Chapter 316: Bai Jiao's Passing Hall
"Lord Meng ordered someone to forcibly pour sugar water into the women, are you afraid that something will happen to the women, and you can't explain to the above?"
"Bai Jiao's, do you think that a hunger strike can force the official to bow his head and let you out?"
"Lord Meng, sometimes being young and vigorous comes at a price!"
"It seems that you are still stubborn!"
"The woman just reminded Master Meng, don't let the fire not burn others, and set yourself on fire first." Bai Jiaoshi stroked the sideburns in front of him a little, and said quite calmly and confidently.
"It seems that you are not going to cooperate with the official's questioning today?"
"Then it depends on what Master Meng asks, and the women will know what to answer?"
"What a sharp mouth, it's the first time I've seen a shameless and unrepentant woman like you!"
"Master Meng, don't talk nonsense, when did the women arrange to be shameless?"
"Do you have to say something from the official?" Meng Yan smiled coldly and stared at Bai Jiao's Dao.
"Lord Meng, what do you want to say, it's nothing more than the misconduct of the people's women, it's because others are jealous of the people's women, so they are framed indiscriminately!"
"Really? What about the men's clothes, shoes, hats, and underwear found in your room? Meng Yan asked.
"What does that mean, although a woman has died of a man, she has been married, so what's so strange about having men's clothes at home?"
"Do you want the official to call your summoning girl, Hongtao, over to confront you?" Meng Yan snorted coldly.
"That lazy girl, she loves to lie the most, do you believe her words, Lord Meng?"
"Yes. What about your mother, the cook in your house? β
"Mother Liu, this old thing, often steals food, I found it several times, if it weren't for the poor of her family, the women took pity on her and drove her away, but I didn't expect her to slander the women......"
"It seems that the descendants of the Bai family don't have a good person in your eyes!"
"Uh......"
"The official wondered, you don't like these people, why do you stay by your side and listen to them?" Meng Yan sneered.
"The women of the people are kind-hearted. If they are driven away by me. I can't find the next home, as long as it's not too much, I'll admit it......"
"Not bad, not bad. Bai Jiao's. Listen to what you say. This official is going to write to the imperial court to ask you for a watch! Meng Yan clapped his hands.
"Don't worry about Lord Meng, the women don't care about those false names!"
Meng Yan knew that this Bai Jiao clan was not a good thing, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless?
Such a shameless woman is still vibrant. To turn evil into good is simply disgusting.
"Bai Jiao's family, your private morality official is not interested in it, the official arrested you for a murder case, you must already know."
"Master Meng, what do the women know?"
"Okay, this official will officially inform you." Meng Yan was very patient and had time today, so he said calmly, "We found a female corpse in Suxinzhai, and after the examination and witness identification, we can confirm that the identity of the female corpse is Bai Suxin's personal maid Xi'er. β
"What does this have to do with women?"
"Of course it has a relationship, after Bai Suxin's adultery and murder case, Dongchang conducted a comprehensive search of Suxinzhai, that is to say, if Xi'er was killed and hid in Suxinzhai, it would definitely not be found, so it can be concluded that Xi'er must have been killed after the crime and hid in the grocery room, and after the crime, the rice noodles and various raw materials and property for making ZuΓ² pastries in Suxinzhai were removed, and in addition to Dongchang, only you and your brother Jiao Hong could do this!"
"Lord Meng doesn't suspect that the folk woman killed Xi'er, right?" Bai Jiao asked rhetorically.
"This official asked several subordinates of your family, and it was confirmed that before the case was decided, you and Jiao Hong took people to move away the goods in Su Xinzhai, most of the rice and noodles and other grains were sold by you, and the rest was left for you to eat, the property, we don't know the exact number, but it is not difficult to know this, you only moved the property and antiques, but turned a blind eye to the account books in Su Xinzhai, these are now patrolling the yamen, and we will calculate the amount of property secretly removed according to the account books, As for the antiques collected by Old Man Bai and Bai Suxin's personal belongings during his lifetime, this official will ask Miss Bai Suxin to confirm them one by one. β
"These belongings and antiques are all from our Bai family, what's wrong with the women taking them?"
