Chapter 058: Facing the Court
Report?
Mrs. Zhou sat down on the ground and looked at Mu Yunge in despair. She didn't expect things to come to this point, and she didn't notice anything for a while.
Zhou Bangyan hated his teeth itching, and as soon as he heard Cui Luo's words, he had a plan in his heart: no matter what this matter is, as long as Mrs. Zhou doesn't take the silver, and when he returns to the Zhou family, even if he kills Mrs. Zhou, he will definitely take the silver in his hand. With the silver to open up the joints, I believe that in the near future, it is completely possible to rise step by step! As soon as Mu Yunge reported the case, everything was disrupted!
Old Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Bangyan had the same thoughts, and they looked at Mu Yunge's eyes with annoyance: How can this cheap maid have the courage to report the case?
Since the arrest of the Xu family, Wang Fuzhi, the newly appointed magistrate of Jinling, is an iron-faced and cold-hearted person, who is friendly with the Anbohou Mansion, and does not buy his Zhou family's account at all, but I am afraid that this time, Mrs. Zhou will really not be able to keep it!
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and no one among the onlookers shouted: "Wang Zhixian is here!" Then the crowd automatically separated, and sure enough, Wang Fuzhi came to the Mu family with people from the county government.
Wang Fuzhi's complexion is dark, and his face is a little scary, originally in Renzhi County, another county, known as "Black-faced Little Lei Gong", the most stern and dull.
As soon as Wang Fu arrived, the situation in the hall immediately changed, and Aunt Luo came down from the main seat and invited Wang Fuzhi to the main seat.
The Mu family turned into a public court in an instant, Wang Fuzhi sat on the main seat, glanced at the people in the hall, and his eyes fell on Mu Yunge: "You went to the county government to report the case?" ”
"It's the slave!" Mu Yunge knelt in the hall and said loudly.
Wang Fuzhi said: "This official has accepted the case and asked Shen Zhutou to investigate." There are some clues today, so I ask you to go to the county government with this official. ”
"Yes." Mu Yunge said softly, stood up and took Mu Jinran, and asked, "Dare to ask my lord, is it everyone in the hall?" Are all the servants of the Mu family going to go? ”
Wang Fuzhi nodded slightly, his eyes skimmed over the people of the Zhou family, and then said, "Don't use all of them, I will summon them when the time comes." ”
"Then we don't have to go, right?" Zhou Bangyan hurriedly said.
Wang Fuzhi's face was even heavier: "Lord Zhou, I'm just afraid that it won't work." He looked at Mrs. Zhou with a uncertain expression: "Your Zhou family, as a defendant, must also go to the county office." Please come with me! Above the court, you can distinguish between right and wrong, and if Lord Zhou is innocent, there is no need to worry. ”
At this point, Zhou Bangyan couldn't refuse if he wanted to, so he had to take the Zhou family to follow him and go to the county government together.
Today's Mu family is so lively, and after a wave of walking, the people of Jinling are all in a sensation. Seeing that so many people were going to the county office, I asked people who knew each other to know that murder was involved, and the simple people also followed.
Wang Fuzhi's ascension to the hall immediately started with the person Yun Luo saw for the last time.
Mrs. Zhou bore the brunt of the attack, kneeling down and replying: "Lord Hui, the folk woman saw Yunluo that day, she sent silver to the folk woman for Aunt Luo, and the folk woman saw Yunluo in Baosheng Zhai, and the shopkeeper of Baosheng Zhai can testify for the civil woman." When the women left, Yunluo also left Baosheng Zhai with the women. ”
She had a ghost in her heart, and kept looking at Zhou Bangyan while talking, hoping that her husband could reach out to help her.
But she understood Zhou Bangyan's thoughts, he was questioned by the county order, and he was in the critical period of the inspection of the inspection department, and it was difficult to protect himself, where did he dare to speak for her?
Zhou Bangyan shrank behind Mrs. Zhou, hung his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhou felt a burst of despair in her heart, so anxious that she fainted in front of her, and she just wished that she couldn't pass out and end this nightmare.
After hearing this, Wang Fuzhi pondered for a while, and asked carefully: "When did you leave Baosheng Zhai?" ”
"It's not about three moments." Mrs. Zhou's eyes rolled: "The women can't remember clearly." ”
Wang Fuzhi stopped asking her, and instead asked Mu Yunge: "After this, did Yunluo return to the Mu family?" ”
"Back to my lord, no." Mu Yunge thought about it carefully and shook his head.
Wang Fuzhi asked Cui Luo again: "Chuanyun Luo rolled up Aunt Luo's money and eloped with someone, but how did you know about it?" ”
Cuiluo glanced at Mrs. Zhou timidly, as if she was afraid of Wang Fuzhi, her face was full of contradictions, and it took a long time for her to lower her head and say: "Lord Hui, it was Mrs. Zhou who gave the slave maid a thousand taels of silver and let the slave and maid say so." Mrs. Zhou also said that if the slave maid did what she said, not only would she get 1,000 taels of silver, but after Aunt Luo monopolized the Mu family, she could also help the slave and maid redeem herself. If the slave and maid do not do what she says, she will tell Aunt Luo about it, and when the time comes, the slave and maid will be accused of murdering the lady and miss, and the slave and maid will have no good fruit to eat! ”
Wang Fuzhi snorted coldly: "Chuan Baosheng Zhai's shopkeeper!" ”
Soon, the official went to pass on Liu Qingshan, the shopkeeper of Baosheng Zhai.
