Chapter 425: The Fourth Man

Speaking of this, Meng Yan deliberately paused, looked at the reactions of the people around him, and found that with him as the center, hundreds of officials of the Great Court Association surrounded him in a circle, and Emperor Zhu Qizhen was also surrounded in the middle.

But this monarch is still conscious at all.

"What's the way, Master Meng, tell me quickly?" Meng Yan's narration has whetted his appetite more and more, and this kind of bizarre case can arouse the fire of gossip in everyone's hearts the most.

"Pretend to be appeased, send her back to her hometown in the river, and then let the robbers kill her halfway, so that he can sit back and relax!"

"Good way, this murderer is also extremely smart!" When someone heard this, they couldn't help but admire.

"It's a pity, although he calculated well, Ke Xi'er is not a girl who likes to be manipulated, she did not go out of the city according to the murderer's arrangement, and then was killed halfway, but found an excuse to slip away halfway, and she returned to the capital."

"Coming back?"

"This is about to talk about the fourth man, the young man from the Hejian Hall, Cui Tianming!" Meng Yan paused deliberately before speaking.

"And a fourth?"

"This Cui Tianming and Xi'er are similar in age, every time Xi'er goes to the Hejian Hall, Cui Tianming receives them, and after coming and going, the two get acquainted with each other, this Cui Tianming is strong-blooded, Xi'er is a fair girl, and she is good-looking, this Cui Tianming naturally likes it, but he knows that Xi'er's relationship with He Wendong, Jiao Hong and Cao Qin, even if he likes it in his heart, he doesn't dare to confess to Xi'er, not to mention that he knows what kind of woman Xi'er is."

"This Cui Tianming is cheap enough, why did he like such a woman?"

"Your Excellency. You don't know, this Cui Tianming is a slave, and he is also a lowly, and so is Xi'er, even if Xi'er gets rid of her slave status, she can't find a good family, she can only find a person like Cui Tianming. ”

"That's right, there are regulations on marriage in this dynasty, and good and low do not intermarry, these two people are quite compatible......"

"The real murderer is arranged. Find someone to send Xi'er out of the city. The handkerchief escorted all the way, thinking that the trouble was solved, who would have thought that this Xi'er was unwilling to go back to the countryside to live a hard life. And she was still carrying a three-month-old child in her belly. That went back with a big belly. How can she get married, so she secretly left the team in the name of Xiao Xie halfway. Ran all the way back! Meng Yan said, "The person who sent Xi'er out of the city is none other than Cui Tianming, the guy from the Hejian Hall, this Cui Tianming is also an infatuated species, he thought, Xi'er will return to his hometown, then he will definitely not come back, when the time comes, there is only one way, find a man to marry, who to marry is not to marry, then it is better to marry yourself, so he drove the carriage to catch up, and as a result, the two met on the halfway!" ”

"This is providence!"

"And then?"

"Xi'er and Cui Tianming returned to the capital and lived in Cui Tianming's house, Cui Tianming was alone, usually going out early and returning late, and he didn't notice that there was one more person in his family, and this stay was half a month."

"Cui Tianming proposed to Xi'er several times, but Xi'er just didn't agree, at first the child in the womb was not Cui Tianming's, marrying him was really a loss to him, and then Xi'er simply said to Cui Tianming that she didn't look down on him!"

"This woman just doesn't know what to do!"

"Xi'er wants to climb high branches, and the child in her belly is a bargaining chip, because this child is very likely to be Cao Qin's, Cao Qin is eager to have a son, if this child is Cao Qin's and a boy, then she is Cao Qin's concubine, the mother is expensive by her son, it is not a problem, at that time, it is not her who serves people, but others who serve her!"

"This woman is really shameless......"

"It's so faceless!"

"Knowing Xi'er's thoughts, Cui Tianming was naturally sad, and Xi'er was noisy and bored, so she had to go to the street to relax, Cui Tianming persuaded her to no avail, so she had to ask for leave to accompany her on the street, but what she didn't expect was that she was bumped into by a real murderer on the street."

"The real murderer found Cui Tianming, and under the temptation and temptation, Cui Tianming promised to kill Xi'er in exchange for a reward!"

"This Cui Tianming really deserves to die, how can he do this, this is two lives!"

"Cui Tianming had no intention of killing Xi'er, but then he calmed down and planned to beg Xi'er again, if she didn't agree to be with him, he would return the silver he got from the real murderer."

"It's a pity that Xi'er still didn't agree to talk to Cui Tianming, but reprimanded Cui Tianming for wanting to eat swan meat, Cui Tianming was angry, pushed Xi'er to the bed, picked up the pillow and covered Xi'er's mouth and nose......"

"This Cui Tianming killed Xi'er?"

"Master Meng, this official remembers that you mentioned at the beginning that Xi'er was violated before she died, could it be that this Cui Tianming raped the corpse after murder?"

"Ahh

"There was no way to judge the situation at that time, according to Cui Tianming's confession, he didn't directly kill Xi'er at that time, when he was happy, Xi'er should not be dead, and there was still a breath, but after she was happy, she found that Xi'er had died of anger!" Meng Yan explained that this kind of thing, unless Xi'er came back to life, there was no way to know about it.

