Chapter 33: The Unlucky Concubine
Wen Si was tortured and interrogated, all of which were bluffs, and Bu Huishu deliberately made a big move, but he was actually very gentle with Wen Si.
At that time, the interrogation officially began.
Bu Huishu deliberately let the interrogators shout, and then let Wen Si deliberately scream, listening from the outside, it was indeed a tortured interrogation.
At the same time, Bu Huishu explained to the people who were in ambush outside, and took immediate action with the name of smashing the cup.
The lanterns in the corridor of Xiaoyao Lou are hung high, adding a lot of lanterns, which are brighter than usual, but there are fewer lights in the interrogation room, so that if there are moving objects outside, you can see clearly inside the room, and you can see clearly from the outside, but you can see clearly from the outside.
Bu Huishu saw two figures slowly approaching, so he picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground.
"Bang-"
There was a crisp sound, and someone outside shouted: "Stop, stop, or release the arrow!" β
The people who were in ambush outside rushed up, surrounded the two black shadows, overturned them to the ground, tied a zongzi with a rope, sturdy it, and pushed it in.
"Report to your lordship, the suspect has been apprehended."
"Okay, hard work, stand aside for now." Bu Huishu said.
The two of them were tied strongly, their legs trembled, they couldn't hold on, they knelt down with a "poof", and their bodies trembled like chaff, and they didn't stop for a moment. Wen Si, who was kneeling next to him, felt strange. The two of them peeked at Wen Si and felt strange, Wen Si's body was intact, there was no blood, and there was no pain. It's like playing. It looks very relaxing.
"My lord, spare my life, spare my life, we passed by this place, and there was no malice." One of them said, looking more cunning.
"Bold, this imperial history hasn't asked you yet, what did you say? What's the hurry? Say, "Who are you waiting for?" What are you sneaking around here for? Bu Huishu asked.
"I am Mr. Bookkeeper of Xiaoyao Building, and my name is Zhang Qing. In charge of the accounts of Xiaoyao Building. This person is a gangster outside, his name is Cai Hua. Zhang Qingyan said.
"I already knew that your name was Zhang Qing and his name was Cai Hua, just waiting for you to come to the net." Bu Huishu said.
When Zhang Qing heard this, he was taken aback.
I thought, this man is a god, not a man! How do you know the name? How do you know it's coming?
"Cai Hua!" Bu Huishu asked.
"The villain is here."
"Tell me, how did you get here? I've known for a long time that you can speak up for yourself and avoid the pain of hitting the board. Bu Huishu said.
"The villain's name is Cai Hua."
"This official knows, to the point."
"The villain lived on this street, opened a pharmacy, and was familiar with Zhang Qing. Because Zhang Qing often introduced the guests to the villain's pharmacy to grab medicine, the villain thanked Zhang Qing and often came and went, and became familiar with it after coming and going. The villain also often sends medicine to Zhang Qing, and Zhang Qing then gives the medicine to the guests. I accidentally fell in love with the proprietress of Xiaoyao Building. Cai Hua said.
"And then?"
"The proprietress looks beautiful and beautiful, very good-looking, the villain can't stop, so she often borrows the name of sending medicine to meet the proprietress in private, but I didn't expect the proprietress to appreciate the villain very much, the two hit it off, and it didn't take long for them to fool around together." Cai Hua said.
"You know the word fooling around, too?" Bu Huishu said.
"The villain regrets it now."
"What's the use of regret? Say, you fooled around with the proprietress, how did you get into trouble with Xiaohong later? Bu Huishu asked.
"Who's Red?"
"Load, keep loading! Who is Xiaohong, you don't know? Bu Huishu said.
"Little Red is the dead." Zhang Qing interjected.
"I didn't let you say it, so don't interject, this time it's right, don't say it next time, do you hear?" Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, my lord, I won't talk about the villain next time." Zhang Qingyan said.
"Cai Hua, tell me, Zhang Qing has already told you just now that Xiaohong is the woman who was killed by you. Say, "How did you kill her?" Bu Huishu asked.
"Oh, I remember, the villain one day, fooling around with the proprietress, was in the joy of fish and water, and when it was difficult to give up, a woman broke in and saw the villain and the proprietress reluctantly. The villain got dressed and fled. After a long time, I didn't dare to come to Xiaoyao Tower again. Sending medicine is also sending guys. The villain was honestly afraid for a while. Because the husband of the proprietress is a bully, the villain is a good citizen, and he provokes people who should not be messed with, and it is a trivial matter that the villain's business cannot be done, and it is very likely that the head will move. Because the boss is very cruel and ferocious, the villain is not his opponent, the villain cuckolds him, this is a great shame, if it is passed out, the villain doesn't know how to die. Cai Hua said.
