Two days later in the afternoon.
The poisoned cattle case was retried.
Jia Shidao sat in the courtroom, while Baili Tang sat to the side, watching the show. The palace maids were fanning him respectfully.
Obviously, Jia Shidao had made preparations and asked his lawyer to bribe someone in advance to take the blame.
But this person is not Pang Wupi.
But it was a young man from Pangjiazhuang who usually had a conflict with Liang Erhu.
The young man admitted that everything was his doing: "...the common people spread arsenic on the green grass that the cows could eat..."
Today, Liang Erhu had finally learned his lesson and wasn't as reckless as he was that day. Even though he knew the man was lying, he remained silent. Liang Qiuyu also noticed something was amiss. Captain Li and the others stood still.
Baili Tang interrupted the young man and said, "Could you tell me how long it takes for the cow to develop symptoms after eating arsenic, and what are the symptoms?"
Young man: "Your Majesty, I saw that after the cow ate arsenic, it immediately became ill, collapsed, and foamed at the mouth."
Baili Tang: "That guy, you went to the scene at that time, was it as he said?" Baili Tang probably forgot the man's name.
"That guy" was referring to the young imperial physician who had accompanied him to the crime scene the day before. He shook his head and lied, "Not really. After a person ingests a sufficient amount of arsenic, the effects would take at least half a cup of tea to manifest."
A cup of tea, fifteen minutes.
Baili Tang asked the young man with a smile, "Is your hobby really that peculiar? After poisoning someone's cow, you waited for half a cup of tea, waiting for the cow to foam at the mouth and suddenly die, before leaving the scene? Are you afraid that others didn't see you poisoning someone's cow?"
Some people want to laugh, but they dare not!
On the contrary, Jia Shidao and Pang Taishi were so scared that they were sweating all over.
The young man looked at Pang Teshi and asked him what to say.
A tyrant king is still a king!!
"You are such a rude and unruly person! His Majesty is asking you a question! Why don't you confess immediately?"
After being yelled at by Jia Shidao, the young man trembled even more: "I...I..." I'm not that kind of person...
All decent people have to run away.
Liang Qiuyu's eyes were filled with confusion. She was puzzled as to why the tyrant emperor would ask such questions, seemingly trying to cause the young people to contradict themselves and lose their composure.
Baili Tang asked Jia Shi, "What is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Jia Shidao quickly wiped his sweat: "...the crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime!"
The young man's mental state was weak. He kowtowed repeatedly and quickly confessed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. It was Master Pang who instigated me..." Wasn't it said to be a minor crime? How could this be deceiving the emperor?
Jia Shidao took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Master Pang, didn't you tell me that the case has been solved?!"
Master Pang knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I also heard from Captain Li..." He pulled one by one.
Poor Captain Li, if the people beside him hadn't pushed him, he wouldn't have known to kneel down: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Master Pang's nonsense. This case has been at a loss so far. I didn't have time to report to Your Majesty that day, so I told Master Pang the truth first. Master Pang said he would report the truth to Master Jia, but who would have thought..."
This Captain Li is quite a man. All Jia Shidao needs to do next is to insist that it was Master Pang who did it secretly. It is no longer their business.
Jia Shidao quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I was also deceived by Pang Taishi..."
Baili Tang waved his hand and said, "Wow...you guys are so brave! First, each of you will be lashed with fifty strokes. As usual, if you shout, you get one more stroke."
Fifty punishments?
Wouldn't that make your skin burst?
Hehe, being a tyrant is still quite interesting.
Jia Shidao, Pang Taishi, Captain Li and the young man who gave false testimony were all beaten with a stick.
Liang Erhu really wanted to scream!
So cool!
The people still didn't dare to say a word.
Eunuch Yang thought to himself: "Ever since His Majesty was struck by lightning, his temper has been getting worse by the day. How dare you deceive the emperor?!"
Every time he fought a battle, Jia Shidao relied on his thoughts to support his soul - in two days, the building will be repaired, and you, the tyrant king, just wait to be struck by lightning again!
At that time, don’t dream that I will be merciful and burn a piece of paper money for you!
Pontesi and the young man fainted halfway through the beating.
Captain Li remained silent from beginning to end. He was quite the man.
Instead, Jia Shidao ordered someone to stuff something into his mouth to prevent him from crying out. He was almost unable to hold on any longer!
The beating is over.
Baili Tang stood up and said, "Master Jia, you spent two days on a case that could be solved in half a cup of tea... You really should step down."
Then he walked up to Liang Erhu and said, "Stand up and talk."
Liang Erhu stuttered, "Thank you... Your Majesty."
Baili Tang: "Identify all the suspects you think they are."
Liang Erhu still insisted that Pang Wupi was the only one who could do it. Because Pang Wupi and he had fought many times in the past!
Baili Tang also picked a few.
Liang Erhu's family of three, Liang Qiuyu, the young man who gave false testimony, and Pang Wupi.
What does the tyrant want to do?
Solve the case in half a cup of tea?
Don't brag!
"I suspect that whoever poisoned the cows didn't spread the arsenic in the grass, but rather pulled up a handful of tender grass and placed the arsenic in the middle of it... I'm investigating a case, and anyone who lowers their head is a suspect. You must look me in the eye."
Baili Tang stood in front of Liang Erhu. This guy was "a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger" and just looked at him. Liang Erhu thought to himself that this tyrant king was really fat...
"You are still a strong suspect." Baili Tang patted Liang Erhu's shoulder and walked back and forth in front of the group, causing their pressure to increase suddenly. "So the perpetrator must have traces of weeding on his hands."
As a result, except for Liang Qiuyu, everyone had grass stains on their hands.
