My martial arts rely on solving cases

Su Qing came back to her senses, raised her eyes and looked at the crowd of common people watching the excitement in the hall, their faces were full of shock and anger.It should be that he substituted himself into the people of these two families who were exterminated, and many people even showed hatred.

They will be propaganda mouths one by one, and through their mouths within three days, stories about the murder and arson of Song Guogong’s descendants are all over the city. The chief culprit Song Yuxuan will be taken to Caishikou and beheaded. , fell heavily.

Not surprisingly, the Song family will be expelled from the capital and returned to the fief, and will not reappear within ten years.Even killing chickens to scare monkeys is also knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

Like Song Yuxuan, he is a rich and noble man, and the dandy in the yamen is a monkey.The princes who jump up and down behind their backs and win over officials everywhere to expand their power are tigers.

Today's public trial is just a process, and the result of the case itself is not important anymore.But even Su Qing had to go through the process completely.

"Bring the criminal Song Yuxuan!"

After a while, Song Yuxuan, who was wearing a white prison uniform, trembling all over, was taken to the court with a face full of fear.

Scanning the crowd, he immediately spotted Song Renchao on the high platform in the crowd.

"Father! Father! Help me, save me..." Song Yuxuan called for help in surprise.

But in the next moment, Song Yuxuan only felt a basin of ice water pouring down from the top of his head, freezing his soul.

The kind father who has always been kind, has such cold eyes.That kind of coldness is not like looking at a son, but looking at a sworn enemy, a dead person.

Song Yuxuan who lives in the compound of the rich family is not a simple novice, the rich family has no family affection.In the face of the interests of the family, even if it is his own son, he will not be a bit soft-hearted when strangled to death.At this moment, the father's eyes clearly revealed a message.

The Song family has given up on you.

Although it was not solely Song Yuxuan's fault that the Song family was kicked out of the capital, if there was no Song Yuxuan, the Song family would not have missed the great opportunity to seize the throne.

"kill him!"

"kill him--"

The crowd outside the court suddenly let out a roar, and immediately, it seemed as if water was dripping into a hot oil pan.The crowd was boiling, and excited shouts of killing followed one after another.

The surprise on Song Yuxuan's face dissipated, replaced by a look of panic and despair.Kneeling under the hall trembling all over, as pitiful as a chicken in the freezing rain.

"Crack! Be quiet!" Su Qing shouted loudly, and then looked down at Song Yuxuan.

"Xu Zhisheng confessed that on the night of the [-]rd day of the first lunar month, you drank in the Peony Pavilion and talked about your punishment. Xu Zhisheng rushed to Taohua Village.

The victim's family was tied up.During the period, the neighbors of the same race next door were disturbed by the loud noise, so you simply kept doing nothing and tied the two families together.Take them to the dense forest of Yanliudi, Xu Zhisheng tied them up, and you shot all seventeen of them to death with your bow.

Then he and Xu Zhisheng buried seventeen corpses, and finally brought people to make it look like they moved away.

Are you guilty? "

"No, no...I don't!" At this moment, Song Yuxuan was crying miserably with snot and tears all over his face.

"Although I am a bastard, although I am not a good person, but...but you can't wrong me. You can't frame me..."

For Song Yuxuan's denial, probably only Su Qing felt sympathetic among the people present.Others, maybe they have long been hard-hearted, maybe they have become accustomed to it.

"Song Yuxuan, even if you try to deny it, it won't help. There are witnesses and evidence, so how can you make sophistry?" The servant of the criminal department who was on the sidelines shouted angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the subordinates around him brought the evidence and confession to Song Yuxuan.

"The arrow is the murder weapon, it is the hunting arrow of your Duke Song's mansion. And that day in the Peony Pavilion, many people heard you say that you will not let it go, that you will kill that family sooner or later.

Also, Xu Zhisheng was with you that day, and the evidence of what he explained was complete and clear, and it was found to be a fact.Now that what he committed has been proven, what you committed cannot be disputed. "

Looking at the iron-like evidence in front of him, Song Yuxuan was powerless to defend himself, and could only subconsciously repeat the words that I was wronged and that I didn't.

Su Qing stood up slowly, "Song Yuxuan, I'm the last one to ask you, do you remember what you did after you left Peony Pavilion, what happened? Can anyone prove it?"

"I... I don't know... I've had too much to drink... I woke up the next day after I got drunk. I really don't know."

Hearing the same answer as before, Su Qing could only sigh secretly.

Slowly pick up the judgment order on the table.

"Song Yuxuan, because of personal grievances, he killed [-] people from two households in Taohua Village, Jingzhao Mansion. He was convicted of a crime that cannot be pardoned. I now pronounce the sentence on Song Yuxuan..."

Su Qing paused.

Song Yuxuan's crime should be a capital crime.But there are many types of capital crimes. According to the Dayu Code, killing so many people should be sentenced to Ling Chi.

But at this moment, Su Qing was moved with compassion.Although the evidence in front of him is complete and perfect, but somehow there seems to be something else hidden in this case.

If it was in Lingxi Mansion, Su Qing would put the case on hold and investigate carefully.But this is not Lingxi Mansion, and no one cares whether there is any hidden story behind the case, what they want is for the dust to fall, not for the truth to come out.

If Su Qing has no substantive evidence, the case cannot be postponed.This result has been accepted by all forces, and most importantly, the emperor has accepted it, and there should be no extra complications.