"If you dare to do it, why don't you dare to take responsibility? You know that her husband is vicious, why did he break ground on Tai Sui's head? Still going to touch the tiger's butt? Aren't you looking for death? Bu Huishu said.
"The villain is timid, the hostess is bold. She asked the guy to bring a message to the villain, and asked the villain to go to the temple to burn incense. Cai Hua said.
"Have you gone?"
"Go, she bought off the abbot, arranged a clean room, and met the villain. After the villain went, she said that if she wanted to date in the future, she had to let the insider disappear forever, and there were no witnesses, and she could still come and go, if the witnesses were not removed,
You and I will not be able to live in peace, and our lives will be in danger. Cai Hua said.
"So, what did you think after she said that?" Bu Huishu asked.
"Of course the villain is afraid, he usually doesn't dare to kill chickens, let alone a big living person?" Cai Hua said.
"Don't you dare to kill chickens? How dare you harm people's lives? Bu Huishu asked.
"It's all at the behest of the proprietress at the behest of the proprietress Cai Hua said.
"Joke! The proprietress told you to eat, do you eat it too? β
"This won't."
"That's it, don't you have a brain? Don't dare to kill chickens, who believes it? Don't say anything, you tell you what happened that day. Bu Huishu said.
That night, the villain went to Xiaoyao Building, and when he was in the child, it was this time, the proprietress did not lock the door that night, after the villain came in, he touched the room where Xiaohong lived, stabbed Xiaohong in the chest with a sharp knife, and blood was splashed, the villain threw the knife into the river, and after returning home, he always felt that there was a ghost in the house, and he stayed awake all night. It's like Xiaohong's soul came to settle accounts with the villain, and it was like this for days and nights, obviously emaciated. These days, it has been unsatisfactory. Every day I am scared. Cai Hua said.
"Very well, do you remember where the knife was thrown?" Bu Huishu asked.
"Yes."
"Okay, sign the confession document, and after dawn, take someone to salvage." Bu Huishu commanded.
Vance was acquitted.
Cai Hua was put on death row, and in addition, Cai Hua was ordered to compensate Wen Si and Xiaohong's elderly parents with 400 taels of silver, so that the proprietress could bear joint liability for compensation. Although the proprietress did not directly participate in the crime, the proprietress prepared favorable conditions for Cai Hua to commit the crime, if the door was locked, it would not be easy for Cai Hua to come in, the proprietress did not lock the door, deliberately let Cai Hua in, and had a motive to commit the crime, even if she did not participate in the implementation, she belonged to the person who assisted Cai Hua, although she did not bear criminal responsibility, she must at least bear the liability for compensation.
Not long after, the boss of Xiaoyaolou found a reason to divorce his wife, divorced the proprietress and married another concubine. The former concubine straightened up and became a wife.
Cai Hua was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and Ling Chi was executed.
The Yicheng County Order was very strange, and when he sent Bu Huishu back to the capital, he asked: "My lord, there are many suspicious points in this case, and I don't know the essentials, why did the adults crack it as soon as they came?" β
"This is providence!" Bu Huishu said.
"So, may I ask your lordship, why do you want to interrogate Wen Si with all the fanfare that everyone in the city knows about it at the time and place?" The prefectural order asked.
"This is called luring the snake out of the hole, or diverting the tiger from the mountain." Bu Huishu said.
"Then, during the interrogation, why did you arrange for someone to ambush in the Xiaoyao Tower?" The prefectural order asked.
"It's called waiting for the net, waiting for the rabbit, and it doesn't have a close relationship with this case, so that people won't come to inquire about the news when they are asleep. The person who came must have something to do with this case, even if he is not the main offender, he is also an accomplice, or an accomplice to coercion, in short, it must have something to do with this case. Even if the principal offender cannot be caught, as long as the accomplice is caught or coerced, the principal offender will not be able to escape. Bu Huishu said.
Yicheng County Ling nodded yes, and secretly admired Bu Huishu, this supervising imperial history is really genuine.
Back in the capital, Bu Huishu told Yin Jian about the handling of the case, Yin Jian was very happy, and immediately reported to the emperor, the emperor was very happy, and gave Bu Huishu a lot of rewards, and Bu Huishu donated all of them. The emperor was even happier, and felt that Bu Huishu was not greedy for money, he was really a good person.
Just two days later, the Xiangyang Baokang County Commander submitted a request for help, saying that there was a headless case that could not be solved, and the local government could not do anything about it.