"All the goods of Su Xinzhai are Bai Xinyuan, that is, your husband made a will to leave to Miss Bai Suxin before his death, and it is stated in the will that these things will be used as the dowry of Miss Bai Suxin in the future." Meng Yan sneered, "Dowry, you know, right? β
"What about the dowry, it's not that she is not married, and besides, she killed her fiancΓ© with her own hands!"
"Whether it is Bai Suxin or not, whether it is the murderer who killed Li Chengyan, but in terms of law, these properties do not belong to the Bai family!" Meng Yan said, "In other words, you are not qualified to dispose of these things without authorization, even if Bai Suxin is convicted of murder, Su Xinzhai's and all the goods should also be awarded to the Li family, not the Bai family!" β
"Master Meng, this doesn't make sense, does it?"
"The Bai and Li families have exchanged marriage letters and set a wedding date, if it weren't for Bai Xinyuan's sudden death, I'm afraid there would have been a pair of happy mandarin ducks in this world, their marriage contract has been confirmed by the official media, the marriage book is written in black and white, you not only take other people's property privately, but also suspected of stealing evidence, obstructing the Yamen in handling the case, resulting in the lack of key evidence, resulting in unjust, false and wrongful cases, what crime should you be?" Meng Yan pointed at Bai Jiao's body and scolded.
"Master Meng, this is all what you said, how do the women know that what you said is right, Dongchang has a conclusive conclusion about Bai Suxin's adultery and murder, and there is no mention of this at all, the women are just unaware at most, how can they be suspected of stealing evidence?" Bai Jiao quibbled.
"If you don't know, can you just push your sins away with just one word of ignorance?"
Bai Jiao was silent, it was obvious that she could no longer find an excuse to defend herself at this moment.
"This official has repeatedly asked Dongchang and the Criminal Department to verify it, and they all said. In addition to the two of them, only your sister and brother have been in and out of Suxinzhai after the incident, and your younger brother Jiao Hong can freely enter and exit Suxinzhai because of the special status of Dongchang, what the official said is right? β
"This ......"
"If you don't deny it, you acquiesce?"
"The case-handling personnel of Dongchang and the Criminal Department have no grievances or hatred with Xi'er, of course they will not have a motive to kill, but you are different!"
"Master Meng has wronged the people's women, and we have no grievances with Xi'er, why do you want to kill him?"
"That old man Hu came to the mansion in his Chinese New Year's Eve, but he just asked you for wages, and you didn't give it. Instead, they falsely accused him of stealing the Lord's property. This is what the official has seen with his own eyes, not to mention, according to the official's understanding, your stepmother has a bad relationship with her stepdaughter Bai Suxin. And your brother. Needless to say, this official will not be said. Therefore, Xi'er, as Bai Suxin's personal ring, you will definitely not like her very much. Over time, you also have a grudge against her, Bai Suxin was arrested, she was a girl, and she had nowhere to go, so she found you and hoped that you would take it in, but you didn't want to take it in, so you had murderous intentions, killed people, hid them in the grocery room, and waited for the next day to receive Su Xinzhai, and then dispose of it separately, right? β
"No, I didn't kill her, the dead girl lion opened her mouth......"
"What lion has a big mouth?" Meng Yan's eyes lit up, and this Bai Jiao clan was still exposed by his series of inferences and assumptions.
"No, nothing ......"
"Bai Jiao's family, you can't deceive the official's ears, I heard you just now, that dead girl lion opened her mouth?" Meng Yan asked sharply.
"That girl wants a sum of money to go home, but the woman didn't agree, she is not the adult of the woman, the deed of sale is in the hands of Bai Suxin's girl, why should the woman give her money?"
