Chapter 359： Female champion VS dandy 24 ┃The death of fate (1/2)

Yesterday, when Yu Yuxian was pulled into Hualou by several wealthy businessmen, Zhuang Li happened to bump into her.

Today, when she was carried back to Yu's house by Duke Gui, Zhuang Li's carriage slowly passed by.

"That's Yu Yuxian." Zhuang Li lifted the curtain of the car to take a look when he heard the roar of the pedestrians.

"How do you know?" 7480 watched curiously.

"It can be seen from the height and posture." Zhuang Li listened for a moment, then chuckled, "She is crying."

Yu Yuxian's pain nourishes his happiness.

Thinking of Zhuang Xiaohui's experience, 7480 spat: "Bah, she deserves it!"

The carriage was getting farther and farther away, and a group of good people followed behind the **** of the turtle, pointing at Yu Yuxian who was not covering his body. Others tried to pull the cape on her head to see her true face.

Yu Yuxian's screams could be heard from far away. The cloak was her only fig leaf, and without it, her life would be lost.

Zhuang Li closed his eyes and slowly raised the corners of his lips.

After a while, the Xingbu Yamen arrived, Zhuang Li smoothed the hem of his clothes, got off the carriage, and joined Feng Yi at the door. Recently, the two have been on duty in the Criminal Department, responsible for reviewing and approving major and important cases reported across the country.

As soon as Zhuang Li was seated, an official handed over the case file and asked him to sign it.

This is a case of murdering a husband in the capital. The deceased was a son-in-law who came to the house. After marriage, he was respectful and filial to his father-in-law. He also loved his wife and children very much. All the neighbors praised him.

But a few days ago, his body was found in a dilapidated temple, and his whole body was burnt to charcoal, leaving only a wrench and a jade pendant for identification.

And his wife Du Shi was caught as a murderer and put in jail. It was a businessman who denounced Du Shi.

The salesman said that he often passed by the door of Du's house when he was selling goods, and he had an affair with Du Shi when he went there. Fly with the merchant.

The trader was so frightened that he didn't dare to see Du Shi for several days, until he heard the news of the deceased's death, he realized that he had caused a lot of trouble, and hurriedly came to report the crime.

In order to prove that he did not lie, he could even tell where Du Shi had birthmarks and moles.

Du Shi refused to admit it at first, but after a few beatings, he honestly confessed.

Jing Zhaoyin sentenced Du Shi to death, and after waiting for Zhuang Li's approval, he went to Caishikou and chopped off Du Shi's head.

Now is the late autumn, the so-called questioning after the autumn is exactly this time.

As long as Zhuang Li's stroke falls, after three days, Du's life will be gone.

The official who handed over the file stared at Zhuang Li's pen, holding his breath unconsciously.

Zhuang Li glanced at him, and a gleam of light flashed in his pupils.

He handed the file to Feng Yi and asked, "What do you think?"

Feng Yi carefully read the woman's confession, shook his head and said, "Check again, after all, it is a matter of human life. Du's confession is sincere and does not look like a wicked woman who commits adultery."

The official who brought the case hurriedly said: "The iron evidence is like a mountain, how can we investigate this case? The servants of the Du family saw Du Shi and the deceased go out together in the morning, but came back alone in the evening. After that, the deceased disappeared. , Three days later, the body was found in the ruined temple. Who else could the murderer be besides Mrs. Du? Furthermore, even Mrs. Du's personal maid said that since the deceased disappeared, Mrs. Du had a strange expression and often hid in the room alone to wipe her tears. If she hadn't killed her husband, how could she be so abnormal?"

The official pointed to the testimony of several witnesses and said firmly: "She must be the murderer!"

"Where is the body of the deceased, I'll take a look." Zhuang Li put down the red pen.

"I'll go too." Feng Yi stood up immediately.

The official quickly dissuaded: "The body has been burned into coke, and it is described as very terrifying. The two adults should not look at it."

"Since it's been burned into coke, how can you be sure that the deceased is Du's husband?" Zhuang Li asked with raised eyebrows.

"This is Du's own admission. She said that the wrench and jade pendant on the corpse belonged to her husband."

"The purpose of burning the corpse was to cover up the identity so that others would not recognize it. Why did Mrs. Du say that this was her husband? She killed the man and burned the corpse. Wouldn't her recognition be for nothing? "Zhuang Li continued to ask.

The official was instantly speechless.

Feng Yi slapped his palms and said, "That's right! This doesn't make sense at all!"

Zhuang Li glanced at him and asked, "Do you know that if the officials made the wrong case, how should they be punished according to the law?"

Feng Yi scratched the back of his head and honestly admitted: "I don't know, I haven't studied the law."

"Dayan's law has a statement: those who are punished unfairly are guilty of the same crime." Zhuang Li said slowly, "In other words, if I sign this case today and sentence Du Shi to death, there will be evidence in the future that it is me. Misjudgment, then I also have to die. If her head falls wrongly, my head will fall too."

Zhuang Li stretched out his long and slender index finger and slashed across his neck.

Feng Yi was stunned, and after a long while in cold sweat, he said, "Is it so serious?"

"How can you not be careful when life is at stake?" Zhuang Li patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You are on duty in the Criminal Department, how can you not understand the law at all? How can you govern officials? How can you serve the victims? You are not here to play, you are here to judge guilt and innocence, you are the ruler of justice, understand?"

Feng Yi nodded with a pale face, and then said solemnly: "Cousin, I understand. I will memorize the law of our Dayan tonight. From now on, I will do my job well."
