Back to Mingyu Mountain, take a short rest, and talk about it, there is a wife named Ji Qinghe who harasses other people's families in the tenant, and she was caught red-handed and beaten unconscious, and she was seriously injured, her left hand and right leg were fractured, and the corners of her eyes, mouth and nose were swollen and bleeding, and she asked how to deal with it.

Xu You frowned and said, "Do you still need to ask?" He was often whipped ten times in public, and sent to the county government to be handed over to Du San Province for handling according to the law. ”

Lu Shuang hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Ji Qinghe has been shouting that he has been wronged since he woke up, and he has said some strange things, I am afraid that there is another inside story ......"

"Huh?"

Xu You just changed his clothes, cleaned his hands, and was about to pick up the pen to practice calligraphy, the kind of calligraphy he used to pretend to be Lin Tong was not proficient, and occasionally brought out the rhyme of Wang Shu's pen, and he didn't raise his head, and said, "Where are its wings?" Let him handle it. ”

"His Yilang Jun and Fenghu Langjun drank wine in the afternoon, and they will just fall asleep. Xiaolang, you also know, when his Yilang Jun is sleeping, we never dare to disturb him. ”

"Okay!"

He Wei got up very seriously, and no one dared to provoke him. Xu You had no choice but to dispel the idea of practicing calligraphy, and said helplessly: "Qingming, if you are not tired, come with me to see the family that was harassed?" ”

Qingming appeared at the door and said, "No! ”

It was getting late, and Lu Shuang walked in front with the air death wind lantern, and came to the place where the tenants lived, which was located in the mountains, connected with dozens of courtyards, and many rooms, which was the residence of the descendants of the Guo family in the past.

Zhou Peng was kneeling down in a hurry, Xu You stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "How many times have I said it, I don't have to kneel in the house, get up quickly." ”

Zhou Peng was in his early fifties, but his body was extremely tough, he knelt on the ground and refused to get up, his voice was like a bell, full of energy, and said: "Lord Xun, it's all the little old man who is incompetent, let them make such a scandal, I am willing to be punished......"

"As the head of a tenant, but you are not strict in your rule, you will be punished. But now is not the time, tell me more about what happened. ”

"Jiao Qi, Fu's, you come out, how did you come to Qinghe, tell Lord Xun 1510."

Jiao Qi and Fu Shi walked out of the crowd, Jiao Qi looked simple, he was an authentic crop man, knelt on the ground, and said: "Master Lang, it's not the first time that Ji Qinghe has often come to harass us when he is in his hometown." If I hadn't had a stomachache on the way and came back to rest today, he would ...... He's almost on the verge of succeeding......"

Jiao Qi burst into tears, accusing Ji Qinghe of being inferior to pigs and dogs, and many of the tenants who were watching were filled with righteous indignation, begging Xu You to uphold justice and severely punish Ji Qinghe.

Xu You waited for them to finish venting, and said quietly: "Fu, what Jiao Qi said is the truth?" ”

Fu Shi is fair-skinned, delicate and delicate, with the charm of a Jiangnan woman, and she does not dare to raise her head on the ground, nor does she answer Xu You's questions. Jiao Qi was anxious, pushed her shoulder, and said, "Lord Xun asked you, hurry up and reply." Anyway, it's been a mess today, we can't care about the skin, how did Ji Qinghe bully you, you must tell the truth, you know? It is a capital crime to deceive the lord! ”

Fu's body was lowered, his body trembled slightly, and he said after a while: "Yes...... Then, that Ji Qinghe suddenly touched the door and said, saying that there is no one around, and I want to obey him, otherwise I will ...... Just kill me......"

"Kill him!"

"Yes, kill this scoundrel!"

"Everyone has wives and daughters, and keeping such a dog will be a scourge sooner or later."

"Lord Xun, you must severely punish Ji Qinghe!"

Everyone shouted and beaten, and the crowd was gushing, Xu You nodded, and said: "I understand what happened, you go back separately first, and I will give you an explanation tomorrow." ”

When everyone dispersed in turn, Xu You suddenly pointed to the back of a person and said, "Zhou Peng, who is that person?" ”

"His name is Wang Xiang, and he is a fellow villager with Jiao Qi and others!"

"Go, bring him to me quietly."

Zhou Peng didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask, and said, "Okay, I'll go find him later!" ”

The moon climbed into the night sky, decorating Mingyu Mountain with tranquility and elegance, Xu You let the frost extinguish the lantern, walked side by side with Qingming, and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Jiao Qi lied, and Fu seemed to have something unspeakable." Qingming said: "To find out the truth, it all falls on the person named Wang Xiang." Just now, everyone wanted to kill Ji Qinghe, only his face showed unbearable expression, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. Lang Jun's eyes are like a torch, and this case is not difficult to solve. ”

Hearing this, he said, "I was moved by Jiao Qi's tears just now...... But he doesn't look like a scheming ......."

Xu You smiled, didn't answer, and said, "Where is Ji Qinghe?" ”

"Izumi!"

Guo's spring well has been abandoned for a long time, after Xu You got Mingyu Mountain, the spring well and the boat pavilion were handed over to the winter solstice to rebuild, and it should have been restored to some of its former scale in the past few months.

