Chapter 60: Murder
Wang Zhen was surprised: "One night?" ”
Qingxu said: "Yes! It's already dawn, and I just wanted to come and wake you up, when I heard your voice. ”
Wang Zhen lay on the ground and said with a distorted expression: "No wonder my legs are sore, numb, and painful. I didn't feel anything at all, but I woke up from a dream! ”
Qingxu said: "That means that my brother has been in a state of concentration just now." ”
The king asked, "I see!" Big brother, let's not talk about this, what time is it? I still have to go to work! ”
Qingxu said: "It's not early, hurry up and wash up!" Your sister-in-law has already made breakfast. ”
Zhang's manor was outside the city, quite far away from Jianwei Mansion, and Wang Zhen hurried back to Jianwei Mansion. Fortunately, the official uniform was placed in Jianwei Mansion yesterday and was able to be changed in time. As soon as he changed his clothes, the official on duty came to invite the king.
Wang asked, "Has Lord Liu encountered another headache case?" ”
Yacha said: "Lord Hui, there are indeed two complaints, but Lord Liu has not yet tried it." Lord Liu has instructed that in the future, whenever there is a case, he will ask Fu Peng to try it together. ”
Wang Zhen understood and followed the yacha to the court. A sitting case has been set up for Wang Zhen in the court, and Liu Yi has not yet arrived. Under the court knelt two men, an old man and a young man, the old man in his sixties was crying very sadly, and he was clutching the young man's clothes; The young twenty-something, quite handsome, and his face also had a sad look. After Wang Zhen sat down, Liu Yi also transferred out of the inner hall.
After the yacha shouted to open the hall, Liu Yan asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" What grievances do you have to file? ”
The old man cried bitterly: "My lord, you have been wronged! My daughter died so badly! Please make the decision for me! ”
Liu Yi said: "Old man, don't be too sad, and tell the grievances in detail to the government, and the government will make decisions for you." ”
The old man wiped his tears, pointed angrily at the young man next to him, and said, "It's him!" This beast killed my daughter this morning. ”
The young man hurriedly explained, "No! My lord! I don't! ”
Liu Yi was shocked and said, "Come one by one!" Old man, are you saying that there was a murder this morning, and the deceased was your daughter? ”
The old man cried, "Exactly! My lord! Please, avenge my daughter! ”
Liu Yi said: "Have you reported to the official to ask the military officials to go over to investigate the scene?" ”
The old man said: "My lord, the corpse is still parked at home, and the villain is afraid that this animal will run away, so he pulled him here as soon as possible." ”
Liu Yi summoned the head of the Qin team and ordered him to immediately take him to the address of the old man to investigate and conduct an autopsy.
After the leader of the Qin class took the order, Liu Yi asked the old man: "Old man, why are you sure that this young man killed your daughter?" ”
The old man said: "Back to the adult, the small people's surname is Guo, the single name is a northern character, and the family background is quite solid." Xiaomin lost his wife at an early age and only had one daughter under his knees. Three years ago, her daughter married Hao Dafu, and it was him! ”
The old man pointed to the young man next to him with his left hand, and with his right hand, he was still dragging the young man's clothes, and continued: "This animal is idle and does not do his job, and their family has always relied on me to help them live. A year ago, my daughter had a strange illness and was paralyzed in the lower half of her body and needed to be cared for, but this animal ignored my daughter. In desperation, I had to run back and forth between the two ends of the house every day to take care of my daughter. Today I have some accounts due and need to collect them. I went out on the hour, and I only went for about an hour, and when I came back, my daughter ...... Daughter has ......"
The old man couldn't stop crying when he said this, and he couldn't bear to continue.
Liu Yi said: "Even if Hao Dafu ignores your daughter, it can't prove that he killed your daughter!" ”
Guo Bei pointed at Hao Dafu and said sadly: "My lord, my daughter was smashed to death by this animal with a hammer!" Because, two days ago, my daughter just asked me for a hundred taels to do some small business for this animal. Now, my daughter is dead, and the hundred taels are gone. Please make the decision for me! ”
Liu Yi turned to Hao Dafu and asked, "Hao Dafu, what do you have to say about Guo Bei's accusations?" Did you kill his daughter? ”
Hao Dafu said sadly: "No, my lord! How could I be so cruel as to kill my own wife! It was my father-in-law who had always been prejudiced against me, so he accused me like this. I admit that I didn't do my job for a long time, and I often needed help from my father-in-law. However, I have now started a small business, selling rock sugar gourds in Nanshi every day. And my wife and I are as affectionate as ever, not as ignorant as my father-in-law said. The most important thing is that I don't know anything about a hundred taels at all. ”
Guo Bei said angrily: "You are lying! You have been kind to my daughter lately, just to get my daughter to ask me for money, and as soon as I gave her the money, she was smashed in the head with a hammer. The means are so cruel, who else would there be if it wasn't you, the beast? ”
Hao Dafu hurriedly explained: "My lord, it's the family that has recruited thieves. When my father-in-law dragged me home from Nanshi, my wife had fallen in a pool of blood, and the house was turned over and overturned, and it was a mess. ”
Guo Bei said angrily: "My lord, don't believe his nonsense!" I've only been out for an hour, so how can I just be a thief! Moreover, before I went to collect the bills, I clearly told him to take care of my daughter. ”
Liu Yi asked: "Hao Dafu, since Guo Bei asked you to take care of his daughter, why didn't you take care of his daughter at home, but went to Nanshi instead?" ”
Hao Dafu said: "My lady usually needs to take a nap for an hour after drinking medicine, and I saw that the lady was already asleep and went to Nanshi to sell rock sugar gourds." ”
Guo Beida said in a loud voice: "My lord, he only went to Nanshi after killing my daughter!" ”
Hao Dafu said: "My lord, I can swear to God, before I go out, my wife is still alive and well!" ”
Liu Yi said: "Hao Dafu, when did you go out?" ”
Hao Dafu said: "My lord, as soon as my father-in-law left, I followed him out." ”
Liu Yi asked, "Can someone help you prove it?" ”
Hao Dafu said: "Sister Lin, a neighbor, can testify that she was washing clothes at the door at the time. I greeted her, and she made small talk to me. ”
Liu Yi asked: "Guo Bei, did you see someone washing clothes next door when you left?" ”
Guo Bei said truthfully: "My lord, when I left my daughter's house, I did see Lin Cui next door washing clothes at the door. ”
Liu Yi ordered the yamen on duty to send Lin Cui to the yamen.
Liu Yi asked: "Hao Dafu, you kept saying that you went to Nanshi to sell rock sugar gourds in the morning." Can anyone prove the time you arrived in Nanshi? ”
Hao Dafu said: "No! But my lord, I've been standing in front of the corona at the entrance of Nanshi, and there should be a lot of people seeing me. ”
Liu Yi said: "Why don't you enter Nanshi, but keep standing in front of the corona?" ”
Hao Dafu said: "My lady usually only takes a nap for an hour after drinking medicine, and I go back to take care of my wife in front of the corona in order to see the good time." ”
