Chapter 6028: The Guillotine Case (Thirty)
The atmosphere was even more heavy at breakfast time. There were only a few yamen runners talking on the entire dining table. Qin Xianglian was even so nervous that she dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground. △
After breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms and the yamen runners went to work. Xiao Yuer looked solemn, and he and Zhao Hu were sent to capture Chen Shimei for interrogation.
There were about fifty people and horses, with swords, guns, swords and halberds, and they were equipped with neat equipment, heading towards the Prince Consort's Mansion.
After about half an hour, Xiaoyuer came to the Prince Consort's Mansion. It was not the first time he had come. He was very familiar with the journey. Then he sent a yamen runner to call the door.
"Papa" the yamen runner went up and took a few shots.
"Who?" someone in it answered: "What are you knocking? Don't you know this is the Prince Consort's Mansion? How many courage do you have? Do you want to be reincarnated early?"
"Shou" Xiao Yu'er's sword was unsheathed and said, "Call Chen Shimei out, he's going to have a big deal."
"Who is so brave?" Suddenly, a majestic voice came. The voice was no one else, but the princess, the aunt of the contemporary emperor.
"I've seen the princess, little one." Several people said.
"Is it you?" The princess questioned Xiao Yuer. She looked at him with a phoenix eye, meaning, "I'll take a look if you dare to catch one."
Xiao Yuer put away the treasure knife, smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, Princess, is here."
When the princess saw Xiao Yuer despising her majesty so much, she immediately said angrily: "You are so brave?"
Xiao Yuer frowned. He really couldn't do anything about this princess. He looked at Chen Shimei, who was timid on the door and immediately said, "Chen Shimei, if you are a man, just go with us. If you are not a man, just be a eunuch. I think His Royal Highness's happiness for half his life will not be with a eunuch."
"You dare!!"
"Your Highness Princess, do you think I dare?" Xiao Yuer smiled slightly and put his hand on the sword. Sister. I can't cure you, and I can't cure this relative?
In full view of everyone, the princess had to compromise. After Xiaoyuer took Chen Shimei away, she hurried to the palace and brought reinforcements.
Xiao Yuer took Chen Shimei back to the county government. After Mr. Bao received the news, he immediately went to court to open the trial.
"Ascending to the hall!!!"
When he arrived at the lobby, the male lead, villain **oss, Chen Shimei. He was still dressed beautifully and arrogantly, but he didn't have his seat today, so he had to stand in the center of the lobby angrily.
The female lead, the victim, and the plaintiff, Qin Xianglian, was kneeling beside her, bowing her head and silent.
I heard Lord Bao slap the gavel and ask, "Defendant Zhan. Can you recognize this thing?"
Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and saw the steel knife in Lord Bao's hand, and immediately said, "Sir, Caomin recognizes it. This is the steel knife Han Qi used when he committed suicide."
"Why did Han Qi commit suicide?"
"Sir, Han Qi was instructed by the prince consort to kill Qin Xianglian and his son. After his conscience was discovered and he couldn't bear to take action. He was afraid that he could not report to the prince consort, so he committed suicide."
"It's nonsense!" Chen Shimei shouted, "I don't recognize Han Qi at all. How can I instruct you?"
Lord Bao raised the steel knife and shouted: "Chen Shimei, you said you don't know Han Qi, so why does this steel knife have the mark of your son-in-law's mansion?"
Chen Shimei sneered: "Sir Bao, the steel knife can be faked!"
Lord Bao said coldly: "The steel knife can be faked, can the witness be faked?"
"I think his words cannot be believed."
Lord Bao immediately shouted loudly: "Is the words of the imperial court's official order reliable?"
When Chen Shimei heard this, she was stunned.
Lord Bao patted the slap in the woods and said: "Traveling to the Master Liao of Caizhou Prefect"
The sound of the incitement went away layer by layer. Soon after, Master Liao walked up with handcuffs and shackles, and knelt down and said, "Sir Liao, the criminal, please come to see the Lord."
"Master Liao, my mansion asks you, you are in the Caizhou Prefecture Office and scolded Qin Xianglianqu, and then sent someone to kill her mother and son and Xiao Yuer on the way to escort. Are you guilty?"
Master Liao was trembling all over and said, "I know the crime of the official..."
