As soon as Li Ju'er returned to the house, she immediately returned to the yamen and reported her whereabouts to Liang Yuxi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Liang Yuxi was about to sink down, he asked people to take Niankong first, and decided to make a hole in him first, so that Li Ju'er had nothing to say, and tried his best to save some face in Donglu Mansion.
After the catch was gone, Zhu Quan came back to report that the person who raised the birds had already taken it, and it was an old couple. There were indeed some strange little shrubs planted in the yard, but nothing else was found.
Liang Yuxi asked to take the person to the side hall first, and he wanted to interrogate him personally.
Liang Yuxi entered the side hall and saw that the old couple kneeling on the ground were about the age of sixties. He should have never seen an official, and he trembled when he knelt on the ground.
After the servants broke off a few drinks, the two of them shivered before they raised their heads.
Liang Yuxi asked, "Who are you two?" Why here? Hurry up. ”
The old man said: "The villain couple lives in Hutang Street, and the little one is called Shen Gui. I don't know what happened to be caught by someone who sent me here. ”
"Then I ask you, why did you two poison birds? and bring it from the truth, so that the flesh and skin will not suffer. ”
"My lord, we just raised this bird. What kind of poison has he ever had? ”
Liang Yuxi saw that he wanted to deny it, and he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, "Then what is that shrub planted in your yard?" What is the fruit? ”
Shen Gui also had no excuses, knowing that it would be difficult to deny it, so he hurriedly kowtowed: "My lord, I really don't know if these little ones are poisons." I'm just being taken care of by someone with money. I don't have a grudge against anyone. ”
"Why poison? What's the matter with the bird and the tree? If you tell me carefully, if there is half a lie, you will not beat an old bone. ”
Shen Gui finally calmed down a little and said, "Yes, yes, my lord." About a few months ago, a stranger came to my house and said that he would give me ten taels of silver a month to take care of the bird and the small potted shrub for him. The little one didn't know the stakes for a while, thinking that it was just worth it, so he agreed to take care of it for him. After looking at it for a few days, he put forward the condition, that is, in addition to the usual feeding, the bird should put a cage before noon to let it out, give it a piece of this fruit, and let it fly out. It must be done every day. If they do not do so, they will have no pennies of silver. As for this fruit, he also explained that this thing should not be known to outsiders in the backyard, and should not touch it, saying that it is somewhat poisonous. At this time, the little one wondered what the bird was going to do. also blamed me for coveting his silver taels, and he did it every day, and he didn't think about any evil consequences. The little one doesn't know where the bird is flying or what it's going to do. I just think this book is not just my business, I am just a bird watcher. That's going to think that this provoked official came to the door. Then I will go home, and give back to the house, and the birds and the bushes. ”
Liang Yuxi sneered: "What a traitorous person, he actually said that those who don't know are not guilty. Not only did you not know about it, but you also aided in the abuse, poisoned and killed innocent people, etc., and you are also a complete murderer. ”
Shen Gui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and even claimed that the adults spared their lives, and the small ones confessed.
"Who is that person, and how did you get the silver?"
The man was not a local, but he came once a month to give the money and look at the birds and the fruit. In two days, he should have come, too. ”
Liang Yuxi heard that it would take two more days, "Then have you ever recognized him before or seen him in the city?" ”
"I didn't know the little one before, and I never saw it in the city."
"Well, this official will give you a chance, and when you go back, you will take care of the birds and fruits as usual, and release the birds as usual, waiting for someone to give you money. Help the yamen to take this man, and you will be spared the death penalty. ”
Shen Gui hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, Lord Kai, I will definitely do it." ”
Liang Yuxi called Zhu Quan and asked him to arrange it like this, and then let Shen Gui and his wife go.
After the people left here, Niankong was also arrested and taken to the county office.
The arrest room is also afraid of alarming the others, and now they are taking everyone away with their heads covered and taken away according to Liang Yuxi's orders.
After Niankong was escorted to the side hall and knelt down, the chief bookkeeper saw that Liang Yuxi was very tired, so he asked Niankong about his previous situation.
Liang Yuxi asked, "Niankong, do you know why this official invited you here?" ”
Niankong replied calmly: "I don't know." ”
"Do you know the rules that monks should follow?"
"If Lord Liang has something, just ask me. As for the rules of the monks, the poor path is naturally known. ”
"Then you say that it is a sin to tell a family member to commit adultery?"
"Poor Dao ......" Niankong hesitated for a moment, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied: "Poor Dao has indeed committed adultery, and I am willing to be punished by the canon. ”
"Then you name the woman with whom you committed adultery."
"I can't say it. Although I am a transgressor, I also know some feelings. ”
Liang Yuxi **** ordered the master bookkeeper to say: "According to the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, how is this crime of adultery punished, so that the master book?" ”
The master replied: "According to the criminal law, the spine rod flows a hundred and a thousand miles." ”
After hearing this, Niankong's face turned pale.
Liang Yuxi said: "You heard it too." Are you so stubborn that you want to take the blame off on your own? ”
Niankong avoided Liang Yuxi's gaze and lowered his head. Liang Yuxi waited for him to think for a while, and then asked, "Who is that woman?" If you don't say it, you'll be the first to let the officer be executed. ”
Nian Kong closed his eyes, raised his head, and sighed, "The great road is wasted, there is benevolence and righteousness......" Then he stopped talking, and began to chant words in his mouth.
Liang Yuxi looked at him with a stiff look, knowing that he couldn't do anything if he didn't move the punishment. It's just that he really can't bear to do this.
Seeing this, the master asked the main bookkeeper, "My lord, don't you need to sign it?" ”
Liang Yuxi asked Niankong again: "You are a monk, and you also know that Skynet is magnificent and not leaky. Not only have you corrupted the rules and disciplines, but you have also corrupted the rules and precepts. is so stubborn and stubborn, he doesn't know what shame is, and what kind of benevolence and righteousness are he talking about. ”
Niankong ignored him, and looked determined not to speak again.
Liang Yuxi asked again: "Then you stole the things of Donglu Mansion, what do you want to say about this benevolence and affection?" ”
When Niankong heard about Donglu Mansion, his originally closed eyes couldn't help jumping. He pursed his lips, a little unable to control himself.
Liang Yuxi asked again: "If you explain where the things in Donglu Mansion are, this official can consider ......"
Niankong couldn't stand it anymore, so he said: "Lord Liang, this matter has nothing to do with the people of Donglu Mansion, and I really haven't taken anyone's belongings." If you think that I am guilty of personal affairs, I am willing to be punished. But I will never admit that I have stolen things. ”
Liang Yuxi knew that he panicked when he heard the word Donglu Mansion, and thought to himself, seeing that he didn't say anything false, he might not have taken that thing. Then he asked, "If you tell the truth now, and save me from taking your good hand and punishing you, it will be in vain for you to say it again." ”
Niankong hurriedly said: "Lord Liang, please let her go." This matter was all a small momentary lust that forced her to comply. If there's anything you have better with me, don't take her. ”
"Whether you take her or not depends on whether you tell the truth."
Niankong cursed and swore an oath: "What the little one said, there is no half a lie, if I steal someone else's things, let the adult cut me with a thousand knives." ”
