Chapter 150: Death
Zhu Ming did not hesitate to swear in order to let Gao Renhe hand over the account books, but Gao Renhe didn't believe this set at all, who wouldn't swear it, how many times would he have died if the oath was useful. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"My lord, it's not that the villain doesn't believe you, the villain is really afraid. You can rest assured, the villain swears that as long as the villain escapes safely, he will repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse in the next life. Gao Renhe also swore.
Zhu Ming: ......
In the end, Zhu Ming could only leave the cell through gritted teeth.
"You can't be pinched by his nose, Master Song, early tomorrow morning, you will take two officials to raid the Gao Mansion, the focus is on the study, don't let go of a piece of paper, see if you can find the account book." Zhu Ming came out of the cell and said fiercely.
Maybe it was the excesses of the enlightened monks who played a role, the eerie feeling that surrounded everyone just now was gone, and the gusts of wind were no longer blowing, so the crowd was bold enough to surround them, curiously watching an old doctor with gray hair and strong spirits loudly instructing the servants to carefully pick up the bones.
The officials shook their legs one by one with sad faces and moved forward slowly, their hearts were both afraid and afraid, this is a dead man's bone, and it is said that there are resentful spirits, what if it is stained?
Seeing this, the old doctor said impatiently to Zhu Ming: "My lord, the old man sees that these servants are as timid as a mouse, so it is better to let the old man's apprentice go." ”
Master Song scolded in his heart: Didn't you ask me to tell him to make some preparations, so he came late? Didn't you hint that those officials deliberately delayed time, so they took it slowly? But he still responded: "He seemed to have an upset stomach just now and went to the thatched house, and he came over immediately." ”
Sure enough, a loud voice came from the back of the crowd: "Coming, coming, the adult forgives the sin, the villain was a little uncomfortable with his stomach just now, and he was late." ”
Lin Xiaohan looked up and saw a tall man with a mustache and a felt hat coming out from behind the crowd, holding a toolbox in his hand, grinning and nodding to Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ming waved his hand impatiently, and hurriedly ran towards the coffin that had been opened.
Lin Xiaohan stared at him, frowning, and her intuition told her that there might be something wrong with this person. Because she knew that Zhu Ming and Gao Renhe would not compromise so easily, and it was impossible to watch themselves in trouble, they would definitely do something in the process of bone examination. So she whispered to Chu Zhao to step forward and stare at him. Because he is the only one who is the most suitable on the scene, with his eyesight, it is impossible to hide from him.
Sure enough, seeing Chu Zhao walking over, a trace of annoyance flashed in Zhu Ming's eyes, staring at Chu Zhao's back and grinding his teeth secretly, cursing in his heart. Chu Zhao suddenly turned his head to look at him as if he had eyes behind his back, Zhu Ming was startled and hurriedly lowered his head.
All this was seen by Huang Fuhao, and he couldn't help nodding secretly, the little girl was really careful, and her grasp of people's hearts was very accurate, just like what she said to Zhu Ming just now, Zhu Ming was held high, and even the name of the history came out, who can refuse such a temptation. Although Zhu Ming came to his senses later, Lin Xiaohan came to the sentence "For the innocent people in the world who have suffered or are suffering or will suffer injustices in the future" is simply roasting him on the fire, forcing Zhu Ming to compromise, and now he sees that there may be a problem with his work, and sends Chu Zhao, a martial arts master, to watch, this little girl is indeed not simple!
The old doctor standing next to the coffin was Dr. Yu, this was the third time he had cooperated with Lin Xiaohan, but this time he came with great excitement. Because this time it is likely that in his hands will verify an unprecedented method of autopsy, revealing a secret that has been buried for more than ten years. How could he not be excited? He wanted to do everything himself. But Lin Xiaohan told him that in order to block some people's mouths, it was best to participate in the whole process, and Lin Xiaohan believed that the county magistrate would not let go of this opportunity to participate for some ulterior reasons.
At that moment, the body was carefully taken out of the coffin, washed and began to do a preliminary examination: the deceased was a female, between 16 and 20 years old, and the bones were intact with no obvious signs of damage.
