Just when everyone hesitated, Zhang Shun walked into the bedroom of the main house that had not been inhabited for a long time, but saw dust all over the ground, and rows of ants crawling on the edge of the kang. This Zhang Shun is very clever, he wants Luo to leave the main house and live in the short and narrow wing, isn't there a ghost in her heart? I saw ants running on the kang again, where are there so many ants in the old house? Could it be that Ma Xiaoqi's body is buried in this kang cave?

Besides, when Luo saw Zhang Shun walk into the main house, he was shocked, and hurried in to pull him.

Zhang Shun jumped on the earthen kang and lifted the adobe bricks as if she was going to smash someone, and the corpse happened to be exposed, and the officials immediately tied her up and escorted her to the yamen.

Chen Shi saw that the body was found, and immediately ordered the arrest of Hu Butcher. The adulterer and adulteress both knelt in the court, knowing that the end was coming, so they honestly confessed how they cheated and how they killed Ma Xiaoqi.

Ma Xiaoqi's corpse was found, and the two corpses that were handed in must be fake. Chen Shi sent Zhou Cheng and Wang Ling to the hall and asked where the corpse came from.

Zhou Cheng and Wang Ling saw that they could no longer hide it, so they recruited the old man who was riding a donkey and pushed the old man riding a donkey into the river and drowned him for fear of being whipped after the deadline.

The truth of this interrelated mystery case has finally been revealed.

Therefore, Chen Yitang sentenced: Luo Shi and Hu Butcher committed adultery and murder, and the crime was serious, and they were dragged to the market and cut off their hands and feet and executed in eight pieces. The two pretends, Zhou Cheng and Wang Ling, indiscriminately killed innocent people and escorted them to the execution ground to be beheaded.

……

"Then you are considered to have made a meritorious service, and it should be a reward, why are you still imprisoned?" Li Tao was puzzled.

"I also want to know what the reason is. I've been locked up for more than three months anyway. Zhang Shun shook his head and said.

"Is he telling the truth?" Li Tao turned his head and asked.

"It's basically true!" Ma Ming nodded.

"Then why are you still holding him?"

Ma Ming said truthfully: "Although he has made meritorious contributions, he also carries more than a dozen cases of theft on his back, and there are bitter masters who sue him." How to put it? ”

What Ma Ming said was reasonable, and Li Tao couldn't refute it, he looked at another person: "What is your name, and why are you in prison?" ”

The man had sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, thin as dry wood, glanced at Li Tao and did not answer.

"Lantian King, let me talk about it. This Wang Qi is also a man......"

……

Tomb robbery outside Chang'an City has become a common practice, causing public resentment to boil, and officials at all levels are under great pressure.

Someday. The servant caught a suspect, and Chen Shi was desperate and tortured. The man eventually confessed that he was a tomb robber and confessed to several accomplices. The recovered artifacts also correspond to those found in the stolen tombs.

Chen Shi happily began to invite merit and reward. This person will be beheaded at a later date.

On the day of execution, the crowd of spectators was crowded, and suddenly one person shouted: "How can Wang Fa allow innocent people to be killed?" The tomb robber is my king seven! ”

After Chen Shi sent someone to retrieve the stolen goods with the man, he was inspected by the servants and the bitter master, and it was indeed in the stolen tomb. Fang knew that the previous person could not withstand the torture, so he asked his family to forge stolen goods to offset it, just to be convicted of the crime, and was executed early. so as not to suffer in prison.

Wang Qiyuan was a famous tomb robber in Chang'an, and he was particularly clever. With a simple set of tools in his hand, he can easily open someone's grave, no matter how tightly set it is. There is no one in the Tao who does not admire him.

Chen Shi admired Wang Qi a lot, and originally wanted to ask the court to pardon the punishment he deserved, but it was also because of Zhang Wei's sudden arrival that the matter dragged on.

……

After listening to this, Li Tao looked at the two of them for a long time, and said slowly: "If you are willing to leave this path from now on, I will save your lives and let you live a normal life!" ”

Wang Qi sighed: "If you can live a normal life, who wants to make a living with a bad reputation?" ”

Zhang Shun also echoed: "It's not too poor, I can't live a life and was forced out, if I can start over, I won't do this business anymore!" ”

"I can give you the money, don't worry. But you have to cooperate with me to do something, and you have to suffer a little......"

……

On March 16, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion took Zhang Shun and Wang Qi to Xishi, whipped them in front of the people, and then punished them to sweep the road.

Ma Ming shouted to the two of them: "You two must come here every day to be whipped, and then go to sweep the road." However, you can steal from the past! ”

The people were in an uproar when they heard it, and the order of the government was very novel, which meant that the two of them could report their former accomplices and sweep the road instead of themselves.

Naturally, the two of them were indispensable to be present, and the matter quickly spread, and the thieves in Chang'an City had a hard time. Everyone is a peer, and they know each other's roots, so what is the need for this "stealing from the old to the generation"? The thieves will surely be recognized by their own people, and they will either run away or wash their hands from now on.

……

Chen Shi clapped his hands and smiled: "King Lantian, I have only heard thieves shouting to catch thieves before, but today I have seen your thief's means of catching thieves, both absolute and spiritual, thieves shouting to catch thieves, it is difficult for these people to get through the trick if they want to be confused......"

Li Tao was about to open his mouth, but when he saw Pei Yue quietly entering the house, he attached himself to Li Tao's ear and whispered: "Little master, he wants to see you!" ”

Li Tao looked excited: "But there's news?" ”

Pei Yue nodded.

"Great!" Li Tao hurriedly stood up: "Let him come in!" ”

It was Tong Zhaorui who came to report a few days ago.

"I've seen the little master!"

"Do you have eyebrows?" Li Tao asked bluntly.

Tong Zhaorui glanced at Zhang Wei, Chen Shi and Ma Ming, but nodded and did not speak.

Li Tao knew that he had concerns, and waved his hand and said, "It's okay to say it directly!" ”

"Yes! Little master! As you commanded, we sent all our men to look around, and finally got to the bottom of them. Speaking of which, this is also a bit accidental......"

……

A few days ago, a scholar stayed in the inn, and occasionally looked up and saw a good-looking woman living opposite the door, so he had a bad heart.

At night, the woman was asleep in bed, and the scholar pushed the door open.

When the woman thought that the robbers were coming, she trembled and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The scholar smiled, "I want to sleep with you." ”

The woman was about to shout, but the scholar had locked the door, and then threw a burden in front of her and said, "Sleep with me, and the five thousand dollars will be given to you, and tomorrow we will go our separate ways." If you refuse to resist, I will kill you first, and then kill myself. ”

The woman, lured by money and forced by a sharp blade, stopped keeping silent and allowed the scholar to climb up and do whatever he wanted.

The next morning, the scholar suddenly cried in his guest room, and said to the shopkeeper and the guests who had gathered: "I have 5,000 yuan with me, which is my family's breadwinners, and I lost it all last night, and I have no choice but to die." ”

The shopkeeper asked, "Do you lock the door when you sleep at night?" ”

The scholar replied, "No." ”

The shopkeeper said, "The money must have been stolen by thieves." Don't know if the person you're bringing with you can have a mark? ”

The scholar said, "Yes." That money has rust stains. ”

So the shopkeeper said to the guests: "In order to save this person, please help search your luggage." ”

In order to get rid of the relationship and prove their innocence, the guests took the initiative to spread out their carry-on luggage for inspection. (To be continued......)
