Chapter 13: The Murderer Reveals His True Form

"Xiaomin understands! That's what Xiaomin said at the time. Liang San said.

"Okay, then the official will ask you again, you said that the masked man sneaked up from behind the Huyanshu and caused the death of the Huyanshu knife, right?" Yin Jian asked.

"Yes. That's what it said at the time, because the little people saw it with their own eyes. Liang Sanyan said, his eyes were rolling around, looking left and right, a little panicked, he didn't know what was wrong, he couldn't make sure in his heart, and his body began to tremble.

"Okay, please keep a record of it, can you keep up? If you can't keep up, squeak. Yin Jian said.

"Keep up, sir!" The book said.

"Liang San, this official asked you, you said that the masked man sneaked up from behind Huyanshu, why didn't he poke directly from his back, but from his chest, how can this be explained? Doesn't make sense? Yin Jian asked.

"Master, this little man didn't see clearly!" Liang San quibbled.

As soon as Liang San finished speaking, Yin Jian was furious, isn't this an inconsistency in his mouth? How will this case be heard? At this point, it is no longer possible to leave the punishment untouched. Thinking of this, he looked at Bu Huishu, and the master looked serious, as if he had acquiesced to this decision, so he shouted:

"Bold Diaomin, you want to taste the taste of the big board. Left and right, give him forty big boards and fulfill his wishes! Look at the performance, it is not enough to add another forty, if you are not dead, add another eighty. Yin Jian commanded.

"Might——" shouted the officials in unison, the sound shaking the dust off the beams and dancing up and down in the light of the large torch-like candles.

Liang Sanyi listened, this is real! No kidding!

"Master, don't, don't, don't! I recruit, can't I recruit? Liang Sanyan said, completely convinced.

It turned out that Liang San was a thief, and since he left Hongdong County, Shanxi, he fled to Xiangyang to escape the war. To Xiangyang, it is a good place, but unfortunately he is lazy in his bones, a lazy nerve involves him does not like to endure hardship, does not want to cultivate the fields, but likes to have fun, wants to live a happy life of clothes to reach out for food to open his mouth, and does not like to sweat all day long like livestock and work and can't eat, so the poor think about change, and began to do stealing chickens and dogs to make a living.

The village group thought that he was a bad spirit, so they drove him out, and his reputation was already stinking, and he couldn't stay in any village, only to the city.

There are many people in the city, people come and go, no one knows anyone, and there are many rich people. Some people come from other places to do business, and it doesn't matter if they lose their money, and some are locals, and they are all rich masters. If you can't steal the rich master, you will steal the ordinary, and if you can't steal the ordinary, you will steal the money of the people who go into the city to sell vegetables, firewood, and charcoal, and there will be income every day, as long as you don't get caught, you can live a good life without being beaten.

I was also beaten, but fortunately, after being beaten, I had a good meal, went to the Qinglou, slept well, everything was fine, as long as I had money, I had these services, of course, occasionally I was lonely and lonely, this is also common, think about the sky fellow, and I am not as good as him, I can't eat wine and meat, guarding the martial temple, and spending a long night with the green lantern, this life is really not worth it.

He laughed at the sky and couldn't see through it, and the sky was moist, and he felt pitiful. Liang San is idle every day, waiting for an opportunity to commit crimes, there are always times when he succeeds, and there are times when he misses, he just didn't succeed in those days, and he saw that he was running out of money, so he walked around the street and saw Huyanshu.

Liang San is more familiar with Huyanshu, with a fat head and big ears, thick long eyebrows, a big beard, a fierce look, well-dressed, and silk satin, which is enough to prove that he is different. With Liang San's many years of experience, he knew at a glance that he was really rich, not pretending to be a "big money", so he followed and looked for an opportunity to start. He saw Hu Yanshu's eyes staring at a girl, squinting, leaning sideways, dangling around, thinking about good things.

I didn't think that my waist suddenly felt a lot easier, and when I touched the money bag, I disappeared. These gold and silver can be used for play, and if there is no money, no one will take care of it.

Hu Yanshu looked around and found that there was a strong man in front of him who was leaving quickly, running like a big catfish in the crowd. Hu Yanshu's first feeling when he saw it was that he was a thief, so he shouted: "Stop! Thief! ”

Not only did the big man with the cat's waist not stop, but he ran faster! This confirms the speculation of Huyanshu, who is definitely a thief.

Hu Yanshu is not a vegetarian, and after that, he knows that the money is used to buy Huan, and he is only dumbfounded when he has no money, and he must get it back, and he will get it. So he turned three steps into two steps, and he kept up with all he could.

