Chapter 372: Kill Cao Qin
Listening to his wife's confession, Zhang Xiaohua's face turned pale in an instant, and her ass involuntarily slipped off the chair and sat on the ground, her lips trembling.
The wife doesn't know what's going on, but he knows that helping a murderer cover up his crime is an accomplice.
If the accomplice doesn't get it right, he will also be killed, this is a windfall from heaven, this is a disaster from heaven.
"Zhang Xiaohua, if you don't say it now, when do you want to wait?" After listening to Zhang Yue's confession, Meng Yan turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaohua who was sitting on the ground.
"The eldest lord spares his life, in fact, I was also forced!" Zhang Xiaohua was frightened and lay on the ground crying and begging for mercy.
"Zhang Xiaohua, tell me everything you know, and this official may intercede for you as appropriate!"
"Yes, yes, I said, I said, Ah Liu came to me that night, saying that Second Master Jiao had something to ask me for help, and asked me to bring all the tools for doing work, I didn't think about it, so I took the tools with me......"
"When I got to the ground, I knew what Jiao Erye asked me to do, I was very scared, but I didn't dare not agree, so I could only listen to him, until it was almost dawn, and I finished the work, and after I was done, I went home."
"You're alone?"
"And Ah Liu, he will beat him, otherwise I can't do so much work overnight."
"No wonder?"
"And then?"
"On the third day, Second Master Jiao called me and Ah Liu, not only wrote off the gambling debts I owed him before, but also gave me fifty taels of silver, I know, this is hush money. Later, the yamen sentenced Bai Suxin to commit adultery and murder, and I knew that I had become Jiao Erye's accomplice, and I was very afraid, afraid that I would be known that I was also an accomplice, and it was not safe to hide the silver at home, and I didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, for fear of being suspected, so I went to Baocui Building and used the silver to buy some gold jewelry. Then he gave it to the Hun family and hid it. Even if it is discovered, it can be said that it was brought by the Hun family's marriage, so naturally there will be no suspicion. ”
"It's a very thoughtful idea, but you still spent this money?"
"I mean. I just don't take the money out to gamble or drink. No one will notice. ”
"I can't see it. You are still quite scheming, do you know what you did? ”
"I didn't know at first. Later, didn't I buy jewelry, so I sued her, sir, it wasn't me who killed people, I just helped repair the railings, doors and windows, and nothing else. Zhang Xiaohua said.
"Did Jiao Hong ask you to repair the railings, doors and windows?"
"Yes, Second Master Jiao, he was there all the time that night." Zhang Xiaohua nodded in acknowledgement.
"You narrate everything you watched in Suxinzhai that night to the official, and in addition, what Jiao Hong said to you must also be repeated to the official, do you understand?"
"Understand, understand, when I arrived at Su Xinzhai that day, it was dark, and I walked through the side door, I only heard after I arrived that in addition to the homicide case, the front door was sealed by the government, and when I entered, the courtyard was in a mess, and Jiao Erye stayed alone inside......"
Zhang Xiaohua said, Meng Yan recorded, interjected from time to time to ask a question, and narrated for nearly half an hour before the whole process was finished.
"Zhang Xiaohua, take a look at whether this is exactly the same as what you said, if there is something wrong, you point it out."
"Sir, it's exactly the same." Zhang Xiaohua spent a cup of tea reading her own dictated testimony.
"Then sign and pledge on this."
After signing and posting, Meng Yan temporarily detained Zhang Xiaohua and put Zhang Yue's family back, this woman was not much of a crime.
"My lord, it seems that the evidence in our hands can completely point to Jiao Hong's murder and blame Bai Suxin?" Fan Xiping was excited, this case was originally handled by Dongchang as an iron case, and although it was rejected by the Criminal Department, everyone knew that the possibility of turning over this case was almost zero.
The Criminal Department really wants to wrestle with Dongchang, then it really doesn't have that ability, not to mention that Bai Suxin, a girl who is powerless, is still in prison by herself, how can she overturn the case for herself?
However, now that Meng Yan has been turned over, the Criminal Department can only make an excuse and approve the death penalty back, but once it is okay, what about the next time?
Without Meng Yan's intervention, the next autumn decision, I am afraid that the Criminal Department will no longer have the ability to reject Bai Suxin's approval of the death penalty.
As long as the emperor's pen is lightly hooked, this flower-like life will be extinguished.
"As far as Kuài arrests Ah Liu and gets his confession, he should know more than Zhang Xiaohua."
"That's what my lord said."
"Lao Fan, Ah Liu, you come to trial, and you will report as soon as you get a confession." Meng Yan ordered.
"Whoa!"
"My lord, Mrs. Rain is here, waiting for you in the study."
"Got it, tell me to go down, nothing important, don't bother." Meng Yan commanded.
"Whoa!"
"Coming?"
"It's been a while, I heard that you found the important witness who repaired the railings, doors and windows for Su Xinzhai?"
