Chapter 546: Poison Scheme
Song Ruilong looked at Zheng Quan, who was ugly, and said, "What do you say?" β
Zheng Quan suddenly knelt down for Song Ruilong and said, "My lord, the small people are wronged, the small people are wronged." This Ye Shi is all complete nonsense, how could Xiao Min let people kill Xiao Min's nephew? β
Ye Shiquan glared at Zheng Quan and said, "Zheng Quan, I didn't expect you to have today, right?" If you say why you killed your nephew, then I will tell you because you want to monopolize the Zheng family's property. Your eldest brother Zheng An and his eldest lady and second lady have already made a will. The will said that after his death, more than eighty percent of the Zheng family's property belonged to Zheng Zhifei, and the remaining twenty percent belonged to the second young master Zheng Zhiqi. You are not convinced, you said that you worked hard for the Zheng family, and when you are old, you will have to be the slave of their two juniors, you are unwilling, so you deliberately told the eldest young master that there is a plague in Hujia Village, because you know that according to the temper of the eldest young master, if he knows that there are refugees somewhere, he will die. Zheng Zhifei really went, and he got the wind chill as you wished. Actually, we all know that it's not a plague at all, it's just a kind of red spot powder that you ordered people to order, and that kind of poison can make people feel like they have a plague. β
Ye Shiquan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "After the eldest young master came back, he was bedridden, and what happened in the future was what your second master Zheng said with his mouth, and you bought Lang Zhong, who was treating the eldest young master at that time, deliberately said how serious the eldest young master's illness was." In this way, the eldest young master seemed to have become a plague god, and no one dared to take a step close to his room, not even those subordinates dared to approach the eldest young master's room. At that time, only I dared to boil medicine for Zheng Zhifei, and the only one who served the medicine was the red candle. Because the red candle is your good match, of course she knows the truth. The final arsenic was the one you put the red candle in the medicine, right? β
Zheng Quan glared at Ye Shiquan angrily and said, "What nonsense! What about the evidence? Who wouldn't say that? And I said you were the murderer of my nephew? Don't forget. At that time, you were boiling the medicine, and the possibility of you taking the medicine was the greatest. β
Ye Shiquan glared angrily and said, "Zheng Quan! I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person, don't forget, who said this plan in the first place? You took the initiative to find me. Because Zheng Zhifei and I were the closest to each other at that time, Zheng Zhifei would listen to me a lot of things, you say. As long as I lead Zheng Zhifei to Hujia Village, other things will be easy to do. You also said that when the matter is completed, you will give me 1,000 taels of silver, but when the matter is over, you only gave me 500 taels of silver, and you are not ashamed to say that 500 taels of silver is enough, is a life of the eldest young master worth 500 taels of silver? β
Zheng Quan also said angrily: "Of course, the life of the eldest young master is not worth five hundred taels of silver, but don't forget it." You also got one thing from the eldest young master that you wanted the most. β
"What's that?"
Zheng Quanwei smiled and said, "Zheng Zhifei's sweetheart Xie Xiaofei!" Xie Xiaofei was about to become Zheng Zhifei's wife at that time, but as soon as Zheng Zhifei died, she was free, and you had a chance. β
Ye Shiquan became even more angry and said, "You bastard, I haven't pulled Xie Xiaofei's hand until now, every time I ask you for help." You're all on top, and you're ignoring my affairs. β
Zheng Quan still wanted to speak. only heard the sound of "pop", which scared him into a shiver.
Song Ruilong slapped the fan on the table and said, "You two are really a great crime. One did not hesitate to kill his own nephew for the property of the Zheng family, and the other did not hesitate to betray his friend and master for the sake of his friend's fiancΓ©e. It's really wolf-hearted. I didn't expect you to be unrepentant at this point, which is really infuriating. β
Song Ruilong looked at Liu Tianxiong and said, "Master, you came just in time, you took the confessions of the two of them and asked them to sign and draw them." β
Liu Tianxiong nodded and said, "Yes." I'm going to take a confession. β
Song Ruilong looked at Wei Bixiao and Su Xianrong and said, "You go and bring all the people involved in the Zheng family to the county office, as well as Kong Qingyun's wife Teng Miaozhen, and bring her to the county office, and this case will be solved." β
After Liu Tianxiong finished his confession, Song Ruilong and Liu Tianxiong returned to the county government with Ye Shiquan and Zheng Quan, and not long after they went back, Su Xianrong and Wei Bixiao took a group of people involved in the case to the back hall of the county office.
Song Ruilong always felt that there was still any lack of evidence in these cases, so he and Su Xianrong came to the scene of Jiang Zhenhu's murder.
At Jiang Zhenhu's home, Su Xianrong found a box that fired poison needles, and Song Ruilong found the iron box that Teng Miaozhen said. There were five hundred taels of silver in the iron box.
After Song Ruilong found all these things, he felt that all the evidence chains were complete, so he returned to the county office with Su Xianrong.
Song Ruilong immediately put on the official mansion and went to the court to ask about the case.
After a burst of applause, Song Ruilong ordered someone to bring the red candle to the court.
Red Candle knelt in front of Song Ruilong, and when she heard a startled sound, she trembled with fright.
Song Ruilong said solemnly: "Red Candle, raise your head and look at the county." β
Red Candle felt like a mountain in her head, and it took a lot of effort for her to lift her head.
Red Candle looked at Song Ruilong and said, "The folk girl has seen an adult. β
Song Ruilong pretended to be angry and said: "Red Candle, you are so bold, in the Zheng family manor, in Li Junmei's house, you dare to deceive this county." It's not really recruited! β
Red Candle trembled with fright, and said, "My lord, the people's daughter, the people's daughter doesn't know what the adults are talking about?" β
Song Ruilong said: "Red Candle, you said that Zheng Zhiqi asked you to put that puppet under Li Junmei's box, right?" β
"Yes, yes, it was Zheng Zhiqi who asked the people to let the girl go, and the people said the same thing at the time."
"Nonsense!" Song Ruilong said: "It's clear that someone instructed you to say that, and you still don't tell the truth, so as not to suffer from your flesh and skin." β
When Red Candle heard this, he felt that he couldn't rely on it no matter how much he denied it, so he could only tell the truth and said: "My lord, the folk girl said, the folk girl told the truth, the puppet was let by Zheng Quan and Zheng Er. β
Song Ruilong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speak slowly, then why did Zheng Quan want you to put a puppet in Li Junmei's closet?" β
Red Candle said slowly, "That's right, my lord. Red Candle is a hard-working child, five years ago, his father was seriously ill and died, and the daughter had no money to buy a coffin, so she sold herself to bury her father in Ping'an County, which happened to be favored by the second master Zheng. Second Master Zheng paid for the people's daughter. After the folk girl buried her father, she has been following the great benefactor of the folk girl. Second Master Zheng is kind to the people's daughters, and the people's daughters can't go against his will. (To be continued.) )
