Chapter 361 Redressing Injustice (Part 2)
;
The main hall of the inn originally had a table, which was a place for guests to eat. At this time, all the tables were removed, leaving only a table and a chair at the top, with gavels on the chairs, and guards standing on both sides. As for Yuxi, she was not in the back hall, but directly upstairs.
Xu Wu slapped the gavel, and roared: "Bring people up." This sound was not only amazing, but also very loud.
Yu Xi laughed when she heard this voice upstairs, and said to Madam Quan: "I didn't expect Xu Wu to be so enthusiastic about trial?" It was just a small case, but Xu Wu, who was usually calm, Such excitement was beyond Yuxi's expectation.
Sister Quan thought for a while and said, "Perhaps Mr. Xu thinks that he is punishing evil and promoting good and upholding justice!"
Hearing this, Yu Xi couldn't help laughing: "It shouldn't happen!" If it was true, wouldn't Xu Wu still have the spirit of a chivalrous man.
Downstairs, the guards brought Zhou Wei to the main hall. According to the information obtained before, Zhou Wei is less than seven feet tall, so thin that only bones are left. His hair was neatly combed, and he was wearing a clean prison uniform.
The original Zhou Wei was dirty and smelly, but all the generals in Yucheng knew that Yuxi was a clean person. The guard was afraid that Zhou Wei's appearance would shock Yuxi, so he cleaned him up.
Zhou Wei was let go by the guards, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, I was wronged. My lord, I did not kill someone by mistake. Dong San was pushed down to death by Dong Er. My lord, I was wronged." Thanks to Zhou Wei Wei is a court where he is full of food and drink, otherwise he would not have the strength to call here.
Xu Wu said with a cold face: "Tell me about the process of the incident. As long as you are innocent, I will naturally give you justice."
Yu Xi listened carefully, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xu Wu to try the case, and it looks like it." There are so many talents around Qing!
Zhou Wei thought he was doomed at first, but he didn't expect that a noble person would intervene in this case. Ants still steal their lives, let alone humans! Naturally, he had to seize this opportunity. Zhou Wei immediately articulated what happened.
Zhou Wei heard his sister Zhou's sudden death, and suspected Zhou's Dong Er killed her. As soon as he got the news, he brought a doctor to Dong's house and asked for an autopsy. Dong Er not only refused to let him go, but also beat him up: "My lord, I am a classmate with Dong San, and we are very good friends. He heard that I was beaten by Dong Er and rushed over to try to persuade him to fight, but Dong Er was like crazy. Pushed Dong San to the ground. Dong San hit his head on the steps and died."
Xu Wu felt something was wrong, and asked, "What is the doctor's name? Where is he now?" He heard Xu Wu say that the doctor's name was Luo Hongde, and Luo Hongde was one of the witnesses. Martial Xu patted the gavel and said, "Bring Luo Hongde up!"
Looking at Luo Hongde who stopped, Xu Wu said: "Luo Hongde, Zhou Wei said that Dong Er pushed the man to death at that time, and you were also on the scene. Now tell me what was the real situation at that time? If there is a lie, I will Your life." The latter sentence can be regarded as a threat.
Looking at Xu Wu with a fierce look on his face, how could Luo Hongde dare to lie: "My lord, this old man was forced to do nothing. Dong Er asked someone to tie up my grandson. If I didn't give false testimony at that time, my grandson would have died. "He didn't want to hurt anyone, but for his only grandson, he could only bow his head.
Under the influence of Xu Wu's intimidation and criminal law, these witnesses all admitted that they had perjured themselves, and that Dong San was pushed to death by Dong Er.
After interrogating the witnesses, Xu Wu patted the gavel again and said, "Bring Dong Er up." In order to frame Zhou Wei, bribery and intimidation were all used.
He looked at Dong Er, who was more than eight feet tall and tall, and then looked at Zhou Wei, who stood aside and was thin. You only need to look at the two of them to know that there is something strange about this case. Just looking at the appearance, the zero-level master 19181 Dong Er can suppress Zhou Wei to death, so where is the dispute coming from?
Dong Er also shouted for injustice: "My lord, you can't listen to the one-sided words of the culprit. He was the one who pushed my brother down.
That's why my brother died. My parents are sick in bed because of my brother's death. "
Xu Wu had already decided that Dong Er was the murderer, so how could he listen to his sophistry. Seeing that Dong Er refused to admit it, he directly asked the guards to drag him down for torture. This is not an ordinary board, but a directly large army stick.
Zhou Wei knelt on the ground and said that Dong Er had killed his sister. I hope Xu Wu can find out the truth and give his sister justice.
Xu Wu hesitated for a moment, they only stayed in Linzhou City for two days, and they will leave tomorrow. It will be very troublesome to investigate another case.
At this moment, Zhu Zi walked down the stairs and whispered something in Xu Wu's ear. Xu Wu then said: "I will send someone to investigate this matter."
Dong Er couldn't survive the punishment, and finally admitted that he accidentally pushed Dong San to death. When she and he signed and pledged, the case would be considered over.
Because Yuxi said that she wanted to see Zhou Wei, after the case was over, Xu Wu took him to see Yuxi. Entering the house, Zhou Wei knelt on the ground without raising his head and said: "Madam's great kindness, there is nothing small to repay." He originally thought that he would die, but who would have expected that he would turn around and escape with his life.
