Chapter 114 The Truth
In order to confirm the authenticity of what the prince said, Yu Zheng asked the Yamen to summon several witnesses to confirm that what the prince said was true.
He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him. This crime is really difficult to convict.
"So, both of you are guilty of this murder." Yu Zheng looked at Mr. Zhao with dark eyes.
Mr. Zhao broke the jar and said, "What the prince said is true, then let us both be executed in the future."
He might not be able to survive because of his father's involvement, so he would feel happier if he could take the prince to be buried with him.
He thought about it, but Prince Wang couldn't.
"No, Your Majesty, the common people are unjust. The common people have no intention of killing, and they have no intention to kill. It was Zhao Yu who deliberately kicked me and knocked Miss Ruyan downstairs to her death."
"Zhao Yu maliciously planned to kill someone!" Mr. Wang accused angrily.
There was a huge twist in the case, and Yu Zheng asked in a deep voice, "What evidence do you have?"
Prince Wang said: "Zhao Yu said before kicking me, you all should go to hell."
"Miss Ruyan and I are old acquaintances, and I have never liked Zhao Yu. That day, Zhao Yu asked Miss Ruyan to accompany me but was rejected. He turned around and saw Miss Ruyan accompanying me, so he took action out of jealousy and anger."
"Miss Ruyan had been helping me during the scuffle. Zhao Yu was so angry that he had murderous intentions and deliberately kicked me to the fence, knocking down Miss Ruyan."
"Yes, yes, I remembered. Zhao Yu did say this at that time." The witness recalled what Mr. Wang said and remembered what Zhao Yu said.
Several people testified that their words were consistent. Zhao Yu saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly defended himself.
"How can a lie made out of urgency in the midst of chaos be taken seriously? Which of you has never said such a thing when arguing with others?"
this……
Several people looked at each other, speechless.
Yu Zheng looked through the files in his hand and asked, "Why in the previous files, only your testimony about seeing Wang Hao knocking Ruyan downstairs was not included in the previous files?"
Several people glanced at the ferocious-looking Zhao Yu and sighed: "Master Zhao was the judge before. He only asked us if we saw the prince hitting anyone, and didn't let us mention anything else."
What a partial generalization and a disregard for human life.
Zhao Renxian has one more crime.
Yu Zheng closed the file and asked in a solemn voice: "Deliberately plotting to murder and framing Wang Hao, Zhao Yu, do you know the crime?"
"I don't know, but Wang Hao and I are guilty of manslaughter, so we should be guilty of the same crime." Zhao Yu bit Wang Hao and was determined to pull him away.
Wang Hao was trembling with anger, but he had no choice but to hope that Yu Zheng, who was in the courtroom, would see clearly and clear his name.
"The files record that when Zhao Renxian tried the case, Wang Hao refused to plead guilty and was sentenced to fifty with a cane. Zhao Yu also used the same punishment."
After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead tiredly.
The Yamen came forward and took Zhao Yu into custody, pushed him onto the execution bench, and executed him with a stick.
"No, no, I didn't kill anyone intentionally, you can't torture me..."
Zhao Yu was spoiled, domineering and domineering. He had always tortured and beaten others, but he had never been tortured himself.
The official tried to hit him a few times, but the pain was unbearable and he started wailing like a pig being killed.
"Take a rag and plug his mouth." Zhufeng ordered.
The ears were finally cleared, leaving only the sound of the board falling on the skin, which made the listener feel very happy.
After all, he was his former master, so the Yamen's attack was not harsh and the beating was very perfunctory.
Zhufeng saw it and scolded him coldly: "If you don't know how to execute someone, just lie down and let me demonstrate to you."
The executioner's scalp tightened when he heard this and he quickly increased the force.
Finally, seeing Zhufeng staring coldly at him, they were covered in cold sweat, gritting their teeth and hitting each other harder.
After fifty strokes of the stick, Zhao Yu's back was bruised and bloody, just like Wang Hao that day.
Because his mouth was blocked and he couldn't shout, Zhao Yu fainted from the pain just like Wang Hao did before.
"Wake up and let the interrogation continue." Zhufeng ordered.
Although he has no experience in trying cases in court, he has tried many people secretly, and most of them are hard-core, much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Yu.
Therefore, Zhufeng and Yu Zheng did not take Zhao Yu seriously.
A bucket of cold water was thrown down, and Zhao Yu, who had fainted, was awakened by the burning pain on his back, which almost killed him.
"Planned to kill Ruyan, framed Wang Hao, Zhao Yu, can you plead guilty?" Yu Zheng's voice was as cold as frost, and there was a trace of impatience between his brows.
The burning pain on his back made Zhao Yu understand that if he refused to plead guilty, he would definitely be punished.
Either way, it was death. Zhao Yu didn't want to suffer any more punishment, so he trembled and confessed.
Yu Zheng's dark eyebrows stretched, and he pronounced the verdict in a deep voice: "Zhao Yu deliberately killed people, framed Wang Hao, and was sentenced to death by beheading."
"What the eyes and ears can't see, what thinking can't see. Wang Hao's negligence caused the death of someone, and he was sentenced to a one-year sentence for giving the deceased a generous burial."
Upon hearing this rebellion, Wang Hao and Mrs. Wang felt relieved and cried with joy.
From certain death to a desperate attempt to survive, Wang Hao seemed to have lived a new life.
"Husband, you won't die, you can see our child." Regardless of her heavy body, Mrs. Wang rushed over and hugged Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was happy and sad at the same time: "But it will take another year before I can go home, and I can't see the baby coming."
Mrs. Wang smiled softly and said, "It doesn't matter. The child and I are waiting for your return at home."
Looking at the couple hugging each other, Jiang Shu gave a loyal advice: "Young Master Wang, life is hard-won. I hope you cherish yourself and don't indulge in the same indulgence as before, which will make your loved ones angry and your enemies happy."
"Yes, thank you Boss Jiang for saving me." Wang Hao burst into tears of gratitude.
Jiang Shuke was truly his noble man, not only saving the Wang family's business, but also saving his life.
Jiang Shu said: "What you should be grateful to is your wife. It was her who braved her pregnancy to redress your grievances. It was her good deeds and good deeds that allowed you to regain your life."
After hearing this, Wang Hao looked at the beautiful and kind-hearted Mrs. Wang and promised with tears in his eyes: "Madam, when you wait for me to come back, I will change my ways and never let you down again."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Mrs. Wang shed tears but smiled happily.
Jiang Shu let out a sigh of relief after hearing their conversation.
If Wang Hao can really change his ways, it would be a blessing in disguise.
"Okay, it's time to admit him to prison. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it next time we visit him." The officer forcibly took Wang Hao away.
Wang Hao was beaten fifty times a few days ago, and the clothes on his back were still stained with blood, and he was still seriously injured.
Mrs. Wang was so distressed that she chased him out, gave him a bag of money, and asked the government official to hire a doctor to treat Wang Hao's injuries.
"Is this why you came to me?" Yu Zheng stood up and walked towards Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu shook his head and explained: "I just happened to bump into her in front of the Fuyin Mansion. Thinking that Mrs. Wang had helped me, I also helped her."
"Of course, I have no intention of seeking favoritism from the prince. I just want to find out the truth and deal with it fairly."
Hearing this, Yu Zheng raised his dark eyebrows slightly, put his hands behind his hands and said with a serious face: "Human life is at stake, I will not show favoritism."
"Yeah." Jiang Shu agreed deeply.
No matter who it is, those who commit malicious murder should pay for their lives with their lives.
"So you came here specifically to see me?" Yu Zheng asked again, with a dark light floating in his dark eyes.
