Chapter 189: The Dust Has Settled
Early the next morning, the officers of the county government of Qingyuan County ran all over the city carrying a gong and told the people in the city that Yang He would hold a court at the county office at three o'clock this morning to try the case of Miss Zhang's murder.
When the people heard the news, they immediately boiled, and now the case of Miss Zhang's murder is the top case in Qingyuan County and even Taiyuan Prefecture, and the last time Yang He opened a court to try this case was two months ago.
Therefore, the news that the case of Miss Zhang's murder was going to be retried by Yang He made the county seat of Qingyuan County empty, and the black pressure outside the county office was full of people watching the excitement, and they gathered in groups to talk about how Yang He would decide the case today.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin did not go to the county office, but stayed in the Zhao family's courtyard in the county seat and leisurely played Go, the mission of the two has ended, so naturally they will not run to join in the excitement, now is the time for Yang He to be in the limelight.
Besides, the two of them already knew the outcome of the case, so they naturally had no interest in going to the county government again, if they hadn't waited for Yang He's resignation after the case, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin would have left long ago.
"Young Master, Shanxi Township tried to see Kui Lin Liang, and now I am waiting in the living room of the front yard." Just when Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were fighting the chessboard, a subordinate suddenly walked over with a greeting post, bowed down and handed it to Zhao Xin.
"Lin Liang?"
Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard this, she didn't have anything to do with Shanxi Shilin, but since Lin Liang came to the door, of course she had to go to greet her, otherwise it would be a loss of etiquette, so after looking through the post, she smiled at Li Hongyu and said, "Brother Li, this Lin Liang must have come to Beijing for the matter of entering Beijing, since he wants to make friends with us, then we can just expand our contacts." ”
"That's great!" Li Hongyu smiled and nodded, since Lin Liang is the leader of the township examination in Shanxi, it is very likely that he will be named in the gold list in the Beijing exam next year, and making friends with this person is just right to expand the interpersonal network.
"Zhao Yayuan, Li Jieyuan!"
In the living room in the front yard, a young man dressed in blue sat there sipping tea, and when he saw Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu entering the door one after the other, he hurriedly put down the teacup and got up to greet him, smiling and greeting him, he was naturally Lin Liang.
It stands to reason that Lin Liang should greet Li Hongyu first, after all, Li Hongyu is Xie Yuan should be ranked in front of Zhao Xin.
But then again, he came this time in the name of visiting Zhao Xin, and this is the Zhao family, so of course Li Hongyu can't take the lead, so Lin Liang naturally wants to put Zhao Xin's name first.
As for how he recognized Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, the reason is very simple, first of all, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are very young, secondly, Zhao Xin is extremely handsome, and secondly, the two are inseparable.
Therefore, Lin Liang easily knew who the person who came in, and the person at the front was naturally Zhao Xin, after all, Zhao Xin was the master, so he would never make a mistake about the order of the two.
"Lin Jingkui." Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin smiled and returned the salute when they heard this, and sat on the seat opposite Lin Liang.
"Zhao Yayuan and Li Jieyuan wanted to come and see them early in the morning, but the two brothers were busy assisting Yang Zhixian in investigating the case, so they didn't dare to come to disturb him." Waiting for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin to sit down, Lin Liang said with a smile.
"Brother Lin has won the award, Li Jieyuan and I just helped Yang Zhixian a little bit, although I read some files, but I am also idle on weekdays." Zhao Xin smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Lin Liang disapprovingly.
"Zhao Yayuan and Li Jieyuan, I heard that the two of them interrogated Meng Shi at night in the county government bureau last night, so that he truthfully confessed to the crime, which is really clever."
Seeing that Zhao Xin looked very humble, Lin Liangxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Zhao Xin was a very easy person to get along with, so he smiled and stretched out his thumb, he already knew about the interrogation of Meng Shi last night, no matter how he said that he was also the leader of the Shanxi Township Test, so he naturally had his own channels to get news.
To be honest, Lin Liang and others admired Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's plan to capture and indulge, and they never imagined that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin would use a drama troupe to settle Meng Shi.
Maybe others don't know, but Lin Liang knows that although it seems that Meng Shi easily fell for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's design, in fact, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin spent a lot of energy looking for evidence in private, otherwise how could Meng Shi be so easily fooled?
Lin Liang knew that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had basically figured out the process of Meng Shi's murder in advance, which made Meng Shi have no room for resistance, otherwise he would not have mobilized the crowd to interrogate Meng Shi in such a big formation, and once he made a mistake, he would lose face.
"That's the result of the county magistrate's strategy, and Li Jieyuan and I just followed it." Zhao Xin smiled at Lin Liang's compliment, and then asked with a smile, "I don't know why Lin Jingkui came here today?" ”
"That's the case, now that the time for the exam is getting closer and closer, it's a long way to go to the capital, and I'll make an appointment with a few people in the same year to go to Beijing to catch the exam."
