Ask Sword

Who are you?

Dali Temple Minister Yun Hanchi frowned and looked at the men in the audience. Just now Nie Shilei seemed to be pointing at random, picking someone out from the crowd at random, but this man stood where he was, bowed his head, and remained silent, which aroused luck instead. Hanchi was suspicious.

search.

Dali Siqing gave a look, and the officials on both sides stepped forward to hold the man down.

Siqing Mingjian!

The man hurriedly said: Going down is a servant of the Prince's Mansion in Changxiang County. He just came here by chance and was bitten and framed by the suspect.

Prince Changxiang?

Yun Hanchi's doubts did not diminish, The king of the county is sick at home recently, as a servant, why are you still in the mood to hang out?

The sudden illness of Li Chenghe, the king of Changxiang County, is not a secret, and the news that he was diagnosed by Li Ang, the champion of the academy, as having a number of days was also spread.

Since there is no cure for the disease, the most urgent task is to deal with the funeral.

So during this period of time, Changxiang County King's Mansion has been busy counting property, settling assets, and counting dividends in various companies, so that the only son of the county king can successfully inherit the wealth.

At the same time, you have to negotiate with Zongzheng Temple, which is in charge of the affairs of the royal family, to prepare for the funeral and so on.

The entire county palace was busy, and at this time, a servant came to Dali Temple for no reason to visit the trial of an unrelated case, which was very strange no matter how you looked at it.

.

The tall and strong man was speechless, and an officer with a beard whispered to Yun Hanchi: Mr. Yunsi, during the previous investigation, more than one person testified that the last time she saw Meng Ying, she voluntarily boarded In a very luxurious carriage,

At that time, it was about two quarters of an hour in the beginning of Hai.

Um?

Yun Hanchi took a look at this servant who seemed to be named Zou Han. The country of Yu was prosperous and prosperous, and the style of the carriage was extremely luxurious.

In light of harness and horse accessories, there are headbands, forehead straps, nose straps, bibs, cheek straps, pharynx straps, and neck straps.

There is an apricot leaf on the horse's forehead, on the nose and on the upper part of the cheeks, and the belt around the head is also decorated with small golden flowers, matching other precious decorations. This set is collectively called noisy outfit.

That is what Bai Juyi said in A Hundred Rhymes of Cui Shilang's Poems by Cui Shilang Hanlin Qian Sheren in Weicun Retirement and Rites Department that the crown of your lord is floating, and the prince's bridle is making a fuss.

According to regulations, only officials of the fourth rank and above are eligible to use it.

Then consider gexian (belt on the horse's belly), panchest (strap that goes from the saddle forward around the horse's chest), 蹀躞 (decorative strip), luan (bells attached to the scales and yokes of the wagon), etc.,

The price of a high-end carriage ranges from thousands to tens of thousands.

Just like the supercar in Li Ang's memory in another world, it is impressive.

Yun Hanchi also had a statement from witnesses in Dongshi City. If he wanted to find a specific high-end high-end car in Chang'an City, it would undoubtedly be a needle in a haystack.

But if there are targeted clues, if you can show the real thing and let people witness and identify it, then it is likely to be identified.

Zou Han continued: Besides, I also heard that on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, someone saw Li Shenbin, the son of Prince Changxiang, appearing in Dongshi Restaurant at the beginning of the Hai Dynasty.

And some time ago, at the Changxiang County Prince’s Mansion, a carriage was burned on the grounds of cleaning up old things during the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Dali Temple Minister Yun Hanchi narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and looked him up and down.

These words were already very harsh and explicit, and they were clearly accusing a clan surnamed Li, the son of the king of Yu State, for being suspected of being involved in the case.

Zou Han was stared at by Dali Siqing, his body tensed subconsciously, but he still managed to keep his eyes on each other.

Dali Temple Minister Yun Hanchi thought for a while and said, Well, let's go to Changxiang County Prince's Mansion to inform, don't disturb the County King himself, just bring the Prince's son, housekeeper, servant, coachman, etc. Ask some questions.

The faces of the subordinates of Dali Temple on both sides changed slightly. It is not a good job to invite someone to the county prince's mansion in Yu Kingdom, but the minister of Dali Temple has already made a decision, so they have no choice but to follow orders.

Dali Temple is located in the inner city of the imperial city, not far from the northeast of Chang'an where the Prince's Mansion is located. Not long after, all the people and things from the Prince's Mansion have been brought there.

This is Li Shenbin, the son of Prince Changxiang, Li Shenbin?

Li Ang looked into the Dali Temple, and saw a handsome gentleman in white, standing calmly, with a calm expression on his face, Mr. Yunsi, my father is sick in bed and still needs my care. I don't know what Mr. Yun wants to ask. .”

Won't waste too much time.

Yun Hanchi glanced at the case information on the desktop, Where are you at the beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival in the fourth year of Zaiqian?

I was drinking with some friends at the Zuifeng Building on the south side of Dongshi. There were Saburo from Taifu Temple Qing's family and Shaoqing's family from Taichang Temple present.

