Lu Jinping stared at him and said, "Do you remember clearly, he went out around the second watch?" Memory is not mistaken? ”

Liu's second daughter-in-law said: "How can I remember wrong? At that time, I had just had dinner, and the family hadn't slept yet, so how could I be mistaken. ”

"That's not right, your son just told me that about the fourth watch, someone was learning toads outside, but your husband Liu Lao Er went out, and you also swore words, your son asked you, at that time, you were talking about the dawn of the day, why is it now the second watch?"

Liu's second daughter-in-law couldn't imagine that Lu Jinping would ask the child first, so she couldn't help but panic, and quickly covered it up and said: "The child can't remember clearly, he is in a daze, and it is indeed the second watch." ”

"I've heard that children don't lie. Besides, Widow Chang proved that when your husband Liu Lao Er arrived at the wine shop, he and Zhou Yuanwai's son-in-law Pang Yan were the only two left in the wine shop. On the second watch, there were still a lot of drinkers in their winery, and if your husband went at that time, I could find someone to check and see if I saw him. If it turns out that you are lying, do you know what it is to deceive the yamen? ”

The bear catcher next to him grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled out half of the bright steel knife with a loud sound, flashing with cold light, staring at Liu's second daughter-in-law viciously, so frightened that she screamed, fell to the ground, got up and kowtowed again, and said: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life!" It was my man's dead ghost who asked me to say this, and he said that if he didn't say this, he would be arrested and sent to prison, or even beheaded, then my family would not have the backbone. I listened to him in a moment of confusion before I said that. In fact, he went out on the fourth watch, that is, the stinking and shameless toad of the widow and told him to go out. ”

"How do you know it's a widow who is learning to crow? Did you see that? ”

"I didn't see it that night, but it must have been him, because he used to learn how to scream a toad a few times, and once I sneaked out to see, and sure enough, she took my man away, and I don't know what to do. This kind of stinky and shameless woman will seduce men, and it will be disgusting to think about it......" followed by a string of foul language.

Xiong Zhutou scolded sharply: "Don't say this in front of the lord, beware of the palm." ”

Liu's second daughter-in-law hurriedly begged for mercy and shut up.

Lu Jinping ordered to take Liu's second daughter-in-law down, escorted Liu Lao'er up again, and said with a sneer: "You are not small, you dare to deceive the yamen." ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Lao Er suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, prostrate on the ground, and trembled and said: "Lord Sir, I, I don't know where the villain said something wrong?" ”

"Are you still obsessed? Let me ask you, - what is the matter with learning to call a toad? When exactly did you go out? Who's waiting for you outside? Do your daughter-in-law and your son know all these things, and you still dare to lie to your face and deceive your own officials? ”

Liu Lao Er was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and quickly got up again and said, "The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty." The villain did tell a lie before, and the villain was called to the wine shop by the widow on the fourth watch, not the second watch. ”

"What the hell is going on? Start at the beginning. Know that you are the most serious suspect at the moment, and if you don't confess well, beware of your flesh and skin! I'm not that good at grinding with you. "Yes, yes, little one understands. And it came to pass that when I came back from the field that day, I was a little sleepy, tired and wanted to drink some wine, but I didn't have much money, so I didn't go. Sleep at home. On the fourth watch, the widow learned to call a toad outside, which she agreed with me, if there is anything to find me, she will learn to call a toad outside, and then I will go out. ”

Lu Jinping said: "What is the relationship between the two of you? Why did she learn to call a toad and tell you out? Late in the middle of the night. ”

She begged me for help. Because there are some drunkards in the winery who are drunk and can't walk in her winery, it is not convenient for her to support a woman's family, and she has no money to hire a man, and if she asks a young man from her widow's family, there will be gossip. So she was alone, and when she was drunk and couldn't go home, she asked me to help her go back. Give me a bowl of wine to drink at a time. It was the same that night. ”

"How often do people get drunk at the Widow's Wine Shop and let you go to help?"

"It's every once in a while, and you can mix a bowl of wine to drink every time."

"You're helping him just for that bowl of bar?"

Liu Lao Er lowered his head and said angrily: "I can't hide it from Lord Lord's eyes, I like Sister Chang, so she mentioned this matter to me and asked me to help, and I agreed, otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten up in the middle of the night for a bowl of wine." ”

"And then, you say?"

"Later, when I followed her to the winery, on the way, Widow Chang told me that Zhou Yuanwai's son-in-law Pang Yan seemed to be drunk when she drank at her place, and she didn't dare to report to the official, nor did she dare to call someone, thinking of me, and wanted to ask me to help her think of a way. She cried as she spoke, looking very anxious. She said that she was afraid that others would suspect that she had drunk Pang Yan to death, so her sin would be great, and she might have to go to court. So, she begged me to find a way, and I was shocked when I heard it. Can drinking kill people? I haven't heard of this yet, so I hurriedly followed her to the wine shop, and when I went to her bedroom, I saw Pang Yan lying on the ground, just like the posture I said earlier. I didn't lie, he was lying on his stomach like that, touched his nose, he was dead, I saw that she was very scared, my heart was hot, so I told her, I helped her testify, just said that the three of us drank, I can testify, at that time, Pang Yan drank hard by himself, and it had nothing to do with Sister Chang, so that she would not cause trouble. Sister Chang was very happy and grateful to me, so the two of us agreed, and then, wait until dawn to find someone. ”

Lu Jinping said: "Did Widow Chang say how she found out that Pang Yan was dead? ”

She said that Pang Yan had been drinking in her wine shop since the afternoon and evening of the previous day, and drank until midnight, when all the drinkers went home, and he was the only one left. Sister Chang wanted to help him go back, but he didn't do it, and slept on Sister Chang's bed cheekily. said that he would sleep here tonight, with Sister Chang. Sister Chang scolded him for being shameless, and then left him alone, she came out with a quilt and went to the cellar latch, and slept in the cellar. After sleeping for a while, Sister Chang got up thirsty and looked for water to drink, there was no water in the cellar, only in the bedroom, but she went to the bedroom only to find Pang Yan lying motionless on the ground at the head of the bed, already dead. ”

This result made the hope of solving the case that the bear catcher next to him had already seen was dashed at this moment. He originally thought that this Liu Lao Er was the biggest suspect, but now the results of the investigation show that he just told a lie to testify for Widow Chang, so who is the murderer?

Lu Jinping asked Liu Lao Er to withdraw and brought Widow Chang in.

Lu Jinping said to her with a gloomy face: "Peng Yan was murdered by you!" ”

Widow Chang was taken aback, trembled, knelt on the ground with a grunt, and said, "Master, I have been wronged, how can I kill him?" I have no reason to kill him, how can I, a weak woman, kill him? Besides, he's my big customer, and if he dies, I won't have any money to make. ”

"Since you didn't kill you, then why did you go to Liu Lao Er to help you perjury? Is this necessary? ”

Widow Chang sighed, looked at Lu Jinping in horror, and then looked at the bear catcher next to her, and saw that they were all staring at themselves with dark faces, obviously already knowing the inside story, it seems that Liu Lao Er has confessed, and said with a sad face: "The slave family really can't help it, the reputation of the slave family as a widow is not very good, if Pang Yan dies alone in my bedroom, it is something that can't be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River." Wouldn't my reputation stink in that case? I still want to find a good man to marry in the next life and live a good life again. Who would dare to marry me in that case? I run this brewery now, and it is also a forced livelihood, I think that I can find a good family to live, and I can't let my reputation be ruined. So, after thinking about it, there is only this way. ”

Speaking of sadness, the widow cried sadly, sobbing and choking, and her shoulders kept shaking.
