Out!
Ye Feng stretched his arms wide against the boundless night, breathed hard, and then went straight to Xingmin Village. He wanted to perform an autopsy overnight.
At that time, the sky was still dark, and all the materials could not wait to go to the court to start the case.
He wanted to handle a big, fair and just case, and took the opportunity to gain public support and gain political achievements, so he ordered the government officials to beat gongs and drums and notify all corners of the county that the Zhao Lin case would be retried.
The common people who were awakened by the "bang" sound were a little suspicious. They ran to the outside of the county government office in annoyance, stretched their necks and looked inside.
Sure enough, Master Ye was seen standing in the hall clean, neat and handsome. Although she is a little thin, she is in good spirits, reflected in her white jade skin, thick eyebrows like ink, and clear phoenix eyes.
Inexplicably, it gave people a sense of security and a sense of expectation that Zhao Lin would be redressed.
But, what's more, there is a deep feeling of worry.
Behind Mr. Ye, on the high platform and behind the desk, sat the county magistrate with a relaxed expression on his face, and his happy mood could even be clearly seen!
They all still remember the scene when the county magistrate tried Xu Fen's murder case. What is that guy happy about now? Isn't that big fat man having any bad ideas in his belly?
Master Ye, are you really good?
Is there new evidence? You must hold on!
Ye Feng, who was standing there, glanced at the faces of the people who were listening and saw the expectations and worries in their eyes.
This made him feel a little relieved after being so busy after being released from prison.
As long as the people's support is available, he can have a perfect ending without any damage today.
Because other than that, he has no way out.
"Wei~~~Wu~~~"
It's time for the trial to begin. Above the court, the government officials were lined up on both sides, their vermilion-colored killing sticks in their hands tapping the ground neatly, and they chanted and shouted.
There was solemnity all around.
This is the time when all materials are present.
He looked at the crowded people outside the hall with satisfaction, piled up the fat on his face, and showed a smile that he thought he was friendly. After the sound of pressing the hall, he held the gavel with two fingers, patted the case and said: " After detailed investigation by this official, I have determined that there are still serious injustices in the case of Xu Fen’s murder, and now the case will be handed over to the county magistrate Ye Feng for trial!”
The people applauded nervously.
Although they heard the county magistrate say this, their hearts were still hanging in their throats.
The word "official" has two meanings, no matter how you say it, it is there. The county magistrate has a habit of going back on his word, and it could happen at any time if he suddenly changes his mind.
And Quan Cai looked at everyone's faces and listened to the roar of applause. In order to show his firm attitude, he stood up, sat down at the lower left corner, and completely gave up the public case to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng didn't sit down either, and Lang Yue spoke up: "On the sixth day of September, Xu Fen was assaulted at home in Xingmin Village. Everyone is aware of the case. The case is being re-tried because the real murderer - Ma Feng has been captured. ! Lead Zhao Lin, the master of suffering, and lead people to commit crimes against Ma Feng!"
As soon as these words came out, the first people to react were the people who were listening.
"It turns out that the real culprit is Ma Feng. No wonder the county magistrate treated Mr. Ye like that before. How much benefit does this take from the Ma family?"
"It must be a lot. Hey, tell me, this time the county magistrate retrials, does he actually want to charge more?"
"Ah? Then Master Ye will be unlucky again later?"
There was an inexplicable anger rising in their hearts.
Zhao Lin was carried up, covered in blood, and his eyes, which were already lifeless, glowed a little when he saw that it was really Ye Feng who was going to retry his case.
But when I saw all the materials, it became even darker.
When Ma Feng was brought up, he thought his father had just failed to agree on a price with Quan Cai, and he just wanted to go home after a casual ceremony.
His attitude was as arrogant as ever.
Facing the yamen officer who asked him to kneel down, he broke away instead of kneeling, pointed at Ye Feng's nose and scolded him: "Ye, you want the court boy to play with you, don't make him look like a dog." , you want me to kneel down? Do you want to die?"
Ye Feng moved his fingers.
When he sees some strange creatures, he always has the urge to dissect them and study them.
"Ma Feng, at half past six o'clock on the sixth day of the ninth month of the twenty-third year of the Great Xia calendar, you climbed through the back window of Zhao Lin's house and entered his master's side bedroom, raped and killed Xu Fen who was resting inside. Do you agree?!" He shouted. Ask Ma Feng.
Ma Feng said disdainfully: "Ye Feng, I want you to tell me, if you have a chance to be reinstated, just shrink down and be a good person. Why are you still fooling around? I haven't done what you said, so don't accuse me unjustly." .”
"Unjustly accused?"
Ye Feng snorted softly. Ignoring whether Ma Feng was kneeling or not, or his arrogant attitude, he just stretched out his hand to one side.
Picking up the dagger on the tray brought by Chen Dad, he asked Ma Feng with a solemn face: "See clearly, this is the weapon you used to kill Xu Fen! You abandoned it in the grass behind Zhao Lin's house, and I found it. On it, there are Xu Fen’s blood stains, your Ma family’s crest and the word “Feng”, what else can you say!”
Ma Feng has something to say.
He glanced at the dagger and smiled crookedly.
"It's just a dagger. Why do you think there's some kind of blood stain on it? This thing was stolen by a thief a few days ago. Since you picked it up, I'll pay you back and give you five hundred taels of silver." Is that enough? Stop talking about this!"
On that day, after Ma Feng killed the man and entered the back mountain, he thought the dagger was covered in blood and was a burden to hold, so he threw it away. Anyway, money can make the world go round, and it doesn't matter whether it's a murderer or not.
Seeing Ma Feng's reaction and controlling his fingers that wanted to move more, Ye Feng nodded and said to everyone: "During the first trial, there were two witnesses: Qian Aliu and Yu Ada, who said they saw Zhao Lin with their own eyes. Murder. I have a new witness, let’s hear it again.”
The time was very rushed, but the original owner had done a lot of work on this case. From the various traces found at the scene, to the discovery of the murder weapon, to convincing witnesses that Qian Aer told the truth and was willing to testify in court, the original owner played a major role.
And he has been carefully protecting the witness. Even when he rushed into the court to argue with Quan Cai, he did not bring the witness with him, so Qian A'er was saved. After Ye Feng was released from prison, he asked General Chen to bring him here.
Among the witnesses who had previously received money from the Ma family to perjury and said that they saw the murderer was Zhao Lin, one of them was Qian A'er's younger brother Qian A'liu.
Three witnesses were brought out.
As soon as Qian Aliu saw his brother, he immediately knew that something was going to happen and wanted to stop him.
After being kicked by Chen Da, he knelt there, so he didn't dare to say anything anymore and just stared at his brother with his eyes.
Ye Feng looked at Qian A Liu, and then at Qian A'er who was kneeling in the hall and lowering his head, and felt a thump in his heart.
He didn't know whether Qian A'er would regret it for the sake of brotherhood.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
He stepped off the high platform, raised his eyebrows, exuded power, and approached Qian A'er and Yu Ada.
"Ma Feng has been taken to the court, and the murder weapon has been found. Do you two still insist on your original confession that you saw Zhao Lin commit the murder with your own eyes? For perjury, you will be jailed for ten years, and your tongue will not be preserved. You think clearly!"
The two of them were so frightened that they trembled. They didn't dare to move their kneeling legs, and their entire upper bodies leaned back.
But he said hard: "What the common people say and what the common people say is true..."