This was one of the few times Su Qing felt compassionate.

Even if Song Yuxuan is indeed a bastard, even if he has indeed done a lot of outrageous things.

"Slay the decision and execute it immediately! Someone, take the criminals Song Yuxuan and Xu Zhisheng to Caishikou!"

When the verdict came down, the people outside the courtroom suddenly cheered in unison.

Two police officers stepped forward and set up Song Yuxuan from left to right.

"don't want--"

Song Yuxuan suddenly pushed the policeman away, and frantically rushed towards the hall towards his father.Lie down on the table in front of Song Renchao.

"Father! Help me... save me... I don't want to die, please, please... I will be obedient in the future, I will be good... Father!"

Song Renchao looked at Song Yuxuan with a gloomy face, and sat motionless on the chair.

The hands hidden in the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.Blood dripped down from between the fingers.

The veins on his forehead twitched violently.

But Song Renchao remained silent.

"father--"

With a cry of despair, Song Yuxuan was pulled away from the table by two police officers.The table fell over, leaving a few bright red scratches.

Along with the table fell, there were also two arrows on the table tray.

"Jingle--"

The crisp landing sound was drowned in the noisy sound.But Su Qing suddenly paused and froze in place.

Of the two arrows that fell to the ground, one was brought from Song Guogong's mansion as a comparison arrow.The other one was an arrow obtained from the murder scene.

The sound of the two arrows is different.

Although the difference is not big, but with Su Qing's cultivation base, she will definitely not hear it wrong.This shows that the materials used for the two arrowheads are different.

This is a turning point in the case and Song Yuxuan's life.But the current result is what the emperor needs, if he reverses the case for Song Yuxuan, it will overturn the emperor's chessboard.

How serious the consequences are needless to say.

Su Qing was caught in a tangle, and a cold light flickered in her eyes.Just when Song Yuxuan was about to be taken out of the court, his miserable screams became more and more desperate.

"Wait!" Su Qing suddenly yelled.

The yamen servant's movements stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Su Qing.

"Come here, please invite a better blacksmith. I have something to ask."

Everyone has facial recognition devices, some don't know why.The servant of the punishment department stood up and clasped his fists at Su Qing.

"My lord, why did you call the blacksmith over? The emperor is waiting for a reply."

"There are still doubts about this case, and this officer needs to check it again."

"There are still doubts? Do you not have to be so serious about some side-level doubts?"

"Master Qiu, human life is at stake, so we need to be more careful."

Master Qiu was softly teased by Su Qing, and his face suddenly became gloomy.Mr. Qiu was born as a censor, and he has always been the one who hates people and has never been hated by others. How can he stand this?

"If Lord Su is as cautious as he is, then my criminal department's cases are suspicious throughout the year, and our criminal department has been ignoring human lives all year round?"

"I'm the presiding judge, and I'll take care of it if something goes wrong."

With one word from Su Qing, Master Qiu opened his mouth for a long time, and finally clasped his fists at the prince.

"His Royal Highness, please comment. Mr. Su is clearly procrastinating, and I suspect that Mr. Su is suspected of covering up collusion. Please investigate thoroughly."

The prince gave Mr. Qiu a meaningful look, you dare to say such a thing.

With an elegant smile, "Gu believes that Mr. Su will not shoot at the target indiscriminately. It is better to wait for Mr. Su to check it before making a conclusion. Human life is at stake, so we must be cautious.

Soon, a blacksmith was taken tremblingly to the court.The blacksmith was about fifty, not tall but extremely burly.Especially the exposed unicorn arm, thicker than Su Qing's legs.

It's not that the blacksmith deliberately showed his arms to show off.It's because they tend to burn their sleeves when forging iron all year round, so they wear sleeveless clothes when forging iron.

But no matter how tall and strong the blacksmith was, he immediately became trembling and submissive after going to the court, lowering his head, not daring to look at the people on the stage.

"Are you a blacksmith?" Su Qing asked softly.

"The villain, Tiemu, has been blacksmithing for thirty years. The craft of blacksmithing has been passed down from his ancestors. Five generations of my family have been blacksmiths."

"Do you know anything about iron? Can you tell what material it is when a piece of iron is placed in front of your eyes?"

"Yes, this is a villain's housekeeping ability. If you don't have this ability, you don't deserve to eat this bowl of rice."

"Okay!" Su Qing waved her hand lightly, and the two arrows wrapped in true energy slowly floated towards the blacksmith, and quietly stopped in front of the blacksmith like a fairy.

"Look at these two arrows, what's the difference in the iron materials used?"

"Yes!"

The blacksmith has seen many people in the world, and he still understands the methods of martial arts masters.Nor was she frightened by Su Qing's methods.In other words, the blacksmith himself is also an insider.

He took the arrow, tapped it lightly, and listened to it again.

After a while, a confident smile appeared on his face, "My lord, one of these two arrowheads is made of iron, and the other is made of ordinary pig iron. Although the shape and weight are the same, the hardness and toughness are very different."

After hearing what the blacksmith said, everyone was still puzzled, but Song Renchao in the high hall suddenly showed ecstasy and stood up abruptly.

"My Song family has its own mining industry and its own iron smelting workshop. The arrowheads used in the mansion are all made of iron."

Su Qing turned her face away and looked at Song Renchao, leaving a blood-red palm print on the desktop she patted.

The wealthy are not really ruthless, but they have no choice but to be ruthless in the face of family survival.
