Chapter 49: There Is Only One Truth (2nd Update)
"Why did Zhang Kun suddenly become rich? That's the money you gave him. You bribed the clerk who copied the test papers, and when you copied them, you deliberately swapped the test papers of the two of you, so you, who were originally mediocre in learning, became a jinshi in high school, but Han Shan fell to Sun Shan. ”
"This is not a wolf's heart, you are worried that Han Shan will find out the problem and expose you, so together with Zhang Kun, he killed Han Shan, lying that he had returned to the Daimyo's Mansion. Don't quibble, because Han Shan is standing behind you and watching you right now! ”
When Han Cheng heard this, he was so frightened that he looked behind him, only to see that there was nothing behind him.
Jiang Yanzhi continued, "Early this morning, you saw me coming to look for you and ask about Han Shan, and most of the things that could be done in Kaifeng Mansion could not be concealed. So you panicked, so you went to Zhang Kun's house, and secretly entered through the corner door to discuss this matter with him. ”
"Unexpectedly, Zhang Kun is insatiable, taking the opportunity to blackmail you, asking you to give money, and wants to carry Xiao Chunxiang back to the house, if you don't give it, he will come to find Mrs. Han, tell you that he is having an affair with his wife, and expose you for pretending to be Han Shan. You felt that if you went on like this, you would have to wear a gang sooner or later, so you strangled Zhang Kun with hemp rope and disguised himself as if he was hanging. ”
"Zhang Kun struggled desperately and scratched your hand. When you returned, you covered the wound with your lady's powder, so that no one might be suspicious. ”
Han Cheng couldn't say a word, but Mrs. Han said tremblingly, "The three kings have said so much, what evidence is there?" ”
Jiang Yanzhi smiled, "This king never said anything without evidence. In this world, as long as you have done something, you will definitely leave traces, as long as someone has a heart to investigate, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed. There may be several sides to a person, but there is only one truth. ”
"First of all, are you Han Cheng or Han Shan. I sent someone to the Daimyo's Mansion to ask, and I found out. Even if you don't have distant relatives, you have close neighbors. ”
"Secondly, after the test paper of Chunyu is copied, the original test paper will be sealed. I am the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion and the three kings, and I have the right to transfer out your examination papers with Han Shan. Which one was written by you and which one was written by Han Shan, it's clear. ”
"Again, the money you gave Zhang Kun can buy a mansion in Kaifeng Mansion, it must be a lot. Even if you Han family are rich and have to transport so much silver from the daimyo at once, it is impossible not to leave a trace, the money you transported is gone, but Zhang Kun suddenly has money. Zhang Kun has been blackmailing you, and you have every motive to kill him. ”
"The scratches on your hands are proof. Also, Han Cheng, spread out your palms for us to take a look. ”
Han Cheng subconsciously shrank his hand behind him, Jiang Yanzhi walked over directly and grabbed his hand, only to see that there were traces of hemp rope in the palm of his hand.
"If you want to strangle Zhang Kun, you must use the strength of your hand to strangle the rope, and your hand will naturally have strangulation marks."
When he came, he only focused on scratching the marks, and then thought about it carefully, and the matter of the rope, Zhang Kun committed suicide by hanging the beam with hemp rope.
Mrs. Han looked at Han Cheng's hand and immediately sat on the ground, "God, what kind of person am I marrying!" ”
Seeing that he was powerless to return to the sky, Han Cheng cried bitterly, "Three kings, Zhang Kun was indeed killed by me, but Han Shan, I didn't kill him, he hanged himself." ”
"My family is a well-known wealthy merchant in the Daimyo's Mansion, and there is no shortage of money in the family. But I don't like to study, let alone Jinshi, and I can't even pass the exam. Daddy was more and more disappointed in me, and later Auntie gave birth to a younger brother, who was smart...... I was upset, afraid that my younger brother would take possession of the property, so I went to drink alone. ”
"That's when I met Zhang Kun. Zhang Kun gave me an idea, saying that he could help me get lifted. I didn't believe it at first, but he ...... I really hit the lift. Later, he helped me choose Han Shan. I found a fortune teller and asked him to say that I had to change my name to Han Shan in order to be able to name the gold list. ”
"I just got the Jinshi, and my father believed in me very much, and decisively spent a lot of money to help me change my name to Han Shan. What follows is the same as the three kings guessed. But I really didn't kill Han Shan, I felt very guilty about robbing him of his ranking, and I wanted to compensate him for the silver, so I entrusted Zhang Kun to give it to him. ”
"Zhang Kun didn't give Han Shan silver." Min Weixiu interjected.
Han Cheng nodded, "After I found out, I was very angry, so I went to Zhang Kun's house to question him. That bit of money is nothing to me, but if I give it to Han Shan, he can still come to Beijing to take the spring exam in the next subject, and he can also go to high school, in this case, wouldn't it be a win-win situation. ”
"But who knew that it was such a coincidence, Han Shan came to look for Zhang Kun and overheard my quarrel with Zhang Kun. Furious, he rushed out. ”
Later, Zhang Kun came back from him, and he was already drunk. I didn't know what to do, I was so flustered that at this time, Zhang Kun had a bad idea. He...... He deliberately let his wife lie on the same bed as Han Shan, so that when Han Shan got up the next day, he went to catch the adulterer. ”
"Han Shan has a handle and has been arrested, so he will naturally keep his mouth shut about the imperial examination. I'll give him another sum of money and ask him to retake the exam, and everything will be fine. ”
Han Cheng said, feeling guilty, "But we never thought of it." Han Shan is like a stuffy gourd on weekdays, but he acts very strongly. The next morning, after being arrested, he started crying all the time. ”
"It's been many years, but I still remember it vividly. He said that Uncle Wang, who was in the east of their village, sold his daughter to a big family to be a maidservant, so that he could get enough money for his studies; He said that his wife had to farm during the day and spin and weave at night by moonlight, so that the eldest son and the eldest son saved money for him to study. ”
And his two sons, still young children, went to herd cattle...... He didn't pass the exam for the first time, and the whole village was sad for a whole month as if his father had died. He was still the village chief, who sold his family's ancestral belongings, and his wife sold the family's land and asked him to take the exam again. ”
"Each of them whispers in his ear every day, Han Shan, you are the hope of our whole village! We smashed the pot and sold it down, and poured everything we could, just to make you stand out and give back to your neighbors in the future. He had already failed once, and he saw the disappointed and condemning looks of the villagers......"
He said that after his wife married him, she had not worn a single good dress, let alone gold and silver, and now he could not even give her loyalty...... He said a lot, and there was no sound when he spoke, and we slammed the door open and went in to see that Han Shan had hanged himself. ”
