After Huo Yunxiang finished drinking, he looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Now I can speak." Three years ago, Zhao Liuhou, the grandson of Zhao Yuanwai, did fall in love with Liu Tiepan's daughter Liu Piaoxu, but this Liu Tieban was simply an iron plate, and he did not agree to let his daughter marry into the Zhao family. In desperation, Hu Wei and I discussed a clever plan. Hu Wei came forward in this matter, went to Wang Shicheng's blacksmith shop to build a bronze sword, and then carved a 'feather' character on the sword. After that, after a simple treatment, Hu Wei turned the sword into an ancient sword used by Xiang Yu. ”

Huo Yunxiang paused for a while, and after Su Xianrong finished remembering those words, he looked at Huo Yunxiang and said, "What about after that?"

Huo Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "After that, Hu Wei sent someone to bury the ancient sword in the cornfield of the willow iron plate. Two months later, when Liu Tieban was turning over the ground, he found the bronze sword. At that time, the sword was really the same as the ancient sword. Liu Tieban thought that he had a baby, and his heart was so beautiful that he couldn't sleep. Later, through Hu Wei, we passed the news to Zhao Li, the bandit leader of Cuihua Mountain. Zhao Li wanted to make a fortune, but he didn't think about it, so he took a few brothers to Liu Tiepan's house that night. We thought that this group of robbers would do all kinds of evil to kill people and steal goods, but that night they only snatched the fake bronze sword and spared Liu Tiepan and his wife, and in desperation, we carried out the second plan. ”

Su Xianrong then asked, "What is the second plan?"

Huo Yunxiang said: "The second plan is for me to come forward, kill Liu Tieban and his wife with a knife, and then blame the robbers of Cuihua Mountain."

Su Xianrong thought for a moment and said, "Is your purpose just to kill Liu Tieban and his wife?"

Huo Yunxiang nodded and said, "Exactly." After we kill Liu Tiepan and his wife, Liu Tiepan's daughter Liu Piaoxu will definitely hear the sound and go home to check, and when the time comes, our Young Master Zhao will be able to heroically save the beauty. ”

Su Xianrong also had a question: "Did you think about a question at that time?"

Huo Yunxiang was a little confused and said, "What's the problem?"

Su Xianrong said: "What if Zhao Li and they go to Liu Tiepan's house and kill Liu Piaofu as well, then what?" ”

Huo Yunxiang said slowly: "Of course we have considered this problem. At that time, we gave Aunt Wei, a neighbor of Liu Tiepan, a tael of silver, and asked her to call Liu Piaofu to her house that night to embroider a pair of mandarin duck embroidered pillows. Naturally, willow fluttering will not be at home. Even if she returns, we will protect her in secret, because our purpose is her. ”

When Song Ruilong heard this, he immediately made a decision and said, "Call the iron catcher."

The official on Huo Yunxiang's left answered and went out.

The official quickly called Tie Chong in.

After the official stood in his place, Song Ruilong said: "Tie Zhutou, you take three brothers, work hard, go to Liujiatun Liutiepan's house next door to call Aunt Wei over, we have something to ask her."

Tie Chong said, "Okay, my lord, I'll do it right away."

Before Tie Chong turned around, Song Ruilong hurriedly said, "Wait!"

Tie Chong stopped and asked, "What else do you have to order?"

"After you go to Aunt Wei's house, ask one thing clearly, ask her where she found a picture of a mandarin duck embroidered by Liu Piaofu on the night when Liu Tieban was killed three years ago. It is best to find. ”

"Yes, my subordinates have written it down."

Tie Chong closed the door and left the interrogation room.

Song Ruilong looked at Huo Yunxiang and said, "Manager Huo, our door continues to try the case." Just now you said that you and Hu Wei devised such a clever plan, and finally deceived Liu Piaoxu into the Zhao family and became Zhao Hongfei's granddaughter-in-law. The county wants to ask, from beginning to end in this matter, did no one from the Zhao family participate? ”

Huo Yunxiang shook his head and said: "This matter was the idea of me and Hu Wei from beginning to end, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Yuanwai."

Song Ruilong said: "Huo Yunxiang, you must know that telling a lie is a sentence."

Huo Yunxiang sneered and said, "My lord, it is already a capital crime for me to kill Liu Piaoxu's parents, do you think I will be afraid that adults will add another crime to me?"

Song Ruilong said: "Don't forget, if you are instructed by someone, then you are not the main culprit, as long as you have meritorious performance, the county can write an excerpt and hand it over, and your capital crime can also be exempted." If you are obsessed and let the county find out that you are not the mastermind, then the situation will be a different matter. You don't have a chance to live. ”

Huo Yunxiang moved his body forward, as if to say something, and finally, he lowered his head again and said, "You sentence me to death!" I killed people. No one instructed me. ”

Song Ruilong stood up and said, "Rongrong, are you tired?" That's all for tonight's case! We have more to do tomorrow. ”

Su Xianrong sorted out his transcript and asked Huo Yunxiang to sign it.

Song Ruilong put Huo Yunxiang on death row and sent four officials to guard him in shifts.

At dawn, Tie Chong had already brought Aunt Wei to the court.

After Song Ruilong had breakfast, he came to the public court and saw a country woman in her fifties, wearing a coarse cloth dress, her face was wrinkled, there was no smooth skin on the back of her hand, and she was wrapped in a black cloth with white spots on her arm.

Song Ruilong hurriedly pulled Wei Xiaojuan up and said, "Aunt Wei, it's hard work."

Tie Chong reported to Song Ruilong on the side: "My lord, last night, when I took three servants to find Aunt Wei's house, the door of her house was closed, and it was already a mess, and the yard was full of weeds.

Tie Chong breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Long Shi felt that Liu Tieban's death had a lot to do with him, but he didn't dare to report to the official, so he hid in a relative's house until he died."

Song Ruilong felt that the case was getting more and more complicated, and said: "Tie Chong, take Aunt Wei to the living room for some food first, and when we finish eating, we will ask Aunt Wei to carefully tell you what happened back then."

Song Ruilong helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the living room after Aunt Wei had eaten, and then he and Su Xianrong sat opposite Wei Xiaojuan.

Tie Chong took a few servants to guard the door.

Song Ruilong said very gently: "Aunt Wei, don't be afraid, I'm not a county lord now, just treat me as your junior, we just want to talk about the case three years ago now."
