Chapter 43: The Morgue of Horror
Zhao Ping sneered and said, "Since the adult has broken so clearly, what else do you need me to explain?" That's right, I killed Ning Tianxiang. ”
Zhang Meixian said angrily: "Did you kill Miss Xiang and Hou San that day?"
Zhao Ping nodded and said, "Yes!" Hou San happened to be watching from the rooftop when I killed Ning Tianxiang, if I didn't kill him, my crime would soon be known. So I have to kill Hou San. As for Zhou Tianxiang, she is the same as Hou San, but she has seen things that she shouldn't dare to see. When I killed Hou San, Zhou Tianxiang was next to me. I saw that she was so beautiful that I couldn't bear to kill her with a knife, so I thought...... I didn't expect this little slut to be a fierce girl, no matter how I warned her, she just didn't cooperate, and in desperation, I had to strangle her to death. Actually, you know, even if I get Zhou Tianxiang's person, I will kill her, I can't let her live, otherwise ......"
Zhang Meixian said for him: "Otherwise, your crime will soon be discovered." You're killing people! For your own selfish desires, for the Yuexiang Inn, you actually injured three lives in a row, you say, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
Zhang Meixian was so angry that she slapped the table.
Zhao Ping said: "They forced it. I didn't want to kill Ning Tianxiang, but he said that he would divorce his wife and marry again, marry a new wife, and if he couldn't get pregnant, he would raise someone else's child, and he said that he couldn't have no offspring, otherwise his family business would be inherited by no one. I am not reconciled, I have followed him for more than 20 years, going south and north, going out to buy goods, all I do, and he himself is sitting in Yuexiang Inn to enjoy it. He may have forgotten that if I hadn't fought for this life to save him from the robbers, how could he have his family business today? It was during that fight that a robber slashed a scar on my hand with a knife. ”
Zhao Ping sighed and said: "It's okay to suffer from this, but Ning Tianxiang doesn't treat me as a human being at all, he makes it difficult for me everywhere, and deducts my salary." What I can't stand the most is that he said, when he has a child, let me help his child take care of Yuexiang Inn as if he were helping him. It's just that I will be a slave to Ning Tianxiang, should I still be a slave to his son? So, I didn't do anything, I killed him. Kill him, and this Yuexiang Inn will be mine. ”
Song Ruilong said: "You are really whimsical, don't forget, if Ning Tianxiang's inn is not inherited, its property will be confiscated." You are also not eligible to inherit. ”
Song Ruilong said sharply: "Someone! The two murderers were escorted back to the yamen and put on death row, waiting for the execution after the autumn. ”
As soon as two officials touched Zhao Ping's arm, they were hit by Zhao Ping's two palms and flew out of the air, one hit the wall of the hall, and the other hit the pillar.
Zhao Ping sneered: "Song Ruilong, even if you know that this steward is the murderer, what can you do to me?" With you people, I'm afraid it's not that easy to catch me, right? ”
Before Song Ruilong could speak, Wei Bixiao rushed forward with a flute in his hand, Zhao Ping immediately stood up from the ground, pulled out a soft knife from his waist, and hit Wei Bixiao in one place.
Spicy Jiutian also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but as soon as his body stood up, he saw Su Xianrong walking in front of him.
The sword in Su Xianrong's hand hadn't been shot yet, and he said, "Your palm wind should be very powerful, don't you want to try it and just grab it?" ”
Spicy Jiutian shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't want to try." ”
When Spicy Jiutian said "I don't want to try", his right hand had already slapped Su Xianrong's chest. That palm, the palm wind was fierce, destroying stones and breaking iron, Song Ruilong was worried about Su Xianrong, but Su Xianrong's body had already flown to the back of La Jiutian, and before her body fell to the ground, a sword fell on La Jiutian's neck.
Su Xianrong turned his back to Spicy Jiutian and said, "If you dare to resist arrest again, this sword will cut off your neck." ”
Spicy Jiutian's palm shattered a table in the hall, and he originally wanted to make a second palm, but his second palm couldn't be hit anyway.
When the two officials chained the people of the Nine Heavens, Song Ruilong smiled at Su Xianrong, and then he became worried about Wei Bixiao outside the hall.
Song Ruilong's face changed and said, "It's not good." Zhao Ping's martial arts are much higher than those of Spicy Jiutian, and Zhao Ping's light skills and knife skills are good, especially his throat cutting knife, which is a must. ”
Everyone walked out of the hall and looked into the courtyard, only to see that Zhao Ping's people were already kneeling on the ground, but the knife in their hands was knocked down.
