Wei Chang sat in the county Cheng's house in Wannian County for a day.

Of course, he didn't walk in through the door, but jumped over the wall. At first, he was cautious, but later found out that the county lord's family was so thin.

If it weren't for knowing that he was raising a clean man outside, I would have thought that he was a good official with clean sleeves.

There are a lot of houses in his family, which look more like ancestral property, very old, and some houses have been in disrepair for a long time and can no longer be inhabited. Wei Chang was hiding in such a room, and he jumped from the roof of the shed.

There are a total of three "three-room" houses, each of which has two supporting ear chambers, and at least a dozen people are not allowed to live in such a large compound?

But in reality, there are only three.

There are so many rooms, they can pick and choose.

A middle-aged woman looks like she should be the mistress of this house, but she looks too ugly.

Even a person like Wei Chang, who is not a picky eater, felt that he didn't want to look at her anymore when he saw her.

Maybe this is the reason for the derailment of the county lord?

In fact, the ugliness of his wife is not a reason for a man to cheat, such as the handsome guy Zhuge Liang, his wife is said to be very ugly, but Zhuge Liang never messes around.

Of course, whether Mr. Zhuge is engaged in it or not, perhaps only he knows it, but in various rumors, Mr. Zhuge is still very great.

In this family, in addition to an ugly mother-in-law, there is also a daughter and a maid.

This home, it's as simple as that.

At first, Wei Chang thought that there was a male family member standing at the door, but when he went around to the door and looked, it was empty.

In this county, except for a few buildings left by ancestral properties, they are really poor enough.

……

Just two minutes after the unitary time, Li Lingfu came back, he was wearing a set of official uniforms, and he didn't look very neat, and by chance, he saw a corner of his clothes, and there were patches.

"This is a very good person, he is pretending to be incorruptible. It's a pity, a person in his forties, still an eight-grade petty official, I really don't know how long it will take to pretend to see the effect. ”

Wei Chang leaned on the crack of the window and watched the county Cheng Li Lingfu pass by, and he felt deep sorrow for the latter.

He had been sitting in the empty house for four hours.

I've heard the sound of people walking a few times, but no matter who it is, they won't crane their necks to look at him.

Waiting for Li Lingfu to finish eating, another half an hour passed, and then he went to the study next to the master bedroom.

Wei Chang peeked a few times, and had already planned how to get in quietly.

He was waiting, waiting for the county lady to leave everyone's sight.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Mrs. County Cheng left with her daughter, leaving only an ugly-looking maid to stay at home.

This maid is also really ugly, maybe this is deliberately done by the lady?

The maid sat in the courtyard, sitting alone, looking at the stars in the sky.

Wei Chang suddenly jumped into the study, so startled that Li Lingfu gasped, and just wanted to shout, he was stabbed by Wei Chang in the neck, and at the same time took out the token: "I'm not here to kill you, I'm just here to ask you a few questions." ”

"Since it's a public office, why don't you go to the county to find me during the day?"

"Because my methods are not suitable for use in crowded places."

"What do you want to do?" Li Lingfu asked.

"What kind of means do you usually use when interrogating prisoners who don't tell the truth?" Wei Chang asked rhetorically.

Li Lingfu understood Wei Chang's words, waved his hand, and signaled that Wei Chang didn't have to hold him with a knife.

Wei Chang withdrew the knife. Seeing Li Lingfu walk to the door, he shouted to the maid: "Jiashun, you don't have to wait at home, go out and play for a while." ”

"Oh, sir, what's wrong?"

"No, I'm going to see a guest in a while, it's inconvenient to have you here."

"Oh, yes, sir."

After the maid left, he closed the door and sat back in vain, and before Wei Chang could ask, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I knew that something would happen sooner or later." Looking at your official uniform, you are a bad person, and since you are targeted, I don't think I need to lie. ”

Wei Chang sat down, "Say, if there is really any difficulty, maybe I will say two good things to you in my report to Shangfeng." ”

Seeing hope, Li Lingfu's eyes instinctively lit up, but immediately, he shook his head again: "Killing people pays for life, what else can I say." Since you can come to me in such a way, I believe you have the evidence. ”

"It seems that you still don't know enough about our bad people, we bad people handle cases, and we never pay attention to evidence." Wei Chang said with a wry smile: "The same is true for the saint today, he doesn't need too much evidence to do things. ”

"How dare you talk to me like this, doesn't that mean that you have no evidence at all now?" Li Lingfu sneered: "If that's the case......"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Chang grabbed the inkstone and hit Li Lingfu's left hand, only to hear a loud bang, and the four bones on the back of his right hand were all broken. Li Lingfu screamed in pain.

"If you don't want to suffer anymore, just tell the truth." Wei Chang knocked on the table with an inkstone and said, "I don't have much patience to talk nonsense with you. I've decided you're a murderer, and you are. The reason why I dare to tell you in advance that I have no evidence is because I am sure that you will tell the truth. ”

"If you use your private deeds, I will go to Dali Temple to sue you."

"Click", another inkstone, a finger of his right hand was broken, Wei Chang said: "I am not a cruel person, but you are a cruel person." You poisoned a nineteen-year-old girl to death, and everything I did to you today was to avenge her. From now on, you have to tell me about the case, and one more nonsense, and I'm ready to move your feet. When the time comes, you won't even be able to walk, and that kind of misery, I think you will know very well. ”

Li Lingfu's face was already pale in pain: "You are too ruthless." ”

Wei Chang lifted the inkstone again.

