Chapter 80: Final Appeal to Doubtful Cases
Yuanhang had dinner with several beauties, during which Yuanhang peeked and pouted silently from Qiuqiu, looking unhappy. Wanyue and Qinghe are very happy, and frequently pick up vegetables for Yilan.
"Qinghe, I'll go to the house and pick an elf girl to send to Yilan." Said politely.
"Yes, sister." Qinghe smiled lightly and replied.
Yilan put down the dishes and chopsticks, nodded her head to Wanyu, and said, "Thank you sister for taking care of me, Yilan doesn't need a maid." ”
"My sister is polite." Wanyu chuckled lightly, and said to Yuanhang: "Xianggong, it's better to let Sister Yilan come to live with me in the East Courtyard, so that I can take care of it." ”
Yuanhang nodded and said, "You are in charge of everything in the Houfu. ”
Wanyu replied and said to Yilan: "The two of them are alone in the South Courtyard, and now that my sister is here, I also have a companion." ”
Yilan smiled but did not speak. After the dispersal, Wanyue and Yilan returned to the East Courtyard, Qinghe also went to help Yilan settle the room, but Liqiu returned to the South Courtyard alone. Yuan Hang saw that Liqiu had been displeased, so he went straight to the South Courtyard.
Liqiu returned to the room and sat on the stool in the outer hall with a pouting angrily. Chunyue cautiously asked, "Master, is it for the new Fourth Young Grandmother?" ”
"Who else?" Liqiu said angrily.
"Master, the slave maid sees that this young grandmother is also amiable, not like a barbaric master, where does your anger come from?" Chunyue walked behind Liqiu and slammed her shoulders and said.
Liqiu took Chunyue's hand, pulled her on the stool and sat down, and said resentfully: "My sisters have misunderstood me, I am not stingy and do not allow concubines." It's just that they are all rich ladies, only I was born in a poor family, and I was always worried about him. ”
"Master, you're too worried." Chunyue rushed forward and said: "Although the master's background is not as good as theirs, how can the adults hate the poor and love the rich." Look at the slave maid, the adults are even more pitiful to you. ”
"Oh, where did you see that?" Liqiu's eyes lit up and asked eagerly.
"The master didn't see the adults who had said it intentionally or unintentionally, and he liked the master's naughty nature and informality. And I think adults still come to the master's room more often. Chunyue raised a light eyebrow and winked playfully.
"Alas, now that he has a new love, how can he remember ......" Before Liqiu's words fell, Yuanhang shouted outside.
"Man, go and make me tea, I'm thirsty."
"Master, look, the adults are here, giggles." Chunyue hurriedly pushed Liqiu and got up to greet him.
Liqiu also hurriedly got up, straightened his hair with his hands, and straightened his face. Yuanhang stepped in, and Chunyue turned sideways to salute and ran to make tea. Liqiu stepped forward and gave a light salute and said, "Xianggong, why did you come here?" ”
"Oops, this isn't Yilan's yard, it's a mistake." Yuanhang pretended to be surprised and said.
Liqiu was suddenly furious, threw aside the gentleness that he had just pretended, glared at him, and said angrily: "If you go to find her, you will go, and you will come to provoke me to do something." With that, he stomped his foot and turned back to the inner room.
Chunyue served the tea, saw Liqiu turn around angrily, and hurriedly put the tea on the table and said, "Don't blame the adults, the third young grandmother ......"
Yuanhang smiled and waved his hand, and said to Chunyue: "I want to be angry with her, otherwise I won't be able to clean her up, and the more she does, the more obedient she will be." It's okay, you stand down. After speaking, he glanced at Chunyue.
Chunyue nodded at Yuanhang, covered her mouth and smiled and withdrew.
Yuanhang walked into the inner room and saw Liqiu sitting on the edge of the bed and angry. took off his robe and said, "Look at this little pout, it's just enough to hang the shirt." After speaking, he stretched his shirt to Liqiu's mouth.
