This is a life lawsuit, Wu De and Wu Qiao naturally have to scold Wu Guocai, but scolding can't solve the problem, how to solve it, the three of them are at a loss.
In the end, it was Wu De who spoke: "No matter what, you have to save my brother's life!" ”
Whether or not he can save Wu Guocai's life depends on whether Zheng Muye is willing to help, after all, he is the county commander, and with him coming forward, this matter will be done nine times out of ten. How to persuade Zheng Muye naturally fell on Wu Qiao.
Wu Qiao took Wu Guocai to beg Zheng Muye, Zheng Muye listened, and immediately scolded Wu Guocai to the point of blood. Tired of scolding, Zheng Muye snorted and panted, looking at Wu Guocai who was drooping his head and Wu Qiao who was crying, he knew that scolding was scolding, but one day husband and wife were hundred days, of course, Wu Guocai could not be allowed to subdue the law, no matter what, he had to find a substitute for the dead ghost, otherwise the Zhang family would not give up.
Zheng Muye asked Wu Guocai to stay at home for the past few days and not go anywhere, and he racked his brains to think of a way.
However, it was said that after Wang Cui'er woke up in the new house, she screamed loudly, and Zhang Fawang's parents and family members hurried to see that their son was dead and were overwhelmed with grief.
Early the next morning, Zhang Fawang's parents hurried to the yamen with their daughter-in-law to report to the official.
It stands to reason that Zheng Muye usually handed over such a case to Zhang Baoer to deal with, but this time he accepted it himself. Zheng Muye knew in his heart that Zhang Baoer was not a vegetarian, and if this case was handed over to Zhang Baoer, Wu Guocai's life would definitely not be saved. In order to avoid Zhang Baoer's involvement, Zheng Muye repeatedly told the officials to arrest the officials, and this matter must be hidden from Zhang Baoer.
After Zheng Muye ascended to the court, he looked at Wang Cuier carefully, and sure enough, he was a little beautiful, no wonder Wu Guocai was moved. immediately took the form of Zhang Fawang's father, and ordered the head catcher to go to Zhang's house for an autopsy.
The next morning, when an old woman was fetching water in the well, she saw a shoe hanging from the bucket, and it was stained with blood, she thought of the Zhang family's bloody case, maybe it was related to the shoe, and the grandmother sent the shoe to the Zhang family.
The catchers were struggling to find clues in Zhang's house, and when they saw someone sending shoes, they inquired about the calendar.
So, when the catchers came to the well, there were two of them, and they ordered them to be fished.
Soon, the other shoe was also fished up, and it was exactly one pair together, so I quickly took this pair of shoes back to the business.
Zheng Muye took a closer look at the shoes and found that the soles had the word "Zhou Ji" on them, and ordered him to quickly call all the shoe store shopkeepers surnamed Zhou in the city.
There are many shoe stores in the city, but there is only one shopkeeper surnamed Zhou, and after a while, Zhou Rong, the shopkeeper of Zhouji shoe store, came.
Zheng Muye pointed to the shoes and asked, "Zhou Rong, these shoes are made by your family?"
After Zhou Rong looked at it carefully, he replied, "My lord, these shoes are made by our store." ”
"And who do you remember who these shoes were sold to?"
Zhou Rong replied; "These shoes are very large, I only made one pair recently, and sold them to Liu Sheng in the city, and he still owes me two dollars of silver!"
When Zheng Muye heard this, he thought that this case was easy to handle, and immediately shouted: "Quickly arrest the murderer Liu Sheng."
The crowd hunted as fast as a wolf and a tiger, and after a while, Liu Sheng was pulled over.
Zheng Muye shouted: "Sinner Liu Sheng, quickly bring about the case of raping Wang Cuier and killing Zhang Fawang as soon as possible!" ”
Where is Liu Sheng willing to recruit this out of nothing, Zheng Muye is not polite, and Liu Sheng was tortured to death.
Liu Sheng thought to himself; Rather than being beaten to death like this, it is better to recruit it, so as not to suffer the flesh and skin, so he drew a charge.
Zheng Muye didn't have time to ask in detail, and he didn't ask Wang Cui'er to verify in person, so he only ordered the servant to Zhang's house and asked her to write a testimony to prove that Liu Sheng was the murderer.
Zheng Muye immediately put Liu Sheng on death row and reported the trial results of the case to the Jiangzhou Prefecture, and the case was closed when the official document approving the death penalty came down.
……
In the backyard of the Song Medical Hall, Zhang Baoer was laughing and talking with Wei Xianyun.
"Bao'er, what do you think about this?" Wei Xianyun asked lightly.
Zhang Baoer said with a smile: "Since I became a county lieutenant, Zheng Muye has never tried a case, and now he suddenly takes the initiative to try the case, and he is trying to hide it from me, there is no doubt that there must be something greasy in this." ”
Wei Xianyun's eyes lit up: "Then you see, can we bring down Zheng Muye through this matter?" ”
"It's hard to say right now!" Zhang Baoer took a sip of tea and said, "I'll check the inside story first, and then we'll make a decision!" ”
……
Zhang Baoer came to Zhang's house, comforted the second elder of the Zhang family, and went to the mourning hall to pay tribute to Zhang Fawang, and then Zhang Baoer proposed to meet Wang Cuier.
Wang Cuier knew that her husband-killer had been punished, and she felt a little relieved, and when she heard Zhang Bao'er say that she would go to the county government prison to identify the murderer, she couldn't help but hesitate a little in her heart.
"Let you identify it is to avenge your husband, if you catch the wrong person and let the real murderer escape the sanction, your husband will also die!"
Zhang Baoer's words made Wang Cuier make up her mind and follow Zhang Baoer to identify the murderer.
Zhang Bao'er took Wang Cui'er to the county jail, Wang Cui'er saw Liu Sheng who was locked in the cell, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Bao'er: "County Captain, the night murderer is not this person, that person is a beautiful young man, and this person is middle-aged, five big and three thick, with a beard all over his face, the adult is mistaken!"
Wang Cuier's resolute denial made Zhang Baoer feel at ease, and he asked again: "Can you really confirm that it is not this person?" ”
"It's true!" Wang Cui'er nodded.
After Zhang Baoer sent Wang Cuier home, Wang Cuier told her in-laws about her identification of the murderer, but she didn't expect them to be scolded: "Shameless slut, you steal people and don't even see what the parents look like, if my son wasn't for you, a mourning star, how could he be wronged!"
The Zhang couple scolded until midnight, Wang Cuier was also pampered at home since childhood, and was humiliated on the wedding night, and was scolded by her in-laws at this time.
……
In Yixiang Building, Zhang Baoer sat with Cheng Qingquan again.
Zhang Baoer told Cheng Qingquan about the case, and then said meaningfully: "Cheng Xiancheng, you are also clear about the case, this is the best opportunity to bring down Zheng Muye!" ”
"So what should I do?" Cheng Qingquan groaned.
Zhang Bao'er said bluntly: "Report Zheng Muye to Lord Assassin Shi, as long as Lord Assassin Shi personally retries the case, then Zheng Muye will die!" ”
