Chapter 231: Who is the person in the coffin?

When the lid of the coffin was about to be revealed, Su Xianrong had already arrived at the grave of Dong Yunheng's daughter with a group of officials, and Su Xianrong not only brought Zeng Qiang, but also Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixi.

Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixiao brought another strange woman.

There were eight of them, and they took large knives, and immediately surrounded the graveyard, and kept their eyes fixed on the coffin inside the cemetery, waiting for the coffin to be unearthed.

Liu Tianxiong walked up to Song Ruilong and said, "Crayfish, how are you checking here?" ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "The fox's tail is about to be revealed." Tell me first, how did you check Pinghe Lane, Pingyun Road? ”

Liu Tianxiong glanced at the woman with her head bowed behind him, and said: "I was in that alley, and I checked for a long time, but when I found Dong Xiuzhu, he said that his husband had passed away, and he had been widowed for many years, and he had no relationship with any man. However, Bi Xiao and I visited a few more houses, and according to the neighbors there, this Dong Xiuzhu was a very unscrupulous woman, and every time her husband went out to do business, she would sleep with different men. She also said that there was a monk who often went in and out of her house, and when others asked her what was going on with the monk, she only said that her husband was dead, and she was looking for a monk to spend her soul. However, Dong Xiuzhu strongly opposed these things, saying that she had never been a monk in her home. ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "You and Bi Xiao did a good job this time. There must be something wrong with that Dong Xiuzhu. If the person that Monk Qingxiu went to see yesterday was Dong Xiuzhu, then Dong Xiuzhu must know where the monk went next. ”

The coffin was tied with rope by the four family members and carried to a piece of grass.

At this time, the sun's rays were already very faint, but the black coffin on the green grass was very conspicuous.

After Song Ruilong sent two officials to open the lid of the coffin, everyone looked and saw a woman in a shroud lying in the coffin.

Song Ruilong called Dong Yunheng over and said, "Did you say that the woman in the coffin is your daughter?" ”

Dong Yunheng didn't even look at it, so he said: "It's not Xiaomin's daughter who is lying there, whose daughter can it be?" ”

Song Ruilong asked Liu Tianxiong to bring Dong Xiuzhu over, and after letting her see it, Song Ruilong asked, "Do you know the woman in this coffin?" ”

Dong Xiuzhu shook her head and said, "Who is this woman?" The women don't know, they have never seen it. ”

Song Ruilong looked at Dong Xiuzhu and said, "Are you Dong Yunheng's eldest daughter or second daughter?" ”

Dong Xiuzhu bowed her head and said, "The woman is the eldest daughter. ”

Song Ruilong glared at Dong Yunheng with some anger, and said: "Bold Dong Yunheng, you dare to deceive the county repeatedly, are you easy to bully in the county?" See for yourself, the deceased is almost the same age as you, and you dare to say that the deceased is your daughter? ”

Dong Yunheng immediately knelt in front of Song Ruilong and said, "The adults atone for their sins, and the little people know their sins." The woman lying in the coffin was indeed not Xiaomin's daughter Dong Xiuhong. She was bought by Xiaomin for a thousand taels of silver from the tomb robber Wu Tuntian. ”

Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "Tell me honestly who is the woman lying in the coffin in this county?"

Dong Yunheng said helplessly: "Who is that woman, Xiaomin really doesn't know, that woman was bought by Xiaomin from Wu Tongtian for a thousand taels of silver."

Song Ruilong glanced at Zeng Qiang's body and said, "Zeng Qiang, come here, see who the woman lying in this coffin is?"

Zeng Qiang looked at it and said in surprise: "Ah! Adult, she is Xiaomin's wife Duan Xiu'e. But how could she die here? ”

Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "If you want to investigate this case clearly, you still need to arrest Wu Tongtian."

Song Ruilong instructed Liu Tianxiong and Wei Bixiao, and said: "Master, Bixiao, that Wu Tuntian's light skills are extremely high, and he is only afraid of some kung fu on his body, you two ambushed at Li Zhendong's house, and helped Wang Yu and Zhang Shun arrest Wu Tongtian."

Wei Bixiao readily agreed, and said, "Brother Song, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

Song Ruilong also instructed the officials to carry Duan Xiu'e's body back to the morgue in the yamen, waiting for further examination, and then brought all the people involved in the case back to the yamen.

Song Ruilong put on his official uniform, walked to the back of the public case, and after a burst of "mighty" sounds, he picked up the shocking wood and slapped the table, and said, "Take someone to the court."

Two officials took Dong Yunheng to the public court, and with a gentle send-off, Dong Yunheng leaned forward and knelt in front of Song Ruilong, saying, "The criminal Dong Yunheng has seen the magistrate."

Song Ruilong asked Su Xianrong to replace Liu Tianxiong's position as master and record his confession.

Song Ruilong glared at Dong Yunheng and said, "Honestly explain the female corpse lying in the coffin, what is going on?"

Dong Yunheng said tremblingly: "This ...... This little people don't know what's going on? How could Xiaomin's daughter Dong Xiuhong disappear, Xiaomin really doesn't know! ”

Song Ruilong said, "Okay, you don't know, then let your housekeeper Liu Wang help you make it clear." ”

Liu Wang knelt in the public hall and kowtowed to Song Ruilong, Song Ruilong said: "Liu Wang, your lord bought and sold corpses privately, this is a big crime of killing the head, if you don't want to be sentenced with your lord, just tell me honestly what happened last night, your young lady knows where Xiuhong is now."

After listening to Song Ruilong's words, Liu Wang said: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaomin, it is all my master's idea."

Song Ruilong said: "As long as you tell the truth, this county will not hold you responsible."

Liu Wang's heart relaxed a little and said, "My lord, it's like this. My lord has a daughter named Xiuhong, who was married to Liu Quanfu from Zixia Lane, Pingyun Road, a wealthy family, ten years ago. That Liu Quanfu is infatuated with Dong Xiuhong, and Dong Xiuhong is also a non-gentleman who does not marry Liu Quanfu. However, two years ago, when Liu Quanfu followed his father Liu Jianmin to do business in the south, the business lost money, and Liu Jianmin died of depression. After my lord heard the news, he never told Dong Xiuhong, and persuaded her to remarry. Dong Xiuhong is a person who values love and righteousness, and has always refused to remarry others. "It wasn't until the beginning of March this year that Dong Xiuhong agreed to remarry Nangong Xiang, the owner of Fengyun Department Store. The Nangong family has a big business and great influence, and my lord is naturally a hundred willing, but my young lady Dong Xiuhong is a hundred unwilling. Today was supposed to be a big day for my young lady to marry Nangong Xiang, but I didn't expect Liu Quanfu to come back last night. The clothes he was wearing were tattered, and there was not a penny in his pocket, so my lord kicked him out, but who knew that this kid actually climbed over the wall to my young lady's house, and then, my young lady eloped with Liu Quanfu. ”
