Just after the beating with the stick, Liang Zhao's body and back were covered in blood, his lips were white, and he was lying on the ground screaming.
At this time, the crowd parted, and the golden-armored guards came over escorting the owner and waiter of Jinlai Inn.
When they arrived at the court, the two of them knelt down, kowtowed tremblingly and said: "I have met all the superior officials, I have met all the superior officials."
Luo Fan pointed at Hong Youran and said with a smile: "The witnesses are already here. You can ask Officer Hong."
Hong Youran stepped forward, looked at the owner and waiter of Jinxiu Inn, and asked, "Let me ask you, do you know the young master here?"
The boss was sixty years old, with a gray beard and mature eyes. The waiter also had a sly look in his eyes, and they both nodded: "I know, I know. This is Liang Zhao, the son of the owner of Fucheng Silk and Satin Shop, Liang Zhao. His family has a big business and is quite famous in the street. Naturally, know."
Hong Youran nodded with satisfaction and asked: "So this morning, did you see Liang Zhao taking a woman to Jinlai Inn to check in?"
The boss thought for a moment, then nodded affirmatively: "Yes! It is true. In the morning, Mr. Liang did bring a woman in purple to our inn and opened a room. Later, more than half an hour later, we heard When Mr. Liang called for help, we broke in and found that he was injured, so we notified the Liang family."
Hong Youran nodded again, and then asked: "Yes. Do you know the woman who entered the inn with Mr. Liang? Where did she go?"
The boss shook his head: "I don't know her. Judging from her clothes, she seemed to be a brothel girl. When we heard Young Master Liang shouting, she had already disappeared."
The people couldn't help laughing when they heard this. They didn't expect that Xie Xu's wife was thought to be a brothel girl. At this time, Xue Yang and the others were confused, wondering what the deal with Luofan's case was going to be.
Hong Youran asked to understand everything. He raised his head and looked at Luo Fan triumphantly and said with a smile: "Jing Lei Divine Captor, Prime Minister Wu, now that the witness has arrived and the testimony is clear, should we invite the Chief Divine Captor's wife to come and confront him? If Otherwise, this case will not be able to proceed."
Luo Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course. Come, please ask the Chief God's Madam to identify her."
Immediately, Ye Tan and others ran into the house, and soon they saw Yang Rongrong walking slowly wearing a bamboo hat and a white gauze on her head, covering her face. The people raised their heads one after another, but they couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person coming.
Hong Youran witnessed and frowned: "Sir, since you are here to prove your innocence on the spot, how can covering your face count? Besides, I have never met Mrs. Yang. If you make a fake one, we won't be able to tell the difference." ah."
Luofan said: "The Chief Divine Catcher's wife has a distinguished status and is not allowed to appear in public. However, the Divine Catcher King Luo Chuan and all of us all know her. So first the Divine Catcher King and Officer Hong came forward to check and confirm that she was the wife, and then It was so fair to be identified by witnesses from Jinlai Inn."
Hong Youran and Wang Luochuan looked at each other and stepped forward immediately. Coming to the front, Yang Rongrong gently lifted up the white gauze. Wang Luochuan used the Qi Watching Technique to identify it carefully, looked at Hong Youran and said, "It's Mrs. Xie, it's unmistakable."
Hong Youran felt relieved, and then waved for the owner and waiter of Jinlai Inn to come forward.
The two of them stepped forward and took a closer look. At this time, Hong Youran said coldly: "You two, take a closer look. Is this the woman that Young Master Liang brought to your inn this morning?"
The boss and the waiter stepped forward and took a closer look. They looked up and down and left and right a dozen times, but they shook their heads repeatedly.
The boss said with a serious face: "I haven't seen it before. The color of the clothes is a bit similar, but the appearance is completely different. This girl has a much better temperament than the girl in the morning. That girl has a round face and a short and chubby figure. Not this girl's oval face. , Yangliu has a slim waist. No matter the appearance or body shape is different, he is definitely not the same person!"
The waiter also followed: "Yes! It's not a person. I can see it clearly. We have never seen this girl before. It's not her!"
"How is that possible!" Hong Youran immediately became anxious upon hearing this, and Wang Luochuan was also a little surprised.
Liang Zhao on the ground was even more shocked, and Xue Yang and the others were also confused. It was obviously the inn where Yang Rongrong was taken to in the morning, so why didn't the boss and the waiter recognize each other? Or should I say, all this was arranged by Luofan.
Liang Zhao reacted, got up on the ground, and roared: "Are you being bribed? This morning, it was obviously me who took her to the inn, how could you say it wasn't her? You must have been bribed, sir. Make the decision for me, I really took Yang Rongrong to the inn this morning, you have to believe me!"
The boss sighed and said: "Ah! Mr. Liang, we are honest businessmen. We would never dare to harm anyone, let alone talk nonsense. In the morning, the person you brought to the inn was obviously a fireworks woman, with a completely different body shape and appearance. We cannot be unconscionable and falsely accuse other girls of being innocent. We will not do such a conscientious thing! You must have been drunk this morning and became confused."