Next, he proceeded in an orderly manner according to the steps Lin Xiaohan had said before, and Doctor Yu and Chu Zhao stared at him tightly. It's just that I found that I seemed to be nervous, my hands and feet were stiff, and I was even a little shaking. Just because when he was standing next to the coffin just now, for a moment he suddenly felt a numbness in his waist, and his hands and feet couldn't move, and then a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "If you dare to play any tricks, be careful of your dog's life! Yes, I will stand beside you and watch you, and nothing can hide from my eyes." ”
He was so frightened that he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound, and he wanted to turn his head to look around, but his body couldn't move. When I was very scared in my heart, the voice came from my ear again: "Now you believe it, I have clicked on your acupoint, so you can't move or speak, now I'll untie it for you, don't show anything strange, and honestly follow Dr. Yu's instructions, otherwise...... Hey, hey, hey. ”
The creepy laughter disappeared, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his head, and he subconsciously reached out and wiped his head with the sleeve of his coat, and realized that he could move. He shook his head, calmed down, didn't dare to speak, let alone look around, and stiffly followed Dr. Yu's words with his hands and feet.
Zhu Ming, Huang Fuhao and others, who were paying close attention to all this, discovered the strangeness of the work, and knew that there was a reason for this, and this reason was related to Chu Zhao who was standing beside him, but Chu Zhao used the secret sound to the ear, which was the unique secret technique of this sect. No one else knows, so no one knows what's going on unless they experience it firsthand.
After the charcoal fire is placed in the cellar and burned red, wine and vinegar are poured in, and then the bones that have been strung together on bamboo mats are carried into the cellar and covered with straw mats. Time passed, and everyone waited in silence. Some people's inner torment is like ants on a hot pot, such as Gao Renhe, who is secretly thinking about how to get rid of his guilt if it is really detected. Some people are calm and relaxed, but they are actually a little uneasy in their hearts, such as Lin Xiaohan. Because all this is just a method I learned from watching TV in my previous life, I don't know if it will work. What if it can't be tested?
An hour passed, and in the expectant eyes of everyone, the straw mat was uncovered, and Dr. Yu carefully took out the bones and put them in a bright place. Dr. Yu immediately took out the blade and scraped it carefully, and the apprentice next to him immediately handed over a bowl of water, and Dr. Yu put the black liquid scraped off the blade in the water, first sniffed it carefully, and then opened the toolbox and began to test it.
Everyone surrounded them, and Gao Renhe watched all this with a pale face on the side, anxious and uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any moves in front of everyone's eyes. Suddenly, Dr. Yu's face was happy, and he stood up with a smile.
"Doctor Yu, is there a result?" Lin Xiaohan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and asked with a smile.
"Exactly. Doctor Yu stroked his gray beard and said, "The old decay has been tested, the poison in this is arsenic, arsenic is highly poisonous, overdose will cause people to die immediately, but if you take a little every day, your life will be fine, but over time it will make people weaker and weaker, and eventually die of poison." ”
The crowd suddenly exploded:
"What? It seems that what Dong Lixin and Zhang Li said is true, this Miss Dong was really poisoned by Gao Renhe. ”
"The facts are there, see how he quibbles. I really didn't expect him to be such a human-faced and beast-hearted guy, who killed his father-in-law, raped his mother-in-law, and poisoned his wife. It's so vicious, it's really a beast!"
"Master Dong is really blind, and he recruited a son-in-law who came to the door but killed the whole family. Hey, if only I had been recruited, at least the three of them would be alive and well now. ”
"Hahaha, leper Zhang, you daydream, look at your bear-like, who can look at you, you are in your forties, and you are still a single!"
"What's wrong with the leper, at least I don't have a bad heart, I can't kill people and set fires, it's much stronger than this surname. ”
"Hahaha, look at you, you're still proud of ......"
The crowd at the scene was discussing, laughing, and pointing at Gao Renhe.
