The night crow bullied Meng Tianchu just now that he was a master, thinking that this kind of literati generally would not be rude, and the master was not a county master, and he had no right to move the punishment, he didn't expect that Meng Tianchu was different from other criminal masters, not only got the special authorization of Cai Zhi County, but also was the Hangzhou foreman of Dongchang, who ate people and did not spit out bones, although Meng Tianchu has always opposed and hated torture to extract confessions, it does not mean that he can tolerate others being impolite or even threatening in front of him. After he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, where torture was legalized, he ordered the execution of the so-called local customs.

This night the crow Ping Suri is also a ruffian in the village, this kind of person knows best how a good man does not suffer the loss in front of him, after tasting this beating, he immediately softened, tried to open his swollen eyes, nodded like garlic, and the two swollen lips like large sausages wriggled and muttered: "Don't dare, villain... The villain didn't dare anymore. ”

"I can warn you, even if your neighbor Hai Laofu has a headache and brain fever, Master Ben thinks that you did it, and will take care of you! Therefore, I advise you to burn high incense every day and pray for a long life without illness and disaster! ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will never dare anymore!"

"Well, that's the question, when did you start drinking and eating? When did it end? ”

"When it was almost dark, we started eating, bragging while eating, until we dispersed at the third watch."

"You tell me clearly, I know what you've done, so I'll just ask once, if you still want to suffer, you can hide it, or deliberately make up lies."

"Don't dare, villain... The villain must be truthful. ”

"Well, I ask you. Did you or Huang Shihu grab the shoulders of the leper head four and shake them last night? Meng Tianchu's eyes were like electricity, staring at the night crow.

The night crow's body shook, and there was a look of horror in his eyes, he thought that what Meng Tianchu said just now was just to scare him and confess to him, but he didn't expect that Meng Tianchu really knew, and he knew it really very clearly. Of course, he didn't know that Meng Tianchu accurately deduced what had happened from the results of the autopsy.

Corpses don't lie, how corpses are hurt. What kind of traces will be left, and Meng Tianchu is based on these traces. How the reverse push-out damage is carried out, due to the accurate grasp of the traces. Of course, the inference is not far from ten.

The night crow's reaction was keenly captured by Meng Tianchu, and he was more sure of his speculation in his heart, and said coldly at the moment: "Did you hear my question clearly?" ”

"Listen... Heard clearly. The night crow's front teeth were all gone, his mouth was leaking, and the corners of his mouth were flowing with saliva mixed with blood, Meng Tianchu's accurate questioning completely knocked out the night crow's psychological defense, he thought that Meng Tianchu really knew everything. Asking yourself is nothing more than verifying a confession. In order to win a good attitude, he was able to give a lighter punishment. Hurriedly shuddered: "Yes... It's Huang Shihu..."

"You tell me what happened, I can warn you, I want to compare your confession with Huang Shihu's confession. If you find out that you are lying, you should know the consequences. ”

"Yellow... Was Huang Shihu caught? "Night Crow has already affirmed most of this answer, if it weren't for Huang Shihu being caught, this master would not have been able to know so accurately what happened last night.

"Now is the time for you to answer questions, not for you to ask." Meng Tianchu skillfully avoided this question.

The night crow nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, last night, I was drinking well, but this leper wanted to touch Boss Huang's moldy head, and Boss Huang was very unhappy..."

"What mold?"

The night crow hesitated, of course Meng Tianchu would not give him time to think about the importance of the stakes, and Leng Buding knocked heavily on his head: "Say it quickly!" Think what you think! Ready to make up a lie? ”

"Yes, yes! Don't dare..., the villain doesn't dare..."The night crow nodded and shook his head in a panic, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and said, "Okay, the three of us paid to buy Lin Ruofan, the daughter-in-law of Haizhu, and sold it to Qinglou to make a fortune after playing enough, this leper wants Boss Huang to give Lin Ruofan to him as his daughter-in-law, and he has no money to redeem her..."