Liqiu turned his head and reached out to block his shirt. Yuanhang smiled and hung up his clothes, and went to bed with slippers.
Liqiu pushed him and said, "It's not that you went to the wrong room, what are you going to do." ”
Yuanhang said without hurrying or slowing: "If you come, you will be safe, and you can't make mistakes again and again." ”
"If you're wrong, you'll change it, and it's not ......" Liqiu suddenly understood something when he said this, clenched his fists and hit Yuanhang, and said: "It's you who are wrong, and you're clearly talking about me." ”
Yuanhang laughed, grabbed Liqiu's fist with one hand and pulled it violently, and Liqiu fell into his arms. The hippie smiled and said: "Liqiu is the smartest, and Xianggong likes this." ”
Liqiu still struggled to say something, but Yuanhang lowered his head and blocked her small mouth with his mouth, and let her swing left and right without letting go. A moment later, Liqiu's face flushed, he disarmed and surrendered, and he was entrusted to be light in the arms of Yuanhang. After a while, Liqiu lay weakly in Yuanhang's arms, and his eyes were hazy and he was about to fall asleep. Yuanhang pushed her and said, "Yilan is new, you have to express it as a sister." Tomorrow I will dig out the box of jewels and pick up some good ones for her. ”
Liqiu was about to fall asleep, and when he heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, his eyes opened, and he said, "Don't think about it, you gave it to me, and no one will give it." With that, he turned his back to the voyage and ignored her.
Yuanhang asked in the back, "To give or not to give?" ”
"What if you don't give it?" He said without letting go of Qiu Death.
Yuanhang stretched out his hand from behind, grabbed the breast peak on the right side of Liqiu, and said while rubbing: "If you don't give it, you just need to do it again." After saying that, he turned over and was about to pounce.
"Ahh No. Li Qiu was shocked and pushed the voyage, but he didn't have any strength. was sailed away again, so he had to say: "Xianggong, don't want it...... Ah, I'll give, let go quickly, I'll give. ”
Yuanhang smiled and kissed Liqiu. I fell asleep with her in my arms.
On the second day, Yuanhang woke up, Liqiu had ordered Chunyue to prepare breakfast, and after eating in Liqiu's room, Yuanhang came to the front hall, ready to call Ah Jin to go to the city tower to take a look.
"My lord, my subordinates took Xie Housheng last night and brought him back to the yamen, please send it down." Seeing the voyage coming from afar, he stepped forward to pray.
"Oh? Held, where was held. Yuanhang looked up and glanced at nothing.
"He didn't go far, maybe he ran out of dry food, and after a few turns, he returned to Xie Chunlan's house and was picked up by the waiting officials." Shadowless bowed and replied.
"What an idiot." Yuanhang snorted coldly and said, "Ascend to the court, judge Housheng." ”
Yuanhang sat in the hall and looked at Xie Housheng below. The figure is not burly but it is passable, and it is stronger than himself. His face was slightly dark, he looked haggard, and he knelt in front of the hall with a crying face. Xie Laohan knelt aside, and the people stood outside the door to watch.
Yuanhang patted the startled Tang Mu and asked loudly, "Is the person under the hall Xie Housheng?" ”
The man replied weakly, "Exactly." ”
"The official of Zhang Wang's case has been verified to be true, and now you are arrested, can you plead guilty?" Yuanhang asked in a deep voice.
"Xiaomin pleads guilty, only ask the adults not to implicate their father." Xie Housheng bowed his head and replied.
Yuanhang sneered and said, "It's too late to regret it, you have already implicated him." How did you kill Zhang Wang's family, from the truth. ”
There was silence in the lobby for a while, Xie Housheng was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Two years ago, after I found out that Du Yue'e had an affair with Butcher Zhang, I secretly found Zhang Wang's family at home and told her about the two of them. I wanted her to go back and persuade Butcher Zhang, but she didn't think so, but laughed at me. In a fit of rage, I killed her. ”
After hearing this, Yuanhang asked: "The two of them have an affair, you should persuade Du Yue, how can you persuade Zhang Wang's family?" ”
Xie Housheng replied: "Du Yue'e didn't listen to me. ”
Yuanhang looked around and asked loudly, "Is Du Yue'e here?" ”
Nadu Yue'e and Butcher Zhang came to listen to the hall. In the crowd, he replied, "My lord, the folk girl is here." After saying that, he walked up to the hall and knelt down.
