Chapter 34 Confrontation
A few days later, in the court, the Poyang Inner Historian Liu Yan was hearing the case, and today there was only one case, that is, the case of Ma Qinglin, the owner of the restaurant, who often came to the restaurant, plotting against the rebellion.
At the beginning of the year, a wealthy clan Liu Jinggong in Ancheng County caused chaos and was later pacified by the official army. Liu Jinggong and his accomplices were captured alive and taken to Jiankang and beheaded for public display.
Now, some people have come forward to the official, saying that the owner of the restaurant in Poyang City is often brought to the house, Ma Qinglin, who is a member of Liu Jinggong, intending to murder the imperial court's official, and as an internal supporter, he assists the demon party in attacking Poyang.
The person who came out of his head often came to the restaurant and was Lin Xia.
This case was first investigated by Zhang Xing, the county magistrate, and locked up the relevant persons and relatives and were imprisoned. After some search, it is now full of evidence and physical evidence.
Ma Qinglin and his subordinates have confessed that they had a wrongdoing, but the only one claimed to have an injustice, which was Li Li, the Yuliang official of the county party committee.
According to the witness, Li Li was instructed by Ma Qinglin and encouraged his fellow village to flee at the beginning of this year and defected to Liu Jing's demon party.
He was instructed by Ma Qinglin and approached the officials' family and tried to poison the official kitchen and kill the imperial officials.
Li Li denied these crimes and demanded to confront Lin Xia, the leader. Now, after Poyang's internal historian interrogated the criminals one by one, Li Li and Lin Xia were asked to confront them in the hall.
At this moment, Li Li, who had a pale face, barely stood at the stairs. He had suffered a lot recently and was whipped to death by the whip. He was in a stinking prison again, and a stinking smell was emitted all over his body.
Lin Xia, a restaurant clerk who took You Jun to arrest people that day, dressed cleanly and looked at Li Li with great momentum.
The officials present did not think that the case would be repeated, because they had all the evidence and evidence. Even if a mere minor official was stubborn, he could not change anything.
But if the chief official wants to handle the case as an ironclad case, of course he has to go through the motions and give the prisoner a chance to speak, so that the parents' officials can "listen to both sides and be clear."
Listen to the stubborn little official's cry, then he knew it with emotion and reason, so that the other party would admit his guilt, so that the case would be provoked by the censors after it was sent to the capital.
At this moment, Lin Xia looked at Li Li as if she was looking at a dead person.
Of course, he knew that Li Li was wronged, and he also knew that Li Li was beaten to pieces and survived the punishment test, so he refused to plead guilty.
To be honest, he admired Li Li very much, but this was useless, because Ma Qinglin and others had confessed, and now that everyone has all the evidence and physical evidence, Li Li could not prove his innocence even if he was full of words.
Lin Xia looked at Ma Qinglin and others kneeling on the ground behind Li Li, and felt more and more proud: Do you think I am the only one to confront me? Ma Qinglin and others have all been asked, and you have the ability to refute them one by one!
Anyway, no matter what you say, I will ask you if there is any evidence or physical evidence.
Li Li has been imprisoned in the county jail since he was arrested that day, so Lin Xia does not think that this kid has the opportunity to collect any evidence, and it is impossible to overturn the ironclad evidence.
As he thought about it, Lin Xia was proud of the whole thing. The whole thing was planned by Manager Lu Quan and Lu, and asked him to make his debut. As long as Ma Qinglin's family was finished, Manager Lu would get a considerable reward at the restaurant.
Not only that, the handsome young lady in the outdoor room where Ma Qinglin raised belonged to him.
The beauty, money was about to be obtained, Lin Xia was very excited, so when she looked at Li Li, her guilt disappeared without a trace, and she even smiled slightly.
At this moment, Li Li also smiled slightly and asked: "I have evidence, that stone turtle!"
"What, what stone turtle?" Lin Xia felt inexplicable when he heard this. He thought Li Li would tell him some details of the case, but the result...
"One-eyed stone turtle." Li Li said, comparing the size with his hands: "It's bigger than a slap, as if it's alive, with just one eye on the forehead."
Lin Xia felt puzzled: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Then he asked back: "You said the stone turtle? Where is it?"
"Hehe, in the well!" Li Li said as he looked at Liu Yan, who was in the upper head: "Ming Mansion! Lin Xia has a stone turtle, taken by a villain, and used it as Xuanwu in the temple, and put it in the well rented in the courtyard in the villain's city!"
"The stone turtle carved with tyrant words is enough to prove that Lin Xia is a member of the demon thief."
After hearing this, Liu Yan looked at Zhang Xing, the lieutenant You Jun, who assisted in the trial. Zhang Xing took the list and took a closer look, and replied: "Mingfu, my subordinates have not found any one-eyed stone turtle in the well of the small courtyard where Li Li lives."
"This is impossible! I put the stone turtle in the well!" After Li Li said that, he asked Liu Yan: "Mingfu, please send someone to the villain's rented residence and search the well."
When Lin Xia heard this, he felt more and more confused because he had never had a one-eyed stone turtle.
The sudden clue may change the case. Liu Yan quickly arranged for someone to set off to search the well before the incident, and then asked Li Li: "What's going on?"
"Mingfu, this is the case..." Li Li began to tell a 'secret'.
Before, he often came to the restaurant to deliver fish, but accidentally saw Lin Xia, a restaurant clerk, putting a stone turtle into the well in the backyard of the restaurant.
At that time, he thought this was Xuanwu, but after all, people often put stone turtles into the well to ensure that the water is clean and delicious.