"Then Qin Xianglian and her son, Xiao Yu'er, have no grudges and grudges with you, why did you kill him?"
"Sir, is the offender being instigated by someone?"
"Who instigates?"
Master Liao stuttered: "Yes, yes, yes..."
Lord Bao raised his eyebrows and suddenly slapped the gavel and shouted: "Say!"
Master Liao was so scared that he shouted hurriedly: "It's Chen Shimei, the son-in-law of the dynasty!"
Chen Shimei immediately rushed to Master Liao, kicked him hard, and cursed: "Nonsense! Nonsense!"
Bang!!
There was a loud noise from the gavel, and Lord Bao shouted loudly: "Chen Shimei, don't roar in the court!"
The third yamen runners immediately shouted: Majestic—
Seeing this, Chen Shimei walked to the side angrily and sneered: "Mr. Bao, you said that this palace kills his wife and kills his son is simply a fiction. What is the reason for this palace to do such a thing?"
Lord Bao said in a deep voice: "That's because Qin Xianglian is your first wife of Yuanbao. After you were the top scholar in high school, you were summoned as your son-in-law. You were afraid that your wife would be remarried and you would commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. So you wanted to kill someone to silence me!"
Chen Shimei heard the words and sneered even harder: "Mr. Bao, don't listen to this foolish woman's words. Qin Xianglian was retired by this palace five years ago. How could she stop her wife and remarry her?"
When Xiaoyuer heard this, she couldn't hide her excitement and said to herself: It's here, the highlight is here!
Mr. Bao narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "You said that Qin Xianglian had divorced five years ago, is there a divorce letter as evidence?"
"Of course!"
"Where is the divorce letter?"
Chen Shimei looked up at Lord Bao, snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Bao, you naturally think that I will not bring the divorce letter with you, and you will not let me go back to my house to get it. I want to be so stupid? Since I received the invitation from Prime Minister Wang, I expected that Prime Minister Wang would ask me to pass by the palace and would definitely ask Qin Xianglian about it, so I have already carried the divorce letter with me. Lord Bao, you have made the mistake of your wishful thinking!" After that, he took out the divorce letter and handed it to the yamen runner who presented the evidence beside him.
Xiaoyuer almost spitted out all the saliva from his mouth: ohgod, Chen Shimei is too smart, and she let go of a chance to escape. You were supposed to say that you didn’t bring your divorce letter and went back to your house to get it. You are a dignified prince consort, who dares to stop you, but now you personally presented your divorce letter and feel proud. It’s really “smartness is just mistaken for your intelligence.”
Thinking of this, Xiaoyuer couldn't help but look up at the back of the case, and saw that there was no surprise on the face of the adult Bao, as if he had expected this scene.
Xiao Yuer thought for a few times and immediately realized: I think that Prime Minister Wang is still able to serve as Prime Minister at such a very old age. He is not a human being but also a human being. How could he have imagined this? Eighty times he did something in the invitation letter, asking Chen Shimei to bring the divorce letter with him. Lao Bao - Gongsun Zhuzi - tsk... I guess these have been expected!
Lord Bao took the divorce letter, looked at it for a while, and asked Qin Xianglian again: "Qin Xianglian, the prince consort said that this divorce letter was written five years ago, can you admit it?"
Qin Xianglian kowtowed and said loudly: "Sir. The civilian woman is wronged! This divorce letter was signed by Chen Shimei two days ago in Prime Minister Wang's mansion."
Lord Bao raised his eyebrows and asked Chen Shimei again: "Chen Shimei, what explanation are you doing?"
Chen Shimei snorted a few times and sneered: "Mr. Bao. The divorce book is written clearly. Master Bao is not careful to see clearly. When is the date on the divorce book?"
Lord Bao glared and shouted: "Chen Shimei, is this divorce book really written five years ago?"
"Of course it's true!"
Lord Bao pressed his anger and shook his head slightly. He said, "Where is the person coming, I'll tell you the shopkeeper of the 'Sibaofang'."
"The shopkeeper of the 'Sibaofang'—" another sound of summons went away.
Soon, a slightly fat man, about fifty years old, wearing a long gown, walked into the lobby and knelt down and said, "Caomin Zheng Wen, come to see the Lord."
