Chapter 1448 Judgment?
As Lin Qingran continued to interrogate, everyone's eyes focused on Mr. Li.
Li Yu sighed in his heart. Although he wanted to stop everything in front of him and even wanted to protect his son, he, a small Nanjing Ministry of Revenue, was not qualified to be with this third-rank left deputy director of the Ministry of Revenue.
Shi's imperial envoy confronts head-on?
Especially he would inevitably be burdened by his son's affairs, and his career was about to die, and he had no capital to openly challenge Lin Qingran. He put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, secretly giving his son a stern wink.
Lin Qingran sat upright in the court and naturally saw these small movements clearly, but he did not say anything, but continued to stare at Mr. Li severely.
Mr. Li seemed hesitant. After hearing the movement, he glanced at his father, and finally sighed and bowed: "Report to the imperial envoy, this is indeed the case. It is precisely because of this bet that the three of us will Chen Xiaoxiao.
Take it downstairs to verify!”
Xu Yuanji and Mr. Chen, who were crawling on the ground, heard that Mr. Li had confessed, immediately felt the seriousness of the situation and exchanged glances secretly.
Lin Xuran was not too surprised by this answer, and asked Mr. Li again: "Who among you three, who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the water?"
The truth was only one last step left, and many people looked at Mr. Li with their breath holding their minds.
Not only the people and scholars in the hall, but even the young master Yang and others who were in the small lotus pond that night were full of curiosity and wanted to know this answer.
Mr. Li turned his head and looked at his father first, then gritted his teeth, pointed directly at Mr. Chen who was crawling on the ground and shouted: "It's Mr. Chen, he pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the water!"
ah?
When everyone heard this answer, they were too shocked and turned their heads to look at Mr. Chen who was crawling on the ground.
The truth has come to light. The person who killed Chen Xiaoxiao turned out to be Mr. Chen, who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the lotus pond and drowned. Although the cause was a bet, it was undoubtedly a crime of intentional homicide.
"It's really Mr. Chen!"
"This person is domineering in Yangzhou City, so he deserves to be punished!"
"He can't escape the blame if Chen Zhuanyun envoys the son of the crime!"
...
When the people and scholars in the hall heard the truth of the matter, they all blamed each other, and the finger pointed at Chen Xian, the commander of the Transportation Commander of the Huaihe River.
Kissing and hiding each other is the characteristic of this era, and father-son connection is also the characteristic of the era. For example, Yan Song stepped down because he was implicated by Yan Shifan. Now Chen Xian naturally has to pay for his son's evil deeds.
When Xu heard that it was Mr. Chen, his heart was slightly relieved.
"Li Gou, why are you biting you randomly?" Mr. Chen heard that Mr. Li actually pointed at him, and first showed an incredible look, and then asked in anger.
Huh?
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned again. They thought that everything had come to light, but they never thought that things seemed to have changed again.
Mr. Li's eyes were a little guilty, and he immediately gritted his teeth and insisted on accusing him: "The person who pushed Xiaoxiao down the pond that night was clearly you, I can see it clearly!"
"Are you blind? Is it me who pushed people?" Mr. Chen asked in a furious manner.
Mr. Li snorted coldly, but said seriously: "Who else can you be if you are not? Don't deny it!"
Xu Qiu frowned and looked at Mr. Chen with a sharp look.
Mr. Chen was moved with his heart, but suddenly pointed at Mr. Li and accused him: "Mr. Imperial envoy, it's him, and he pushed him down!"
this……
The people and scholars in the hall thought that the truth had been revealed, but they did not expect that the two young men would bite each other, but the case was in a stalemate again.
But when encountering difficulties, everyone has habitually looked at Lin Qingran. After this case has come to this point, no one has ever questioned the ability of this imperial envoy, and it is indeed worthy of the name of Lin Qingtian or Lin Leigong.
Lin Xuran watched the two accusing each other, and secretly felt that things were a little tricky, so he said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"
Both Mr. Chen and Mr. Li wanted to blame each other, but after hearing Lin Weiran's words, they obediently shut up.
Lin Xu Ran faced the curious gazes of everyone, but looked at Xu Yuanji without saying a word and asked: "Chen Yuanji, you were also present at that time. Who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the pool?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up slightly and they turned their heads to look at Xu Yuanji. Since Xu Yuanji was present, he could naturally tell who was lying and who was the real murderer.
According to the current law, Xu Yuanji's testimony almost played a decisive role.
Mr. Chen and Mr. Li looked at Xu Yuanji with different expressions and their eyes were quite complicated.
Li Yu's throat was itchy, and he suddenly coughed lightly, and looked at Xu Yuanji with sharp eyes. He just looked at Lin Yanran in the hall with guilt, and immediately lowered his head.
"Young Master Xu, you can tell the truth!" Although Xu Yu was banned, he still said to Xu Yuanji with a profound meaning.
Xu Yuanji thought for a moment, but chose to point at Mr. Chen and said, "Yes... Mr. Chen, he pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the lotus pond!"
Mr. Chen's face suddenly changed drastically, and he looked at Chen Yuanji in disbelief.
Is it really Mr. Chen?
After hearing the accusation, the people and scholars in the hall finally confirmed that the culprit of killing Chen Xiaoxiao was Mr. Chen who had committed many evil deeds in Yangzhou City.
Lin Xuran saw Mr. Chen's reaction in his eyes, and then asked Mr. Chen in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, is this the truth?"
"No!" Mr. Chen shook his head firmly.
Lin Weiran frowned slightly, and then asked seriously: "Who recommended that? Is Mr. Li? Or Xu Yuanji?"
this……
When Xu heard Lin Xu ask this question, he couldn't help but look up nervously at Lin Xu Ran.
"Yes... Master Li!" Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment, but insisted on pointing out Mr. Li.
Lin Qingran sighed in his heart and smiled and said, "This matter is strange. They both accused you of pushing Chen Xiaoxiao into the water! It would be fine if you say Mr. Li lies, Mr. Xu also lies, he is also wronged.
For you?"
"I don't know! But it's true that I didn't push down the person, it was Mr. Li who pushed down the person!" Mr. Chen lowered his head and insisted on his previous point of view.
this……
The people and scholars in the hall heard that Mr. Chen refused to admit it, and couldn't help but look at Lin Qingran, wanting to see that the imperial envoy would deal with this somewhat difficult problem in this way.