There is also a well in the small courtyard where Li Li rented it. The well water is a little turbid. After the water is brought up, it will have to stand for a while before it becomes clear. It is said that if Xuanwu in the well is placed, the water quality will improve.
However, Zhenjing Xuanwu had to pay for it, so Li Li, who was short of money, began to think about stealing the stone turtle that Lin Xia had put.
Put it in the well in your residence.
There are words on the stone turtle, but Li Li can't recognize them completely, but he can barely recognize a few words.
One is the word "Golden Sword is auspicious", and the other is the word "Lin Xia".
The stone turtle is engraved with "Lin Xia", which is nothing more than indicating the ownership of the stone turtle, so Li Li doesn't care. But now I think about it, it's a bit suspicious, because "Golden Knife" refers to the word "Liu"?
An Cheng Liu Jinggong isn’t he the leader of the demon party?
After hearing what Li Li said, Liu Yan was thinking, and Lin Xia was anxious: "I have never had a stone turtle!"
Li Li sneered: "If there is, you will know in a while."
The yard where Li Li rented was not far from the county government. The people sent by Liu Yan came back soon and indeed brought back a wet stone turtle. An official copied the words carved on the back of the stone turtle and presented it to him.
After Liu Yan read it, he asked the assistants to circulate and copy the text. Liu Decai, the assistant who was responsible for recording, was able to see the content on it, but it was sixteen words:
Lanling is dead, and the peace is established. In Renxu, the golden sword is very auspicious.
This is the slogan of Liu Jinggong Demon Party.
The year of Renxu was this year (the eighth year of Datong), and Liu De learned that the current royal family was the Xiao family of Lanling. Liu Jinggong, who rebelled in Ancheng, Jiangzhou at the beginning of the year, was born in Ancheng Liu family.
Liu Jinggong, who was born in the Liu family, had the means to seduce people. He claimed that he had a golden tortoise in his hand. If the wisher prayed sincerely, the golden tortoise would definitely come true.
In order to win people's hearts, Liu Jinggong also said that the golden tortoise can transform into silver tortoise, copper tortoise and stone tortoise, which will bring wealth to people.
So Liu Jinggong gave these silver turtles, copper turtles and stone turtles engraved with characters to the leaders of all sizes to win people's hearts.
As Liu Decai thought about it, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. He felt his heart beating violently, and he muttered in his heart: Old Li, Lao Li, did your Sanlang provoke some gods? How could he encounter such a thing?
Zhang Xing, the Wei-wei of You, who assisted in handling the case, also saw this content.
Zhang Xing knew Lanling, what An Cheng meant, and the Golden Knife...
Refers to Mao Jin Dao Liu.
The Mao Jindao Liu involves the "prophecy of the Jindao". This prophecy has been circulating since the Jin Dynasty, saying that "the Liu family should rise."
What is Liu? Of course, Liu is the one Liu of the royal family of the Han Dynasty.
There is no doubt that this is a sentence that encourages rebellion, which plagiarized the slogan of "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky."
The slogan is engraved on the stone turtle. The person holding the stone turtle is the demon thief.
The meaning that Zhang Xing could see was also seen by other officials, so everyone fell into deep thought and looked at Lin Xia.
The reason for this is that the stone turtle has also engraved words on the abdomen and has been copied onto the paper, which is to be granted the title of Marquis of Poyang, Linxia.
The officials present knew what this meant.
Because when Liu Jinggong's demon party was destroyed, the government found various fake seals from his leaders, and the above was "Issue (place name) Hou Moumou (personal name)"
Lin Xia was worried when she saw everyone staring at her, but she didn't know what was on the paper, but she only knew that Li Li's counter-argument seemed to be successful.
That's right, it's just a false alarm, because he doesn't have a stone turtle at all.
How could Li Li make it real if the stone turtle that does not exist?
However, the stone turtle was placed in front of him, and Li Li made up things that were not foolish, it seemed that they would come true?
The development of the situation was beyond Lin Xia's expectations. This confrontation was completely different from what was expected in advance, so he didn't know how to respond and could only emphasize that this was counter-argument.
Seeing that the doubts on Liu Yan's face became more and more obvious, Zhang Xing suddenly said: "Mingfu, I have questions from my subordinates, and I want to ask Li Li."
Liu Yan nodded: "You ask."
Zhang Xingwen looked at Li Li and asked: "I clearly sent someone to check the well carefully, but why didn't I find anything at that time, but now a one-eyed stone turtle suddenly appears?"
Without waiting for Li Li to answer, Zhang Xing asked and answered: "The reason is very simple, you still have accomplices!"
"Although you were imprisoned in the county prison, your accomplice still lurked in the city. In order to get rid of you and to counter-arse Lin Xia, your accomplice made a stone turtle, carved the words and Lin Xia's name, and then put it secretly in the well."
"So..." Zhang Xing said to Liu Yan: "Please punish Li Li, so he must find his followers out to avoid harming the people of Poyang!"
Lin Xia suddenly realized what Zhang Xing said, and quickly agreed: "That's right! The villain has never had a one-eyed stone turtle. This is Li Li's counter-article. He needs help from his party. He must have a party lurking in the city!"
"Shang Zuo, the villain hasn't finished speaking. Why did Shang Zuo come to a conclusion?" Li Li said, "Shang Zuo sent someone to search the well. There were many stones at the bottom of the well. The stone turtle was sinking in it. He just poked the stick casually. Where can I poke the difference?"
"You are still quibbling!" Zhang Xing pointed at Li Li and asked loudly: "When did I say that I only poke the bottom with a stick? Someone went down to touch it carefully, but you still dare to deny it!"
Chapter completed!