Chen Shimei looked very confused. She looked at the man up and down several times, but there was no impression in her mind. She couldn't help but turn her eyes to Bao Zheng and said to herself: Bao Heizi, don't think that I will be afraid of you if you use strange tricks. I want to see how capable you are?!
Then he saw Lord Bao asking slowly, "Zheng Wen, I asked you, what do you make for a living?"
Zheng Wen said respectfully: "Sir, Caomin is the shopkeeper of the 'Sibaofang' and makes a living by selling the four treasures of the study."
"Then do you have any research on Mo Ke?"
"Sir, that's the ability of the grass-roots people to make a living."
Mr. Bao nodded, handed the divorce book in his hand to the officer, and said, "Then look, what kind of ink is this divorce book written?"
Zheng Wen took the divorce book, looked carefully, then put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, handed it back to the divorce book and replied: "Sir, it's Shu Jin Mo."
"Zheng Wen, you can tell me carefully. If there is any mistake, I will definitely not let you go."
When Zheng Wen heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Sir, the people who live with this for more than 30 years will never be able to make a mistake!"
Lord Bao took the divorce letter back, put it aside, and asked again: "Zheng Wen, I ask you, when will this shujin ink be sold?"
"Sir, this ink material is rare and the production process is complicated. It was not until last year that this ink was sold on the market?"
"Isn't this ink before last year?"
"It's absolutely impossible to go back to my sir!"
Lord Bao nodded with satisfaction: "Zheng Wen, you can go down."
"Thank you!" Zheng Wen heard this, thanked him quickly and turned around and left.
Lord Bao Li raised his eyebrows, glared at the tiger's eyes, raised the gavel, slapped it hard, and shouted loudly: "Chen Shimei, do you have something to say?"
Looking at Chen Shimei again, her face was pale as wax, her eyes suddenly appeared in blood, and her whole body seemed to have lost its soul, shaking continuously.
Lord Bao again patted the auspicious wood and shouted: "This shujin ink was only sold last year. Five years ago, how did you write a divorce book with it? This divorce book was clearly because you forced Qin Xianglian to sign it two days ago! Chen Shimei, you deceived the emperor and instigated murder, killed your wife and killed your son, and were all serious crimes. Now the evidence is conclusive, but you still don't entrust your guilt?! Where are you here, take off his black veil and take off his rolling dragon robe!"
When Zhang Long and Zhao Hu heard this, they immediately stepped forward to clean Chen Shimei's outfit. They even dispersed Chen Shimei's hair bun, and suddenly, this mighty prince consort of the current dynasty turned into a banished prisoner with a very embarrassed hair.
Lord Bao sat after the case, concentrated slightly, and paused: "Chen Shimei, you have committed all serious crimes and are unforgivable. This mansion will judge you as a guillotine. Where are you here? The dragon head guillotine will serve you!"
The four yamen runners on one side of the lobby put down their sticks, walked to the east side of the lobby, lifted a heavy object and walked to the center of the lobby. When the bright yellow brocade was lifted, the lobby suddenly lit up.
I saw this guillotine, about five feet long, with a brass body cast and a cold iron blade cast. The guillotine was in front of it, and it was carved carefully. It was the image of the dragon head. The guillotine was about two feet wide. The cold light was captivating, and the cold light was everywhere. It seemed that there were buzzing sounds hidden in it.
When Chen Shimei saw the dragon-headed guillotine placed in front of her, she shook her figure violently. She finally came to her senses and shouted loudly: "I am the son-in-law of the current dynasty. Who dares to slaughter me?"
Unfortunately, everyone in the lobby did not move at all, as if they didn't hear it.
I saw Mr. Bao pull out a red bamboo stick from the sign, slowly get up, stare at me and say in a deep voice: "Open the chopping--"
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu held Chen Shimei. Wang Chao came to both sides of the guillotine. Wang Chao pushed the guillotine up. With a swish, everyone felt a flash of cold light in front of their eyes. The guillotine looked like a bloody mouth of a giant beast, and was so terrifying.
"Bao Heizi, I am the son-in-law of the current dynasty, I am..."
Chen Shimei struggled desperately, but how could she get rid of Zhang Long? Zhao Hu's arm rubbed a few times, and Chen Shimei was pressed onto the stealing mouth.
