Zhong said impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you can't lie for him, don't talk nonsense here and waste time." ”

"Don't you want a convincing reason? Then please listen to me. I sent Aunt Yulan silver hairpin, because my child is sick, Aunt Yulan several times for my child to go up the mountain to pick leaves, give her money, she doesn't want it, you can go to ask my housekeeper and people, I don't see that she has a decent jewelry, so I asked someone to give her one, in fact, the silver hairpin is not worth much in a family like ours, it is too valuable, Yulan may not be willing to accept it. I originally wanted to ask the maid to send it, but then I felt rude, and I couldn't leave the child when I went to the child, so I thought of Chen. ”

"Phew! Then you don't let Chen go during the day? ”

Mei'er smiled slightly, and said: "You can see it in the broken temple at the entrance of the village at night, if it is during the day, let me knock on the door in a grand manner, and then send the silver hairpin to Aunt Yulan, wouldn't it be more reasonable to say what happened to them?" There are well-wishers who send food and clothing, and some sharp-tongued people are said to be immoral, that big man goes to the widow's house to send hairpins, uncle, do you think it is appropriate? ”

I really can't see that this Mei'er is still so powerful, and such words make her reasonable, Meng Tianchu can't help but admire.

Guan Zhong was really speechless, thought about it, and said, "Then why did you ask Yulan to go to the broken temple, and let Chen go alone?" ”

Mei'er said: "I said, I let Chen go." In advance and for the appointment, I only knew that Aunt Yulan went up the mountain to pick leaves, and there were children at home at night, so she would generally come back on the same day, so I asked Chen to wait outside the village. Since he was afraid that the people in the village would spread rumors and make trouble everywhere, he naturally wouldn't send a dozen people to watch and accompany him. ”

"Then you can also ask Magnolia to come to your house to get it?"

"Uncle Guan, do you think Yulan entered the house of Li Zhenghe and the patriarch, and there was nothing to say the next day? Once upon a time. She always asked Huzi to bring the grass. I've thought about it too. Let Huzi take the silver hairpin, but after all, it's still a child, if you don't pay attention to being conspicuous in front of people, it's not good, I originally had the heart to thank you, don't end up hurting Yulan, then the gain outweighs the loss. I do. Some people's imagination is very rich, as long as there is a place for men, they can come up with a lot of stories, just don't farm, tell stories. ”

Everyone was nervous for a while before laughing, but fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise Yulan's reputation would have been ruined by Guan Zhong's old mouth!

Guan Zhong pointed at Mei'er angrily, then looked at Li Zheng and the patriarch and said, "Mei'er is lying." She's protecting her man! ”

Someone in the crowd said, "When have you ever seen the eldest lady protect her man." ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Mei'er looked at Chen embarrassedly. The face was red.

Someone else said: "If Chen Ruo really did it, Miss didn't eat him alive." ”

Everyone laughed even louder.

Meng Tianchu naturally had Mei'er's idea to hit the ground, but now Yulan is also dead. There is no proof of death, that Guan Zhong is just stupid and stupid, and Mei Er was speechless in a few words, and the people next to him were a bunch of words, Guan Zhong was naturally about to be angry to death, he must be thinking, how could he not catch the rape and catch the double at that time, and now one is dead, and the other is not admitted, and he can't come up with evidence, so he can't help others.

Guan Zhong said: "You are not afraid that people will poke your Ye Mei's backbone behind your back, saying that your man is eating outside, and you will wipe his mouth for him." ”

Mei Erwan smiled and said: "First, I know that he doesn't dare, he is afraid that his wife knows everyone, if it weren't for the fact to clarify this fact today, I wouldn't want to say this in front of people." Second, he is very good to me and the entire Ye family, there is no reason to risk it for a woman who is many years older than himself, no one knows the rights and wrongs of the widow in front of the door, no matter how stupid he is, he will not find a person who everyone pays attention to, according to Uncle Guan, it is to steal food, which is also unreasonable. What do you say, Uncle Guan? ”

Guan Zhong saw that there was no way to take Chen, so he stomped on it fiercely, picked up the basket and was about to leave.