Gao Renhe held a mouthful of old blood in his throat, stared at these people fiercely, then lowered his head, took a step forward and knelt down towards Zhu Ming, and wept bitterly: "My lord, the little people are wronged, wronged! All this is Lin Xiaohan's conspiracy, she has a grudge against my daughter for buying a murder case, so she wants to put Gao to death, all of this is done by her and Dong Lixin and this Doctor Yu." I beg the adults to be aware of everything and give the people justice!" After speaking, he kowtowed again and again, and the blood flowed from his forehead.
Ning woke up from the shock, and at this time, he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowing and shouting grievances together. If the old man falls, the family will collapse.
It's just that no one sympathizes with him anymore, and no one believes his sophistry anymore. Although Zhu Ming had the heart to protect him, he looked at Lin Xiaohan and Chu Zhao with blazing eyes, as well as the crowd of excited onlookers, so he had no choice but to shout: "Shut up, the facts are there, don't allow you to quibble, come here, lock Gao Renhe, put him in prison, and wait for the prefect to be punished!"
Hearing this, Li Zhutou personally stepped forward and tied Gao Renhe firmly with chains. Gao Renhe struggled and shouted: "My lord, the small people are wronged, I ask the adults to see it." Ning stepped forward and grabbed Gao Renhe's arm, crying loudly, and there was no image of the noble lady of the past.
Zhu Ming turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it directly, waved his hand, and motioned for the official to take it away.
Gao Ren and Da Anxious shouted loudly: "My lord, I have an account book at home......
Account books, what account books, is it ...... Zhu Ming's heart was shocked, and he shouted: "Plug his mouth and escort me." ”
Master Song, who had long felt that something was wrong, hurriedly stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to block Gao Renhe's mouth, Gao Renhe struggled, and his mouth kept whining.
Seeing this, Master Song was busy whispering in his ear: "Quiet, Master Gao, the county commander is also helpless, but don't worry, he will definitely find a way to save you, but if you make trouble now, no one can save you." ”
When Gao Renhe heard this, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, that's right, he had his handle in his hand, and he didn't dare not save it, so he immediately silenced and looked at Master Song and nodded. Seeing this, Master Song took off the handkerchief in his mouth, quietly admonished "wait for the third watch", and then stood up and pretended to say loudly: "Gao Renhe, the facts are there, you are not allowed to quibble, you obediently confess your guilt and surrender to the law, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." Gao Renhe lowered his head and did not squeak.
Everyone only saw what Master Song said in Gao Renhe's ear, and then Gao Renhe quieted down, although he felt strange in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, but he just whispered in private what the "account book" that Gao Renhe said just now was.
Lin Xiaohan can naturally guess what the "account book" is, based on the experience of his previous life, Zhu Ming and Gao Renhe must have colluded between officials and businessmen, and there are ulterior secrets. But she is not the emperor, she has no obligation or ability to pull down this corrupt official, she just wants to solve the big trouble of the henchman surnamed Gao in front of her.
As for the surname Zhu, when she has the ability and opportunity in the future, she might as well eliminate harm for the people, and all this will fall on her younger brother Spring Equinox.
But what she didn't know was that there were several "capable people" at the scene, who were secretly watching all this, and they saw the strangeness at a glance, and were planning how to get rid of this moth.
Knocking down Gao Renhe, Lin Xiaohan breathed a sigh of relief, and happily beckoned his brother and younger brother home. On the contrary, Zhu Ming held his breath in his heart, and was a little uneasy, what was the "account book" that Gao Renhe said just now, was it what he thought. This old fox can't be kept. But he can't die yet, at least only after the books are found.
In the middle of the night, the jailer guarding the cell was sleeping soundly with a knife in his arms, when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and the jailer woke up from his dream and shouted, "Who?"
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face: "It turned out to be Master Song, it's so late, what are your instructions for coming over?" After speaking, he glanced at the person behind Master Song who was wearing a cloak and a hood and couldn't see his face clearly, and muttered in his heart what kind of person this is, so mysterious.
Master Song said solemnly: "How can you sleep while you are on duty? If something happens, or someone robs the prison, do you want this errand?"
