Chapter 216: The Female Dead
After reading everything carefully, Lord Bai asked Qing'er a few more questions, and directly interrogated Qiao Dechun.
Qiao Dechun was much more well-behaved in front of Lord Bai, but he repeatedly emphasized that he would make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, and as long as he could be exempted from the death penalty, he would fully cooperate.
Such a request was not excessive, Lord Bai naturally agreed, and then there were various interrogations and interrogations.
Qing'er couldn't get enough of this wonderful arraignment after listening to it, it turned out that the trial prisoner could also be so exciting!
Although there is still so much she can't grasp, it has been an eye-opener.
After that, it was overtime, overtime, and overtime, and then it became that all the personnel of Dali Temple ate, worked, and slept in Dali Temple, almost continuously!
It wasn't until Qing'er suddenly realized that the appointment between him and Zhang Wenyuan had arrived, and he suddenly found out that it was too late!
It's been half an hour now!
Qing'er was so anxious that she turned faced, dropped what she was doing and hurriedly ran to Li Wanjian to ask for leave, borrowed another horse and galloped out of the city.
She can only hope that Zhang Wenyuan is a patient person, but in fact, she is not even sure whether Zhang Wenyuan will go to the appointment.
When Qing'er arrived, she found that there was a large group of people around this dilapidated nunnery, and the inner and outer three floors were full of people, and she couldn't help but secretly call unlucky.
She chose this place to be quiet, but she didn't expect this to catch up with the temple fair? Pilgrimage? Rituals?
Qing'er tied her horse and joined the crowd, and after listening to it a few times, she realized that it was a dead person.
I can't help but lose my temper secretly, and the person who was so easy to make an appointment, the nun has to hang herself here to join in the fun.
That's good! It's a female corpse again, and watching the lively crowd, Zhang Wenyuan must have been scared away even if he came.
But she still refused to give up. It's easy to ask for leave and rush over, and I always have to look for it before I am willing.
Qing'er had never seen Zhang Wenyuan before, so she had to go around twice in a crowded place. But among so many people, there is no man who is pleasing to the eye.
It's no wonder that most of the people who are watching the excitement here now are the surrounding neighbors, Qing'er secretly thinks that even if Zhang Wenyuan is not as beautiful as the rumors, at least the clothes are much brighter than these people.
She confirmed it again and again, and sure enough, there was really no clerk Zhang.
If you leave, it's understandable, if you don't come at all, it's too chilling. This is the second invitation!
Qing'er thought of Yun Niang's infatuation with him, and couldn't help but be ruthless in her heart, even if she dug three feet into the ground, she had to dig this Zhang Wenyuan out of Taiwei's Mansion!
Thinking of this, I can't help but complain secretly. It is said that she is still afraid of the majesty of the Taiwei Mansion.
It's just that after all, Taiwei Li is a powerful minister below and above tens of thousands of people. If she really has to deal with this person, I'm afraid that Lianxi will also suffer.
Qing'er unconsciously walked to a place with few people. She blamed herself for being cowardly for a moment. I was afraid of the Taiwei Mansion, and for a while I hated Zhang Wenyuan for living a lifeless life, and he actually lived in his wife's house, looking up to people.
After sulking for a long time, she felt that it was useless, she was about to leave, and suddenly overheard a few small officials around the corner chatting about the female corpse case.
It turned out that it was not a nun who died in the nunnery, but two young girls, one master and one servant. Age is about twenty years old.
Listening to the arguments of these little officials, it seems that it is not a robbery, and the entanglement on the two women's bodies has no traces of turning over at all; It doesn't seem to be a female killing. The two women were dressed intact and did not look like they had been invaded; If it is said to be a love killing, it seems to be ......
Qing'er didn't pay attention to their arguments, she was full of resentment, one would complain that she had forgotten the time, and the other would scold Zhang Wenyuan for being an unrighteous villain......
She stood in place and thought for a while, thinking that since she had already taken a good leave, it was better to simply go home and sleep steadily, and the most important thing was to take a hot bath, her body smelled these days!
As she thought about it, she walked out, as if she had been struck by lightning suddenly, and looked ahead with stunned eyes, and then slowly looked at the little officials.
Could it be......
Qing'er patted her face vigorously with her hand, hoping that the muscles on her face could relax, until her face was hot, she barely squeezed out a smile, and walked to the few officials to inquire about the case.
These officials heard that she was the temple of Dali Temple, and they were naturally very stammered, and several people talked about the situation of the female corpse in detail.
When a servant said that when he was rising, he simply took Qing'er to see the corpse together.
With the cover on the corpse. The white cloth on her body was lifted with a "bang", and Qing'er felt that her head was "buzzing", and she was no longer conscious.
I don't know how long it took for her to wake up, and saw her lying on a clean blue-striped stone step, and the figure stood beside her.
Seeing that she was awake, she hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's all strange for the little recklessness, it frightens the adults!" ”
Qing'er's face was pale, and she smiled reluctantly and said: "I'm a newly recruited Sizhi, I've never seen this battle, I thought I would just observe it, but I didn't want to lose such a big person, it's really ......"
The man grinned: "My lord said that we are all in this kind of dirty deed, and my lord doesn't need to look at this." ”
Qing'er was in a sullen mood, as if a few big stones were stuffed in her chest, and she didn't have the heart to chat with him at all, so she sat down for a while, and thanked her for beating the horse and went home.
When she entered the house, she felt that her feet were similar to those stepping on cotton, and she entered the house with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and planted herself headlong into the pit.
I don't know how long later, she felt itchy on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xi smiling and looking at her, Qing'er hugged Xi fiercely, threw herself into his arms and cried.
Qing'er's actions frightened Xi's face white, he asked a few words, Qing'er didn't reply, just kept crying. Nishi had to hug her tightly and rub her back.
After a long while, Qing'er cried until her voice was a little hoarse before she stopped, put her face on Xi's chest and said sullenly:
"I've killed someone!"
Xi Wenyan trembled, held Qing'er's face with both hands, stared straight into her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" Tell me! ”
Qing'er snorted a few times and cried: "I made an appointment with Zhang Wenyuan to meet at the nunnery outside the city, but I was busy trying the case and missed the time. By the time I arrived, there was already a crowd of people watching the excitement, and two young women from the countryside had died......"
Xi's face softened slightly, and he hugged Qing'er and said softly: "This has nothing to do with you, don't think about it." ”
Qing'er struggled out of his arms and shouted, "Why is it okay? If I hadn't asked Zhang Wen to come over, their master and servant wouldn't have been killed as Yun Niang! I saw it with my own eyes...... The age, height, and body shape are all about the same, it must have been Zhang Wenyuan who hired a killer to do it! ”
Xi hugged Qing'er tightly in his arms, so tight that Qing'er almost couldn't breathe, and after a while, he said excitedly:
"Do you know what I thought after hearing what you just said? I was so scared that my heart was almost beating! Have you ever thought that if you arrive on time, maybe even you won't be able to escape? In addition to Yun Niang, what Zhang Wenyuan wanted to kill was another insider who asked him to go!
