Li Chengwei swallowed his saliva and said, "Official...... What do you say...... The villain really doesn't know! Although the villain is serving his mother on the side, he always has to go out to the toilet and drink water, and it is impossible to keep an eye on the ...... It's just a needle into the brain, it only takes a few breaths to do it, if there is a girl who takes advantage of the villain's departure to act secretly, how can the villain be guarded! Officials, and you can't wronged a good person with such empty mouths and white teeth! ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he exclaimed, "What good is it for me to kill my mother?!" I am my mother's only heir, whether she says dead or alive, all the family wealth, where is not mine? Why should I bother to do such a thing against morality, disregarding human morality, whether it is reasonable or reasonable, it doesn't make sense! ”

Li Chengwei wanted to say more, but suddenly another person appeared in the crowd, and the person shouted: "Deputy Envoy Gu, the little one has something to say!" ”

The man walked to the front, did not look at Li Chengwei, but said: "The villain is the shopkeeper of the Li family's original shop, and the eldest lady once looked for me a while before she got sick, and only said that she counted a few things from her husband's relics, so she asked me a lot of things......

The person who spoke was an old woman, who was very old and had a rickety back, but when she spoke, she spoke logically and clearly, one is one, and the other is two, and she explained the ins and outs of the matter very clearly.

It turned out that Li's father passed away suddenly, and many things had not had time to be explained, and many relics had not had time to be packed. Li lost her husband, and she was in a very bad mood in the previous year or two, one was very sad, and the other was that there were many things at home, so she had to seal all her belongings and did not clean them up.

When the year was about to be clear, Li dreamed that her husband asked her about the clothes she usually weared, so she thought about sorting out her deceased husband's old things, and planned to burn them all in front of his grave.

Who would have expected that it was good not to clean up, but when he cleaned up, he found a lot of things in his study, including a sachet containing a woman's hair, a woman's sweat towel, and a few letters pressed under the box, which were obviously from one person, and the person and Li's father had frequent exchanges.

One of them called each other "Jiaojiao", and the other called each other "husband", and the content of the letter, from trivial matters at home to each other's privacy, from the title to the tone of speech, it was just like an ordinary couple.

That's not all, in the woman's letters, it seems that she is still very concerned about a person called "Da Lang", one asks him about his school, the second asks him about his size, weight, and foot length, and the third asks him about his preferences, temper, and so on.

Looking at the description, the "big man" should be a man who is not as weak as the crown, and lives with Li's father on weekdays.

Li only had the other party's letter in his hand, and he couldn't see Li's father's reply, and for a while, he couldn't determine who the "big man" was, but he just counted the "royal blue clothes made by slaves", "navy blue round-toed soft-soled shoes made by slaves", and "plum blossoms knitted by slaves for him, tied with white jade hanging around his waist, as if he was shaking his spirit", as if he had seen it in his own son Li Chengwei.

No matter how soft her temperament is, when she encounters such a thing, she is also angry, but one is not very sure who the "big man" is, the second is that Li's father is dead, no matter how she can't confront him, and the third is that she has regarded Li Chengwei as her own child for more than ten years, so that she can not do it if she wants to come up with any ideas for a while, and she is not willing to shake this matter out with great fanfare, otherwise I am afraid that I will make my adopted son have a bad reputation, and there is no full name of the other party in the four letters, and it is intermittent, and there is no time to pay, I'm afraid that Father Li forgot to destroy the fish that slipped through the net, and it is really difficult to find out the other party based on these letters alone.

At this time, Li finally remembered that there were old people in her parents' cronies who had said something to herself, only telling her to "take care of the family property" on weekdays, not to let all the outsiders be the masters, and not to "take care of the affairs of the inner house", otherwise "be careful when the treasury is hollowed out, and the house deed and title deed are changed to the surname, and you don't know".

She only thought it was a joke that day, but now she woke up, called the man over, explained the matter in detail, and asked the other party for help.

However, this time, the shopkeeper has not yet found out what happened next, this place Li has died of inexplicable illness, and soon Li Chengwei took over the family industry, to do a look of keeping the Zhongxing, not long after, I don't know from which place to find so many new people, said that it is to open a new shop, and send people to the old shop to follow the "old shopkeeper" to learn, while using new people, while suppressing the old people.

