Chapter 243

The county cannot be without coroners. Although Liu Yanchun is an apprentice, it is better to keep it than not.

So, he failed to follow Chen Yuan to Chaozhou.

There is no need to bring Mrs. He with me if you want to go to Chaozhou to investigate the case.

Mrs. He is not the person involved, so she can’t help other than causing trouble, and Chen Yuan doesn’t want to be angry with her.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the county government, Chen Yuan pulled his little donkey and set off with Liao Zhongzhi.

Liao Zhongzhi looked at the little donkey, "Can Zhuozuo not ride a horse?"

The difficulty of riding a horse lies in overcoming psychological pressure. Chen Yuan honestly explained, "No."

Liao Zhongzhi was in a hurry, "This case changed a lot. Chen Zhuo left the donkey in the yamen, so we went to rent a fast-footed carriage."

The donkey's foot journey is only 100 miles a day, which is far less fast than the horse. Chen Yuan didn't know that the case Liao Zhongzhi said was not the other case, but he also understood the other party's meaning.

"Okay." He asked the donkey to the yamen runner Xiao Liu to take it back, and Chen Yuan took Liao Zhongzhi to rent a carriage.

I rushed to hurry up and arrived at Jinyang, Chaozhou District, one and a half days.

Jinyang County is at least the capital, which is much more prosperous and rich than Weiyu County, which is located on the border.

But the two had no intention of having fun and went directly to the prefect's office.

It happened to meet the prefect of the upper court and promoted Huo Shuliang to the court.

Only one person died in this case, and the impact was not great, so the onlookers did not reach the point where the people who came to watch had blocked the main entrance.

Chen Yuan and Liao Zhongzhi squeezed and squeezed into the front row.

Among the onlookers were students wearing uniform white background and black-edged shirts and scarves, who should be students from the state school.

Another group of people also wore the same style of clothes, but blue coarse cloth and brown, and small bags of bags of the same color. This kind of servant dressed up as a servant of the Xie family.

The Xie family servants surrounded several men in silk gowns, and they thought they were Xie Jiyong's relatives.

Although I also learned about some of the case from Mrs. He, what Mrs. He said contained too many subjective emotions and had little reference significance.

Although Huo Shuliang is a scholar, the scholar just does not kneel when he meets the magistrate. At this moment, the magistrate in the hall is the magistrate, so he has to kneel.

Chen Yuan could only see one back.

He kneeled upright without losing his literary character.

Fang Zhizhou, "Huo Shuliang, what the witness said just now, do you recognize it or not?"

Huo Shuliang, "The young student recognizes it."

With fame and fortune, there is no need to regard himself as a villain, and he is suspected of murder. Huo Shuliang did not call himself a student in class.

"They all saw Xie Jiyong beat you, but you didn't fight back at that time. After you went back to the house, you tossed and turned and went to Shuyuan to read and relax. But I met Xie Jiyong in Shuyuan again, and you and him happened again.

During the argument and fight, you killed Xie Jiyong with the dagger you carried with you, right?" Fang Zhigong was thin, not like a corrupt official who was fat and had a big ear. He had a very restrained and shrewd look, nor was he

Be as cautious as magistrate Guan.

Huo Shuliang's tone sounded anxious, "The young actor doesn't recognize it."

Fang Zhizhou, "I pity you. I think you are a scholar and I don't want to punish you, but the weapon has been found."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the yamen runner took the pallet up.

However, there was no abnormal change in Huo Shuliang's face. Fang Zhizhou snorted coldly, "I can't die until the Yellow River. I didn't expect that you were buried in the mountain behind the college with a weapon wrapped in rags, and you were still found."

He lifted the covered red cloth.

A double-edged dagger was exposed to everyone.

There were dry red and black blood on the blade, which looked very creepy.

The Xie family was very angry when they saw it, and the expression on Huo Shuliang's face also fluctuated, and he looked very surprised.

Fang Zhizhou pointed to the cloth stacked beside the dagger, "This cloth is your foot cloth?"

Huo Shuliang frowned, but did not speak.

"If you don't say it, I won't be able to find it?" Fang Zhizhou looked gloomy. "After Zhao Bin, who is in the same room as you, it is your foot cloth, right?"

Huo Shuliang closed his eyes and responded, "...yes"

"And your classmates recognize this knife. It was your mother who created the dagger for you to defend yourself by rushing to the road, but you used it to blood-blade your classmates." Fang Zhizhou was very disappointed.

He patted the agglomeration with heartache, "It is really unfortunate that Zhou learned from you, who is like a person who is in the same family. Qiu Jie is close to you, but you have committed such a sin. Huo Shuliang, do you admit it or not!"

"Master, Bu is the young master, and the dagger is the young master, but people are not killed by Xiao master. Someone killed someone and framed me. I hope you can see clearly!"

Huo Shuliang knocked to the end, his forehead tightly against the blue bricks in the lobby, and his figure was still as stable as relaxed.

These words made the Xie family very angry.

"Huo Shuliang, my fourth brother's knowledge is not the same as you. You two often compete for each other. This time you took the opportunity to mock your fourth brother for being unclear in his life and unknown origin. My fourth brother is so angry that he shouldn't beat you up.

But you shouldn't have killed him. A person like you, you have read the books of sages into the dog's belly!"

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at it. The person who was excited about scolding was a wealthy and half-white Xie family.

Two middle-aged men on the left and right pulled him, "Brother, stop scolding, disturbing the court, and affecting the case trial of the magistrate!"

"The magistrate will give the fourth brother a fair one!"

Bang

"quiet!"

Fang Zhizhou glanced at the three brothers of the Xie family, and then looked at the man who could not bow down again, "Huo Shuliang, do you think this magistrate is a confused official who cares about human life? You are also from Weiyu County, you know Chen Yuan and Chen Corps."

Huo Shuliang looked up in shock and moved forward two steps excitedly, "Is Chen Zhuzuo here?"

?

Chen Yuan heard a look of surprise from his tone.

But she had never seen him.

"Your case is not necessary to invite Chen Junzhu to come. You should be more familiar with Chen Junzhu's fingerprint verification method than me. After Weiyu County reported this method, the state immediately sent someone to Weiyu County to verify and study.

So, our state government coroner will do this method.”

Fang Zhizhou looked at Huo Shuliang with regret, "Do you understand what I mean?"

How could Huo Shuliang not understand? Nah, "Sir, the coroner in the state capital tested the young student's fingerprint on the dagger?"

"Yes." As soon as Fang Zhizhou raised his hand, another yamen runner took out his fingerprint card.

Fang Zhizhou asked the yamen runners to take the fingerprint card to him to check it out.

After Huo Shuliang read it, "This is Xiaosheng's dagger, with Xiaosheng's fingerprints on it. It's really normal. Someone must have stolen Xiaosheng's knife and killed Xie Jiyong and blamed me."

"Huo Shuliang, cloth, dagger, fingerprint, testimony, pointing at you one by one, and you are still quibbling!"

"Sir, please make sure that you make the decision for the young student and keep the young student innocent." Huo Shuliang finally lost his innocence and kept kowtowing.

Seeing that he still refused, the governor closed his eyes with a pity, "I think you don't hit the wall and look back, and you'll be punished."

"yes!"

Two yamen runners pressed Huo Shuliang with killing sticks.

The other two yamen runners took hemp ropes and tied bamboo sticks into the zipper, stepped forward and pulled his hands, stuffing fingers into the zipper.

Sentences are generally used by women.

But Huo Shuliang was a scholar, and it was an insult to the buttocks in the classroom.

Hands are very important for scholars. At this moment, the governor uses punishment, which is not wrong in public or private.
