Wei thought for a while, and then said, "...... afternoon"

"You're lying, Cuihuan has been in Pengjiazhuang that afternoon, and he hasn't left."

That afternoon, Song Yun'er had been soaking mushrooms at Shui Wanqi's place, looking for Shui Wanqi's use of an inkstone to smash Peng Si's head. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi concluded that Wei was lying.

Wei Shi said in a panic: "I remember wrong, yes...... It's night. ”

"What time is the evening?"

"Probably...... About a watch."

This time, Song Yun'er couldn't help but say: "Nonsense! On the first watch, Cuihuan was also in Pengjiazhuang and never left! I saw it with my own eyes. Song Yun'er visited Shui Wanqi's bedroom that night and saw Shui Wanqi giving Cuihuan a nine-yin white bone claw on her face.

Wei was even more flustered, and he didn't know what to say.

Yang Qiuchi observed the words and understood that there must be a hidden secret in it, and he had already guessed a rough idea of this hidden secret, but on the surface, he was not at all silent, and he was not in a hurry to chase and fight, bypassed the topic, and said, "What did you overhear?" ”

Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard them say that they want Cuihuan to take Young Master Peng out and kidnap him the next day. ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "What are they kidnapping Young Master Peng for?" For ransom? ”

"No, they ...... They are going to ......" Wei said this, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Yang Qiuchi, and asked: "Master, this matter is really important, let me say it, can you really spare my son's surname?" ”

Yang Qiuchi has already thought about this problem.

If the water thief hit Peng Si with a stone, if he wants to use modern criminal law to sentence, it is an intentional injury causing death, and it is a multi-cause and one effect, he only bears most of the responsibility and not all of it, plus there is a cause for the incident, the motive is not despicable, and there is a juvenile This statutory mitigating and mitigating circumstance, so it is not bad to be sentenced to a few years in prison.

In ancient times, the crime of forcible annihilation was punishable by hanging, while the punishment for the crime of forcible annihilation in modern criminal law is much lighter than in ancient times. Under normal circumstances, only fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than 10 years shall be imposed, and only when a person is seriously injured or killed by a rotational or forcible annihilation shall a sentence of fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or the death penalty be imposed.

Therefore, according to modern criminal law, judging from the name of the crime, Shui Jizi cannot be sentenced to death, and in addition, he is a minor and cannot be sentenced to death according to the law. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi, who is deeply educated in modern criminal law, does not intend to sentence Shui Qiuzi to death even if there is no meritorious service of the Wei family.

However, Yang Qiuchi had already discovered that Wei must have overheard some major secret, and he wanted to use Wei's fear that Shui Zizi would be sentenced to death to force Wei to tell the secret.

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "This official has already made a guarantee just now, as long as the clues you provide can find the young master of the Peng family, I will spare your son's life." ”

"Okay," Wei said, making up his mind, and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yang Qiuchi was shocked, and he and Song Yun'er glanced at each other, both of them were very shocked.

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Then do you know where Long Laohan and Cuihuan are holding the little young master of the Peng family?" ”

"It's in the pear spring garden!"

"In the pear spring garden? Where? ”

"I don't know the specifics, I only heard from the two of them that they hid in the pear spring garden after the kidnapping came."

As soon as Yang Qiuchi turned his head, he already understood why he was hiding in Lichun Garden, the most dangerous place was often the safest, that Cuihuan disappeared out of thin air, if she left Enyang Town, someone would definitely notice, so she was likely to hide in Lichun Garden with Young Master Peng. Lichun Garden is very large, it is the largest courtyard in Enyang Town, and Long Laohan is the gatekeeper inside, so it is easy to hide two people.

Of course, in order to prevent this Young Master Peng from shouting, they must have charmed him with medicine such as Su Ma San.

Now that you know the goal, it's easy to do. Yang Qiuchi called Nangong Xiong in, and muttered for a while in the back room, and then Nangong Xiong hurried away.

Yang Qiuchi returned to the outhouse and sat down on a stool.

Wei kowtowed and said: "I have already told the big conspiracy that I overheard, and I beg the eldest master to spare my son's surname according to his promise." ”

Yang Qiuchi was thinking about the big conspiracy that Wei said just now, and after listening to her words, he said casually: "It depends on your performance." ”

Wei blushed, wiped the blood on his forehead, and secretly glanced at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi was a little strange about what this Wei family blushed, and after thinking about it, he realized that what he said just now was a little awkward, as if he had grasped some handle from someone else, and wanted to be bad at this Wei family, he hurriedly coughed and explained: "I mean, it depends on whether you can explain when and where you overheard this big conspiracy." ”

Wei originally thought that this matter had been concealed, but he didn't expect that it was just an interrogation strategy of Yang Qiuchi, but now that he picked up the topic just now, his heart suddenly became cold, and he said, "I...... I ......"

