The middle-aged woman heard footsteps behind her, and when she turned her head to look, she screamed in fright and fell to the ground with a limp.

The young man cried out viciously, "You damned wicked woman, give me death!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and stabbed the knife at the middle-aged woman.

"Stop!"

At this moment, an angry roar came from the side. Then, from the rooftops, walls, and doorways beside the alley, several men in civilian clothes rushed out, one in front of the middle-aged woman, and the rest rushed towards the young man.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and by the time he reacted, he had already been put on the neck with a knife by a large man. A large man snatched his knife from the young man's hand and kicked him in the knee, knocking him to the ground, and the crowd tied him up.

A big man at the head said: "Go and report to Lord Qincha, and say that you have got the murderer." ”

"Yes, sir." A big man galloped away in response.

Soon after, Wuwei County Ya.

Zhang Nian was working in the public court, and Wang Kuai, the head of the fast catching team below the hall, said with a sad face: "My lord, the witness provided by the businessman Gao Yun has returned from Yuxian, and he can prove that Gao Yun was not at the scene of the murder at that time. ”

Zhang Nian said unhappily: "Look at what you have done. Let someone go to his house and inform him, and tell him that his suspicion has been cleared and he is free to leave the county. ”

Wang Kuai was afraid of being punished by the county magistrate, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, the villain will go and inform him personally, and by the way, I will go to investigate the scene of the crime again to see if there are any missing clues." ”

Zhang Nian saw through his thoughts, but knew that he had done his best, so he waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, you go!" ”

The king was relieved and hurried out.

At this moment, someone outside shouted, "Lord Chincha has arrived!" ”

Zhang Nian and the others hurriedly walked out to greet them, and as soon as they walked to the door, Di Renjie and the others had already come in.

After everyone saluted each other and the adults took their seats, Wang Kuai saluted Di Renjie and the others and said, "Lord Qincha, Lord County Commander, you talk slowly, and the villain will retire first." ”

Zhang Nian waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to hurry up and leave, don't be an eyesore here.

The king hurried out.

Di Renjie asked, "Wait a minute, Wang Bantou, why are you going?" ”

Wang Kuai arched his hand and said: "If you go back to the words of the lord, the villain will go to find clues to the serial murder case." ”

Zhang Cambodia said with a smile: "Wang Bantou, you don't have to go." The case has been solved, and the murderer has been caught. ”

"What?" Everyone was amazed.

Zhang Nian stood up in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Lord Qincha, did you say that you caught that murderer?" Who caught it? What's going on? ”

Zhang Cambodia said with a smile: "Please sit down, the county commander, let's drink tea first, wait for a while, and wait for someone to get there." ”

Soon after, several big men escorted a young man in, followed by a middle-aged woman.

Several big men pressed the young man to the ground and knelt down, led by a big man with an accent from the Liangzhou region, and said: "My lord, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission and arrested the murderer on the spot." This was the murder weapon used by the perpetrators. ”

As he spoke, he raised a sharp knife more than half a foot long with both hands.

Zhang Nian and the others had never seen these big men before, but they were all mighty and fierce, and they were very similar to the temperament of the four soldiers around Di Renjie and the others. They understood that it turned out that Di Renjie and the others had not only brought the four escorts, but also secretly hid people.

Zhang Nian and the others guessed correctly, among the ten people brought by Di Renjie and the others, the six people who secretly followed were soldiers from Liangzhou City specially selected by Li You for them, and they were familiar with the local situation and were convenient for Di Renjie and the others to secretly help.

Di Renjie said: "Hard work, Li Teamzheng, you hand over the criminal and physical evidence to Wang Bantou and them." Let's talk about the scene. ”

"Yes, Chincha-sama." The leader of the big man is named Li Guanglu, and he is a detachment leader of the Flying Tiger Army.

Li Guanglu said: "My lord, according to your orders, the lowly job secretly followed the lady of the Wang family, wandering around the market every afternoon, and there was no movement for several days, not long ago, the lowly class found out that this guy was following the lady of the Wang family, so he secretly signaled the lady of the Wang family to go to the quiet place next to the Ning'an Temple, and created an opportunity for this guy to do it."

The lowly and others rushed to the alley in advance to ambush him, and captured this guy on the spot when he committed the murder. ”

Zhang Nian and the others were very surprised, and they didn't know how Di Renjie and the others knew that this person would assassinate this middle-aged woman.

At this time, Di Renjie said: "Lord Zhang, this case is up to you." ”

This case happened in Wuwei County, and it was supposed to be tried by Zhang Nian, but he really didn't have the face to try this case, and he didn't make any progress for three years. That's too big a gap, isn't it?

