Chapter 108: The Case of Yang Xiu, a Famous Scholar 3
The so-called hard work pays off, and he really saw some secrets, he picked up Shen Xiaozhi's folding fan at the door, and peeped at his sister-in-law MILFs who forgot to close the door when they took a bath.
Now that Ang Li died in an accident, and it was a homicide, coupled with all the previous signs, Shen Xiaozhi's suspicion is the greatest, so at this moment, in the eyes of Yang Xiuzhi, in the hearts of all the occasional people, Shen Xiaozhi is the suspect.
cried squeamishly: "My lord, you have to be aware of it, the little woman is not out of the door at home, and her husband and son have been guarding the women's way all these years, how can she have an adulterous affair with this Shen Gongzi?" Your Excellency, you need to be aware of it. ”
Shen Xiaozhi also cried: "The student was just drunk at the temple fair that day, and he saw that this lady was good-looking, so he went up and said a few words, and there were no other evil deeds, how could he kill Li An for the sake of her, and ask for a good understanding." ”
Xiao Lizi also cried loudly: "The adults are the masters of the little, my brother died unjustly, my lord!" ”
Yang Xiuzhi was upset by their cries, and scolded loudly: "Don't make noise in the court, shut up for me." Then he turned to Xu Niang and said: "The suspect has now been caught by me, you go back first, and when your husband's head is found, I will let her pay for her life and let you remarry." The cried and retreated.
Yang Xiuzhi turned his head and scolded Shen Xiaozhi loudly: "Bold and crazy, I don't think you will confess if you don't give you a heavy punishment today, come and give me a torture tool!" Speaking of which, the leaders of the government servants moved all the things such as clamps, tiger chairs, and oil pots very briskly, and Shen Xiaozhi trembled with fear when he looked at these bloody torture instruments.
Yang Xiuzhi shouted: "Bold fanatic, do you recruit or not?" Seeing this, even Gao Huan felt that he was bending into a move. It seems that the ancient trial of cases really did not have much technical content. Yang Xiuzhi's gold content instantly decreased a lot in Gao Huanxing's eyes.
Shen Xiaozhi cried and shouted that he was wronged, and Yang Xiuzhi said to the head of the official squad in anger: "Give me forty boards first." The head of the team said hello. Four or five errand officers went up and pressed Shen Xiaozhi to the ground, pulled out his pants and crackled and beat him fatly. Pity this weak scholar when he suffered such a crime, and after a while, he was beaten half to death and fainted.
Yang Xiuzhi asked someone to get a bucket of cold water to wake up Shen Xiaozhi, and said to him: "You must find the head of the deceased within today, otherwise you will break your legs." So saying, he asked the servant to handcuff him and drag him down to find his head. Then Yang Xiuzhi persuaded Xiao Lizi to go home and wait for the news.
The next day, Shen Xiaozhi returned to the yamen empty-handed and dejected, and Yang Xiuzhi asked him a little angrily: "Did you accidentally lose this head when you transferred the body?" Look for it. Shen Xiaozhi cried and went out to find someone's head. In order to close the case as soon as possible, Yang Xiuzhi issued an official letter asking the villagers and neighbors to help find Li An's head, and the person who found it could get a bounty of thirty taels of silver.
Gao Huan saw this and felt that this Yang Xiuzhi was not only of average level, but also a little nonsense. I lost interest at all, and was about to ask Xu Mingzhi to arrange to return to Beijing, when suddenly the messenger came with the news that the dead head had been found, and out of curiosity, Gao Huan decided to stay and read the closing statement before leaving.
The head was found by a scoundrel in the west of the city, Yang Xiuzhi immediately ascended to the court to summon the person for inspection, and after comparing the head with the dead body, it was confirmed on the spot by Xiao Lizi and. It was indeed Ang Lee's head, which brought Shen Xiaoyi to the hall and planned to close the case.
Yang Xiuzhi invited Ang Lee's old father to testify and said to him: "Old man. Your eldest son's murder case can be closed today, and the official already knows the murderer, but unfortunately your daughter-in-law is young and widowed. It's better to remarry her after the case is closed. The old man disagreed at first, and then Yang Xiuzhi pretended to be angry. To be angry with him, the old man was so frightened that he quickly agreed.
