Chapter 5 Antique Shop (5)

He was thin and small, trembling and kneeling on the ground, shaking like a wine flag in the wind, and he had lost his soul.

Lord Qin decided that he was a murderer in his heart, and pressed the question more urgently, not giving him the slightest leeway. He couldn't stand the indiscriminate bombardment, and finally said, "The little one didn't kill the Liu family." ”

"Since you didn't kill Liu, why did you use a blindfold to cover up the scars on her body."

He hesitated slightly, and then said, "The night Liu died, the little one met her. Also, it did a good thing. ”

Lord Qin was rigid in his bones, and when he heard such immoral things, he said angrily, "Insult Sven, insult Sven!" ”

Wu Chip's face was almost as green as a green onion, and he didn't even have the strength to scold.

Everyone in the hall has different thoughts, and the people watching the hall are already talking about the Liu family of this water-based poplar and the Wu Chip of this nest, and for a long time in the future, there will be no shortage of topics in the tea shed and wine shop.

He just wanted to clear his suspicion as soon as possible, unlike Wu Chip, and confessed, "The grass people are the treasures that went to the son of the child, and they left a small hour." Adults also know that men and women love each other inevitably with their hands and feet, and the little one accidentally left some red marks on Liu's body. The next day, when I heard that she was dead, I was afraid that I would find out the villain's head, so I applied a potion to cover up those red marks, but the grass people really didn't kill anyone! ”

Mingyue gritted her teeth, this stupid act was in vain! He not only erased the traces of Jiaohuan, but also erased the clues that might have traced the murderer of the Liu family. For the sake of selfishness, ignoring the truth.

Su Yunkai's face was pale, and he continued to listen to the trial, thinking about it in his heart.

"The villain is really not a murderer, but he just doesn't want clues to find out about himself. Yes, I have witnesses, and my wife can prove that I was at home when Liu Peizhen died. Please be gracious. ”

Lord Qin immediately asked people to go to find his wife, and when he asked, he was really at home at that hour, not only the old mother and young children in the family testified, but also the neighbors heard his voice.

Sure that he was not a murderer, Su Yunkai and Mingyue didn't squeak, but they were afraid that they were really not murderers, and they were suddenly disappointed-seeing that the case that could be solved was broken again, where was the real murderer? If you can't find it, your political achievements will be smeared again, which is really unpleasant, "Li Zhizhang, you are a puppet, but you don't think about acting as a puppet, and even cover up the truth and disturb the rules." Someone comes, put him in prison, and wait for him to be released! ”

The result of going to prison is not unknown, but there is still hope in the bottom of my heart, and I was detained by the officials left and right, and subconsciously shouted out my grievances. But it's too late, and you can only regret staying in prison.

Mingyue saw that he was escorted away, but she was not happy.

Grandpa said that as a servant, even if he is defined as a pariah by the court, he can't belittle himself because of this, and he can't really do lowly things because he is labeled a pariah as a pariah . In his position, he seeks his position, does his duty well, and is not afraid of being looked down upon wherever he goes.

Thinking about it, Li Zhizhang is also an experienced servant, and he has solved many cases with Zhixian before, and even his grandfather praised him. Whoever wants to have evil thoughts, adulterous wives, and dereliction of duty.

Thinking about it, he sighed softly. The sigh reached Su Yunkai's ears, and his eyes fell on her face, which was indescribable emotion, and even the clear eyebrows and eyes were darkened.

After the trial, Lord Qin began to interrogate Wu Chip. When I saw his look of revenge, I felt disgusted. Knowing that his wife was indecent, he endured it and kept silent, idling all day long, this kind of person is a scholar in vain. The heart is biased, and the tone is even more unkind, "Wu Chip." ”

Wu Chip came back to his senses, his heart was smooth, and he didn't forget to bow respectfully first, "My lord." ”

"I ask you again, where were you last night?"

"In the room."

"Never been out?"

"No, I didn't."

"You really didn't hear anything?"

Wu Chip paused slightly, and Lord Qin said again, "If you don't tell the truth now, do you want to be regarded as a murderer?" ”

The discussion behind him became louder and louder, and Wu Chip also listened to it all. said that he was a wreck, that he was a waste, that he knew that his wife Hongxing went out of the wall to keep a man, and he didn't care. All kinds of ugly things that hurt their self-esteem were being said, and the more they said them, the less he cared as much as he did at the beginning.

Anyway, as soon as this yamen comes out, these words will spread throughout the entire Nanle County.

Then there is nothing to hide.

He was in a slight trance, looked up at the front, and said, "The grass people heard...... The adults said that Yoo Peizhen died in Yin, but in fact, I have heard movement in the front hall since I was a child. There was a pause in between, but it didn't take long for it to be noisy again. Then the sound stopped, but after a moment, it was noisy again, and then there was no sound again. It wasn't until I was going out in the morning that I saw that Liu Peizhen had died tragically. ”

"Tell me exactly when it stops and when there's movement."

Wu Chip didn't think about it and said, "There is movement in the middle of the hour, and there is no sound when it is not ugly." ”

This hour coincided with the time when he went to Baibaozhen and left, and Lord Qin had no doubt.

"Later, when it was almost ugly, there was a sound again. It was also an hour before the movement stopped. When it was near, there was another sound in the front hall, and the grass people were about to fall asleep at that time, and they were in a daze, and the sound of the rain was beating tiles, so it was really noisy, so I didn't go to see it, and thought that she was so shameless with others. Who wants to be in the morning she died......"

Wu Chip, who had no face to say, said it lightly, which made the people outside the hall sigh. No wonder he refused to say it at first, as soon as he said this, even if he was not guilty, he would not want to raise his head in Nanle County in the future.

