possibility?
She gritted her teeth, her body responded faster than her brain, and shook her head with certainty and said, "I don't know."
Li Shangshu had long expected that the third wife would not admit it so readily. In fact, people are like this. They subconsciously have an instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. If there is a slight chance, they think that this opportunity is theirs and luck will come to them.
Even if the evidence is conclusive, most of the prisoners are complaining about injustice.
Moreover, there is no evidence that it is not good for the third wife on the surface.
He laughed, tsk and said, "Is that right? But they are your confidant's companion. They are here because of the murder of the Du couple. How could the third lady say that she doesn't know why they are here?"
Mrs. Kong San's face turned pale. No matter which noble lady was entering the yamen, she was so scared that her legs were weak. But even so, she still held on and tried to control her emotions. She looked up at Li Shangshu and Mr. Zhou who were sitting on her head and said, "I have heard of some rumors inside and outside the capital, but are the adults judged based on these rumors?"
What this said is really a slap.
However, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Li were not in a hurry at all.
With evidence in hand, of course there is no need for them to be timid.
After looking at Li Shangshu, Minister Zhou slapped the agglomeration, asked the official to press the two wife Kong San’s companions, and asked sternly: “You guys! Why do you escape from the capital?!”
The two men were scared to death when they were arrested. Mr. Zhou and his team frequently used their methods. They had suffered a lot on their way back. Of course, they knew that Mr. Zhou was definitely not easy to fool. Therefore, when Mr. Zhou got angry, they were so scared that they didn't know what to do.
Mr. Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to their little thoughts. He raised his hand and someone went out. In a moment, he dragged a few people in from outside. Mr. Zhou pointed at them and asked, "Do you know those people?"
The third lady's accompanying room looked at it and hurriedly lowered her head-----These are really waiters in the inn, hawkers selling things at the gate of the city!
They were frightened, not knowing whether to admit it or not, but seeing Mr. Zhou sneer again, and slapped the awkward tree suddenly: "You don't have to argue. On the day you left the city to kill people, you have already done very carefully, but people, there will always be flaws in panic. Have you ever thought about what you left behind when you kill people?"
What was left behind?
The two looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.
The third lady clenched her fists and was so scared that she was about to scream.
She was able to persevere until now, but she was supported by one belief.
God took great care of her in the first half of her life, and she got almost everything she wanted, and she could turn danger into safety when encountering anything. She has always been the lucky one. Is it different now?
She doesn't believe it.
But Mr. Zhou turned his head and ordered the officials below: "Go! Come on, invite the coroner from the Tongzhou Prefectural Office."
The third lady felt like a stone fell in her heart, sinking heavily.
When the wallet of one of the two accompanying people fell to the ground, they could not say anything. Even the third lady could not control herself and took a step back, her face pale and there was no blood.
Li Shangshu was still alive and did not ask the third wife until this moment: "Mrs. Third wife, the reason why we didn't ask the Du family members to come to the lobby together is to give you some face. If you admit it yourself, it will naturally be better than anything else and will also protect your own decency, but you have to make things happen. Now that people and physical evidence are all in place, what do you say?"
The third lady covered her chest and felt a little breathing. She gritted her teeth: "What can this mean? The bodies you found are beyond recognition. How can we prove that they are the Du couple?"
Li Shangshu burst out laughing: "It turns out that the third wife is still counting on this. It's a pity. Among the Du couple, Lord Du had knee injuries in his early years, so his leg bones are different from ordinary people and have defects. This can prove that he is Lord Du. In addition, the place where they fell into the water was not far from the two people who had seen you, the two people who accompanied you in the room at the end. If even these are not enough, then Mrs. Third wife thinks, how else should she prove it?"
Mrs. Kong San couldn't speak.
At this moment, Chu Tingchuan also came. As soon as he came, everyone in the lobby had to go over to salute him. Taking this opportunity, the third lady Yu Guang glanced at him and saw that he was full of energy, she felt a little resentful.
It’s all Chu Tingchuan’s fault.
If Chu Tingchuan hadn't been very fond of merit and had to make trouble in the Ministry of Justice, her affairs would not have been caused. Now she is still the third wife of the Kong family.
She was angry, but Chu Tingchuan didn't take it seriously at all.
He passed the third wife, went back to the head with Lord Li, sat down at the head, pointed his finger on the table, took a sign and looked at the third wife quietly: "If you don't admit it, the evidence is now in front of you. It is reasonable for the Ministry of Justice to carry out punishment. You must think it clearly."