Yang Xiuzhi happily asked in the lobby: "Which of you people is willing to marry her?" The hall was silent, and the onlookers who watched the excitement were all talking, and they couldn't figure out what Taishou was thinking. This is a scoundrel who got up boldly and said that he wanted to go to, were so frightened that they lost their faces, and pleaded with Yang Xiuzhi again and again, while looking at Xiao Lizi anxiously, Xiao Lizi looked at Yang Xiuzhi with a lost expression.
Yang Xiuzhi laughed and said, "Little Lizi, do you know who killed your brother?" Xiao Lizi raised his head and pointed at Shen Xiaozhi and said, "Isn't it him?" Yang Xiuzhi shook his head and said, "No, the murderers are you and this head-seeking prank!" As soon as these words came out of the hall, the upper and lower halls suddenly exploded.
Xiao Li Zi was about to argue, Yang Xiuyi was shocked, and said loudly: "Don't quibble, listen to me ask you carefully, the headless corpse has not yet come out of the well, and you immediately confirmed that your own brother Li An died without taking a closer look, this is one of them." I heard that you have known this splash skin in private for a long time, and Shen Xiaozhi's folding fan was not picked up at your house, and it was missing in the tavern in the west of the city was picked up by this splashing skin, and I wanted to take it to the pawnshop to drink, but the pawnshop owner said that the folding fan had been signed and was worthless, so the splash gave this fan to you, yes or no? ”
Splashy heard that he was already paralyzed to the ground in fright, and Xiao Lizi trembled and said, "My lord, you have wronged the villain." ”
Yang Xiuzhi smiled and continued: "Don't be in a hurry to shout wronged, I sent someone to inquire about the situation of your family privately, you have been disabled and physically inconvenient since you were a child, so you have not married, although you usually separate from your brother, but the two families live next door, and the relationship between you and your brother is not very good, because you often gamble and drink, and your reputation is not very good." Your brother has repeatedly admonished you not to listen, so he has broken with him, plus you have a crush on this gorgeous sister-in-law, so you are ruthless and want to kill your brother's seized family property to marry your sister-in-law. ”
"It's a pity that you can't beat Li An because you are disabled, so you discussed with this guy, the two of you partnered to ambush him on the way home, killed him in the wild and abandoned his body in the well, and then took out Shen Xiaozhi's folding fan to blame him. It's a pity that Shen Xiaozhi's few words were light at the beginning, but they suffered today's catastrophe. ”
After Yang Xiuzhi said these words, Xiao Lizi and Popi were already bloodless, and their bodies were trembling like chaff. Xiao Lizi also said stiffly in front of his father and: "My lord, this is speculation, there is no evidence, I am not convinced!" ”
Yang Xiuzhi smiled slightly and said to him, "I don't need evidence. He turned his head and shouted to the splasher: "That guy in the hall." I ask you, I send out all the heads of men that I cannot find. How did you find it as soon as you searched for it? Could it be that you are hiding the head of the deceased, could it be that you did this case alone? Come on. Otherwise, the punishment will be served! ”
Splashy was already frightened at this time, and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy and shouted: "Master Mingjian, this matter is all Xiao Lizi's attention, the little one is just an accomplice, he is the mastermind." ”
Ang Li's father was so angry that he grabbed Xiao Lizi and scolded loudly: "Is it really a good thing that you have done as an evil obstacle?!" Xiao Lizi shook off his hand and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, how could I kill my brother?" ”
Hearing this, he got up and confronted him, and said, "It wasn't you who came to me that day and said that you wanted me to help me make a deal, and after the matter was completed, I would be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver." I was greedy enough to be used by you to kill people, and I was afraid that someone would find out too soon, so I cut off Ang Lee's head and hid it. Splashy turned his head to Yang Xiuzhi and cried: "Lord Qingtian, what the little one said is true, it is this little plum who covets his sister-in-law's beauty and covets his brother's family property, so he let the villain help do the case, and now the villain's house still has a hundred silver sent by him hidden in the stove, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to get it and check it." ”
Seeing this, Gao Huan and Xu Mingzhi both felt that the plot was changing too quickly. This Yang Xiuzhi is really a powerful person with two brushes, peeling off the cocoon of the case, combing the context clearly, and not wronging anyone. It's just this Shen Xiaozhi......
At this time, Xiao Lizi no longer had the strength to argue, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and he was completely deceived by Yang Xiuzhi. At the moment, he can only confess his guilt and surrender to the law. Yang Xiuzhi sentenced him on the spot.
