Chapter 666: Solving the Mystery of Tang Wei's Death (5)

ps: Rolling all over the ground for a monthly pass, begging for sharing!

"Zhao Lie, if people don't know, unless you don't do it, do you think that what you do is seamless, no one knows?"

"Lord Meng, the lower official is wrong, the lower official is really wrong...... Zhao Lie knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing and admitting his mistake, how can there be a little dignity of a parent official?

"The most you have committed is enough to raid your family and exterminate the clan, but this official sees that you have studied hard for ten years, and your fame is not easy to come by, so you will be given a chance to atone for your sins, are you willing?" Meng Yan snorted coldly.

"The lower officials are willing, the lower officials are willing!" Zhao Lie kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Okay, this official's question, how did Lord Tang Yu Tang die?" Meng Yan asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This ......"

"Zhao Lie, how did you promise this official just now, could it be that you forgot about it in the blink of an eye?" Meng Yan snorted coldly.

"Xia Guan didn't see it with his own eyes, but from Mr. Fang's words, it is speculated that he should have been murdered." Zhao Lie said.

"Well, not lying." Meng Yan nodded.

Zhao Lie's face was relaxed, the cell was cold and damp, and at this time, he was sweating on his forehead, and his vest was even more wet.

"Did you come up with the method of getting Lord Tang's body to bake in a waste brick kiln in the west of the city, so that his corpse would decay faster, and the evidence of Miรจ's corpse could be destroyed?"

"No, it's not, Lord Meng, where did Xia Guan think of such a vicious method, it was all thought up by that Mr. Fang." Zhao Lie hurriedly denied it.

"Fang Junhe came up with it, and you were also there?"

"In, in the ......" The beads of sweat on Zhao Lie's forehead kept rolling down, he knew that as long as he opened his mouth, there was no turning back, so he could only explain it head-on.

"Who's there?"

"There is a prison guard, Guo Gonggong. Fang Junhe, as well as several of his henchmen. โ€

"Besides, no one else?"

"No more!"

"You guided them to the abandoned brick kiln in the west of the city?"

"Yes, the lower officials don't dare to disobey their orders, that Mr. Fang said, if the lower officials don't obey. Not only will the career of a petty official be terminated, but even a small life will not be guaranteed! โ€

"He threatened you like that, did he tell you personally?"

"I didn't say it explicitly, but the lower officials heard that this is what it meant." Zhao Lie's eyelids raised in a little panic, and he said expectantly.

Still guessing, Meng Yan also knew that Guo Jing was a reckless man, but Fang Junhe was not, how could he send such an obvious handle to a person he didn't know?

Guo Jing can also be regarded as a feudal official. After so many years of mixing in officialdom, I don't understand this, and the bones and scum that have long been pitted by people are gone.

"This official asks you, before transporting Lord Tang's body to the abandoned brick kiln in the west of the city, did anyone ever do anything to Lord Tang's body?"

"Hands and feet?"

"Yes or no?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, the subordinate hasn't even seen what Lord Tang looks like." Zhao Lie said aggrievedly.

"You didn't see the body?"

"They wrapped their bodies in white cloths, and the subordinates were afraid to see the dead, how dare they go to see them!" Zhao Lie said.

"Except for Guo Jing's people. Has anyone else seen the body of Master Tang? Meng Yan frowned and asked.

"Nope. Xia Guan didn't know if any of them had seen Ma County, but Xia Guan really hadn't seen it. Zhao Lie said.

"In the abandoned brick kiln in the west of the city, when the body of Lord Tang was baked, were you at the scene?" Meng Yan continued to ask.

"The subordinate just took them over, and then left."

"Did you see them bake corpses?"

"Xia Guan saw it." Zhao Lie replied honestly.

"Let Lord Zhao sign and draw the pledge!" Meng Yan nodded. ordered Shen Zhiming to bring Zhao Lie's confession over and ask him to sign it.

"My lord, did you let me out if the official signed the pledge?" Zhao Lie asked excitedly.

"You sign and draw first!"

"My lord, it seems that the mystery is going to be solved. We have to wait until Fang Junheya is escorted to the case. Kuroko said.

"Well, let's go back."

Return to the pavilion.

Meng Yan lay down in his clothes, but he couldn't sleep.

He was worried about Zhang Chong and them, Fang Junhe was the key person, and once he was charged, Guo Jing and the others would never be killed.

Urgent, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, these people did it.

Therefore, this may be a tragic confrontation, and he is still a little worried about Zhang Chong, after all, it is not child's play to carry out such a task.

The night rain was getting heavier and heavier, and listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Meng Yan's mood was a little chaotic.

"Husband, what's wrong, you haven't slept yet?" Guo Yue turned over, opened her sleepy eyes and saw Meng Yan staring out the window with blazing eyes, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's raining so hard outside, I'm a little worried about Zhang Chong and them, it's the first time to perform such a mission, I'm worried about whether they can handle it."

"Husband, it's useless for you to worry now, and you'll know when the news comes back tomorrow." Guo Yue persuaded.

"Well, it's useless to worry, sleep."

When he woke up, the sky was already bright, and when Meng Yan touched his hands, the person next to the pillow had already gotten up, and he didn't even notice it.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

"Brother Xiaochao, wait a minute!" Meng Yan got up and said while getting dressed.

