"Jiao Hong, let's talk about the second case, which is also related to you." Meng Yan asked slowly.

"The second case?" Jiao Hong was stunned, but he quickly regained his composure, "Is Master Meng talking about the case of the villain's assassination in Cuiyun Tower?" ”

"Have you been assassinated?"

"Master Meng, what do you mean by this, the villain was obviously pierced in the chest at that moment, when you are also present, the villain's life is still pulled back by you, the grace of saving life, the villain has always been remembered in the five!" Jiao Hong's face changed slightly, and he said excitedly.

"This officer never saved you, and you were not assassinated."

"Master Meng, the villain knows, you don't want people to know that you saved me, I understand, I understand......"

"Since you know, don't mention the assassination again?"

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, what is the second case that the adult said, and the villain still doesn't quite understand?" Jiao Hong knew very well that Meng Yan deliberately did not admit that he saved him, and there must have been a purpose, but he couldn't guess it for a while, and he couldn't force Meng Yan to come, so he could only admit it first.

"Bai Suxin's maid Xi'er was killed."

"Xi'er is dead?"

Jiao Hong's surprised expression fell into Meng Yan's eyes and was not surprised at all, although he didn't have much contact with Jiao Hong, but he learned about this person's past from the side.

Cunning and treacherous, and fickle, Bai Suxin's reputation was ruined by him in this way, so that Bai Suxin was identified as adultery and murder, and the neighbors were convinced one by one.

In this era of etiquette and defense, reputation is so important to a girl, more important than life.

Something. Bai Suxin couldn't argue, because when other people's perceptions of her were fixed, it was useless for her to explain more.

Silently bear this qiē, hoping that Tongguò will get married and get out of the sea of suffering, but I didn't expect that before this day, waiting for it is indeed a crime of killing the head.

Why would anyone believe these rumors, or is it a jealous psychology, Bai Suxin's beauty, there are definitely not a few men who covet her, and these people can't get it. Naturally, there will also be a kind of I can't get. Nor do you let others get the psychology.

If you can't eat grapes, they say that grapes are sour, and these people are the ones who fuel the rumors.

For such a scheming person, you must not use conventional methods to make him obediently confess his crimes. He also took it out to convince him. irrefutable evidence comes.

"Are you surprised?"

"Yes. I always thought she had gone back to her hometown, Master Meng, how did she die? Jiao Hong asked anxiously.

"Do you care about her?"

"Don't hide it from your lordship. The villain and Xi'er like each other, and they wanted to accept her as a concubine, but Bai Suxin disagreed, Xi'er was her maid, and if she didn't agree, the two of us couldn't be together. Jiao Hong admitted.

Meng Yan sneered in his heart, Jiao Hong really can't be underestimated, he actually admitted his relationship with Xi'er, obviously knowing that he would find Xi'er's bones in Su Xinzhai's grocery store.

Once Xi'er's bones are discovered, Xi'er's social relations will inevitably be investigated, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for him to hide his relationship with Xi'er, since he can't hide it, it's better to admit it, anyway, Xi'er is dead, and he can say whatever he wants.

"In this way, you still have a grudge against Bai Suxin, right?" Meng Yan grabbed the handle of Jiao Hong's words and asked.

"Hate is not nothing, Lord Meng, you don't suspect that I killed Li Baihu, right?" Jiao Hongdao.

"From this point of view, you have a motive to kill."

"Yes, the villain admits that I have a motive to kill, but Xi'er and I haven't reached that point yet, even if Bai Suxin refuses to let Xi'er be with me, there is still another way, besides, Xi'er followed me, at most she is a concubine, for such a little girl, the villain can't do it, what do you say?"

"You went to Suxinzhai to find Bai Suxin, have you ever seen Xi'er?"

"No!"

"And what about after the crime?"

"Her fellow villager, He Wendong, a merchant in Hejian, informed me that she had gone to the Hejian Guild Hall, and I went to see her the next night." Jiao Hongdao.

"Did you stay overnight?"

"Stay, stay......" Jiao Hong said.

"How far has your relationship with Xi'er got?"

"My lord, that's it, that's it, you know......"

"Do you often go to the Riverhouse for trysts?"

"Occasionally, occasionally......"

"Jiao Hong, the official asked you, when did you and Xi'er start?" Meng Yan paused, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then asked.

"It's been two years, right?"

"Is it from now, or from the last time you saw Xi'er?" Meng Yan asked.

"Let's count from the last time I saw Xi'er."

"When was the last time you saw Xi'er?"

"After that night, Xi'er came to me again, and I gave her a sum of money and arranged for her to stay in her hometown for a while, and then pick her up after the case settled." Jiao Hong explained.

"What does Bai Suxin's case have to do with Xi'er, why did she go back to her hometown to live temporarily?" Meng Yan asked.