Yang Xiu also persuaded Shen Xiaozhi bitterly after the incident: "You were indeed wronged in the whole case, but this official feels that as a descendant of a scholarly family. Sons of the Holy Prophet, you should not behave so frivolously. Otherwise, there would not be today's prison disaster, so this official punished you a little and beat you on the board, you won't hold a grudge against me. ”
Shen Xiaozhi cried and said: "The student can clear up the injustice thanks to the adult's clear understanding of the case like a god, otherwise I am afraid that the student will die unjustly in prison, this punishment The student not only does not hold a grudge, but also thanks to you, the adult, in the future, the student will be a good official after studying and gaining fame." ”
Yang Xiuzhi persuaded him with good words and sent someone to send him home. At this time, Gao Huan came out and said: "Lord Yang really lives up to his reputation, and he is like a god in judging cases." Xu Mingzhi said with a smile on the side: "If the case can be investigated earlier, then Shen Xiaozhi may not have to be punished." ”
Yang Xiuzhi smiled and said: "Xia Guan actually didn't know what was going on at the beginning, and then gradually found some clues, but he didn't dare to correct them, for fear that he didn't have a real grasp of wronging a good person, and finally the appearance of this head confirmed what the little official thought in his heart, and he had a clear understanding of the case at the moment, and it was not difficult to close the case." ”
"You can consider not hurting the innocent and not wronging good people, it can be seen that you are a responsible and good official, and solving the case in a short period of time shows that you still have the ability." Gao Huan couldn't help but praise him a few words, this person can be brought back to the capital to listen to it, isn't this the second Murong Heng.
So Gao Huan turned around and whispered a few words to Xu Mingzhi, and then left with Gao Zhongming first. Yang Xiuzhi felt that this person Shuzuo was not an ordinary person, and he always felt that he and Xu Mingzhi did not seem to have a superior-subordinate relationship, this Shuzuo's behavior was too casual, and no Shuzuo dared to talk to his master so casually.
Xu Mingzhi saw that Gao Huan was gone, and then said to Yang Xiuzhi: "You are going to have good luck, His Royal Highness the King of Qi wants to promote your official and transfer you to the capital Qi Wangfu on an errand and be a staff secretary, are you willing?" ”
Yang Xiuzhi didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Of course I am willing, but why did His Highness suddenly transfer me to the capital?" Xu Mingzhi looked at him with a little mockery: "You and Your Highness have been in the same room for several days, how can Your Highness not know about you?" ”
Yang Xiuzhi opened his mouth wide and suddenly realized that he said to himself: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, it seems that His Royal Highness is still playing chess, and I am convinced of the loss." Then he turned his head and asked Xu Mingzhi: "Dare to ask Lord Xu, when will we leave?" It seems that he can't wait to go to the Qi Palace, the capital, and now he feels that he finally has a place to display his passions and ambitions.
Xu Mingzhi said to him lightly: Right now, you hurry home and pack your luggage.
The assassin of Southern Xuzhou still asked Yang Xiuzhi at this moment: "What are you talking about, why didn't I figure it out, and where is His Royal Highness King Qi?" Yang Xiuzhi smiled at him and said: "Engong, you hurry up and find someone to replace me, this is too guarded to be unofficial for a day." After speaking, he took Yu Tong home and packed up.
In the palace of Qiwang in Yecheng, late at night, Gao Chen sneaked into a room in the backyard, there were already people waiting for him, as soon as Gao Chen entered, the person stepped forward and hugged him, it turned out to be the Li family.
This Li has long taken a fancy to Gao Chen's handsome appearance, and he was originally addicted to seeing flowers, who knew that Gao Chen also had a soft spot for her, and several times in private he took advantage of no one to ask for warmth, and the most feared thing for a married woman is loneliness, you think, when she was not married, someone pursued her every day, and she was very picky, but once she found a man to settle down, she hoped that this man would have the money to support her, and she would accompany her every day to take care of her.
This is the nature of every woman, but a man like Gao Huan, the warblers and Yanyan around him are really uncountable, the old ones have not gone to the new ones and grown again, and they have been hugging her one after another, Li feels that he is not from a good background, and he is not innocent and follows Gao Huan, so he can only be a concubine for him.
