Chapter 165: Chen Xiuli reversed the situation
"Ask! Just ask! I'll see what tricks you can play! However, the ugly words are ahead, if you delay the official to judge the case, you are a parent official, and you are indispensable to play the board! That Lord Qin glanced at Chen Xiuli coldly and said.
"The lower officials don't dare." Chen Xiuli replied calmly, his eyes were cold on Ding Shuqing, and he asked slowly, "First, where did the note in your hand come from?" Since Hua Sangsang is illiterate, this note is naturally written by someone with a heart! In this county, there happens to be a world-famous ink master, why don't you show him this note, where does it come from? β
"Second, the testimony of the kidnapper just now is incomplete, and Hua Manxi also refuted, if she and Wang Shishi went to murder Hua Sangsang, then how could all three of them fall into the water? Isn't that shooting yourself in the foot? If the testimony is wrong, it is naturally impossible to count, then this case has nothing to do with Hua Manxi, why do adults still detain her? β
Although Chen Xiuli's voice was not loud, it was loud and calm, and it was calm and clear, so that Lord Qin couldn't refute it for a while.
"If this Hua Sangsang is illiterate, this note must be a misunderstanding, and you can still see the murderer from the note!" Qin Da was so angry that he glared at Chen Xiuli fiercely.
"Unfortunately, although the lower officials can't, but I can be a capable person in the county government, this person's name is Qi Yan, a member of the Qi family in the Nanyang ink-making family, because of the unhappiness with the family, I went to my small temple to sort out the documents, this person has magical powers, no matter what words are written, what ink is used, and how long this ink has been, it can be recognized." Chen Xiuli said lightly.
He said it so mysteriously, although Lord Qin had the intention to stop it, he couldn't bear the crowd of onlookers outside.
"There is such a mysterious person, please come up, let us see it too!"
"Yes, I don't believe it, there is such a mysterious person!"
"Yes, my lord, please come up quickly!"
The shouts outside rose and fell, making Lord Qin impetuous.
"Please Qi Yan!" In the end, Lord Qin couldn't withstand the pressure from the outside and invited that Qi Yan up, but his eyes fell on Ding Shuqing's body meaningfully.
Ding Shuqing categorically didn't believe that there was such a mysterious person in this world, it was just that Chen Xiuli wanted to delay time, he gave Lord Chen a calm look, and invited Qi Yan to come up by the yacha. Although the clothes on this Qi Yan are not very expensive, they are clean, there is a bookish air when he looks at it, and his demeanor is a little shy, when he came out, because he didn't look at the road, he touched Ding Shuqing, and then he was led down to the court, and nervously met Lord Qin and Chen Xiuli.
This Qi Yan, Hua Manxi has seen it, and he is indeed sorting out documents in the county office, but he has never heard Chen Xiuli say that he still has such a mysterious ability.
"You are Qi Yan, the Qi family of the ink-making family is your family?" Lord Qin looked Qi Yan up and down, and had some doubts in his heart, this ink-making family, the Qi family, was rich enough to rival the country, how could he dress so shabby, and this appearance didn't look like he had seen the world.
"Lord Hui, it is the Qi family, Qi Yanyun, the seventeenth generation head of the Qi family, is my aunt." Qi Yan replied with a straight look, "Because Xiaosheng lost his father since he was a child, and his mother married another, he has been adopted by his aunt, but my aunt treats me not very well, and I am learning to make ink with workers all year round, and sometimes it starts at three o'clock in the morningββ"
"Okay, okay, this official doesn't have time to listen to your family affairs, here's a note, you take it to see, what ink is written, but there is a way to find the person who wrote the note." Lord Qin asked the yacha to pass the note down.
Qi Yan took the note, looked at it, touched it, smelled it again, and finally affirmed it in a tone: "Lord Hui, this is written in rouge ink, the so-called rouge ink, in fact, it is specially used to sell to a boudoir lady to write a love letter to the person you like, this rouge ink, there is a faint rouge fragrance, and after this ink is soaked in water, there will be a faint rouge color floating in the water, look at this trace, it should be less than half an hour to write, even if the rouge ink washes your hands, the rouge is not clean for a while, unless you use a special potion, If the person who wrote this note came to wash his hands, there would have been a slight rouge floating in the basin. β
"Even so, what's the use?" Lord Qin frowned and looked at Chen Xiuli.
"How can it be useless? Since this note was written for less than half an hour, it must not have been about asking Hua Sangsang to go to the stream in the morning, but as if it was going to be planted! It's almost an hour since we got here from Peach Blossom Village, and it proves that this person wrote on the road, just to wash himself! If you want to know the real cause of Hua Sangsang's death, you must find out the person who wrote the note! Chen Xiuli said loudly, "May I ask Lord Qin, who gave you this note, and whose hand did it pass through!" β
"This was found on the head of Hua Sangsang's bed!" Wang Dazhuang and Widow Wang said with firm expressions.
"Who did you hand over the note to when you found it?" Chen Xiuli asked.