Seeing that he is about to catch it, the cat-waisted man is very flexible, has a wealth of work experience, but he can't catch it, Hu Yanshu is reluctant to give up, continue to follow, see that there are fewer and fewer people, it is almost dusk, no matter how good Hu Yanshu's physical fitness, it can't compare to the big man's professional escape skills, plus he is a hollow radish, looks strong, in fact, he often fights dogs and bulls in the fireworks Willow Lane tea shop casino bullfights crickets make his body not good, the strong man is hungry every day, hungry and hungry, and his body is still strong, Seeing that the Huyan technique had the upper hand.

Hu Yanshu still didn't give up, followed closely, Liang San saw that there was no one around, and when the opportunity came, he secretly took out a short knife, held it in his hand, and waited for Hu Yanshu to approach before making a move.

Hu Yanshu saw that the strong man was gradually running slowly, thinking that he had no strength, he was overjoyed, and felt that it was still good to persevere to the end, thinking that it was good to have money, and the happiness brought by money, he immediately caught up quickly, and saw that he was about to catch Liang San, but he didn't know that Liang San did it on purpose, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Hu Yanshu came to a hungry tiger to pounce on food, and wanted to catch him in one go.

Liang San felt a wind coming from behind, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found that the comer was rushing towards him, so he didn't hurry, turned around, compared with a short knife, held the handle of the knife in his hand, and pointed the tip of the knife to Huyanshu, Huyanshu saw a cold light flash, and shouted, "Not good!" It was too late, it was fast, and at the same time he pounced on Liang San, Liang San held the knife towards each other, impartially, and the tip of the knife pierced into the heart of Hu Yanshu.

Just listen to "poof-", the short knife from the tip of the knife to the blade, about to the hilt, the flesh engulfed the short knife, the short knife drank blood, blood splashed, Hu Yanshu "Ah-" sound, a stream of blood gushed out, soaked the gorgeous clothes, Hu Yanshu only came out of the air, there was no incoming air, slowly fell down, soon, the blood was drunk by the short knife, and slowly lost the heartbeat.

"This sucks!" Liang San said to himself, he usually steals and never kills, what's wrong?

It's over, it's over, it's over! What to do?

He patted the back of his head and said, "Yes, yes, let the sky do the aftermath." Thinking of this, he was glad that he was smart.

He knew that Yuankong lived in Wumiao, where the place was big and there were many rooms, Liang San had just come from his hometown and had nowhere to live, so he begged his fellow villager Yuankong to take him in, Yuankong refused, he held a grudge, and this opportunity finally came. So he got Hu Yanshu's body to the altar of the statue of General Weiqing of Wumiao.

originally wanted to blame others, made up a story, and asked the county order to arrest Yuankong, and when Yuankong was killed or exiled, isn't this martial temple his own house? When he thought of this, he admired his cleverness!

After he finished all this, he hid in a nearby cave and meditated, thinking that there was still a place that he didn't expect, if he kept hiding, there was no way to prove that Wukong was the murderer, so he thought that he had to let the official catch him, and then confess the fact that Wukong might have committed the crime, so that the county order could be detected in a direction that was unfavorable to Wukong.

Thinking like this, he went to wander around the Wu Temple, deliberately pretending to be sneaky and suspicious, so that the officials could catch him, and then proceed to the next plan.

The next plan, he thought about for a long time, was to make up a story, and use the story to frame Yuankong to achieve his goal.

After listening to Liang San's confession, Yin Jian asked Shuli to write down everything, and then asked Liang San to sign and sign it. Yin Jian took out the red order sign, ordered to hit forty boards, and then put him on death row, waiting to be beheaded.

The case was solved, and everyone was happy. It's just a bit far-fetched, and while the officials are excited, they can't help but have some opinions about Yin Jian, feeling that there is too little evidence, and there should be more witnesses to do it.

It's just that Yin Jian closed the case and didn't need to investigate it again, although everyone was happy, they still had some regrets and questions in their hearts, but it was not easy to express them publicly.

Yin Jian knows very well that the key to this case has been explained to him by Bu Huishu. The murderer is Liang San.

Yin Jian also told the master that Lord Yao conveyed the order from above, that is, all temples in the county area should be changed to worship Guan Gong's god of war, and others were not allowed to be worshipped.

Bu Huishu was very surprised when he heard the news, but he immediately thought that this had to be done. Because the emperor and the Xiongnu have an inexplicable relationship. Because what the emperor wants to do, the officials at all levels must complete it.

Bu Huishu reminded: "Don't talk about the details, don't mention the matter of changing Guan Gong, otherwise, the local people will make trouble." It's a good idea to visit first to get a feel for public opinion. If all or the vast majority of people in the jurisdiction agree to change it, then it will be replaced by Guan Gong, otherwise there will be no need to change it, and when the upper authorities ask about it, they will say that the ideological work of the masses still needs to be done, and many people will not be able to turn this corner. It takes time to do the work slowly, and when the ideological work is done, it can be replaced with a statue of Guan Gong. ”

"Yes, if you don't understand public opinion, it will be difficult to be reckless and lose it. Even the gains outweigh the losses. The master still has to think twice so that he will not make a mistake. Bu Huishu said.

