Chapter 15: The End of the Headless Case

"You old guy, you are very impersonal, now that my verdict has been issued, you are messing around like this again, don't blame me for not being spared!" Shen Tingyu said.

Uncle Li Yantang was afraid and didn't dare to say any more, so he had to agree. Yu Tong on the side frowned slightly, glanced at Shen Tingyu, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Now that the case is clear, it's just that this Wu Yao's husband died tragically, which is pitiful, and today I will be a matchmaker for this Wu Yao."

When Wu Yao heard this, she was grateful, and bowed again and again.

"Come on, post a notice, if you are willing to marry the Wu family, you can come to the court to apply." Shen Tingyu said.

"Yes, sir."

The official was about to leave after speaking, but Wang Yi, who was standing on the side at this time, suddenly knelt down and said, "My lord, there is no need to post a notice, the little one is willing to marry the Wu family." ”

"Oh?" Then Shen Tingyu looked at Wu Yao who was standing next to him, only to see that Wu Yao was flushed with her cheeks and bowed her head silently.

Seeing this, the corners of Shen Tingyu's mouth showed a smile that was difficult for others to notice, and then asked Wu Yao: "Wu, Wang Yi is willing to marry you, are you willing to marry him?" ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Yao's head, which had been lowered, nodded a little.

Syllable! Shen Tingyu slapped the startled wood suddenly, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and everyone was shocked.

Then Shen Tingyu shouted: "Wu Yao! You fornicated with Wang Yi and killed Li Yan, can you be convicted? ”

"My lord, the people's women/grass people have been wronged!" Hearing Shen Tingyu's words, the two immediately knelt down in panic.

"Hmph, I already knew the truth of the matter, and the reason why I didn't explain it until now is because I have to verify it repeatedly, for fear of wronging a good person!" Shen Tingyu sneered, and then he looked at Wu Yao: "The dry well on the top of the South Mountain is so deep and dark that even the servants have to use a rope to find out that there is a dead person, and the dead don't even have a head, when you claimed the body, you didn't see the body, why do you say that it is your husband?" This is because you already knew that your husband had died in the well before that! ”

The two kneeling people in the hall trembled and did not dare to speak.

"Besides, Li Yan's corpse is dressed in tatters, where does he look like a businessman? Look at the situation of your family, how does it look like a person who can come up with a hundred taels of silver? You've been lying from the beginning! And a few days ago, I went to investigate, and I learned that you cried day and night for your husband's death, why were you so decisive in agreeing to marry Wang Yi today? Do you still refuse to admit that you murdered your husband, and that you have to be tortured to confess your guilt? Shen Tingyu continued to analyze.

Wu Yao was still silent, and then Shen Tingyu turned to Wang Yi again: "I already knew that Wu Yao was one of the murderers, and I waited until today to let you also throw yourself into the net!" The head that the officials couldn't find in every effort they had ever found, but you found it all at once? I guess you already know where the head is hidden, right? You're just greedy for the bounty and want to marry this woman sooner! ”

"My lord, the villain is wronged, I just accidentally found this head and wanted to come to receive the reward, and I saw that this woman was so beautiful in life, she became a widow at such a young age, and there was an adult as a matchmaker, so I thought about marrying this woman! My lord! Listening to Shen Tingyu's words, Wang Yi immediately shouted injustice.

"Oh? Since you stumbled upon the human head, and you have already said that you do not recognize the deceased, then why do you know that the head is the deceased? This means that you already know who the deceased is! And Wu Yao cried all over her dead husband before, why did she promise to marry you as soon as she saw you? I can't see it, Brother Wang, your charm is so extraordinary, it's just that everyone loves flowers and flowers! Shen Tingyu teased.

"It's... This, I, I ......" Wang Yi stammered, unable to say a word.

Shen Tingyu was not in a hurry, looking at Wu Yao who was trembling on the side.

"Someone! Instrument these two men! Shen Tingyu ordered the officials on the side.