Those old shopkeepers have been in the Li family's shop for decades, and to say something ugly, that is, the deceased parents of the Li family have seen it, and they have given a little more dignity, they have their own ability, how can they stand the cold treatment and bullying, and they still watched the face of the old master's family support it, but then they got little money, and they had to be angry, so they left. In this way, the cage is changed for birds, and the shop is still the original shop, but the people are slowly no longer the people they used to be.

This woman got Li's explanation, and she had carefully looked for it before, and then Li passed away, Li Chengwei took over the inheritance, and she was really in charge, and her husband had to find another place to work, and she also changed her errand, and the matter was naturally stranded, but the things that were found in the past are still there, but they have not been taken out to say, and now they have turned over the old accounts in the field, and finally stood up and said the past things one by one.

Li Chengwei's life experience, in fact, everyone in the Baokang Sect has doubted, since he is older, the more he looks like Li's father, the two of them are one big and one small row together, carved out of a mold, at this time, I heard the old woman tell the letters exchanged with the rest of the women in Li's father's room, and guessed that Li Chengwei was the son of Li's father born with the rest of the women, everyone didn't feel strange at all, but couldn't help but sigh at each other, only sighed that the Li family had done good deeds for many years, and carefully selected a husband for his daughter, I don't want to meet such a wolf-hearted person.

Gu Yanzhang heard the woman's words and asked, "You said that the Li family was suspicious of her husband, because he thought that you had reminded him in the past, so he deliberately came to the door and explained that you helped find Li Chengwei's life experience, how did you know that Li Chengwei was inappropriate?" ”

The woman said: "The official doesn't know, although the surname Chen looks very thoughtful on weekdays, but in the end he has no thoughts, in the past, the old master's house was still tightly hidden, and when the people left, it was inevitable that there would be some by nature, he deceived the eldest lady, but if you want to deceive us, one foot into the coffin, one year or two is fine, after a long time, where will not show the horse's feet." ”

"I often correspond with the eldest lady, and I heard her say that the surname Chen is often out of the house, and there is a banquet on a certain day and night, and there is a hangover drink at home, and a certain time I have to go somewhere to check the accounts and count the goods, and I can't come back that night, it just so happens that we people also have dealings with each other, and after asking once, I know that one or two of his ten times are lying."

"He had a close relationship with a person in Beijing, whose surname was Wei, who opened a restaurant in Yujie, and had a house at the end of Nanxunmen and Mahang Street, and one day I went to Nanxunmen to have something, and I happened to see the person surnamed Wei coming out of a house with him, but he was sent out by the surnamed Chen, and turned around, and the surname Chen actually went back to the house."

"I look at him like that, I just think it's very strange, in and out, it's like the owner of the house, because I have also done decades of work in the Li family, what kind of industry is this, nine times out of ten are accurate, but I don't remember that there is such a house, I really think it's strange, so I looked for someone to inquire, people near the left said that there was a small couple living in the house, two people came from out of town, there were three or two servants around them, they lived in a simple place on weekdays, and they didn't interact with the neighbors around them, I asked carefully about the appearance of the surname Chen, and sure enough, it was that' One of the little two. ”

"There are few men in the world who don't steal, I think of the Li family surnamed Chen, I will inevitably have some thoughts in my heart, and it is not a big deal to go out and put a two-bedroom outer room, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and only occasionally mentioned the matter of the little master's family, and then I was busy, so I forgot about it."

"When the lady of the Li family told me to check the inside story, I followed the time when Li Chengwei was brought back, and searched dozens of Salesian bureaus and charity halls in the capital, and none of them had ever sent a two-year-old baby boy out on that day......"

“…… It was also a coincidence that I happened to pass by that house again on the way to a Salesian Bureau, and I had doubts in my heart, so I asked the neighbor again and asked if the young couple still lived in it, but I learned that many years ago, since the woman was pregnant and had a son, the husband and wife moved and no longer lived in it. ”

"I asked carefully about the date of my son's birth, and I went back and calculated, it was Li Chengwei's birthday!"