Su Xianrong's hanging heart was put down, and said, "Sister Bi Xiao, your flute technique seems to be getting more and more proficient. This Zhao Ping's martial arts are so high, we haven't opened our eyes yet, so you caught him. ”
When the two officials locked up Zhao Ping, Wei Bixiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't mention it, I was simply gambling with my life just now." I bet to see if his knife is fast or my flute is fast. If his knife is fast, then I will have a scar on my neck. If it was my flute fast, he would be hit in the chest by me and kneel to the ground. ”
Su Xianrong said happily: "Fortunately, you won this game." Su Xianrong was worried again: "Then what if you are as fast as he moves?" ”
Wei Bixiao smiled bitterly: "Then I will die with him." ”
Song Ruilong walked to Wei Bixiao's side with a smile and said, "You won't die with him." ”
Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong strangely and said, "How do you know they won't?" ”
Song Ruilong said: "You see, just now, Sister Bi Xiao used a trick to attack Zhao Ping's chest. And Zhao Ping's move was iron-blooded and cut his throat, attacking Bi Xiao's sister's throat. These two moves are killing moves, if Sister Bi Xiao is not sure to dodge Zhao Ping's knife, she will increase the power of You Long in an instant by a hundred times, and beat Zhao Ping's body ten zhang, so that Sister Bi Xiao will win the game. ”
Su Xianrong said: "I can't see that you still know so much about the number of martial arts paths. ”
Song Ruilong's mood relaxed a lot, and said, "Okay, let's go back to the hall first." ”
After Song Ruilong returned to the hall, he said something about the resistance of Spica Jiutian and Zhao Ping, and finally looked at those officials and said, "Someone! is still the same sentence, escort La Jiutian and Zhao Ping back to Ping'an County, put them on death row, and wait for the execution after the autumn. ”
When Spicy Jiutian was escorted away, he still shouted: "My lord, spare your life!" The villain is wronged! ”
Zhang Meixian said: "Are you wronged? You killed Liu Xiaodong, the shopkeeper, and stabbed a dagger on Ning Tianxiang's corpse, his motives for killing twice were obvious, so it was more than enough to sentence him to death. ”
After Tie Chong saw that Spicy Jiutian and Zhao Ping were escorted away, he said to Song Ruilong: "My lord, you let the people you ask your subordinates to find are outside, they have been listening to the judgment of the adult, and there is no doubt about the adult's judgment process. Now, why don't you invite them to the lobby? ”
Although Song Ruilong solved the case, his heart was not calm at all, in one day, so many people died in a row, although the real culprit was finally caught, no one would be comfortable.
Song Ruilong said with a heavy heart: "Let them in." ”
Liu Tianxiong also seemed to understand Song Ruilong's mood, he nodded and walked out of the hall with heavy steps.
After Liu Tianxiong brought Zhou Tianxiang's mother Huang Qiulian, Zhou Shicheng's second wife Wang Jinqiao, third wife Zhao Xuetao, and Zhou Tianxiang's lover Fu Bowen and others into the hall, those people all knelt in front of Song Ruilong with tears in pain.
Huang Qiulian sobbed a few times and said, "My lord, the woman already knows the truth of the case, thank you for finding the real murderer for my daughter." It's just that I pity my daughter, who is so young, and she lost her life like this. ”
Song Ruilong helped Huang Qiulian up with a heavy heart, and said, "Mrs. Zhou, please mourn and change." ”
Huang Qiulian slowly stood up and sobbed a few more times.
