Zhang Zhong knelt down and said: "My lord, the grass people are members of Zhangjiazhuang in the east of the city, and their names are Zhang Zhong. ”

Lu Tiande asked, "Who are you going to sue?" ”

Zhang Zhong said: "The grass people want to sue Li Huaiyu, the second son of Li Jiazhai in the north of Luoyang City, Henan. ”

Lu Tiande was stunned and asked, "He is a foreigner, why did you sue him?" ”

Zhang Zhong said: "He is a key criminal who the Luoyang prefect is trying to arrest, and he killed a family member of my Zhang Mansion yesterday. ”

Lu Tiande asked: "Is there any evidence?" ”

Zhang Zhong presented the bloody short knife and said, "This is a murder weapon." ”

Lu Tingshi took the knife and examined it, looked at the white-clothed man on the wooden shelf, and asked, "Who is that on the wooden shelf?" ”

Zhang Zhong arched his hand and said: "It is the murderer Li Huaiyu." ”

Lu Tingshi fixed his eyes and saw that the human body on the wooden frame was incomplete and unconscious. He ordered the officer: "Wake up the accused immediately." ”

A servant squatted down and pushed a few times, Li Huaiyu was motionless, he hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the defendant is unconscious." ”

Assassin Shi said: "Just because the defendant is unconscious, there are many doubts in this case, and the trial is here today!" Withdrawal ......"

After dawn the next day, Lu Tiande sent a servant to Zhangjiazhuang to complete the autopsy, raised the court again, and ordered the officials to wake up Li Huaiyu with cold water, forced him to press his handprint, and drew a detainment. Lu Tingshi preached in the court: "This official has now ascertained that the criminal Li Huaiyu is a key criminal in the Luoyang Prefect's General Series. It was only because Liu Fu, a servant in Zhang Yuanwai's mansion, inadvertently knew the identity of the thief, so he killed him with a knife and killed him. However, the legal net has been restored, and the official has now arrested the thief and made him confess in court. The government announced the verdict, the criminal Li Huaiyu lost his conscience, killed people, ignored the law, and was heinous. Withdrawal ......"

After hearing this verdict, the people outside the hall sighed and said:

"Alas, the unlucky ghost who came from nowhere is going to die again."

"Did this guy surnamed Li really kill someone?"

"Who knows if he's a criminal."

That night, when Xiyue went downstairs to fetch water for the young lady, she suddenly heard the maids and women in the house talking about it, and there was an uproar. She went over and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

A mother-in-law came over and asked, "The girl who attacked the moon still doesn't know, right?" ”

Xi Yue was stunned: "What's going on in the house?" ”

The mother-in-law killed the young master Liu Fu, tried the young master at night, and assassinated Lord Shi to convict the young master of the death penalty, and told it again in 1510.

After hearing this, Xi Yue's heart was frightened, and her heart said: "I want Miss to know, and I can't ...... yet" Thinking of this, she ignored the water, took the empty basin, turned around and ran up to the attic, came to the door of the young lady's room, took a deep breath, pushed the door in, and gasped: "Miss, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

Zhang Meiying put down the needle and thread, stood up and asked, "Raiding the moon, why are you surprised?" What happened? ”

Xi Yue said: "Last night, the old man said that the young master killed Liu Fu, and a murder weapon was found under his bed. The old man ordered Steward Zhang to extort a confession, and the young master swore to death and refused to admit his crime, but the old man was impatient and ordered his family to send the young master to the Yamen of the Assassin History. Today, Lord Assassin Shi sent a corpse to conduct an autopsy, sentenced the young master to death, and tomorrow he will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market. ”

When Zhang Meiying heard this, she was so frightened that her apricot eyes widened, her face was pale, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Is this all the truth?" ”

Xiyue said: "There is no half-a lie? ”

Zhang Meiying's whole body trembled, her legs were weak, and she sat down on the floor, two lines of crystal tears rolled to the ground like pearls with broken threads, and said in a wailing voice: "God, what the hell is going on?" Li Lang is a weak scholar, how could he kill someone? If Li Lang is gone, what is the point of me living in the world? Zhang Meiying was sad for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "No, I can't let Li Lang die like this, I want to save him." ”

Xi Yue said: "Miss can't act recklessly, if you want to save Li Gongzi, you must think long-term!" ”

Zhang Meiying said: "This matter is very strange, since Li Lang killed someone, why did he hide the murder weapon under his bed and leave evidence for others?" This is clearly framed by someone! I'm going to find out what happened, and see who lost his conscience and harmed me Li Lang! ”
