Chapter 110: Touching the Melon
Wang Fushun lay on his side on the ground, moaning in pain, and said: "I went to other places to do business two years ago, and I just returned to Ningguo Mansion two days ago and lived in my brother Wang Tongzhi's house. This morning, my brother and I had a quarrel over a trivial matter, and he tried to kill me with a knife, so I grabbed him in a fit of rage and stabbed him a few times, and then ran back, ready to take some coils and run away, and you caught me. I didn't mean to kill him, he wanted to kill me first. β
Yang Qiuchi sneered and stared at Wang Fushun: "Do you think we really don't know what you have done?" Not only did you kill your brother, but you also killed Jin Keying, a red-card dancer in Drunken Yinglou! Tell me honestly, so that your flesh and skin will not suffer! Niu Baihu was on the side, shaking his thick arms and threatening, which frightened Wang Fushun.
When Tong Juan and the others heard this, they were all stunned, and Tong Juan asked: "Dare to ask ......, is Jin Keying of Drunken Ying Lou really dead?" β¦β¦ There has been no news of her for almost a year or two, and the bustard also said that she went back to her hometown to save her relatives. β
The governor next to him said: "I have long suspected that something is wrong, at that time, Miss Ying was red through half the sky, what kind of pro is it, is that old bustard a good person?" Will she let Miss Ke Ying save her relatives for a year or two? Then her old bustard won't die! β
"yes!" The magistrate in charge of recording also interjected, "That's what the bustard told me too, and I'm a little skeptical." Looking at Yang Qiuchi, he asked, "Could it be that Miss Keying is really dead?" β
Dare to love that this Jin Keying is really a red-card singer in Ningguofu, and even these officials in the prefect's yamen who are not small are familiar with her.
Yang Qiuchi saw that these were all high-ranking officials in the prefect's yamen, and told them that there was no problem, and that the case of Wang Fushun's murder of his brother had to be handed over to them to deal with. Then he nodded: "Yes, after Miss Jin Keying was killed, her bones were buried in a vegetable field in Guangde County." Yang Qiuchi pointed to Song Zhi County, "This is Lord Song of Song Zhi County, Guangde County, who is personally responsible for solving this case." β
The general judge looked Song Zhixian up and down, and shook his head: "You may be mistaken, I know the ...... of Song Zhixian" Song Zhixian slowly tore off the mask covering his face, revealing his true face. He saluted the general judge and said, "Humble staff, see Lord General Judge." "The general judgment is a six-grade official, so the following official etiquette of Song Zhixian is seen.
The general judge was taken aback, and said politely: "Sure enough, it's Lord Song of Song Zhi County, why are you dressed like this?" Turned around and looked at Yang Qiuchi, "I don't know if this is ......"
Song Zhixian explained: "For the case of Jin Keying's murder in Guangde County, the lowly and inferior people came to Drunken Ying Lou Ji to check the clues, for, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the murderer, Cairu, dressed like this, I didn't expect to meet Wang Tongzhi and be killed." "Introduced to Yang Qiuchi Dao, "This is my Guang, Yang Qiuchi Yang Guan, the supervisor of Guangde County Prison." β
Yang Qiuchi bowed his hand. Hearing Song Zhixian say this, Tong Ju and the others suddenly realized and hurriedly returned the salute.
The fact that a small cell head in Guangde County even solved a big case has long been spread all over Ning Guofu, everyone has already heard of it, but I didn't expect that this young man in front of him is the magical cell head, knowing that he has a different relationship with the new deputy of Yingtianfu Qianhu Ma Duma, no wonder Niu Baihu is so in awe of him, it seems that it is the reason for Ma Du Ma. They didn't know that Yang Qiuchi was now the envoy of the Jinyi Guard.
Yang Qiuchi continued to ask Wang Fushun: "You killed Jin Keying, right?" To tell you honestly, the old bustard and others in Zuiyinglou have already told us about you not being able to take a concubine and threatening to kill Miss Jin Keying. You'd better be honest, lest your flesh suffer! β
Wang Fushun originally thought that he could conceal the killing of Jin Keying, but now it seems that his own affairs are well understood. It is better to be honest and avoid suffering immediate losses, and strive for a good attitude, maybe you can get a lenient treatment in the future.
Although the investigative organs' method of interrogation, which is true and false, false and real, is simple, it can often produce immediate results because it captures the psychology of criminals. The psychological defense of criminals often collapses when they think that the other party has understood everything.
