Chapter 11: An Unspeakable Secret

Fu Bowen excitedly wanted to kneel down for Song Ruilong, and said, "If the adults can agree, Xiaosheng will be willing to die even if he dies."

Song Ruilong saw that Fu Bowen was so happy, so he no longer asked him if he had been to Zhou Tianxiang's boudoir last night, and said, "This county knows." You step aside first, and when the county finds out the case, it will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Fu Bowen said with a charming smile on his face: "Then thank you to the county magistrate."

Song Ruilong opened the fan in his hand suddenly, glared at Chen Changsheng and said, "Steward Chen!"

"In!" Chen Changsheng said in a panic.

"We continue to hear the case. Just now you asked the county what your motive was for killing, and now the county will tell you. You are for an unspeakable secret, and on top of that, you are for money and that treasure, the inkstone. ”

Chen Changsheng sneered: "If you say something for an adult, you don't understand for a small one." Please also make it clear. ”

Song Ruilong clapped his hands twice and said, "Take the Zhou Wang clan!"

Two officials led a woman into the house.

The woman was bright, and her eyes were as black as night. Her chin was very pointed, her eyebrows were trimmed like crescents, and her thick black hair adorned her with a beautiful beauty.

She reveals a kind of wealth and wealth, but she has a bit of a beautiful appearance, especially her big watery eyes, coupled with her flawless makeup, which makes Tie Chong a little unbearable to suspect that she will do bad things.

The woman knelt on the ground and said to Song Ruilong, "The people's woman Wang Jin Qiao has seen an adult."

Chen Changsheng's eyes glanced at Wang Jinqiao, and his face changed suddenly, although he concealed it very well, but it was that momentary change that made Song Ruilong see it in his eyes.

Song Ruilong looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "The woman next to you, do you know her?"

Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "Adults are really good at laughing, she is our second wife Wang Jinqiao, Master Zhou, who was still a young man to build a bridge for Master Zhou, so they were able to come together."

Song Ruilong said: "It's good if you know each other." Song Ruilong looked at Wang Jinqiao, "Let's talk about it, how did you secretly commit adultery with Chen Changsheng?" ”

Wang Jinqiao panicked and said, "The eldest lord will check clearly." The folk woman is Master Zhou's person, and the folk woman has a deep love for Master Zhou, how can she empathize and fall in love with this subordinate? ”

Although Chen Changsheng is not handsome, he is a person who can speak well, and said, "Old man......"

"Shut up!" Song Ruilong slapped the table with a teacup and said, "This county didn't ask you, if you dare to talk more, be careful of your mouth!"

Song Ruilong looked at Liu Xiang and said, "Mrs. Zhou, tell me, how did Mrs. Tuesday commit adultery with this guy?"

Liu Xiang looked at Wang Jinqiao and said, "Back to the words of the adult." This Wang Jinqiao and Chen Changsheng's adultery is not a matter of one or two days. It is no secret that my husband is too weak to do the things of husband and wife. Folk women can still endure loneliness, but this Qinglou, where Wang Jinqiao was born, slept with many men before he got along with my master. After marrying into my family, he found that my master was getting worse day by day, so he got along with Steward Chen. This matter was originally a family ugliness, and the women didn't want to publicize it, but now that the master is dead, and this matter may also be related to the cause of my lord's death, the women don't care about what the family is ugly or not. ”

Wang Jinqiao excitedly wanted to stand up and beat Liu Xiang, and said, "Huang Qiulian, you slut dare to frame me!" When the master was alive, you bullied me, but I didn't expect the master to leave, and you still didn't let me go. ”

Two officials made a lot of effort to hold Wang Jinqiao down.

Song Ruilong opened the fan suddenly, glared at Wang Jinqiao, pulled out a piece of red silk from under the table and threw it to Wang Jinqiao's side, and said, "Wang Jinqiao, don't get excited, first look at the underwear on the ground, have you ever known it?"

Wang Jinqiao glanced at the dress, his body was trembling, and Song Ruilong continued: "Wang Jinqiao, if you are innocent with Chen Changsheng, this county will naturally give you justice and set up a chastity archway for you." But if you are a prodigal woman who is not self-respecting, the county will also put you in prison according to the law. ”

Song Ruilong stared at the red underwear on the ground and said, "What's wrong?" Madame Tuesday, do you see clearly, whose dress is on the floor? ”

Wang Jinqiao shook his head and said tremblingly, "How do the women know whose clothes they are?"

