Wei Bixiao said very respectfully: "Brother Song, it's like this. Master Liu and I were asking around the county for an antique collector with a bearded face, and many people said they hadn't seen it. But when we asked about the big inn from all directions, the shopkeeper there told us that there was a bearded collector named Qin Dali living in their inn. After renting a basement in the inn, he went out to buy antiques during the day and stayed in that house at night. But I don't know why, the guest has been out for nearly half a month and hasn't returned to the inn. ”

"Tomorrow, the lease of the basement house is about to expire, but the shopkeeper there can't find anyone to pay the rent, so they plan to report to the official tomorrow, and it just so happens that Master Liu and I asked about it, and the shopkeeper there told the truth. Master Liu and I felt that this Qin Dali was probably the murderer of Bai Juan, so we immediately opened the door. In the basement, my master and I found a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, but there were no bronze swords. We felt that Qin Dali was suspicious, so we wrapped all his things in a package and brought them back, hoping that Brother Song would check them. ”

After Song Ruilong understood the reason for the matter, he looked at Guo Tianli and said, "Guo Tianli, where did you say that antique collector Qin Dali went?" ”

Guo Tianli said softly: "This... How does this little people know? ”

Song Ruilong said lightly: "How could you not know? The county advises you to tell the truth, otherwise, after the county has figured everything out, you will know what happened to you. ”

Guo Tianli said in a daze: "My lord, Xiaomin doesn't know what the adults are talking about?" There are no bronze swords in these antique calligraphy and paintings, what does this mean? Could it be that Xiao Min didn't sell the bronze sword to the collector? ”

Song Ruilong's face was like a bronze statue, and he said without any expression: "Whether you sold the bronze sword to that collector or not, this county doesn't know, but this county knows that after you sold Qin Dali's bronze sword, Qin Dali disappeared from Ping'an County." Could this be a coincidence, you say? ”

Guo Tianli was a little panicked and said, "My lord, Xiaomin doesn't understand what the adults are talking about?" ”

Song Ruilong said with surprise on his face: "When the county checked in the backyard of your house, I found a place, at the root of the big willow tree, where the soil had traces of being loosened, and there were dead small ants and a sparrow on the top of the soil. At the time, the prefecture didn't think it was strange, but now that I think about it, there must be something buried under the big willow tree. Do you say it now or not? ”

After Guo Tianli listened to Song Ruilong's words, he immediately kowtowed to Song Ruilong and said, "My lord, spare your life!" Adults spare their lives. Xiaomin said that what was buried under the root of the tree was Qin Dali. But my lord, this is completely Bai Juan's idea, and it has nothing to do with Xiaomin? ”

Song Ruilong angrily slapped the fan on the table and said, "You shut up for this county!" You are the head of the family, if it weren't for your nod, would your wife dare to kill Qin Dali? Besides, now that Bai Juan is dead, do you think you'll be fine if you put all the blame on Bai Juan? ”

Song Ruilong immediately took five servants to the backyard of Guo Tianli's house, dug under the big willow tree, and sure enough, a corpse was dug up.

The corpse is very well preserved and has not yet decomposed.

After Song Ruilong saw the corpse, he knew that there must be poison in the corpse, and this poison must have been caused by Guo Tianli and his wife.

After Song Ruilong dug up Qin Dali's body, he let Guo Tianli see that he was sitting on the ground at that time.

Song Ruilong ordered someone to take Guo Tianli back to the east wing room and continue to interrogate: "Guo Tianli, honestly explain how Qin Dali's body is in your backyard?" ”

Qin Dali knew that he was guilty, so he stopped arguing, and said: "My lord, here's the thing, half a month ago, Xiaomin heard about an antique collector Qin Dali at the Sifang Lai Inn, he was very generous, and liked to buy antique calligraphy and paintings at a high price. Xiaomin thought that there was a bronze sword at home, but the sword was fake, it was built by Xiaomin's father, and it was used at home to prevent thieves. After Xiaomin told Qin Dali about the situation that afternoon, he took him to Xiaomin's house. At that time, Qin Dali looked at the bronze sword and said yes, but in the end, he actually saw the flaw in it, and said that he would not buy anything, and said that it would only be five taels of silver at most. Our husband and wife originally wanted to sell it for five hundred taels, but Qin Dali actually said that it was only five taels, and the gap was too big. Xiao Min and Bai Juan couldn't accept that fact, and at the same time, Xiao Min also saw the one hundred and fifty taels of silver in Qin Dali's arms, so they decided to kill Qin Dali without doing anything. Then they took the money from him. ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "How did you couple kill Qin Dali? ”

Guo Tianli's forehead was frightened out of a few drops of sweat, and he wiped the beads of sweat with his trembling right hand and said: "My lord, Xiaomin was strongly opposed to Xiaomin's wife doing that at that time, but Bai Juan said that the one hundred and fifty taels of silver is enough for our couple to spend for a while, and besides, Qin Dali is just a person from another country, even if he is killed, as long as no one sues, naturally no one will know that he is dead." Xiaomin felt that Bai Juan's words were very reasonable, so he listened to Bai Juan's words. Bai Juan took out a packet of arsenic from under the bed and put it in Qin Dali's teacup, and after Qin Dali drank the tea, he immediately kicked his legs. After Qin Dali's death, Xiaomin took out the one hundred and fifty taels of silver on his body, and buried Qin Dali's body under the big willow tree in the backyard with his wife. ”

After Guo Tianli finished saying those words, he immediately kowtowed to Song Ruilong and said, "My lord, spare my life, my lord." Xiaomin really didn't poison Qin Dali, it was Xiaomin's wife who poisoned him. ”

Song Ruilong slapped the fan on the table and said, "Shut up!" You and your wife conspired to kill Qin Dali, and you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you? You and your wife coveted Qin Dali's one hundred and fifty taels of silver, so they had a bad plan and killed Qin Dali with arsenic, and then you seized one hundred and fifty taels of silver from Qin Dali's body, which was obviously a murder for money. ”

After Song Ruilong asked Guo Tianli to tell the whereabouts of arsenic and the whereabouts of the poisonous teacup, he asked Su Xianrong and Wei Bixi to retrieve the evidence.

Song Ruilong looked at the evidence on the table, glared at Guo Tianli and said: "Guo Tianli, the facts that you and Bai Juan poisoned Qin Dali are all there, the evidence is ironclad, and the county sentenced you to death." What do you have to say? ”