Wang Fushun thinks like this now, since everyone knows it, killing Wang Tongzhi is already a capital crime anyway, and it doesn't matter much whether he confesses to killing Jin Keying or not, if he doesn't confess, I'm afraid the Jinyi guards won't let him go, and this pain is really inevitable.
Wang Fushun had no choice but to say: "It's a small move." Two years ago, the villain coveted Miss Jin's beauty and wanted to take her as a concubine, but Miss Jin rejected her in public, and I beat her in a fit of anger. Later, she didn't even want to meet me, and the bustard couldn't do anything about her. I was mad, so I asked my men to kill the golden girl......"
"What's that guy's name? Where is it now? β
"His name is Wu Xiang, and his nickname is Mule. I don't know where he's gone now. β
"You go on first."
Wang Fushun continued: "I gave the mule seventy taels of silver, asked him to kill Jin Keying, and ran to Yingtianfu to wait for news. After waiting for almost a month, the mule came to tell me that he had killed Jin Keying and that his body had been destroyed. I was relieved and scared, so I told my brother Wang Tongzhi about it. β
"He was very angry and scolded me, saying that he, as a fellow intellectual, must not hide it from me and wanted to arrest me. I knelt down and begged bitterly, but my brother reluctantly agreed to hide it for me for the sake of his own brother. As soon as we discussed, we felt that many people knew that I had a grudge against Miss Jin, and that this matter would soon suspect me, so my brother told me to hide, and I ran away to the northeast. β
"Some time ago, my brother wrote to me that no one had been investigating the matter. I was homesick and ventured back, staying at my brother's house all the time. I heard that Jin Keying's killing had really not been revealed, and it seemed that the mule had hidden the body well, so I felt at ease. β
"This morning, my brother Wang Tongzhi suddenly sent someone to call me from my home to the yamen and told me that Jinyiwei was investigating this matter. As soon as I heard this, I panicked, Jin Yiwei intervened in this matter, and there was no place for me at the end of the day. β
"I was about to run, but my brother stopped me. He said that the old bustard of the drunken Yinglou is estimated to confess this matter, and the Jinyiwei will soon find here, since the Jinyiwei intervenes, I can't escape. So he decided to send me to surrender to Jinyiwei. said that only in this way can he keep his official position, and only if his official position is kept, spending money and activities outside, maybe he can save my life. β
"Of course I didn't agree, we quarreled, he wanted to go out and call someone to arrest me, and in a hurry, I picked up the paper cutter on the desk and stabbed him. When I was done, I found blood on my feet, so I wiped it with my own sweat towel, threw it away, and then secretly ran back to get my things and prepared to escape, but I didn't expect you to catch me so quickly. β
Yang Qiuchi secretly rejoiced, thanks to the little black dog following, otherwise, it would be really difficult to guess that Wang Tongzhi's younger brother killed him at once.
Judging from Wang Fushun's confession, this is a crime with a sudden surname, Wang Tongzhi in order to keep his official position, so that he can spend money on activities in the future and save his younger brother's life, so he decided to kill his relatives in righteousness, and was about to arrest people. Most of these sudden surname crimes are irrational and incomprehensible under normal circumstances.
From this point of view, this king knows that he can kill his relatives righteously, and no matter what the purpose is, he can be regarded as a relatively upright person. Yang Qiuchi regretted that he had been too strict with him before.
Yang Qiuchi asked, "Where is that guy called Mule of yours now?" Or is there anyone who might know where he is? β
"I really don't know, after he ran to Ying Tianfu to tell me that he killed Jin Keying, I absconded that day, and I haven't heard from him since. I asked my brother when I came back this time, but he didn't know. β
"And where did he live when he was a buddy?"
"Staying at his sister-in-law's house." Wang Fushun said the address of Wu Xiang's sister-in-law's house.
It's been more than two years, and I don't know if Wu Xiang is still at his sister-in-law's house, maybe like Wang Fushun, he has absconded. No matter what, you have to go and see, even if Wu Xiang escapes, as long as he can find his sister-in-law, he can ask for some useful information, which can narrow down the scope and provide convenience for the sea fishing king Fushun.
The magistrate made a record, signed and detained Wang Fushun, and then put him in the prefect's prison.
Yang Qiuchi and the others were led by Niu Baihu and rushed to Wu Xiang's sister-in-law's house.
It's an exclusive courtyard with the door bolted from the inside. Jin Yiwei is experienced in arresting criminals, and without instructions, he quietly surrounded the entire courtyard. Wait for the order to arrest someone.
Niu Baihu waved his hand, and the two burly brocade-clothed guards slammed the door again, this time with only two clicks, and the door was slammed open. The brocade guards rushed into the room with embroidered spring knives in their hands.
