Chapter 25 The Murderer on Trial

Saburo asked first, "Ding Dazhuang?"

The yamen servant who came to report said, "My lord, my subordinates found someone sneaking into the yamen. I'm not sure if it's him."

"Sanlang, take a look." Zhen Qingming: "Don't show your head and don't make any noise, take a look through the crack of the door, and nod if it's him."

San Lang nodded, Zhen Qingming gestured to the servants on standby, and a group of people quickly rushed to Ding Dazhuang's position.When Ding Dazhuang saw the yamen servant, he ran away without even thinking about it.

"It seems that he is undoubtedly the one, but why did Ding Dazhuang want to kill Zhao?" Zhen Qingming was puzzled, he couldn't possibly not know that even if Zhao died, Ding Qiuhua couldn't be righteous, so why did he go so hard.

"Twenty boards down, everything will be clear." Sanlang said simply, and Zhen Qingming smiled, "I don't like using torture."

"You like to scare people with severe torture." Thinking that he is the son of the prime minister, Sanlang couldn't help but look at him more. Seeing that he was smiling slightly and his face was gentle, he couldn't help muttering, obviously he can rely on his father to rely on his face, so why not? It's a test of strength.

This case was the first case that Zhen Qingming took over when he took office. Seeing the yamen servant coming from a distance with Ding Dazhuang on his back, he said cautiously, "Sanlang, you go to the back hall."

"I'll watch from the side, absolutely don't let Ding Dazhuang see me." Sanlang really wanted to prove his mind-reading skills, and also wanted to see Ding Dazhuang subdue the law with his own eyes.

"Then you stand over there." Zhen Qingming raised his finger and pointed to the aisle leading to the inner office.Saburo nodded, and after he sang "Mighty", his head was exposed.

Zhen Qingming winked at him and he pretended not to know, but because he wanted to ask questions, Zhen Qingming gave him a hard look, thinking that he should not have kept him if he had known earlier, "Ding Dazhuang, do you know this thing?" , Ding Dazhuang shrank his pupils, "Return to your lord, Iron Nail."

"Do you know why I sent someone to arrest you?" Zhen Qingming asked slowly, and Saburo was in his care, so he hurriedly pronounced the sentence, what are you talking about!

"I don't know." Ding Dazhuang was a little hypocritical when he said this, but he acted calmly.

"Then the official asks you, where are you at Shenshi before the afternoon of March [-]?" Zhen Qingming seemed casual, but actually kept staring at Ding Dazhuang.

"At home!" Ding Dazhuang swayed, and Zhen Qingming was secretly happy.

"Nonsense! The guard at the gate said that you left the city before arriving at Shenshi, and your neighbor said that you didn't come home until almost Youshi. How far is it from here to Wujiacun? It doesn't take half an hour to climb you! What have you been doing during this time? , Did you kill Zhao Yuanwai's wife, tell me the truth!" Zhen Qingming picked up the gavel.

With a "pop", Ding Dazhuang's tall and strong body shrank, straightened up in an instant, and raised his head, "Caomin has never seen Mrs. Zhao, and I have no grievances or enmity with her. Mrs. Zhao's death has nothing to do with Caomin." !"

"You still dare to be stubborn when things come to an end. I will ask you, where did you go after you left the city?" Suddenly he raised his voice, "If you dare to hide it, you will be punished!"

Ding Dazhuang: "It's been so many days, and the grassroots can't remember clearly."

"Really?" Zhen Qingming glanced at him lightly, "I will help you remember! Come here, hit the [-]th board again!"

The people in Taoyuan County are simple and honest. Although there are murders from time to time, it is the first time that Ding Dazhuang killed someone with an iron nail.

After receiving the order, Ding Dazhuang was kicked to the ground by the executioner with a "plop".

"Your Excellency, I am wronged, the grassroots are wronged..." Ding Dazhuang's waist was trampled on by two yamen servants, so he could only raise his neck, and kept patting the ground with his hands, screaming for injustice.

If Zhen Qingming didn't know what kind of person Ding Dazhuang was from Saburo and Li Si, he might think that he was wronged because of insufficient evidence.

