Chapter 174: Despicable

Ran Yan tried his best to restore the damaged vocal cords, although it is impossible to return to the original state, but there should be no problem, and Gelan's inability to vocalize may be due to psychological disorders.

It can only stimulate her unconscious vocalization. However, Ran Yan also had a little headache, and Ge Lan was outrageous and calm, no matter how late green scared her, what she got in exchange was just a faint glance.

In desperation, I had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being.

After Ran Yan took the medicine, he lay on the couch and thought about the case. Zhuang Yin was arrested, but another person died, was it his accomplice who committed the crime? Someone else is the murderer? Does Luo Ling have a motive to kill?

According to Xiao Song, when several criminals died, their whereabouts were not proven, and if she had a motive to kill, then it was very likely that she was the murderer......

These are all later words, what makes Ran Yan puzzled is that Wang Si lives in Luoyang, will he appear here? and Feng Zhao too, for no reason, he wouldn't run to the woods west of the city in the middle of the night.

Outside the window, the night rain is getting heavier and heavier, and all the sounds between heaven and earth are drowned out by the falling rain.

At the end of the day, the county government was brightly lit.

Xiao Song had already returned to the yainai from the crime scene, changed his clothes, sat in the small east room and drank tea, his black hair was loosely knotted behind him with a silk belt, and the tips of his hair were constantly dripping.

The heat obscured his countenance, and he couldn't see it.

Zhuang Yin, who was sitting opposite him, had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, secretly frightened, if it weren't for the fact that this person was really only twenty years old, Zhuang Yin would probably think that this veteran of officialdom was just well-maintained. I just asked a few words casually, and it was just an ordinary question if I didn't think about it, but now that I think about it, I have to pinch the point.

Zhuang Yin was nervous not because he was afraid of him, but because he had to be on guard against the other party's seemingly unintentional questioning all the time, which was really tiring.

Xiao Song finished drinking the tea, gently put the cup on the table, and raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Yin again, with a gentle smile on his face, as if talking about which dish he ate for dinner, "Tang Law" has an order that if you kill more than three people who are not capital crimes, the criminal will be beheaded regardless of the leader. I remember that there were several files in the Criminal Department, on the night of November 4 in the winter of the seventh year of Wude, heavy snow, Zhangzhuang, Yingzhou; In the spring of the eighth year of Wude, in February, Yingshang County, Yingzhou......"

Xiao Song did not say the specific case, only the specific. Zhuang Yin stared at him in surprise, listening to these cases, he was like a treasure, but he didn't have the slightest. I heard that Xiao Song went to Jiangnan to handle the case, Zhuang Yin specially inquired about his itinerary, although he suddenly ran to Jushui County, but Zhuang Yin was sure that he did not go to the Criminal Department to check the information.

Xiao Song didn't think much about him, "These cases add up, and there are twenty-seven lives that died in the hands of Zhuang Langjun. Xiao Song smiled faintly, "The sin you have committed is death on both sides and left, but ...... There are many ways to die, heroes and heroes throw their heads and spill blood, and their heads are just a scar the size of a bowl, Xiao really doesn't want to see Zhuang Langjun suffer pain and humiliation. ”

"It's nothing more than hanging and beheading." Zhuang Yin's hand on his lap was clenched tightly, and the eyelid wrench on his thumb pressed a white patch around him.

Unlike in the past, the Tang Law stipulated that the death penalty was only carried out by hanging and beheading.

Xiao Song took the hot tea that had just been added, skimmed the floating tea leaves on it, and when he heard Zhuang Yin's words, he paused and explained kindly, "Zhuang Langjun knows the criminal law very well, but Xiao has been a waiter in the criminal department for a few years, and he can't figure out a lot of ways. For example, there is no explicit stipulation that this beheading must be killed with a knife......"

"Despicable man" Zhuang Yin interrupted him with a pale face, "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Song took a sip of tea, "I heard that Zhuang Langjun did not cooperate with the investigation of the case, you must have heard that Xiao's reputation is not good." ”

The implication is that there will be no way to survive in the hands of him Xiao Song, but if he cooperates well, he will consider giving him a good time.

