Chapter 22-Ironclad Evidence, Wei Zheng's Condemnation?
"Wei Zheng?"
Lu Qing was stunned.
In the Great Tang, you might not know that the Minister of Judicial Review was Xiao Yu.
You might not know that the Prime Minister is Fang Xuanling.
You might not even know that the Crown Prince was Li Chengqian.
But you definitely know that the big troll is Wei Zheng!
After all, Wei Zheng's story of being a troll was still well-known to everyone more than 1,000 years later. Which child hadn't learned from the textbook that Wei Zheng's story of Li Shimin jumping up and down, and then being praised by Empress Zhangsun, saying that the more Wei Zheng spat, the more loyal he was.
In the end, after Wei Zheng died, Li Shimin even said something as profound as "using others as a mirror".
Wei Zheng's name was passed down through the ages with the power of trolls. He was respected by countless trolls in the future and was called the founder. His incense burned continuously for thousands of years. It could be said that he had become a god with his trolls!
How did such a god suddenly get involved in a case?
"What happened?" Lu Qing asked.
"It happened yesterday," Han Min quickly said.”
"At noon yesterday, I received a report that there was a murder in the Cheng family restaurant. I immediately rushed over with my men.”
" When I arrived, I discovered that…the deceased was a woman, and the murderer…"
He looked up at Lu Qing and said,""It's Lord Wei Zheng."
"Murderer?" Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion. Why did he directly say that Wei Zheng was the murderer?”
Han Min said," Because I asked. At that time, it was the waiter who went to deliver the dishes to the private room, but the door was locked from the inside. He knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside. Just as he didn't know what was going on, a scream suddenly came from inside the room.”
" The waiter was scared out of his wits. He was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly went to inform the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper then called the customers in the restaurant to break the door together. After they broke the door open…they found…"
"What did you discover?"
"I found Lord Wei Zheng holding a knife in his hand and sitting beside the corpse. That woman is already dead.”
Han Min looked at Lu Qing and said," So this is basically a gathering of witnesses and evidence. It's simply irrefutable evidence."”
In ancient times, when handling cases, it was important to gather evidence and witnesses.
As long as these two pieces of evidence were complete, it would be enough to convict the criminal regardless of whether he confessed or not.
Therefore, Wei Zheng's case was no longer irrefutable evidence. This was directly putting his head on the dog head chopper.
There was simply no more solid evidence than this.
Lu Qing looked at Han Min and said lazily,""Since the evidence is irrefutable, what else is there to think about? If we kill you, you can still have the reputation of not fearing power.”
Han Min trembled in fear.
He quickly said," Lord Shaoqing, don't make fun of me. This is Lord Wei, the Lord Wei who is respected by countless people in the world. If I really kill Wei Zheng, they can drown me with their spit."”
"What's wrong with Wei Zheng? A life for a life. Even the emperor was punished the same as the common people. What was he?”
"If you don't dare, then hand it over to the Supreme Court and I'll kill it for you." Lu Qing said lightly.”
“……”
Han Min did not dare to let Lu Qing continue. She said,"Lord Shaoqing, stop teasing me. Lord Wei Zheng is upright and upright. Everyone in the world knows him. How could he kill someone?”
Lu Qing's finger gently slid across the table and said,""He said he didn't kill her?"
Han Min nodded." I've asked. Wei Zheng said that the reason why he went to the Cheng Family Restaurant was because someone sent him a letter saying that he wanted to report an official's disregard for human lives and corruption. So, Lord Wei went.”
"But Lord Wei said that when he arrived at the room, he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found a corpse beside him with a dagger in his hand. Before he could throw the dagger away, the door was knocked open…That was what those people in the restaurant saw.”
"That's why Lord Wei said that he didn't know what was going on and became the murderer.”
Lu Qing listened to Han Min's explanation quietly. A scene began to appear in his mind according to Han Min's description.
"You believe Wei Zheng?" he asked after pondering for a moment.”
Han Min smiled bitterly." I don't know if I should believe it or not. But I still believe in Lord Wei's character. I think Lord Wei is the kind of person who will definitely admit it once he does it. So…"
"So you think he was framed?”Lu Qing said.
Han Min was silent for a moment, then nodded.
He said," Lord Shaoqing, I really don't have a clue about this case. There are witnesses and evidence. I can't help Lord Wei at all. So…the only one who can save Lord Wei is Lord Shaoqing. I hope Lord Shaoqing can help."”
Lu Qing did not respond to Han Min. He carefully thought about the ins and outs of the case. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"It's an interesting case."
He looked at Han Min and said,"You can make a move, but there are two conditions."”
"Sir, please speak."
"First, use the normal procedures to hand over the case to the Supreme Court, or we can work together to investigate the case. Otherwise, I can't easily intervene.”
"That's easy to say. This lowly official has already reported it to the Supreme Court, and Lord Xiao has also agreed.”
Lu Qing nodded. He was the one who volunteered to help Lu Shisan with the missing woman case, so it was fine if Han Min took the credit.
However, he would not always be someone else's benefactor.
Since he had to spend so much effort to investigate, the credit naturally belonged to him.
"Secondly, you are not allowed to affect me during the investigation.”
"Affect?" "I don't understand."”
Lu Qing glanced at him and said," Before the case is solved, anyone is a suspect. Moreover, Wei Zheng has conclusive evidence and is the most suspicious person. Therefore…stop complaining about Wei Zheng being framed."”
"I don't care about Wei Zheng's character. I only value evidence. Whoever the evidence says is the murderer is the murderer! No matter who it is, as long as the evidence says that he broke the law, then no matter who he is..."
"You'll have to pay with your life!" Lu Qing said firmly.”
At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly emitted a solemn and solemn aura, causing Han Min to unknowingly feel that she was inferior to him.
He didn't know when he had stopped arguing with Lu Qing.
"Yes, I will remember it and will not affect you.”
Lu Qing nodded slightly. He stood up and flung his sleeves. The tiger head on his black robe seemed to come alive again under the sunlight.
Its fangs were bared as if it wanted to devour all creatures in the darkness.
"Let's go to the crime scene. This official wants to see what exactly happened with the irrefutable evidence.”
