Chapter 150: Fang Ming's Evidence
The arraignment location is located in the County Magistrate's Mansion, which is large enough and is very close to the Kuaiji Palace. It is convenient for those living in the palace to walk here.
Li Linghuai accompanied Tingwei Shi. Tingwei Ping walked slowly, no one spoke. He was thinking about his conversation with Zhang Lu, He Shao, Li Lingrong and others. Although something was vaguely wrong in his heart, he had already embarked on this path and could not regret it no matter how he looked at it.
When he walked to the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, he saw many people wandering here, most of whom were worn-out civilians, and immediately frowned: "What are these people here for?"
"It should be civilians nearby. Today I am going to interrogate the King of the Prince. It's nothing they can come here." Tingwei Shi said slowly.
"This will inevitably disrupt official duties. Moreover, many children of aristocratic families are coming here today. If something happens, it will be difficult to deal with." Li Linghuai turned around and explained to the people behind him, "Let someone look at them and don't let them get close to the county magistrate's mansion."
"Yes." Wu Zun left.
Li Linghuai felt relieved and entered the county magistrate's mansion. Under the guidance of a group of soldiers, he entered a large room with soldiers on both sides, with only a seat in the middle. Wang Ningzhi, dressed in black clothes, sat on the seat, calm and contented, as if he didn't care about the arraignment.
Going further ahead, there is a huge screen. When you see Li Linghuai, you will understand.
It happened that someone came to his ear and said, "Eunuch, start to interrogate. There is a door behind this room. If someone comes, I will lead it into the back of the screen."
Li Linghuai nodded and pointed at the Tingwei Shi. Tingwei Ping signaled them to go over, and then he bypassed Wang Ningzhi and sat in the main seat of the interrogation.
Looking at each other, Li Linghuai frowned, and Wang Ningzhi narrowed his eyes.
Bang!
The gavel fell high.
"Wang Ningzhi, do you know your guilt?"
...
Wang Ningzhi is also an ordinary person. He will be afraid, happy, afraid, and excited. He will have the emotions that others will have, but he is a person who is not good at expressing himself. In many cases, even if he has something in his heart, he will not show it on his face.
He was imprisoned in a county prison. Although he had explained many matters outside, he would definitely follow his way if nothing unexpected happened. However, no one could contact him in a county prison. He didn't know whether the direction of the matter was as he expected. However, this was a matter of life. He would worry, but worrying would not lead to other emotions. So from the moment when Li Linghuai came in and sat down, he looked calm and calm, suppressing his worries. In any case, things were sure, either good or bad. Since it was revealed immediately, why did he show fear and make people laugh at it?
This is his logic.
With a sound of the arson, Wang Ningzhi raised his head, squinted his eyes and stared at Li Linghuai, and said, "What's the crime?"
"You sent someone to do the case of the Xu family's destruction?"
"Do you have evidence?"
"I naturally have evidence, but you are the governor of Kuaiji County and a son of the Wang family in Langya. Thinking of the reputation of Wang family, I will give you a chance. As long as you admit it, I will plead with the court and give you a lenient resignation." Li Linghuai said righteously.
Wang Ningzhi shook his head, "If you want to add a crime, you have no choice... The emperor's intention seems to be insufficient evidence. He wants to use my fear and admit that I am the murderer under your own causes? Tsk... I don't know if you are stupid or I am stupid, or you have reduced the IQ of the person who was being judged-"
"you……"
Before Li Linghuai finished speaking, Wang Ningzhi interrupted him: "It is useless to say more, please give evidence."
His face turned dark. When he heard Wang Ningzhi's obvious contempt, Li Linghuai came from it and sneered and said, "Bring Fang Ming up."
A moment later, Fang Ming, who was dressed in thin clothes, was brought in by the armored soldiers and knelt on the ground, a little far from Wang Ningzhi. When he knelt down, he looked at Wang Ningzhi's eyes, but directly saw the coldness that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He suddenly shook his voice and said, "Fang Ming has seen Li Jun, two court magistrates, and you all listen to the trial."
Only then did Wang Ningzhi have the opportunity to look at this man named Fang Ming. He was a little old, but he looked very thin. During the cold autumn, his clothes were also thin, but soon, he withdrew his gaze. Fang Ming disappeared for a while, obviously because he was seen by Li Linghuaizhao, but he still allowed him to wear thin clothes, which was obviously to gain sympathy... Sure enough, looking around, among the people including Tingwei, his eyes were a little strange.
"Fang Ming, do you know the people around you?" Li Linghuai asked.
"Recognize... I know it, it is the Erlang of the Wang family." Fang Ming said in a trembling voice.
"What's your relationship with him?"
Seeing that Li Linghuai was still asking questions little by little, Wang Ningzhi seemed to be watching, and looked at Fang Ming stammeringly. It was not until Li Linghuai asked him clearly that Fang Ming had a relationship with him and asked the Tingwei to hear the trial that he finally reached the topic.
"Tell me, what did you do that night the hurricane hit?"
As soon as these words came out, the noise that had been heard just now disappeared in a moment. The screen behind Li Linghuai could also watch the figure swaying. It was obvious that someone was approaching a little, worried that he would not be able to hear clearly.
"...We went to the Xu family farm in Yixing County, and under the leadership of Han Ziwen, Xu Heng and Puxiang Zhenren, we... killed people there. I heard that the Xu family Yixing had a bad relationship with Wang Erlang, and Wang Erlang was provoked by Xu Zhen, the head of the Xu family. In anger, we... killed him."
There was a sound of breathing behind the screen, and Fang Ming spoke in detail, making them feel as if they were empathetic when they heard it.
"Can there be evidence?"
"Yes." Fang Ming looked at the prison guards on the side. After Li Linghuai's reply, the prison guards on the side presented the small box to the court guards on both sides to check. After the box was opened, a jade pendant covered with cracks was lying inside.
"What is this?" Tingwei Ping said in surprise.
"Yes, it's the close-fitting jade pendant of the leader Han Ziwen. This is the jade pendant he has worn since he was a child." Fang Ming said, his eyes sore and tears rolled down.
"Why does the jade pendant that never leaves her body appear here and break?" Tingwei Ping continued, obviously he was not as informed as Li Linghuai.
"After killing Xu Zhen, because Han Ziqing, the brother of Han Ziqing, was mistakenly killed by Puxiang Zhenren, the two of them fought and eventually died together - the envoy, which is why Han Ziwen and Puxiang died after that night." It seemed too sad that they had a little more courage. Fang Ming pointed to Wang Ningzhi and said, "All this is because of Wang Erlang! It was all planned by him. Envoy, Tingwei, if you don't believe it, you can call Xu Heng, the refugee general, to ask questions, he can..."
"Report!"
A soldier suddenly appeared at the door with panic on his face, "Eunuch, there are so many people outside... you go and take a look!"
