When Ma Zichen heard his master say that this handprint was pressed by himself, he was immediately angry and shouted loudly: "I am the handprint that you pressed on my fingers after you knocked me unconscious." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's unreasonable that such a thing should happen. After Ma Zichen was knocked unconscious by you, then you pressed the handprint pressed by the other party's fingers, and then the case was hastily closed!
When the master and his staff saw that Xu Yang was angry, they immediately fell to the ground and shouted in unison: "We didn't do it, we didn't do it." It was the previous county magistrate who caused us to do this! A good man spared his life, and a good man spared his life. ”
Xu Yang also thought that it was the county commander who took office to do it, but when he thought that the county commander who took office no longer knew that he had run there as an official, would he have to track down the other party through thousands of mountains and rivers? Xu Yang saw the two of them kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, snorted coldly, and said: "Knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be added to the first." The two of you obviously knew that Ma Zichen was innocent, not only did you not risk death to admonish you, but took advantage of the other party's coma to draw a charge with the other party's fingers, and you deserved death. Come on! ”
The officials standing below heard that it was Xu Yang who gave the order, and saw that it was the two masters, and immediately looked at the mudworms, and then at the masters, not knowing what to do. Seeing that these officials didn't do anything, Xu Yang snorted coldly and said, "Isn't my words working? If anyone doesn't obey my orders, I'll kill them first, I'm not joking with you! ”
The officials standing below knew that Xu Yang was not talking about it, and they saw that the other party was angry, so these officials surrounded the master and said: "Master forgive us! We have no choice but to do it!" Although these officials are all surrounding the master, but now these people only have four sticks in their hands, so the four of them stepped forward to hold down the two masters, and the remaining two raised their sticks and beat the two masters' buttocks. The two officials were counting on the side. I saw that the stick fell on the master's buttocks, and only the two masters screamed bitterly, and the sound was like a scream like killing a pig.
Xu Yang saw the two officials slapping the board towards the master's buttocks, and saw the two officials raise the sticks in their hands high, but when they were about to land on the master's buttocks, they paused obviously, and then gently hit the two of them on the buttocks, and the sound was very heavy. And the two masters cooperated tacitly, pretending to be in unbearable pain, screaming again and again.
Xu Yang saw that the two sides were playing a double reed play, and almost deceived themselves, snorted coldly, and sneered: "If you are reluctant to fight, then I have to do it myself." If you accidentally beat the two masters to death, don't resent me!
When the officials and masters heard that Xu Yang had discovered his cat, they suddenly shuddered, and heard the other party ask to fight again. The officials understood that if Xu Yang did it himself, they were afraid that the two masters would have no life, so they immediately became ruthless and said to the two masters: "The two masters, I have offended." Our brother is going to be ruthless, I'm sorry. After speaking, he raised the stick in his hand and fell on the buttocks of the two of them, and beat them to their feet in one fell swoop, roaring like killing pigs. Immediately, the buttocks of the two of them were opened, and blood splattered.
Xu Yang saw a stick and beat the master to his feet, and saw the blood on the buttocks of the two, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was blue, knowing that the officials had tried their best this time. After each of them received ten sticks on their buttocks, the two of them were already lying on the bench and dying, and their buttocks had already blossomed and become half bloody. After beating the master, the officials hurriedly took out the gold sore medicine from their arms and poured it on the buttocks of the two, and then helped the two to get up, while the two of them signaled to lie on the ground, unable to stand up, and unable to sit still.
Xu Yang watched the two masters lying on the ground unable to move, crying bitterly, and knew that the officials did not do their best, otherwise the result would be that the two of them would still be unconscious. Xu Yang originally had something to ask the two of them, so he saved the lives of the two of them, otherwise he would have signaled the officials to break the bones of both of them.
