Chapter 59: Telling the Truth

The queen looked at the county lord and said:

"Wan Qing is not an ordinary person, it is indeed difficult for you to check him, if he embarrasses you, you can tell me, come and report to me at any time, I will personally send someone to do it for you, you just have to let go of your hands and feet to investigate."

The county lord hugged his fists:

"Yes, thank you for your kindness."

The queen waved her hand at the county lord and said:

"Then you can step back first, and if you need my help, come to me at any time."

The county lord hugged his fists:

"Yes, Niangniang, the minister will retire."

After speaking, the county lord immediately turned around and left.

The queen also breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly:

"Wan Qing, you are really despicable, you actually designed to frame the Qin family husband and wife, this trick is really ruthless enough, if you want to force Mei Niang to show up, you are really a sinister and cunning villain, this time, when I get the evidence of your murder and planting, see how you will be in the future, I must make you discredited this time, and let Prime Minister Wan Jinbao also feel ashamed of you."

When the county lord returned to the house, he was full of entanglement, he knew that he betrayed Wan Qing in front of the queen mother, and Wan Qing would definitely not let go of himself easily after he knew it, so his heart was very conflicted and worried.

Under the pressure of the queen's mother, the county lord did not dare to do nothing, so he immediately asked his guards to call the witness in the case of the poisoning and murder of the Qin family husband and wife for questioning, and he also wanted to interrogate whether the witness was committing perjury.

The witness who was so injured that he had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and the whole person looked like a sperm.

The witness was taken by the guards to the chamber of the county lord, and he immediately knelt down and bowed:

"The grass people meet the adults, I don't know what the adults suddenly called me?"

The county lord looked at the witness kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but be stunned, and asked:

"This official called you here today to want to know some things about the murder case of the Qin family's husband and wife, don't be nervous."

The witness then said earnestly:

"My lord, didn't the villain already make it clear before! My wife went to Qin's house to borrow some rice to eat, but she didn't go home after she went at night, I went to Qin's house early the next morning to find her, but I didn't expect that when I went to Qin's yard, I saw that my wife was poisoned by them and killed, and then I found a few guards outside the village, so I told them about the Qin family's husband and wife poisoning and murdering my wife, and they went directly to Qin's house to arrest them red-handed, and finally, Those guards also searched for the unused poison powder in the Qin family's house, my lord, you say, my wife was not poisoned alive by the Qin family husband and wife, who else could there be! Didn't they just go to their house and borrow some rice to eat, and they would do it? A human life is not an animal! ”

After hearing the words of this witness, the county lord said with a depressed face:

"Okay, I know what you said, you have already said it, I didn't come to you today to hear from you, to tell you the truth, don't think that this case can be understood casually, the queen mother has already started this case, and, judging from the evidence she has, it is very likely that the husband and wife of the Qin family were framed and blamed, therefore, as the family of the deceased, you are a witness, and your words are to be responsible, therefore, don't tell me what you said before, I just want to know if there is any evidence other than what you say, and I have said it all so clearly, you are a smart man, and I don't think you will not fail to understand. ”

When the witness heard the words of the county lord, he immediately had a surprised expression on his face, and said with doubt:

"My lord, why did this queen mother suddenly ask about this case? The queen mother was not present at the time of the incident, how could she know that the Qin family husband and wife were framed for blame, according to the villain's opinion, the queen mother is not looking for trouble! ”

The county lord immediately said with a serious face:

"Bold! You really have the courage of an ambitious leopard, you dare to talk like this, and dare to doubt and accuse the queen, you are really good. ”

The witness trembled with fright, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"The adults atone for their sins, the villains don't choose their words, how dare you doubt and accuse the queen mother, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die!"

The county lord gasped and asked:

"You don't pretend to be confused with me here, you have thought about it yourself, this case is now the queen mother personally interrogated, and someone has been found to investigate it thoroughly, if you hide the truth like this and don't tell the truth, when the queen mother looks for you, it is estimated that I will not be so polite to you, and you will suffer when the time comes, but don't blame the official for not reminding you."

The witness suddenly trembled in his heart, he understood that the queen mother wanted to investigate the case thoroughly, and she had already found some eyebrows, if she continued to hide it, not to mention Wan Qing's guards, even Wan Qing might not be able to save him.