Meng Tianchu saw that the show was here, and it was time for him to appear, so he stood up and said, "Guan Zhong, don't leave first." ”

When Guan Zhong saw that it was Meng Tianchu, his eyebrows trembled, and he said, "If I want to go, I can go, who can stop me?" After speaking, he ignored Meng Tianchu and walked straight out, and the two officials rushed forward and twisted Guan Zhong back.

Ye Jing wished that this evil spirit would leave quickly, his heart almost stopped beating just now, but who knew that Meng Tianchu pulled him back again, so he asked suspiciously: "Meng Ye, who are you?" Meng Tianchu smiled but did not answer.

As soon as Guan Zhong saw that the two officials had arrested him again, he immediately became angry and said loudly: "You think that I am afraid of you when you come to the Yamen, let me tell you, I have been in Yulan Village for more than 60 years, who dares to block my way to Guan Zhong." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled faintly, motioned for Chen to take his family to a shady place, and he went to Guan Zhong himself, and said, "I dare!" ”

"You... Why are you holding me back? ”

"I stopped you, naturally there is a reason for me to stop you, tell me, where have you been on the fifth day of the first month of this month?"

Guan Zhong turned his head sideways and said, "I can't remember." ”

Meng Tianchu walked behind Guan Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Then I'll help you remember, that day, the whole village went to Lizheng's house to drink Xue'er's birthday wine, and there were no people in the village, we checked them one by one, and there were witnesses to testify for them, so you didn't go to Lizheng's house that day, where did you go?" ”

"I slept at home that day, and I was alone in my house, who do you let testify for me!"

Meng Tianchu smiled faintly again, walked to Guan Zhong's side, and said, "Someone testifies for you!" ”

Guan Zhong said: "Who? ”

"Magnolia!"

When Guan Zhong heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately regained his composure.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"It happened to be the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and you stared at Yulan for so long, and you just said that Yulan and Chen will have a tryst on the fifth and fifteenth days of everyone's first lunar month, so you naturally don't like any banquets. You won't let go of this opportunity to peep, and you know that the whole village went to Lizheng's house that day, so according to your reasoning, they shouldn't let go of this good opportunity, and they will definitely come out for a private meeting, right? ”

Guan Zhong snorted, but did not speak.

Meng Tianchu

said: "So you went on time, probably Yulan also went." It's a pity Chen, right? ”

Guan Zhongdi's face gradually turned pale. His lips trembled, and his head hung down.

"This is just my speculation, I thought that Yulan was dead, as the so-called death has no proof, Yulan may not have waited for the person she wanted to see that day, so she was ready to leave, but at that moment you Guan Zhong had murderous intentions. I'm not wrong. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, I didn't kill her, and I didn't go."

"We haven't found the first scene of the killing, Yulan's house is not, you don't know that Wang Cai has poisoned the dog in revenge, and Yulan was still at home at the time and didn't go out, if you know that Yulan's dog is dead. The first scene of the murder was made. Now I think that ruined temple should be where you killed Magnolia. ”

The audience was in an uproar, and today's play is really exciting. Everyone's eyeballs almost fell off several times, how could Guan Zhong become a murderer again.

Guan Zhong didn't speak.

Meng Tianchu looked at Guan Zhongdi's fish basket and picked it up, Guan Zhong hurriedly grabbed it, and said, "What are you doing with my fish basket?" ”

Meng Tianchu said while looking at it: "You are really fine in weaving fish baskets?" ”

Someone in the crowd said: "Uncle Guan used to be a craftsman, of course his skills are very good!" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "I can also see that when you came in with this fish basket just now, I was interested in this fish basket." Compare a few more from your house later, and the answer may come out. ”

As soon as Guan Zhong heard the fish basket from his house, he immediately said: "No one is allowed to go to my house, otherwise I will fight with anyone!" ”

As he was talking, he saw Wang Yi and Murong Yuxue walking in with a few servants carrying several fish baskets of different sizes and a cloth bag in their hands.

