Chapter 867

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the yamen servant who was ordered to go to the coachman for questioning came back in a hurry.

Seeing the coachman being brought to the court, Hua Wenbao lowered his eyes.

The progress of the case seems to be unfavorable to Hua Mancai and Xie Jinyu.

Although Yue Xia was in a hurry, she could only wait for a while.

At this time, the coachman kneeling on the ground tremblingly said that his name was Agui, and he was from the capital.

When I was driving past the gate of Zuixianju the day before yesterday, I was stopped by the waiter inside and told him that I had business.

Afterwards, four well-dressed but very embarrassed aristocrats walked out of Zuixianju. One of them injured his foot and was helped into the carriage by his companions.

Knowing that they were going to Xie's Mansion on the way to Beijing, the coachman wanted to take the bustling street, but the injured Xie Xiao said he took a shortcut.

After the coachman heard this, he turned halfway into the alley on Jingsi Road.

I wanted to pass through the alley on Jingsi Road, and the opposite is Jingyi Road.

However, before the coachman was happy, he was punched and thrown from the carriage.

The coachman fell to the ground, but did not faint, but lay on the ground.

He found that the carriage stopped not far in front of him, and the man who knocked him out got into the carriage, not knowing what to do.

Not long after, a person appeared beside the carriage, a young boy, about six or seven years old.

Speaking of this, the coachman glanced at Hua Mancai and Xie Jinyu, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Master Zhang Yuhua's expression became a bit serious, and he said, "Ah Gui, just come as you see."

The coachman Agui was silent for a while, pointed to Xie Jinyu and said, "He was standing outside the carriage and said, 'Brother Mancai, the knife is so bloody, I have a better way.'"

Agui pointed at Hua Mancai again and said, "He asked: 'What method?'"

"The kid said again: 'We can poison. How about it, is it more elegant than your knife?'"

"The man asked again: 'Where did you get this medicine? Does it work?'"

"The child said again: 'I'm sure it works, I've had someone test it.'"

"After that, this man got into the carriage again, and he must have poisoned the four young masters in the carriage."

"The kid standing outside the carriage was probably scared, so he urged him to hurry up. Then, the man came out of the carriage, grabbed the kid by the collar, flew up to the roof and fled."

After hearing Agui's testimony, Hua Mancai and Xie Jinyu's expressions became very ugly.

This coachman named Agui, although he repeated what they had said, half of it was not what they were talking about at that time.

Although the people listening outside the door were afraid of Habayashi Wei, they couldn't help whispering at this moment.

"This child is so vicious at such a young age, what a crime!"

"Rich people have a lot of nasty things. It's no wonder that this child doesn't go bad after being exposed to it."

"Keep your voice down, don't be afraid that some Habayashi guard will cut you with a knife!"

The crowd who were talking a lot shut their mouths in fright because of this person's words.

Although this excitement is beautiful, it cannot lose one's life because of it.

Xie Jinyu also heard the discussion of the people outside the door, her face flushed with anger, and she pointed at Agui and said angrily, "You spout blood!"

Xie Jinyu is a child at heart, and because of her precious status, she is loved by her elders at home, and she is also harmonious and loving with her brothers and sisters. She has never been wronged like this.

For a moment, the eyes were full of tears, but they didn't let them fall.

Seeing Xie Jinyu's aggrieved look, Yue Xia clenched his hands on his knees into fists.

"My lord Zhang, although there are two witnesses in this case, it cannot be ruled out that they were bribed. I guarantee my life. It is impossible for Mancai and Jinyu to poison someone!
Whether this case can be postponed for a few days, I will definitely find evidence to prove that the two of them are innocent! "Yue Xia looked at Zhang Yuhua, and at the same time at Xie Chun, Liu Guogong, Master Lan, and Xie Zhao.

From the incident to the present, the father of the other deceased Xie Peng, the former head of the Xie family - Xie Zhao, has never said a word about it.

Yue Xia felt that his behavior was very ancient, how can there be a son who is not sad or happy when his son dies.

As soon as Yue Xia thought this way, he heard Xie Zhao say: "The evidence is convincing, but the prince said that the witness might be bribed, why didn't you say that you wanted to exonerate these two people! As the prince, you don't decide for the dead , but to cover criminals.

Hehe... Also, who are these two people? One is the prince's brother-in-law, and the other is the prince's classmate and friend, and also the prince's concubine's relative.

It is only natural for the crown prince to protect them. The four of us will die as soon as our son dies. Who told us that our lives are cheap. "

Xie Zhao's remarks successfully caused the commotion of the people listening outside the door to stir up again.

"It's really unreasonable!"

"It turns out that these two people are relatives of the emperor, no wonder they are confident."

"Even the official's sons are poisoned and killed if they want to. Someday we ordinary people will make them dislike us, why don't we kill them if we want!"

"They still have the support of the prince, as long as the prince is not the prince, how dare they be so arrogant!"

One word awakens the dreamer!The common people who understood looked at Yue Xia who was sitting in the courtroom with unkind eyes.

Someone shouted: "Da Qi, don't be such a prince who doesn't know right from wrong!"

"Change the prince, change the prince..."

Fortunately, there were guards guarding the gate, otherwise the excited people would rush in and attack Yue Xia.

Seeing that the scene was out of control again, Zhang Yuhua looked solemn.

Yue Xia, who was denounced by others, calmed down instead, looking at the excited people outside the door, it was abnormal at first glance.

So, he gestured to Ying Yi in the dark, then turned to Xie Zhao, and said with a half-smile, "As expected of Xie Clan's former Patriarch."

Facing Shang Yuexia's eyes, Xie Zhao only showed a faint smile, but said nothing.

Zhang Yuhua frowned and looked at Yue Xia and Xie Zhao for a while, wondering what kind of riddles they were playing, but what he has to do now is to try the case.

"Silence!" The moment the gavel exploded, the excited people fell silent.

It has to be said that the gavel has a god-like deterrent effect.

"The prince's proposal just now, forgive me for not agreeing to it." After Zhang Yuhua finished speaking, he motioned for the servant at the side to take Hua Wenbao down to ask questions, and he also left.

A quarter of an hour later, Hua Wenbao was brought to the court again, and Agui was taken away by the yamen servants.

Another quarter of an hour later, Agui was brought back to the courtroom by the yamen servant, Zhang Yuhua followed behind, and he handed Yue Xia the two testimonies that he had just recorded during the questioning.

Two questions were recorded on the paper:

1. When will Hua Mancai and Xie Jinyu leave?

At the end of noon, at the beginning of Weishi.

2. Which hand did Hua Mancai use when he dragged Xie Jinyu away?
left hand.

Both questions had the same answer.

This already shows that the two were indeed there at the time and witnessed everything Hua Mancai and Xie Jinyu did.

But Xie Jinyu had a shadow guard by his side, so it was impossible not to know that someone was peeping. That only meant that someone knew about all this and told them the details clearly.
