Chapter 294: The dice next to the white bones
Yu Changping didn't believe it: "Could it be that the person buried in this grave is not your sister?" I'm going to dig it up. ”
Yu Changping turned to Su Xianrong and said, "Send someone, please send someone to order the grave to be dug immediately." ”
Su Xianrong looked at the lonely grave and said, "Then I ordered someone to dig the grave." ”
Su Xianrong instructed the four servants, "Dig!"
After the four officials waved the shovel and pickaxe in their hands and were busy for a while, they saw the lid of a coffin slowly appear in Su Xianrong's eyes, and after the coffin lid was completely dug out, Su Xianrong ordered someone to open the coffin lid.
There was a very unpleasant smell of rotting corpses from the inside of the coffin, which made Yu Changping's intestines almost tumble, he walked to a cypress tree, and almost vomited the yellow soup in his stomach, before he walked to Su Xianrong's side and asked, "How is it?" Is there an amulet of Xiaomin's daughter in it? ”
Su Xianrong saw that Liu Tianxiong had finished examining the body, he jumped out of the coffin, walked to Su Xianrong's side, and said, "Miss Su, there is no amulet in it."
Yu Changping clapped his hands together excitedly and said, "Great! I knew that Yu Zhaoxiang was not a good thing, but I didn't expect him to steal my daughter's talisman. Two poor people, you must be the master of the small people! ”
Liu Tianxiong glared at Yu Changping and said, "Are you sure that your daughter was buried alive in this grave by you eight years ago?"
Yu Changping was shocked for a while and said: "This ...... It was the little daughter buried by Xiaomin's son Yu Zhenfu back then, and Xiaomin was not present. ”
Yu Changping turned his head to look at Yu Zhenfu and said, "Zhenfu, did you bury your sister in this grave back then?"
Yu Zhenfu said timidly: "Child...... The child buried his sister there. ”
Liu Tianxiong said: "This is strange, since you buried your sister in this grave, why is the deceased a man?" According to Bencha's investigation, the man's age was no more than twenty-five years old, and although his bones did not have the amulet that Yu Yuan said outside, there was a gambling device on his body! ”
Yu Changping blinked strangely, as if he had heard the strangest thing in the world, and said, "What? How can my daughter's bones become a man's? Besides, he never had any gambling equipment on him. ”
Liu Tianxiong took out the dice and showed it to Yu Changping: "Who do you think this dice belongs to?"
After Yu Changping saw it, he shook his head and said, "Xiaomin doesn't know."
Su Xianrong said: "Master, this result is somewhat unexpected to me. We know that Yu Hongsheng is not dead, this is not a secret, we knew it when we were in Ping'an County. I thought that this tomb would be empty, but now, we saw a corpse, which shows that there was indeed a person buried alive back then, since the deceased was not Yu Hongsheng, then whose bones were there? ”
Liu Tianxiong slowly turned around, looked at Yu Zhenfu with angry eyes, and said: "Yu Zhenfu, it was you and the four long-term workers of your family who brought Yu Hongshang to the mass grave, and Yu Hongshang did not die, naturally because you were kind-hearted and let go of your sister." But what Ben didn't understand was who the young man in this tomb was. ”
Yu Zhenfu and Liu Tianxiong knelt down, and the four long-term workers behind him also immediately knelt down for Liu Tianxiong.
Among them, a man with a tall figure and broad shoulders preemptively said, "Master Liu, please don't embarrass our little master, this matter is all the fault of the small people." Back then, when the four of us followed the little master to take Miss Hongshang to the mass grave, the little master was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to bury his own sister alive, so he planned to let Miss Hongshang go. The four of us are favored by the little master on weekdays, so we all listen to the little master, and the little master said that he would release his sister, and the four of us naturally have no opinion. ”
When Liu Tianxiong heard this, he asked very strangely: "Since you have released Yu Hongsheng, who is buried in the grave?"
The long-term worker with broad shoulders said: "That person is Zhou Dejiang, the bookkeeper of our remaining foreign family."
When the long-term worker mentioned Zhou Dejiang, his eyes were still full of anger, and he said, "That Zhou Dejiang is a bastard." When he was in charge of the accounts of the rest of our staff, he would give the rest of us some bad ideas every day, and he asked the rest of the staff to find various reasons to deduct our wages, and also added many tasks to us, and if we couldn't complete it, we had to deduct the money. After his wife died, he has been eyeing Miss Hongshang, and he has repeatedly hinted that Yu Yuanwai will marry Miss Hongshang to him, but Yu Yuanwai dislikes him for being poor and has no income, so he does not agree. On the night when Miss Hongshang was buried alive, Steward Zhou suddenly appeared, and at that time, he smiled evilly and said that he had seen this scene, and unless the little master could promise him a condition, he would tell Yu Yuanwai about it. The despicable and shameless Zhou Dejiang actually said that he wanted the little master to chase Miss Hongshang back, and then fly away with him. ”
"Don't say that the little master doesn't agree, even those of us who do long-term work don't agree, the four of us plus the little master In the process of scuffling with Zhou Dejiang, it was the small people who pushed Zhou Dejiang to the ground, and at that time where Zhou Dejiang fell, there happened to be a sharp stone that stabbed Zhou Dejiang in the back of the head. After Zhou Dejiang was killed, we buried him in a dug grave. In this way, our little master took the key to the account room on Zhou Dejiang's body, opened the door of the account room, and took out a hundred taels of silver, so that Xiaomin would send the silver to Miss Hongshang no matter what. Xiaomin complied, and when Xiaomin came back, Yu Yuanwai was losing his temper, he said that Zhou Dejiang was a thing to eat inside and out, and he actually took advantage of the chaos to steal a hundred taels of silver from the account room, and he was nowhere to be found. Yu Yuanwai was afraid that he would be punished by the government for burying his daughter alive, so he didn't report it to the official, and the matter came to this day. ”
As soon as the long-term worker finished speaking, Yu Zhenfu said: "Send someone, that Zhou Dejiang was pushed to the ground by Xiaomin, and his death has nothing to do with others, please send someone to sentence Xiaomin for his crime."
The four long-term workers also argued, saying that Dejiang had pushed him down by himself this week.
Liu Tianxiong scolded loudly: "What are you arguing about? Is the sin of killing the head fun? After the five of you killed Zhou Dejiang, instead of reporting to the official, you buried the person, once this crime is established, the five of you will not be able to escape the involvement. Unless one of you is willing to come forward and stop all the charges against him, all five of you will be beheaded. ”
"Ahh
"This ......"
The expressions of the five people were very shocked, and when it came to cutting off their heads, the five people seemed to be a little more sober, bowed their heads and stopped arguing. If no one is willing to come out and confess, then all five of them will be beheaded, Liu Tianxiong did not joke with them. Liu Tianxiong's eyes looked at the five people in front of him, as if he was looking for the person who would confess his guilt, who would admit that he was the real murderer?