Murong Xue said: "I think I can't help but enter this ancestral hall now, because what I found in Guan Zhong's house was not only these fish baskets of different sizes, but also other discoveries. In addition, we went to the broken temple, but we didn't find any blood stains and things related to the case, so we focused on Guan Zhong's house, and sure enough, we gained a lot, and found a lot of worries, as long as we took it back for an examination, we knew if it had anything to do with Yulan's death. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded approvingly, after all, he had been taking Murong Yuxue out of the scene, and he could completely hand over some things that were not very complicated to Murong Yuxue.

Meng Tianchu said: "Then, it seems that there are still some discrepancies in what I analyzed before, your so-called fifth and fifteenth days of the first month, it seems that it is just a coincidence and accident, this fifth day of the first month, you didn't wait for Yulan in the broken temple, so as for how you killed her, you probably need to tell everyone yourself." In addition, I found that Guan Zhong has a habit of weaving these baskets of different sizes, before we compared the baskets containing the corpses of magnolia with the baskets selling the land in the market, Guan Zhong likes to reverse the baskets at the end and weave them twice, probably to be stronger, but it is your habit that just lets us know that the basket containing the corpse of magnolia is your Guan Zhong's home. ”

"That's... A lot of people in that village have learned how to weave baskets with me, and they're all just like me, so don't go to them. ”

"What you said is not wrong, but they were all drinking at Lizheng's house that day, and they were all at Lizheng's house when Yulan was killed, not in the broken temple. Moreover, the basket containing the body of Magnolia has your Guan Zhong's fingerprints, and now these baskets also have your Guan Zhong's fingerprints, as long as the fingerprints are the same, I see what you can say. ”

Guan Zhong said: "I don't understand what you say, but you don't have to scare me." Do you have the ability?*Dang flounder Huan Dream Yi Ou ぼ trouble ぞ莩隼 foundation!?br>

It's really a piece of old ginger, and he doesn't admit it when he dies.

Murong Xue said: "Of course there is evidence to convince you, we found a woman's clothes and skirt in your house, there were blood stains on it, he was buried under the walnut tree in the yard, probably because the weather was hot, he buried it not deeply, the smell of blood was too strong, and there were a lot of flies in that area, so we dug it up and found the clothes and skirts, Meng Ye, take a look." ”

After speaking, he took out a piece of clothes that had already stinked from a cloth bag, and Meng Tianchu unfolded it to see that it was a blue homespun cloth woman's dress, and there were indeed blood stains on it, and the skirt was the same.

Meng Tianchu said to Guan Zhong: "Guan Zhong, do you explain this like this? ”

"I don't know! Someone must have framed me. ”

Murong Yuxue took out a boning knife from the cloth bag and said: "This knife is placed in a basket, although there is no blood in the knife, but there is blood at the bottom of the basket, probably you know how to wash the knife, but you forgot to wash the basket." How do you explain this? ”

"I... I kill chickens. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, we will also check whether the blood in the basket is human blood or chicken blood." ”

Guan Zhong finally couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed to the ground, his face like ashes.

Someone is shouting: "Why did you kill Jia Yulan, people didn't provoke you, you are so vicious, no wonder your wife can't stand you and run away with others." ”

"Shut up!" As soon as Guan Zhong heard that his wife was talking about his wife, his muscles suddenly burst out, his face turned red, and his fists were clenched, Meng Tianchu saw that Murong Zhenxue was standing too close to Guan Zhong, so he hurriedly pulled her away.

"Yes! I killed Yulan's stinky mother-in-law, because she stole people, she didn't abide by women's morals, she should be killed! ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You said that she didn't abide by women's morals, so why didn't you catch them on the spot, and then take them back to the village and hand them over to the patriarch and Li Zheng to deal with, according to your statement, you and Yulan have not been a day or two, and you have found out many times, why don't you do this?" ”

Guan Zhong was asked for a moment, and said vaguely: "I... I..."

"I think it's probably all your own imagination, you accidentally saw Yulan go to a broken temple once, and later found that Chen also appeared near the broken temple, you guessed that they had an affair, and you wanted to catch the traitor, but you never saw them appear together in the broken temple, so you kept waiting, hoping that your guess was not wrong, but on the day Yulan died, you didn't catch them, did you?"
