Chapter 67
Ye Chengwei unhurriedly picked up the gavel on the desk and looked at it carefully, and asked slowly: "Is there a rule in the law that women cannot go to court?"

"This"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Lu Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "There are no such laws and regulations, and there are still precedents in Beijing to follow. Ji Yunchu, the first of the four talented women of the Daye Dynasty, has entered Dali Temple many times, and is still in the third hall. Appealing for the wronged during the joint trial, turning the world around in one fell swoop and clearing the suspicion of the wronged, so she became famous all over the world, and even His Majesty once praised this woman for her courage and talent."

"Since the capital is still inclusive of everything, why can't Jiangling City be inclusive of all rivers and rivers under the rule of the emperor?"

Ye Chengwei faced the crowd and said in a deep voice: "The lawsuit is justified and no one else is concerned. If Miss Hua can clear the guilt of the wronged person, seek justice for the victim, solve everyone's doubts, and even share the worries of the county, why should the county do it?" Concentrate on the details and lose the general idea?"

After saying that, he looked at Hua Rujin, and said righteously: "Miss Hua don't need to worry about anything today, you can speak up with confidence."

"Thank you magistrate."

His boldness made Hua Rujin more confident, staring at brother Zhang Xiu with burning eyes, and said with a cold smile:

"Master Zhang really thinks that I'm a woman who can't bear to argue with you, or is he afraid that I will expose your conspiracy?"

Zhang Xiu looked disdainful, and pouted arrogantly: "I have some conspiracy, Miss Hua, don't just talk about it."

When the words fell, he turned to Ye Chengwei and said rather angrily: "My lord, I beg you to return my uncle's body for burial in his hometown. This Han family has no sincerity of repentance, and they can't come up with any money. No matter if the grassroots don't want it, please let me go immediately." The murderer must punish the law and seek justice for my uncle."

Then, secretly glanced at the little boy at the side, and the little boy burst into tears: "Father, you died so badly, woo woo woo."

"Mr. Zhang is really good at it. If you make this boy cry, he will cry. If you want him to call anyone Father, he will have to call him Father, right?"

Hua Rujin stared at the two brothers coldly, it was not obvious that they were acting.

Zhang Xiu immediately flew into a rage: "What does Miss Hua mean by this, the younger brother lost his dear one, it is inevitable that he is sad, what is his fault?"

"It's human nature to shed tears for loved ones. I'm afraid that the true love between the two of you will come too late."

Hua Rujin frowned and sighed: "I heard that you two came to the county government office yesterday to beat the drums and complain about grievances. Why didn't you think about identifying the corpse yesterday? On the contrary, it was the arrival of the Han family today that changed your mind temporarily and wanted to return Uncle Ling's corpse?"

Zhang Xiu reasoned and said: "Of course I want to raise some money to go back to my hometown first, so that I can better arrange my uncle's funeral."

"Uncle Ling has been missing for three years, and even the government dare not judge the case. You came here from other places just based on hearsay. How can you directly confirm that the corpse belongs to Uncle Ling?"

Hua Rujin looked straight at him like a blade: "Unless you knew that Uncle Ling died three years ago."

"Bullshit."

Zhang Xiu looked aggrieved, and looked at Ye Chengwei: "My lord, the grass people only thought that uncle really went on a long journey as Han Chun said, and suddenly heard the bad news, so how could they worry so much?"

"That's even more outrageous."

Hua Rujin sneered and shook her head: "Since Mr. Zhang and Brother Ling think that Uncle Ling is out wandering, it is common sense that they should confirm the corpse first after hearing the bad news. You said that you didn't worry so much, how could the first thing be Looking for someone to blackmail money?"

"Yes, this is indeed somewhat unreasonable."

Cousin Ruya also echoed loudly outside: "A few years ago, an old servant by my side was killed in a fight. I was still sad for a while. I buried him first before seeking justice for his family. Compensation, not to mention that the brother of this family is still Zhang Yuan's nephew, how can he be so respectful for the elders."