Li Lingfu habitually raised his hand, wanting to block it, but rolled his eyes in pain. "Stop fighting, I say, I'll say it all. I admit that I killed Hongyan. ”

"If you are so well-behaved earlier, you will not have to suffer." Wei Chang took out a painkiller pill and stuffed it into Li Lingfu's mouth. He wasn't very compassionate, but he was just worried that Li Lingfu would faint in pain.

"Heh," Li Lingfu sneered: "Li Heng keeps saying that torture is not allowed, but in fact, he himself supports a group of cronies who are tortured to extract confessions. In the long run, unjust, false and wrongly decided cases will inevitably arise. ”

"Are you complaining, or are you defending yourself?" Wei Chang said: "I dare to tell you one more thing, not everyone in the entire team of bad people dares to use private acts like me. Most of them still know the rules very well. But you were unlucky enough to run into me today. But I don't have to make a good guy a criminal. ”

"But you don't have proof."

"'Facts' are not 'truths'. I'm sure you can understand me. ”

"Of course I can, like a trickster. All we see is that we lied to ourselves. ”

"Yes." Wei Chang said: "What you said just now is also lying to yourself. Say, why did you kill her. ”

"Very well, today it is finally my turn to be asked. Then I'll talk to you about it. Li Lingfu put his hand on his words, and his left hand was already swollen like a ball: "I said, she begged me to let me kill her, do you believe it?" ”

Wei Chang stared at Li Lingfu and didn't speak.

Suddenly, Li Lingfu burst out laughing, laughing worse than crying, worse than crying: "I know that if you don't believe it, you won't believe it." No one will believe ......" he sobbed at this.

"Looks like there's a story here." Wei Chang said.

"Yes," Li Lingfu said, "she said that she wanted me to divorce within a month." ”

"Why?"

"Because she was pregnant, she violently wrapped her belly around her waist to prevent others from seeing."

"You're a bastard." Wei Chang said.

"No, I'm not a jerk." Li Lingfu said: "That child is not mine. ”

"Whose is that?" Wei Chang asked.

"It's the king!" Li Lingfu said.

"What?" Wei Chang felt his scalp tighten, "Since you are King Cheng's child, why are you ......, don't King Cheng admit it?" ”

"If you were a king, would you admit it? He is the third prince, once the crown prince is killed, or if there is any other accident, he is very likely to ascend to the position of the crown prince. You say, can he allow this kind of scandal to come to light? Li Lingfu said through gritted teeth.

"You just said that it was Wang Hongyan who begged you to kill her, what's going on?"

"Yes, she begged me to kill her."

"I want to hear the reason."

"She said, let me divorce my wife and marry her." Li Lingfu's eyes, hidden under his eyebrows, seem to be a pair of black holes.

Wei Chang didn't understand what Li Lingfu meant, he shook his head and said, "That's why you killed her?" But I didn't hear it at all, she meant to beg you. ”

"I told her at the time that I couldn't divorce my wife. Because I'm about to be promoted, if I divorce my wife without cause, it will affect my reputation.

I begged her to help her redeem her when I was promoted.

But she didn't agree and insisted that I marry her. He also said that if I don't marry, I will go to the ministry to sue me, and my fate will be ruined.

In the first year of the new calendar, I was the county magistrate of Wannian County, and I was only twenty-five years old at the time. Everyone says I have a future, and I think I have a future. For so many years, I worked honestly and hard, and in order to show my support for the emperor's new policy, I deliberately delayed until I was thirty years old and did not marry, and then waited for the state to assign me a daughter-in-law.

At that time, I beat gongs and drums to marry this ugly girl into the family, and then I went to the court to sing the praises of the emperor's new policy. But guess what? ”

"The Emperor ignored you." Wei Chang said.

"Hahahaha!" Li Lingfu said with a smile while crying: "You're not right, Emperor Zhide is definitely a diligent emperor, how can he not watch the twists and turns?" ”

"And how did he get back to you?"

"He gave me four words back: 'posturing.'"

Wei Chang smiled bitterly: "I think the emperor's comment is completely fine." ”

"Nope! There is a problem, how can there be no problem! Li Lingfu stood up angrily, looking at him, if it weren't for the injury on his hands, he would definitely slap the table:

"By doing this, I am clearly supporting the New Deal. Even if I am of humble status, he should not despise me so much.

Some people say that I am doing superficial work, but superficial work will also expand my influence.

Moreover, if the emperor is willing to always use me, then the influence will be even greater! But he, a bastard, didn't do this, but wrote back and scolded me! ”

"What does this have to do with you killing Wang Hongyan?" Wei Chang asked.

"Of course it does." Li Lingfu said with a cold face: "If it weren't for the emperor's reply that hit me hard, how could I have fallen?"

I'm not depraved, how can I go to a hellish place like Pingkangfang?

At first, I thought I was an official of Wannian County, but when I went, I realized that I was nothing there at all.

You say she's nineteen, but you're wrong.

She was eighteen years old when I took care of her, I took care of her for four years, and now she's twenty-two.

Moreover, she is not a girl for a long time. He pretends to be innocent with me all day long. Tian is shameless to say what kind of Qingqi he is! ”

Wei Chang listened without speaking, he felt that the person in front of him had been driven crazy by life.

In fact, he belongs to the kind of person who is not satisfied, he is driven crazy by his own desires.

"For the past four years, she didn't allow me to touch her. Then suddenly one day, she became very proactive, and then she became my woman. But I later learned that she had been serving as a king for a long time. And when she was pregnant, she made me a scapegoat. ”