Liang Zhao swam angrily on the ground, stretched out his hand and cried: "You are framing me! Why are you framing me? It's impossible! I took her to the inn this morning! Why are you trying to harm me!..."
Outside the court, a woman suddenly raised her hand high and shouted: "Hey! Mr. Liang, it was me you brought with you this morning! I am Miss Zidan from Jinxiu Pavilion! You forgot about me!"
When Luo Fan saw this, he shouted: "Let that woman in."
The golden armored guard moved out of the way and brought the woman into the field.
When they came to the field, the woman knelt down and said with a smile: "Sir, the little girl Zidan is the mother-in-law of Jinxiu Pavilion. This morning, I was shopping on the street and met Mr. Liang as soon as I went out. This Mr. Liang is mine. Regular customer, I went to say hello as soon as I saw him. But today, Mr. Liang was drunk and always said stupid things. He even said that I looked like the girl he admired, and then he gave me twenty taels of silver and took me with him. I went to Jinlai Inn. When I arrived at the inn, he kept calling me Rongrong."
"You are talking nonsense. When did I drink? Who sent you? Why did you frame me? Sir, I was wronged." Liang Zhao cried anxiously again.
At this time, the owner of the Jinlai Inn and the waiter stepped forward, pointed at the Zidan girl, and shouted: "Sir, that's her, that's her. She was the one Mr. Liang brought to our inn in the morning! This voice and appearance are all It’s right, it can’t be wrong.”
At this time, Hong Youran was also a little confused. Why was this different from the arranged script?
He asked angrily: "Let me ask you, since you said Liang Zhao took you to the Jinlai Inn, then how did he have his penis injured, and how did you disappear? Is it possible that you, a woman from a brothel, can do such a thing? Quickly Recruit him quickly, or he will be severely punished."
Zidan immediately threw himself on the ground and shouted: "Sir, the little girl was wronged. I am not to blame for this matter. Now that the matter has come to this, I can't hide it anymore. Mr. Liang drank too much in the morning, and he didn't support him there. Yes, he was angry at the time and said he wanted to cut it off and become a clean person. Then he pushed me to the ground, picked up the dagger and destroyed his own place. I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to. Afraid of being implicated, I jumped out of the window and escaped. When I heard that something had happened, I ran over to inquire about the news. Seeing that Mr. Liang was still confused and took the things in his dream seriously, I was afraid that he would harm the innocence of Mrs. Shencat. , then I had to come forward and explain the matter clearly."
"It's not like this, it's not like this! It's not a dream, it's not a dream!" At this time, Liang Zhao's face was full of panic, his eyes were stupid, and he was completely lost. Suddenly he screamed, and the blood gradually gathered in a pool under his body. His extreme anger caused the wound to bleed, and he was afraid that his life was not long.
Seeing this, Hong Youran said angrily: "My lord, there must be something fishy about this matter. How could anyone cut off their own body while drunk? This woman speaks confusingly, and the owner and waiter of Jinlai Inn are also suspicious. I Request that they be taken into custody and tried again tomorrow.”
Luo Fan snorted: "The facts are clear, so there is no doubt. It's not surprising that this man was drunk and did stupid things. Besides, you also found the witness. Is this false? Look at this Liang Zhao, He is confused. I'm afraid his brain has long been abnormal. I think he went crazy after drinking and was injured, so I won't pursue him for framing a senior official. Let the Liang family take him home for treatment quickly. I'm afraid it's too late. His life is gone."
The Liang family had no choice but to carry Liang Zhao away to save his life, but before they got home, Liang Zhao was already dead.
Seeing that the case was cleared, Hong Youran turned pale with anger and rushed to Luofan, cupping his hands and saying coldly: "As expected of a living Yama, with good methods and skills. I have seen it today, and we have a long way to go. Come back for advice in the future."
"Wait! Don't wait until tomorrow. Let's settle today's accounts first." Luo Fan suddenly looked cold.
"What do you mean, sir?" Hong Youran frowned.
"Now that Mr. Xie and his wife have been proven innocent, you are guilty. You publicly slandered a second-rank official and even forced Mr. Xie to confront him in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The following offenders will be punished with forty sticks, and they will listen to the villain. Slanderous words, destroying Madam's innocence, and adding forty more sins. I won't count the other crimes. If someone comes to take them, I'll give him an eighty stick first to let him know what it means to be a human being!" Luo Fan said coldly.
Immediately, the golden armored guards stepped forward, pushed Hong Youran to the ground, and began to use the stick.
"Luofan, you thief, why do you hit me! You thief, you will not die a good death! Let me go, you will not die a good death!" Hong Youran lay on the ground, roaring angrily.
"Oh. If you dare to insult Shangguan, I will give you another forty sticks."
Luofan smiled slightly, stood up and stretched. Xue Yang advised from the side: "Hey, if you really give him a hundred and two strokes, he will be beaten to death. Although Inspector Hong is excessive, he will not punish him so severely. I think let's forget it."
Luo Fan smiled and said: "This is your territory, and of course you are the one who makes the decision. Since there is nothing to do here, I will go back to the arresting department first. Everyone takes your leave."
