Chapter 186: The Game
(2-in-1 chapter, no update today.) )
In the courtyard of the house in the east of Beihai City, Liu Ji's face was red and sweating, he never expected that Ji Wen would suspect that he was related to the murder and the robbery in the capital.
I do have a lot of friends in the capital, and I have a lot of friends, and this Zhou Meng is indeed the one who has the best relationship with him. But although Zhou Meng is a person in the market, from Liu Ji's point of view, he will not do some murder and robbery. But I don't know the inside story at the moment, I can't defend it, and the matter has already reached my head, at this time, it is not a question of exculpating Zhou Meng, but a question of whether he can get out.
"Ji Shicao, if Zhou Meng really did the case, although I have some friendship with him, I will never cover him up. But Ji Shicao has to make it clear, I, Liu Ji, will not do any illegal acts, let alone participate in any major cases of human life and burglary, which cannot be believed. When it comes to my reputation and conduct, I cannot tolerate others making false accusations. Liu Ji straightened his chest and said.
Ji Wen laughed, looked at Liu Ji coldly and said: "Liu Beijia doesn't seem to have figured out the situation yet, and you don't want to think about it, we have come all the way here to look for you, are we here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Well, I'll show you the evidence. ”
Ji Wen reached out and took out a roll of paper with dense fly-headed small characters written on it from his arms, handed it over with a smile and said: "This is the confession of Zhou Meng's accomplices Jiang Pingshan, Shen Liulang and others, you can take a look at it." ”
As a result, Liu Ji hurriedly began to read those confessions, and after a while, his head was full of cold sweat, and he muttered: "This is a frame, this is a frame, a complete frame." I hadn't done any of these things at all, and someone was deliberately trying to frame me. ”
Ji Wen stretched out his hand and snatched the confession and stuffed it into his arms, and sighed: "Liu don't drive, I have seen a lot of this kind of rhetoric, who does not say that he is wronged, who does not call out that he is framed?" You know if what is said above is true. That Zhou Meng bullied the market in the West Market, did you ever bring his soldiers to give him a strong prestige? Zhou Meng collects money from merchants in the West Market, as high as more than 130 yuan per month, do you have a share of 30%? ”
Liu Ji shouted: "I don't know what kind of money it is, it's the money I borrowed like Zhou Meng, there is a sense of wealth between friends, I am short of money, Zhou Meng borrowed me for turnover and that's it." If I had known that the money had come from the wrong place, I would not have asked for it. ”
Ji Wen said lightly: "It's better to lie to the ghost with such an excuse." Let me ask you again, have you talked to Zhou Meng about your enemies in the capital? There was a man named Ma Quan in the murder who used to have a good relationship with you. What is the relationship between Ma Quan's wife Zhang and you? ”
Liu Ji's sweat beads trickled down and he was silent.
Ji Wen smiled and said: "Liu Beijia, you are also a person with status, how can you do the ugly thing of adultery with him." I also know that in the capital, your father-in-law in the prince's mansion is very strict with you, and your wife is also very strong to you, you don't have the courage to find a woman outside, but you can't sleep with your brother's wife, right? Well, even if you sleep with Ma Quan's wife, you can't let Zhou Meng kill Ma Quan just because Ma Quan is making trouble with you and threatening to expose the matter, right? You're going too far. ”
"I didn't let Zhou Meng kill him, how could I do such a thing?" Liu Ji shuddered and shouted.
"On the afternoon of March 12, you and Zhou Meng and others were drinking in the Xishi Restaurant, did you say that Ma Quan was looking for trouble with you after you got drunk, and you wanted to cut him with a knife?"
"This ......"
"Don't deny it, Jiang Pingshan and Shen Liulang are all present, and the confessions are clearly written, and it is useless to deny them."
