Qin Zhentian was still a little unaccustomed to sitting, and said timidly: "The villain is Qin Zhentian, I don't know what crime the villain has committed, the adults want to arrest the villain here?" ”

Su Xianrong looked at Qin Zhentian and said: "You can see clearly, no one has arrested you, and you are not shackled by anklets now, you are still free, our adults invited you to ask about the relevant situation, and you have to cooperate with Lord Song to handle the case." ”

Qin Zhentian stretched his neck and asked strangely: "My lord, the villain still doesn't know who died, the villain has been confused since Master Liu asked the villain. ”

Song Ruilong said with a calm face: "You don't need to be too clear, you just need to answer the questions raised by the county honestly." ”

Qin Zhentian nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes... The villain must answer truthfully. ”

Song Ruilong asked, "Where were you when you arrived at Yin last night?" ”

Qin Zhentian didn't think about it and said: "Back to the adult, when I arrived at Yin last night, the villain drank at Zhang Kunxiong's house. The four of us were playing the lottery game, and we didn't go to sleep drunk until the fifth watch, and we slept in Zhang Kunxiong's house, and it wasn't until almost noon this morning that the villain opened the door of the silk village to do business. ”

When Song Ruilong heard Qin Zhentian say this, he realized that noon had passed, and it was the end of the hour.

Song Ruilong said: "Did you go home last night?" ”

Qin Zhentian shook his head and said, "No." The villain has been drawing lots to drink. ”

Song Ruilong took out a copper lock from a black burlap bag and gave the official behind Qin Zhentian a look, and the official walked in front of Song Ruilong and brought the copper lock in front of Qin Zhentian.

Song Ruilong said: "You take a closer look at this lock, do you know it?" ”

Qin Zhentian looked at it for a long time and said, "This lock is not mine." ”

Su Xianrong was a little angry and said: "You read carefully, you must know that telling lies will lead to imprisonment." ”

Qin Zhentian stretched his head out and looked at it again, and said, "It looks like the copper lock that locks the door in my house, but the copper lock in my house is good, and the copper lock has been broken." ”

Qin Zhentian said in surprise: "Oh, it's not good, my lord, did you say that the villain recruited a thief?" The thief smashed the copper lock of the villain's house? The villain has to go home and see if he has lost anything of value. ”

Su Xianrong said: "Don't worry, you haven't lost anything in your house, this copper lock was torn off by Lord Song from the door of your house, and there are blood stains on the lock, and now it is a court evidence." Someone slept in your room, and when that person left, he didn't even fold the quilt, I ask you, did you really not go home last night? ”

Qin Zhentian shook his head and said, "My lord, I really haven't been home all night. ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "But the door of your house was locked from the outside, and there are all kinds of signs that someone came to your house last night." You said you hadn't been home, and the county asked you, who else has the key to your house besides you? ”

Su Xianrong added: "As far as we know, your son Qin Hongxian has never lived in your house, he and his wife Ding Jiayi have already moved to No. 17 Huoyun Lane, Pingding Road, the purpose is to be able to take care of the silk village more conveniently, because Ding Jiayi's silk village is located at No. 70 Pingding Road." ”

Qin Zhentian said: "Of course I know that the silk village was still given to them by the villain. As for who has the key to the villain's house, the villain doesn't know, because the villain's key is only the villain's own, and everyone else..."

Song Ruilong looked at Qin Zhentian with a very special look and said, "Qin Zhentian, since you said that the key to your house is only available to you, then you can take out the key to your house and let the county see it." ”

Qin Zhentian readily agreed, and reached out to take the key in his arms, his hand trembled, touched it for a while, suddenly took it out, looked at Song Ruilong in a panic and said, "Go back... If you go back to the adult, the villain doesn't know when he has lost the key. ”

Song Ruilong looked at Qin Zhentian and said, "You'd better remember where the key was forgotten, otherwise, you yourself will not be able to escape the suspicion of murder." ”

Qin Zhentian's face turned pale with fright, and said, "My lord, the villain said that the villain may have forgotten the key to the cloth of the silk village." The villain will go back and look for it. ”

Su Xianrong glanced at Song Ruilong, and Song Ruilong said: "This county will accompany you to find it, go!" ”

Song Ruilong asked the two officials to follow behind Qin Zhentian, he and Su Xianrong walked behind the two officials, and before they left the gate of the court, Qin Zhentian knelt in front of Song Ruilong and said, "My lord, the villain is guilty." The villain is guilty. ”

Song Ruilong stopped, smiled and said, "What are your crimes?" The county just asks you to take the county to find the key to your house, and if you really lose it, the county will also send a notice to the whole county, so that everyone can help you find the key. ”

Qin Zhentian was so frightened that he shuddered, and said: "My lord, the villain is guilty, the villain just said that the villain's key was forgotten to the silk village, but in fact, no, the villain's key was lent to the villain's son last night." ”

Su Xianrong said in surprise: "Are you talking about Qin Hongxian?" A prodigy who was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fifteen? ”

Qin Zhentian said: "That's all the people in the county praising him, and now he is praising this child, he thinks he is a showman, so he doesn't put others in his eyes, even my father he looks down on, he said that he is reading sage books, Xiaomin is selling silk and satin, and his body is stained with copper stench, so he doesn't want to live with the villain, he moved to No. 17, Huoyun Lane, Pingding Road a year ago, and now lives with his wife Ding Jiayi." ”

Song Ruilong looked at Qin Zhentian and said: "Let's go, let's go back to the inquiry room and say, if you are dishonest again, the county will be promoted to the hall to ask, when the time comes, the third class of officials will stand on both sides, each with a water and fire stick, and knock on the ground vigorously, and you yourself will kneel in the middle and reply." If you think that's better, the prefecture won't bother. ”

Qin Zhentian trembled with fright, and said, "Adult, the villain said that's it." ”

After returning to the inquiry room again, there was still a servant standing behind Qin Zhentian, and after Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong sat down, Su Xianrong asked: "Qin Zhentian, you said that you gave the key to your son Qin Hongxian, I want to ask you, why did you give the key to your son?" Didn't you say that your son hated you? Why would you like to go back to your house? ”

Qin Zhentian thought about it and said, "Hey, who doesn't want their son to live with him?" The villain also very much hopes that Qin Hongxian can move back and live with the villain. So, Hongxian said that he wanted to go home for a night, and of course the villain was very happy and gave him the key. ”
