"Lord Meng, the lower officials have found out the identity of the deceased in the Yongding River."

"Oh, got it?"

"Yes, the deceased's name is Ye Qi, he is a procurement little eunuch of the inner palace eunuch, he entered the palace at the age of eleven, a native of Hejian Mansion, my lord, this is his information." Li Duo knocked on the door and came in, and happily put a document in front of Meng Yan.

"Have the deceased's social connections been checked?"

"I checked, he is a procurement eunuch, and there are more opportunities to leave the palace, but his status is relatively low, and he has no grudges with anyone, as for the situation in the palace, there is no way for the lower officials."

"His situation in the palace will be investigated, you can first investigate some of the people he has been in contact with recently."

"Whoa!"

"This case should be done by an experienced veteran, after the killing, the ice is chiseled and the corpse is sunk, and ordinary people can't do it."

"As soon as the adults are placed like this, it will be much easier for the lower officials to check."

"My lord, the brother and sister have been detained long enough, should they be released?" Lin Tianxing came in.

"It's not time yet, you go and appease, the case will start soon, let them wait a few more days, and the loss of the official will compensate them twice when the time comes."

"Whoa!"

Bai Suxin's case is basically clear, it was Jiao Hong who killed him, he coveted Bai Suxin's beauty and wanted to do something wrong, but he happened to be bumped into by Li Chengyan.

And tragedy struck.

Afterwards, Jiao Hong framed Bai Suxin for murder, and bribed Cao Qin, a thousand households in Dongchang, to convict Bai Suxin of adultery and murder, and sentenced him to death.

Now the key is that there is a case within a case, and Bai Suxin's maid Xi'er was killed. And Xi'er is a key witness in this case.

If Xi'er's murder case is not clarified, Bai Suxin's case cannot be implemented.

Fan Xiping has been walking for two days, and according to the itinerary, they will arrive in Hejian Mansion in one more day

There are a total of four suspects who killed Xi'er, He Wendong, He Wenhai, Jiao Hong and Cao Qin, who went crazy!

Xi'er had relationships with these four men before her death, especially Jiao Hong and Cao Qin, and they had a relationship with Xi'er out of compulsion.

Among these four people. Except that He Wenhai has alibi evidence. Of course, we will not know until we investigate.

Cao Qin may be the father of the child in Xi'er's womb, and judging from his confession, he should not have known about it yet.

If Cao Qin learns that Xi'er is pregnant with his child. According to his nature. I should be able to take people into my own house.

Both He Wendong and Jiao Hong had a motive to kill. He Wendong and Jiao Hong both want to accuse Xi'er of doing things for him, and Xi'er hates these two people the most in her heart.

Xi'er's character is a little greedy and vain, plus she is not deeply involved in the world. It is most likely that she herself was too greedy.

He Wendong, He Wendong must know something, otherwise, he would not have gone crazy at this critical moment.

"Interrogate He Wendong immediately." Meng Yan made a decision.

He Wendong had already been transferred from the Imperial Prison to the special cell of the detention room of the Patrol Envoy Yamen, which was a private room for serious offenders or prisoners who needed to keep secrets, and special soundproofing facilities were used to prevent the people inside from knowing the information outside.

"He Wendong, it's over!"

"You invite me to eat sugar, okay, okay, I want to eat sugar, I want to eat sugar......" He Wendong said stupidly with straw stuck in his hair.

"It's not sugar, it's a hall!"

"Eat Sugar, Eat Sugar ......"

"Ward Prison, what are you doing with a madman?" A Jinyi guard captain who came to lead people said.

"That's what I said, people are here, you take them away, although this guy is a madman, but he is quite quiet, if you don't recruit him, he won't recruit you." Ou Feng said.

"Put on the hood, you're still waiting!"

The three stepped forward, and the two of them held He Wendong down, and one of them took out a black hood and put He Wendong's head down at once.

"Black, black, it's dark......"

"Hey, this kid still knows it's dark?"

Interrogation room.

"My lord, He Wendong brought it!"

"Bring people in!" Meng Yan commanded, and He Wendong, who was wearing a hood, was pushed into the interrogation room.

"Sit down!"

He Wendong was held down and sat on a special interrogation chair, his hands and feet fixed to the chair with cow straps.

He Wendong instinctively wanted to break free, but this was an interrogation chair specially designed to deal with stubborn prisoners, and even martial arts masters could not break free easily, not to mention He Wendong was an ordinary person?

"Take off your hood!"

Lin Tianxing stepped forward and lifted the black hood on He Wendong's head at once.

He Wendong's head was scattered, his eyes were dull, his eyes were similar to dead fish, the vitreous body was covered with bright red blood, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"He Wendong!"

"Who is He Wendong, who is He Wendong, hehe, I want to eat sugar, eat sugar......"

"He Wendong, whether you are pretending to be crazy or really crazy, then Jiao Hong has already admitted that he killed Li Chenyan, what are you bothering to keep this secret for him?" Meng Yan said, "I don't know how to open up to the crimes of madmen, you are suspected of perjury, as well as smuggling and trafficking in human beings, stealing property in the palace with others, selling stolen goods, and making huge profits, even if it is enough to pull you to the vegetable market and behead you now." ”

"Eat Sugar, Eat Sugar ......"