Xu Yang saw Ma Zichen looking at the two masters with a smile on his face, and said, "Ma Zichen, you will tell me in detail about the process of your mother's murder." You must know that whether you kill your wife or not, you must pay attention to evidence in everything. I will not wronged a good person, but I will never let a bad person go. ”
"My wife and I are truly in love, and I swear by my reputation that I did not kill my wife. One night three months ago, I was at home reviewing my homework when I saw my wife returning home in a hurry and in a hurry. I asked him what was wrong, and my wife was in a trance, so she ignored it, and went to sleep without eating. I remember that day my wife went to visit relatives in the village next door, and I was going to go with her, but my wife said that she could go alone, so I didn't insist on asking for companionship. Who would have thought, only one night in between, and my wife died. Brother Xu, I really didn't kill my wife, I was wronged!" Ma Zichen said with tears in his eyes.
Xu Yang touched his chin and thought about what Ma Zichen said, and thought that the most suspicious thing was that something must have happened during the other party's return home, which caused him to return home in such a hurry. When Xu Yang was about to ask Ma Zichen, he suddenly found that the mudworm sitting on the ground trembled again and again after hearing Ma Zichen's words, and his face instantly turned blue, and beads of sweat covered his face.
Xu Yang knew that Duo Mudworm was a lawless person, and when he was about to kill him before, he would show such a panicked appearance, and he wondered if the matter had anything to do with the other party? Xu Yang asked Ma Zichen: "Will you tell me about your lady's death?"
"I remember when I woke up in the morning and found my lady cold, and then I saw my lady's eyes wide, her pupils dilated, her eyes bloodshot, her lower lip had been bitten with blood, her face was pale, and her hands were clenched into fists, and she couldn't break them. But what struck me as strange was that my wife always took off her coat when she went to bed at night and then went to bed. And on the night of my mother's death, my mother did not take off her coat, and I also saw that my lady's coat was torn. Ma Zichen said with tears in his eyes.
Xu Yang listened to Ma Zichen's narration while squinting at the mudworms. Whenever Ma Zichen said that he was at a critical juncture, it was obvious that many mudworms couldn't help but tremble, and then his eyes were constantly rolling, looking like a thief. Xu Yang thought of Ma Zichen's appearance when he said that his mother died, and secretly thought: "Isn't this exactly the appearance of suffocating to death! It's just that a suffocated person can be killed by him or by suicide." And Ma Zichen slept with his wife all night, if someone lurked in the room and killed the other party's wife, Ma Zichen would definitely have some sleep. Since Ma Zichen did not kill his own lady, presumably the other party's lady was suffocated to death by herself. Xu Yang saw the two masters humming there, and asked: "Two masters, you are also the people present who witnessed Ma Zichen's case, and you have been on an errand in the county order for many years, presumably you also heard what Ma Zichen said just now, and you can also judge that the other party's wife was suffocated to death by herself, right?"
The two masters naturally knew what had happened, and knew that Ma Zichen was not the real murderer who killed his mother, so they couldn't help but look at the mudworms, and stopped talking. Xu Yang saw that after the two of them glanced at Duo Hun Worm, he saw Duo Hun Worm glaring at the two of them, and immediately guessed that Ma Zichen's case must have a great relationship with Duo Hun Worm.
Xu Yang saw many mudworms glaring at the two masters, and sneered: "Lord County Commander, you see that Ma Zichen is not the real murderer who killed his wife. Then tell me who is the culprit who killed the other lady?"
Seeing that Xu Yang threw this question to himself, Duo Hun Worm was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since Ma Zichen did not kill his own lady, and we cleared his innocence, presumably the other party's lady committed suicide." Since the other party's wife committed suicide and there is no murderer, there is no need to pursue this case further. ”
"Nonsense. How can a big living person be killed by himself, and besides, Ma Zichen and the other party's wife really love each other, and they have not abused each other, why should the other party seek death? I think that the other party's wife must have been insulted by others, and she has no face to meet others, so she has to cut herself off, so as to give herself a name of innocence and chastity. And this name of innocence and chastity cannot be preserved in life, only in death. Paper can't contain fire, and the truth will be exposed sooner or later. Master, county commander, do you think what I said is right?" Xu Yang came one by one.
