Chapter 148: Step by Step 6
Lewen felt that although He Hu, who had fought with the deceased a few days ago, was suspicious, the murderer was definitely not him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So he took the tiger back first, and then gathered all the blacksmiths in the county town to make the scabbard, and asked them to recognize who made the scabbard.
At this time, a blacksmith surnamed Zhang who was summoned recognized at a glance that this was the scabbard he made, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he knelt down in front of Le Wen and said, "County master, this scabbard is made by Xiaomin." ”
"Oh, since you made it, do you remember when this scabbard was sold to whom?"
Le Wen was afraid that if this scabbard was not made in Shanghai County, then it would be troublesome to investigate, but now that a blacksmith really recognized it, it would be easy to do.
"Hmm...... Xiao Min remembers this scabbard very clearly, because this scabbard was sold by Xiao Min to his neighbor Liu Fu half a year ago. ”
The blacksmith only hesitated a little, and then sold his neighbor.
It seems that Liu Fu, the neighbor of this blacksmith Zhang, is a major suspect.
So Lewen sent someone to escort the suspect Liu Fu to the court.
"Criminal, Liu Fu, do you know what crime you committed?"
Le Wen, who was sitting in the Taishi chair, patted the hall in shock, looked at the kneeling criminal Liu Fu and asked.
“…… The little people don't know. Liu Fu was slightly stunned, and then lay on the ground and pretended not to know, but the two eyeballs were rolling in their sockets, thinking about how to get by.
"Smack......
"Look at what this is, do you still want to quibble."
Le Wen threw the scabbard on the copywriting in front of Liu Fu, smiled coldly, and scolded sharply.
"Ah......h
Liu Fu, who had been lying on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, raised his eyes and saw that the face of the scabbard on the ground had changed, after he robbed at that time, he didn't want to kill anyone, but Li Erdan held him tightly, and he killed Li Erdan by mistake in a hurry.
After returning home, Liu Fu found that the scabbard was lost, but he couldn't remember where it had been lost. Unexpectedly, this became evidence that he would never recover.
"This scabbard is not for the small people, and the small people don't know how to use the sword at all."
But Liu Fu was unwilling to admit it, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, and he thought that there were more scabbards. Why do you say that this scabbard is his?
"Good...... It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and bring someone to witness the blacksmith into the court. ”
This kind of person who has a hint of possible luck, Lewen has seen it, and it seems that if he doesn't bring the witness, he won't give in.
Not for a while. The blacksmith came to the court, knelt on the ground, turned his head to look at his neighbor Liu Fu, and saw Liu Fu looking at him, as if he was going to kill him, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
At that time, he was just afraid that if he didn't honestly admit it, if he found out the truth, he would be placed in a cover-up crime, so he didn't dare to hide it, but he saw this neighbor Liu Fu for several years. Although Liu Fu was a murderer, he still felt guilty and a little sorry for his old neighbor Liu Fu.
"Blacksmith Zhang, what did you just say to this county, you can tell the criminal Liu Fu again, so that he can be convinced."
Lewen also saw the guilt in the eyes of Blacksmith Zhang when he saw his criminal Liu Fu, but since this Liu Fu had admitted it at that time, and so many people had heard it, this Blacksmith Zhang couldn't deny it even if he wanted to say it now.
"Yes...... County lord, this scabbard was sold by Xiaomin to Xiaomin's neighbor Liu Fu half a year ago. Blacksmith Zhang didn't dare to look at his neighbor Liu Fu anymore. Ashamed, he put the truth aside.
"No...... County master, although this scabbard is a villain, but this sword was lost a month ago, and the people are wronged......" Liu Fu glared fiercely at his old neighbor Liu Fu. And then still unwilling.
"Hmph...... You old boy, you still want to quibble, this was just found out of your house. ”
At this time, the official just handed Long Chao a long sword that was searched from a secret compartment of Liu Fu's house to Long Chao, and with a "bell ......", Long Chao threw the long sword in front of Liu Fu, and Liu Fu was so startled that he hurriedly dodged back.
Liu Fu looked at the long sword in front of him stupidly. After being silent for a long time, seeing that there was no chance of luck, he bowed his head and confessed.
It turned out that this Liu Fu had a bad heart because he was short of money recently and knew how to work hard, and wanted to rob in the middle of the night to relieve his shyness, but there were few people who went out in the middle of the night, and when he was about to give up and go home, he saw a drunkard who was a little drunk in a remote alley in Nancheng.
Liu Fu came out for two hours without gain, now is a good opportunity, if he lets it go, won't it be in vain, so he quietly went forward, saw the money bag tied to Li Erdan's waist, and snatched it.
But Li Erdan reacted at all, grabbed Liu Fu who was stretched out to his money bag, and held on to it, shouting that he wanted to arrest Liu Fu and go to the government.
Liu Fu took a sword to scare people, but he didn't expect this drunkard to have a lot of strength, and he refused to let go of him if he grabbed him, and said that he wanted to arrest him and go to the government, so he pulled out the long sword he was wearing at his waist in a panic, and stabbed Li Erdan to death with a "poof......" sound.
He didn't expect to stab Liu Fu to death in one fell swoop, and ran home in a panic, but when he got home, he found that the scabbard was missing, and his clothes were stained with blood, so he burned his clothes, but this sword cost a lot of silver to ask his neighbor Zhang Blacksmith to beat, and it was a pity to throw it away.
So he wanted to hide in the secret compartment of his house first, and then take it out when the matter passed, but he never expected that his neighbor Blacksmith Zhang would betray him, and what he didn't expect was that Le Wen would be able to use the scabbard to find out the person who made the scabbard......
Therefore, people can't have a fluke mentality, and if they have a fluke mentality, they will commit crimes, and this fluke mentality is also a pit dug for himself, and then he buries himself.
Not long after the case was solved, a young woman cried and beat the drum to cry out for grievances.
Lewen didn't expect that not long after he took office, he kept appearing his own strange and strange cases, but as the saying goes, being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.
When he came to the public hall and sat on the chair of the Taishi, Lewen ordered the official to bring in the person who beat the drum and complained.
I saw that the young woman who complained was very delicate and moving, with a duck egg face, skin as white as snow, a pair of peach blossom eyes, two willow eyebrows, and a pink cherry mouth.
"What grievances do the women in the hall have reported their surnames?" Lewen patted the stunned wood and asked.
