Chapter 35: Confession is also a strategy
"It's not about the young lady, the surname Du was killed by the old slave, and it's all the sins of the old slave."
The case seems to have sprung up all of a sudden.
However, Cheng Zhong sighed and said, "Originally, I also hoped that you, an old slave, would be the obstruction. But ......" Cheng Zhong shook his head helplessly and said, "Miss Jingxin said that all orchids must be handled by her own hands, so Du Chongde cannot die in your hands." But you are not exempt from your guilt! Du Chongde's body was heavy, and I was afraid that the Meditation Girl alone would not be able to abandon his body into the river of fat powder at night. In order to cover up Du Chongde's identity, you also stripped him off, but you didn't expect that it was this point that exposed the fact that Du Chongde died unexpectedly, which can be regarded as a manifestation of heavenly justice, and retribution is unpleasant. ”
Cheng Zhong was completely immersed in the case, and did not even care about Hai Rui's authority, and directly determined the nature of the case, but fortunately, Hai Rui did not care.
"Cheng Gongzi is really discerning, and even a sentence that Jing Xin said casually can become the basis for Gongzi to judge the case, and he will worship quietly." The quiet girl saluted Cheng Zhongying again, and then sighed again. Cheng Zhong had no way of knowing the meaning contained in the meditation sigh, and he didn't want to distinguish it.
"Young Master Xu! Xu Gongzi! Save Miss, she's doing it for you! Granny Wu fell at Xu Kun's feet, crying and communicating. If it weren't for the sake of being able to marry Xu Kun, Jingxin would not have killed Du Chongde to prevent future troubles, so Granny Wu's words also made some sense.
Xu Kun's face faintly showed a look of struggle, and then looked at Hai Rui with some embarrassment: "Lord Hai, I know that the sin of meditation is unforgivable, but ......"
Hai Rui waved his hand and said, "Second son, you have been out for a long time, Mrs. Tai should be in a hurry, go back early." ”
Although Hai Rui's words were vague, the meaning was obvious, that is, to keep Xu Kun out of the matter.
Xu Kun looked at Hai Rui, and then at the dazed and helpless meditation, although he couldn't bear it, he finally stomped his feet and turned to leave.
"Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi, you can't go, you can save my young lady, it's not a pity for the old slave to die, but the young lady is infatuated with you." Granny Wu cried hoarsely.
"Granny Wu, don't beg him." At this time, the meditation heart is as dead as water, and the originally smooth face is faintly revealing a gray atmosphere like death at this time.
"This qiē is all meditation and self-inflicted blame, and no one else is to blame." Jingxin said calmly, turned to Cheng Zhong through him, and bowed to Yingying: "Cheng Gongzi, Jingxin is glad to know you, it is you who let Jingxin know that he is lost, and also let Jingxin understand what is the most valuable." It's a pity that it's too late. ”
Cheng Zhong's heart passed a trace of unbearable, a flower-like woman was pushed to a dead end by herself.
"Lord Hai, can you give me time to meditate on a stick of incense, and then I will go to the county Yafu Law with you to confess your guilt."
Cheng Zhong's heart moved, and he was about to stop it, but he saw Hai Rui nodding slightly and said, "Girl, please." Then he turned around, and no one could see his expression.
The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, but meditation did not show up. Hai Rui didn't let Zhou Huan go to lock people, and Cheng Zhong didn't remind him, time seemed to stand still.
After a while, Granny Wu suddenly came to her senses, she screamed "Miss" sadly, stumbled into Miss Jingxin's boudoir, and then made a loud noise.
Hai Rui, Cheng Zhong and others walked into the boudoir at this time, and the Jingxin girl had already killed herself, and she used the fragments of the white porcelain flower pot that killed Du Chongde that day. Maybe meditation is to repay the debt to Du Chongde in this way?
Although the truth of Du Chongde's case was revealed in just a few days, none of Hai Rui, Cheng Zhong and others who experienced this qiē felt relaxed and happy, but instead felt a sense of suffocation in their hearts.
