Chapter 533: Witnesses and Evidence Are All Before Us
After hearing Yin's veiled and evasive remarks, Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong just smiled coldly.
Then, Zheng Tong said calmly: "What a good way to ask for witnesses and physical evidence;
What a great saying: 'No matter how wronged I am, I am willing to plead guilty'!
Yin, are you insisting that I was tortured into confessing?
Are you sure that I forced you to confess without any witnesses or physical evidence?
Are you so sure that I have no witnesses or physical evidence?
Are you confident that you really did it so cleanly from beginning to end back then?
OK!
What I am waiting for is for you to ask me for witnesses and evidence.
I will not let you down, I will give you the witnesses and evidence you want right away!"
When Yin heard what the prefect Zheng Tong said, her body, which was already shaking with pain, shuddered again involuntarily.
Yin thought to himself, witnesses, physical evidence...
Could it be... Could it be that they really have witnesses and evidence in their hands?
Can't you?
So many years have passed, is the witness still there?
Even if those few people are still there, they would have hidden away somewhere long ago and their appearance would have changed a lot. Could they really find them?
As for the physical evidence...
What could the physical evidence Zheng Tong was talking about be?
Perhaps the physical evidence they were talking about was the account books in the mansion?
But...but the accounting office in the mansion was also robbed by thieves that night!
Not even a piece of paper was left, let alone an account book.
They must have no physical evidence.
Zheng Tong is deceiving himself.
Yes, it must be!
Thinking of this, Yin still gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
It is obvious that Yin will not cry until she sees the coffin, and will not give up until she reaches the Yellow River!
Prefect Zheng Tong did not delay any longer.
"Come here, bring the witness to the lobby with me!"
"As you command, my lord!"
The two bailiffs left the hall.
Soon, the sound of an iron chain dragging on the ground was heard.
Listening to the sound of the iron chain dragging on the ground, Yin felt her scalp swelling and her whole body tense.
Who could be dragged here?
I heard the sound of the chain dragging on the ground getting closer...closer...
People have arrived in the lobby.
Yin endured the pain in her back and turned her head with difficulty to look back.
Yin stared at the man and woman who were dragged into the court, trying her best to identify them...
The moment I recognized the two...
"what!"
Yin screamed and her whole body began to tremble violently.
"Yes... yes... it's you...
You...you how...?"
I wonder what Yin wants to say, why are you still alive?
I still want to ask, how come you appear in Shuntian Prefecture Yamen?
Yin's lips trembled so violently that she couldn't utter the following words.
She watched the two people who had been dragged up kneel down in the hall;
I heard them say, "I am Lu Huai, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet the prefect!"
"I, a commoner named Qian, greet the prefect!"
There was another buzz of discussion in the hall.
"Who are these two people?"
"I don't know, just listen!"
The gavel rang in the hall.
"Lu Huai, confess all the crimes you committed in court. Don't tell a single lie!"
Prefect Zheng Tong said sternly.
"Yes, I obey your command!"
Next, Lu Huai recounted the story of how Yin and Old Yin found him through their cousin Qian, who was Nanny Qian serving Yin at the time, when he was practicing medicine at Zhuchun Hall, and used 1,200 taels of silver to tempt him to go against his conscience as a doctor and do something evil that he would regret for the rest of his life!
Lu Huai told how, under the instruction and coercion of Yin and Old Yin, he first deliberately diagnosed his wife's pregnancy as a case of spleen and stomach disharmony;
Later, he wrote down a prescription for inducing miscarriage in pregnant women.
After taking the medicine, the pregnant wife lost the fetus in her womb.
Later, when the late lady's health had improved after being recuperated by the official physician of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, they used another prescription that Xiaomin had written out at the same time as the first one.
This strong medicine caused the late wife to suddenly bleed profusely, and she eventually died of blood loss.
Lu Huai confessed everything that happened that year without leaving out a single detail.
Then, Lu Huai also told him about how the Marquis of Qinxing burned down his house to silence him, and then sent people to search for and kill them.
Qian also revealed that the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion killed people to silence them after the incident, and first pushed the involved Madam Zhou into the well and drowned her;
Then she killed her husband at home without him knowing about it;
After a burst of discussion in the hall, Zheng Tong piled a thick stack of account books on the desk.
"Yin, these are all the account books of your Qinxing Marquis Mansion over the years."
After he finished speaking, Zheng Tong picked up a piece of paper on the account book.
“This note was left by the person who robbed the Xinghou Mansion that night.
The thieves left this note to show that they did not steal for money, but to fight for justice! "
After saying that, Zheng Tong read out the contents of the note in public.
"Master Zheng Tong's table review:
I learned that Lord Zheng was ordered to investigate the theft at Marquis Qinxing's mansion;
At the same time, the case of the huge dowry of Fu Baozhen, the late wife of Marquis Qinxing, being misappropriated was investigated.
I have specially sent the account books of Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion as evidence, in order to redress the injustice of those who died unjustly, and to send those who did evil off to their final resting place!
When justice comes, the property will be returned intact to Zhao!
The signature is: To fight for justice, I emptied the mansion!"
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but exclaim when they heard this...
"My God!
I’ll just say it!
I'm talking about the thieves who stole from Marquis Qinxing's mansion... they were not ordinary thieves!
They are thieves! They are thieves! "
The person who said this also gave two thumbs up!
“It’s the Rogue!
It’s definitely a thief!
As people say, it is to redress the injustice of those who died unjustly and to see off the evildoers!!
People just want to stand up for justice!
When justice comes, the property will be returned intact to Zhao!
Moreover, they had already presented the account books as evidence to accuse the Qinxing Marquis Mansion of this nest of jackals and tigers of crimes!
Knight thief!
What a chivalrous thief! "
"Yeah yeah!"
"..."
The people around nodded in agreement.
After the discussions in the hall subsided a little, Prefect Zheng Tong looked at Yin again.
Yin, now the witnesses have come to court, and the physical evidence is also on my case.
The account books record how much of the late wife's dowry you have embezzled over the years!
Even your Yin family is shamelessly enjoying the dowry from your late wife.
You are so greedy, vicious, and shameless that you have no bottom line!
At this point, Yin, what else do you have to say?"
