Zeng Qiang was so frightened that he foamed at the mouth and was taken to death row by two officials in iron chains.

Song Ruilong looked at Wu Tuntian and said, "Wu Tuntian, what punishment should this county sentence you for the crime you have committed?"

Wu Tongtian looked a little indifferent, looked at the bill shaking in Song Ruilong's hand, and said, "How much silver the adults want to fine, the people will give it." Just don't let Xiaomin go to jail. ”

Song Ruilong smiled and took out another booklet, and said: "Wu Tongtian, ten years ago, in Chuanqing County, because of the sale of corpses, the crime was extremely heinous, and he was sentenced to death by the county order of Chuanqing County. The Criminal Department's list of wanted felons also has Wu Tuntian's name, how do you say that this county will sentence you after being caught? ”

Song Ruilong looked at Wu Tongtian, as if waiting for Wu Tongtian to reply.

Wu Tuntian smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, even if you want to sentence Xiaomin to death, you should lock Xiaomin in a dungeon and wait for the approval of the Criminal Department!"

Song Ruilong took out a piece of paper, shook it in front of him, and said, "The approval of the Criminal Department is here, do you want to read it?"

Wu Tongtian's face turned green all of a sudden, and he said, "My lord, can Xiaomin eat the last meal?"

Song Ruilong said: "Of course, every prisoner can have a full meal before being guillotined, and the county can agree to your request." According to the approval of the Criminal Department, as long as Wu Tuntian is caught, he can be brought to justice on the spot, and there is no need to declare it. ”

Song Ruilong shook the official document in his hand twice, and said: "The official document is here, this county is going to perform official duties now, come here, lock Wu Tongtian, and execute the death penalty immediately after eating the severed meal."

When two officials knew that Wu Tuntian was in the business of buying and selling corpses, they gritted their teeth against him.

After beheading Wu Tuntian, Su Xianrong, Song Ruilong and others returned to the county office.

Candles were lit in the county order office, and Wei Bixi felt an ominous omen, and said, "Brother Song, if it's late today, why haven't Tie Chong and Shen Jing come back yet, nothing will happen?"

Song Ruilong said: "We haven't finished the case of the monk's murder, if we want to find out the real culprit of the monk's murder, we have to go to Fanjiazhuang, maybe Tie Chong will bring us some good news."

Wei Bixiao said: "Brother Song, the case of this monk's murder is so complicated, I haven't figured out what's going on yet?" Can you tell us more about the case, maybe we can also help you think about the real murderer who killed the monk. ”

Song Ruilong looked at Su Xianrong and said, "Rongrong, you can help me talk about it, I have been trying the case for nearly two hours, and now my mouth is dry, and I don't even have the strength to speak."

Su Xianrong glanced at Song Ruilong, and then said very seriously: "Okay, then I'll start with the monk Qingxiu going to Dong Xiuzhu." Yesterday, Monk Qing Xiu and his junior brother, Monk Shimizu, were two ordinary monks in the kitchen of Mengzhen Temple who were procuring vegetables and grain. After the two of them finished purchasing food and vegetables at Fengyun Department Store yesterday, this Qingxiu monk went to find his good friend Dong Xiuzhu to be happy. At night, the Qingxiu monk did not leave Dong Xiuzhu's room, and it happened that Dong Xiuzhu's sister Dong Xiuhong disappeared, so that Dong Yunheng found Dong Xiuzhu's house. In the end, the big wooden box containing the monk was carried back to Dong Yunheng's home. Unexpectedly, the monk Qingxiu fainted to death because he was not breathable in the big wooden box, and Dong Yunheng thought that the monk was dead, so he wanted to use the monk to pretend to be the missing Dong Xiuhong to deceive Nangong Xiang. ”

Wei Bixiao interrupted Su Xianrong's words and said, "I seem to understand this later story. The monk died in a coma and did not really die, so he gradually woke up after being tossed for a while. When he knew that he was a dead man, he thought that he was really dead, and he had become a woman, so he was even more frightened, and he jumped out of the coffin and ran outside the Dong Mansion. The monk's light skills are good, so he crossed the city wall of Ping'an County and fled to Chenjia Village, where he exchanged a set of men's clothes with silver hairpins and gold earrings to Chen Changmao, and after that, he changed into Chen Changmao's clothes, and we don't know his future whereabouts, we only know that he died in the dry well in the end. ”

Song Ruilong said with a smile: "Bi Xiao and Xian Rong are very good, our case is not over yet, so everyone must cheer up and strive to arrest the murderer tonight."

"Action, go to Fanjiazhuang!"

Song Ruilong said categorically.

Song Ruilong took Su Xianrong and the other four people to Chenjiazhuang first, and they stopped at the place where the monk Qingxiu in Chenjiazhuang changed his shroud.

Liu Tianxiong listened to the low chirping of insects around him, looked at the dark night and said: "Today, about the time of the third watch, the monk Qingxiu changed his set of shrouds here, so, where do you say this monk will go after that?" ”

Wei Bixiao didn't think about it: "Where else can he go?" He was originally a monk of Mengzhen Temple, and of course he wanted to go back to Mengzhen Temple. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said: "Judging from this intersection, this Qingxiu monk is from Mengzhen Temple, because due south is Liujiatun. Liujiatun is far away from Mengzhen Temple, and it is impossible to be in the west, where it is the county seat, and the monk of Qingxiu escaped from the county yacheng. It is also impossible to be due north, due north is the Anding River. There are no ships there now, and the monk Qingxiu went there, but he was afraid that there was nothing to do. Then there is only one way for the monks to go, and that is to pass through Chenjiazhuang from the road in front of us, then through Fanjiazhuang, and finally from the foot of Xianren Mountain to Mengzhen Temple. ”

Su Xianrong said: "Brother Song's analysis is reasonable. Let's go back to Mengzhen Temple again and see if we can find out where he was killed. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Also, everyone remembers, this Qing Xiu monk is also good at martial arts, and his fist and foot kung fu is naturally good, and it is naturally not easy for others to kill him." Judging from the results of the autopsy, this monk was hacked to death with two knives, one in the back and the other in the throat. These two knives are clean and neat, without a little mud and water, which shows that the murderer is also a good hand in the rivers and lakes. How can a person like this be a person who has lived in a village for a long time? They must have been people who had not lived here for long. Master Liu, we need to find the security chiefs of Chenjia Village and Fanjia Village now. Ask about each household, especially those closest to the road. Once it is found that someone has not lived in the village for a long time and can do martial arts, it is necessary to focus on the investigation. ”
