Chapter 323: The Truth Revealed (Medium)
As night fell, there was a faint sound of drums in the Hanshan Temple in the distance, announcing that the day was coming to an end.
Although there are still many places in Gusu City that are brightly lit, like daytime, and like the city that never sleeps. But the entire southeastern city is still silent. As for the large countryside outside the city, it was already shrouded in night and darkness, and there was no sound except for a few barking dogs and insects.
In the middle of the night, in the quiet environment of Beigang Village, a figure leaned over and cautiously moved forward through the shadow of the village house wall. Obviously, this man was very familiar with the environment of the village, and although he was very careful, he was quite slow on his feet, and after a while, he had come to one of the courtyards.
After looking left and right and making sure that there was no one around, he leaned in and knocked lightly on the courtyard door three times. Sure enough, there were already people waiting in the door, and as soon as they heard the movement, they suddenly opened the door, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
"Kiss, I miss me. It's a good thing you released the code today, otherwise I would have to touch it myself. Seeing the delicate figure in front of him, the man in gray immediately spoke, and at the same time, his body had already pounced, and he took the woman into his arms. A big mouth kissed directly on the face.
If there were other people in the village watching, they would be surprised, because this woman who was carried into the arms of the man and wantonly and frivolously was none other than Mrs. Zhuang, who had just died of her husband. At this time, how could she have the slightest grievance and sadness after her husband's death, only endless desire-hope and joy, and immediately made love with the visitor for a while, and then closed the courtyard door again.
As soon as the door was closed, the man couldn't bear it anymore, so he wanted to pick up Zhuang and go inside. It was only at this time that the Zhuang family woke up like a dream, and quickly pushed the other party: "Dead ghost, why are you so anxious!" I'm all here, are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape? ”
After the man was stunned for a moment, she continued, "I didn't ask you to come here today to do this. ”
"What's that for?" The man looked at her with some puzzlement.
"It's not Zhuang Qiang's death again!" Zhuang snorted angrily and said: "You have also seen the few people who came from the village during the day, they are here for Zhuang Qiang's death." Listening to what they meant, it seems that they have found evidence that he was not killed by Naye Dayou. Do you think they're suspicious of me? ”
"How is this possible? The county government has investigated the matter, and no problems have been found, after more than half a month, people have already entered the ground, can they still find out what is not possible? The man said disapprehantly, "They're just scaring you." Well, you didn't show any flaws, did you? ”
"Of course not." Zhuang immediately shook his head: "They still want to open the coffin for an autopsy, but I have refused." But I can't let go of it in my heart, so I want to talk to you about it. If you can get them to stop there, everything will be fine. Don't you always boast that you have someone in the yamen, and this time I will look at you. ”
"This ......" The man hesitated a little: "I do recognize the people in the yamen, but they are only from the county government." The people of the Suzhou prefect's yamen are not easy to speak. ”
"Then you don't want to be a long-term couple with me once and for all?" Zhuang Shi looked at the man in front of him with blank eyes: "I am a widowed woman, don't I have to count on you?" ”
was stared at by this woman with a pair of wonderful eyes that seemed to hook the soul, and after listening to her words, the man only felt a sense of pride. When he nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll think of a way." ”
"Great, that's what I rely on." Zhuang was reassured, and he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately fell into his arms and made love with the man again.
The fire in the man's heart was stirred up again, and he didn't care about this fashion in the front yard, a pair of hands had skillfully roamed over the woman's body, and Zhuang Shi let out a seductive moan.
Just as the man and woman were about to do more unsightly things, suddenly the bolted courtyard door was slammed into the outside. With a thud, the arm-thick latch snapped, and the door slammed open.
"Ah......h And when they saw the situation outside the courtyard gate clearly, their faces suddenly turned pale-
I saw that outside the courtyard, there were actually twenty or thirty people standing, including those government officials who had been to the village during the day, as well as a group of villagers in the village. Even the elders in the village were present, and they were all so angry that they blew their beards and stared at their eyes, their faces full of anger and disbelief.
"Qiao Lao Liu, you actually did such an immoral thing, how unreasonable is this!" The oldest man in the village, who was also in charge of the position of Lizheng, immediately scolded angrily: "You still won't separate me!" ”
It was only at this time that Qiao Lao Liu and Zhuang Shi were shocked to realize that the two were still hugging each other and hurriedly separated. Qiao Lao Liu snorted and said, "Taigong, you listen to my explanation, I'm just ......"
