"You said Hu Sanwan was wronged?"
Above the public court, Shen Xuanheng looked at Widow Zhao from top to bottom.Widow Zhao nodded like pounding garlic, and her voice was hurried, "Master Guan, although Hu Sanwan is a street runner, he has never bullied the people, and he is also kind-hearted. ”Shen Xuanheng's tall body leaned forward slightly, "But this is all Hu Sanwan's own admission, if you want to clear his name, you have to come up with evidence." ”Widow Zhao's face was resentful, and her tone was also choked, "As an official, Hu Sanwan can't admit it himself, it must be that you have been beaten into a trick and wronged a good person." ”Shen Xuanheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his face so quickly, it seems that this Zhao widow is very distrustful of the official uniform.Originally, Shen Xuanheng thought that Widow Zhao was also a word in the bureau, but what she said here was all based on her own subjective impression, and she couldn't show any evidence at all, but she was worried about Hu Sanwan, so she couldn't come to the official uniform to make a fuss."
You woman, you are so bold!"
The official in the hall scolded angrily, but Shen Xuanheng raised his hand to interrupt."
It's okay, the imperial court yamen is open, and if you have no money, don't come in, this slang official has heard that the former Shangshu made a mess of the criminal department, and it is normal for the people not to believe in the official."
The officials were silent when they heard this, and felt that this trusted Shangshu was very different.Although everyone has heard of this slang, it is the first time that the face is torn clean from the court.Widow Zhao was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said, "Since the official master knows, be a good official, change Hu Sanwan's verdict to not guilty, and release it." ”Shen Xuanheng smiled indifferently, "It's not a secret, the official also feels that there is something strange about this matter, but according to Hu Sanwan's own confession, he has both the motive and the conditions for committing the crime. ”After that, Shen Xuanheng looked at the principal, "Show her Hu Sanwan's confession." ”"Yes."
The principal stood up from the side of the bookcase where the confession was recorded, and showed the file to Widow Zhao three steps away, his eyes were quite vigilant, worried that the woman would destroy the file.Widow Zhao squinted her eyes, browsed the contents of the dossier, and when she saw the word 'Xu You', her face suddenly turned pale, and she fell to the ground weakly."
Original......
It turned out that I hurt him......"
As soon as the words fell, Widow Zhao broke down emotionally, crying and crying.Shen Xuanheng looked suspicious, and the development of things made him a little clueless."
Calm down and tell me what's going on."
Widow Zhao didn't seem to listen, and cried even more.Shen Xuanheng slapped the stunned wood, his voice was not angry and arrogant, "Widow Zhao, crying can't solve the problem, if you continue to consume like this, Hu Sanwan is still a dead end!"
”Widow Zhao was taken aback, her shoulders trembled slightly, she quickly wiped away her tears, and raised her head in a choked voice."
My lord, the reason why Hu Sanwan has a grudge against Xu You is because of me......
That night, Xu You passed by my door, and when he saw that my door was not closed, he wanted to do something wrong......
It was Hu Sanwan who saved me. ”Shen Xuanheng recalled the content of Hu Sanwan's confession, and immediately understood that the woman Xu You wanted to be rude was Widow Zhao, and Hu Sanwan had a conflict with Xu You in order to save her......
Later, because of the gambling habit, Xu You and Xu Mo had a conflict and left home, and met Hu Sanwan on the way, so he wanted to vent his anger that day, so it caused a murder.At this point, it makes sense, but then something seems wrong.Xu You disappeared for no reason, how could Xu Mo conclude that he ran away from home, and he never sent someone to look for him, and there was no record of his official report in the government.Shen Xuanheng pondered for a moment, and felt that he had called Xu Mo to ask what was going on."
Pass Xu Mo."
The officials of the Criminal Department trotted all the way to the Xu Mansion.Previously, because Xu Mo was arrested and became a suspect in the poisoning case, Xu's mansion became the target of public criticism, and the angry people were thrown rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in front of the door.After Xu Mo was released from prison, he immediately called someone to take care of it, but the night passed, and the smell outside the door had not dissipated.The official covered his nose and passed the word, saying that he wanted Xu Mo to pass through the hall.Xu Mo's wife, Su Liu'er, almost fainted when she heard this, her fingers tightly grasped Xu Mo's clothes and refused to let go, and said in a miserable voice: "Husband, how is this good?
”Xu Mo's face was also very heavy, and he turned his head to look at the officer, "Brother Official, hasn't the prisoner been caught in the poisoning case?"
Is there anything else going on with me here?
”The official couldn't figure out Shen Xuanheng's thoughts at the moment, so he could only say: "I don't know what's going on, but it should just be Lord Shangshu who has something to ask you, so you don't have to worry." ”As soon as he heard that it was Shen Xuanheng who had something to ask him, Xu Mo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he trusted His Royal Highness the Prince.Xu Mo patted Su Liu'er's hand lightly, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince has something to inquire about, there shouldn't be anything, he will definitely not wronged me, don't worry." ”Su Liuer was reluctant to let go of her hand, and her words were choked."
Then you go early and come back early.""
Don't worry."
Xu Mo left home and followed the official to the Criminal Department."
Grass farmer Xu Mo meets the adult."
Shen Xuanheng bowed slightly, and said slowly: "Xu Mo, I called you over today to ask about your brother......
"So and so, so and so."
Shen Xuanheng told Xu Mo about the general situation, and after hearing this, Xu Mo's expression gradually became painful, and he sighed, feeling helpless.Seeing him like this, Shen Xuanheng had a number in his heart, and Xu You's death Xu Mo probably had a number in his heart."
My lord, I already knew about my brother's death......"
"Oh?
Then why didn't you report to the authorities, but announced that he ran away from home?
”"This ......"
Xu Mo sighed again, and then said slowly: "That person lost all his savings because of gambling, and came to ask me for money, after I had an argument with him, he said that he wanted brotherly love, and he would never see each other again in this life."
Not long after he left, my wife persuaded me not to make the relationship too stiff, and I was also angry at this time, so I chased him out and wanted to reconcile with him, but I ran into a scene where he beat Hu Sanwan and was killed by him......
Xu Mo's eyes were complicated, "That scene was too terrible, I was so scared that I lost my mind, and after I came to my senses, Hu Sanwan had already run away, and I wanted to report to the official......
But he is to blame for this matter, ......
"So you didn't report to the official?"
”"No, I reported to the official, I handed over the complaint to Gyeonggi Mansion, but after some hesitation, I withdrew the complaint......"
Shen Xuanheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered a few words to the official beside him, who nodded and left the criminal department immediately, not knowing what to do.In the court, Shen Xuanheng said in a deep voice: "Xu Mo, let me ask you, have you found Hu Sanwan in private to seek revenge?"
