Shen Jing immediately realized the power of that palm, and he immediately wanted to pull Ma Guangji away, but that palm had already been punched.

Ma Guangji trembled with fright, thinking that he would die, but in the end, it was Leng Yue's soul who fell. Su Xianrong said in front of Shen Jing: "Take Ma Guangji to find the murder weapon, and leave it to us here."

After Su Xianrong saw Leng Yue Soul's angry eyes, she felt that Leng Yue Soul might be desperate, so she walked behind Leng Yue Soul in advance, and when Leng Yue Soul poisoned Ma Guangji, she was behind Leng Yue Soul, aimed at Leng Yue Soul's head, slapped a palm, and knocked Leng Yue Soul unconscious.

Although Leng Yue Soul's martial arts are very high, after being injured by Song Ruilong's internal force, he is also at the end of a strong crossbow, and there is no resistance, plus he has used his internal force in the palm of his hand, and the back of his head is empty, so Su Xianrong easily knocked Leng Yue Soul unconscious.

Shen Jing took Ma Guangji to the Pingshui River to find the murder weapon, Song Ruilong was waiting for news at the county office, once he found the scimitar, Song Ruilong could close the case.

Song Ruilong slowly walked to the back of the public case, and after waiting for Leng Yuesoul to wake up, he patted the wood in shock, looked at Leng Yuesoul and said: "Leng Yuesoul listens to the verdict, twenty years ago, you joined the rebel organization, aided in the abuse, and killed many innocent people, which is a heinous crime. After the rebellion was put down, you brutally killed the whole family of Qi Baitai, the county commander of Chuanqing County, and the county sentenced you to death, can you accept the sentence? ”

Leng Yue Soul said: "The sinner accepts the sentence, and I only ask the adults to cut off Ma Guangji's dog's head."

Song Ruilong said: "The crime committed by Ma Guangji is in the county's own measure, and there is no need to bother with the left hall master. Take it down! ”

Two officials pushed Leng Yue's soul and walked out of the court.

Song Ruilong had just sat down at the back of the public case, only to see a servant running in from outside the public hall in a hurry, and as soon as he stepped into the public court, he knelt in front of Song Ruilong and said, "Report!" Report to your Excellency, something is wrong! ”

Song Ruilong asked a little strangely: "Zhang Shun, slow down, didn't you escort Ma Guangji to Pingshui River to find the murder weapon?" What could happen? Could it be that Ma Guangji ran away? ”

Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "Under the leadership of Ma Guangji, Shen Zhutou quickly found the scimitar, but when Wang Yu fished out the scimitar, he saw a male corpse floating down from the upper reaches of the Pingshui River, and the body had been fished to the shore by his subordinates, so he waited for him to go to the autopsy."

As soon as Song Ruilong heard that there was another murder, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately called Zhang Meixian and took Su Xianrong to the Pingshui Bridge where the crime occurred.

By this time, it was getting late, and the body was lying in a clearing at the east end of the bridge, with a white cloth on it.

After Song Ruilong arrived at the scene, he immediately asked those officials to stop some of the people at the scene and let them stay away from the deceased.

After Zhang Meixian prepared the autopsy tools, she began to examine the body.

Song Ruilong walked in front of Ma Guangji during this period, took out the scimitar in his hand, and said, "This knife is the murder weapon you used to kill Zhao Yanping that night, isn't it?" ”

Ma Guangji said timidly: "Yes." ”

Song Ruilong took a closer look at the edge of the knife and said, "There are two notches in the blade of this knife, and there are some subtle bamboo sticks on it, which is consistent with our autopsy at that time." It is certain that Ma Guangji killed Zhao Yanping. ”

Su Xianrong said next to Song Ruilong: "Then Brother Song, how do you judge Ma Guangji's guilt?" ”

Song Ruilong glared at Ma Guangji and said, "Ma Guangji listens to the verdict!" ”

Ma Guangji knelt down in front of Song Ruilong, kowtowed vigorously, and said: "Xiaomin knows his guilt, I hope that the adults will open the net and spare Xiaomin's life." ”

Song Ruilong said: "Ma Guangji, you have always hated Zhao Yanping for the repentance incident, after the rain passed the night before yesterday, you climbed over the wall to Qin Zhentian's house, picked up a scimitar from a broken bamboo basket, and went over the wall to Zhao Yanping's house, you first stabbed Qin Xiaoyun, and then killed Zhao Yanping, after returning home, without repentance, and killed Guo Yunliang, intending to kill your mouth, it is really a great crime, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, this county sentenced you to murder and sentenced to death, can you accept the sentence?" ”

Ma Guangji's body was trembling, and he said, "Xiaomin obeys the sentence, I hope the adults will be gracious." ”

Song Ruilong instructed the two officials next to him, "Take Ma Guangji back to the yamen and put him on death row." ”

After the two officials took Ma Guangji away, Zhang Meixian's autopsy results also came out.

Zhang Meixian took off the linen gloves in her hand and walked in front of Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong, before Zhang Meixian could speak, Su Xianrong asked anxiously, "Aunt Zhang, what's the situation?" ”

Zhang Meixian took a breath and said, "The deceased, male, was probably in his forties. The deceased had no water in his stomach, which ruled out the suspicion of drowning. He was thrown into the Pingshui River after his death. The deceased had a large amount of alcohol in his mouth, and it is certain that he drank a lot of alcohol before he died. The exact cause of death required the body to be transported back to the morgue in the Yamen for further examination. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Can the specific time of death be determined?" ”

Zhang Meixian said: "Judging from the situation of the corpse spots, it can be inferred that the approximate time of death is at the time of the rooster's crow, that is, the time of Mao. However, the corpse spots of the deceased seem to be somewhat special, the appearance of red on the body is reasonable, it stands to reason that drunk people, the corpse spots after death will be gray-brown, this kind of red corpse spots are indeed rare. ”

Su Xianrong's eyes lit up and said, "Could the deceased be poisoned?" ”

Zhang Meixian shook her head and said, "No, because I didn't find any toxins in the throat and stomach of the deceased." ”

Song Ruilong looked at the Pingshui River: "The deceased floated down from the upper reaches of the river, and it can be concluded from the speed of the river that the distance from the deceased falling into the river to the Pingshui Bridge, the speed of the water flow is about half a mile per hour, if the deceased fell into the water at the time of Mao, then it is now unitary time, and there are about six hours in between." Six hours, one hour drifts half a mile, six hours is three miles. ”

Su Xianrong looked at the upper reaches of the Pingshui River and said: "The water in this Pingshui River is basically stagnant water, it is difficult to flow, usually those people will let the domestic wastewater into this river, if the body of the deceased is thrown down three miles above the Pingshui River, then the matter is just afraid that it will be solved." As long as you go up three miles along this river, you can roughly determine the point where the deceased fell into the water. Determining the place where the deceased fell into the water can quickly prove the identity of the deceased. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Yes, the most important thing at the moment is to determine the identity of the deceased first. ”

After Song Ruilong instructed the officials to carry the body of the deceased back to the county office, he and Su Xianrong walked three miles along the road on the right side of the Pingshui River.
