1783 The honest man takes over
Shen Yue is not arbitrary. Even if Nie Shan doubts him at first, he will not act arbitrarily by relying on the power given by Zhao Ji.
He knows that there are dangers at hand.
All counterattacks will explode!
If he keeps his promises and acts righteously, he will naturally encounter strong counterattacks from those who are not righteous, even though those people do not think that he is wrong.
The Huyantong murder case didn't seem worth his effort, but he knew it was the tipping point for the opponent's counterattack and his solution.
"I think Master Nie knows a little bit about my idea..."
Shen Yue said patiently, "Someone controlled Hu Yantong to kill someone, and then kidnapped Hu Yantong's daughter and threatened him to confess truthfully. Otherwise, how could Hu Yantong confess so quickly in confusion?"
Looking at Nie Shan, Shen Yue said slowly, "Hu Yantong still has his wife and daughter. Could it be that he never thought about them, so why did he come to plead guilty in such a hurry?"
Nie Shan narrowed his eyes, "Then what does Mr. Shen think he is doing?"
Shen Yue said clearly, "Because someone told him that his daughter had fallen into the hands of the murderer. If he did not plead guilty, his daughter's life would be at risk."
Hu Yantong was surprised. Although he didn't say anything, his expression proved that Shen Yue was right.
Nie Shan glanced at Hu Yantong and said slowly, "I'm afraid this is also Mr. Shen's guess." He is not stubborn, but adheres to principles.
If all the judges believed in the criminals, there would be no need for judges at all. Too many criminals are wearing honest skins and acting cunningly.
Criminals know better about disguise.
Shen Yue shook his head and said, "It's not speculation, it's the truth. What you need to know is that when Hu Yantong committed the crime, he didn't know that something was wrong with his family. At that time, he was still thinking of bringing some cakes to his daughter. According to the evidence recorded in the case "There are indeed cakes on Hu Yantong's body. This evidence proves that some of Hu Yantong's testimony is correct."
Nie Shan remained silent, but was thinking about Shen Yue's intentions.
"In other words, if the murderer wants to force Hu Yantong to confess immediately, he must tell Hu Yantong that something is wrong with his daughter after he wakes up."
Shen Yue's eyes passed over the people inside and outside the cell.
Before that, he had already seen everyone's expressions in his eyes.
Nie Shan was not stupid. Hearing this, he finally understood and said, "Mr. Shen thinks that the murderer's accomplice is hiding here and is a government servant of Kaifeng Mansion?"
Only the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion can do what Shen Yue said!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned and couldn't help but distance themselves from others.
Liang Hongyu secretly looked awe-inspiring and quietly watched Mrs. Huyan and Chuyue closely. Only now did she understand the purpose of Shen Yue's order to her.
There really is a traitor lurking!
A fatal attack is about to be launched at any time?
Everyone was panicked, and there was a moment of silence in the prison.
Nie Shan inhaled slightly, "Who does Mr. Shen think that yamen servant will be?" As he spoke, his eyes had already fallen on several yamen servants.
Without him having to say more, everyone understood that Nie Shan felt that those government officials were most likely to approach Hu Yantong and blackmail Hu Yantong into confessing.
The government officials looked at each other with fear.
Shen Yue looked at Hu Yantong, "Don't you remember who the yamen officer was who warned you?"
At that time, Huyantong was in an extremely chaotic situation. If the other party was covering up, it would be difficult for Huyantong to distinguish.
Sure enough, Hu Yantong was confused again, "I...I don't know, Mr. Shen, I'm sorry."
He felt very guilty, secretly thinking that Shen Yue would try his best to reverse the case for him, but he was so confused that he couldn't tell the difference.
Shen Yue raised his voice and said, "Why feel guilty? Who can live a life without making mistakes, and who can live a sober life? If regret does not allow you to make progress and make corrections, it will become a cage that imprisons you."
Turning his head suddenly, Shen Yue also looked at the government servants Nie Shan was looking at, and then at the honest and responsible government servant on the far left, "What is your surname?"
Shen Yue's direction was very clear. Everyone couldn't help but look at the yamen servant, and some of his companions showed confused expressions.
The honest yamen servant was a little surprised. He looked around and then pointed to the tip of his nose, "Master Shen, are you talking to me?"
Shen Yue smiled and said, "Not bad."
The yamen servant was honest and kind, "Little man Li Shi. They all call me Shitou." He scratched his head and smiled.
A government official on the side said, "This is the most honest person in Kaifeng Mansion." The implication is that Shen Yue must have found the wrong person.
Shen Yue said calmly, "Who are you?"
The officer who followed him hesitated and said, "Wu Yong, the villain."
When Shen Yue heard this name, he was startled for a moment, but he knew that this person was definitely not the Zhi Duoxing he knew from Water Margin. He said lightly, "Then are you really useless?"
Some people wanted to laugh.
Wu Yong said slightly embarrassed, "It's not necessarily useless to call me Wu Yong."
Shen Yue immediately said, "That person named Li Shi may not be a truly honest person." Staring at Li Shi, Shen Yue said word by word, "You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. You just Spread the news and force Huyantong to confess those who confessed."
After saying that, the cell fell silent.
But many people didn't believe it, secretly thinking that Shen Yue might be terribly wrong this time.
Wang Zongliu thought even more, could it be that Shen Yue also liked to frame the blame, and in order to clear Hu Yantong's wrongdoing, he wanted to find a scapegoat?
Li Shi stood there, looking like a piece of wood. After a while, he said, "Sir... Sir, are you kidding me?"
Everyone wanted to laugh.
Shen Yue didn't smile at all. On the contrary, he was a little wary.
Liang Hongyu was awestruck. She knew a lot about Shen Yue and knew that there weren't many things that could make Shen Yue wary.
Shen Yue sighed softly, "I underestimated you."
Li Shi said in confusion, "I really don't understand what Master Shen means."
Nie Shan suddenly frowned.
Shen Yue said slowly, "You pretend to be okay, but you have forgotten one thing. When a truly honest person hears my confession, shouldn't he be frightened to defend himself, or even kneel down to redress his grievances?"
Nie Shan frowned, he had just thought of this.
The real judgment when deciding a case comes from knowing the details of life.
Li Shi fell silent.
"You think you have done a good job in many aspects, but in my opinion, you are still far behind."
Shen Yue said slowly, "You are not Li Shi!"
The government servants beside Li Shi looked shocked and suddenly scattered around.
Shen Yue continued, "You know that honest people are stereotyped in the eyes of ordinary people and will not even be looked at twice. That's why you chose to disguise yourself as Li Shi, and Li Shi was killed by you?"
"Li Shi" was silent, and the government officials around him looked confused.
They all knew Li Shi, but in their memories, Li Shi was just a symbol and did not leave a deep impression on them, so they really could not tell the difference between the man in front of them and Li Shi.
Who would pay any attention to a loser?
But how did Shen Yue discover the problem?
Shen Yue said soberly: "Li Shi's identity is very suitable for your infiltration. You really pretend to be an honest person, but you have forgotten that cowardly and honest people will become even more angry after being wronged!"
