Chapter 121 The trial
In fact, the Zhang couple doubted whether Murong Jun would really keep their promises, but they were at a complete disadvantage now, and life and death are in Murong Jun's hands, so no matter whether they trust Murong Jun or not, they have no room for resistance.
With the Cuishan line, Murong Jun quickly proceeded to make arrangements, and the group of people who fled with arms seemed to have never expected that the destination they were going to had been leaked by others. By the time they arrived at Cuishan with arms, they had already been occupied by officers and soldiers.
Their intrusion was almost like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and it took almost no effort. The group of arms that had been illegally made were confiscated by the government, and almost all those responsible for escorting arms were arrested.
All of this seemed to be very smooth, but it was a pity that the person behind the scenes was not captured.
Murong Jun casually glanced at the people who were caught on the side, and finally his eyes fell on the face of a young man with a resentful look on his face, "Take him back alone."
Zhang Su was so confused that he met his parents who he thought he had died or had been taken to prison again.
"My good son, are you okay?" Zhang's mother saw Zhang Su's appearance was covered in wounds, and she immediately burst into tears. She pulled her son up and down, her face full of heartache.
However, Zhang Su was far less excited than his mother. He looked at his parents suspiciously, and then looked at the guards outside the door, as if they were unbelievable. His face suddenly became a little ferocious, "Did you reveal the whereabouts of the arms escort?"
Zhang Su widened his eyes, as if fire was about to emerge.
As soon as Zhang's mother cried, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhang's father beside her.
Although it was not stated clearly, everything was clear enough.
The expression on Zhang Su's face changed again and again. Finally, even when he looked at his biological parents, his eyes seemed to be looking at his enemies, full of resentment, "You know that because of your words, those who we finally escaped died and were arrested, and even the arms we worked hard to make were all gifts for Rong Chao!"
"That's our hard work for several years! You were sold like this! You are the sinners of the Li Dynasty. It's you that have caused so many people in our village to be ruined for several years, and it has also exposed the master's plan in advance! You deserve to die!"
Zhang Su's last sentence was extremely strong, and from him, the Zhang couple truly felt the murderous intention.
Seeing this, Zhang's mother involuntarily took a few steps back. Looking at the distorted young man in front of her, Zhang's mother couldn't even believe that this was her son who had been pregnant for ten months and had worked hard to raise for almost twenty years.
As for Zhang's father who was standing beside him, he was already trembling with anger by Zhang Su. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped the person in front of him hard, "Nizi, who are you talking to?"
Zhang's father was so angry that his anger was not weaker than his son. "It was inevitable that the dynasty would be replaced and destroyed. As the backbone of the village, you should have tried your best to bring peace and peaceful life to the village, but look at you, for the sake of the illusory and impossible plan, what will the entire village become like?!"
"Do you think you can stand here and talk to me without your mother and me now. Do you have the temper to me?" Zhang's father pointed at his son with a slightly trembling finger, because he was too excited, his chest was fluctuating violently.
However, after hearing Zhang's father's words, Zhang Su not only showed any regretful expression on his face, but the resentment in his eyes became stronger and stronger, "You traitor!"
After saying this, Zhang Su walked outside without looking back, but none of the servants and servants guarding outside stepped forward to stop him. Murong Jun had already issued an order in advance, and the Zhang family could leave at any time and not stop him.
However, after Zhang Su left, a shadow followed him in secret. Zhang Su was the person he had contacted with the Zhang family and his wife. He might be able to follow the clues to find out the identity of the master.
Since the arms were successfully found, Murong Jun had no time to take care of the follow-up matters. After pushing them to Zhao Hai, he rushed to the Imperial City with the prison cart that escorted the prisoners back to the Imperial City.
There is actually no difference between the Ministry of Justice's prison and ordinary prisons, but the place is bigger, the number of prisoners is less, and there are more torture instruments placed outside.
Looking at the little girl with a calm face in front of her, Wang Ruicai, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, could not help but exclaim that he could still be so calm in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. It seems that as the information said, the girl in front of him, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, is not simple!
"The suspect Lin Yingxue, the mistress of the Hua family, reported to the official, saying that you poisoned the third son of the Hua family because you were not satisfied with the engagement. Do you admit your guilt?" Wang Ruicai held the testimony prepared in his early morning, and seemed to be ready to let Lin Yingxue sign and seal it at any time.
However, Lin Yingxue smiled softly when she heard this, "Sir, I was joking. This person was not killed by me. Why should I confess my guilt?"
"You..." Seeing that Lin Yingxue did not cooperate, Wang Rui frowned and was about to say something, but at this moment, there were mixed footsteps behind him.
"The Third Highness is here." The guards next to him reported loudly.
When Wang Ruicai heard this, he didn't bother to continue interrogating Lin Yingxue. He stood up from the chair and hurriedly turned around and saluted, "Your Highness has seen the Third Highness."