Lord Qin asked, "Why do you remember so many corresponding hours?" ”

Wu Chip's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said sharply, "It's hard to remember this kind of thing that hurts a man's dignity, but Liu Peizhen is a woman who is not ashamed, I would like to marry her second marriage, but she is shameless, and she actually hooked up with three or four." Relying on his mother's wealth and power, opening a shop is obviously selling goods, but in fact, he is selling himself, a cheap person! ”

He hissed exhaustedly, as if he had shouted out all the grievances of the past few years. The hall was silent, and even the critics closed their mouths with interest.

Suddenly, someone chuckled in the silence, full of mockery, and Wu Chip, who was angry, stared at the voice, "What are you laughing at!" ”

Su Yun opened back with a cold gaze, and his tone was cold, "In public, you blamed all the faults on your deceased wife, and you repeatedly sweared, do you think you are justified?" When you married Liu Peizhen, you also knew that she was a remarried woman, and her mother's family was powerful. After getting married, you also know that she is having an affair with another man, so you should have said that you are in charge of the shop's business, instead of continuing to let her show her face, but you didn't, you just swallowed your anger and was lazy at home, what face do you have to accuse her? ”

Wu Chip was speechless immediately, he knew where he was wrong, and he was also weak-hearted, but he was poked in front of him, but he felt ashamed, "What does this have to do with you!" Could it be that her water-based poplar is still reasonable. ”

Mingyue saw him bite back, and couldn't wait to give him a slap, "Since you hate her so much, you shouldn't have married her in the first place, and if you marry her, you should fulfill your responsibilities as a husband, but you don't have it at all." She's at fault, so are you, and no one wants to push it clean. Now that she is dead, and the person with whom you used to worship and sleep with you has died, instead of having any mercy, you have insulted your dead wife, and you are not a husband. ”

A few people in the public court had their mouths like guns and their lips like swords, but they were so noisy that Lord Qin forgot to stop them. He almost wanted to applaud the two young men, although he had felt that they were very annoying since the autopsy, but this was said in his heart.

It wasn't until the master reacted first and motioned for him to continue the trial that Master Qin said, "Don't let the idle people in the public court be in an uproar, and if you make any more noise, you will be dragged out and scolded by the twenty boards." ”

Wu Chip's self-esteem was almost close to the ground, his momentum had plummeted, and he didn't have the heart to be proud of being sent to prison again.

Lord Qin said, "Wu Chip, do you know who else is good friends with the Liu clan on weekdays?" ”

Wu Chip smiled coldly, "I have to go...... It's just that the grass people know that there is a person who often comes in the middle of the night. ”

"Who?"

"The man had a liquor shop in the south of the city, and when he was busy, he ate and lived in the liquor store. His wife is as fierce as a tiger, and he has always been afraid, so when he has a tryst with Liu Peizhen, in order to hide people's eyes, it is in the middle of the night. Yesterday was the Lantern Festival, and he must have found an excuse to stay in the wine shop overnight and didn't go back, so it is very likely that he was the one who came in the middle of the night. ”

"What's his name and where does he live?"

Wu Chip thought for a while and said, "Ge Xiang, I live in the eighth household of Yanzi Lane in Gejia Village, and the shop is in the south of the city, called Jiuxian Shop." ”

&&&&&

Bai Shui led the head-hunting officials to the south of the city to arrest people, but the shop was not opened, and the neighbors said that Ge Cheng had returned to the village. And it takes an hour for Swallow Lane to go back and forth from the Yamen, so Mingyue decided to go back to take a bath, have lunch, and then go to the Yamen.

She and Su Yunkai came out together, the sky was still dark, and the dark clouds in the sky had not yet been lifted, and the faces of the people were also gloomy.

Su Yunkai saw her hugging a handful of wicker and couldn't help but say, "Lord Qin, second? ”

Mingyue sneered, hearing that he was joking with Lord Qin, and said loudly, "No, it was Lord Qin who forced it on me, saying that I should dispel my bad luck, otherwise I would not be allowed to stand next to hear the trial." Oh, and half of it is yours. ”

Su Yun smiled, but also helplessly, "This Lord Qin...... An old stubborn too. ”

In fact, it can't be blamed too much for his superstition, he is now fifty years old, and he has been a petty official in a small place for half his life, and now he finally has the opportunity to be promoted, no wonder he is afraid of messing up his official fortunes. If he was really hopelessly stupid, he would have beaten us out a long time ago. ”

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be right, Su Yunkai agrees with most of them. Saying that, Mingyue had already evened half of the things in his arms for him.

It was early spring, and the wicker had just pulled out its young branches, which were as green as jasper. There was still undried juice at the fold, which was stuffed into her arms by her, and the juice stained her clothes, which was even dirtier. He pursed his lips and looked at the smug girl, who was unaware. Those who don't know are not guilty, but he is embarrassed to talk about her.

"By the way, which inn do you stay in, I'll look for you later, and then I'll bring you something delicious."

"Penglai Inn." After Su Yunkai finished answering, his steps were sudden, and his brows were twisted again, "How do you know that I live in an inn?" Can't I just be a local? ”

"Nanle County is such a place, I haven't seen you."

"Then I can't be passing by?"

"But you don't have any baggage."

Su Yunkai wanted to ask, but he saw her smiling, smiling like a spring flower, pretty, and instantly forgot to ask.

"Okay, I'll see you later, I'll go."

After the girl finished speaking, she took the wicker and left. The wicker drooped outward, swaying up and down with her steps, and even her back looked like a willow tree that had just woken up from the spring breeze, brushing over her heart.