"It seems that your surname is not very good," Yang Qiuchi smiled coldly: "Let me tell you, you overheard the conversation between Cuihuan and Old Man Long during the fifth watch, right?" ”

After listening to Yang Qiuchi's words, there was no trace of blood on Wei's face, and he looked at Yang Qiuchi in horror. Yang Qiuchi has seen this kind of gaze a lot, and it is this kind of look that the criminal shows when the crime is about to be revealed.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "You must be very curious about how I know, because I have already found out that this Cuihuan only went to Lichun Garden at the fifth watch in the evening, since you overheard her conversation with Old Man Long, it was naturally that time. ”

Seeing that the lie had been exposed, Wei said in a low voice, "Yes...... It's the fifth watch, and it's the folk woman who remembers it wrong. ”

"What are you doing in Lichun Garden late at night?"

"I ...... I ......" Wei obviously did not think carefully about how to make up lies on this issue, and was speechless.

"If you can't think of this question, then answer another question from this official first: Where did you overhear their conversation in Lichun Garden at that time?"

Wei Shi was even more flustered, his body was already trembling slightly, biting his lip and not speaking.

Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "What? Have you forgotten about this question too? Then let me remind you, you overheard their conversation in Chunhong's room that night, right? ”

Wei Shi went limp, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "Chunhong girl was killed by someone during the fifth watch, and when Cuihuan came, Chunhong was already dead, so Cuihuan stepped on Chunhong's blood flowing on the floor, and at that time, you were already in the room, so you had the opportunity to overhear their conversation after they found out that Chunhong was dead." Am I right? ”

Wei bit his lip as if this was the only way to stop him from confessing.

Yang Qiuchi didn't chase after him, but turned to another topic: "When I interrogated your son Shui Guzi just now, I learned that Miss Chunhong and your son are a pair of childhood sweethearts, and when your son asked you to ask a matchmaker to go to their house to propose, something happened to her family, and her father was forced to sell her to the Qinglou." Your son misses her wholeheartedly, but you don't want your son to marry a girl as a daughter-in-law, but your son is all about Chunhong girl, and even secretly fled to Enyang Town to make money for Pengjiazhuang as a house slave to redeem Chunhong girl. ”

Song Yun'er didn't know how Yang Qiuchi asked halfway through, and suddenly talked about this matter and looked at him puzzled.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "Your son is all your hope, you try your best to stop your son from getting along with Chunhong girl, but your son is just beginning to fall in love, and the five horses can't pull it back, you must have thought of a lot of ways, but they didn't succeed, so you made up your mind that only by killing Chunhong can you break your son's thoughts." ”

"Ahh Song Yun'er exclaimed, "Chunhong was killed by her?" ”

Wei still bit his lip and didn't say a word.

Yang Qiuchi nodded, and then said to Wei: "I don't know when you had this idea, I heard your son say that you went to Lichun Garden to do laundry work, I was a little strange at that time, you don't want your son to marry a girl, even if this woman is your son's childhood sweetheart, it can be seen that you are very disgusted with girls, so you should rather starve to death, than go to Lichun Garden to do laundry, but you violated the rules, there is only one explanation - you went to Lichun Garden for another purpose." ”

Song Yun'er also understood: "Chunhong is the famous brand of Lichun Garden, she wants to kill Chunhong, it is difficult to have a chance, so she went to Lichun Garden to find a job." ”

"Exactly," Yang Qiuchi nodded, stared at the trembling Wei and said, "Your son came to Lichun Garden to look for you that day, and he also took this opportunity to secretly find the Chunhong girl to talk to, and your son's obsession made you finally decide to start." As for how you escaped the search of my men, hid in the pear spring garden, and finally killed the spring red girl, I don't know yet. ”

Wei still bit his lip tightly, stared at the ground, and didn't say anything.

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "You also have to be in love, because your son is your only hope." I have now begun to understand the kind of love that a mother has for her child. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi thought of Liu Ruobing, as well as Qin Zhihui and Song Qing, they were all pregnant with their own children, the so-called adoptive children know the kindness of their parents, when their next generation is about to come to this world, Yang Qiuchi began to slowly realize the love of parents for their children, and only then did he understand every care of his parents for their children.

Wei slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Qiuchi, his plump body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were slowly becoming crystalline.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Although you don't speak, I can be sure that you killed the Chunhong girl." I didn't know it, but I knew it when I met you. ”

Wei looked at Yang Qiuchi suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about.