Knowing that he is a selfish, fierce and unscrupulous person to achieve his goals, seeing Ding Dazhuang's grievance, Zhen Qingming felt chills in his heart.Unexpectedly, such a cruel person existed in such a small Taoyuan County. County magistrate Zhen dared not despise the people here, and also saved him trouble after trouble in the days to come.

Zhen Qingming's eyelids moved, "Execution!"

Then the sound of "pa-pa--" resounded throughout the county office.After a while, Ding Dazhuang lay on the ground like a puddle of stagnant water, unable to breathe, "Wrong...wrong——"

Saburo had been staring at Ding Dazhuang's eyes intently. Seeing this, he took a few steps back and waved at Zhen Qingming. County magistrate Zhen felt speechless, so he walked over and asked silently, "What are you doing? Didn't you see that I was trying the case?"

"I know why he killed people." Saburo stood on tiptoe and said next to Zhen Qingming's ear. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Qingming half-hugged him and pushed him to the back office, "How do you know?"

Saburo smiled at him, thinking that he was deliberately embarrassing himself at noon, so he squinted at him: "Please, please, I will tell you."

"Say it or not!" Zhen Qingming raised his hand and slapped him on the head.Since he was nearly half a head taller than Saburo, when he slapped him, Saburo suddenly looked like a vexatious child.

Wu Jiasanlang suddenly felt hot on his face, and bluffed, "It's fine if you don't want to know, I won't say anything!" After speaking, he turned around and left, intending to pass through the place where Zhen Qingming lived through the back door, and then through the corner door at the entrance of the alley. go out.

"You have a lot of temperament." Zhen Qingming laughed, "Don't make trouble, I was too much in the morning, but you also have something wrong, in order to help you teach your father and mother, I invited all the famous people from the county magistrate, you are good. If you don’t say thank you, you’ll shame me if you see me, and you’re not allowed to ask me a little bit.”

"I only have one sentence, you see how many sentences you have to wait for me. No wonder Xiao Wu said that you are very knowledgeable!" Sanlang wanted to roll his eyes when he read it, "For the sake of your hard work for me, then I will tell you. Remember I said that Ding Dazhuang beat me up, actually that time I just wanted to see Qiuhua, it was my last farewell. But he was good enough to catch me and beat me up.

"He said at the time, 'When Qiuhua gave birth to a son, the Zhao family's property will all belong to Qiuhua, so I can match it with Qiuhua.' I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it, he probably knew that Zhao was pregnant. He's going to kill him. As for how he knows, I don't know." Sanlang heard Ding Dazhuang's inner voice, but if he continued, it would definitely arouse Zhen Qingming's suspicion.

And when Zhen Qingming heard what he said, everything that was unreasonable became reasonable.The top priority is to take Ding Dazhuang into custody first and interrogate Ma Liu again.

Ma Liu didn't know that the real culprit had been found. In order not to involve himself in it, he tried hard to recall the day when Zhao was murdered these days. Let alone going to the casino, he was honestly better than a domestic cat.

When Zhen Qingming asked him what he was doing that day, Ma Liuyi said, "Caomin ran to the casino after dinner in the morning. Since Caomin had no money on him, he didn't end up at the game. At noon, when there were few people in the casino, Caomin went back to the casino." I’m home, and I met a little beggar when I arrived on the street in the afternoon, and the adults below know about it.”

Zhen Qingming: "Since the little beggar found you, have you had any contact with anyone?"

"Caomin didn't have a copper coin at the time. I heard that Mrs. Zhao wanted to see Caomin. Caomin wondered if she was pregnant. Thinking of the money, Caomin ran out of the city in a hurry, and didn't see anyone during that time."

"Then think about it again." Saburo said suddenly, "Have you met anyone, or been followed?"

"This?" Ma Liu scratched his head, "Let me think about it. That's right! I remember, I remember, I accidentally knocked over someone when I was about to leave the city, but," he said, looking at Zhen Qingming timidly, "But, At that time, my heart and eyes were full of money, and I didn't see who he was. My lord, wouldn't that person be the murderer?"

"Get out of the city soon, which is next to the city gate, and it's only half a mile away from the grove." Zhen Qingming pondered for a moment, "Okay, it's none of your business."