Walking slowly down the bluestone steps into the well, although the horrific torture instruments have been removed, the brown blood stains on the ground and in the cracks in the stones indicate the horrors that once took place here. Ji Qinghe was lying on the cold stone bed, with the bronze buckle used to tie the iron chain kept on his hands and feet, Li Mu took four people to guard him, and when he saw Xu You coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"You are Ji Qinghe?"

"Yes...... Yes, the villain greets the lord, I ...... I was wronged...... Please be enlightened! ”

"Oh, you've read?"

Xu You listened to his conversation, he should have been a person who had read books, and said strangely: "I remember sending someone to inquire before, all those who are literate and literate have been called elsewhere, why are you still working as a tenant farming?" ”

The screening that Frost was responsible for, her pretty face was slightly red, and she said: "This person has concealed that he has read books, and it is a servant who is not good at doing things!" ”

Xu You waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault, if he really pretends to be illiterate, no one can detect it." The reason why I deliberately revealed my identity this time was to attract my attention, so that I wouldn't even listen to his explanation and casually take his life! ”

Ji Qinghe actually laughed and said, "I know that Lord Xun is the top figure in the world, and it is impossible to be deceived by them. Since he came to see me in person, he must have asked Jiao Qihe ...... and Fushi, sensing that the villain has grievances, cough ...... Ahem......"

The sound of violent coughing echoed in the stone room, Ji Qinghe could barely breathe, Qingming stepped forward and gently brushed his palm over the back of his heart, puffed out the accumulated blood, and his chest suddenly became unobstructed.

Xu You said lightly: "Oh, you think you can see through me? ”

Ji Qinghe's smile gradually disappeared, and he struggled to get up, rolled over and rolled off the stone bed, prostrate on the ground, and said, "The villain doesn't dare!" The villain just hated Jiao Qi, forced Fu Jing to set up a situation to harm me, and asked Lang Jun to uphold justice. ”

"You say, I'll listen, who is right and who is wrong, I have my own opinion!"

Ji Qinghe was originally a native of Huiji County, his father taught private school in the village, and he was literate since he was a child. Fu's name is Fu Jing, his father and Ji's father were originally close friends, and the two families made an appointment with their in-laws, and later the rich father also died early, and the rich mother annulled the previous contract and married the rich family to Jiao Qi. It's just that Jiao Qi has many brothers, and her orphans and widows are also good in the village, and Jiao Qi works hard and can't go hungry with him. Unlike Ji Qinghe, he is useless as a scholar, his body is weak, he can't even plant land, and he will starve to death sooner or later.

Helplessly, Ji Qinghe and Fu Jing already have feelings, although they can't marry Jiao Qi against their mother's orders, they still have contacts in private. Ji Qinghe said: "I swear to the sky, there is nothing to do with Fu Jing, clean and innocent." I like her, I am willing to go to the soup for her, as long as I stay by her side, I am satisfied, how can I let her be innocent and spurned? ”

Xu You said: "Since you are innocent, why was Jiao Qi blocked in the room today?" ”

"This is Jiao Qi's trick!"

Ji Qinghe coughed a few more times and said: "I only see Fu Jing once a month, confiding in each other about the pain of lovesickness, I have already met at the beginning of this month, but today I suddenly asked Jiao Qi to come to see her when she left, saying that there is something important to discuss." I came as promised, Fu Jing...... She, she undressed, her hair was messy, she was lying on the bed, her eyes were tearful, and she said sorry for me......"

"Then Jiao Qi broke into the door and just caught you?"

"Exactly!"

Xu You pondered for a moment and said, "Li Mu, find a doctor to take a look at the injury for him, don't leave the disabled behind." Then let the cook make some hot soup and send it over, so that I can take care of it. ”

Ji Qinghe showed a look of ecstasy and said, "Lord Xun believes my words? ”

Xu You got up and walked out, "I only believe in the truth!" ”

When he saw Wang Xiang in the room, he shrank back and was quite frightened. Xu You didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Jiao Qi is good friends with you?" ”

Wang Xiang shuddered and said, "Yes, the villain and Jiao Qiyuan are neighbors and often drink together." ”

"Oh, you must have heard a lot of drunken talk, have you ever heard him say that Ji Qinghe and the Fu family had an affair?"

"Huh? Private...... Adultery? Wang Xiang has no city government, and his acting skills are even worse, and he was in a big mess by Xu You's sudden question, and strongly defended: "Didn't you say that Ji Qinghe broke into the room and forcibly bullied the Fu family, the two of them, how did the two of them have an affair?" ”

Xu You smiled and said, "Wang Xiang, how do you feel when you come to Mingyu Mountain?" ”

Wang Xiang said gratefully: "The villain is in Qiantang, there is no place to eat and live, almost frozen to death and starved to death, all relying on the kindness of the lord of the city, allowing us to be tenants, this kindness, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay." ”

"You don't have to be a cow or a horse, I just want you to tell the truth." Xu You's eyes were like knives, sharp and piercing, and he said: "What Jiao Qi did, he will bear the consequences, you don't need to put yourself in it." Believe me, there is no truth in the world that cannot be revealed! ”