Hearing this, there was an uproar outside the hall:
"That's right, it is said that the dead are respected. How can anyone not let people go to the ground first and ask for money directly, let alone a nephew or a son, even others are not so cruel."

Zhang Xiu was flustered immediately, and pleaded again and again: "Lord magistrate, Caomin only wants to return his uncle's body, and I ask you to make decisions for Caomin and the younger brother."

"Master Zhang, please face everyone's doubts. How can you be sure that this corpse belongs to your uncle?"

Hua Rujin looked at the courtroom in a slow tone, heard the sound of drums gradually resounding outside the hall, and continued to ask: "How can a corpse without a head be identified as that of Zhang Yuan? I think this is also the case of the magistrate." An important reason for not daring to close the case?"

Ye Chengwei nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, it's really hard to tell that this person is Zhang Yuan's corpse just by looking at a headless corpse."

"But if that corpse didn't belong to Zhang Yuan, who would it be?"

County magistrate Tang Haoran also frowned.

Suddenly hearing the loud drumming outside, he raised his head in surprise and asked quickly, "Who is beating the drums outside to appeal for grievances?"

The yamen servant in the outer hall replied loudly: "My lord, it is a beggar who brought a young girl to the county yamen to find her father."

Hearing this, there was a commotion inside and outside the court again: "Today's county government is weird, one sees his father's corpse in the government office and refuses to recognize each other, and the other goes to the county government to find his father."

Ye Chengwei's face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, and then he returned to normal, continued to stare at Hua Rujin, and said with a cold smile: "Miss Hua really has a good plan."

"To each other, to each other."

Hua Rujin also returned a warm smile, listened to the noise around her, and immediately raised the volume: "Then, my lords, under what circumstances would the perpetrator think of cutting off the dead man's head?"

From the perspective of criminal psychology, the murderer must have an unusual purpose in doing so.

Lu Xiuyuan thought for a while: "I'm afraid I want to deceive people and confuse people."

"good."

Hua Rujin happily replied, feeling very pleased with the sudden enlightenment of the Master Dian Shi:
"The purpose of destroying corpses and cutting off people's heads is either to hide people's eyes and ears, or to destroy corpses and traces, or to have a deep hatred with them. Obviously, neither of the latter is the case. The relationship between the Han family and Zhang Yuan is not bad, but if it is for the purpose of destroying corpses Mieji will not just cut off the head and leave the rest of the body, so there is only one possibility of concealing people's eyes and ears.
Since Han Chun admitted to killing someone, he naturally wouldn't have such a motive. He wouldn't tell the government that he had killed someone, but then foolishly deliberately tricked the government into guessing whether the person he killed was Zhang Yuan or not. "

After a pause, she inspected the people who were engrossed in listening, and then said: "The reason for this is that everyone thinks that the deceased is Zhang Yuan, so who would use this golden cicada's method of getting rid of the shell to deceive everyone? And get the most benefit out of it?"

Ye Chengwei closed his eyes: "From this point of view, I think only Zhang Yuan himself."

"good."

Hua Rujin's eyes slowly fell to Zhang Xiu who was in panic: "Just now I said that you already knew that your uncle died three years ago, so that is really wronging you. If you killed your uncle, you should be ashamed Just planting the blame on Han Chun, why cut off the head, so there is only one possibility left, you already know that the corpse in the county government does not belong to your uncle."

"Miss Hua, you don't have to be eloquent, just be quick with your tongue."

Zhang Xiu scolded furiously: "My uncle disappeared in Maoyuan Village out of thin air. You didn't complain for my uncle, but you falsely accused my uncle in order to earn black money. If the corpse is not my uncle's, who else could it be?"

"Yes."

Han Dong also showed a puzzled expression: "Miss Hua, when we went to Zhang Yuan's house that day, it was indeed him lying on the bed, and the clothes Zhang Yuan was wearing the day before yesterday, but his head was cut off."

"That's exactly what he used to deceive people's ears."

Hua Rujin glared at Zhang Xiu angrily, thinking of seeing the miserable scene of Cheng Nini's mother and daughter in the tunnel, the anger in her heart was like a volcanic eruption, out of control.