Meng Tianchu chuckled in his heart, this matter involves Lin Ruofan? His heart sank: "What's the matter?" What bought Lin Ruofan? Isn't Lin Ruofan Haizhu's daughter-in-law? ”

Now that he had already started, the night crow continued to say: "That's the case, Haizhu is a good gambler, and he owes a lot of debts, mainly to the three of us, most of which are owed to Huang Lao Dadi. The three of us asked him for debts, and he couldn't find any money no matter how he beat him, and Boss Huang wanted to abolish him. In the end, he said that he would go back and sell his wife to Qinglou, and make money to pay us back. In fact, all this is a trap set by Boss Huang, just waiting for him to say this. Boss Huang has seen his wife before, and he likes it very much, so he made up his mind, Boss Huang, we tempted Haizhuzi to gamble, and when he lost, he lent him money, and Haizhuzi owed a lot of debt. After listening to Haizhuzi's words, Boss Huang immediately agreed, saying that he would use his wife to sleep for the three of us for a month, pay off half of the debt, and then sell it to Qinglou, and the money obtained will pay off the debt..."

Meng Tianchu was furious, and gave him a mouthful: "You *** are really a bunch of brutes!" ”

This slap Meng Tianchu exerted enough strength, and the night crow turned over one by one, the blood at the corner of his mouth flowed, mixed with blood, and two teeth were spit out, and there was also a trace of blood flowing out of his left ear, presumably the ear drum was injured. This slap made the night crow's head buzz, and the Venus in front of him scurled up on the ground and convulsed.

Meng Tianchu does not advocate violence, he was also angry just now, but after the fight, he calmed down a little, hugged his shoulders and waited for the night crow to calm down, and then asked: "You go on!" ”

The night crow spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the roar in his head was only slightly relieved at this moment, knowing that the master in front of him could not be provoked, he hurriedly continued: "Haizhuzi agreed, and the three of us called the deed of selling his wife. But the next day, he came to us again and said that his wife would rather die than obey, and asked us to delay for two days, and he slowly persuaded his wife. Boss Huang beat him up again, only giving him three days. Unexpectedly, the next day, Hai Zhuzi died in the pond. ”

Meng Tianchu's heart moved, how could it be so coincidental? Could it be that the death of the sea pillar is also questioned, and he did not find out? Meng Tianchu thought carefully about the on-site investigation of the sea pillar, but did not find anything wrong.

However, the surface examination of the four corpses of the leper did not find any clues. Instead, after the autopsy was performed, a very hidden whiplash-like damage was discovered, did the sea pillar also have a hidden injury, and he did not perform an autopsy on the sea pillar, so he did not find it?

I can't think of this kind of thing clearly, but I don't have time to solve it now, so I can only wait and talk about it, and solve the case of Leper No. 4 first.

Meng Tianchu then asked, "You go on, how did this leper offend your Huang boss?" ”

"Last night, the three of us had a drink at my house. We discussed what to do about it, and after discussing it, we decided to do it early tomorrow morning. After the coffin of Haizhu went up the mountain and was buried, we took the deed of selling his wife with Haizhuzi. Go directly to Hai Dashan and ask him to hand over his daughter-in-law to us. After saying this, we continued to drink, and everyone thought that we could sleep like a flower..."The fourth leper found that Meng Tianchu was blushing when he heard this, and seemed to be about to make a move again, so he quickly choked the conversation, and continued, "So the three of us are very happy." Got a little drunk. The leper said the fourth. He doesn't have a daughter-in-law, can you wait for us to sleep with Lin Ruofan for a month. Give Lin Ruofan to him as a daughter-in-law. ”

"You guys***..." Meng Tianchu was furious, and he was about to make a move with his fist, but. This time he was more rational, his fist was in the air, but he still restrained it in the end, and shouted angrily: "Go on!" ”

The night crow was already so frightened that he was holding his head and closing his eyes and waiting for a punch and kick, and when he heard Meng Tianchu say this, he knew that he had temporarily avoided a beating, and hurriedly continued: "Boss Huang said that as long as the leper can afford the money, it will be the same if he sells it to Qinglou and sells it to him, but how can the leper have so much money, and the leper will drink too much and be bold, presumably he also wants the beautiful Lin Ruofan to be his daughter-in-law, first said that as long as Boss Huang agrees to give him Haizhuzi's daughter-in-law after a month, the money for redemption will be slowly repaid, He also promised that Boss Huang could sleep with this daughter-in-law three times a month in the future, but seeing that Boss Huang disagreed, the leper was dizzy, and even threatened Boss Huang that if he didn't agree, he would sue Boss Huang for all the bad things he had done to the yamen. ”