He said embarrassedly: "Lord Qincha, this case is still up to you, let the lower officials take a good look at it." ”

Di Renjie no longer shirked and sat in the position of the county magistrate. He stretched out his hand and picked up the shocking wood and slapped it on the case, shouting: "The people under the hall, raise your head." ”

As the young man struggled, his hair was scattered and covered his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while. Wang Bantou reached out and combed his hair, revealing his face.

Zhang Nian saw that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Wang Bantou recognized this person, and he said in surprise: "Isn't this Mr. Zhao?" ”

Zhang Nian remembered, this person's name is Zhao Han, is a famous talent in Wuwei, once participated in the Zhenguan 12-year imperial examination, although he did not take the Gongsheng examination, he also has a certain reputation in the local area, he is now teaching in a private school, and writing legal documents and letters for a living.

At this moment, Zhao Han had calmed down, and he calmly answered Di Renjie's question. He admitted to attempting to assassinate the Wang family's wife, but denied any other previous cases.

He was familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty and knew that the crime he was committing now was nothing more than an attempted murder and that it had not caused real harm to the victim. He was not guilty of death and was sentenced to exile at most.

Di Renjie watched him deny that he was the murderer of the serial murder case, and he was not in a hurry. He asked, "Why did you assassinate the lady of the Wang family?" ”

Zhao Han said: "The grass people recognized the wrong person for a while. ”

Li Guanglu said: "You are talking nonsense. ”

He said to Di Renjie: "My lord, at that time, this person was going to assassinate the lady of the Wang family from behind, and the lady of the Wang family fell to the ground in fright after discovering him. He can be sure that this person has seen the face of the Wang family lady clearly, but he still continues to assassinate the Wang family's lady. ”

"Yes, adults and villains can testify. At that time, the villain heard him cry out, 'Die, you wicked woman!' The other soldiers added.

Di Renjie asked: "The people in the hall, what kind of enmity does the lady of the Wang family have with you, why do you want to put her to death?" ”

Zhao Han said: "My lord, the grass people admit that they want to kill this evil woman because the grass people had a nightmare not long ago, and there was a female ghost who wanted to ask the grass people for their lives. Later, an immortal instructed the grass people to get rid of this female ghost after seeing it, otherwise, the grass people would be haunted by nightmares and never be able to get rid of it.

The villain has indeed been unable to sleep well these days, and this taste is simply painful for the grass people.

Today, the villain saw this lady, and saw that her appearance was similar to the evil ghost in his dream, and he was confused for a while, and almost made a big mistake. The grass people are at fault and are willing to make amends to this lady of the Wang family. As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the lady of the Wang family.

Zhao Han didn't know this lady of the Wang family, and for a while, he asked him to make up what hatred he had with the lady of the Wang family, and he couldn't make it up at all. So he made up the lie that he had a grudge with the lady of the Wang family in his dream.

He is now very sober-minded, anyway, it is only an attempted murder, and the government can only convict him on this.

Zhang Nian and Wang Bantou were very angry when they saw Zhao Han sophistry, and at this time they had already determined that this person was the murderer of the serial murder case. But how can this person be exposed? They couldn't think of any good way to do it.

Di Renjie said: "The people in the hall are guilty, in fact, you are not admitting the wrong person. You should be familiar with her. Or maybe you're familiar with something about her, and you're often able to dream of something in your dreams. These things have been torturing you, forcing you to come and assassinate the lady of the Wang family. ”

Zhao Han trembled slightly, it seemed that Di Renjie's words touched him. However, he quickly calmed down. said, "My lord, the grass people don't understand your words. The grass people really didn't know the lady of the Wang family, but they were confused for a while, and they almost did something wrong. ”

Di Renjie said: "You don't admit that you know the lady of the Wang family, and you don't admit that you have a grudge against her, it doesn't matter." Let me tell you a story first. ”

Di Renjie said: "Once upon a time, I had a child who loved him and had parents who loved him, and he lived a very happy life. But later, his mother died unexpectedly, and his father married a stepmother for him.

Marrying a stepmother who didn't like this child, and humiliated him in every way, so that the child's life fell into misery. That ......"

Di Renjie told the story slowly, and he painted a miserable picture with emotion: a woman who looked somewhat similar to the lady of the Wang family viciously beat and scolded a boy. The boy often washed his face with tears, and his eyes were full of hatred. He swore that when he grew up, he would kill this wicked woman.

As Di Renjie's story deepened, everyone found that Zhao Han's body was trembling more and more, and his panting breath began to grow rapidly.

Di Renjie saw it in his eyes, and it became more and more vividly portrayed.

"Don't say any more." Zhao Han suddenly shouted.
