"Little ...... The little one was walking around the town to see if there was any work, so ...... So it's late to go back. The young man was stunned when he heard this, his face became a little pale, and then he hurriedly explained.

"Okay, tell me about the situation of looking for work that day, where you went and met someone." The corners of Li Hongyu's mouth suddenly flashed with a sneer of disdain, and he naturally saw that the young man was lying, so he said coldly, "It's only been three or four months, you won't forget it so quickly." ”

"Solution...... Master Xie Yuan, it is true that he is small...... I really can't remember. The young man couldn't help but reach out and wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, how can he make up the following lies in a short period of time?

"Ben Xie Yuan has already given you a chance, since you are stubborn, then just wait to be severely punished by the magistrate!"

Li Hongyu's face sank when he heard this, and he commanded in a deep voice to the cell boss on the side, "Take him back, take care of him, don't let him be wronged, then the magistrate will personally interrogate him in the public court, Ben Xie Yuan wants to see who will believe his inferior lies in the public court." ”

"Is his family also in jail?" As he spoke, Li Hongyu remembered something.

"Hui Xie Yuan, all of them are in custody." The old man who was standing there hurriedly bowed and replied.

"That's good, Ben Xie Yuan will hand them over to you, there must be some people among them who know something, and you have to pry their mouths open no matter what." Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, and asked coldly.

"Master Xie Yuan, don't worry, be careful and will not disappoint your hopes." The cell boss replied with a smile on his face that torture was a piece of cake for him.

As he spoke, the cell boss waved his hand, and the two jailers stepped forward and picked up the pale young man and walked out.

"Master Xie Yuan, Master Xie Yuan, villain recruitment, villain recruitment, villain recruitment, the villain was invited by Meng Shi to go to his melon field to drink that night, but he was so drunk that he didn't wake up until noon the next day."

After not walking a few steps, the frightened young man suddenly broke free from the two jailers beside him, turned around and walked back and knelt in front of Li Hongyu with a plop, kowtowing and saying:

"The villain didn't take this matter to heart at first, and then Meng Shi found the villain and said that the county government would take people to blame in order to solve the case, and it was very likely that they would trouble the florist they had worked in the Zhang family."

He said that in order to prevent the villain from being implicated, the villain denied that he had been to him, and because it was noon when the villain arrived and left, no one saw the villain in the field, so the villain was afraid and agreed to him.

The more the young man spoke, the more excited he became, and finally cried with his head to the ground, "Master Xie Yuan is aware that the villain just went to drink, and it really has nothing to do with the case, and he is not Meng Shi's comrade." ”

"Where do you get the money to buy wine?" Li Hongyu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xin on the side when he heard this, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then he asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the old man, it was the villain who was given the money by Meng Shi, he wanted to invite the villain to drink, and let the villain go to the melon field to find him after buying wine and food." The young man raised his head when he heard this, and replied one by one.

"Since you went to the melon field at noon, why did you stay there for a day?" Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, where did the young man from a poor family have the money to buy wine and food, so the money must have been given by Meng Shi.

"The villain drank so much that he didn't wake up until noon the next day." The young man smiled bitterly and replied helplessly, knowing that he would not drink so much at noon that day.

"Drunk for a day!" Zhao Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, this is a bit too unreasonable, usually if you get drunk at noon, you will wake up at night, and if you don't get worse, you will wake up the next morning, how can you sleep until noon.

"Do you drink a lot?" Li Hongyu asked quietly, it seems that this young man was calculated by Meng Shi.

"It's not much." Hearing this, the young man shook his head, thought about it for a while, and said, "I have a pound of alcohol, and I drank at most five taels at that time, and I don't know why I was so drunk." ”

"If you're drunk for a day, don't you think there's something wrong with the wine?" Li Hongyu saw that the young man looked puzzled, so he opened his mouth to remind.

"Master Xie Yuan, do you mean that Meng Shi moved his hands and feet in the wine?" The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with some astonishment, he trusted Meng Shi too much, so much so that he had never thought about it, and now that he thought about it, it was really possible, otherwise he would have been drunk for no reason.

"Yes or no, you must already know it in your heart." Li Hongyu did not answer the young man's question, and said expressionlessly, "At this point, if you want not to be implicated in the case, then tell the story honestly and let as many people as possible testify to you." ”

"The villain understands that he must confess truthfully." The young man nodded his head again and again when he heard this, and told the story of the incident one by one, and the clerk at the desk next to him recorded his confession in an orderly manner.

In the back hall of the county government, Yang He frowned and looked at the young man's confession, judging from the current situation, this young man was deceived by Meng Shi, which invisibly achieved the evidence of Meng Shi's alibi.