As soon as Liu Qingshan arrived at the county office, he looked at the few women kneeling in the lobby, and his mind immediately turned around, and he understood what it was for.
He knelt on the ground and waited for Wang Fuzhi's interrogation.
Wang Fuzhi glanced at him, lowered his eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhou's confession just now, before asking, "Do you have any impression of what Mrs. Zhou said?" ”
"Back to the adult, the villain remembers." Liu Qingshan hurriedly replied: "The villain remembers that afternoon, Mrs. Zhou and Yunluo girls both came to our shop, and they stayed in the wing room for a while, and they quarreled for some reason. The villain happened to be in the shop that day, and when he heard the quarrel, he went to check on the side room. But when the villain arrived, Lord Zhou was already ready to leave, and her girl came out with Yunluo on her back, and the villain felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward to ask a few words. ”
"What did Mrs. Zhou say?" Wang Fuzhi asked again.
Liu Qingshan thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Zhou said that Yunluo's girl is dizzy and sick, so it's good to rest for a while." The villain also said that there was medicine in the shop, but Mrs. Zhou told the villain not to meddle in his affairs. ”
Wang Fuzhi nodded, indicating that he understood, he snorted coldly again, and looked at Mrs. Zhou: "What he said is the truth?" ”
Mrs. Zhou wanted to deny it, but opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word in her throat.
At this moment, Shen Congshan took two officials and strode out from outside. As soon as he came in, he knelt in the lobby and replied: "My lord, after two days of investigation, the little one has found a clue. The little one followed the clues and searched a lake, from which a body was recovered. ”
"Bring it up." Wang Fu ordered.
The two officials immediately brought up the things they were carrying. The white cloth was torn open, and a thin girl lay quietly on the stretcher. She was covered in wet clothes and wrapped in dirt, her wet hair was on her face, half of her face was slightly puffy, and she could still vaguely see her original face. As soon as there is a hideous scar on the forehead, it can be seen that it is not suicide.
As soon as she saw this girl, Mrs. Zhou subconsciously let out an "ah" and shrank back.
Mu Yunge stepped forward to identify it carefully, and it took a long time before he said with a sad face: "Lord Hui, it's Yunluo." ”
Wang Fuzhi nodded, signaled her to be calm, and asked Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, you taught Cuiluo to say that Yunluo eloped with someone, but you knew in advance that she would not be there?" ”
This is also the most difficult question for Mrs. Zhou to answer, she was asked by Wang Fuyi, and suddenly the six gods were lost, and she stammered: "People's women...... Women's ......"
Her eyes rolled quickly, and at this moment, her life was at stake, and she mobilized all her intelligence and wit, and she really came up with an answer: "That's right." Yun Luo and Bai Ling, the girl of the folk woman, have always been acquainted, and the two often whispered together for a while. The folk woman also knew that Yun Luo had a good relationship from the girl Bai Ling, but Aunt Luo always disagreed with Yun Luo's marriage, so she thought that Yun Luo suddenly disappeared and eloped with someone. ”
"Is that so?" Wang Fuzhi asked Bai Ling.
Bai Ling immediately knelt down, she glanced at Mrs. Zhou, her expression was strange, and then she said, "Lord Hui, yes." Yun Luo had told the slave more than once that she really liked that person. ”
"Who's that guy?" Wang Fuzhi asked.
Where did Bai Ling know who it was, so he had to make it up: "Yun Luo didn't want to say his name, but he only heard that he knew him when he was working before." ”
For a time, the interrogation reached an impasse, and a non-existent person could not help the progress of the case at all.
Wang Fuzhi thought about it, and decided to start with Mrs. Zhou. Years of interrogation experience told him that the woman in front of him had many secrets, and it involved the key to the case. He carefully looked at Mrs. Zhou's demeanor and found that her whole body was nervous and lying!
His heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Mrs. Zhou, where did you separate from Yunluo after you came out of Baosheng Zhai with Yunluo that day?" ”
"On that day, the women were going to the farms outside the city, so the carriages were going to the outside of the city. As soon as she arrived at the city gate, Yun Luo woke up and asked the women to let her down at the city gate. The woman didn't expect so much, so she let her go back by herself. Mrs. Zhou nervously tugged at her handkerchief: "Where did the woman think that Yunluo would never come back and die in the lake?" ”
Wang Fuzhi stopped talking.
Mrs. Zhou must have been prepared, although there were many loopholes in her words, but every loophole was unproven, so he had no way to start.
The interrogation could not find a breakthrough, and the people on the periphery surrounded the yamen in three layers and three layers outside, and his heart became solemn.
At this time, Shen Congshan, who had been beside him and didn't speak, glanced at Mu Yunge, Mu Yunge nodded slightly, he immediately walked to Wang Fuzhi's side, bent down and whispered to Wang Fuzhi: "Adult, the little one has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”
"What's the idea?" Wang Fuzhi was surprised, Shen Congshan never opened his mouth when trying the case, maybe he really had a clever trick.
Shen Congshan approached his ear and whispered a few words.
Wang Fuzhi's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately said: "Do it like this, you go and prepare." ”
Shen got the order from the mountain and went down with people. After a while, he brought back a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest from outside, waiting on the side of the lobby, waiting for the arraignment.
Wang Fuyi was shocked, and waited for the people discussing to calm down before saying: "Today's matter is very suspenseful, and the official has no way to start." I heard that the soul does not disperse within seven days after the death of a person, and it is the best time to summon the soul for three days after the death of Yun Luo. Since no one in the living can point out the murderer, let Yun Luo himself avenge the wrongs for himself! ”
