Chapter 188: Master Zeng is here
In the early morning of the next day, when I woke up from my sleep, there were already some noises in the hall, and Li Yuanfang was missing from the room. Put on your boots, open the window, wipe off your eyes, and stretch.
Looking at the courtyard of the pavilion, Yuan Hui, Li Yuanfang and Wu Le were sitting and talking about martial arts, and they were talking happily......
"My lord, did you sleep well last night?" Sensing Di Renjie's movements, Yuan Hui walked under the window lattice and asked.
"Very good...... This sleep is very down-to-earth! Raising his eyes and looking at the rising sun in the east, the soft glow spread all over the county, Di Renjie sighed: "Today, it's a good weather again......"
On the county ya, the two classes of officials were already standing, and the county magistrate Zeng Tai couldn't wait to retry the murder case. Outside the yatang, the lively people gathered again and pointed and pointed.
Zeng Tai's eyes were a little red, and he estimated that he stayed up late last night. Leaning on the case with one hand, he gently smashed down the shocking wood, and calmly asked Zhang Chun, who was kneeling below: "Zhang Chun, yesterday the official gave you a night to think about it, how about it?" Plead guilty or not? ”
"The villain confesses! I killed people! As soon as Zeng Tai's voice fell, Zhang Chunlian took a few steps forward and confessed his guilt with a sad face.
Zeng Tai, who was still a little careless, immediately came to his senses, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at him: "Yesterday, you boiled up sophistry and refused to admit your guilt, why are you so simple today?" ”
"Back to my lord. Thanks to the kindness of the lord, the villain thought about it carefully last night, the facts are there, the evidence is conclusive, and it is not a way to die, but to suffer more flesh and skin. Therefore, be willing to confess your sins! ”
Hearing his words, Zeng Tai was also puzzled in his heart, and knew that something was wrong: "Why did you kill someone?" ”
"The guest surnamed Wu brought a lot of money, and the villain was interested in seeing the wealth......"
Frowning deeply, he asked a few more questions, and Zhang Chun's answer was obviously perfunctory and inconsistent. However, he insisted on admitting his guilt, which caught Zeng Tai off guard.
From the crowd, Li Yuanfang couldn't help muttering: "This person pleaded guilty, the preface did not match the afterword, overnight, his attitude changed greatly, there is a problem!" ”
Di Chupang naturally noticed it, and raised his hand to stop Yuan Fang: "Look at it!" ”
In the hall, seeing that Zhang Chun pleaded guilty, he did not accept the suggestion of the "dog-headed master" to hastily decide the case, and after a little consideration, he temporarily took Zhang Chun, who was in a hurry to "confess his guilt and surrender to the law", into custody.
Stabilize your mind and order someone to bring another murder case to Wang Wu. What is quite gratifying is that before the case can be questioned and the matter can be judged, he pleaded guilty to the crime of murder in a humble manner......
Zeng Tai was completely stunned. After thinking about it, he suddenly glared at Wang Wudao: "Today is the first time that this official has summoned you, how do you know that I am going to ask about the killing?" ”
Wang Wu was also stunned, and responded in a panic: "The villain killed someone and was arrested by the yamen, so it is expected that the evil act of murder must have been exposed......
In the court, two murders, two suspects rushed to confess, which made Zeng Tai muttered in his heart. Knowing that there were some problems, but they couldn't do what to do, the two confessed their guilt resolutely, which made him at a loss.
Under the hall, looking at the "changing wind and clouds" above the court, Di Chupang whispered: "Today's court trial is a little interesting." ”
"Do you have an idea?" Looking at Di Renjie's expression, Li Yuanfang asked.
"Two people surnamed Wu from Luoyang were killed locally at the same time, which is intriguing......" replied in a low voice.
Yuan Hui stayed aside, and he felt extremely bored, and he was prescient, and this was the result...... After a little understanding of the case, coupled with the information from Zhangzhi, Yuan Langjun is already "confident".
With Zeng Tai's hurried "retreat", the court trial ended hastily, and he made another prudent decision and did not rush to the verdict. It was even very pleasing to Di Renjie, as can be seen from the fat fox's expression......
A few white clouds floated in the blue sky, wisps of warm sunlight sprinkled in Xiaoyang Village, in the backyard of Zhang Chun's house, standing next to the earthen pit, Di Renjie couldn't stop scanning with a pair of eagle eyes.
"Lord County Lieutenant, the ...... who came from the Yamen yesterday to dig up the body here," Zhang Chun's old mother next to her said to Di Renjie uneasily.
"Yuan Hui, do you see any doorways?" Pointing to the dirt pit, Di Chubby asked.
After only a slight glance, Yuan Langjun said softly: "There is almost no blood stained in the yellow mud, and it is obvious that when the body was buried, the blood had already coagulated. There was a short interval between killing people and burying corpses! ”
Hearing the answer, Di Renjie immediately showed an expression of "didn't let me down......
Li Yuanfang was sent to investigate Wang Wu's situation, and Yuan Hui followed Di Renjie to the countryside to explore the murder case and protect him by the way. Although he knew it in his heart, Yuan Hui didn't mean to say much, he just had to wait for the old fox to pay attention to Liu Jiazhuang, Liu Chali. These are also the two murders, the most important role......
He waved his hand and looked into the room.
"This is the room where the guests will be housed that night!" Mother Zhang introduced.
The whole hut is slightly dark, with a bamboo bed against the wall, which can be seen in full view, and there is not much to note. A pair of sharp old eyes looked around, and when he lifted the mat on the bamboo bed, he revealed dark red bloodstains.
Raising his eyes and looking at it casually, a corner of gray cloth was exposed on the beam, which immediately attracted Di Renjie's attention, and he raised his hand and pointed: "Yuan Hui!" ”
"Uller!" Yuan Langjun followed closely......
Hearing the order, he jumped up slightly, picked up a package from above and handed it to Yuan Hui. Seeing Uller's movements, Mother Zhang, an old woman in the countryside, was a little frightened and withdrew tremblingly.
The package was slightly stained with blood, and there were a few copper coins stuffed inside, and some silver barley, and the most eye-catching thing was a kitchen knife, on which a bloody handprint had already been condensed, a left handprint. After observing for a while, Di Chubby: "This should be a murder weapon!" ”
"Come to think of it, I'm afraid that I already have the answer in my heart......" Observing Di Renjie's expression, the corners of Yuan Langjun's mouth swept slightly, and he asked.
"Almost!" Di Renjie put away the package and looked at Yuan Hui: "You little guy, I'm afraid that I can also see through this case of 'killing people for money'......"
"It's almost ......" Hearing Yuan Langjun's answer, the old fox couldn't help but look strange.
Just as he was about to say something, there was a noise from outside. Uller went out to take a look, and when he returned, he said: "General, it was the county commander who brought a group of arresters to the door!" ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Di Renjie suddenly smiled, and said to Yuan Hui: "This Zeng County Order, I also know that I went to the scene to investigate and collect evidence, not bad, not bad......"
Hearing his words, Yuan Langjun didn't know how to complain in his heart...... This is a "marriage" that is destined by nature, Di Fatpang completely gave him a feeling of "love at first sight" for Zeng Tai, and his good feelings were bursting......
After three or two strokes, a cadre of trappers broke in, surrounded Di Renjie and Yuan Hui, and Zeng Tai stepped in. Squinting his eyes slightly, he swept around the three of them, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”
"Idler's ......"
"What is the point here?"
"It's just because the county order is incompetent, so it's ...... to meddle here" made a gesture of under-beating, Di Renjie responded.