Liu Ji trembled and said: "That's just a drunken speech, how can it be taken seriously?" ”
Ji Wen shouted coldly: "Joke, but that horse is indeed dead, and was killed by Zhou Meng, I don't know that you don't want Zhou Meng to remove the disaster in your heart for you, it's just that you can't say this kind of thing." Let me ask you again, when you gather and drink together, do you talk about the rich families in the capital, it is said that you mentioned more than a dozen wealthy families, claiming that their families are very rich, such as the Weiguo Mansion, did you say that the Marquis of Wei has a good life, and the ancestors left thousands of wealth for him to squander, which is very unfair or something? ”
Liu Ji sat down on the ground and said in a low voice: "I did say it, but ......"
"Shut up, you must say that you are drunk and gossiping, but in fact, the big families in the capital have been robbed and robbed repeatedly, and there have been more than a dozen major cases in recent years, and some cases are also mixed with homicides, and now there is evidence to prove that they were all committed by Zhou Meng and his gang. Do you still think you can get out of it? Gynwin shouted coldly.
Liu Ji finally understood that Ji Wen was going to put all these things on his head, and these things seemed to be difficult to defensibly clear, because he did say some excessive things and did some things out of line.
For example, Ma Quan's wife, he did sleep with her many times, Ma Quan also threatened to make the matter public after he knew, and he took a lot of money to prevaricate, but unfortunately he was not rich, and everything was controlled by his wife, and he had no money to settle the matter. And Ma Quan really died not long after, and he suspected that Zhou Meng helped him do him, but how could Liu Ji inquire about this kind of thing?
When it comes to the rich households in Chang'an, it is also when everyone is dissatisfied with the world when they chat, and they feel that they can't earn thousands of furniture by working hard. I am just familiar with the situation of these wealthy families, Zhou Meng, of course they said a lot when they asked, but if Zhou Meng and they really did this, it would be difficult to say clearly that it was not because of their own words.
But Liu Ji faintly felt that Zhou Meng would not do such a crazy thing. I have a very good relationship with him, not only because Zhou Meng can be attached, but also because I feel that Zhou Meng is not an ordinary idle man with no brains, but a person with some ability and thought. To say that Zhou Meng secretly made so many big cases, Liu Ji still can't believe it.
Moreover, Liu Ji has just discovered the most important problem, that is, there is no testimony from Zhou Meng in the testimony he saw just now, which means that Zhou Meng did not admit guilt. The main culprit has no confession to point to him, and Giwen is suspected of deceiving himself into admitting his guilt during this trip, and he cannot be easily frightened by them.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji raised his head and said: "Ji Shicao, I don't care to defend these things you just said, if Ji Shicao thinks that I am behind the scenes, please come up with direct evidence." I asked to confront Zhou Meng, if Zhou Meng insisted that I instructed him, then I have nothing to say, just let it be dealt with. ”
When Ji Wen heard this, he laughed, and several drops of saliva sprayed on Liu Ji's face, Liu Ji stretched out his sleeve to wipe it off, and said angrily: "Ji Shicao, is this request too much?" Do you say that I was involved in a murder and burglary, and I couldn't even ask for a confront? That's a frame for me. ”
Ji Wen's laughter stopped, looked at Liu Ji and said, "Of course you can confront each other, and I also hope that you will confront each other, so that you can find out." Then please ask Liu Beijia to hand over Zhou Meng. ”
Liu Jileng said: "What do you mean by this? ”
"What do you mean? Zhou Meng was on the run that day, and you Liu Beijia suddenly left the capital to take up a post in Beihai County, where dogs don't, is this a coincidence? Did he know that the case had happened, and fled the capital with Zhou Meng to shield him? We came here to ask you to hand over Zhou Meng and confess your guilt, you are still pretending to be innocent here, but I didn't expect Liu Beijia to do a trick. ”
"Blood spews people, how can I stop Zhou Meng's whereabouts? I didn't cover him up, Ji Shicao, I'll give you face, but don't forget that I'm not easy to mess with. If you want to frame me, I'm afraid someone will not agree. Liu Ji got up and said angrily.
"Sit down, and then move the sword without eyes." Jiwen's men next to him raised their knives and shouted angrily.
Liu Ji looked at the bright sword in front of him, and understood that the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, so he had to take a few steps back and glared angrily.