"What else is there to explain!" Rizheng immediately interrupted him: "When this lord came to talk to us just now, we didn't believe it. Now it seems that Zhuang Qiang's death was indeed not committed by Naye Dayou, but by you two dog men and women! said, was your adultery broken by Zhuang Qiang, so he killed him! ”
"Wronged, Taigong, I just covet this woman's beauty, but I don't dare to kill for her." Qiao Lao Liu immediately called Qu Lai.
And Zhuang also followed up and said: "The slave family doesn't dare to do the murder of their husband, Zhuang Qiang was indeed killed by Ye Dayou!" ”
However, not many villagers believed what they said. Because they were caught in public for adultery, their suspicion is naturally much greater than that of Ye Dayou. However, the village is also a little selfish, and he doesn't want a murderer in the village, so he hesitates a little: "What you said is true? ”
The two were about to say goodbye, but a voice took the lead: "Mrs. Qiao, will you still believe them at this time?" ”
The two of them turned their heads to look, and their hearts suddenly sank. Because this person is the person from the government who came to the village to visit during the day, it was Lu Zhen who spoke.
Lu Jin's gaze kept sweeping over the two men and women, and he saw that their hearts were feeling weak, and they were about to retreat before saying, "If what I expected is true, the events of the day are like this-
"Because Zhuang Qiang mentioned that he would stay at a friend's house when he left home to go to Suzhou City, you hung a lantern in the courtyard as before, and your lover, that is, Qiao Lao Liu, brought it over. This is what Ye Dayou heard when he heard the courtyard door being opened in his house that day.
"But to your surprise, just as you were doing that foolish thing in the room, Zhuang Qiang suddenly came back, just in time to break your adultery. So, in a hurry, Qiao Lao Liu killed Zhuang Qiang. Afterwards, you were worried that the matter would be revealed, so you quickly thought of the one named Ye Dayou in the front yard, and felt that he was a very suitable substitute for the dead. Therefore, they carried the body to the front yard and left the murder knife outside his door, in order to blame him for the crime. ”
After listening to Lu Jin's inference and analysis, the villagers nodded unconsciously, this statement is indeed reasonable. And Qiao Lao Liu and Zhuang each showed a look of surprise. This guy is so terrible, as if he was watching from the sidelines, he actually told all the practices of the two of them.
But Qiao Lao Liu still refused to give in, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Everything you said is just inference." Although I do have an affair with her, I will never kill someone for it. ”
"Really? Then you dare to show your hand so that everyone can see it. Lu Zhen smiled coldly and asked.
"Yes...... Why don't you dare? Qiao Lao Liu didn't know what Lu Zhen wanted to do, although he was worried, but in this case, he could only bite the bullet.
Soon, under the light of torches and lanterns, Qiao Lao Liu's hands were completely exposed to the gaze of everyone. Many people watched it for a while, but they couldn't see the reason, could it be that his hand could still admit that he couldn't kill someone?
And Lu Jin, after staring at those hands, showed a determined smile. Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiao Lao Liu's right hand, brought it to the torch and said, "Everyone, please see, there is a wound on his tiger's mouth that has not long healed. ”
"What is this?" Everyone looked at Lu Jin with puzzled expressions, there were always some stumbles and injuries in farm work, and the multiple wounds at the tiger's mouth were indeed not a problem.
Seeing this, Lu Zhen gave Zhao Yi a look, and the latter immediately took out the murder weapon from his arms: "Everyone, please see, this is the murder weapon that was found and thrown outside the door of Ye Dayou's room that day." ”
Seeing that everyone was still at a loss, Lu Zhen had no choice but to explain again that the knife might hurt the murderer's mouth. Only then did he come to the conclusion: "Ye Dayou's hand does not have such a wound." And he Qiao Lao Liu's hand happened to have such a wound. Let's ask, how can there be such a thing in the world, the murderer was not injured by the murder weapon, but he is an innocent person with such a wound? ”
As soon as this statement came out, it was ironclad evidence. The villagers could no longer argue for Qiao Lao Liu, and many people even showed disdain for him.
As for Qiao Lao Liu, his face was as white as paper at this time, his body shook for a while, and he almost couldn't even stand on his feet. At this point, he could no longer excuse himself.
And the Zhuang family next to him was even more straightforward, so he simply weakened and fainted on the spot.
This reaction, needless to say, has convinced everyone that the truth is what Lu Zhen said. That Zhuang Qiang was indeed murdered by this man and woman!