Yuxi said lightly: "Thirty thousand taels of gold and eight hundred and ninety thousand taels of silver were confiscated from Zhou's family. Zhou's family has been in business for three generations, so it is impossible to only have a family business of more than one million yuan." The richer you are, the more you will keep a hand . Especially for a family like the Zhou family that has offended countless people, as long as Mr. Zhou is clear-headed, he will definitely leave a fortune to future generations.
Xu Wu originally thought that Yuxi met Zhou Wei because of Zhou Wei's sister Zhou's case. But unexpectedly, Yu Xi turned out to be for money.
Zhou Wei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, what you are talking about is only the cash of the Zhou family. There are also large sums of goods, shops and fertile land, which together amount to millions."
Yuxi didn't talk nonsense with Zhou Wei, and said: "If you hand over the money, I can send you to a safe place to live. You know very well in your heart that it is not just a good fate that you can live to this day."
Zhou Wei still shook his head and said, "Ma'am, the Zhou family really has no money. If there is, I will definitely give it to Madam." Compared with money, life is naturally more important.
Yu Xi was silent for a while, and said: "You want money or life, you choose." After speaking, Yu Xi said to Xu Wu: "Take him down, and let the few children of the Zhou family who are still alive come to see him. If they don't say anything, let Zhou Wei go home!" The Zhou family has seven surviving children, five boys and two girls. The oldest among the seven is Zhou Wei, and the youngest is only three years old.
Xu Wu asked his subordinates to take Zhou Wei down, and asked Yu Xi: "Ma'am, did the Zhou family really hide the money?" Looking at Zhou Wei, he didn't seem to be lying!
Yu Xi shook her head and said: "It should be!" She just infers according to common sense, and she is not sure whether there is or not.
Xu Wu had black hair, he thought Yuxi knew that the Zhou family had hidden a sum of money! Unexpectedly, Madam wanted to cheat Zhou Wei.
Yuxi wrote an official document, and then stamped Qing and her own seals. After finishing, he handed the official document to Xu Wu and said, "Give this to Yao Zhifu."
Xu Wu took it over to take a look, and was very surprised after reading it: "Madam, why did you only remove Guo Tongsan and not Yao Guangzhang?" Both of them should be dismissed.
Yu Xi said: "Yao Guangzhang has at most one duty of negligence, so he can't be dismissed based on this. Xu Wu, it's still the same sentence, do everything according to the rules. Act according to your own preferences, and there will be endless troubles." Except that Yu Xi doesn't want to be bad In addition, she could not find someone to replace Yao Guangzhang for the time being. Furthermore, if Yao Guangzhang is not doing his job well, if she is in a hurry to change it now, Yao Guangzhang may not be able to do it well.
Xu Wu's face was ugly, but he didn't retort: "Listen to Madam." Madam must have her intentions in doing this.
Yuxi stood up and said: "I have rested for two days, and I have to go on the road tomorrow. It is more than 500 miles from here to Wucheng, and it will take about ten days to arrive." Yuxi hoped to arrive at Haocheng early. The purpose of staying in Zhoucheng is to let the two children have a good rest. Zhou Wei's matter is not enough for him to stay in Linzhou City more.
Xu Wu hesitated, and said: "Madam, if the Zhou family really has a lot of money, it would be a pity if we don't pursue it."
Yuxi said: "Leave this matter to Xu Zhen, and let him pay attention to the children of the Zhou family. Tell Xu Zhen, it's good to get the money, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it." The problem now is that she just It is guessed that there is such a sum of money, but it is really unclear whether there is such a sum of money.
Not long after dark, Xu Wu walked in and said to Yuxi, "Madam, Zhou Wei asks to see Madam." Zhou Wei asked to see him, probably because he wanted money.
Facts have proved that Yuxi's luck is still very good, and Zhou Wei is indeed here to confess. Mr. Zhou did hide a sum of money in the ancestral house before: "Madam, those silver coins are hidden in the old house. As for how much, I don't know." Seeing Xu Wu's expression is not good, Zhou Wei hurriedly said: "This I really didn’t know about it before, but it was my nephew Zhou Xin who told me about it.” Zhou Wei’s nephew is Zhou Wei’s eldest son.
It's no surprise that Yuxi knew Zhou Xin's identity: "If you hadn't lied to me, I wouldn't have settled you properly." She was really just defrauding Zhou Wei. Unexpectedly, luck turned out to be so good, really rich.
Zhou Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, madam."
Xu Wu didn't delay for a moment, and immediately asked Xu Daniu to bring fifty guards to find Xu Zhen. Then he went to the Zhou family's old house in the country overnight.
After daybreak, Xu Wu came over and told Yu Xi, saying, "Madam, if they hadn't said it themselves, others would not be able to find this money." Mr. Zhou melted the gold into gold bricks, and then used them to build wells. If the Zhou family hadn't said it themselves, who would have found it.
Seeing Yu Xi's calm expression, Xu Wu hurriedly said: "Madam, I found a total of 120,000 taels of gold." 120,000 taels of gold, but more than one million silver!
Yu Xi frowned and said: "Only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were found in Ji Xuan's mansion, do you think he also melted the gold into bricks and built it?"
Xu Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's possible." Madam's mind is just different, she thinks really far.