Duo Hun Worm and the masters heard that Xu Yang had discovered that there were many suspicions, and saw that the other party could reason so thoroughly, and knew that this matter could not be hidden. The master and the two opened their mouths and were about to speak, when they saw that the eyes of many mudworms were like copper bells, they were so frightened that they quickly shut up.
Xu Yang naturally took in the expressions and movements of the two sides, snorted coldly, and said to the two masters: "It seems that the two of you were not beaten enough by the board just now, and you still want to be beaten by the board again! I can make it clear in advance that if I kill both of you by mistake, you should not resent me! After speaking, he glanced at the big tiger and the little tiger.
Seeing Xu Yang winking at him, the big tiger and the little tiger immediately understood, stepped forward and grabbed the two of them and pulled them to the center of the lobby, and then one of them pressed and the other locked on the ground. Xu Yang came to the side of the two, snatched a stick from the hand of the official, and said, "Let me ask you one last question: Do you say it or not? If you don't say it again, my board will fall." With that, he hoisted the two sticks.
When the two masters were dragged to the lobby by the big tiger and the little tiger, they left a bloody path on the ground, and when they saw that it was Xu Yang who was automatically punished, they were suddenly so frightened that their faces were as white as paper, and they saw many mudworms staring at them, and they stopped talking.
Xu Yang saw that the two of them wanted to speak, but he was afraid of many mudworms, it seemed that he had to kill the chickens and monkeys today, otherwise the two of them would not speak. Xu Yang saw the two of them close their eyes, snorted coldly, and suddenly the stick in his hand smashed heavily on the buttocks of a master, and with a "snap", the skin and flesh were cracked, the tendons and bones were broken, and the blood was splashed. The master screamed, and suddenly his voice stopped abruptly, not knowing life or death.
The officials standing next to him saw that Xu Yang beat the master half to death in just one fell swoop, and they also understood that when they did it just now, the other party also knew clearly in their hearts that they had not used all their strength. Suddenly, these officials trembled one by one, and they could only watch the master being beaten to death by the other party. Xu Yang knew that although he was heavy, he would not kill him at once, but it was just that he caused the other party to fall into a coma for a short time just now. Xu Yang knew that he would hit the other party again, but he was afraid that the other party was really going to die.
Xu Yang came to the other master with a stick, and he didn't ask, and was about to swing the stick to hit the opponent's buttocks, when he saw the other party hurriedly stopped: "Don't fight, don't fight." I say, I say. Ma Zichen's lady was defiled by mudworms, and the other party came to the county office, bribed the county order and us with silver, and falsely accused Ma Zichen of killing the other party's lady. We beat Ma Zichen unconscious with torture, and then pressed the other party's fingers and put a handprint on the case. The whole process was planned by Duo Mudworm alone, and we only had to do this because we received the money! The other party also threatened us that if we told the truth, we would let our whole family die. ”
Xu Yang was overjoyed when he saw that the other party had confessed, and said with a smile: "If you confess earlier, you won't have to suffer from flesh and skin." After speaking, he nodded to Ma Zichen, and then suddenly found that the multi-mudworm was no longer in front of him, and when he looked for it, he saw that the multi-mudworm had run to the door, shouting for help, and pulling the iron chain net that filled the room.
Xu Yang saw that the other party wanted to ask for help from the officials outside, and sneered: "It's really a cocoon! After saying that, the big tiger and the little tiger pounced on the mudworm. The rest of the officials saw that the master had already explained, and if they didn't behave better, they were afraid that they would not have any good fruits, so they immediately rushed towards the mudworm with sticks.
Seeing that the master had betrayed him, the mudworm suddenly slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet, but he forgot that the entire hall had been covered with iron chains and made it impregnable, and then he saw the big tiger and the little tiger and the officials rushing towards him. Duo Mudworm struggled to break free and resist, but he was alone, no more than seven or eight people, and it didn't take long for the big tiger and the little tiger and the officials to tie up with their official uniforms and escort them to Xu Yang.
