"This deceased is too, she just wants to return to her mother's house earlier, as for what money is not enough, she doesn't care anymore, the silver taken by Hu San's wife is actually all the entanglement of this family.

She was very ashamed of what she said.

"If your husband does not take the body of the dead. The magistrate will not regard Hu San as a murderer at all, so you have a big reason for it. ”

"Far away, Song continued to say the deceased, actually, she didn't want to live in the first place, but she didn't expect that she would die halfway through."

Qin Shui was stunned for a moment, "Song Tixing, how can you say this?" Could it be that this deceased is.... Is it suicide?"

Song Qing nodded and said, "Qin Zhixian, don't worry, you can listen to Song Mou give you an analysis and analysis now, and say it."

"In the past few days, Song asked his subordinates to go around the deceased's house, walked around and looked, and then got a clue, that is, the deceased and Zhu Laosan have often quarreled recently, right?"

Zhu Laosan said: "My lord, what you said is really right, this is indeed the case, but my lord, the little one is not a murderer, and I am very helpless when my wife dies." Song Qing glared at him, "I didn't say that you were a murderer, but I wanted to ask you, why did you quarrel with each other?" And on the first day of the crime, that is, on the 10th of August, you almost used the knife, didn't you?"

Zhu Laosan sighed, he regretted it very much now, he knew that it would be such an ending, he didn't quarrel at that time, but the world is unpredictable, who can say this kind of thing?

"My lord, in fact, our husband and wife quarrel not for a day or two, but often quarrel, the reason is nothing more than that my wife thinks I am too lazy, and I don't want to do farm work, almost every day I hold the wine and drink a lot, since the accident, I am almost half drunk every day."

"But my lord, I didn't know that it would be like this, if I knew that my wife would be killed, then I wouldn't be like this, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world."

Song Qing looked at him regretfully, it was too late to say this now, and there was no more chance, so he knew why he had to do it in the first place.

"Zhu Laosan, Song asked you, then do you know why your wife died? To put it bluntly, the main reason is you, do you know?"

The latter obviously hasn't reacted yet, what is because of himself? What's going on?

The rest of the people are also very interested, what is the inside story of this?

Under his many noses, Song Qing continued: "Song has a bold inference here, in fact, your wife has already drunk pesticides before she goes on the road, and at the same time, she has already had a dosage, ensuring that she can die soon after returning to her parents' home."

"But maybe you have to ask me again, this one didn't have an autopsy, why did you say that you were taking poison? In fact, the words have to start with this disabled bachelor, because Song has heard from him that the deceased's neck is already black.

"Qin Zhixian, you also went to the scene of the crime at that time, are you willing to testify to Song about this matter?"

Qin Shui said: "What Song Tixing said is not bad at all, the matter is indeed like this, I felt strange at that time, this means that who is so angry?"

Song Qingdao: "This is the problem, if a certain part of the neck appears black, it is left by the strong restraint of the palm, but all of it is black, and there can only be one explanation."

"That is, the deceased has been completely disappointed in her husband Zhu Laosan, she doesn't want to live anymore, so she drank the poison, as for what poison it is, then Song doesn't know."

The lieutenant general had a question, "Then my lord, why is this deceased unwilling to go to his mother's house to take poison?" That way, you don't have to die in the pond. ”

"Deputy General Chao, it's easy to explain this, that is, the deceased is desperate, she is worried that she can't bear to take poison after returning to her parents' home, so she takes it in advance, after all, there are still old people alive, and it's normal to be reluctant."

"Lord Zhixian, you won't have an opinion on Song's inference."

The latter nodded hurriedly, "What Song Tixing said, I have been listening to it." ”

Song Qing continued, "When the deceased took poison, he took ten taels of silver on the road, and after he arrived at his mother's house, it was considered her own funeral expenses, and she also brought clothes, which is understandable, it is normal for people to wear a clean dress when they die."

So, after she left home, she went to a teahouse not far from the village, where food was supplied, and she feared that she would not have time, so she approached the groom and asked him to take her to the city.

"Mafu, you can testify on behalf of Song."

"Yes, my lord, I saw that this person's face was not very good-looking, and I thought that I hadn't woken up, and then I didn't think much about it, so I was ready to go.

Song Qing retracted his gaze and continued: "The two of them walked and chatted along the way, and when the carriage was halfway through, the woman knew that she didn't seem to be able to hold out for long, so she took the initiative to tell the groom her identity, and then, after you arrived at the scene of the crime, the groom told you the identity of the deceased."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you haven't found Zhu Laosan in such a short time." Qin Shui's eyes rolled straight, "Song Tixing, since this deceased is about to relapse in the carriage, why doesn't she rush back, or go directly to the pharmacy?"