"Handed it over to Ding Xiucai!" Widow Wang hurriedly pointed at Ding Shuqing.
"No matter who it is given, as long as it is someone who has touched the note, they are all suspicious! Prepare a basin of water to wash your hands! Chen Xiuli said with a cold expression.
Lord Qin hadn't heard of any rouge ink at all, he felt that this Chen Xiuli was playing tricks, and he didn't know what trick he was playing, but so many people were around, stretching his neck to watch, and he couldn't hinder it, so he could only tell the yacha to do it.
Wang Erniang, Zhang Guizi, Chen Xiuli, Wang Shishi, Hua Manxi, Wang Dazhuang, Wang Widow, as well as Ding Shuqing and Lord Chen, all prepared water to wash their hands.
What is surprising is that the basin of water washed by Ding Shuqing really showed a faint rouge color.
"That's what he wrote!" Qi Yan pointed at Ding Shuqing and said firmly, "It must be the ink he grinds, that's why he has rouge ink on his hands!" β
How could Ding Shuqing have thought that his hands were clean, and he actually washed out a faint layer of rouge, and was stunned in disbelief.
Qi Yan said that this note was written for less than half an hour, but Widow Wang and Wang Dazhuang said that the note was found at the bedside of Hua Sangsang, but it had been half an hour since I came here from Peach Blossom Village! So this note was written by Ding Shuqing on the road! What about the note at the head of the bed! Hua Sangsang is illiterate, what exactly is written on the note on her bedside? Ding Shuqing, what do you want to do with the note! Want to frame Miss Wang? Maybe you killed Hua Sangsang! Chen Xiuli looked at Ding Shuqing coldly and asked aggressively.
Ding Shuqing looked at his basin of water, was stunned for a while, and was robbed of it by Chen Xiuli again, and said anxiously: "You are talking nonsense!" What half an hour! This note is clearly written by someone I asked two days ago! What rouge ink, bullshit! β
"Oh - it turned out that you asked someone to write it! What are you writing this note for? Hua Sangsang is clearly illiterate, why did this note appear on her bedside! Hua Sangsang didn't kill you! Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Xiuli's voice became even more abrupt, pointing at Ding Shuqing and asking repeatedly.
Ding Shuqing came back to his senses at this time, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground in a dejected manner.
"He writes whatever he writes! He had an affair with my daughter-in-law! What's so strange about her! You ask what the east and west are doing! She fell to death my daughter-in-law, so many eyes watching, you still want to quibble! Seeing that Ding Shuqing was so frightened that she sat on the ground, it was like seeing the silver of the white flowers flying, so she was so anxious that she jumped out and said.
"Yes, I did have a relationship with Hua Sangsang, I wanted to ask her to catch up, but I didn't expect her to be illiterate." Ding Shuqing seemed to have caught the last bit of hope and said.
"Really? It's so coincidental that she made an appointment by the stream where Hua Manxi and Wang Shishi went fishing, and also made a help sound, attracting Hua Manxi to save her? You keep saying that Hua Sangsang was killed by Wang Shishi, right? The official doesn't see it, there is a mistake in the county office, and it can be found out by only a post-mortem examination. Chen Xiuli said coldly.
"Autopsy! What kind of autopsy do you! My daughter-in-law is dead, and you still want to let her corpse be abused! The widow looked at Chen Xiuli in disbelief, and suddenly sat on the ground again and began to cry, shouting, "Look, these people who have been condemned by heaven have died, and not only do they not admit their guilt, but they even want to be the corpse of my daughter-in-law!" What a wickedness! What a wickedness! β
"Can't touch my daughter-in-law! She is dead and will enter the ancestral grave of my royal family! You can't let you spoil her! Wang Dazhuang hurriedly said!
"Lord Chen, the official knows that Miss Wang is your cousin, but this matter is really difficult to do, everyone is dead, what kind of corpse is it to examine? If you feel sorry for your cousin, if you are private, you can compensate the Wang family for a sum of money. Lord Qin persuaded.
"If you lose money, you must pay it! You killed my daughter-in-law, then you will be my daughter-in-law, so we will not be held accountable! The widow Wang glanced at Wang Shishi, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, this convex and backward upturned, her face was round, she was a good child, not like that flower Sangsang, thin like a ghost, she couldn't give birth to a child!
Moreover, I heard that this Wang Shishi's family is still rich in thieves, as long as she climbs up, this generation will not worry about food or housing, and you can also come to the city to enjoy happiness! Like that flower family!
It's a pity that I couldn't pull that cheap hoof of Hua Manxi into the water this time, it's a pity-
Wang Shishi saw that Wang Dazhuang was like this, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, this is not a toad who wants to eat swan meat, or a toad who is more self-aware than this family!
"It's not selfish! Absolutely unselfish! I, Wang Shishi, are standing upright, and I definitely didn't kill her! Wang Shishi's face turned red with anger, and she said to Lord Qin, "If Lord Qin judges the case unfairly and makes me suffer injustice, my Wang family is not a vegetarian, so I can naturally sue Yushitai!" β
