Liu Yingyi sat in front of the hall, compared with the usual elegant robe, wearing a purple official uniform on her body today, adding a bit more solemnity and seriousness than usual.

Liu Yingyi's face is like a crown of jade, her temperament is extraordinary, her obsidian-like eyes scan the people in the hall, and then she slaps the stunned wood hard.

"Smack-"

The outside of the noisy county hall that had been talking to each other just now instantly quieted down, waiting for the county magistrate to interrogate the prisoner he had just caught.

Soon, his subordinates quickly brought Old Man Yan to the hall, and an old man with gray and messy hair and an honest appearance was brought to the hall.

The people of Dongzi County, who often patronize the tofu shop in the suburbs, may remember that it was the owner of the tofu shop, Old Man Yan.

People who know this old man Yan say that the owner of this tofu shop is kind and talkative, and he has never blushed with anyone for so many years, and no one would have thought that such an old man would be the real murderer of several horrific serial murders in the town.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Old man Yan knelt below, but did not speak.

Liu Yingyi grabbed the startling wood and slapped it hard, "Slap-".

The voice raised an octave: "Who's in the hall?" ”

As soon as this shocking wood sounded, the spirits of the people present trembled, and the effect of this shocking wood itself was to deter criminals and seriously try the case.

After this shock, the old man Yan, who was still in a slumber and ignorant of it, raised his head slightly: "Yan Mengjiang." ”

"Is this your real name?"

"Seven years ago, it was called Meng Jiang."

"Hehe, it's really a good name to change." Liu Yingyi smiled lightly, and there was both mockery of Old Man Yan's name change and a little contempt in his words, "Why did you kill Butcher Zhang, Master Qian, Old Bustard, and Cloud Dao Chief?" ”

"I didn't kill anyone!" Old man Yan only showed the cold and sinister side of the murderer at this time, and he has denied it until now.

"Smack-", Liu Yingyi slapped the shocked wood again.

"You don't have to quibble, bring someone to the court."

Qin Zhutou, who was still shaking his majesty towards Shui Qingxiang outside the county office just now, was brought to the court as a witness at this time.

He glanced at Shui Qingxiang with an indifferent expression in the crowd, and there was a faint pain in the place where Shui Qingxiang had just been kicked.

"Back to my lord, the villain Qin Ming was once taken captive at home by Old Man Yan, and I saw Yun Dao Chang talking to him with my own eyes." Qin Ming knelt in the hall and spoke.

"Oh? Why did he kidnap you in the first place? Liu Yingyi asked.

"Probably because I heard the villain say that he was going to the suburbs to arrest the suspect, he was worried about the incident at the east window, so he arrested me first."

"What happened that day?"

Qin Zhutou's thoughts went back to a few days ago, the beginning of that painful experience, if it wasn't for Liu Yingyi's insistence that he go to court as a witness, I'm afraid he wouldn't mention anything to anyone about what happened in the past few days until he died in his life.

"That day, I went to Old Man Yan's tofu shop and ate a bowl of tofu brain, and chatted casually, but I didn't expect that there was a mystery in the tofu brain, and I fell unconscious after eating. When I woke up, I had been locked in the room by Old Man Yan, and that day I heard Old Man Yan talking to Yun Daochang, talking about a crime committed back then, and a recent murder of an old bustard. ”

Qin Zhutou is an old acquaintance of Dongzi County, he grew up in Dongzi County since he was a child, and later inherited his father's business as a catcher, and became a catcher after more than ten years, and the people in the county believed what he said.

"Yan Mengjiang, what else do you have to say?" Liu Yingyi sat in the hall with a majestic face.

Old man Yan was silent for a long time, and then said, "Hmph, there is no basis for what you say. This person was originally an errand boy in the yamen, and the yamen opened his mouth, and he couldn't explain it clearly. ”

Liu Yingyi seemed to be prepared in the face of Old Man Yan's sophistry: "Pass the evidence to the court." ”

"Yes." One of the catchers responded.

Soon, the catcher walked up to the hall with the things wrapped in cotton cloth, opened the cotton cloth, revealing a few pieces of glittering jewelry inside, which looked like it was expensive, expensive and gorgeous, and it was the tribute of the year.

In front of human and physical evidence, Old Man Yan can no longer quibble, not to mention that he has been arrested now, and it is impossible to get out.

Old man Yan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, the old man has lived until now, his wish has been fulfilled, and he can be regarded as dying without regrets." Yes, I killed all of these people because they deserve to die? ”

"Life and death are determined by the mandate of heaven, even if they break the law, they should be handed over to the government to deal with, where it is your turn to kill."

"Official? Hehe, if the government was useful, how could the theft of tribute become a headless public case, and no one can solve it now? Yan Mengjiang said disdainfully.

"Then tell me about the whole story of this case back then?"

"There's nothing to say, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it." Yan Mengjiang is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

"If what you say is true, I will report it to you at my discretion and ask for a lenient sentence. If you don't tell me, no one will know what happened back then, and those who died unjustly will die without turning a blind eye. You know, even if you don't say it, even if I ask the other two witnesses, I will eventually know the truth. ”

Yan Mengjiang's face changed slightly, he knew that Liu Yingyi was talking about Huzi's mother and son, and Yan Mengjiang embarked on this criminal path because they were also because they refused to speak, and tortured the mother and son to force them to speak, then he added another sin.

"You don't have to embarrass the two of them, if you want to know what's going on, I'll tell you. Seven years ago, I was also an official, and I had a good relationship with the Lin family, a gold family in Yulan County, but I didn't expect that it was I who harmed the Lin family and almost wiped out the family. ”

"At that time, several of our poor martial artists who ran errands were bachelors, with no money and no power, and they all relied on martial arts to eat. coincided with the emperor's birthday that year, and all over the country sent birthday gifts as tribute, and I heard that Yulan County also sent a priceless tribute, and it happened that I heard that the tribute came from the Lin family. ”

"After a drunken experience, I inadvertently chatted with two colleagues about the tribute, they were stronger in martial arts than me, relying on the courage of the masters, and put forward the idea of robbing the tribute together, I only thought they were drunk and talking nonsense, I didn't expect to send me and Yunyan to escort the tribute, and Yunyan had already premeditated."

"He persecuted me with his good friend, that is, the old bustard of Yichun Courtyard now, if I didn't participate, let me and my mother be in a different place, and I promised them that Yun Yan would find him and several others, rob the tribute together, and fake the scene of his death."

"I didn't expect that the tribute was a gold vessel, made of seven parts, in order to win His Majesty's favor, the county order of Lan County also asked the head of the Lin family to go together, and merged the seven pieces of gold into a Qianmo glass lock in the capital. Unexpectedly, the head of the Lin family was strong by nature, and he would rather die than tell the secret of the glass lock. ”

"As soon as the head of the Lin family died, the Qianmo glass lock could no longer be put together, and the seven pieces of gold were far less valuable than the Qianmo glass lock. Yun Yan didn't give up, knowing that I had a good relationship with the second child of the Yun family, so he sent me to find the Lin family. It's just that...... It's just that I didn't expect that they would be so mad that they wiped out the Lin family. ”

Yan Mengjiang said this, with an expression of pain and remorse on his face.