"Oh, since that's the case, why did Xi'er ask you for money, why didn't she go to someone else to ask for money?"
"Who else can she go to but the women?"
"Xi'er's deed of sale is in Bai Suxin's hands, even if she asks for money, she can't leave the capital without the master's consent, she won't know this truth, right?"
"It seems that Bai Suxin gave her the deed of sale, right?"
"Like?" Meng Yan sneered, "Since Xi'er got back the deed of sale, she is a free body, why does she still ask you for money, do you have any handle in Xi'er's hands?" β
"No, how can a woman have a handle in the hands of that stinky girl!" Bai Jiao's eyes denied in a panic.
"What is the relationship between Xi'er and your brother Jiao Hong?"
"The women don't know!"
"How did Xi'er come to your Bai family, you always know this, right?" Meng Yan continued to ask.
"It was when the old man was alive that he brought her back, and the woman only knew that the old man once went home and passed by Beishikou, and saw a little girl with a straw mark on her head, saying that she was sold as a slave to treat her younger brother, and he looked pitiful, so he spent money to buy it, just to be a companion for Bai Suxin!" Bai Jiao's Dao.
"What time?"
"It's February of the third year of orthodoxy, I can't remember the specific date."
"Do you know Xi'er's background?"
"The woman only knows that her hometown is in the river, and the rest is not clear."
"Let's press a handprint!"
Bai Jiaoshi got up with some suspicion and stepped forward and pressed his handprint on the confession.
"Take Bai Jiao's family down!"
"Childe ......"
"Needless to say, take people down." Meng Yan gave Lin Tianxing a "silent" look and ordered.
"Whoa!"
"Son, this Bai Jiao clan obviously has a lot of things that she hasn't explained, she must know a lot, and she is still deliberately hiding it from us." Cai Jin was also a little puzzled, why Meng Yan suddenly stopped asking.
"A woman like Bai Jiao's family, as long as she opens her mouth, it will be much easier to do, so there is no need to push it too hard, it will backfire." Meng Yan explained.
"What about the rats that the prince asked Tianxing to catch?"
"In Bai Jiao's cell, we can't force her too tightly, but we can't let her be too quiet, understand?" Meng Yan Road.
"Childe doesn't want her to calm down and think about countermeasures, right?" Cai Jin's eyes lit up.
"Sort of." Meng Yan smiled, mainly to add mental torture to Bai Jiao's body, and when she reached a certain point, she didn't need him to ask, she would also take the initiative to explain herself.
"Judging from Bai Jiao's reaction today, it must be Xi'er who took a certain short child of Bai Jiao's family, she was ready to extort Bai Jiao's money and then go back to her hometown, but what she didn't expect was that she didn't get the money and gave her her life!" Meng Yan Road.
"Son, what kind of handle will it be?"
"It's not hard to guess, how did Jiao Hong appear in Bai Suxin's room?" Meng Yan smiled.
"Xi'er stole the key to Bai Suxin's room and gave it to Jiao Hong?"
"If Xi'er goes to the yamen to expose this matter, what will be the consequences?" Meng Yan nodded.
"Bai Suxin's case will inevitably have a big reversal!"
"I'm afraid this makes the Jiao sisters and brothers murderous, if Bai Suxin is wronged, their sisters and brothers will go to prison, Mr. Cai, if it's you, what should I do?"
"Of course, it's murder!" Cai Jin said without hesitation.
"How can we prove these inferences and assumptions?"
"That fellow villager of Xi'er, He Wendong, he must know some inside information?" Cai Jin said.
"Yes, Xi'er has a very close relationship with this He Wendong, and Xi'er lived in the Hejian Hall for a few days after Bai Suxin's case, and He Wendong and Jiao Hong have known each other for a long time, so finding this He Wendong may give us a surprise." Meng Yan Road. (To be continued......)