"Who is chewing the root of the tongue in the yamen?"
"Oh, my lord, I'm a human ear, you don't know, no one took the initiative to sue me." Wen Xiaoyu snorted.
"You are my woman now, don't worry about the affairs of the court, or think more about business matters, our expenses are not small."
"Got it, sir."
"Am I that old?" Meng Yan raised his eyebrows and snorted.
"Aren't all those who have become officials called that?" Wen Xiaoyu pouted.
"Forget it, this is in the yamen, the master is the master, you are not allowed to call it at home, you have to call your husband, you know?"
"Isn't that an old word?"
"That's different, have you seen your sister Suxin?" Meng Yan walked over, sat down, grabbed the teacup, raised Erlang's legs and asked.
"If you're not here, Xiaoyu will only have to go to see Sister Suxin first." Wen Xiaoyu walked over, turned to Meng Yan and stretched out his hand, put his slender jade fingers on his shoulders, and kneaded them gently.
"Well, comfortable, you learned this from Meiji, right?"
"Well, this charm is worthy of professional training, but I have learned a lot of things from her, such as serving men, do you want to give it a try, master?"
There was a greasy taste in the sweetness of these words, and with just the right kneading, Meng Yan only felt that half of his body was crispy.
"Don't come to this set, what do you want me to do for your plain sister?" Meng Yan opened his eyes and said, he hadn't lost his judgment by Wen Xiaoyu's ecstasy soup.
"Master, can you let Xiaoyu a little bit, just like this, you still have to say it?"
"Okay, public is public, private is private, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us, not to mention the red-eyed ones outside, let's just say that there are many pairs of eyes in the yamen of this patrol envoy." Meng Yan Road.
"You are the number one position of the inspector in the yamen, what else can they do to you?"
"You think it's so easy to be the boss, you can't let the people below obey you, and the boss is just a mud fetus Bodhisattva."
"Is it Zhang Xuan's ......?"
"That kid is arrogant, a gentleman, easy to deal with, I'm not worried."
"That's that Li Duo?"
"Li Duo has long been a grasshopper on a rope with me, I'm unlucky, he doesn't have good fruit to eat, he won't."
"Who could it be, there are only a few people in the Yamen Inspectorate?"
"It doesn't have to be a high position, and occasionally an inconspicuous person may become your biggest threat, that's maybe." Meng Yan Road.
At present, the patrol has made the yamen quite united, and since the purging of Shen Sihai, an internal traitor, this team has become much more obedient than at the beginning.
"Master, Sister Suxin's suspicion is getting smaller and smaller, can you be released from detention and released first?" Smell the light rain road.
"Not yet, wait until I pass Jiao Hong over the hall." Meng Yan thought for a moment and refused.
"Now that the human and physical evidence are all here, Sister Suxin was obviously wronged, why don't you let her go?"
"Both the government and the opposition are looking at this case, Dongchang lost this time, but they may not be willing, so even if I make a little mistake, they will hold on to it, release Bai Suxin now, what do you think will happen to those people?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
"Although I'm not afraid of these people throwing dirty water on me, I don't want to hear these flies buzzing, Bai Suxin has been in prison for so long, and she can't wait for these few days, what's more, her current environment is much better than before, right?"
"Sister Su Xin is mainly worried about her younger brother, Bai Jiao's was arrested, and her younger brother Bai Shaoqing definitely has no one to take care of, so ......"
"I just met her two days ago, and I didn't mention it at that time, but now I mention it, this Bai Suxin is scheming enough?"
"Isn't she embarrassed, you helped her so much, and caused you trouble?" Smell the light rain road.
This explanation also made Meng Yan feel acceptable.
"Bai Shaoqing came to visit the prison today, and the food he brought in almost didn't poison Bai Jiao's family, I have allowed him to stay here and stay with Bai Jiao's family for two hours every day." Meng Yan Road.
"What's going on, how could Bai Shaoqing poison his mother?"
"Someone borrowed his hand to poison Bai Jiao's family, so that Bai Jiao's family couldn't speak, and some secrets would naturally not be known."
"Who is it?"
"It's hard to say, Dongchang is the most likely, Cao Qin is the concubine of Bai Jiao's family, maybe something will fall into her hands, Bai Jiao's family may use this to blackmail the other party, and it is not impossible for the fish to die and break the net." Meng Yandao, he won't tell Xiaoyu about the affairs of the queen, this is too much to do.
"It's terrible, this night husband and wife Baiyeen, Cao Qin actually did such a thing for himself, is he still human?" Wen Xiaoyu was angry.
"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, not to mention that they are just dew couples, Cao Qin for the sake of his official position, for his own future, what is it to abandon a woman who is not even his wife?" Meng Yan wondered in his heart whether to use this incident to burn another fire and completely kill Cao Qin.
As soon as Cao Qin died, he formed a mortal enmity with Cao Jixiang, and he was going to kill Cao Jixiang next, but now he has this opportunity. (To be continued......)
