Chapter 232: The corpse has been defrauded
Liu Wang said so much in one breath, he paused.
Song Ruilong probably also heard the clue, and said slowly: "After your young lady eloped with Liu Quanfu, your master can explain the reason to Nangong Xiang and return the bride price he accepted, why do you still lie that your young lady is dead and give her a funeral?"
Liu Wang said: "My lord doesn't know, that Nangong Xiang can be said to be a very domineering person in Ping'an County, and no one dares to go against him." My lord also knows that Nangong Xiang is not a good person, but for the sake of money and status, he is still willing to sacrifice his daughter's happiness in exchange for that kind of honor for himself. After my lord learned that the young lady eloped with Liu Quanfu, he was very angry and very worried at the same time. He was afraid that the next day, Nangong Xiang would come to ask for someone, if Nangong Xiang knew that Dong Xiuhong ran away with a down-and-out man, his face would not be able to hang, and he would definitely ask my lord to compensate them ten times the bride price, which would simply cost my lord's life. In desperation, my lord sent out all the dozen or so family members in the family, holding torches to look for the young lady. ”
Song Ruilong asked a little strangely: "Since your young lady eloped with someone else, how could things be so complicated later?"
Liu Wang said: "My lord didn't plan to hold a funeral for my young lady. But the change of things is in my lord's eldest daughter, Dong Xiuzhu. My lord thought that the second lady was likely to hide from his eldest daughter, so my lord personally led five people and went directly to Dong Xiuzhu's house with torches. When we knocked on the door, Dong Xiuzhu was a little reluctant for us to go in and search, and my lord decided that Dong Xiuzhu must have hidden Dong Xiuhong and Liu Quanfu, so he took us in. "We all searched Dong Xiuzhu's home, but there was no trace of Dong Xiuhong and Liu Quanfu. When we finished searching and came to the guest room, Dong Xiuzhu was sitting on top of a big box and said proudly, I said no, you don't believe it. My lord felt that the big box under Dong Xiuzhu's buttocks was very suspicious, so he asked Dong Xiuzhu to open the big box on the spot, but Dong Xiuzhu said that he didn't have the key, and the box was just some tattered clothes, and there were no Tibetans. My lord was very angry, pulled Dong Xiuzhu up, and let us find a stick and rope to carry the big box back to Dong's mansion. When we put the box in the upper room, my lord was relieved, and then, sitting on a chair and sipping tea, let us use a sledgehammer to break the copper lock on the box. However, when the box was opened, everyone present was shocked. ”
Song Ruilong said slowly: "Is there a tall monk lying in the box?"
Liu Wang was surprised and said, "Ah! My lord, how do you know? ”
Song Ruilong said: "Don't care how the county knows, tell me quickly, what happened to that monk?"
Liu Wang said: "After we opened the box, the master was shocked to see a monk curled up inside. By the time we pulled the monk out, he was no longer breathing. ”
Song Ruilong said sharply: "Someone died, why didn't you report it to the official at that time?"
Liu Wang said timidly: "At that time, we wanted to report to the official, but the master said, Miss is lost, how to explain to Young Master Nangong tomorrow?" It is better to bury this dead monk as a woman instead of his daughter, so that Nangong Xiang can't blame him for the blame, and only need to return part of the bride price money at that time. After the old man made up his mind, all the people in the house were busy, and when the small people set the coffin and carried it back, the monk was already wearing a shroud. "Wearing a wig and a silver hairpin, a gold necklace and gold bracelets, she really looks like a big girl." The old man instructed us to put the monk's body in the coffin, without the coffin lid, after everyone cried, Xiaomin and some others were about to close the coffin lid, at this time, the monk suddenly sat up, we all thought it was a corpse, so everyone was so frightened that they hid aside, and when we all reacted, the monk ran out of the courtyard. Everyone was afraid and did not dare to chase after them. ”
Song Ruilong said slowly: "This county understands, after the monk ran away, because you didn't have a corpse, and you were afraid that the people of the Nangong family would be suspicious, so you asked around if there was a female corpse?" It just so happened that you ran into Wu Tuntian and saw a woman on Wu Tuntian's back, and when you inquired, you knew that she had just died, so you asked your master to buy Wu Tuntian's body. It costs a thousand taels of silver, right? ”
Liu Wang bowed his head and said, "Yes!" The corpse was very quiet, and did not run until the end. ”
Song Ruilong looked at Su Xianrong and said that he had already written his confession, "Draw a charge for him."
After Liu Wang finished painting, Song Ruilong looked at Dong Yunheng and said, "Dong Yunheng, what else do you have to say?"
Dong Yunheng's face was expressionless, and he said, "I have nothing to say."
Song Ruilong shouted to the audience: "Take Dong Xiuzhu to the hall."
Dong Xiuzhu is a woman of twenty-seven or eighty, her face is smeared with a very strong fat powder, the smell is very pungent, and she looks very enchanting and charming.
After Dong Xiuzhu kowtowed to Song Ruilong, she said, "My lord, the women are guilty!" I ask for your pardon. ”
Song Ruilong said: "Since you are guilty, tell me what crime you have committed."
Dong Xiuzhu said: "Folk women should not have an affair with a monk."
Dong Xiuzhu's head was lowered. His face was as red as an apple.
Song Ruilong said: "Tell me, what's going on with you and that Qingshui monk?"
Dong Xiuzhu said with some embarrassment: "Here's the thing. Since the husband of the Minjin Temple died, the Minwu went to Mengzhen Temple and asked the monk there to do a ritual for the husband of the Minjin Temple. When the ritual was over, the folk woman left the monk alone and told the lonely and painful of the monk, but the monk was empathetic, and every word he said made the woman feel very comfortable. He would appear every time when the women were the most lonely and uncomfortable, and after about a month, the women were taking a nap at home that day, and the monk suddenly appeared in front of the women, and our eyes were ...... at the moment of docking."
Dong Xiuzhu shamelessly told all the details, which made Su Xianrong stop the pen in his hand, and looked at Song Ruilong and didn't know whether to remember or not.
Song Ruilong interrupted Dong Xiuzhu's words and said, "You don't need to go into detail about these episodes, just tell me about what happened between you and Monk Qingxiu last night!"