"He Wendong, think about your family, you have an old mother, wife, and children at home, if they know that you are doing such a dirty thing, what will happen to them, and when you are raided, how will they live?"

"If you refuse to confess, the official will not be able to intercede for you, so you will be sent lightly, and you will wait to raid your home."

"Also, don't think that someone will help you transfer your property, your home has been monitored by my Jinyi Guard, if there is a slight change, you can directly raid the house and take people, this official has the right to cut first and then play, don't make a mistake!"

"Sugar, sugar, I want to eat sugar......"

"My lord, aren't you really crazy?" Cai Jin leaned into Meng Yan's ear and muttered.

"Mr. Cai, now the comparison between the two sides is patience. Whoever is more patient than the other, the more he is like this, the more the officer concludes that he is pretending. Meng Yan said.

"Oh."

"He Wendong, the official has said all the good things to you, you just don't want to admit it, right?" Meng Yan slapped the table, "Left and right, set it up for me!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Woo woo......" He Wendong was dragged up from the chair, and suddenly a drop of nose and a howl of tears cried!

"Torture!"

"Whoa!"

The whip was soaked in the saline stab, sucking it up slowly. Rip off He Wendong's prison uniform. Naked, the body hangs from the beam.

"My lord, how many?"

"Ten lashes first!"

"Gotta do it!" The jailer laughed cruelly, he was seconded from Dali Temple, and he also punished the prisoner for the first time.

I thought that this Lord Meng didn't like this tune. The prisoners are not served food these days. This hand is a little rusty.

Syllable!

A red mark appeared on He Wendong's white chest. It's a shame that Meng Yan didn't let them use a barbed whip, otherwise this time it would be more than just a red mark. It's the flesh and blood blurred.

He Wendong screamed, his limbs twitched, and his lips trembled.

Again!

Looking at the torture, if you don't have a little psychological element, Meng Yan has already seen it, and he himself has not suffered such treatment, Cai Jin, when he was arrested and put in prison, it was commonplace, and he still has whip marks on his body.

Ten whips went down, and He Wendong, an ordinary person, could not withstand it, and fainted directly.

"My lord, I've fainted!"

"Wake him up." Meng Yan coldly gave the order.

Stimulated by the cold water, He Wendong trembled as if he was swinging: "Cold, cold to death." ”

"Yes, you know it's cold, it seems that you are pretending to be crazy?" Meng Yan walked over and reached out to pinch He Wendong's jaw so that he could face him directly.

"My lord, according to the villain's experience, this guy can only take thirty lashes at most!" The jailer on one side stepped forward.

"Then let's get thirty lashes first!" As soon as Meng Yan let go, he coldly ordered.

"Whoa!"

The jailer was so excited that he raised his whip again.

"Master Meng, you won, I said, I said ......" He Wendong raised his head and said in a weak voice.

"Give him medicine, get dressed, and send him a bowl of hot ginger soup!"

"Whoa!"

After putting on his clothes and eating a bowl of hot ginger soup, He Wendong's spirit recovered a little, but it would take a few days to recover his previous state.

"That night, Xi'er came to me and said that she saw Jiao Hong kill with her own eyes, and I was shocked......"

"You mean, Xi'er saw Jiao Hong kill with her own eyes?"

"Yes, Jiao Hong came to her that day, in her room, was about to do that, Bai Suxin asked Xi'er to go downstairs to fetch hot water for her, Xi'er went, Jiao Hong stayed in the room, and when Xi'er brought the hot water up, she passed by her room, but found that Jiao Hong was gone, she was also startled at that time, she knew, Jiao Hong had already had that idea for Miss Bai......"

"You said Xi'er was standing outside with a bucket of hot water, and she didn't knock on the door?"

She wanted to listen to the movement first, but suddenly there was an exclamation from Miss Bai inside, and then the sound of the bucket being broken and the water flowing out, she was frightened and dropped the bucket and ran downstairs.

"And then?"

Then, she heard a knock on the door, she thought that Jiao Hong was upstairs violent to her own miss, so she hurriedly went to open the door, and it was Miss Bai's fiancé Li Chenyan who came in, so she told Li Chenyan that Miss Bai was upstairs in the back, let him go by himself!

"Xi'er didn't tell Li Chenyan that Jiao Hong was committing violence against Bai Suxin?"

"She didn't dare say it."

"And then?"

"Li Chenyan passed, the two fought in Miss Bai's room, the two fought fiercely, and in the end, Li Chenyan was defeated and was killed by Jiao Hong, and then, she saw Jiao Hong go downstairs to the kitchen and take a boning knife upstairs."

"Later, after Jiao Hong left, Xi'er secretly went upstairs, and then she understood that Jiao Hong's purpose was to blame her own young lady, she didn't dare to move anything at that time, Jiao Hong was thoughtful, she quickly left Su Xinzhai and came to the Hejian Hall to find me." Ho Wen Dongdao.

"Jiao Hong is thoughtful, how could he not find Xi'er?"

"How can Jiao Hong be familiar with Su Xinzhai as Xi'er, Xi'er knows that Jiao Hong killed someone and will definitely not let her go, so he hid, Jiao Hong couldn't find anyone, so he thought she was scared away!" He Wendong explained. (To be continued......)