The reason is very simple, because of the hot weather in the countryside in June and July, farmers usually take advantage of the cool early morning to work in the fields, and at this time the city gate of Qingyuan County has not yet opened, so no one will suspect Meng Shi, and think that the person who snores in the grass shed is him.

When the weather gets hot in the morning, the farmers in the fields will go home to rest, and then Meng Shi can go back to the melon fields without realizing it.

"From this point of view, this Meng Shi is the murderer, and this official will interrogate him, and he will definitely be made to bow down and confess." After reading the confession in his hand, Yang He looked up at Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin who were sitting in the chairs opposite, and he didn't believe that Meng Shi could survive the torture in the prison.

"Lord Zhixian, Meng Shi has a more extreme temperament, I'm afraid the punishment will not be able to convince him." Li Hongyu knew that Yang He wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so he pondered for a while and said solemnly, "This case is very important, if you can't make Meng Shi confess honestly, I'm afraid there will be trouble." ”

"Li Jieyuan, what can you do?"

Yang He couldn't help but nodded, frowning and looking at Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu was right, although torture to extract a confession could make Meng Shi confess, the Zhang family would definitely not be satisfied, once the case was filed, it would be troublesome, God knows if Meng Shi would retract his confession at that time.

"My lord, the student has already thought of a way to deal with him, and I hope the adult will agree." Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, then stepped forward and leaned over and whispered in Yang He's ear.

"Okay, just do as you say, this official doesn't believe that Meng Shi can escape this catastrophe!" After listening to Li Hongyu's idea, Yang He's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said with a sneer.

He now hates Meng Shi very much, and he has created such a big case that has caused him to bear huge psychological pressure, if it weren't for the help of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, this guy would have been at large, which means that he has been left with endless troubles.

Therefore, Yang He must make Meng Shi confess his guilt this time.

Two days later, in the morning, a large number of people gathered outside the gate of the county government prison in Qingyuan County, and they gathered there in groups of three or five to talk about something in a low voice.

With a creak, the door slowly opened, which made the scene quiet for a moment, and several gardeners who were imprisoned inside were brought out by the jailers under the curious gaze of everyone, which made the family members waiting outside greet them with concern and greet the gardeners.

With the arrival of Li Hongyu and Yang He's five-day appointment, these arrested florists were released, and the reason was simple, because Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin did not find strong evidence of the murder of the five florists.

"It's weird, didn't you say that some of them were murderers? Two days ago, there was a big fanfare, how did you let people go now? ”

"Didn't you listen to the people in the yamen, Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan didn't find evidence, and the two of them had to leave Qingyuan County to enter Beijing to take the exam, so they had to let them go."

"It's not easy to find evidence, as long as you give them the torture instruments in the torture room, you can have whatever evidence you want at that time."

"Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan are different, the two of them are newcomers, they must have to lose face, how can they fall into the notoriety of being beaten into tricks, and there is no way to explain to the Zhang family if they say this."

"I heard that Li Xie Yuan did not use a big punishment when he investigated the bloody case of Wuchang Mingyue Pavilion, it seems that he is different from those officials and masters in the yamen who serve with great punishment at every turn."

"Although Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan let them go, the county master will definitely not let them go, and they will definitely be arrested again after Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan leave."

"I think that's the case, the county magistrate is now troubled by this case."

……

With the appearance of those florists, there was a sudden sound of gossip in the crowd watching the excitement at the scene, and after the previous toss of the county officials, everyone knew that some of the gardeners were suspected of murder.

"Who among you is the murderer, why are you framing my young master!"

Just when the gardeners and their families were greeting in front of the prison, a group of big men who looked like family members squeezed through the crowd and rushed over, and a big man in the lead pointed at the gardeners and shouted loudly.

As he spoke, the people who followed the big man rushed towards the gardeners with a fierce look, and the officers who were in charge of order at the gate immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"I warn you, they are all important people involved in Miss Zhang's murder case, if you dare to touch them, even the Shen family will not be able to protect you." An officer who looked like a leader said to the leader with a blank face.

Hearing this, the surrounding people suddenly realized, no wonder these big men had bad intentions towards those gardeners, and it turned out to be from the Shen family for a long time, which is not surprising, and now Shen Shaoqiang is still in prison.

"Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, aren't you afraid of retribution if you do this? God will never let you go, and Miss Zhang will definitely sue you when she arrives at the Yama Palace! The leader's face changed a few times, and he pointed at the gardeners and reprimanded them angrily, and then led his men away unwillingly.

This made Meng Shi's face change slightly, it seemed that it was not easy for him to get out of the case, although they were free now, Yang He and the Shen family would definitely not let them go.

As a result of this episode, the gardeners hurried away, accompanied by their relatives, leaving only the lively people talking to each other.
