Chapter 121: The Martyr Kills the Vengeance Priest (6) Secretly Seeks the Truth
Shen Xiguang already knew that Fang Liuyi went to the government to intercede for the Deng family, and the government only investigated the guilt of her husband alone, and no longer investigated the crime of the clansmen.
But she felt in her heart that her husband had been wronged, and she wanted to find out the truth, but as a weak woman, it was undoubtedly difficult to go to the sky.
At this time, Meng Ming and Zhang Miaoniang had been hiding in Ni Xiucai's house, and her mother almost fainted when she saw the bloody scene in the courtyard.
Fortunately, the Buddhists wanted to do three transcendent rituals here, so they sent four or five small novices to clean up, and soon the house and the courtyard were cleaned, and the filth and blood stains were removed, and the inside and outside were completely renewed, and the tragic scene on the spot could no longer be seen.
Meng Ming said to Li Yanniang again: "Mrs. Ni, the murderer of your father-in-law is said to have been caught, do you want to know who it is?" But if you say it, you will be quite surprised, and you will be surprised. ”
Li Yanniang hurriedly asked: "Lang Jun, please say, I can stand it, I can't wait to break the murderer's body into thousands of pieces, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." ”
Meng Ming said: "It is said that the murderer is Deng Changhao, the government has already convicted him, due to the bad nature and the rapid impact, he may be beheaded in the next few days." ”
Li Yanniang was shocked on the spot when she heard this, her face changed greatly, and she was speechless for a while
Seeing her hurriedly said: "This is impossible, Brother Deng is decent, very warm-hearted, and willing to give; and my husband are small and classmates, and it is impossible for them to commit such a heinous crime; The government must have made a mistake. ”
Meng Ming also said: "As far as I know, it is basically certain that Deng Changhao was wronged, and your father-in-law once wrote a diary. ”
He took out a crumpled piece of paper and showed it to her, and it was written that Fang Liuyi had coveted Shen Xiguang, and Zhang Miaoniang inquired about Fang Liuyi's relationship with the government, which exonerated the Deng family, but
His condition was to marry Deng Changhao's wife Shen Xiguang as a concubine.
After reading it, she also felt that although the case was confusing, it seemed to have some clues.
Meng Ming felt the big hidden secret at this time, which was basically that Fang Liuyi colluded with bandits to create the tragedy of the Ni family's annihilation, and then let people take the lead and frame Deng Changhao.
But because there was no evidence at the moment, he watched him get away with it, and Deng Changhao could only die unjustly.
Meng Ming asked Zhang Miaoniang to go to Fang Liuyi to keep an eye to see if she could find some clues, and Zhang Miaoniang immediately went incognito.
Fang Liuyi was in a good mood at this time, and the news of Shen Xiguang from the Deng family said that she did not agree, nor did she refuse, and her attitude seemed to have loosened.
At noon on this day, he made an appointment with You Erxi, the owner of Canglang Village, and Jia Shihu, a state official, to go to Jiahe Restaurant to eat and drink.
His whereabouts were in the hands of Zhang Miaoniang, she changed her appearance, swaggered after him, and he entered the Jiahe Restaurant together
I saw this group of people go straight to the VIP room on the second floor, and then wait inside for wine and food.
I saw Jia Shihu congratulate him and said, "Young Master Fang, congratulations, you will soon get what you want and return with a beauty." ”
You Erxi also echoed, only to see him say: "Young Master Fang, the witness brother in my gang, when will you let him out." His wife and children have been crying and making trouble in front of me, and they can't live in peace. ”
Fang Liuyi comforted him and said, "Lord Youzhai, don't worry, tomorrow I will ask the prison director to release people, okay, let's drink." ”
Zhang Miaoniang heard the words inside, and immediately had an idea, she decided to start with that Jia Shihu first.
Fang Liuyi was in a good mood because of his heart, so he was a little greedy, and after a while, he was drunk, You Erxi and Jia Shihu also drank heartily, and finally the three of them staggered back.
Seeing Jia Shihu drunkenly walking on the way home, he staggered and paced duck steps, at this time he suddenly felt urgent to urinate, and immediately found a place to relieve and convenient.
He came to a remote place, there was an ancient locust here, three or four people couldn't hold it, he hummed a little song, and then leaned back against the tree, and peed on the corner of the wall, After sprinkling, he suddenly felt a burst of pleasure permeate his whole body, and his body was so happy that he couldn't help but tremble, he lifted his pants, tied his waist, and was about to turn away.
He suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and then his eyes snapped, and his body suddenly softened like noodles, and he suddenly fell unconscious.
Zhang Miaoniang turned from behind him, looked at him contemptuously, then took out a cloth bag, put him in it, and then picked him up and walked up with agility, looking at her without any difficulty.
Because there are few people on the street at noon, it is a little remote, and it is not far from Ni Xiucai's house, so I go to Ni Xiucai's house from time to time.
Zhang Miaoniang put him into the secret room again, and then discussed with Meng Ming how to interrogate him.
Meng Ming looked at Jia Shihu who was in a coma at this time, his body was slightly fat, his face was obscene, his eyes were closed, his nose was rosacea, and his mouth was full of mustaches.
Meng Ming splashed him up with cold water, only to see that he woke up with a spirit, and then sat up in a hurry.
Then he looked around blankly, and felt that the back of his head hurt badly, and then he subconsciously touched it back with his hand, and when he saw the blood on his hand, he suddenly screamed like a pig.
