"Just make sure it's your daughter." Wang Xingmin nodded and looked at everyone present: "This case involves the Chengyang Marquis Mansion. In order to prevent people from thinking that I am partial to the powerful, I have decided to let the widow perform an autopsy in court. , to show justice. Pass it on."
Du pulled Cui Yunfeng's sleeve and said in a tone that only two people could hear: "She has been in jail for the past few days, but she has not endured hardship."
What kind of place was the prison? It was a dirty and smelly place. It was a home for cockroaches and mice. As soon as I sat down, my clothes became dirty and smelly. But Xu Wanning's clothes were still as white as new, just like when she went out that day.
While she's in jail, there's still someone there to wash her clothes?
Looking at her complexion, she was rosy and shiny, but she looked like she had not eaten or drank.
Cui Yunfeng thought this was all a minor problem: "Mom, don't worry."
There was a smile on his lips.
If the autopsy is performed in court, nothing can be faked.
This corpse was of the same height, build, and age. It was also decomposed and nothing could be found.
They insisted that the body was Li Jixiang's, who could say otherwise?
Unless Li Jixiang appears!
But Xu Wanning has been locked up for so many days, and Li Jixiang hasn't appeared yet, which proves that Xu Wanning must have something going on in his heart!
Wu Zuo came up quickly and examined me for almost two quarters of an hour. His expression was very strange.
"Sir, the inspection has been completed by the official. This is the autopsy report of the official." Wu Zuo handed over an autopsy report.
After Wang Xingmin looked at it, his expression was also very strange, and he looked at Li Gensheng and his wife in the hall: "I will ask you again, are you sure that this is your daughter Li Jixiang?"
Li Gensheng didn't even think about it and insisted: "Sir, she is the daughter of the common people!"
Qian also said, "We will never admit our mistake, she is the one."
Wang Xingmin sneered, threw the autopsy report on the table, changed his previous pleasant expression, and became furious with a dark face: "You said she was your daughter, but why does this autopsy report say that this is a male corpse!"
Li Gensheng: "..."
Cui Yunfeng: "..."
What?
Male corpse?
How can it be!
How could the corpse sent by Chen Yuan be a male corpse!
"Li Gensheng." Wang Xingmin sneered: "You insist that the young lady of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion killed your daughter, and you also insist that the corpse is your daughter. Now the corpse is male, how do you explain it?"
How can it be!
Li Gensheng slumped on the ground, staring at the rotting corpse.
its not right!
That's not what the other party said. They asked him to insist that the body was their daughter, and said that he would make all the arrangements later and let him wait to collect the money, but it was over before it started.
impossible!
"Speak!" Wang Xingmin patted the gavel.
Xu Wanning also wanted to laugh.
No wonder Wang Xingmin just asked her to stand here.
Li Gensheng rolled his eyes and explained: "Sir, the common people went to the Hou Mansion several times to look for my daughter, but the people in the Hou Mansion kicked us out and refused to let us see our daughter. We couldn't see our daughter, so we came to complain."
"Since I just haven't seen your daughter, why do you insist that this body is your daughter?" Wang Xingmin also imitated him and asked.
This is not directed at the Li family and his wife, but some questions about handling the case. Wang Xingmin needs to ask clearly.
It's like someone tells a lie. To fulfill the lie, he must tell another lie.
Tell too many lies, true or false, and there will always be one lie that will be exposed.
Father, like son.
"Do you want to bite Li Jixiang to death and then pour dirty water on her?" Wang Xingmin pointed at Xu Wanning: "You two, who is going to explain to me?"
"Whether the person died or not is another matter. They either bit him to death or killed him without seeing the person. If they killed someone and hid the body, wouldn't they also blame someone else for killing him?" Some people onlookers became suspicious.
"This case is really hard to tell. Is the person dead or not?"
I guess it can only be resolved if the person involved comes forward.
Li Gensheng and Qian looked at each other.
Mrs. Qian understood and turned around to kowtow to Xu Wanning: "Young madam, I'm sorry, we admitted the wrong person, so we won't sue. Please let us go for the sake of Ji Xiang who has served you for so many years! "
Li Gensheng also kowtowed: "Yes, we made a mistake. Madam, I'm sorry."
They kowtowed to Xu Wanning in an attempt to persuade Xu Wanning to let them go.
Wang Xingmin got angry first.
"Are you treating the county government office like a market, where you can bargain, slander, and come and leave as you please?"
The sound of the shockwave made Li Gensheng and his wife tremble in fear.
Wang Xingmin shouted: "Come here, torture! First hit twenty big boards."
Wang Xingmin has been a parent official in Yancheng for many years. He has a rule that if he can avoid punishment, he will not be punished.
Of course, except for the most vicious gangsters and murderers, they should be beaten first. When ordinary people committed crimes, Wang Xingmin only told the facts and justified them, allowing them to deal with the crimes truthfully. He had a good reputation in Yancheng.
Punishment is only a deterrent, not the purpose.
But today he was extremely angry.
Wang Xingmin had to do whatever was arranged by Governor Pei, whom he tried so hard to curry favor with.
For the sake of his future, Wang Xingmin has no regrets about violating some principles.
The yamen officers stepped forward, arrested Li Gensheng and Qian, pressed them on the torture bench, and hit them hard with the stick.
The stick hit his flesh, causing Li Gensheng to cry and howl in pain. If twenty big boards were to hit him, he would still be alive.
"Sir, I say, I say!"
Wang Xingmin pursed his lips and waved his hand: "Stop."
A stick can make people tell the truth. Wang Xingmin did not regret it at all, "Speak."
"Someone told us that our daughter had been killed by Xu Wanning. They also said that the government would dig up a body after a while, so that we could definitely confirm that it was our daughter." Li Gensheng's butt was on fire and he grinned in pain.
"Who is that person?"
Li Gensheng shook his head: "We haven't seen him before. We were separated by a curtain and couldn't see clearly. But sir, you really can't blame us. We couldn't see our daughter, so we agreed to that person!"
"We also miss our daughter very much! Sir, please be considerate of us as parents! The young lady won't let us see Jixiang, so we can only do this!" Mrs. Qian whimpered.
Wang Xingmin shook his head, "Since this is not Li Jixiang's body, then your accusation of murder against the young lady of Chengyang Houfu is not valid. Xu Wanning is not guilty. Madam Xu, you can go home."
As for who instigated the couple, he slowly investigated and first sent the people that Governor Pei had asked him to take care of back home safely.
Xu Wanning really left without saying a word.
but……
She said, "Master Wang, I have two things to say."
"Ma'am, please speak."
Xu Wanning faced Li Gensheng and his wife, "I never stopped you from seeing Jixiang. It was Jixiang who didn't want to see you."
"Why doesn't she see us? We are her parents."
"She is only thirteen years old, but you want to sell her to a forty-year-old man who has killed two of his wives. She is crazy, so she would go back to the family that squeezed her dry to help her brother marry a wife and raise a nephew."