"Du Yue, let me ask you, has Xie Housheng ever advised you?" Yuanhang leaned over and looked down at Du Yue'e and asked.
"I never persuaded him, I always thought he was not in love." Du Yue'e bowed her head and replied.
Yuan Hangyi frowned and narrowed his eyes to look at Xie Housheng. He asked again: "Xie Housheng, this is the case, do you still want to hide anything?" Let me ask you again, why did you have murderous intentions against Zhang Wang's family, if you don't recruit from the truth, you will be punished. ”
That Xie Housheng's body trembled. He replied in a trembling voice: "My lord, I will recruit." After a pause, he said: "After knowing that they had an affair, I was extremely angry, but I was afraid of Butcher Zhang, so I started the idea of Zhang Wang's family. That day, after I lied that I was going out to trick Du Yue'e back to her parents' house, I deceived Zhang Wang's family to my home, and when I said this, Zhang Wang's family cried bitterly. I got up with evil intentions and wanted to do good things with Zhang Wang's family. But Zhang Wang resisted vigorously, so I took the knife at home to intimidate her. Who knew that instead of being afraid, she would also inform Butcher Zhang of this matter. I was afraid that Butcher Zhang would find trouble with me, so I was confused, so I stabbed her and killed her at home. Later, he was very frightened, so he cut off his head and buried it in the backyard, and buried his torso in the front yard. When my father came back in the afternoon, I told him about it and fled to my aunt's house and hid. Later, my father told people that I was missing. I thought that two years had passed, but I never thought that it would be revealed unintentionally. ”
After hearing this, Yuanhang looked at Xie Housheng with disdain, and said with a sneer: "I thought you were aggrieved and negligently hurt others. But I didn't know that you had such a dirty heart. Your wife has an affair with someone else, and she should report it to the official. But if they want to find a wife and do something that is unacceptable, if they do not, they will kill them. There is really no king's law, and birds and beasts are not as good as animals. ”
Xie Housheng was embarrassed by what he said, and even Xie Laohan lowered his head and saw people without a face.
"Come on, go to the backyard of the Xie family to dig up the head. Zhang butcher is available in? Yuanhang said straightly.
"The sinners are there." When Butcher Zhang heard that his wife had died unjustly, he had already cried into tears, and he knelt on the ground in front of the hall and wept bitterly.
"After the head is retrieved, Haosheng will bury Zhang Wang's family." Yuanhang looked at Butcher Zhang and said, "Although the death of Wang Zhang is not your sin, it is also because of you. I hope you will do it yourself, if there is another such thing, this official will not spare you. ”
Butcher Zhang choked up and kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Xiaomin will change his past mistakes and be a good person to comfort my deceased wife." Thank you, Lord Qingtian. ”
Yuanhang sighed and said, "Xie Housheng, since ancient times, killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts. The case of your murder of Zhang Wang's has been decided. You should have been beheaded for public display, but the official had the virtue of a good life, and allowed you to die in prison and leave you with a whole body. ”
Xie Housheng kowtowed to Yuanhang and said: "It is really a blessing for the people to have such a good official in Yizhou, and the sinners are grateful for the grace of the adults." ”
Yuanhang looked at Xie Laohan and said, "Xie San didn't report it, and helped his son escape." Guilty of harboring. He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment and was immediately imprisoned. ”
Xie Laohan didn't say anything, only kowtowed to Yuanhang.
"Quit." Yuanhang stood up, straightened his official hat, looked at the people around him, and turned around and walked towards the back house.