Wu Yao looked at the various torture tools in front of him, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Wu Yao, do you know that the crime of murdering your husband is not so painful to die, you have to go through all kinds of torture, tsk, it's really better to die than to die! But you are only a woman, and you are powerless, and it is impossible to make such a wound, and you must know that the difference between the punishment of the principal offender and the accomplice is very great! As long as you confess to the main culprit, you can still be treated leniently. But if you're still obsessed, don't let it go! ”

Shen Tingyu used his usual trick at this time, that is, intimidation and agitation together, he has always been invincible, and this time will not be an exception.

"Adult ......"

Wu Yao was about to shake, and when she was about to speak, Wang Yi on the side couldn't hold it back, and preemptively said: "My lord, spare my life, this woman is the one who seduced me and instructed me to kill her husband, she is the mastermind, my lord!" Spare your life...... Adult ......"

"You're talking nonsense, it's clear that you told me to do that, don't spew blood! Your Excellency, you will do justice for me...... Adult ......"

The two passed the buck to each other and confessed to the facts of the crime, Shen Tingyu asked them to draw a detention, and asked the official to escort them down and wait for them to be released.

Then Shen Tingyu walked down the steps, bowed to the two adults, and said, "The case has been heard. ”

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Yu Tong applauded: "Okay! Good! Good! Reasonably, I really didn't misread you. ”

Then Yu Tong looked at the county magistrate standing behind him and asked, "How does the county magistrate think this case should be decided?" ”

This problem made the county order a little difficult, these two people deserved to commit a crime and naturally judged according to the law, but that Hu Han was almost unjustly killed by him, so he hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "This case should be the negligence of the lower officials, and the lower officials are guilty." ”

"Humph! I'll clean you up in a few days! Then Yu Tong turned to Shen Tingyu again and asked, "Do you have any clues about your father's case?" ”

"Back to my lord, I have collected a lot of clues, but I just need to close the net." Shen Tingyu replied.

"Okay, today is the sixth day of the sixth month of June, I will give you three days to sort out these clues, and when the time comes, when your father's case is closed, you will come here to settle the bribery case by yourself!"

"Thank you, sir. I have a list here, and I hope that your Excellency will arrest them, all of whom are related to my father's case. ”

Yu Tong took the list, glanced at it, and promised: "I understand, you can go." ”

"Tingyu retired." Shen Tingyu knew that he had violated the laws of the imperial dynasty, and he was already grateful for Lord Yu's arrangement, so he turned around without saying much.

After coming out of the county office, Shen Tingyu wandered alone in the market, everything here seemed to never change, and the bustling crowd and the sound of disturbance filled this huge market. Shen Tingyu was thinking about his situation, and was out of his mind, when he was suddenly hit by a person who came out of the restaurant, and the smell of wine came to his face. Shen Tingyu was not very angry in his heart, but had the idea of wanting to get drunk with him.

The man staggered to his feet, and when Shen Tingyu took a look, he found that it was Zhang Zhihong.

"Why did Brother Zhang come here to buy drunk?" This kind of Zhang Zhihong is far from what Shen Tingyu knows, the gentle and elegant Zhang Zhihong.

"Yes...... It's you, come, come and drink with me. ”

Zhang Zhihong pulled Shen Tingyu and walked towards the restaurant, but he was stopped by the guys in the restaurant, looking like he was going to do it again.

"Don't dare to come in if you don't have money, brothers, give me ......"

"Wait." As he spoke, Shen Tingyu took out two taels of silver and handed it to the guy, and when those guys saw that it was white silver, they hurriedly bowed their heads.

"Go and tell your shopkeeper, Shen Gongzi is here, bring the best wine and food, today I will not get drunk with Zhang Gongzi and not return!"

At the wine table, the two of them went back and forth, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, they were already a little drunk, but the wine was even stronger.

Wine is a thousand glasses of confidants, and they don't care about the bitterness in their hearts, they just want to get drunk.