Night had fallen, and the river had begun to become lively as usual, and it had not changed at all because of the murder that had just occurred. The gloomy death of meditation is like a leaf falling, not even a ripple rises, this is the industry that ushers in the send-off, come to a person, go to a person, who cares? Inexplicably, Cheng Zhong actually had an illusion of sympathy with Jingxin.
In the bright lights, the prodigal son who was looking for and the prostitutes who were waiting for him flirted and scolded, this scene that should have made Cheng Zhong's face red and hot, but at this time, it seemed to have become a picture scroll in Cheng Zhong's eyes, and he shuttled through the picture scroll, but he was out of it!
It was easy to pass through the hustle and bustle of the Fat River, and the group breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Jiangbo did not go home, he was also a witness to this case, and he still needed to go to the yamen to make a confession.
In order not to worry Xie Mengting and Liu, Hai Rui sent someone to inform the two families.
When the processing stopped, it was already late at night. Xie Jiangbo originally invited Cheng Zhong to Xie Mansion to rest, but Hai Rui left Cheng Zhong in the county office, faintly, Cheng Zhong felt that Hai Rui didn't want to get too close to Xie Jiangbo.
Hai Rui's mother and wife had already rested, and it was inconvenient to disturb them, so Hai Rui accompanied Cheng Zhong in the wing room of the second hall for the time being. Fortunately, the bedding in the wing room is prepared all year round, and if you light a pot of charcoal fire, you don't feel cold.
"Cheng Zhong, when did you start suspecting that Jing Xin was the murderer of Du Chongde?" Hai Rui flicked the charcoal in the charcoal basin with fire tongs, and asked casually.
Coming, coming, Cheng Zhong had long thought that Hai Rui would ask this question.
At that time, in the meditation fast, Cheng Zhong told a big lie, saying that he was visiting the kiln and prostituting as following the teacher's instructions to investigate the case, although it was reasonable and well-founded, almost seamless, and there were no loopholes.
But Cheng Zhong knows that Hai Rui is not a child, let alone an idiot, can sit in the position of the magistrate, how can Hai Rui be a simple person? If Cheng Zhong thinks that his lies can deceive Hai Rui, it is naïve!
Hai Rui didn't demolish him, but he didn't want to make him lose face in front of everyone. Now there are only two masters and apprentices here, if Cheng Zhong insists on the previous lie, Hai Rui will not pursue it, but he will inevitably feel a little dislike and wariness of him in his heart. After all, no one dares to trust 100% a person who tells a lie in front of them.
Therefore, Cheng Zhong has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to "confess" to Hai Rui and be lenient, and now this opportunity has finally come! In fact, even if Hai Rui didn't ask him, he would find other opportunities to take the initiative to confess.
Cheng Zhong stood up and knelt down in front of Hai Rui with a pop.
Hai Rui didn't even have the slightest expression of surprise on his face, let alone stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Zhong up.
"If the student is wrong, please punish the teacher!" Cheng Zhong said in a sad tone.
"Oh?" Hai Rui said: "You solved the case of Du Chongde's murder, what is wrong? ”
"Teacher, I didn't go to Fat Fan River to investigate the case at all, but I saw the orchids in the room full of meditation by chance, and I thought of the orchid painting scroll in Du Chongde's room, so I began to doubt meditation...... "Cheng Zhong said to Hai Rui this afternoon.
However, he hid the details of Xie Jiangbo's gift of fifty taels of silver tickets that he refused, and repeatedly invited him to see the details of the fat powder river. In this way, even if he can better choose himself, and even add points to himself, but he blackmailed Xie Jiangbo, if he told these two details as they were, then Hai Rui's impression of Xie Jiangbo would definitely be very bad, which would be very unfavorable to Cheng Zhong's future relationship with Xie Jiangbo.
After listening to Cheng Zhong's words, Hai Rui's face finally looked good, and Cheng Zhong was secretly relieved, this trick is not very clever, but because of the concealment of age, even Hai Rui didn't realize it.
"Zhong'er, you are still young, don't be consumed too much energy by the love between men and women." Hai Rui solemnly admonished.
"Yes, Cheng Zhong strictly follows the teachings of his teacher." Cheng Zhong hurriedly replied.
"I believe in you." Hai Rui said: "By the way, how have you thought about the matter of classic history? ”