With outsiders here, Lin Yingxue also got up and greeted Wang Ruicai.
Murong Jun raised his hand casually and signaled that the two of them would not give up. Then he sat down without waiting for Wang Rui to greet him.
Seeing that Wang Ruicai was looking like he wanted to speak but stopped, Murong Jun curled his lips and said lightly: "The father has ordered me to coordinate the trial of this case. The document has been sent to the Ministry of Justice. Lord Wang will know it after a while."
After hearing Murong Jun's words, Wang Ruicai's heart suddenly stumbled - he had already received the order from his superiors, and he would make Lin Yingxue confess his guilt no matter what, but he didn't expect that a third prince would be inserted halfway through, and this was difficult to deal with.
Wang Ruicai wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead and smiled happily, "Since that's the case, I wonder what advice does the Third Highness have?"
Looking at the smile of the people beside him, Murong Jun curled his lips and did not take it to heart. He picked up the testimony on the table and looked at it, and asked casually: "I just came to investigate the case together. It's mainly because I have to rely on Lord Wang. I don't know where Lord Wang has just interrogated, so I will continue at this time."
Seeing Murong Jun's face light and light-hearted look, Wang Ruicai couldn't see what the third prince was thinking. Therefore, he had to say truthfully: "The lower official is interrogating the suspect's criminal process. The mistress of the Hua family, Li, and many servants from the Hua family, all pointed out that the third young master of the Hua family was poisoned to death after seeing the suspect. From this, it can be seen that the person in front of him is the real murderer!"
Wang Ruicai called the suspect one by one, and finally directly pointed out that Lin Yingxue was the murderer. He looked so excited. If someone who didn't know would think that Lord Wang was at the scene of the crime at that time.
However, after hearing Wang Ruicai's words, Murong Jun showed a sneer that was exactly the same as Lin Yingxue's words, "Mr. Wang's words are illogical." Murong Jun said, pointing to the testimony on the paper, "First, if it is true as Lord Wang said, then those servants did not see the fifth lady poisoning Hua Yuyan with their own eyes. Second, the testimony only states that the deceased was poisoned to death. So, Lord Wang, what poison is among the deceased and where does the poison come from?"
Murong Jun was full of words and asked questions. After some cold sweat broke out on Wang Ruicai's forehead.
"Return to the Third Prince. Although these witnesses did not see the suspect taking action with their own eyes, according to the witness, there were only two suspects and the deceased in the yard, but the deceased died and the suspect survived. It is obvious who the murderer is."
"As for the poison that the third prince mentioned just now, the poison in which the deceased was highly poisonous Heron. After taking it, he died on the spot. This was verified in the wine the two drank at that time, and later the officials also found a small amount of Heron in the room where the suspect had lived... All this is enough to prove that the person in front of him was the murderer!"
After Wang Rui finished speaking, a little smugness flashed across his face, and it seemed to be saying: How about it, I have explained everything, what else do you have to say?
Murong Jun took the pride on Wang Ruicai's face into his eyes. He put down the testimony in his hand, but his face was still calm.
"Mr. Wang was wrong. Since the witness did not see the fifth lady taking action with his own eyes, it is impossible to determine that the murderer must be the fifth lady. Secondly, the poison of Hedinghong is extremely rare. Just searching the poison in the room where the fifth lady once lived cannot prove anything. Master Wang needs to find out the origin of the poison and confirm that the poison is indeed owned by Miss Five, then the case can be convicted."
It would be fine if Murong Jun had forced Lin Yingxue to commit crimes based on his identity, but now every word Murong Jun said is logical and intertwined. Wang Rui opened his mouth, but he couldn't even say a rebuttal.
Seeing that what Murong Jun said was almost done, he turned his attention to Lin Yingxue, who had been watching the show on the side, "Don't worry, Miss Fifth, the purity will be clear. If Miss Fifth is really framed, Lord Wang and I will definitely find out the matter and give the fifth lady a clean heart."
Murong Jun said seriously, his appearance was really righteous, and he could not see any desire to be favoritism and abuse of power.
Lin Yingxue tried hard to hold back her smile, and also imitated Murong Jun's appearance and replied sternly: "The little woman believes in the third prince and Lord Wang, so I will bother you more about this."
After Murong Jun was out of prison, Mingying, the personal guard who had been following him, quickly walked over, "Your Highness, what you told your subordinates to investigate, you have already checked it."
Mingying said, and took out a small stack of paper from her arms. After Murong Jun took it, he flipped it over and threw it back to him, "Where does Mrs. Hua live now?"
Mrs. Hua is an important witness. If the case is opened in the future, Hua will definitely come forward, so now the Hua family must be in the imperial city, but they are just hidden.
"When you go back to your highness, your subordinates have found out that they are now in a house on the outskirts of the city." Ming Yingfu put away the things and replied expressionlessly.