"You understand what you mean, and the next step will be to find out. This case cannot be explained too clearly to the people. Thank you for your advice. General Wei Qing made great contributions to the fight against the Xiongnu, and the Han people were protected from poison, and he should be remembered from generation to generation. Now the Xiongnu no longer invade the border, and make peace with the imperial court, reach an agreement, plus the emperor and the Xiongnu have a blood relationship, this is a later story. Now, Liang San claimed to be Hu Yanshu and went to the Wu Temple to worship General Wei Qing, he must be lying, because Hu Yanshu is a Hun and has a feud with General Wei Qing, and he can't demolish Wei Qing's temple, how can he still kneel in the temple to worship Wei Qing? This obviously doesn't make sense. Therefore, judging from this, the murderer must be Liang San. Seek wealth first, then kill people, and then move the body to the statue of Wei Qing in the Wumiao, so as to frame Yuankong and achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone. Yin Jian said.

"That's right, that's exactly what happened! The worst people are often the ones who seem to be eager and willing to help others, and a little help is understandable, but it is doubtful if they are overly attentive. Like Liang San, he doesn't do his job. I just happened to meet the Huyan Technique, which is a thing and a thing. It's just that you can't say it thoroughly, if you say it thoroughly, the people still think that General Wei Qing will be replaced, and it will be very troublesome if you want to change it while not calling it a change. In order to avoid trouble, it is better not to explain it thoroughly. Yin Jian said.

"The lord is very wise. Today's overnight trial is very accomplished, admire and admire! Bu Huishu said.

"It's done today, and there's still something to do tomorrow. Master go to rest, and tomorrow I will go to the temple in the jurisdiction with the official to have a look. Find out what the people are doing. Yin Jian said.

"Okay, the master rests, and the little one retires." Bu Huishu said, and then left the county government and returned to his house to rest.

Early the next morning, the two dressed up in casual clothes, pretending to be businessmen, and each brought a scholar to serve.

The scholar's dress is also the appearance of a young man, Bu Huishu is equivalent to Mr. Bookkeeper, and Yin Jian is a small boss.

When I went to several villages, they all said that General Wei Qing was a great hero and that the temple could not be replaced by Guan Gong. Guan Gong is the Han Han Han nationality, belongs to the fight between brothers, Wei Qing is the Xiongnu to fight the Han nationality, the Han people rose up to resist, the Xiongnu at that time, do not rely on their own hard work, rely on plundering other people's livelihood, in fact, they are robbers, Wei Qing fights robbers, is to protect the family and defend the country, Guan Gong is a nest fight, the nature is different, most people are opposed, a small number of people have something to do with the Xiongnu, but said that they should be changed, now they are not fighting, the Xiongnu and the Han people live in harmony, never violate each other, to cherish the good days now, if you still worship the statue of General Wei Qing, I'm afraid it will make the Huns feel uncomfortable.

Yin Jian and Bu Huishu both know in their hearts, it seems that people still respect Wei Qing, even if Wei Qing is not noble and is a slave, but Wei Qing has done a good job of protecting his family and defending the country, through Wei Qing, let the frontier be peaceful and peaceful, people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Central Plains is not afraid of the invasion of the Huns.

This is a dilemma, if you don't change Guan Gong, you have to change someone to be the county magistrate. made Yin Jian's head very big.

When there is nothing to be done, there is a teahouse in front, and it is hot, just drinking tea to cool off. In front of the tea shop, there is a towering locust tree, under which there are some tea tables and simple small chairs for guests to rest and drink tea and chat.

"Guest officer, how many are there?" The shopkeeper ran over and asked enthusiastically.

"Two, oh, no, four, four of you, four large bowls of tea, a plate of fennel beans, and a plate of soaked bamboo shoots." Yin Jian said.

"Okay, wait a minute, officer. Go and come. The shopkeeper said and ran to prepare.

People exchanged heads and talked a lot. Yin Jian was puzzled and a little curious, they didn't talk about state affairs, and there was no warning posted in the store, saying "don't talk about state affairs", these people didn't talk about it, maybe they were very satisfied now, and they didn't need to talk about it.

They didn't talk about state affairs and world affairs, so what are they talking about? Yin Jian had a question in his stomach, he didn't know who to ask, and when he looked at the master, he had an idea, and said, "Huishu, you go and see the shopkeeper and ask him to put less chili peppers." By the way, I would like to inquire about the latest news here. ”