Wang Xiang's forehead oozed with sweat the size of beans, his hands and feet trembled violently, and he hit the ground on his knees, and said, "I said, I said...... Jiao Qi was drunk a few days ago and said that he was going to kill Ji Qinghe. I asked him why he killed people, and he said that Ji Qinghe had an affair with the Fu family for more than a year, and he couldn't bear it...... I know this, Lord Xun spares his life, Lord Xun spares his life! ”

Sending Wang Xiang away, the whole thing is basically clear, but I don't know why Fu Jing is willing to cooperate with Jiao Qi to frame Ji Qinghe. Xu You stroked his forehead with his hand, removed the fatigue of the whole day, and said: "Frost, bring Fujing!" ”

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, Xu You said: "It is a good thing that you and Ji Qinghe are in love, but since you are destined to marry another woman in this life, you must abide by your duty as a wife." If you really don't like Jiao Qi, you can find the father of the third division to testify, and you can leave peacefully, why do you want to steal people behind your husband's back and cause today's trouble? ”

Fu Jing fell to the ground and didn't make a sound.

"Ji Qinghe loves you to the extreme, and he doesn't even want his life. But what you have done today has broken his heart, do you know what he told me just now, that you must eat your flesh raw and drink your blood to relieve the hatred in your heart. ”

Ji Qinghe is an infatuated lover and was betrayed by Fu Jing, but he didn't blame her at all, Xu You said this to make her feel guilty. Sure enough, Fu Jing finally collapsed, howled, and said, "Jiao Qi took the child in her womb and threatened me, saying that if I didn't listen to him, I would take the child's life...... Lord Hao, I'm not human, I deceived Qinghe and hurt him......"

Xu You sighed slightly, and had to ask, "Who is this kid?" ”

Fu Jing said: "It's Jiao Qi's...... Qinghe and I are affectionate and polite, and there is no way to exceed the norm. ”

With the confessions of Wang Xiang and Fu Jing, it will be much easier to interrogate Jiao Qi again. He was still hard-mouthed at first, and he didn't have to be tortured when he was escorted to the spring well, but he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and confessed to beating Fu Jing and forcing her to frame Ji Qinghe with the child.

"Did you know that the unborn child was yours?"

Jiao Qi was stunned at first, and then said hatefully: "Impossible, that slut and Ji Qinghe often meet, it must be a wild seed for the two of them......"

Xu You shook his head and said, "It's your child!" ”

Jiao Qi naturally won't believe this kind of thing, otherwise, the tiger poison will not eat children, and he may not be willing to use children to coerce Fu Jing. Although the truth is ascertained, how to deal with it is very tricky. Although Jiao Qi is guilty, it is not an unforgivable crime, after all, it is true that Fu Jing and Ji Qinghe are dating in private, and any man will go crazy when he encounters such a thing; Ji Qinghe seemed to be wronged and was injured, but he couldn't escape the punishment. As a man, he didn't have the courage and ability to marry her before Fu Jing got married, but after getting married, he broke the thread, and to put it seriously, he could be called seducing a married woman, and he would be punished heavily according to the law.

As for Fu Jing, if she lives and dies with Ji Qinghe, even if she rebels against her mother's life, she will refuse to marry Jiao Qi, how can she marry someone and then spend time with her lover before and after, Qingqing and me? Under the melon field and plum, who can believe the innocence of the mouth? So much so that Jiao Qi was angry and resentful, complaining about murderous intentions, in order to protect her belly, she was persecuted to set up a situation to harm Ji Qinghe, which was even more wrong.

The three of them are all guilty, but they also have pitiful places, especially Fu Jing is still pregnant, Xu You is difficult to decide, just when He Wei woke up, pushed the door in, and said with a smile: "I heard that Qilang solved a strange case?" ”

Xu You sneered and said, "What kind of strange case is this?" It's just three poor people trapped by love, by the way, what do you think should be done? ”

"Simple, Fu is pregnant, and he ordered him to return to the same meeting with Jiao Qi, raise the fetus with peace of mind, and no longer have any dealings with Ji Qinghe in the future. Jiao Qi designed to harm people, whipped twenty, and ordered the good student to take care of the Fu family, and not to repeat the trouble, otherwise he would be handed over to the Guild Inspector's Office and severely punished. He is a villain, and he will not dare to treat Fu lightly when he is intimidated by this. ”

"What about Ji Qinghe?"

"Although Ji Qinghe has also been injured, he is seriously injured, so he can resist the punishment and stay in Mingyushan for the time being."

"This ......" Xu You hesitated: "The Fu family has completely lost face, Ming Yushan can't stay, and it's good to go back to Huiji." She is pregnant with Jiao Qi's child, and it is reasonable for Jiao Qi to take care of her. It's just Ji Qinghe...... Not to be evicted? ”

He Wei smiled and said: "Ji Qinghe is very interesting. I went to see him just now, this person has a loss, but it's also infatuation, Shichiro give him a chance. ”

Seeing that He Wei insisted, Xu You didn't say anything more, and said, "Then do as you say!" ”