Lin Liang smiled when he heard this, and after a deep sigh, he said, "I don't know when Zhao Yayuan and Li Xie Yuan will set off, if the time is approaching, it is better for everyone to pass together, and there will be a good response on the road at that time." ”
"We're planning to leave tomorrow, so if we can all travel together, we can feel much more at ease on the way." Zhao Xin had already guessed Lin Liang's intention, so he said with a smile.
"We also plan to leave in these two days, so we can go together." Lin Liang immediately laughed, what he was waiting for was Zhao Xin's words.
"That's good for him." Zhao Xin looked at Li Hongyu with a smile, "Li Jieyuan, we will have someone to talk to on the road at that time, otherwise we won't be bored to death." ”
"Brother Lin, since everyone is going to Beijing to take the exam together, it is better to do the east at noon, please go to the restaurant to get together." Li Hongyu smiled slightly and said to Lin Liang.
"Li Jieyuan, the visitor is a guest, you came from afar, naturally we are the east, and it can be regarded as a celebration of you and Zhao Yayuan for handling Zhang's case." Hearing this, Lin Liang hurriedly waved his hand, looked at Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and said with a smile, "I have already booked a private room in the restaurant, and I hope that Li Xie Yuan and Zhao Yayuan can appreciate their faces." ”
"Lin Jingkui, if you want to say that you appreciate your face or something, you will see the outside, since you are destined to meet, you will be friends in the future." Li Hongyu smiled, and then looked at Zhao Xin, "Brother Zhao, let's not let everyone wait outside, it's better to follow Lin Jingkui over to meet everyone now." ”
"That's what I mean." Zhao Xin bowed slightly when he heard this, then got up and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Liang, "Lin Jingkui, please." ”
"Zhao Yayuan, Li Jingkui, please." Lin Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, and the three of them left with a smile.
At noon, in a private room on the second floor of a luxury restaurant in the county seat, Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin, Lin Liang and others who went to Beijing to take the examination were staggered, chatting and laughing.
If it weren't for waiting for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin to get out of the case of Miss Zhang's murder and get acquainted with them, Lin Liang would have led those movers to the capital a long time ago, so as not to go around to Qingyuan County, in his opinion, such a good opportunity must be seized.
As Xie Yuan and Yayuan of the Huguang Township Examination, Lin Liang thinks that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin will definitely be named on the gold list, and he, the Shanxi Township Examination, will also be admitted to the Jinshi, so that everyone will have a response in the officialdom in the future.
Just when Li Hongyu and others were drinking in the restaurant, the county government court trial, which had been busy all morning, finally ended, and Meng Shi did not quibble in front of the conclusive evidence, but happily admitted the murder.
At the same time, the golden hairpin was also found from Meng Shi's master gardener's house, and after being identified by Master Zhang, it could be determined that it was the one lost at the scene of the murder.
Because of the rape and murder of Miss Zhang, Yang He sentenced Meng Shi to be hanged and hanged after the approval of the Criminal Department next year.
Shen Shaoqiang, who had been in prison for more than 100 days, finally regained his freedom, and couldn't help but cry after learning Yang He's acquittal, not only sad for the death of Miss Zhang, but also sad and indignant for his innocence being implicated.
The descendants of the Shen family had already prepared firecrackers, and when Shen Shaoqiang walked out of the gate of the county government accompanied by Shen Yunshan and others, the subordinates lit the firecrackers and made a crackling sound to celebrate.
Unlike the Shen family, the people of the Zhang family left quickly after the trial, Master Zhang's face was gloomy and terrifying, in Miss Zhang's case, the Zhang family can be said to have lost face, and the next thing he had to do was to bury Miss Zhang and let her be buried in peace.
Yang He specially commended the meritorious personnel in the case, and gave a lot of silver and two rewards, anyway, these money were donated by the Shen family and the Zhang family to handle the case, and they did not spend a penny from the Yamen of Qingyuan County.
For Shen Shaoqiang's ability to save the day this time, the Shen family is very grateful to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, they know very well that if Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had not found out the evidence of Meng Shi's murder, then Shen Shaoqiang would not have been able to get out of this case at all.
For this reason, the old man of the Shen family has written a letter to the old man Zhao, and he feels very admired for the tolerance of the Zhao family, which makes the old man Zhao feel quite proud in his heart, which means that the old man Shen took the lead in bowing his head to the old man Zhao.
It is worth mentioning that as the "culprit" of Miss Zhang's murder, Shen Shaoqiang sighed after knowing the reason why Meng Shi killed Miss Zhang, and made a decision to marry the dead Miss Zhang as his wife, so as to fulfill his promise to Miss Zhang, so that Miss Zhang would not become an ownerless lonely ghost in the future.
Although Shen Yunshan did not agree with Shen Shaoqiang in his heart, he did not object, after all, Shen Shaoqiang also had to pay a lot of responsibility for Miss Zhang's death, and the most important thing was that he thought about Shen Shaoqiang's heart.
Of course, after Shen Shaoqiang was released from prison, he personally came to the door to thank Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, if it weren't for the two of them, he wouldn't have been able to get rid of the charges on his body at all, so he was quite grateful to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.