Ji Wen stood up, paced slowly and said: "Liu Beijia, you just want to talk about the relationship between you and the crown prince, but let me tell you, I came this time to get the approval of Li Xiangguo of the Political Affairs Hall, Li Xiangguo said, no matter who is involved in this matter, what is the back. Jing, you have to handle it impartially, so don't scare me with such words. We have already discovered Zhou Meng's whereabouts, and he is in this Beihai City, if you don't confess today, we will catch him soon. We are looking for you to give you a chance, and if you know the current affairs and explain the truth, we will not embarrass you. As you said, you and the prince are relatives, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, after we caught Zhou Meng, we planned to let the case be closed on him, and we didn't want to involve you, you have to understand our difficulties and painstaking efforts. ”
Of course, Liu Ji couldn't admit it at this time, so he shook his head and said, "No need, if I'm really involved, you take me." ”
Ji Wen smiled and said, "It seems that Liu Beijia doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, that's it, when I didn't say it." In order to prevent you from reporting to Zhou Meng, we asked Liu Beijia to stay with us in the past few days, and asked Liu Beijia to write a note, and we sent someone to the county government to take leave, which is not too much. Anyway, in order to prove your innocence, you should also help us catch Zhou Meng. ”
Liu Ji wanted to refuse, but it seemed that it was useless to refuse, even if he refused Ji Wen, he would not let himself leave easily, frowned and nodded: "But it can only be limited to two days, I don't have time to accompany you after two days, I have a lot of affairs in Beihai County, and I can't delay government affairs." ”
Ji Wen smiled: "How dare you delay the government affairs of Don't drive, isn't it our sin, without Liu's farewell, Beihai County is not a mess?" In less than two days, one day and one night will be revealed. ”
Liu Ji ignored his teasing and snorted coldly.
Ji Wen beckoned: "How about letting Liu Beijia's heart come to grind the ink and paper for you?" ”
Liu Ji then remembered that he hadn't seen the water girl until now, and Ji Wen instructed the people around him, "Please ask that lady to come out." ”
The sound of footsteps, the frightened water girl staggered out of the room, Liu Ji saw that she was fine, and his heart was relieved, but Liu Ji suddenly remembered an extremely serious problem, and when he was frowning and thinking, he heard Ji Wen speak.
"Liu Beijia has a very moist life, look at this little lady, she is very handsome, no wonder Liu Beijia left the capital to come to Beihai County, no wonder Mrs. Zun stayed in the capital and didn't follow, it turned out that she knew that Liu Beijia was taken care of so well by other little ladies, I am afraid that she was very relieved."
Liu Ji chuckled in his heart, being found in this place to show that Ji Wen already knew about the relationship between the water girl and himself, and it was useless to deny it at the moment, it seemed that this matter could not be hidden. Thinking of his wife's face after learning about this, and the words of his father-in-law Du Youlin after knowing this, Liu Ji's scalp was numb, and a heavy stone fell in his heart.
Liu Ji, who was still in a happy mood when he woke up in the morning, didn't expect that after a few hours, his life would fall into such an embarrassing situation.
……
The sun was shining in the courtyard of the inner hall of the Lady Qin Guo's mansion in Chang'an, and Wang Yuan, who came out of the house, was in a much better mood, and all the doubts when he came had been answered, although what happened was quite weird, but at least it was not too bad. As long as you don't have anything to do with Mrs. Guo, you won't break through the bottom line.
Of course, what happened between Mrs. Qin Guo and the two maids was not expected, but what happened was what happened, Wang Yuan was not a tangled person, he was also a victim in this matter, and he did not deliberately provoke them, but he did not feel too sorry in his heart.
The sun was dazzling in the courtyard, Wang Yuan saw that in the red corridor shaded by green trees in the distance, Zi Yun'er and Qing Yun'er's two delicate figures were standing speechless against the railing, and when they saw Wang Yuan coming out, the two turned their backs to Wang Yuan almost at the same time, and they didn't know whether they didn't dare or didn't want to look at Wang Yuan.