Li Shenbin reported a series of names, and before Yun Hanchi asked questions, he continued to tell the trajectory of his actions, We started drinking at the hour of Xu Zheng, and we didn't leave until the beginning of Hai.

As I had drunk some wine, I told the coachman to drive slowly back on the road.

Is it this carriage?

Yun Hanchi asked the carriage to be brought in, and the witnesses nodded in agreement.

Meng Chengye outside the temple couldn't hold back immediately, and was about to rush into the temple, but was stopped by Jin Wusuan beside him.

Yun Hanchi asked with a blank expression: These people testified that the deceased, Meng Ying, boarded this carriage at about two quarters of an hour in the first day of Haichu.

Yeah, Yun Siqing is talking about the case that happened in Dongshi during the Dragon Boat Festival, right? I've heard about it too.

Li Shenbin said without changing his face: There are fifteen carriages in my house, and there are three of this shape. One of them was eaten by moths some time ago, and had to be dismantled and burned.

That night, what these witnesses saw in Dongshi was indeed the carriage I was riding in.

In the process of driving back to the Prince's Mansion, I did stop the coachman and pick up a woman into the car.

But that person is not Meng Ying, but a maid in my house.

Li Shenbin pointed to the servants in his house, and pointed to a maid who was about the same age and build as Meng Ying, Her name is Xiao Ai,

On the Dragon Boat Festival, I gave money to all the servants in the house and had a holiday, including her.

On the way home in the carriage, I saw her walking alone, so I stopped the carriage and gave her a ride.

Maybe the witnesses got it wrong. He mistook her for Meng Ying.

quibble.

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly. Many of the witnesses who identified the carriage were shopkeepers, shop assistants, and stall owners of Dongshi shops.

What they noticed that night was the luxurious carriage, but they didn't see the people in the carriage clearly.

As for the little maid Li Shenbin moved out - she is a servant of the county prince's mansion, so it is not difficult to make a statement in advance.

My father has business contacts with Meng Ying's father, Meng Chengye, and I have met Meng Ying before.

But I really didn't meet her in Dongshi that night.

Li Shenbin looked calm, and said to the witnesses: Everyone can identify it again and see if the appearance of Miss Meng Ying's corpse is similar to Xiao Ai, so that I admit my mistake.

.Don't you know? Meng Ying's face was scratched by the murderer with a jade hairpin. Although the body is now preserved in the ice room, it can't see the original appearance at all. It was confirmed by jewelry and birthmarks.

Dali Temple Minister Yun Hanchi took a deep breath, and the witnesses in the audience looked at the maid Xiao Ai, and many of them showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

That night in Dongshi, they just glanced at it, but they were not impressed.

The certificate of five adults said that it might be their own mistake, the certificate of three adults said that they could not remember clearly, and only the certificate of two adults, it seemed that Xiao Ai and the girl who boarded the carriage at that time were not the same person.

Think about it again!

Meng Chengye outside the temple finally couldn't hold back, rushed into the temple, first revealed to Dali Temple Minister Yun Hanchi that he was the father of the deceased, and then said to the witnesses: I hope you will think carefully about my daughter's case. No Zhaoxue!

Shopkeeper Meng, right?

Seeing Meng Chengye appearing, Li Shenbin immediately put on a sad expression, I heard about sister Ying, and I deeply regret it.

Meng Chengye glanced at him with red eyes, but did not speak, obviously he did not trust the son of the county king at all.

Yes, it's her.

Nie Shilei, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head at this time, stared blankly at the maid named Xiao Ai, suddenly pointed to Xiao Ai and the tall and strong servant before, and said, It was she and him who discussed the matter and put I took it into the alley.

The Dali Temple was quiet at first, and then it became noisy again.

The fool's testimony is all subjective and unreliable, but there are also many suspicious things about Li Shenbin.

The crux of the matter lies in the evidence.

The carriage had been dismantled and burned, and the maid, Xiao Ai, and Gao Zhuang's servants were all from the county prince's mansion, and their words were not credible.

If everyone can prove that Meng Ying was indeed the one who boarded the carriage, then you can be sure that I am involved in the case.

Li Shenbin said bluntly: If there is no evidence and cannot prove it, then please ask Yun Siqing to let me go back and take care of my seriously ill father.

After finishing speaking, Li Shenbin glanced back at Yun Hanchi before turning around and leaving.

He is the son of the county king, and his surname is Li. In the absence of conclusive evidence to prove that he was involved in the case, it was a shame to cooperate with Dali Temple in the investigation.

If you want to leave now, no one can stop you.

Apart from

Wait a moment.

Li Ang stepped out of the crowd and blocked Li Shenbin's way, As long as there is evidence to prove that the woman who was seen boarding the carriage at the time was indeed Meng Ying, that's fine.

Li Shenbin narrowed his eyes slightly, You are?

School Palace Li Ang.

Li Ang took off the badge from his waist, showed it to everyone in Dali Temple, then turned to Yun Hanchi and said, Miss Yunsi, I have a way to prove it, but it just takes a little time.