In fact, the rumors about Xiao Song are not very bad, it just means that he is resolute, ruthless, and has a bad spirit, which is naturally not good news for those who are traitors, but the government and the opposition have an excellent opinion of him, at least he is upright.

"You want to?" Although Zhuang Yin didn't want to admit that he was afraid of this young man who was twenty years younger, but the matter had come to this point, he had to give in.

Xiao Song leaned on the backrest of the round-waisted Hu bed, and his smile was undiminished, but Zhuang Yin dared to hurt Seventeen Niang, no matter how much he could, it would not end well in his hands, but from his calm look, he couldn't see the slightest clue, "I heard that I wandered at the door of Su's house a few days ago, for?" ”

A few days ago, the county lieutenant of Song County was courteous and sent people to Su Mansion to arrest suspicious people, although no one was caught, but there was a head catcher and Zhuang Yin face-to-face. It's a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Zhuang Yin pulled out a smile, leaned forward slightly, and a wicked smile appeared on his bearded face, "The reputation of the widow of the Su family is far and wide, if you get her, isn't it better than being a bandit?" ”

Xiao Song stared at Zhuang Yin with a pair of dark eyes, staring at him until his smile froze on his face, and suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, "Haha, it's understandable." ”

Just when Zhuang Yin thought that he had passed the test, Xiao Song's laughter stopped abruptly and said lightly, "Zhuang Langjun, Xiao really doesn't want to forcibly force a confession, but I am benevolent and am regarded as stupid, do you suspect Xiao's methods?" Want to see it for yourself? ”

The room was oppressive, and Xiao Song's coercive momentum was like a tide, and even the temples of the officials standing on both sides were oozing sweat.

"Let me live, you can do whatever you want." Zhuang Yin finally disarmed and surrendered, and he had no chance of winning this confrontation.

"This is negotiable, but before my patience is exhausted, please answer my question." Xiao Song's slender fingers flicked away the water droplets that were accidentally stained, put down the cup, and looked at Zhuang Yin for a long time, "Otherwise, it won't be beautiful in case your violent death in prison, don't you jump words."

Zhuang Yin's eyes widened, he didn't dare to hear it from the mouth of this righteous criminal servant, and at the same time, he deeply regretted making this request, because he had completely exposed his weakness in front of this cunning fox.

"The elder brother of the Xiao family is upright and upright, and Xiao Shilang is really unique," Zhuang Yin sneered.

Xiao Song smiled undeniably, not arousing the slightest anger.

After a pause, Zhuang Yin finally began to confess, "Ten years ago, I spent 1,000 taels of gold in the prison of Jushui County to buy off several jailers at that time, and asked them to find a person who had committed the death penalty to replace them......

For some reason, Zhuang Yin talked about the process of hiding from the world ten years ago.

Xiao Song sensitively sensed his question, "That drunk Lang Jun has something to do with Su?" ”

Zhuang Yin glanced at Xiao Song in admiration, lowered his head and said, "No, that Lang Jun is her husband." At that time, the Su family was a big household in Jushui County, and I didn't let those jailers out so much that even the Su family dared to kill them. Half of the gold was paid first, and after the matter was completed, it was agreed to pay the other half of the money at the place where the body was buried, and they went to three people, one named Zesan, one named Feng Zhao, and one called Wang Si......"

……

Ten years ago, the west of Jushui County.

Not long after nightfall, Ze Pingzhi and Feng Zhao carried a bag of sacks of cats in the woods, and after waiting for a long time, more than a dozen people in black with swords suddenly appeared in the woods.

Ze Pingzhi sensitively sensed the other party's killing intent, and immediately said, "Today, we only brought half of the corpses, if we haven't returned at dawn, someone will take the other half of the corpses to the yamen to report the case, and everyone will die together."

