Chapter 41 Tacitly
When he leaned over in front of the coffin to examine the bones, Zheng Wen sat there absentmindedly drinking tea, looking a little nervous. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.
Ever since he received the picture behind Boss Feng, he guessed that there was no statue of a golden and jade maid in the coffin, it was just an excuse for Boss Feng to find a way to open Qi Xiangchen's coffin.
So far, only the person lying in the coffin is Feng Tian instead of Qi Xiangchen, then the situation in front of him can end well, otherwise it will be a farce in his opinion.
Although he didn't know the inspection of the coffin now, he already believed in his heart that the person in the coffin was Feng Tian, and the reason was very simple, with the strength of the Qi family, it was easy to complete this transfer.
The people at the scene also realized that something seemed to be wrong, and gradually quieted down, looking curiously at the man who was busy working next to the coffin.
"My lord, this skeleton is no different from an ordinary person." After a long time, after checking the bones in the coffin, he reported to Zheng Wen in a loud voice, "It's just that he has an extra toe bone on the thumb of his left foot, and he has an extra toe before his death!" β
Hearing this, Zheng Wen's hanging heart finally let go, and his face showed a relaxed look, and the overall situation was decided.
Qi Degui was stunned at first, and then his face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at Boss Feng on the side with a shocked expression, he finally understood why Boss Feng said that he murdered Feng Tian, it turned out that the person who died for Qi Xiangchen was Feng Tian.
"Qi Degui, what's going on?" Zheng Wen put down the teacup in his hand, sneered, and shouted loudly.
Qi Degui knew that the big thing was not good, and cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, just now he and his wife had already signed the confession, and it was too late to change his words to say that Qi Xiangchen had six fingers on his left foot, and many people knew that Qi Xiangchen's left foot was normal and did not have six fingers.
"Impossible, the dog's left foot is normal, how can it have six toes?" However, Qi Degui has been in the society for so many years, and he has rich experience, and he quickly came back to his senses, and he knew that he could never admit that he knew about this matter, otherwise the Qi family would be ruined, so he pretended to be shocked and said.
Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, it seems that Qi Degui really deserves to be the richest man in De'an County, and he thought of a countermeasure so quickly, although this countermeasure is a little pale and weak, and even ridiculous, but it is better than admitting that he knows, and it also leaves a way back for him.
"Go and see if there are six fingers on the bones!" Zheng Wen's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know that Qi Degui was quibbling, and said quietly.
"How...... How so? Qi Degui walked quickly to the coffin, and saw that there was indeed an extra phalange bone on the left thumb of the corpse, and suddenly sighed in his heart, and after a flustered feeling, he deliberately pretended to be surprised and looked at Zheng Wen, "My lord, the person in here is not a dog!" β
"Are you sure it's not Qi Xiangchen?" Seeing that Qi Degui reacted so quickly, Zheng Wen asked after sneering. The update is the fastest and most stable
"Sure, Xiaomin is sure that the dog's left foot is normal and does not have six fingers, so the person in this is not a dog." Qi Degui was frightened by the sneer on the corner of Zheng Wen's mouth, and quickly nodded, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, he was just quibbling now, he couldn't stand scrutiny at all, and his current life was completely in Zheng Wen's hands.
"Come on, take down Bai Yong, the official of the torture room, and the cadres of the prison department to this official!" Zheng Wenyan's face turned cold when he heard this, and he glanced at Bai Yong, who was pale and trembling in the crowd standing on the side, and shouted at the head of the team, "If you let them run away, you just wait to eat the board!" β
The head of the arresting squad did not dare to slack off, so he let Bai Yong be taken down on the spot, and then led his subordinates to hurry to the county government to arrest people.
At this point, the matter is already very clear, someone secretly transferred Qi Xiangchen in prison, then Bai Yong, the official of the torture room, bore the brunt and could not escape the blame, so Zheng Wen wanted to take them down for interrogation.
"Master Li, there are many people here, are we going back to the government to try this case." Zheng Wen didn't mean to take Qi Degui, with the friendship between the two, he didn't want to kill them all, and if the Qi family fell, it would not be beneficial to him or De'an County, so he said to Li Yuntian that he wanted to go back and discuss with Li Yuntian in the long run.
Li Yuntian naturally knew Zheng Wen's difficulties, and after this incident, there would be an earthquake in the county government and business circles in De'an County, so he must want to control the situation, otherwise De'an County would fall into turmoil and make people panic.
So he got up and made a gesture of please, and left side by side with Zheng Wen.
As for Boss Feng, who caused this "trouble", both of them ignored him, and were taken back to the county government for detention by the officials and Qi Degui.
In the crowd, Chen Ningning frowned slightly, looking thoughtfully at the backs of Li Yuntian and Zheng Wen.
She originally thought that the two would take Qi Degui down and punish him resolutely, and then find out the case in public, but the two did not do so, is there any explanation in this?
For the sudden scene, the onlookers exploded and discussed there with a surprised expression, no one could have imagined that things would take such a tortuous turn.
"Master Li, today's events are incredible, I'm on pins and needles now!" When he came to the Yahou Hall of De'an County, Zheng Wenping retreated left and right, and said to Li Yuntian with a wry smile, he would never have thought that the situation would develop to this point.