Song Ruilong said slowly: "Just now, the county asked my mother and Mrs. Zhou to go to Steward Chen's room. A woman's underwear was found in Steward Chen's room, and a pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered on the clothes, and eight words were embroidered around the mandarin ducks: Qiaosheng is in deep love, and the sea is dry and rotten. This county thinks this is the token of love between you and Chen Changsheng! ”

Wang Jinqiao blushed with shame, and suddenly she looked up at Song Ruilong, and said confidently: "That's right, that dress is the love token that the woman gave to Steward Chen." Adults may not know that I am a young girl, and I am faced with a bad old man who can't do anything all day long, and I even have the heart to die. Whenever in the dead of night, I am alone in the green light, lonely in the empty room, who can experience that kind of feeling. ”

Song Ruilong said angrily: "So you hooked up with Chen Changsheng? After Zhou Shicheng found out about the adultery between the two of you, Zhou Yuanwai remembered the old relationship, and instead of transferring Chen Changsheng and you two adulterers and adulteresses to the government, he gave Chen Changsheng 500 taels of silver, and asked him to quietly leave Zhou Yuan, go to the countryside to find a daughter-in-law, and spend his old age in peace, is what the county said right? ”

Chen Changsheng retorted: "Where are you talking about it, and when will the little one have to pay for Zhou Yuan's money?"

Song Ruilong took out a piece of paper, shook it in front of him, and said, "What a cunning subordinate!" You look carefully, this is a note written by your grandfather for you, with your signature and drawing on it, do you want to press a handprint to verify it? ”

Only then did Chen Changsheng bow his head and admit, "That's right, this note was indeed left to me by the master." I really wanted to leave Zhou Yuan yesterday, but helplessly, it happened that an injured person fell outside the door, so I wanted to deal with this matter before leaving Zhou Yuan, but who knew that my master was killed by Bai Xiaosheng. ”

Song Ruilong sneered and said, "Even if you are clever, this county still has a way to prove that Master Zhou was killed by you."

Chen Changsheng said angrily: "Then please tell me, why did I kill Master Zhou?"

Song Ruilong said: "After Zhou Yuanwai knew about your secret adultery with Wang Jinqiao, he wrote you a note and promised to give you five hundred taels of silver, but you felt that you had worked hard to follow Zhou Shicheng for most of your life, and you didn't leave much savings, and you thought that the five hundred taels of silver were less, but because you had already made a mistake first, you acquiesced, and signed the note." When the injured man with the treasure comes to the door, you want to take the inkstone and sell it for a few bucks, but when you know that the inkstone may be priceless, you start to kill. ”

Chen Changsheng sneered: "This is just your side of the story, and if you say something unpleasant, it is a frame-up." Of course, you are the magistrate, and what you say, even if it is wrong, is right. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Don't worry, if this county can't come up with evidence that convinces you, it won't convict you of murder."

Song Ruilong looked at Zhang Meixian and said, "Get the evidence!"

Zhang Meixian took out a gray burden from under the table, handed it to Song Ruilong, and said, "Ouch, it smells bad and dies." There was the smell of men's sweat and blood, and if it weren't for the fact that I was a fool and the autopsy took a long time, I would definitely be able to vomit out my intestines. ”

Song Ruilong opened the gray burden and threw it in front of Chen Changsheng, saying, "This dress, Steward Chen won't not know it, right?" If Steward Chen doesn't know him, then the county can let the others in Zhou Yuan recognize him. ”

Song Ruilong glanced at Shen Jing, and Shen Jing let a small servant outside the door walk in.

The little servant lowered his head, took small steps, walked to Chen Changsheng's side, looked at the bloody clothes, and said, "My lord, this dress is often worn by Steward Chen." I said how Steward Chen changed a piece of clothing today, and he said that the clothes were dirty and thrown away, and it turned out that the clothes were here. ”

Song Ruilong waved his hand, and the little guy retreated, Song Ruilong glared at Chen Changsheng and said, "What else do you have to say now?"

Chen Changsheng sneered: "My lord, I think you are mistaken, right?" My lord died of poisoning, and Bai Xiaosheng hanged himself, even if these two people were killed by villains, where did these bloodstains come from? ”

Zhang Meixian whispered next to Song Ruilong: "Long'er, are you mistaken? Both men died without shedding a single bleed. The man who was buried in the back garden had shed a lot of blood, but the blood on his body was all dry, and it was impossible for it to stain Chen Changsheng's clothes. ”

Song Ruilong looked at the door with a smile and said, "My eldest lady, you should also appear, right?"

After listening to a soft breeze, a fairy-like girl stood in the main hall.

The woman was holding a turquoise flute in her hand and smiling, smiling like a flower blooming in spring.

Her eyebrows were not deliberately trimmed, but they were ten times more beautiful than those trimmed. Although her lips were not rubbed with vermilion, they were ten times more beautiful than the woman who had rubbed them.

Her hair hangs naturally from her head to her shoulders, creating a flawless picture with her face.

Fu Bowen always thought that Zhou Tianxiang was the most beautiful woman in Ping'an County, but after he saw the girl today, he couldn't help but see it.

Chen Changsheng's eyes were straight, and he seemed to have forgotten that the woman was here to correct his crimes.

The girl put her hands together, put the turquoise flute between her hands naturally, lowered her head slightly, looked at Song Ruilong and said, "The little woman Wei Bixiao has seen the county magistrate."

Song Ruilong said with a smile: "Sister Bixiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you polite when you see your brother?"
