Chapter 216: No pretending, showdown, in fact, I'm the murderer......
"Father-in-law, detain this person, and don't need to interrogate others first."
Gu Ming stepped forward and whispered.
As soon as he heard this, Nie Hongshu nodded subconsciously, and was shocked: "Escort this person down first, and then interrogate tomorrow,"
"Yes, sir!"
The two officials responded and walked towards Yuanqing.
"Adult, villain wronged ......"
"If you are wronged, wait until the trial is over, and then take it down!"
At this time, Wuqing's eyes inadvertently revealed a fierce light, as if he wanted to resist......
But in the end, he obediently followed the servant.
"Virtuous son-in-law, do you think this person is the real murderer?"
"It should be him...... Father-in-law, this person must be strictly guarded to prevent him from escaping.
Also, you should immediately send someone to check his details to see where he stayed and who he interacted with before he arrived at Ji's mansion......"
"Well, I'll send someone to do it right away!"
Nie Hongshu nodded solemnly.
The reason why Gu Ming believed that Yuan Qingnai was the mastermind behind the scenes was because he sensed a long-lost familiar aura on the other party: the breath of Yin Wind Valley.
I think that at the beginning, the disciples of Yin Feng Valley were entrusted by others to create haunting incidents everywhere, harming many people, and wanted to use this to create unfavorable remarks among the people and suppress Nie Hongshu, who had just taken office.
After that, Gu Ming came to the aid and captured the opponent alive.
Unexpectedly, a master came to the door to retaliate, and at that time, Gu Ming's strength was not enough, so he could only find someone to help.
In the end, with the assistance of Yan Chixia, Gu Ming led his opponent outside the city to be killed......
Unexpectedly, this time I actually met a disciple from Yin Wind Valley again.
Then it is easy to explain why Du Cheng and Ji Yao did something contrary to common sense, they must have been used by Yuan Qing to do some evil tricks, and then did something involuntarily.
……
At noon on the second day, Gu Ming once again came to the cell where Ji Yao was being held in the southern prison with his father-in-law.
It can be seen that this woman's spirit has collapsed, and as soon as she saw Nie Hongshu coming in, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to cry out.
"My lord, the people are really wronged. This case was originally written by the people's daughter, if the people's daughter was really the one who poisoned her, how could she report it to the official herself......"
Nie Hongshu sneered: "Since ancient times, there have been fewer cases of thieves shouting to catch thieves? You chose to report the case as soon as possible, just to take the initiative and clear your suspicion.
Because you know very well that even if you don't report it, someone else will do it. ”
"My lord, the people's daughter...... How could a folk girl kill her own father......"
"Then on what basis do you think that your sister poisoned her biological father?"
"This ...... My sister must have been bewitched by Du Xiucai...... Presumably the adults have also investigated, back then, the person who was married to Du Xiucai was originally a folk girl, and he must have a grudge against the folk girl......"
At the mention of this matter, Nie Hongshu couldn't help asking: "Then why did you refuse to marry back then?" ”
Ji Yao's eyes flickered and replied, "Because...... Because...... The folk girl doesn't like Du Xiucai at all, and she wants to find a Lang Jun she likes......"
There's nothing wrong with that.
Although there has been a rule since ancient times that "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", the rules are not immutable.
There are also some good stories, jokes, poems and so on about the pursuit of love between men and women.
However, Ji Min's approach is obviously not the pursuit of love.
"Qubble, you hate the poor and love the rich! This official has already sent someone to visit secretly, and the people of Fengqi Town don't know what kind of person you are? ”
"My lord, the folk girl did something wrong back then, but the folk girl later realized her mistake and went out of her way to admit her mistake to her sister and brother-in-law......"
Nie Hong asked a few questions in a row, and Ji Min answered fluently, and it seemed that he had been prepared.
At this time, Gu Ming snorted and suddenly asked, "During the period of heavy filial piety, why do you still apply fat powder to show off the market?" ”
"Huh?"
Obviously, this question surprised Ji Min, and his face changed in shock.
"My lord, the people's daughter...... The folk girl didn't have a grease powder ......"
She really didn't smear rouge today, after all, she had to pass the hall, and she dared to apply grease powder at this time, which was really stupid.
"It's said that in the past, there were many people in the town who could testify, and it was useless for you to deny it."
At this moment, the woman's forehead couldn't help but soak in dense fine sweat, and she squeaked for a while before replying: "This ...... This is because the folk girl has not rested well in the past few days and looks haggard, so she ...... Just wiped a little bit......"
