Chapter 408: Suspected Murder Case [(2)]
“Get some wet towels and put them on the shelf, ready for the Master to wipe his sweat later.”
“Put two chilled sour plum soups on the case.”
“Remember to ice a few watermelons in the well; our Master would prefer this one.”
There was still some time before 1 p.m., but the Yamen attendants were already busy in the lobby, sweating profusely one by one, but their faces were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
On the contrary, there were a few shirtless and wandering idle people in the hall, their faces as black as ashes from the bottom of a pot.
As soon as he saw the mess outside being tidied up, the Yamen attendant went to the side hall and knocked on the wall with an iron ruler. He shouted in a loud and grand voice, "You guys, wake up! Hurry up, put on your clothes, and come out on duty.”
“Got it, Boss Li.”
“Hasn't the time arrived yet? Why are you urging us?”
“Oh my goodness, isn't this goddess weather going to heat people to death?”
The side hall was filled with complaints, and the ”idle people” cursed and slowly put on soap robes and square scarves. They also took water and firesticks from under the wall and angrily left the side hall.
Originally, these were all unlucky people on duty today. No wonder they were so carefree just now, but no one envied them.
One should know that this Yamen servant's soap robe was made of coarse cloth, which was much hotter than the silk texture of the official uniform. Especially when they stand in two places, they might not be able to move for a moment. The taste of it was unbearable.
When they arrived in the lobby, Boss Li urged them again, "There's a bucket of well water at the door. Let's go wash our faces and wake up from the nap. When we go through the hall, give some energy. If anyone dares to show off or make a mistake in front of the Master, don't blame me for not showing mercy.”
The Government Officials responded weakly and placed their water and fire sticks on the silent plaque, then rolled their arms and sleeves to wash up.
There was still a distance from the bucket of well water, and two Yamen attendants suddenly stood still, their four eyes shining brightly. How could there be any hint of weakness?
When the lobby was just being decorated, Xu-Shi was taken outside again. At this moment, she was sweating from the scorching sun, and her lush green dress had already soaked through most of it. It was tight and wrinkled, wrapped in the unique, seductive curves of a young woman.
Moreover, half of her sleeve was torn off, revealing a white porcelain-like arm, like a peeping leopard in a tube, like a leaf knowing autumn. It became more and more imaginative, only filling the spring light at the bottom of the skirt with a thousand charming thoughts.
So and so, how could they still need any well water?
The Government Officials stood up one by one in high spirits and chattered loudly, “How could such a beautiful little woman murder her husband?”
“Nonsense! How many ugly women have murdered their husbands these days?”
“Brothers, if the Lord uses torture, later on, you need to hold onto me first. I've never seen such a delicate white woman before.”
“Get out of the way! It's been set that I'll be in prison today.”
Speaking of the commotion in the room, they unknowingly insulted Xu-Shi several hundred times with their eyes. Only then did everyone, under the urging of Boss Li, reluctantly returned to the lobby.
Due to this delay, as soon as Sun Shaozong had just taken his place in front, he strode out of the back hall and sat down behind the case. He then waited for Qiu Yunfei and Sun Chengye, each holding a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, to reach the audience seats. He then gave a sudden shout, "Someone, bring the plaintiff and defendant to the court.”
WeiWu
The Yamen Guards, who were just covered in obscene faces, immediately shouted out righteously.
Amidst the tinkling sound of gongs and drums, seven or eight people, male, female, old, and young, all appeared to be filled with righteous indignation. It was obvious that it was Song Changgeng's Uncle's family.
Before these few people could kneel in disorder, the two Yamen guards escorted Xu-Shi in again.
As he spoke, he signaled at Sun Chengye.
Sun Chengye immediately spoke up and said, "According to the laws and regulations of this court, killing one's own husband should be punished by hanging, execution, and waist cutting as appropriate.”
After a pause, he made a summary, “All are executions punishment!”
Upon hearing these words, Xu-Shi suddenly fell limp to the ground but then suddenly bounced back, disregarding the sudden tremors in her chest. She urgently said, "Your Excellency! I have evidence, I have evidence.”
“Because this thief knows everything about my family and his appearance seems different from my husband's, I didn’t suspect that he was a fake until last night.”
Speaking of this, Xu-Shi struggled a little before finally gritting her teeth and saying, "It wasn't until last night when I shared the bed with him that something suddenly happened. My husband's object was very thick and short, but he had a slender one...”
“Even if we haven't seen each other in four years, that object... Wouldn't have changed in length or thickness out of thin air.”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden uproar in the hall. Not to mention the Tian family; even the Yamen attendants on both sides couldn't help but whisper.
No wonder she had previously concealed such private matters. If it weren't for the moment when her life was at stake, who would have told anyone else?
“What a bitch.”
Sun Shaozong was waiting to stop the commotion of the people under his command. Suddenly, someone jumped out from behind Tian Dahai, but this time he was a young man in his early twenties. He heard him speak harshly and scold, "You have already killed Brother Changgeng; how can you still trample on him like this?”
“Brother Changgeng has been home for over two months now, and you are a serious couple. How did you only discover something strange last night?”
“Besides, you bitch secretly colluded with many men while Brother Changgeng was away. You measured those objects all day, and I'm afraid you won't remember what Brother Changgeng looked like, will you?”
“You... You... You...”
“Xu-Shi.”
Xu-Shi's face blushed with embarrassment and anger, and as she was about to argue for a few words, she heard Sun Shaozong ask in a deep voice, "Don't pay attention to this person's foul language. First, tell me, what is the difference between what you just said and what it usually looks like?”
“What is the usual appearance?”
Xu-Shi was stunned for a moment before realizing what this meant. She blushed and shook her head, saying, "It doesn't seem to make much difference, but when he went to bed...”
“Ha!”
Sun Shaozong chuckled and said in half-genuine anger, "Now that Song Changgeng is dead without evidence, but you're talking about the way he looked when he went to bed?! Isn't it because you wanted to exonerate yourself, so you deliberately amused me?”
“I dare not, I dare not!”
Xu-Shi was intimidated and grabbed the ground with her head, crying out, "It was really because I realized something was wrong last night that I argued with him.”
She wept and cried out for injustice here, but everyone in the Tian family spoke loudly and praised the ”Heavenly Master.” “Your divine eyes were like lightning, and you could see through this poisonous woman's sophistry at a glance.”
Pa~
As the two sides were arguing and entangled, Sun Shaozong suddenly hit the wooden block and said solemnly, "Xu-Shi, you said it was not right to argue with him. Did you mention the matter of ”impersonation” in your words at that time?”
“Yes, yes.”
Xu-Shi seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "When I was arguing with him, I mentioned this several times and happened to be overheard by a beggar outside the door. If you don't believe me, just ask that beggar and you'll know.”
