Chapter 31: The Truth Revealed

The old king kneeling in the courtyard had a gloomy face, and the law of the continent country clearly stipulates that killing people pays for their lives, and everyone in the continent country knows it.

He also knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to escape death this time no matter what.

Now that he has confessed his guilt, the old king poured beans into a bamboo tube, and explained it happily.

"The sinner's surname is Wang, his full name is Wang Gao, his ancestors were originally from Chatian Village, Anning County, and later his father and father did some small business and made some money, so they moved to the county seat, bought a yard and settled down."

"After the death of my father and father, I begged my daughter-in-law, but I didn't want the stinky woman to be very vicious, scolding and scolding all day long, crying and making trouble if it didn't go well, and I couldn't be at peace. Finally, I got a bad disease and died, and I was fed up with the days of having a daughter-in-law, so I have been living alone and not remarrying. ”

"Originally, although this life was cleaner and peaceful, who knew that since last year, the Tiegen daughter-in-law next door has been stealing men next door, which made me make a big mistake."

When Bai Luo heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Then what does Shen's cheating have to do with you?" How could you make a big mistake? ”

"That Tiegen's daughter-in-law stole the man, and it had nothing to do with me," the old king said depressedly, "But it happened that one day I found that the bricks on the wall were loose, thinking that the Tiegen mother next door was blind and couldn't see for fear that she would be smashed, our neighbors for many years, naturally they could take care of some, so I set up a ladder and climbed the wall to repair." ”

"But I didn't expect to climb up the wall and see Tiegen's daughter-in-law doing that with a scholar open the window, I have been widowed for many years, where can I withstand this, I rubbed the fire in my heart, the more I looked, the more I wanted to see, so I lay on the wall to read it."

Later, I also learned that Tiegen's mother had to sleep twice during the day every day, and this Tiegen would go out of the county town every three days to sell goods in the village, and he would not come back until it was dark at night, and Tiegen's daughter-in-law would have a private meeting with this man every day. Strange to say, this Tiegen daughter-in-law and her wild man don't know what's wrong, and every time they meet, they love to do that with the window open, so that I always want to climb the wall to see. ”

"Later, I also counted the days, and when I heard the movement, I would lie on the wall and watch them do this to relieve their boredom." Speaking of this, the old Wang Tou was also a little ashamed, and his old face was slightly red.

Bai Luo was speechless, this old Wang Tou regards Tiegen's house as a movie theater, or is it the kind that specializes in visiting Sanji films, this old king next door watches movies for free every three days......

"Look at you...... What's that," Bai Luo reluctantly swallowed back the three words "Sanji Piece", and then asked, "Why did you kill Li Tiegen?" ”

"Hey, I've always lived next to Tiegen's house, and I watched Tiegen grow up, and the two families have always gotten along well, so it's not a coincidence that you would want to kill him." When the old king said this, he sighed himself.

"Since then, I have been lying on the wall every three days, and there has been no accident for a whole year.

"That day, I climbed the wall again as usual to see the iron root daughter-in-law and the scholar doing that, and I was watching it with all my heart, but somehow, this iron root suddenly turned home."

"Tiegen didn't see me, according to me, as long as I dodge, I have the Tiegen's daughter-in-law and the wild man to fight with Tiegen, how can I not get my head, but I can't die, I panicked from the wall to climb down the ladder, my hand somehow hit a brick, I heard Tiegen's ouch, I knew it was not good, and hurriedly re-looked, lying on the wall to see, saw that Tiegen had fallen to the ground with blood on his head."

"When the Tiegen's daughter-in-law and the wild man heard the movement, they also looked at the iron root from the window, and the iron root looked up and saw his daughter-in-law cheating, so he only had time to shout the words 'you yin woman', and he lost his breath." ”

"When I hurriedly climbed down the ladder, and as soon as I removed the ladder from the fence and hid it, I heard the old lady of Tiegen blocking the door and shouting for help, and the neighbor next door entered the yard, and he grabbed Tiegen's daughter-in-law and her wild man and left."

The old king said a long time, and finally made the matter clear.

Only then did everyone understand how Li Tiegen died.

It's a pity that this Li Tiegen really died unjustly, and he didn't know who the real murderer was until he died.

Bai Luo also sighed, and then wondered: "Then since no one saw you commit the crime, why did you confess your guilt as soon as the official came in?" ”

"My lord, every time you come to investigate the scene, I peek through the cracks in the window in the house, and this time I see that you are on the wall, and you compare the bricks, and you look carefully in my yard, I know that I can't escape."

"Besides, I dream every day that Tiegen is looking at me with a bloody face, and I am scared every night, and I am scared out of my illness, anyway, the adults are also suspicious of me, it is better to admit it cleanly, and I can sleep peacefully at night." The old king is also a simple person, and he has explained everything.

"Your case has a lot of impact in Anning County, and I need to hold a public trial tomorrow to give an explanation to the people, so I have to arraign you in court tomorrow, do you understand?" Bai Luo asked.

"I know, alas, I have watched dozens of public trials since I was a child, but I didn't expect that I would have to go up and be tried once in my life." The old king sighed, and his tone was both relieved and bitter.

Bai Luo looked at the kneeling old king and shook his head, saying that this old king is not a traitor, and he is not a vicious person.

It's just that because of greed, he made this big mistake, and in the end, he had to pay for his life, which is really sad and lamentable.

She ordered aloud: "Jiang Xin Wang Hai, immediately detain the criminal Wang Gao back to the county government prison." ”

"Yes, sir." Jiang Xin and Wang Hai responded in unison energetically.

The two tied Lao Wang's head up and down and escorted him out of the courtyard.

As soon as the appearance of this old king came out, the people were in an uproar, but they didn't expect that this honest old king was really the murderer of Li Tiegen.

I think everyone thought that the murderer must be the adulterer**, who would have thought that it could be this old king who killed Li Tiegen?