When the jailer heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master Song, the villain is wrong, I don't dare anymore, please don't tell the adults about this, there is a sick old mother in the villain's house, and there are nursing children, so I can't lose this errand." After speaking, he took out a money bag from his arms and stuffed it, and his heart was dripping blood, this is his month's salary, he just got it today, and he is about to send it out before he gets it.
Master Song stretched out his hand to block him: "Forget it this time, and work hard in the future." Your Excellency has sent me to interrogate the prisoner, but you are here to keep watch, just give me the key. ”
"Okay, okay, master, please take care of yourself. The jailer nodded and untied the key from his waist, not daring to ask who the mysterious man in black was.
Master Song took the key and took the mysterious person to the cell.
It was the middle of the night, and the prisoners were almost asleep, and the two of them quietly came to the innermost cell A. 1. It was here that Gao Renhe was imprisoned.
This cell was relatively clean, with clean straw on the floor, and there were mattresses and quilts on the straw, all of which were sent by Ning's jailers. There was a small desk in the corner with food on it. Although Gao Renhe was in prison, he was not particularly anxious in his heart because of Master Song's assurance, and was lying in the warm quilt at this time resting with his eyes closed. Hearing the sound of unlocking chains, he hurriedly got up, and it was a little strange to see that it was Master Song who came in with a man in black.
But when the man in black lifted his hood, he hurriedly knelt down: "Ah, sir, you are here." ”
It turned out that the man in black was Zhu Ming. He stepped forward to personally help Gao Renhe, and smiled kindly: "Brother Renhe, you have been wronged. At that time, I was forced to take this approach temporarily. But don't worry, with our years of friendship, I will definitely find a way to get you out, and you don't have to worry about it. ”
Gao Renhe said gratefully: "Thank you, the villain is grateful, and when the villain gets through this crisis, he will not forget the kindness of the adult." But he sneered in his heart, if he hadn't been cautious and careful to keep his back hand, maybe he would never have been able to get out again, and sure enough, no one in this world could believe it except himself.
Zhu Ming comforted him with a smile on his face, and then asked tentatively, "Brother Renhe, what's going on with the account book you talked about before?"
Gao Renhe smiled: "My lord, what do you think is what it is." ”
Zhu Ming's face turned pale, and he secretly hated in his heart: this old thing is not only ruthless but also cunning like a fox.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was cold, Master Song hurriedly played a round: "My lord, Master Gao, the friendship between the two of you for more than ten years is not worth hurting for this, it is better to calm down and think about what good way to solve the current dilemma." ”
"Adult, forgive me, the villain said the wrong thing in a hurry. Seeing this, Gao Renhe hurriedly said a few good words with a smiling face.
Zhu Ming got off the donkey, and his face softened slightly: "That's it, what is Master Song's good plan?"
Master Song's eyes rolled: "There is a plan for his subordinates, and that is Li Dai Taozhuang." ”
Li Dai Tao stiff, yes, there are so many death row inmates in the prison, just find one to replace him, strangle him to death, and then disguise himself as hanging. When the rumor passed, he quietly sent Gao Renhe out of the county seat and changed his face to live in other places.
Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction, although Gao Renhe was unwilling, but he knew that with Chu Zhao here, he couldn't deal with Lin Xiaohan's family. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and there is always a time when Chu Zhao is not there, and then the opportunity for his revenge will come.
When the two sides reached an agreement, Zhu Ming gave Master Song a look, and Master Song understood and pulled Gao Ren and knocked on the side to pick up the account book.
Gao Renhe is naturally not stupid, he just blindly plays Tai Chi, anyway, he and Zhu Ming are already torn faces, so naturally they can't easily hand over their life talismans.
Seeing that Zhu Ming's face was getting darker and darker, Gao Renhe also stopped: "Don't worry, as long as the villain leaves the county safely, that thing will be served with both hands." ”
"Can't you still trust me?" This official swears that he will keep you safe, and if you violate this oath, you will make me thunder five times in the sky!" (To be continued.) )
