At that time, as soon as the sky was bright, Young Master Song found an old beggar who died of illness at the gate of the Song family, and felt very unlucky, so he asked us, who lived in the ear room, to quickly throw the body to the mass grave. When Zhang Ming and I went to the mass grave to dump the corpses, we found that they were stealing the corpses! ”

Huang Xiaocao pointed at Xin Laosan and the others: "At that time, it was not yet dawn, we were hiding behind the crooked neck tree, and they didn't find us!" They stole a total of six bodies from mass graves, and I remember them clearly! ”

"What corpse did you steal?" The prefectural magistrate asked.

Since the autopsy was completed, the coffin was covered again, and if Huang Xiaocao could answer, it would prove that he was not lying.

"Stealing a young male corpse, an adult male corpse, and an adult female corpse......" Huang Xiaocao said slowly as she recalled.

Now, the truth is revealed, those corpses are indeed not related to the plaintiffs, they are all scattered corpses in mass graves.

"Xin Laosan, what else do you have to say?" The prefectural magistrate asked.

"We ...... We have nothing to say......" Xin Laosan's face was dismayed.

"Who told you to do this?"

"It's Shopkeeper Xue." The plaintiffs and the false witnesses said in unison.

The county magistrate snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, since you have confessed your guilt, then one person will be punished with fifty boards, the man will be exiled for three years, and the woman will be exiled for three years!" ”

"Yes." They said in unison.

At this point, the people outside the public court began to talk again.

"It turns out that everything is a play! The plaintiff is fake, the corpse is fake, and the witness is fake, so will the act also be fake? ”

"It must be fake! It depends on how the false testimony will be exposed! ”

"Alas, this world is so terrible, it's hard to be a good person! I think it's because the little proprietor of Detai Mixing is too kind-hearted that he will be harmed to death! ”

……

Sure enough, Ming Yi immediately said: "Do a full set of things, outside the court, there is Mr. Cui who is the first person standing in Youzhou, let Mr. Cui come to the autopsy!" ”

The prefectural magistrate was a little surprised and almost stood up.

Mr. Cui's name is in the entire Youzhou, which can be described as thunderous.

It is a lowly profession, just because Mr. Cui has a good ability, helping the criminal prison officer in Youzhou to solve strange cases and important cases, creating one legend after another, and is deeply valued by the criminal prison officer, in addition to him, the criminal prison officer refuses to let any person as the autopsy of the case he handles, therefore, he has to be respectfully shouted "sir" wherever he goes.

After Mr. Cui came in, he first gave a salute to the county magistrate, and then asked the officials to open the coffin and begin a serious autopsy.

Su Yaoxue looked at Mr. Cui expectantly, she had a hunch that this time she would definitely be completely cleared of charges!

After the autopsy was completed, Mr. Cui said to the county magistrate: "My lord, the first female corpse was about 20 to 25 years old, five feet tall, had no obvious external injuries on her body, and died of tuberculosis, and the time of death was about five days ago; The second male corpse ......"

After talking about the cause of death of the six corpses, the people showed such expressions, and then they began to scold those immoral detractors!

The servants from other counties bowed their heads one after another, embarrassed to bear the insults from them.

Zhang Cheng of Qingyun County didn't say a word, his face was like ashes, the matter had come to this, he had already accepted his fate.

"Zhang Qizuo, what else do you have to say?" The county magistrate asked angrily and sadly, in the past few years, he has trusted Zhang Chengzuo, but he didn't expect that he would collect money to do such a thing, which was really disappointing to him.

Zhang Chengzuo's lips twitched, but he didn't even spit out a word.

"Do you plead guilty or not?" The prefectural commander asked again.

Zhang Qizuo pursed his lips and was silent.

"It seems that you won't shed tears when you don't see the coffin," the county commander stretched out his hand to draw money, "Someone's coming......"

"Daddy!" Outside the courtroom, a child shouted, pushed through the layers of crowds, and broke into the court, "Dad, I've been saved!" I'm back safely! ”

Zhang Qizuo turned his head excitedly, and tears burst out of his eyes in an instant.

"Where's your mother?" Zhang Qizuo asked again.

"My mother was also rescued, Dad, look back, my mother is outside!" The child shouted excitedly.

"So you—you're not hurt, are you?" Zhang Yanzuo glanced back at his wife outside the court, and asked nervously.

"Nope!" The child's newborn calf pointed at Mu Jiuyuan without fear of the tiger, and said crisply, "It was the adult who sent someone to save me and my mother, and he also asked the people below to buy sugar gourds for me to eat!" ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he was shocked, and looked at Mu Jiuyuan cautiously.

Mu Jiuyuan can be described as the jade-faced living king of Hell and the famous god of war.

Since the founding of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has frequently suffered defeats in wars in the northwest and northeast, and in just over 150 years, it has lost one-third of the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Before the death of the first emperor, every time the war was mentioned, the court was full of gloom and miserable rain.

Since the death of the first emperor, every year when neighboring countries invade, Mu Jiuyuan, who was pushed to death by the new emperor, can beat them and lose their troops and disarm them!

Such a terrible living Hades would order the people below to buy sugar gourds for a child? He didn't think the child was noisy, and let people slaughter the child with a knife, which is already great mercy, right?

Mu Jiuyuan was a little uncomfortable by the glance of the county commander, and the aura around him suddenly cooled, so frightened that the county magistrate quickly turned his head.

At this time, Mu Jiuyuan was indeed a little embarrassed, he saw the child's innocent appearance, and thought of the happy appearance of Su Yaoxue and a group of children in the mountain village when they ate sugar gourds, and this is why he ordered people to buy sugar gourds for the child.

It was just a knee-jerk order, and when he came back to his senses, he was stunned.

Since meeting Su Yaoxue, he has unconsciously changed a lot, and his heart, which was once frozen hard, has softened a little bit.

People who are as cold as ice and snow are dyed with a little smoke and fire smell of red dust.

Seeing that his wife and children had been rescued, Zhang Qizuo finally no longer had any scruples, and he said loudly to the county commander: "My lord, two days ago, Steward Liu in the county Cheng Lord's mansion suddenly found the villain, handed the villain ten taels of silver, and asked the villain to help perjury, the villain naturally refused, and Steward Liu did not force it that day, but the next day, he kidnapped the villain's wife and children, and threatened him, and the villain could only agree." It's the villain who has betrayed the trust of the adult, please punish the adult! ”

Seeing that such famous figures as Mr. Cui had undergone autopsies, and Zhang had confessed first, they followed suit.
