Chapter 229: The Truth Is Revealed
Li Sihu asked the old Li Tou, who sold wine: "Where is Wang Shanglang?" Trouble the old man to take us to find him. ā
Lao Li pointed to Wang Shanglang, who was shrunk into a ball in the corner: "It's him." ā
Li Sihu immediately walked over and lifted Wang Shanglang out.
Wang Shanglang drooped his eyelids and said, "I like Xiaolan very much, and I spent a lot of money on Xiaolan." The fifteenth day happened to be my birthday, I wanted to spend it with Xiaolan, so I went to the back of the tofu workshop, in the workshop I saw pork Zhang and Xiaolan together, I was very angry, but I had self-knowledge, I knew that I couldn't beat pork Zhang, so I left silently. ā
Xiao Qi: "When did you leave, and can anyone testify for you?" ā
Wang Shanglang: "There are witnesses, I saw Chen Xiucai outside the workshop. ā
Zhang Guozi went to pass on Chen Xiucai, Chen Xiucai was sick and lying in bed, and Chen Xiucai's mother Lu followed Zhang Guozi to the door of the tofu shop.
Lu: "On the fifteenth, my son has been with me, and he has never been to Tofu Shih. ā
Wang Shanglang: "You lie, I won't be mistaken, that day I accidentally bumped into Chen Xiucai in the small courtyard of the workshop, his clothes were splashed with water stains, Chen Xiucai usually loves to be clean, rarely see him like this, so I am very impressed." ā
"It seems that Chen Xiu is still going to come." Mu Ziqi said and opened the ink folding fan in his hand, fanned it a few times, and felt still very stuffy.
Lu Shi looked resolute: "You don't have to pass on my son, I killed the person, Tofu Xi Shi she seduced my son, and caused my son to suffer from lovesickness - I have a good son, who is so good at reading, and has the talent of the champion, but was delayed by her, I hate her, so I killed her and Pork Zhang." ā
Mu Zichen shook his head lightly: "You're not right, you don't have that much strength?" ā
Lushi: "IāI drugged their water. ā
Mu Ziqi: "Tofu Shih Tzu and pork Zhang were indeed poisoned, and they were arsenic. ā
Lu: "That's right, I'm on arsenic." ā
Mu Ziqi: "Lu's, the two of them did not have the poison of arsenic, I deliberately induced you just now, there are many loopholes in your words, it seems that we still have to go to your house to ask your son." ā
Lu Shi listened to Mu Zili's words, and his face turned pale.
Ah Mo looked at his young master with a look of admiration: "Young master, you are so powerful." ā
A large group of people went to Chen's house.
Mu Zixi: "It's so hot! As he spoke, he shook the fan vigorously in his hand to help the little seven fans walking in front of him.
Ah Mo was following behind Mu Zixi, wiping his sweat while helping Mu Zishan fan with the banana fan in his hand.
Chen Xiucai was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and when he heard the catchers say that Lu Shi admitted to killing, he said: "The person was not killed by my mother, but by me, the pork is very tense, I am afraid that I will not be able to kill him, so I bought sweat medicine from the people who ran the rivers and lakes and put it into the water they drank, and later I saw that Pork Zhang was drowsy and powerless to resist after drinking water, so I killed them." ā
Xiao Qi: "What kind of murder weapon is used?" ā
"Yes, I made a few random cuts with a tofu cutting knife."
Li Sihu inhaled, not to mention a few strokes, there were at least twenty blood holes on Pork Zhang's body.
So Li Sihu asked, "How many knives did you stab on Pork Zhang?" ā
Chen Xiucai: "I can't remember how many knives I stabbed at that time, I hate Pork Zhang, it was he who took Xiaolan from me, Xiaolan likes me, it has always been me, it was Pork Zhang who forced Xiaolan, and Xiaolan was with him." ā
Chen Xiucai has liked Xiaolan since he ate tofu brain at the stall a few years ago, Xiaolan asked for a lot of money from him under various excuses, his family is not a rich family, so he sold a lot of books in his family, and even gave Xiaolan the money that Lu prepared for him to go to Beijing to take the exam.
Xiaolan didn't want to use Chen Xiucai's money to go to Beijing to take the exam at that time, she heard that Chen Xiucai was very knowledgeable, and she always wanted Chen Xiucai to marry her after she was promoted. Who knew that at that time, Xiaolan's eldest brother happened to fall for the Immortal Jump scam and owed a lot of foreign debts, and the family really couldn't hold on, so he asked Chen Xiucai to go to Beijing to catch the exam.
Xiao Qi: "No, there is a bloody axe in the house." ā
"It was stolen from the City God Temple to confuse everyone's attention, in fact, the real murder weapon is a knife-" Chen Xiucai's expression was painful: "Xiaolan said that when I am promoted in the examination, the Jinshi will marry me in the examination." ā
Xiao Qi asked Li Sihu and a few people to escort Chen Xiucai to the Yamen.
But the next day, there were twists and turns in the case, and a middle-aged beggar came to the yamen to make a big fuss, and kept shouting, "I killed the person - I killed the person-"
Xiao Qi brought the middle-aged beggar into the hall for interrogation, but found that the murder was really committed by the middle-aged beggar.
Middle-aged beggars often beg near Ping'an Street, and Chen Xiucai is kind-hearted, although his family is not very wealthy, he still often gives middle-aged beggars some food.
The beggar was very grateful, and always wanted to repay the favor, knowing that Chen Xiucai liked Tofu Shih Tzu, but Tofu Shih Tzu fooled around with other men, so he had a murderous intention, and when Chen Xiucai couldn't bear to do it, after leaving, he went into the workshop and killed the two.
Xiao Qi asked the officials to mention Chen Xiucai to come out, "Chen Xiucai, why do you want to confess your guilt indiscriminately?" ā
Chen Xiucai: "The poison was indeed given by me, I originally went with a dagger, but I didn't dare before I started, so in the end I went home without doing anything." At that time, my mother said that she was the one who killed her, and I thought that my mother really killed someone after I left, so I wanted to take the blame for her. ā
The truth was revealed, Xiao Qi waved his hand, "Let's take people down first, and wait for the prefect to open the court for interrogation." ā
The people who were waiting to be arrested escorted out of the house.
"I didn't expect that beggar to be so righteous." Mu Ziqi opened the folding fan with a snap, and a beautiful landscape map immediately appeared on the fan.
Xiao Qi looked at Mu Zishan, "It's always wrong to kill someone. ā
Ah Mo saw Liu Zhutou looking at his young master's face in a daze, so he said: "Our young master is really good-looking, Liu Zhutou can look at it every time." ā
Xiao Qi came back to her senses and immediately began to reflect on herself, blaming Mu Zixi's face for being so good-looking, so that she could see God every time.
After reflection, Xiao Qi put three points of disgust on his face, "I think you look better than Tofu Shih, young people read more books, and they will not eat with their faces like Tofu Shih Tzu in the future, and the end will be miserable." ā
Mu Ziqi: "I've worked hard. ā
In fact, after Mu Ziqi came out of the secret passage under the well, he had already begun to study hard.
Ah Mo puffed his chest and said: "My young master is the grandson of the eldest princess, where do you need to eat with your face." ā
Xiao Qi: "As the saying goes, relying on the mountains and relying on everyone to run, only relying on yourself is the safest." ā
From this day on, Mu Zichen read more seriously, and often picked up the lights until late at night.
The prefect's wife also has a lot less prejudice against her youngest son, and often praises the prefect Mu: "Our family has finally grown up." ā