"My lord, if I tell the truth, then what can you and the queen mother do if you want to punish me? If I am put in prison, what will the family do? The witness was puzzled.

As soon as the county lord heard the witness's words, he immediately frowned, and said seriously:

"Then you have to think about it, if you don't tell the truth, the queen will blame it, you just don't report it, it's a capital crime! If you tell the truth, as long as you are not the main culprit, then you will not be sentenced to death. ”

The witness choked up, engaged in a final ideological struggle with himself, and was forced to tell the truth.

"My lord, I, I am actually also persecuted, if I hadn't been forced, I wouldn't have framed the Qin family and the couple, and I had no choice." The witness finally relented.

Hearing the words of this witness, the county lord's heart was not much excited, because the matter had come to this, and he also understood that the Qin family husband and wife and Qin Meiniang were all framed, and Wan Qing, the person who framed them, was the most suspicious, so at this moment, his heart was both excited and worried.

"Oh, then tell me quickly, is it that Young Master Wan poisoned and poisoned your wife, and then he gave you a sum of silver to make false testimony and frame the Qin family husband and wife and Qin Meiniang, isn't that the case?" The county lord was full of excitement.

The witness was suddenly full of confusion and said:

"Ahh It's not like this, it's not what you said, Young Master Wan didn't let me poison people, besides, even if Young Master Wan gave me silver, then I couldn't poison my own wife! My wife actually committed suicide by taking poison at home, and several guards under Young Master Wan gave me this strategy, asking me to move my wife's body to the courtyard of the Qin family, and then falsify the scene and evidence to frame them for poisoning and murder, so my wife's death really has nothing to do with the Qin family and Qin Meiniang, and I can't help it, I was forced by those guards, if I don't do what they do, then they will attack my family. ”

When he had said this, the witness sat down on the ground, looking completely different from the appearance of his monkey spirit.

After listening to the words of this witness, the county lord suddenly looked blindfolded, he thought that it was really as the queen mother said, all this was a case of murder and disaster carefully planned by Wan Qing, but he didn't think that the deceased committed suicide, which really surprised him.

The county lord stood up with some tears and laughter, and said seriously:

"You, what you said is true, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense with me here, make things up, things are all here, if you dare to hide the truth of the case, then the official can't protect you, you just wait to be arrested by the queen to review!"

The witness suddenly looked terrified and said:

"My lord, my lord, what the villain said is true! How dare I deceive you and the Queen! If you don't believe it, go to Young Master Wan's mansion and find out the truth of the matter by asking a few of his guards, how can I dare to hide it! Please be aware of it. ”

When the county lord saw that the witness did not look like he was lying, he immediately said:

"Well, since you have concluded that what you said is true, then the official will believe you for the time being, but this case will not be known like this, after I have made it clear to the queen, if what you say is inconsistent with the results of her investigation, then you will wait to be sentenced to death!"

The witness then crawled up to the county lord, grabbed his robe, and said with great excitement:

"My lord, what the villain said is true, don't dare to lie! Please beg the queen to let me go, I am also forced to be helpless, I have an old mother and children at home, and my wife is dead, can I live without me at home, please sir, you must save me! ”

The county lord sighed and said:

"Hey! Why did you go earlier, if it weren't for the queen's mother intervening in this case, it is estimated that now the Qin family and the husband and wife have been beheaded, and there is nothing to do with you, so it will hurt the official to handle the unjust case. ”

The witness burst into tears, "My lord, help me, help me!" ”

The county lord asked the witness to entangle, let a few guards take him, and then started to prepare to find the queen mother, he wanted to tell the queen mother the truth, although it was very different from the previous assumption and inference, but according to his current inference, the witness said a very high degree of credibility, in this way, the queen mother wants to find Wanqing's trouble, it is estimated that it is very difficult.

Soon, the county lord came to the queen's house, and hugged his fist at the queen's mother:

"Niangniang, you asked the minister to thoroughly investigate the case of the poisoning and murder of the Qin family husband and wife, and the minister has already examined some eyebrows, so he specially came to report to you."

When the queen mother heard the words of the county lord, she suddenly came to her senses, and she said with an urgent face:

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite efficient! You've found out so quickly, and it seems that I should have talked to you a long time ago and told you harsh things, so I didn't have to put so much effort into it. ”