Meng Tianchu laughed angrily: "You brutes, it's best if you die in the nest!" ”

The night crow chirped continuously, peeked at Meng Tianchu's blue face, and hurriedly continued: "Boss Huang He has been threatened like this, he is very angry, staring at the leper and asking him to say it again. The leper head four was either filled with too much yellow soup, or he was fascinated by the daughter-in-law of Haizhuzi, and Wang Ba actually ate the scales - iron-hearted, and said again with a big tongue, Boss Huang also looked at his brother's face, and didn't want to go too far, feiteng hit his hand. So I didn't beat him, just grabbed him by the shoulder and shook him around, asking him if he was blind and didn't know who he was talking to. After this mess, the leper fell to the ground motionless, and we both thought he was scared and pretended to be dead, and left him alone, and continued to drink. After a while, he was still motionless, and I went to call him up, only to find that he was out of breath. ”

"Have you ever shaken the leper four?"

"Nope! Really, I didn't lie, the leper head four was not aimed at me at that time, because the main money owed by the sea pillar was Huang Shihu, and I had very few people with the leper head four, and it didn't have much impact on me whether Lin Ruofan was sold to Qinglou or given to the leper head four as a daughter-in-law, so I wouldn't be angry because of this, besides, I and the leper head four are from the same village, and we grew up together since childhood, we only met Huang Shihu two years ago, and my relationship with the leper head four is much deeper, and I won't shake him to this death..."

"Dead shaking? Are you saying that Huang Shihu is desperately shaking the leper head four? ”

"Yes, Huang Shihu is tall and strong like a buffalo, and he has a lot of strength, usually pinching us, the bones will crack, as if he is about to be broken."

Meng Tianchu frowned, a little worried in his heart about whether the brothers sent to the ground would be able to deal with this big man. Then he asked, "Then you said, how did you throw the corpse later?" ”

"After I found out that the leper head four died, Huang Shihu was also a little nervous. The two of us discussed it and decided to throw him into the pond where the sea pillar had died, and when the body was found, we spread the word that the pond was haunted and had killed the leper. Then the two of us wrapped the body in a sheet, carried it by Huang Shihu, secretly carried it to the pond while it was dark, untied the sheet, threw the body into the pond, and then went back separately. After the body was found by Aunt Liu this morning, I was > talking about the canon

Meng Tianchu ordered the night crow to be locked up, and asked the two catchers to take him into custody, and then took Murong Zhenxue and his own personal Dongchang guard Zhu Hao, as well as the head catcher Wang Yi, and asked the villagers of Lianwu Village to lead the way, and urgently rushed to the neighboring village to see the arrest of Huang Shihu.

Judging from what the night crow said, this Huang Shihu is estimated to be not easy to deal with, and I don't know if the sent catcher will suffer a loss.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw the villagers running out of the village. Meng Tianchu stopped a villager to identify himself and ask why. The villager hurriedly said: "Huang Shihu in the village has fought with the people who are fast and strong, and several people have been injured..."

Meng Tianchu and the others hurriedly rushed into the village, and saw two catchers holding a single knife in one hand and another catcher in the other, and they looked back nervously from time to time. The thigh of the one who was supported was dripping with blood, and it seemed that the injury was not light. When they saw Meng Tianchu and them, they all shouted happily.

Wang Yi hurriedly asked what was going on, and one of them scolded and scolded: "*** This Huang Shihu is really powerful, more than ten of our brothers surrounded his house and wanted to lock him, but he overturned several of them, and grabbed a knife and ran away, and then played hide and seek with us in the village, and injured several of our brothers." ”

Meng Tianchu asked, "Where is this Huang Shihu now?" ”

"We didn't know, but later, after several brothers were injured, everyone had to gather to protect each other, for fear that he would be injured by the lonely. So I don't know where he is. ”