"Bai Suxin is Xi'er's master after all, that afternoon, she secretly ran away and didn't go out, didn't close the back door, this time caused the adulterer and fiancé to encounter, if the government knows, her relationship with me is bound to be known, she has an affair with me, and her reputation is too ugly, so I let her go back to her hometown to live for a while, and I entrusted her to that He Wendong, who is also his fellow countryman."

"Has Xi'er returned to her hometown?"

"He Wendong later told me that he personally sent Xi'er back." Jiao Hongdao.

"What is your relationship with He Wendong, and why do you trust him so much?" Meng Yan continued to ask.

"I also knew He Wendong because of Xi'er, he came to the capital to do business, I gave him some help, some business contacts, back and forth, they got acquainted and became friends."

"Xi'er was killed, and the body was hidden in Su Xinzhai's grocery room, you know Xi'er so well, do you know what enemies she has, or who she offended?"

"To speak of enemies. She is a little girl, how can she have any enemies, but if she wants to say something offensive to people, then Bai Suxin, Bai Suxin is very dissatisfied with Xi'er, often beats and scolds her, and doesn't give her food at every turn, the villain often sees her crying secretly, the villain sympathizes with her, and gradually has a trace of feelings, and then they are together. ”

"Your business. Does Bai Suxin know? ”

"She seems to know. I'm not sure, but once again Xi'er told me that Miss asked her about her relationship with the villain, but she didn't dare to say. Prevarication passed. ”

Meng Yan had to admit it. This Jiao Hong is a master of making up lies. He now knows that Xi'er is dead, and he can't ask her for verification, and Bai Suxin hasn't completely cleared his name. She still has a bad reputation in the past, and who would believe the words of a woman who has such a dirty charge as adultery?

As for He Wendong, as long as he is a normal person, he will find a way to cover up the dirty things he has done, and betraying him is tantamount to betraying himself.

It's just that he doesn't know that He Wendong has experienced a life-and-death terror, and some things have already confessed.

Of course, how much of He Wendong's testimony is true is also up for debate, after all, he is also exonerating himself subjectively, and it is not impossible to put the blame on Jiao Hong.

"The belongings and antiques in Su Xinzhai are gone, what is going on, do you know?" Meng Yan asked.

"The villain discussed with his sister, these things are not safe in Suxinzhai, and these are also the property of the Bai family, so I will take them home."

"Don't you know that everything in Su Xin Zhai belongs to Bai Suxin alone?" Meng Yan asked coldly, "What's more, Bai Suxin's case has not been solved for a day, these belongings belong to the category of evidence, even if you want to move, you can only have the government to move, even if you are Bai Suxin's uncle, you don't have the right to pull them back home directly, don't you understand?" ”

"Master Meng, how can the villain know so much, thinking that this Bai Suxin has been sentenced to death, these things are naturally from the Bai family, and there is nothing wrong with us pulling them back?"

"This Su Xinzhai has been sealed, and you take Su Xinzhai's property privately, which is a crime of theft of evidence in the law, and you can be exiled up to 3,000 li according to the value of the evidence, do you know?"

"Three thousand miles of exile!"

"You must know how much the property in Su Xinzhai is worth, if you judge according to this, your sister and brother will have to go to prison for at least ten years."

"Master Meng, it's not so strict, we're just taking our own things back, is it also stealing our own things?"

"Bai Xinyuan left a will before he died, Su Xinzhai and Su Xinzhai's land deed, house deed and property belong to Bai Suxin herself, and as her dowry, can there be such a thing?"

"There is indeed such a will, but it was all made by Bai Suxin who threatened my brother-in-law, how can there be any reason why the family business should not be left to his son?"

"The official also heard that this will was a testimony that Bai Xinyuan invited the owner and neighbors to testify?"

"Yes, but wasn't my brother-in-law sick and confused at that time, so he made such an unreasonable will."

"This official doesn't care, the official only knows that since there is such a will, the official can only judge the case in accordance with the will!" Meng Yan said, "The will states that Su Xinzhai's land deeds, house deeds and property belong to Bai Suxin, so no one can touch these things without permission, even if you are her own uncle." ”

"Master Meng, a person who has been sentenced to death, her death, these things still don't belong to my sister and nephew?"

"Even if Bai Suxin is found guilty and finally goes to the execution ground, these things completely belong to your sister and nephew."

"Why?"

"The will states that this is Bai Suxin's dowry, in other words, she is a person with a mother-in-law's family, and she has exchanged marriage letters, although she has not yet married in the church, but as long as the Li family admits it, the Li family has the right to inherit!" Meng Yan explained solemnly.

"Master Meng, this ignorant is not guilty, it's a big deal, the villain asked my sister to return everything."

"You and your sister's can be returned, but what about someone else's?"

"Someone else's, this ......" Jiao Hong couldn't sit still, it was not difficult for him and his sister to spit out what they ate, but those people in Dongchang ate it, did they still let them vomit it out? (To be continued......)