"Mom~!" A woman screamed in the room, and another man's voice said, "What are you going to do?" β
After the brocade guards rushed in, Song Yun'er pulled Song Qing and rushed into the room before Yang Qiuchi and them, wanting to see the excitement, but as soon as the two of them rushed in, they immediately escaped screaming, and ran until they reached the gate of the courtyard before standing, their faces flushed.
Yang Qiuchi asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" What happened? β
Song Yun'er took a sip with a red face and said, "You can go in and see for yourself." β
Yang Qiuchi and the others entered the inner room suspiciously, and only then did they know the reason why the pair of little girls ran out. I saw that the big red quilt on the kang was lifted to the side, and a pair of men and women were pressed down on the kang naked by the brocade guards, and they were being tied with hemp rope.
The man was in his twenties, muscular, relatively strong, and his face turned pale with fright, and he kept asking what was going on. The woman looked a little older, about thirty years old, with snow-white skin and a pair of large and slightly drooping ** on her chest, swaying with the twisting of her body.
It turned out that the family was running errands in bed, and the brocade guards suddenly broke in. The two didn't even have time to take a piece of clothing to cover their shame, so they were tied. Yang Qiuchi scolded with a smile: "What kind of fame, let the family wear clothes and then tie them up." β
The brocade guards are not so kind, they arrest criminals, thinking more about the respect for the rights of criminals, but quickly subduing suspects, so as to ensure their own safety to the greatest extent.
When Yang Qiuchi said this, the brocade guards had already tied up the two of them, and it would be troublesome to loosen them again, but this little supervisor couldn't help but listen to his words, but they also had a way, took the robes of the two people next to them, draped them on the two of them, tied them with belts, covered their bodies, and then ripped the two off the bed, and one of them kicked and knelt on the ground.
Of course, these two people knew that it was Jinyiwei who captured them, and who didn't know Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty? The two looked at Yang Qiuchi and them in panic.
"You are Wu Xiang, nicknamed Mule?" Yang Qiuchi asked the man.
The man nodded.
Caught the right person, Yang Qiuchi breathed a sigh of relief and asked the woman, "Who are you?" Wu Xiang's daughter-in-law? At this moment, although the woman's body was already covered by her dress, the pair of huge and slightly drooping ** that she had just seen still shook in Yang Qiuchi's mind.
The woman trembled with fear, and could not speak. A brocade guard next to her kicked her: "Little girl, don't hurry up and answer the adult's question!" β
The woman's mother screamed miserably, was kicked to the ground, moaned and stammered, "Folk woman Wu Mao, yes...... Be...... It's Wu Xiang's...... Sister-in-law ......"
Yes? Yang Qiuchi, Song Zhixian and others were stunned - uncle and sister-in-law were annihilated? was also caught in bed by the brocade guard!
Yang Qiuchi stepped forward, kicked Wu Xiang, and scolded: "You fuck, even your sister-in-law, you are still not human?" Before Wu Xiang could speak, the Mao family had already rushed to say: "My man ......, my man ...... It's dead. β
Oh? Now Yang Qiuchi understood, it turned out that Wu Xiang's brother died, and Wu Xiang had an affair with his sister-in-law, what kind of system is this! Even if they truly love each other, it will be fruitless. Uncle and sister-in-law get married, even in the current society, it is not possible, although the law does not prohibit it, but the vast majority of the people are unacceptable, let alone in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the pig cage will be invaded.
In fact, after the death of the elder brother, the custom of remarrying the sister-in-law to the younger brother exists in the nomadic people of northern China, and has even formed a tradition. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Han Gaozu and Xiongnu Shan Yu were called brothers. After Gaozu's death, Mao Dunshan Yu once wrote to Empress LΓΌ in accordance with their custom, asking Empress LΓΌ to marry her. Yuan Dynasty "Great Yuan Tong Rules? There are many examples of uncles taking in sisters-in-law in the "Household Order".
However, the marriage of uncle and sister-in-law, in the traditional customs of the Han nationality, belongs to the annihilation of relatives, which is not tolerated by the common ethics. Influenced by Han culture, this behavior was gradually banned in the late Yuan Dynasty. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the uncle's acceptance of sister-in-law was re-prohibited in the Ming Dynasty law, and the "Da Ming Law" stipulated: "If the brother dies and accepts the sister-in-law, the younger brother dies and accepts the younger brother-in-law, each hangs." β
Song Zhixian also scolded: "What a system! It's just, it's hurtful, it's bad, it's bad! β
