Chapter 119: The Murderer and the Knife
There was silence in the courtyard, some with their heads bowed, others shivering.
"Heh, don't admit it, right?" Fang Xile sneered and picked up the jar beside him: "The bottom of this jar is painted with the vermilion bird that the dream worm is most afraid of, after a while, you will take turns to reach out to the jar and hold down the bottom, the dream worm on your body will be forced out, and the time will ......."
Fang Xile glanced at the fire, and the threat was self-evident.
Fang Xile stood in front of the first person with the jar, the man stretched out his hand into the jar nervously, after a few seconds, there was nothing unusual, Fang Xile nodded, and asked him to take the jar to test the others one by one.
The subordinate took the jar and examined them one by one.
Those who passed the test were visibly relieved, while those who went to the back were more nervous.
Pass!
Pass!
.........
The people in front passed through one by one, and the last person was so frightened that his hands trembled, and under the gaze of everyone, he pressed his head to the bottom of the jar.
Half a day, no abnormalities, passed!
Everyone looked at each other, how could this be?
Mrs. Zhao couldn't sit still: "Is there anyone else who hasn't come?"
"Mrs. Hui, there are forty-seven people in the dealer's house, all of them here. ”
"That's ......" Mrs. Zhao looked at Fang Xile at a loss.
Fang Xile was not flustered, and walked in front of everyone: "Stretch out your hand!"
Everyone didn't know why, but they still obediently stretched out their hands.
Fang Xile said while inspecting: "There is no portrait of a vermilion bird in the altar at all, but it is coated with a powder that will glow, and it may not be clear under the sun. The murderer did not dare to put his hand to the bottom of the jar because he was afraid, so the person who did not have the glowing powder on his hand was the murderer. ”
I see, everyone suddenly realized!
It's an old-fashioned trick, but it's also practical.
Well, she just bullied the people of the Qin State and never heard a similar story.
While speaking, Fang Xile stopped in front of a person: "Do you think I am right?"
Everyone's eyes fell on the man, and they were stunned.
The person in front of Fang Xile was actually Bai Xiaolang!
For the first time, everyone looked at this child, Bai Xiaolang did not like to laugh like other children, he always stood in the corner in silence, thin and thin like a yellow-skinned monkey, he would not please adults, he was wearing crumpled clothes, and his hair was unkempt and he hadn't taken care of it seriously for a long time.
Just such a child, a murderer?
Yang was also stunned, she hadn't paid attention to her child for a long time.
Occasionally, the thought that she would be better off if she didn't have children.
Everyone was a little incredulous.
"Your Excellency, are you...... Mistaken?" Yang stumbled.
Fang Xile shook his head: "Dream worms like to live on people with rich imaginations, is there anyone with more imagination than children? ”
Yang's whole person is like petrification, the murderer is Bai Xiaolang, what is he for, is he protecting himself?
Remorse drowned her like a sea, and scenes from the past surfaced in front of him, he always tried to support her with his weak shoulders, but what did she do?
Beat him, scold him, vent his anger!
Tears welled up uncontrollably and flowed out of his eyes.
"No, he won't,......"
But no one listened to her anymore, everyone stared at Bai Xiaolang, with fear, disgust, and hatred in their eyes.
Mrs. Zhao suddenly got up: "My lord, since ancient times, I hope that my lord can avenge my Heng'er!"
"Exactly, I hope that my lord will avenge my son!"
Fang Xile smiled slightly: "Master Zhuang, Mrs. Zhao, don't worry, Bai Xiaolang killed someone, but to be exact, he is not a murderer." ”
Everyone was in an uproar, how could someone who killed someone not be a murderer, could this great commander not see Bai Xiaolang pitiful and wanted to protect him?
"Mrs. Zhao, you said that someone killed someone with a knife, is the person the murderer, or is the knife?"
Mrs. Zhao was a little strange, what kind of problem was this: "Of course people are murderers!"
"Then do you want to take revenge, find Bai Xiaolang, or the person who instructed him behind his back?"
Everyone was shocked, and they raised their interest again, there was someone behind Bai Xiaolang who instructed, who could it be?
Fang Xile leaned down: "Bai Xiaolang?"
The boy lifted his black-and-white eyes and took a wary step back.
"Who is the one who commanded you?"
The boy bared his teeth and stared at her viciously: "It's me! I hate Zhuang Heng!"
"Shut up!" Yang hurriedly went to gag the child's mouth.
"Oh, didn't Yang and Zhuang Yongfu instruct you to do this?"
As soon as these words came out, some people were confused and didn't know why, but some people were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and their hearts were restless.
Yang and Zhuang Yongfu's faces turned white, and the hands hidden under their sleeves couldn't help but tremble.
Fang Xile straightened up and said slowly: "I always thought that Zhuang Heng was killed because of the property of the Zhuang Mansion, but today I found out that things are not so simple. The day before yesterday, I asked the arresters to investigate the affairs of the Zhuang Mansion, so they monitored the Zhuang Mansion day and night and found something interesting.
Bai Xiaolang once sent something to Zhuang Yongfu, and he gave him a pair of socks. ”
"This," Zhuang Yongfu calmed down: "I accidentally dropped the socks and was found by Bai Xiaolang!"
"Oh, do you have a habit of taking off your shoes and socks everywhere outside? Didn't you leave those socks in Yang's room?"
Everyone gasped.
"I, I ......"
Fang Xile ignored him and continued: "After learning about this matter, I immediately tortured the Yang family's maid, and I learned another thing, you were dating behind the rockery, and you happened to be bumped into by Zhuang Heng!"
You are afraid that the matter will be leaked, and the Yang family happens to know Bai Xiaolang's ability, so he forced Bai Xiaolang to kill Zhuang Heng, right!"
Zhuang Yonglong's fingers trembled with anger: "I asked myself if I took you well, how could you do such a life-threatening thing!"
"Zhuang Yongfu has Yang's maid to testify, do you still have to quibble?"
Knowing that the general trend had gone, Zhuang Yongfu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Big brother, it was the Yang family who seduced me, and I didn't kill Heng'er, he is my nephew, how could I do that kind of thing, it's all the Yang family's poisonous woman!"
"No, I didn't!" Yang shook his head again and again, and Zhuang Yongfu's matter was exposed, she still had a glimmer of life, but if she confessed to the crime of killing Zhuang Heng, it would be a catastrophe.
"I didn't instruct Xiaolang, Master Mingjian, it's really not me!"
Everyone looked at the two of them with disgust, one was a scholar, and when something happened, he pushed it on a woman, and the other was a mother, and when something happened, he pushed it on a child, phew, what a shameless pair!
Bai Xiaolang looked at Yang's eyes with red circles, and he tried to hold back his tears and took a step forward: "No one instructed me, I killed the person!
Everyone looked at the guilty, filial child, he knew to protect his mother at such a young age, fortunately, Lord Fang was aware of everything, otherwise he would be wrong to blame the child!