"Lord Zheng, I only care about how Feng Tian got from the Hukou County prison to Qi Xiangchen's coffin, and as for the affairs of De'an County, I hope Lord Zheng will bother more." Li Yuntian saw Zheng Wen complaining to him, knowing that he wanted to discuss with him how to prosecute the situation of the case, he smiled slightly and said.
"Don't worry, Lord Li, even if you pry it down, you have to pry Bai Yong's mouth open and give Lord Li a satisfactory explanation!" Zheng Wen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, didn't this mean that Li Yuntian would not intervene in the affairs of the Qi family, so he swore to him that he had a package ticket, and his good impression of Li Yuntian doubled in his heart.
"Lord Zheng, I'm hungry after a busy day, I don't know what famous dishes you have in De'an." Li Yuntian patted his lower abdomen and said with a smile, he is the magistrate of Hukou County, and there is absolutely no need to meddle in the affairs of De'an County, otherwise he will commit a taboo in officialdom, and no one will like a colleague who stretches his hand too long.
"This is natural, Lord Li is rare to come once, and he will naturally fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Zheng Wen also laughed, laughing very easily, since Li Yuntian has already expressed his attitude, then the next step is to see how the Qi family goes.
That night, Zheng Wen was in the best restaurant in De'an County to pick up Li Yuntian's dust, and a few days ago, because they were busy with the case, where did the two of them have the heart to eat.
Zheng Wen characterized this wine party as the nature of a family banquet, so Chen Ningning and his wife also attended, which made the atmosphere of the scene much warmer and more relaxed.
Halfway through the wine game, someone sent Bai Yong's confession, which clearly indicated that he was Feng Tian found by Lu Yunshan, the former official of the torture room in TongguΓ² Hukou County, and then asked Qi Xiangchen to be exchanged from the prison.
Li Yuntian waited for Bai Yong's confession, and he immediately wrote a letter and asked Luo Ming to arrange for someone to return to the county seat of Hukou County overnight to inform Feng Hu, the head of the arrest team, to arrest Lu Yunshan and other relevant people involved in the case.
Luo Ming hesitated after taking the letter from Li Yuntian's hand, wanting to remind Li Yuntian that Feng Hu and Lu Yunshan were together, and Feng Hu was likely to let Lu Yunshan go, but he finally held back and didn't say anything, after all, this was not suitable for him to speak.
Looking at Li Yuntian and Zheng Wen who were talking and laughing at the wine table, Chen Ningning suddenly sighed infinitely in her heart, she didn't expect such a big thing to happen, and the two of them still had the leisure and elegance to drink here, it seems that she needs to learn a lot more.
At dawn, Hukou County, the residence of Luyun Mountain.
In the study, Lu Yunshan sat at the desk and stared blankly ahead, his eyes blank and depressed.
Two big men in civilian clothes stood guard outside the study, holding the handle of the waist knife hanging from their waists.
Just when Lu Yunshan was in a daze, there was a creak, the door opened, and Zhang Youde and Feng Hu walked in one after the other.
"Uncle Zhang, for the sake of me having followed you for so many years, before and after the saddle, you save me and spare my life, I promise to take my family away and fly away to a place where no one can find me." Seeing Zhang Youde, Lu Yunshan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of him with a plop.
"Yunshan, it's not that Uncle Zhang is ruthless, you will have no way out as soon as the wanted warrant is issued." Zhang Youde glanced at Lu Yunshan and said expressionlessly, "The affairs of the torture room have been through your hands over the years, if you are caught, can you have the confidence to withstand those tortures in the prison?" β
"Uncle Zhang, I'll go alone, I'll change my name and surname, so that they will never find me, and I will never reveal what happened before." Lu Yunshan's face changed, he had naturally known the cruelty of the torture in the prison for many years in the torture room, and then pleaded bitterly.
"Yunshan, if you leave, how can we explain to Lord Zhixian? How did this matter end? You don't know that only the dead can keep secrets forever, right? Zhang Youde glanced at Lu Yunshan coldly, walked towards the door, and said as he walked, "Don't worry, I will take care of your family after you leave." β
When Lu Yunshan heard this, he suddenly sat down on the ground weakly, his face was like ashes, no one wanted to die, but he knew too many things and had to die, only in this way could his family be safe.
After a long time, Lu Yunshan gritted his teeth, came to the desk and wrote out the matter of Feng Laosan and Feng Tian as it was, signed and painted it, hung the rope on the beam of the room, and hanged himself.
A night is a long time, more than six hours, and it is very short, that is, the time to sleep, but it is enough to happen.
That night, not only Lu Yunshan died, but the chief housekeeper of the Qi family also committed suicide by taking poison after surrendering.
With the surrender of the Qi family's big housekeeper, the mastermind of the Qi family's bribery of Bai Yong's plan to transfer the contract also surfaced, he is the Qi family's second uncle Qi Degui who died last year, and the intermediary between Qi Degui's second uncle and Bai Yong is the Qi family's big housekeeper.
Qi Degui has a noble status in De'an County, so it is naturally impossible to personally discuss the matter of dropping the bag with Bai Yong, and all the things are done by the chief housekeeper of the Qi family.
According to the confession of the chief housekeeper of the Qi family, Qi Degui's second uncle has doted on Qi Xiangchen since he was a child, so he did this behind everyone's back, and the people of the Qi family, including Qi Degui, did not know.