"Hehe, my deceased father is not buried, and you still care so much about your personal dress image during the heavy filial piety period, will it be dressed up for someone to see?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Min's face was even more shocked, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Gu Ming, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the folk girl ......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Gu Ming seemed to ask casually: "By the way, when did Yuanqing arrive at Ji Mansion?" ”
As expected, the woman's eyes immediately flashed a trace of panic at the mention of the word Yuanqing.
He ...... It seems like a year later, right? ”
Ji Min had an uncertain expression.
"Like?" Gu Ming smiled sarcastically: "Yuan Qing is the person you found, don't pretend to be unfamiliar." ”
"The people's daughter is wronged, Yuanqing is the nursing home that my father found, the people's daughter is currently only living in her mother's house, how can she be qualified to take care of her mother's affairs?"
The woman began to shake the pot.
However, she could not have guessed that the hellish question-and-answer method had just begun.
"By the way, a question suddenly came to mind, how did your husband die?"
"Huh?"
Ji Min's face was cloudy.
Because she was answering and thinking about how to answer the question about Yuanqing, she didn't expect Gu Ming's question to be too jumpy, and suddenly fell on her dead husband again.
This is exactly what Gu Ming wants to achieve.
Often, a person has a relatively inherent mind.
Just like in chess, if the opponent makes a move, then you have to take corresponding measures depending on the game, at least to judge how to respond to the next few moves.
But now, Gu Ming didn't play according to the routine at all, and after asking a sharp question, he immediately threw out another question.
It's like playing chess just after a few moves, and suddenly you are asked to switch to checkers, and you just start jumping, and you end up with backgammon......
The goal is to interrupt the target's train of thought so that he doesn't have time to think too much about it.
This kind of routine is simply not too much in the film and television dramas of the previous life, just use it directly.
Over and over again, it doesn't take long to shatter the thoughts of the subject being tried and make him confused, and his words don't match the afterword......
When it comes to such a situation, it is easy to justify itself, and it may be impossible to say it at some point.
Except, of course, the kind of people who have undergone special training.
"Ah what? Answer my questions. ”
"I'm going to talk to him...... He was drunk and fell into the river and drowned, isn't this a long time ......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Gu Ming asked again: "In which river did you drown?" ”
"Qingshi River."
"Well, do you know each other with Yuan Qing?"
The topic came back to Yuan Qing, and Ji Min couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Gu Ming, and then bowed his head hurriedly......
She was observing Gu Ming's expression.
Because she was really panicked...... How can something that has been foolproof since itself be involved in so many previous things?
Why is the dead ghost mentioned for no reason?
And asked if the dead ghost and Yuan Qing knew each other?
She had the answer in her mind, but she didn't know how to answer it. Because, she couldn't guess how much Gu Ming had mastered.
"Hehe, no need to answer, you've already acquiesced."
"The ...... of the People's Girls"
"There's no need to quibble, because this question itself is very strange, if you don't know Yuanqing, or you don't know him before Yuanqing arrives in Jifu.
Well, this question doesn't hold true for you at all, but you don't answer it right away, but you think about how to respond in your heart.
This means that the answer is yes.
You have known Yuanqing for a long time, and so have your dead husband, and...... Their relationship is a bit special......"
When he said this, Gu Ming's eyes became a little meaningful.
"My lord, they ...... Confirmation between them...... Folk Girl ...... The folk girl didn't answer before, yes...... It's because ...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid that adults will misunderstand......"
Well, the woman is starting to mess with herself.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Mingdang asked: "Afraid that I will misunderstand something?" ”
As a result, he said to Ji Min inexplicably: "I wonder if you are interested in listening to a story?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Ji Min, even Nie Hongshu glanced at Gu Ming with some confusion, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Because the rhythm jumps so fast, people can't keep up at all.
Of course, Gu Ming's question is not so much an inquiry, but in fact an affirmative sentence at all.
I can't help but if Ji Min wants to hear it or not, so she has already started to talk to herself: "Anyway, there is such a woman, her family background is not bad, her marriage is not bad, and she has been beautiful for a while.
Later, her husband's family suddenly fell into disarray, and this woman had to move to a dilapidated house in the countryside with her husband, and her life was quite poor......"
Hearing this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but suddenly glance at Ji Min subconsciously.
Isn't that what we're talking about?
Of course, Ji Min also knew that it was her, but he didn't dare to say anything, lowering his head and his eyes kept changing.
It can be said that at this moment, her spirit is almost about to collapse, her mind is in chaos, and a trace of fear and chill wells up in her heart......
