Chapter 173: Grievances and Snow
When King Yama heard that the grain chief was willing to confess, his eyes couldn't help but show joy, and he exchanged a knowing look with the judge.
"Immediately recruit from the beginning truthfully, if there is anything inconsistent with the record book, hum, the punishment is waiting!" King Yama slapped the startled wood again and shouted loudly.
"I recruit, I recruit, the small one must confess truthfully!" The chief kowtowed like pounded garlic and said, "The little one is willing to confess all his crimes, and only ask the king to spare his life!" ”
"As long as you confess truthfully, Ben Yama will be lightly dismissed, say it quickly!"
"Yes!" The grain chief raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "Three years ago, Li Xiucai went out to do business, leaving his wife Xianglian to guard the house, that Xianglian looked like a flower like jade, and she was young, she couldn't bear the loneliness, and she succeeded after a few small teasings, and the two of us were so good that we were reluctant to separate." I didn't know that at this time, Li Xiucai came back, and brought back a thousand taels of silver, and the little one saw that the money was hot, and he couldn't give up Xianglian, so he conspired with her......"
King Yama shouted, "What happened to the two of you conspiring? ”
"King Qiyu, the little one conspired with Xianglian to kill Li Xiucai and take the thousand taels of silver for himself!"
"How did you kill Li Xiucai, and how did you take the 1,000 taels of silver for yourself?"
"The king, the little one instigated Xianglian to get Li Xiucai drunk, and then drove an iron nail into his head through his nostrils, and after killing Li Xiucai, we were afraid that the case would be exposed, so we spent another hundred taels of silver to buy off the work of the county government, pretending that Li Xiucai died of a violent illness. Afterwards, in order to get Li Xiucai's property, the little one gave both soft and hard treatment, and accepted Xianglian as a concubine, gaining both people and money. ”
The process of the grain chief's confession was almost exactly the same as Han Fei's conjecture, and King Yama couldn't help but glance at the judge again, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, why did you kill your concubine Xianglian?"
"This matter was originally done without leakage, and the little one thought that he could sit back and relax, but he didn't know that Li Xiucai took a concubine outside, and his concubine came to visit him, learned of her husband's death, and did not believe in the reason for the death of a violent illness, and insisted on suing to the end...... The matter was big, and the little one was afraid that Xianglian's mouth was not dense, so he pushed her into the river and drowned. ”
"Li Xiucai's concubine's certificate, the county government did not accept it at that time, why do you want to kill people and kill people? After all, Xianglian has been with you for more than a year, how did you get this ruthlessness? ”
"Wang, the little one who killed her was not all for Li Xiucai's case, but for ......"
"And what, say it quickly!"
"King, that woman is a, shameless, and ...... I actually got together with the little one's son, if it was someone else, the little one could still bear it, but this ** thing...... The little one couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to kill her! ”
The king of Yama and the judge were relatively speechless, and they didn't expect that there would be such a song in the middle......
"Come on, take it down, and sentence it another day!"
After the grain chief was dragged down by two ghost pawns, the king of Yama took off his clothes and mask, but it was the prefect of the Song Dynasty in Suzhou, and the judge also took off his clothes, it was Han Fei.
The prefect of Song instructed the officials to take the lamp to remove the debris in the hall, and then took Han Fei into the prefect's duty room.
"Han Gongzi has helped so much this time, I really don't know how to thank him!" Governor Song said gratefully.
Han Fei smiled and said: "Governor Song, the teacher has said it, your own people don't have to say kind words!" Next, we should strike while the iron is hot and make this case confirmed! ”
"Yes, what does Han Gongzi think should be done next?"
"The students think that there are three things, one of which is to interrogate and make further confirmation of the words of the grain chief; second, excavate Li Xiucai's grave and find the murder weapon of the grain chief; Third......"
Seeing that Han Fei suddenly stopped talking, Governor Song hurriedly asked, "Master Han, what is the third?" ”
Han Fei smiled and said: "Third, it can also be said that it has nothing to do with this case, the chief of the grain is a person, there must be other grievances in Lijiazhuang, the chief of the grain has a lot of authority in the countryside, and the people dare not speak out in ordinary times, if the news of the suspected murder of the chief of the grain is released, and the people who are suspected of murder have been imprisoned, and encourage the people who are wronged to come to the government to complain......"
The prefect of Song has become the prefect, of course, he is not a stupid person, Han Fei is a little, he immediately understood, and said with great joy: "Yes, yes, in this way, it not only avenges the people, calms down the people's anger, but also makes the grain chief iron case like a mountain, even if he has any way, he can't turn the case over!" ”
"Song Governor Mingjian!"
"It's not this official Mingjian, it's your Han Gongzi's wisdom like the sea, and his insight is like watching fire!" Governor Song looked at the young and handsome Han Fei, and sighed: "It's a pity that the official's daughter is too young, otherwise she would be a concubine, and the official will marry her daughter to you!" ”
Han Fei had a black line on his face, and pretended to be flattered and said: "Governor Song's mansion is too loving, and the students can't afford it!" ”
"You Han Gongzi can't afford it, who can't afford it? In a few more years......"
Han Fei didn't want to continue the topic, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Governor Song's mansion rests, tomorrow I will go to find Li Xiucai's grave, and the students will also go back, so as not to worry about the teacher!" ”
"Okay, Han Gongzi, how about going with this official tomorrow?"
"The students obey the order!"
After tossing for a night, Han Fei returned to Du Mansion and was about to go back to his room to rest, when his servant told Du Yun that he was still waiting in the study and hurried over.
"Teacher, disciple, you've been waiting for a long time!"
Du Yun smiled: "It's okay, I can't sleep for a while, how is the case being tried?" ”
"The grain chief has all recruited!" Han Fei told the scene in detail from beginning to end tonight.
"Okay, this case is a case supervised by the Criminal Department, and the Song Governor made this great contribution when he first arrived in Suzhou, and his reputation will inevitably rise, and his future will be worry-free!" Du Yun laughed and said: "He has such a big help from you, there will be a report in the future!" ”
"The disciple never thought about asking for anything in return!"
"Well, your personality is clear for the teacher!" Du Yun suddenly stared at Han Fei and said, "The reason why the grain chief confessed so briskly, I'm afraid you have done something, right?" ”
"Mentor Mingjian!" Han Fei said with a smile: "The disciple added a little nerve stimulating medicine to Meng Po soup just in case, which can turn his spirit into a trance, this medicine is time-sensitive, and there is no trace afterwards!" ”
"Well, you go and rest, and tomorrow you will accompany Governor Song to find evidence of the crime!"
At noon the next day, Han Fei took a carriage and went out of the city with the Song prefect and his party, and arrived at the Lijiazhuang cemetery near noon. The reason why this time was chosen is that it is said that at noon, the sun is a little stronger, and the excavation of the grave will not be haunted by unjust ghosts.
Li Xiucai's case has long been spread all over the country, and I heard that the case was solved by the new prefect, including the concubine of the bitter lord Li Xiucai, there are many onlookers. That's fine, once the evidence of the crime is found, there is no need to find eyewitnesses.
Under the order of the Song prefect, Li Xiucai's coffin was opened, and inside Li Xiucai's skull, a two-inch-long rusty iron nail was impressive.
The evidence is ironclad, and there is no need to say anything.
The prefect of Song publicly announced how the grain chief and Li Xiucai's original partner Xianglian killed Li Xiucai, and so on, and the whole story of the case was made public, and called on everyone to actively report and expose the new crimes of the grain chief.