No matter what, Cui Tianming murdered and raped, this is a capital crime, no matter what, I am afraid it will be impossible to escape death.

"Xi'er is dead, since Cui Tianming has met the real murderer, he must know who the real murderer is?" Second assistant Chen Xun asked.

"The real murderer is Jiao Hong!"

"Sure enough, it's him, he's the informant, and he's an eyewitness, and there's no one else at the scene, who else could it be besides him?"

"I really didn't expect that the truth was like this, this Jiao Hong was so mad that he actually committed such a bad crime!"

"Master Meng, could it be that Cui Tianming deliberately framed Jiao Hong in order to reduce his responsibility, and besides, the person was killed by Cui Tianming, why is the corpse in Su Xinzhai, it doesn't make sense?" Yu Shi Du Yingjie questioned.

"The official found many suspicious points at the scene of the crime, including two pieces of evidence pointing the murderer at Jiao Hong, the first evidence, the officer found a purple fabric on the wooden thorn under the bed in Bai Suxin's room, this fabric was compared, it was on the silk pants that Jiao Hong was wearing that day, there are human and physical evidence, which shows that Jiao Hong had been under Bai Suxin's bed that day, this is strange, why did Jiao Hong stay under Bai Suxin's bed, if there were no bad intentions, this doesn't make sense?"

"Since there is evidence, it is very telling!"

"Yes, yes, Jiao Hong is Bai Suxin's uncle, how can he hide under his niece's bed, this is obviously an attempt......"

"This second suspicion, that is, the door of Bai Suxin's room and the railing of the corridor outside the door have been replaced, and we found the remains of the replaced door and railing in the firewood room, which shows that there was a fierce fight at the time of the crime, and Bai Suxin's confession said that she was knocked unconscious by Jiao Hong, and when she woke up, she saw Li Chenyan lying in a pool of blood, her hand held a sharp knife, and the sharp knife was inserted in Li Chenyan's chest, and Dongchang inferred from this that she was the murderer!"

"This is normal, the knife is in Bai Suxin's hand, and the knife stabbed into the chest of the deceased, of course Bai Suxin is the murderer!"

"Could it be that someone moved Bai Suxin to Li Chenyan, and then killed Li Chenyan with a knife and put the handle of the knife into Bai Suxin's hand?"

"This ......"

"With the permission of Lord Li Xiong, we conducted an open coffin autopsy on the deceased Li Chenyan, and we found that Li Chenyan had many wounds on his body, and the most fatal wound was not on the chest, but on the neck!" Meng Yan said, "At this point, Lord Li Xiong can also testify!" ”

"Master Meng is right, when they returned my son's body, I also checked, and the wound on my son's chest was not big, not enough to be fatal, but the wound on the neck, the knife was very deep, almost cutting into the throat, it was a fatal injury!" Li Xiong said loudly.

"Therefore, Your Majesty, at that time, Weichen judged that Li Chenyan was definitely not killed by Bai Suxin, and someone must have deliberately made this illusion and framed him to escape punishment!"

"What Aiqing said is extremely true, if you don't explain it and find so much evidence, I don't believe it's so!" Zhu Qizhen nodded.

"Li Chenyan has many abrasions on his body, as well as bone injuries, after examination, many of them are new injuries, plus the evidence found at the scene of the crime, Wei Chen concluded that there must have been a fight at the scene, and it was very intense!"

"Li Chenyan's family history, his martial arts are not weak, he is not very old, he is already a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, it can be seen that he is the pillar of the imperial court, and Jiao Hong, he has another layer of identity, that is, the secret agent recruited by Dongchang in the people, this person is strong in martial arts, it can be said that he is not under Lord Li Xiong!"

"Master Meng is right, I have fought with him, and Jiao Hong's kung fu is not under me." Li Xiong has already been out anyway, what do you have to say.

"As for Bai Suxin, a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken, such a fight will never have anything to do with her, and there is no fourth person on the scene, so this fight must happen between Li Chenyan and Jiao Hong." Meng Yan continued.

"Not bad!"

"My son's skills are not weak, but his lack of practical experience, especially in a small space, limits his performance." Li Xiong gritted his teeth and said.

"Jiao Hong learned the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, which is different from the martial arts in the army, Li Chenyan is inexperienced, and he is subject to the environment, and he is killed by the enemy, which is also expected, of course, if Li Chenyan wants to escape for his life, Jiao Hong will not be able to kill him, probably to protect Bai Suxin, so his life is not guaranteed!" Meng Yan sighed.

"Yan'er likes Su Xin very much, since they got engaged, the relationship is very good, I'm very happy to be a father, if it weren't for the early death of Brother Bai and the delay of Su Xin's exit, Su Xin would have been the daughter-in-law of my Li family a long time ago!" Li Xiong cried bitterly, he not only lost his beloved son, but also went to his wife, and now he is left alone in a family, how big is this blow, how can outsiders understand.

"Lord Li, please mourn." Guo Nu walked over and pulled Li Xiong aside to persuade him. (To be continued......)