His shout immediately startled everyone, and even the children were so frightened that they cried, and the scene was noisy and chaotic.
Seeing this, Zhang Miaoniang immediately took out a sword and forced it on his neck, only to see that he suddenly looked like a duck stuck in his neck, forcibly holding back the call, he was so suffocated that he coughed on the spot, and he quickly covered his mouth in fear to prevent himself from making a sound.
He already knew his situation at this time, and he looked at Zhang Miaoniang with begging for mercy, as if he wanted to beg her to raise her noble hand.
At this time, Meng Ming stepped forward and began to interrogate: "What is your surname, do you know why you came to arrest you?" ”
I only heard him tremble and say: "The hero of the good religion knows that his surname is Jia Shihu, who serves in the torture room, and is added to the eight-grade punishment house. Dare to ask the hero what is the so-called thing about recruiting me? ”
Meng Ming didn't talk to him anymore, so he said sternly: "Then let me ask you, since you are in charge of solving the case, recording the affairs of the court, preparing the case, and managing all matters in the prison, can you know the details of the Ni family's murder case and the murderer Deng Changhao?" I think there is a grievance in it, and I would like to ask you to come and inquire about it, and you must answer truthfully, so as not to suffer unnecessary flesh and skin. ”
Meng Ming glanced at his seal letter to him, and at this time, Jia Shihu was suddenly shocked, he was shocked by the illustrious background of the man in front of him, and he also felt that it might be the East Window incident.
I saw that he was sweating like pulp, his face was pale, and he was trembling all over, looking like he was out of ground and had a nervous breakdown.
At this time, he said cautiously: "Please ask the horse, and the lower official will answer truthfully." ”
Meng Ming asked in a deep voice: "Then you first tell me who did the Ni family's murder case, and how did you frame Deng Changhao?" ”
When Jia Shihu heard this, he was suddenly struck by lightning, and his heart was cold, and he secretly said that his favoritism and fraud had been exposed, and he could not escape the blame.
Meng Ming had already seen that his expression was panicked at this time, and his spirit was full of mourning, and he looked like a mourner.
Meng Ming took advantage of the situation and said: "This horse knows that you are humble and light-hearted, and you can only act according to orders, so some things can only be forced to do it, as long as you can make meritorious contributions and confess the mastermind behind the scenes, this horse will intercede for you, only let you be dismissed from office, and you will no longer be held accountable." ”
Jia Shihu was overjoyed when he heard this, and his spirit was also lifted, he was originally drunk by Meng Ming at the beginning, and he had the idea of "dead friends don't die poor way";
At this time, Meng Ming's words gave him hope again, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, so he began to confess non-stop.
It turns out that the truth of the case is as follows:
The beauty of Deng Changhao's wife Shen Xiguang aroused the covetousness of the local tyrant Fang Liuyi. So, he devised a series of poisonous schemes, first let Canglang Village kill Ni Xiucai's family, and created a tragic case of Ni's family;
Then he framed Deng Changhao as the head of the thief, and at the same time he was the mastermind of the murder case; Whistleblowers and covertly bribing state officials. Because of the seriousness of the crime that was fabricated, not only Deng Changhao's own family, but also the entire family were implicated.
At this time, Fang Liuyi appeared in disguise. He took a righteous hand to help the Deng family, ostensibly trying to rescue him, but after checking up and down, he saved the lives of the whole clan at the expense of Deng Changhao.
Deng Changhao will be executed tomorrow, and Shen Xiguang and other family members will be pardoned. Many of the deceived are grateful.
Fang Liuyi did not hide it, and it was not free to help the Deng family, he wanted Naxi Guang to be his concubine.
Meng Ming knew the news that Deng Changhao would be beheaded tomorrow, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, unable to let go for a while; He knew that it was too late to save Deng Changhao, so he could only watch him die unjustly.
He wrote down Jia Shihu's confession at this time, and then asked him to sign it, and finally put it away and handed it over to Zhang Miaoniang for safekeeping.
Meng Ming asked Jia Shihu to be an undercover agent, asked him to lure out Fang Liuyi and You Erxi, and then arrested them one by one, let them all confess, and after collecting evidence, let the truth of the case be revealed.
So far, Fang Liuyi's intentions and conspiracy have been exposed, and the crimes of corruption and favoritism of relevant officials can also be exposed.
Jia Shihu was anxious to get rid of the crime, so he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he agreed without thinking.
Meng Ming let him out, and in order to prevent him from temporarily changing his hexagram, Meng Ming asked Zhang Miaoniang to go to monitor and supervise.
The camera turned to death row again, Deng Changhao has not been tortured in the past few days, it turned out that the presiding judge had taken advantage of his coma to take advantage of his finger to draw on the confession.
The Sizhou government had already convicted him of a capital crime, and in order to cover up evidence of the collusion between the officials and Fang Liuyi, the presiding officer decided to execute him at noon the next day.
That night, the cell boss brought a lunch box containing a roast chicken, an elbow, a pot of wine, a plate of vegetables, and a bowl of rice.
At this time, Deng Changhao was overjoyed when he saw it, he had never eaten a full meal in the days he was in prison.
I saw him say excitedly: "It's better, it's better, it's finally able to eat a full meal." ”
He didn't see the pitying eyes of the cell boss and his fellow inmates, and one of them even said to himself, "There is one more person in the Yama Hall who has died unjustly." ”