Because she vaguely guessed her secret...... Fear...... It's no secret anymore.
"Women have been pampered since childhood, accustomed to fine clothes and food, and the days when there are groups of slaves, how can they endure today's hunger and cold?
So, from time to time, he ran back to his mother's house to get some silver......
I never thought that her husband would not change his life, and he was still addicted to gambling...... In the end, I lost everything, and I turned out to be ...... The madman used his wife as a bargaining chip......"
"Your Excellency!"
At this time, Ji Min suddenly blurted out.
"What's wrong? Don't want to hear it? ”
"Folk Girl...... I have some headaches, so please be kind......"
"Well, you don't have to kneel, go lie down and rest. But the story isn't over yet......"
"My lord, please don't talk about it, don't talk about it......"
Who knows, Gu Ming waved his hand with a straight face: "No, no, no, you must tell it, because this story is a bit bizarre, and it also involves ...... A strange case! ”
As soon as he heard this, Ji Min was paralyzed, and simply pretended to faint and fell to the ground.
Gu Ming knew that she was pretending, and he didn't care about her, Gu Zi said slowly: "I won't talk about the specific details and process, in short, after this woman was cheated by her husband, she simply broke the jar and broke it, and had an inexplicable relationship with several gamblers."
One of them is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he is also a bit capable.
So, the woman used all her tricks to make the man fall in love with her......
After that, the two conspired, but they simply didn't do anything, and they found an opportunity to get drunk and created the illusion that he had fallen into the water due to drunkenness......"
"No, it's not like that......"
Hearing this, Ji Min couldn't pretend anymore, turned over in horror, and shouted loudly in a gaffe.
Speaking of which, half of the story Gu Ming told was secretly investigated, and half of it was inferred by him based on clues.
Last night, he made a special trip to the town where the Lei family was located, pretended to be a gambler and ran two fields, and used a little trick to find a few senior gamblers and found out some secret things about the relationship between the young master of the Lei family and Ji Min.
Although some people doubted the fact that the young master of the Lei family was drunk and fell into the water, it was difficult to find the flaws because of the other party's ingenious methods, and it was finally settled.
Therefore, Gu Ming played a set of combination punches, destroying Ji Min's psychological defense step by step, and finally threw out this so-called story, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.
Of course, it doesn't matter if this woman doesn't admit it, he still has a trick.
"Not so? And then again? I'll help you do the math, murdering your husband and poisoning your biological father, even if Ling Chi executes you......
Do you know what Ling Chi doesn't mean? It is to tie you to a pillar, a knife, a knife......"
"No, no, it's none of my business......"
Ji Min looked frightened and shook his head desperately.
She had naturally heard of Ling Chi's punishment, and there were many people who circulated it.
This punishment is also known as "a thousand cuts", as the name suggests, just listening to it can make people shudder.
Although most of this punishment is a legend, very few people have seen it with their own eyes. But, less, does not mean no.
Some heinous people may be sentenced to this kind of torture, which is known as the "ultimate punishment", to have a deterrent effect.
For example, Liu Jin, the great eunuch in Gu Ming's previous life, is said to have been slashed more than 3,000 times, and he rested for a while...... It lasted for three days before Liu Jin died.
It can be seen that the experience of the person who wielded the knife is quite rich, and he will not let the tortured person die so easily, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty.
There is also a scolding sentence in the market: You kill a thousand knives!
This is a rather vicious swearing.
"It's none of your business? Whose business is that? ”
Nie Hongshu said coldly.
"This ...... It's all ......"
"Wait, someone, come in and record."
"Yes, sir!"
The official in charge of recording walked in.
"Alright, let's talk about it."
"My lord, the people's daughter is really wronged, and I ask the two adults to be the masters of the people's daughter."
"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point."
At this time, Ji Min couldn't take care of it anymore, and in order to exonerate himself, he began to desperately shake the pot again.
"Since the two adults have investigated, they must also know the suffering of the people's daughters.
The animal didn't treat the folk girl as a lady at all, but as a bargaining chip for gambling...... If the folk girl doesn't comply, he will beat and scold him, and even tie the folk girl up......"
She wasn't lying.
Those days were the most desperate, humiliating, and dark days of her life.
It's just that this kind of thing is not easy to publicize to the outside world, and I don't dare to say it when I go back to my parents' house.
After a period of gloomy days, the woman finally accepted her fate.
In other words, she is unwilling and wants to change such a fate. So, he began to cheer up and force himself to be happy in front of men for his own welfare......