But what made them uneasy was that Wang Yuan's footsteps were still getting closer and closer, and he came straight to the corridor, the two of them nervously clutched the wooden railing, their bodies trembled slightly, and their faces became even paler.
"Two girls. Wang Yuan was polite. Wang Yuan's voice came from behind him.
Zi Yun'er gritted her teeth and didn't look back, her palms were full of sweat. Qing Yun'er seemed to feel that she shouldn't snub Wang Yuan so much, so she turned around and bowed her head slightly.
Wang Yuan was actually very embarrassed, although he had a skin-to-skin relationship with two women, but to be honest, he didn't even have any impression of their bodies, because he was completely unconscious at that time. However, after all, it hurt them, and the behavior after taking the strong medicine caused a heavy blow to the two of them, and it was useless to escape from this matter, so it was better to make it clear.
"Hmm...... I don't know how to say what happened that night...... Madame has already told me everything just now......" Wang Yuan said stiffly.
"Please...... Stop it. Qingyun'er's head was lowered, and her chin was about to touch her chest.
Zi Yun'er turned her head suddenly, gritted her teeth and looked at Wang Yuandao, "Why don't you say it?" Qing'er, we saved his life with a clean body, but we want to hear what he will do with this matter. ”
Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "This ...... The two girls said that they would do what they wanted, and I was responsible for it. Madame said......"
"Madame said she was going to give us to you as concubines, didn't she? If you think it's beautiful, wouldn't that be too cheap for you. Zi Yun'er said coldly.
Wang Yuan scratched his head and said: "That's what Madame said, but it doesn't necessarily need to be like this, everything depends on the attitude of the two." In short, I will make amends as you want me to make amends. ”
Zi Yun'er sneered: "I want you to return our innocence, can you do it?" ”
Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "This ...... I'm afraid I can't do it, two girls, I don't want this to happen, but it's come to this point, and there is no room for regret. If I had been a little conscious at the time, I would not have been rude to the two of you. ”
Zi Yun'er said angrily: "It's not just rude, look at us." ”
Zi Yun'er rolled up her sleeves suddenly, revealing her snow-white arms, but she saw that her arms were covered with bruises. He tore the clothes on his chest violently, revealing half of his chest, and his snow-white skin was also marked with shocking bruises.
Wang Yuan was speechless in surprise, and Zi Yun'er reached out and tore Qing Yun'er's collar again, which was also full of strange bruises. Qingyun'er hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her collar and said in a low voice, "Zi'er, don't do this." ”
"Look at the good things you have done, look at you like a humble gentleman, but you have done such a thing. Qing'er is still red, and she will definitely leave the root of the disease in the future, you beast, I can't wait to kill you. Zi Yun'er scolded angrily.
Qingyun'er's face was flushed, and she whispered: "Zi'er, don't say it, don't say it." ”
Wang Yuan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he asked himself that he was also a gentle person to women, and he was so crazy that day, it would inevitably leave a great shadow on the two women in front of him. In fact, the behavior that night was equivalent to a perverted **, and it seems that it is difficult for them to forgive themselves.
"I don't know what to say. I really didn't know anything at the time, but anyway, I hurt both of them by doing a beastly act, and I felt very guilty. All I can say is that you saved my life, and I will remember this and will have a chance to repay it. I will keep my mouth shut about it, and I will not mention Madame's proposal again, for I now understand that the idea of taking you as a concubine is not a good idea. The two of you will take good care of your body, but what compensation can you get along, even if you propose it to me, I will be fully satisfied. ”
Zi Yun'er snorted coldly and didn't speak.
Wang Yuan sighed and turned around to leave, Zi Yun'er said angrily: "You plan to leave like this?" Just excuse yourself and walk away? ”
Wang Yuan said: "What else does the girl have to say?" ”
Ziyun'er said: "Madam said that she wanted to give us to you as a concubine, I didn't want to, but Qing'er, I don't know if she wants to, why don't you ask her what she thinks?" ”
Qingyun'er said busily
