Chapter 100 Chapter 39 The Real Murderer
When Mo Wengu said this, Lord He's expression obviously changed.
Soon, Lord He walked into the center of the room.
When he saw Liu Dafu kneeling there, Lord He was surprised and said, "Dafu! How could it be you? ”
"Lord He......" Liu Dafu looked pained, his eyes were both guilty and frightened, and his complicated emotions made him not know how to continue to speak for a while.
Lord He looked at Liu Dafu who was so embarrassed, beat his chest, and said bitterly: "Dafu, how did I tell you when I recruited you into the official post, how could you be so confused and embark on this road of no return!" ”
Liu Dafu only lowered his head and kept choking and sobbing.
Lin Ziyue and Mo Wengu glanced at each other, and the latter also accused him: "Yes, Liu Dafu, you are really confused." ”
When Lord He heard this, he turned his head at the moment, knelt down and took the initiative to plead guilty: "Lord Wang, Lord Lin, Dafu is a person from Yangzhou Guanyi, and it was the lower officials who brought him into the official post with one hand, and now he has made such a big mistake, and I can't get rid of the lower officials, please punish the prince even the lower officials." ”
Mo Wengu smiled slightly: "Lord He's words are wrong, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are strict, whoever is responsible will bear it, and no one can be allowed to cover up and plead." ”
Mo Wengu's words seemed to tell him tactfully, no matter how much he pleaded, Liu Dafu's capital crime was inevitable.
Master He hid his face and said sadly: "Dafu, I have done my best, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that you...... Hey......"
Mo Wengu watched Master He behaving there, and did not say anything to let him get up, but continued to pace, continuing to say what he had just said.
"Liu Dafu, you are so confused." Mo Wengu said forcefully, "You are confused, you should not even know that you are being used, you are confused, you are confused, you have no ability to judge at all." In the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you kill someone, you must pay for a life, when you were used and killed the five members of the Li family, did you ever think about your parents, wife and children? ”
Liu Dafu cried bitterly, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, and fell on the ground and cried: "I was wrong, Lord Wang, the villain is really wrong, the villain should not blindly follow the instructions of Lord He, and do such a thing that hurts the heavens and the heavens." ”
"Liu Dafu! What are you talking about? I'm so disappointed in you! Master He shouted angrily, "I don't treat you well on weekdays, how can you take revenge and bite me?" Lord Wang, this Liu Dafu is only afraid that he will lose his heart and go crazy, and he will bite people directly like this, regardless of good or bad! Although he is a subordinate of the lower official, please don't spare him because of the lower official! If such a fanatic does not teach him some lessons, he is afraid that he will harm others! ”
Mo Wengu felt funny when he saw Lord He's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, he took his hands unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord He, this king already knows who the real murderer is, and this king will never wronged you." ”
Hearing that Mo Wengu was on his side, Master He breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became a little proud.
"Lord He, get up quickly." Mo Wengu slowly walked to Lord He's side and stretched out his hand to help him up.
Master He hurriedly got up: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
A faint smile appeared on Mo Wengu's lips, and a hand naturally rested on Lord He's shoulder.
Such a close distance, such a close action, this makes Lord He feel more secure.
Mo Wengu patted him on the shoulder and said slowly: "Let this king restore the situation on the day of the crime." On the day of the incident, after returning from the banquet after the banquet, the head of the Li family went to bed early, and after Mrs. Li waited for her mother-in-law to wash, she took a pair of children to the next bedroom to sleep. The subordinates live in the west room, while Master Li, Mrs. Li and others live in the east room......"
These were all speculated by Mo Wengu when he went to the Li family to investigate that day. The real situation was just as he had speculated.
After Mrs. Li coaxed the two children to sleep, it was still early at night, so she took the half-embroidered fan to Master Li's room to plan to continue embroidering, and at this time, Liu Dafu quietly sneaked into Li's house. He first completely charmed Master Li and Mrs. Li with smoke, and then, starting from Master Li's father, ended the lives of the Li family one by one. Mrs. Li was the second to be killed, because after hearing the old lady's screams, she was awakened, and in despair and fear, she rushed out of the room and fought Liu Dafu to the death, which is why Mrs. Li had other bruises on her body in addition to knife wounds. Mo Wengu pieced together the events of the day little by little.
This terrifying and meticulous inference made Liu Dafu and Master He couldn't help but tremble.
"In fact, there are subordinates outside the house at this time, the Li family is a wealthy family, and dozens of guards are hired at home, but none of these guards and subordinates stand up. Because, they have already been coerced and bought by Liu Dafu. Mo Wengu was halfway through speaking, turned his gaze to Liu Dafu, and asked, "Dafu, do you say that what this king said is right?" ”
Liu Dafu lowered his head and was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence. Now he doesn't want to resist for a long time, he just hopes that this matter will end early.
Lord He shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's really unpredictable......"
Mo Wengu paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly became low: "Everyone is tracking down the process of the case, but no one has noticed a little strange thing - Master Li once went to see a banquet before returning to the house, and the person who initiated this banquet was none other than Lord He." Therefore, the real murderer is you, Lord He! ”
This speculation, which sounded boundless, surprised Lin Ziyue.
And Lord He was suddenly stunned, and defended himself: "Back to the prince's words, the official did organize a banquet on the day of the incident, but the official invited more than Master Li alone, Master Li was already depressed and sad at the banquet, and the official also gave guidance, which many people can testify." ”
"That's right, but Lord He, you probably didn't expect that Master Li wrote a letter that night and ordered the secret guard to send it to the capital. This letter is written how you coerced him into joining you and how you instigated him to do poppy business for you! ”
Lord He's face turned green: "Master Li is dead, no one can be sure whether that letter was written by Master Li himself, the subordinate officials are honest, and they will definitely not do these outrageous things, and I hope that the prince will be clear!" ”
Mo Wen Gu took his hands, and his expression was extremely cold: "Whether Lord He is innocent or not, the Criminal Department will naturally give you a clue." Someone is coming, and Lord He will be taken back to Beijing! ”
As soon as Mo Wengu's words fell, a guard immediately came out and detained Lord He and Liu Dafu together.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lin Ziyue couldn't help asking: "So the case file is fake, the secret letter is true, King Qing, you already know who the murderer is, right?" ”
Mo Wengu hooked his lips and did not speak.
In fact, as early as the first time he came to Yangzhou to release grain, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Lord He, which was one of the reasons why he came to Yangzhou with Lin Ziyue this time.