The more the woman spoke, the more angry she became, and at this time she glared at Li Chengwei with hatred, and then turned her head to Gu Yanzhang and said: "Official, I didn't know that the lady of the Li family was actually killed, I just thought that although it was the seed born from the surname Chen and the outsider, but the child is not innocent, and it is not whose own family can choose to be reincarnated in, because the lady of the Li family has gone, and I see that Li Chengwei looks very filial, busy from beginning to end, looking like a prodigal son, thinking that it is not good to meddle in the affairs of others, It's not good to poke it out at this time, if you poke it out, whoever throws the pot and holds the spirit for the Li family's lady, and who will help her sacrifice, I'm afraid that this vein will be cut off, and it will come to the underground, no one can serve wine and food at this door, out of such thoughts, I have never said the matter, and I have been hiding it in my heart! ”

Gu Yanzhang asked, "Do you have any evidence for your words today?" ”

The woman said, "All the neighbors to the left of the house can testify!" ”

When she said this, she hurriedly added: "Official, that house is under the name of the surnamed Wei, you should go to find the person surnamed Wei, and ask the matter clearly, although I don't know where the woman is at the moment, but I will investigate carefully with the people around me, and I may not really be able to find it, if I can turn the person out and recognize the relatives with blood, naturally the truth of Li Chengwei's life experience will be revealed!" ”

As soon as the old woman's words fell, Aunt Ren on the side had already shouted: "I'm afraid that Li Chengwei doesn't know where to know his own life experience, and I'm afraid that the lady of the Li family will drive him out, so he is so ruthless, you are such a wolf ambition, you are not afraid of going to eighteen layers of hell after death, and you have to take out your heart and liver to feed the dog!?" ”

The two old men of the Li family have a very good reputation in the Baokang Gate, and have done many good deeds, and many people on the street have received the favor of his family, at this time, I saw that the Li family died so miserably, and Li Chengwei was so wolf-hearted, and they were really full of righteous indignation.

Li Chengwei half raised his head, extremely strange, but there was not much panic on his face, he first glanced at Gu Yanzhang, then at Tian Feng, and then said loudly: "Two officials, the villain did not kill his mother, and he is definitely not the one who killed his wife, and the villain does not admit guilt!" Please also find out the truth and return the villain's innocence! ”

He didn't say these few words, as soon as he said them, it was as if adding fuel to the fire, which caused everyone who was already very angry to be even more sensational, and more than a dozen officials stopped behind, almost unable to hold back.

Seeing this, Tian Feng frowned, and was about to speak, but he heard Gu Yanzhang on the side and said: "Governor Tian, there is something else in this case, the body has been inquest at this time, it is impossible for Li Chengwei to confess on the spot, why don't you be taken into custody and imprisoned first, and the Kyoto Mansion will visit first, and then make a conviction when the evidence is found?" ”

After Gu Yanzhang finished speaking, he lowered his voice again, and said: "This case was originally under the jurisdiction of the Kyoto Prefecture, and it was not appropriate to mention the intervention of the Criminal Division, but when he visited the case of Zhongchang Liquidation in Yongqiu County a while ago, Chen Ducai, the magistrate of Yongqiu County, confessed this Li Chengwei, and he didn't want to check it, but he found that this person was still carrying two major cases of human life. ”

When he said this, he raised his eyes to look at Tian Feng again, and whispered: "Your Majesty is still waiting for Li Chengwei's confession in the palace......"

Tian Fengren has been in Kyoto for a while, and he has heard that Yongqiu County has often closed the position, and he has heard Chen Ducai, how can he not know that this big case has caused the undercurrent of the DPRK and China to surge for a long time, and it faintly involves another person in the palace.

He could hear Gu Yanzhang's words, and his heart jumped a few times almost immediately.

He didn't want to get his hands dirty! The Kyoto prefectural government also doesn't want to get their hands dirty!

If it was just a case of Li Chengwei killing his mother and wife, he would have to fight with the Criminal Division for a right to take charge, but it involves the royal family, as long as he is not a fool, he will naturally know how far away he should go and how far he should hide!

He only took a breath in his heart, and immediately replied: "It is more important for Yongqiu County to close the serious case, this person is involved in such a big case, it is better to be directly escorted to the Criminal Division for trial!" ”

Speaking of this, he replied: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to listen to a Taoist in the afternoon, and you should ask Li Chengwei about his confession, so you should enter the palace early, so as not to delay the hour!" ”
