i became the villain

Chapter 284

"Zhang San." Dong Tiancheng called Zhang San, "Knowing that the governor passed you to the lobby, what is the matter?"

"The villain knows, it's because of the testimony." Zhang San said politely.

"Zhang San, the governor's ugly words are up front, and the price of perjury is decapitation." Dong Tiancheng stared coldly at Zhang San who was kneeling in the hall, and warned.

After hearing Dong Tiancheng's warning words, Zhang San's body trembled a few times inexplicably, perhaps because of fear.

But then.

Zhang San's trembling body calmed down, and he reported to Dong Tiancheng: "My lord, this villain knows that everything the villain said is true, and if I make mistakes, my lord can kill the villain's head. "

"I can't see, you still have some guts." Dong Tiancheng praised, "Speak up, tell me everything you know."

"Yes, my lord." Zhang San followed Dong Tiancheng's words, and began to talk, "My lord, the villain is good, because I lost my money that day, I thought of going out to get some money back, when the villain went to the Ding's restaurant, Seeing some murderers in black, those men in black intentionally took out a jade pendant from their pockets after the attack was over. This jade pendant has been seen before, it is the jade pendant of the shopkeeper of Ding's Restaurant, The villain originally wanted to take this jade pendant as his own, but before the villain could act, the officials rushed to the scene of the incident."

"Zhang San, where were you when the incident happened?" There were loopholes in Zhang San's statement, and Dong Tiancheng's question to Zhang San was one of the loopholes.

"My lord, when the incident happened, the villain was about five meters away from the place where the murder occurred." Zhang San replied.

"Five meters away? Why didn't the perpetrators find you? Could it be that they are all blind?" The question Dong Tiancheng asked was the second loophole in Zhang San's statement.

"Reporting to my lord, they are not blind, because it was late that day, and the second villain was nested in an inconspicuous dog hole, so those people didn't find the villain." Zhang San replied imperceptibly.

"Zhang San, you just said that it was getting late, right?"

"Yes sir."

"Since it was getting late, how did you recognize that the jade pendant belonged to the shopkeeper of Ding's restaurant?" Dong Tiancheng patted the gavel, pointed at Zhang San who was kneeling in the hall, and reprimanded loudly: "In my opinion, , It is clear that you are lying, tell the truth to the governor quickly, or you will be punished."

A group of yamen servants standing on both sides of the lobby also shouted in unison, "Mighty."

Under such momentum.

Even people who are more courageous than Zhang San will be afraid, not to mention Zhang San, who is far less courageous than these people, under the threat of a gang of yamen servants, Zhang San trembles all over, mouth Li kept shouting that he was wronged and wronged, "My lord, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged."

"It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin, the yamen servants sent people around." Dong Tiancheng casually grabbed a command arrow and made a gesture to throw it out.

Zhang San is an old man who has been through the court, he knew that if the arrow is thrown on the ground, his ass will suffer, so when Dong Tiancheng grabbed the arrow and was about to throw it out, he hurriedly excused himself.

"My lord, don't use punishment, don't use punishment, listen to the villain one by one, after the villain has finished speaking, it will not be too late for the adult to execute the punishment."

"Since this is the case, the governor is giving you a chance to listen to your words." Dong Tiancheng took back the arrow that was about to be thrown out, "If your words dissatisfy the governor, two crimes will be combined into one." , double the punishment."

"The villain knows, the villain knows." Zhang San wiped the sweat from his head with his hands, tried to gather his mind, and said to Dong Tiancheng who was sitting high in the court: "My lord, the sky was relatively dark that night. But the villain did see the jade pendant clearly. First, the villain was relatively close to the scene of the incident, less than five meters away. Second, the man in black who deliberately threw the jade pendant took it out of his arms. When the jade pendant was worn, his person was just under the lantern. Under the light of the lantern, the villain saw the jade pendant clearly and found that the jade pendant was the jade pendant of the shopkeeper of Ding's restaurant. After the men in black left, The villain was about to leave to steal the jade pendant, but just before the villain left, the servants from the yamen arrived."

"Why does this matter sound so weird? It feels like listening to a book." Dong Tiancheng put his chin on his hand and muttered.

"My lord, this matter is true. The villain uses the villain's head as a guarantee." Zhang San was afraid that Dong Tiancheng would not believe it, and that he would not be able to earn the 30 taels of silver, so he panicked.

In a panic.

Shouted the words of head guarantee.

"The governor believes your words for the time being." Dong Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, fixed Zhang San, and asked: "The governor will ask you again, since you are a witness to the whole incident, why didn't you accept Zhang San in the last trial? , did not come out to testify?"

"My lord, I am wronged." Seeing that Dong Tiancheng wanted to make trouble for him, Zhang San hurriedly defended, "It's not that the villain didn't testify, but that the villain was threatened by others, so the villain dared not testify."

"Then why did you dare to testify this time?"

"This time, it's because the presiding judge is you, my lord." Zhang San flattered Dong Tiancheng, "I believe that my lord is not the kind of villain who disregards human life, so I am willing to testify."

"Your flattery, the governor will accept it." Dong Tiancheng said something, turned his head and told Ah Ren, "Ah Er, bring that person here."

"No." Ah Ren took the order and left.

Xu House.

Ah Er, who came here under orders, has thoroughly learned what it means to be unreasonable, and also knows what it feels like to be shut down.

He was a dignified fifth-rank school lieutenant general who came to fetch someone, but was stopped outside the gate of Xu's mansion by the caretaker of Xu's mansion, and even the righteous master did not see him.

To know.

Even in Lin'an City, there were not many people who dared to shut Ah Er's door. After all, behind Ah Er stood Dong Tiancheng, and behind Dong Tiancheng stood the emperor.

Never thought of it.

In this small place.

Ah Er was stopped outside by someone.

For Ah Er, this is a trivial matter that cannot be ignored.

"Get out of the way, or you will be killed without mercy." Ah Er said murderously.

"Blind your dog's eyes." The housekeeper who blocked the way confronted Ah Er: "This is Xu's mansion, not your governor's yamen, don't act wild in Xu's mansion, leave quickly, or don't blame us for being ungrateful face."

"Hey hey hey hey hey..." A'er let out a strange laugh, and before everyone at the scene could react, the knife in his hand came out of its sheath.

The knife flies over the head.

The long knife in Ah Er's scabbard had just been unsheathed, and the head of the housekeeper who stood facing Ah Er flew out.