There was a slight commotion in Dali Temple again, and Li Ang's reputation spread widely in Chang'an. Recently, there were gossips that he was ambiguous with Princess Guanghua, and that Emperor Yu repeatedly wanted to call him his son-in-law but was rejected.

Li Ang ignored the astonishment of the surrounding crowd, and after obtaining Yun Hanchi's consent, he went to the ice room of Dali Temple and saw Meng Ying's unrecognizable corpse. Then he found charcoal drawing paper and talked with Meng Ying's father, Meng Chengye.

According to Meng Chengye's description and the outline of the corpse's face, a portrait of Zhang Mengying was drawn.

He drew more than ten portraits of other women in a row, mixed all the portraits together, and showed them to the witnesses, asking them to identify the woman in the car he saw on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Of the thirteen witnesses, ten of them correctly identified Meng Ying's portrait.

That is to say, it was indeed Meng Ying who they saw boarding the carriage of the Prince's Mansion in Changxiang County that night.

Li Ang looked at Li Shenbin, who was livid, and said calmly, I have a theory.

At a quarter of an hour in the first day of the lunar calendar, Meng Ying and her friends got separated at the east entrance of Dongshi. You who were sitting in the carriage at that time saw Meng Ying on the road.

Since you knew her father, you proposed to take the lost her home, Meng Ying agreed and boarded the carriage.

Then you took a fancy to it and instructed the driver to take a detour in an attempt to tarnish Meng Ying.

Meng Ying resisted fiercely, escaped from the carriage, and hid in Dongshi.

Under the anesthesia of alcohol, you also chased away, blocked Meng Ying in the alley, injured and killed her.

After sobering up, you finally felt terrified and asked your servants to find a way to dispose of Meng Ying's body.

But it couldn’t be done—at that time in Dongshi, there must have been citizens who saw Meng Ying boarding your vehicle, and maybe even saw your face.

Meng Ying disappeared afterwards, and her family will definitely search everywhere and point the clues to you.

So the only way is to plant the blame.

You asked the maids and servants to find Nie Shilei, who is famous in Dongshi, who is naturally stupid, and let the maids lure Nie Shilei into the alley, have sex with him, beat him unconscious afterwards, and smear the dirt on Meng Ying's body on clothes.

Do you still remember the characteristics of Zhenfusi Spaniel? They can smell the smell accurately, and when there are two different types of pollution on the scene, they will give priority to Nie Shilei who is located on the scene.

As for why Nie Shilei didn't see Meng Ying's body in the alley, maybe you covered her with a layer of cloth or something.

No one will believe what a fool says,

In order to further eliminate the possibility of exposure, you also scratched and scratched Meng Ying's face, so that Nie Shilei and possible subsequent witnesses could not recognize it.

After doing all this, you returned home, burned the vehicle with traces of blood and other traces, and waited quietly.

As a result, things went unexpectedly smoothly until now.

After Li Ang finished his hypothesis, Li Shenbin said with a livid face, But you still have no direct evidence.

The portraits identified by the witnesses can be completely explained that they have misremembered, or are afraid of the power of Meng Chengye and Jin Wusuan.

Hehe, your Excellency is the son of the county king, and he is not far behind Jin Wusuan in terms of power.

Li Ang said slowly: The weather is hot now, but you are still wearing heavy clothes, don't you think it's hot? Or is it to hide the wound on your arm caused by Meng Ying's struggle at that time?

It was scratched by my dog. Besides, didn't the idiot suspect also have a wound on his arm?

That could have been deliberately made by you.

Li Ang looked at Li Shenbin who was so stubborn and sophistry, shook his head, and said his ultimate move, If you refuse to admit it anyway, and want more evidence,

So, let's play it here.

.

.

.

Dali Temple is silent.

Prisoner Zou Han, who originally thought that Nie Shilei could be wronged and rehabilitated, couldn't help being dumbfounded, wondering if his ears heard it wrong.

The excited onlookers outside the temple also froze in place, waving their fists in the air.

Jin Wusuan opened his mouth slightly, hesitant to speak.

Yun Hanchi's palm trembled slightly.

What did you say?

Li Shenbin, who was equally astonished, said subconsciously.

Masturbation, guidance, handicraft, self-entertainment, whatever you want to call it.

Li Ang's expression was calm and composed, as if he didn't say this in the lobby of Dali Temple, the highest judicial institution in Yu State, You heard what I said, if you don't want to masturbate, you can go to Pingkangfang to find a volunteer.

If you are really shy, you can also cover your face.

.

Li Shenbin's lips trembled, I am the dignified family surnamed Li, you are insulting me and the dignity of the Li family.

This is also the fastest way to find out the case and clear your suspicion.

Li Ang smiled and said: The case file said that the Zhen Fusi brought four fine dogs over that night, and they smelled the semen on Meng Ying's body one after another.

If your semen remains at the scene,

Then those four fine dogs must remember your smell.

So as long as you guide the tube out now and let the four fine dogs carefully sniff and recall it, it will be able to prove whether you are suspected.

Alas, if you hadn't dismantled and burned the carriage, you could have let the dog smell Meng Ying's smell on the carriage. Now that the carriage has been destroyed, this is the only way.