The man in black paused, Zhuang Yin walked out from behind a stout dead tree, and laughed, "They have no malice, robbers, they are a little more arrogant." He glanced at the sack, "Open it and take a look." ”

Sawaheiji quickly untied the bag and poured out the half-dead body. Seeing this corpse that was split in half from the middle of his legs, even Zhuang Yin, who killed people without blinking, couldn't stop his scalp from tingling, in order to survive, they could really do it

"Bring the gold out," Zhuang Yin commanded.

At this moment, the grass next to him moved slightly.

Zhuang Yin glanced at the nearest man in black, and the man flew into the grass.

"Ahh......hh

Suddenly, the man in black grabbed a young man in blue and gray clothes from the grass, and the young man saw the faces of the three of Zeheiji, and his face turned pale.

"This kid has to kill us." Zeheiji said immediately.

Although Zhuang Yin was a robber, he had the idea of doing chivalrous deeds, and generally only attacked those officials and profiteers who looted the people's fat and ointment, and disdained to endanger ordinary good people. He was really disgusted with the actions of Ze Pingji and others, so he objected, "Don't kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

After that, he turned to the young man and said, "You gouge out your eyes and swear that you will not leak today's affairs, and I will spare your life." ”

Jushui County is not big, and they will at least be familiar with each other, Ze Pingzhi and others are naturally not worried about the young man's life, but the young man is Liu Wen, a famous talent in Jushui County, they are jailers, and they usually have contact with the three sects, and there is always a handle to pinch Liu Wen.

"Later, I learned that the person who replaced me with his death turned out to be the Su family, so I made a fake game at that time, so that the Su family mistakenly thought that Mu Langjun had eloped with another woman." Zhuang Yin still feels guilty now.

The Su family is a big family, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and after a while, it was rumored that Mu Langjun died of illness. Because Mu Langjun is a foreigner who came to Jushui County, he rarely goes out, and others do not know the specific situation.

After listening to Zhuang Yin's narration, Xiao Song paused for a moment and raised his voice, "Someone is coming"

Running in were Feng County Ling and Song County Lieutenant and two catchers, Xiao Song glanced at them and said, "Arrest Ze Pingzhi, the owner of Yuelai Inn, and several other people involved in this case." ”

"Yes," Feng County Ling replied attentively, and then hurriedly asked Song County Lieutenant to deploy.

Zhuang Yin saw the busy and embarrassed appearance of several people, and suddenly laughed, he looked at Xiao Song and said, "I thought that it was enough to bow my head and submit to softness in front of a young official, but now I see a group of more real wretched. ”

Feng Xianling really wanted to point at Zhuang Yin's nose and scold: You He was just forced to confess, our family is waiting to eat, the officialdom is walking on thin ice, you are a bandit who knows a fart

The heart was secretly scolding, and Feng Xianling didn't bother to bother with him, it was more important to do the things explained by his superiors

Xiao Song didn't answer, only smiled faintly, his slender fingers knocked on the table regularly, and after a while, he stood up and walked out, and when he passed by Zhuang Yin's side, he said with a smile, "Xiao also went to visit the pretty widow of the Su family." ”

"She's not a murderer." Zhuang Yin was a little anxious, and said firmly, "I'm afraid that those people will be unfavorable to her, and she has already planted people around Su Mansion, and it is impossible for her to go out and kill people." ”

"Did I say she was a murderer, don't skip words. Xiao Song lazily dropped this sentence and instructed the servant, "Take him back to the cell"

Alas, no one pays attention to the case~~Sad~~~~ Alas, the Su Fu Party has been drowning the sleeve paper recently, I have to say that I have to tell everyone that Lord Su will appear in the next few days, and the sleeve paper was originally arranged for February 14, but the estimate of the sleeve paper has never been a score, so I didn't dare to tell everyone, in case it was early or postponed, for fear of suffering from the bricks.

In addition, about the question of the male protagonist, this pinch is about a love story and a post-mortem case, and there won't be too much married life, which one hasn't had one before getting married......

Of course, it may be impossible to say who it is.

Yes By].