The door opened, and Guo Xiaochao came in.

"My lord, the Beijing Flying Pigeon encrypted message, this is the translation." Guo Xiaochao handed Meng Yan a note.

"Okay, as long as Fang Junhe arrives at the case, Tang Yun's suicide case can be clarified." Meng Yan was overjoyed when he saw the contents of the note.

"I'm afraid that Guo Jing won't give up, and the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry!"

"Didn't I send Zhang Chong to bring someone to answer, is there any news?" Meng Yan nodded.

"Not yet, but it's coming soon, according to the itinerary, there should be news at noon." Guo Xiaochao said.

"Well, then let's wait."

"My lord, the Ma County Order is here, and he also brought a person."

"It's not that you don't want to call Ma County Commander in the future, it's Counselor Ma!" Meng Yan reminded Wang Heng, "Come over quickly." โ€

"Yes, sir!"

"Xiaguan Ma Weiran see my lord."

"Lord Ma is exempt, why did you come to see this official?" Meng Yan raised his hand slightly.

"Little Wu, don't knock on Lord Qincha yet!" Ma Weiran pushed the young guy who came with him forward.

"Xiao Wu kowtowed to Master Qincha!" The little guy knelt on the ground with a pop of his knees, and knocked Meng Yan three times.

"Hurry up. Get up. Meng Yan hurriedly stood up.

"Little Wu, you tell Lord Qincha what you saw and heard that night again." Ma Weiran commanded.

"That night, after the villain handed over to Lao Wang, he set off from West Street......"

"Wait, Master Ma. This little five? Meng Yan was a little confused, what kind of identity did Ma Weiran bring such a person over?

"My lord, Xiao Wu is a husband, he and Lao Wang are responsible for the shift in the city, Lao Wang is responsible for the first half of the night, and Xiao Wu is responsible for the second half of the night." Ma Weiran explained.

"Husband, could it be that night, what did this little fifth brother see?" Meng Yan asked excitedly in surprise.

"Yes. My lord! โ€

"Little Fifth Brother, say it quickly, say it quickly!"

"Master Qincha, after the villain handed over to Lao Wang that night, he set off from West Street according to the usual route...... When passing by the county Ya Street, he suddenly heard footsteps in front of him, and the villain was timid. The county hasn't had a big thief in years...... The villain didn't dare to knock on the hammer anymore, and quietly walked over. As a result, I saw a person behind the county jail, and he desperately pulled on a rope, and it was too dark for me to see what it was......"

"Wait a minute, little fifth brother, can you describe what kind of posture that person is?" Meng Yan stopped.

"Adult, villain......" Xiao Wu blushed. Overwhelmed.

"Can you be a real official and take a look?" Meng Yan said busily.

Xiao Wu nodded, leaned back slightly, staggered his feet slightly, and made a struggling backward pulling movement.

"My lord, isn't it the posture that Ge Tong used to investigate the ventilation hole in the back alley?"

"Not bad. It seems that our speculation is correct. Meng Yan nodded solemnly.

"Little Fifth Brother, when did you see it?"

"When it's almost the fourth watch, every time the villain passes by the county office, it's the fourth watch." Little Five Ways.

"Little Fifth Brother, have you seen that person's face clearly?"

"No, it was too dark, and he turned his back to the villain and couldn't see it, and the villain didn't come out again when he saw that he came into the county prison later." Little Five Ways.

"My lord, around the fourth watch, it should be the time of Lord Tang's death."

"This can't be presumptuously conclusive, what the little fifth brother sees is only the appearance, one of the supporting evidences, and it can't fully explain the problem." Meng Yan shook his head slightly, the handling of the case must be strictly prohibited, it would be better if Xiao Wu could see that person's face clearly.

"By the way, little fifth brother, how tall is that person?"

"It's about five feet taller, a little taller than the villain!" Xiao Wu knew that he was not very good at talking, but he could gesture.

"It's about the same height as Ge Tong predicted."

"If you see this person again, will you recognize it?" Meng Yan asked.

"Does the villain recognize that person's back?" Xiao Wu said a little nervously.

"It's okay, it's good to know the back, little fifth brother, you go down to rest first, have you eaten?" Meng Yan asked.

"Nope!"

"Take someone to eat first, and then rest." Meng Yan ordered, "Master Ma, come in with me." โ€

"Ma Weiran, this little fifth brother won't be your ......"

"My lord, look at what you said, no matter how confused the lower official is, he will not do such a thing, this little five was originally a little beggar, and the official saw that he was pitiful, so he adopted him in Jinong Yuan......"

"Does he have no parents and family?"

"It's okay, the official can come out with some pestering and ask someone to send him back." Ma Weiran sighed.

"Can you guarantee that everything he says is true?"

"The subordinate guarantees his future life!" Ma Weiran solemnly swore an oath.

"Okay, in a moment, you take his confession and ask him to sign it." Meng Yan nodded.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

"I've finally found an eyewitness, and although it's only circumstantial evidence, it's better than nothing." Meng Yan let out a long breath.

This news is very good for him, at least Xiao Wu's reading of this qiฤ“ corroborates his and Ge Tong's inferences about this case.

It is very likely that Tang Chu is the way they deduced to die, he killed, and he still murdered! (To be continued......) R1292