Song Ruilong walked up to Fu Bowen and said, "Fu Xiucai, are you guilty?" ”
Fu Bowen cried bitterly and said, "Xiaosheng is guilty. Xiaosheng should die, if Xiaosheng hadn't met with Miss Zhou in private, Xiangxiang wouldn't have died. I'm damned, it's all my damned, if I hadn't gone to a poetry date that night and arrived at Xiangxiang's boudoir earlier, I could still protect Xiangxiang. ”
Song Ruilong sighed: "It's good that you know your mistakes." You must know that Zhao Ping is an extremely vicious person, he has already killed people and killed red eyes, even if you were there at the time, it was just one more corpse. Therefore, you don't have to blame yourself for not being there. Also, as a showman, you have a meritorious reputation, and you should know etiquette, righteousness and shame, but you knowingly committed a crime, if the county reports this matter, I am afraid that your reputation will not be guaranteed. ”
Fu Bowen said bitterly: "Xiaosheng's sin is unforgivable, even if the adult picks up Xiaosheng's fame, Xiaosheng has no complaints, today Xiaosheng knelt in front of the adult, it is to seriously repent to the adult." ”
Song Ruilong said: "You don't have to repent to anyone, you should repent to yourself." The sage said: Only by cultivating one's self and cultivating one's personality can one rule the country and level the world. The county finally asks you, would you like to marry Miss Tianxiang as your wife? ”
Fu Bowen nodded and said, "Xiaosheng is willing." Xiao Sheng has privately agreed with Miss Zhou for three lives, and life and death will not be separated. The mountains are edgeless, the heavens and the earth are together, and they dare to be with the king. Now that Xiangxiang is away from Xiaosheng, it is reasonable for Xiaosheng to give up his life and go with her, and now, even if the adults don't say that Xiaosheng will marry Xiangxiang girl, Xiaosheng will be obliged to marry Xiangxiang girl. ”
Song Ruilong had a smile on his face and said, "Get up, you have to ask Miss Tianxiang's mother about this matter." ”
Fu Bowen didn't get up, he directly turned his body twice, knelt in front of Huang Qiulian, and said: "Auntie, Xiaosheng is infatuated with Xiangxiang, I hope that Aunt can fulfill Xiaosheng's request." After being born, he is the aunt's own son, and he is willing to serve his aunt's side. ”
Huang Qiulian lost her beloved daughter and was full of grief, now, her daughter is dead, and there are still people who are willing to marry her daughter, which can be regarded as finding a good home for her daughter, so she was excited and cried with Fu Bowen's headache.
After Huang Qiulian agreed to Fu Bowen's request, Song Ruilong asked Fu Bowen to get up and said: "Fu Xiucai, you can recognize your mistake, this is the prodigal son's return, which is worthy of appreciation, this county will write a document to go up, try to keep your reputation, I hope you will do it yourself." ”
Fu Bowen said gratefully: "Thank you, sir." After the little birthday, I should also study diligently, strive to be the champion in the examination as soon as possible, let Xiangxiang's beloved wife look at Jiuquan, and at the same time I want to learn from Lord Song and be a good official who is the master of the people. ”
Song Ruilong patted Fu Bowen's shoulder and said, "Very good, ambitious!" ”
Song Ruilong said to Wang Jinqiao, who was kneeling on the ground: "Wang Jinqiao, listen to the judgment, as Zhou Shicheng's second wife, you have a private relationship with the housekeeper Chen Changsheng, do not abide by women's morals, and whip fifty to show warning. ”
Wang Jinqiao said: "The women of the people accept the sentence, and the women of the people will be clean and self-loving in the future, and will not do anything that violates their conscience and morality."
Song Ruilong nodded, and said to Zhao Xuetao: "As a married woman, you did not hesitate to have an affair with another man in order to be able to keep your husband's queen. The county sentenced you to thirty flogging, and you can serve the sentence. ”
"The women have no complaints!"
After Song Ruilong finished trying this case, he didn't have time to drink saliva, but he heard a government official outside the door hurriedly run to Song Ruilong, knelt down on one knee and said: "My lord, go back to the county government and take a look, something is wrong."
Song Ruilong's mood immediately became nervous again, and said, "Don't worry, you say slowly, what happened?"
The official slowly stood up and said, "Tonight, my subordinates took Zhang Shun Wang Li to inspect the county office, but when we walked to the morgue, we heard a seeping sound, and the subordinates and Zhang Shun Wang Li pulled out their knives and walked in the direction where the sound came from. When we reached the morgue, we found Zhang Erjie, who was guarding the morgue, lying on the ground, his face pale and his hands and feet twitching. Zhang Erjie was unconscious, and his subordinates didn't know what was going on, so his subordinates asked Zhang Shun and Wang Li to help Zhang Erjie to Zhang Erjie's residence, and his subordinates hurriedly came to report to the adults. ”
Song Ruilong thought about it and said softly, "What can happen to this morgue?" Those dead people don't move, and ordinary people can't wait to stay away when they see the dead. Even thieves wouldn't be stupid enough to steal from dead people. There must be something strange in this. ”
Su Xianrong was next to Song Ruilong, and after she listened to the report of the officer, she was also very strange, and said, "Who will move those dead people?"