Song Qingdao: "It's simple, as long as a person wants to die, she won't think about this, besides, what she takes may be highly poisonous, even if she finds the immortals, it's useless." The carriage drove straight forward, and at this moment it reached the side of the path, and at this moment the woman asked the groom to take the path in order to hurry, but before she could finish speaking, there was no breath of life at this moment, and she died of poison.

But the groom seemed to be unable to sit still, the person was alive and died in his own car, he knew that it was difficult to escape his responsibility, and you know that the county lord was not easy to speak, so he gritted his teeth and simply threw the body into Hu San's pond, as an illusion of drowning, but he would never have thought that it was such a move that made Hu San die and die unjustly. The groom immediately cried bitterly, "Adult, there is no way to do it, you said that someone died in my car, what do you want me to do?" If it is known, then there is still life?"

Qin Shui didn't say a word, and there were many shocks in his heart.

"Song Tixing, I want to know, why didn't this groom just throw the body to the side of the official road, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"

Song Qing took a sip of tea, "Mafu, why don't you tell the magistrate yourself, why do you want to go far?"

The horseman said: "My lord, this is an official road, and many people pass by, if they are seen, it will be over, and at the same time, after throwing it into the pond, it may be thought that it is suicide."

Song Qing sneered, "Suicide? But you have overlooked one point, horseman, that is, the water in this pond is not deep, and there is no drowning at all. ”

"The sound you three stole at the time may be the sound of the corpse being thrown into the water by the groom, and it is not some other fish thief.

The three of them were stunned, and Song Qing continued: "Soon after, the deceased in this case came, and he found the body, so he went down to the pond to salvage it."

"But, this person is also greedy, he recently lost ten taels of silver in gambling, and he owes dozens of taels of loan sharks, the shopkeeper, are you willing to testify to Song on this matter?"

He nodded frantically, he heard the most wonderful case today, and this trip was not in vain.

Qin Shuizhi said: "Song Tixing, do you mean that this Hu San took all the silver from the corpse?" But he didn't kill people?"

Song Qingdao: "Lord Zhixian, this is really the case, Hu San's daughter-in-law can testify to this, and at the same time, this silver was also hidden in the house by her."

Qin Shui shouted, "Bold, although you and your wife did not kill anyone, but committed the crime of theft, your husband will be counted today, but you really can't escape the responsibility."

"Come on, hit this Hu San's wife with thirty boards.

Song Qing didn't stop it, this person should also be beaten, "Qin Zhixian, Song thinks that among these people, everyone should be beaten, or the shopkeeper of this gambling hall will be beaten by three hundred, the groom will be beaten by two hundred, Zhu Lao will be beaten by one hundred, and a few fish thieves will be beaten by fifty." ”

They were shocked, especially the shopkeeper, who didn't kill him with three hundred boards.

Everyone kept shouting grievances, and Song Qing said: "Qin Zhixian, you must feel very strange, this Hu San didn't kill anyone, why did he quickly admit that he killed someone after he arrived at the Yamen, but under your interrogation?"

Qin Shui also didn't understand this, it stands to reason that as long as a normal person didn't kill anyone, how could he be so easy?

"Song Tixing, since this is the case, then you can't tell the lowly position, what is going on in this case?"

Song Qing said with a smile: "It's simple, it's this Hu San who owes eighty taels of gambling debts outside, and he knows that he can't afford to pay it back in this life, so he simply carries a murderous life, so that he can get a hundred."

Qin Shui already understood, but when he thought that he had made a big mistake and caused an unjust case, his body was sitting on the ground at this moment.

His face was bloodless, and his eyes were stunned: "Song reminds that the unjust case of being tried by a lowly position has caused innocent people to die unjustly, Song is sentenced, you can punish the lowly position."

Song Qing said with a smile: "Qin Zhixian get up, you are the best county that Song has ever seen, you are not to blame for this case at all, and if Hu San does not admit to killing people, you will not kill him." "Although this case is unjust, you are not to blame for the fault, rather than this, it is better to blame these people who were beaten.

Qin Shui breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Hu San's wife, although your husband said that he confessed to a trumped-up crime, but the person is dead after all, and today this official compensates you for fifty taels of silver on behalf of the Yamenmen."

"Thank you, sir." She was grateful, "But my lord, about the usury that Hu San owes to this shopkeeper...

"You don't have to pay it back." Qin Shuidao: Usury is illegal, and at the same time, this is gambling money, which is not protected by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.