Bu Huishu was editing the history book, and he couldn't get out, so he asked Yinhu to go to the case.
Silver Tiger felt weak and invited the golden dragon to go with him.
In order to get a name, it is conducive to handling cases. Yin Jian applied for the positions of the two directors and asked the two to go to Baokang County.
The surname of Baokang County is positive. I was overjoyed to see the two of them, and I wanted to wash the dust for the two of them. The two declined and said, "Let's handle the case directly!" β
Baokang County is a poor county, and after hearing that the two of them are so sensible, Xiang Zheng is not reluctant. The facts of the case are briefly stated.
There is a village called Niupo Village.
There was a young man in the village named Niu Dayuan.
Niu Dayuan has a fiancΓ©e named Ma Yingxiu.
Both of them have been good since they were children, and they belong to childhood sweethearts.
The eldest son should get married, and the eldest daughter should get married, and both of them have reached the age of talking about marriage.
Niu Dayuan is honest and strong, is a good laborer, as strong as a cow, and is deeply liked by people.
The people on the other side of the mountain came to propose, but Niu Dayuan was gone, and he ran far away, and he couldn't find it again.
Every time he proposed, Niu Dayuan was unwilling.
Later, when I heard that someone mentioned Ma Yingxiu, I immediately agreed.
Ma Yingxiu, like her, also avoided someone coming to the door to propose marriage, the two discussed well, Ma Yingxiu is not Niu Dayuan will not marry, Niu Dayuan will not marry Ma Yingxiu, the two have already made a vow.
Later, after the matchmaker's matchmaking, the two set a date for marriage. The matchmaker also got the money and left happily.
Later, one morning, before dawn, Niu Dayuan went to the market, because there was a market in the mountains, and he needed to purchase things for marriage.
Niu Dayuan's parents were old and couldn't go far, so they let Niu Dayuan do it for him. Of course, Niu Dayuan is very willing, do his own thing, there is no need to say more.
After Niu Dayuan went out, he never came back.
His parents had an only son, and they had no other children under their knees, so they relied on this son to continue the incense of the Niu family, and this person suddenly disappeared, which made people suspicious.
It turns out that he is not running away from marriage, because he is reluctant to Ma Yingxiu.
Ma Yingxiu's family was also in a hurry, the girl had not yet married, and her uncle was gone, which was a local anecdote and could not be understood.
The woman has to withstand more pressure.
In any case, the man's family couldn't sit still, Niu Dayuan's parents rushed to the county office crookedly, and the drums and the complaint came.
Xiang Zheng dictated the facts of the case.
Jin Long and Yin Hu fell into deep thought, usually followed their master around, and had seen a lot of cases, this case has not been heard of, nor has it been experienced.
Is it really a runaway?
This one maybe.
There are times when you get bored with things after using them for a long time, let alone people? If things don't speak, they will like the new and hate the old, and the same is true for people! This Niu Dayuan may dislike the bride price that the woman wants, or he is very disgusted when he sees Ma Yingxiu's mother. What kind of mother there is, what kind of daughter there is.
Marriage is a lifelong thing, and if you don't do it well, it will affect your lifelong happiness.
In any case, we must live to see people, and die to see corpses.
The two discussed for a while and said, "Xiang Zheng, the news of Niu Dayuan's disappearance should be announced on a county-wide list, so as to attract everyone's attention, and then provide clues." β
Xiang Zheng went to do it, and sure enough, not long after, someone said that he had seen Niu Dayuan in Shiliping.
The people who rushed to the market together saw it, but they didn't see it really enough, and when they got closer, they found that everyone was gone.
Xiang Zheng reflected this information, Yinhu thought to himself, coming out of the house and walking to Shiliping, he should still be able to see people, the sky is just dawn, he can see clearly, and he instructed him to go to the scene to see.
Yinhu said: "Xiangzheng, it's best to go to the scene in Shiliping to look for clues." When people disappear there, they must leave traces there. β
"That's right, let's go." Xiang Zhengyan said.
He arranged everything, and the group rushed to Shiliping.
In Shiliping, I found that there is a weir pond, one side is a mountain, it is relatively steep, and at the end of this mountain, there is a market town, where you can buy things for marriage. It's very convenient.
It is impossible to go to the mountain, and the person disappears in Shiliping, and the biggest possibility is in the weir pond next to it. The living are gone, and the bodies may be found.
Silver Tiger's guess was correct, and with the support of the Golden Dragon, they gave Xiang Zheng a suggestion and began to salvage the corpse.
Xiang Zheng didn't want to do this, he wanted them to report to the top, and this case was not handled, because there were too many cases to be handled, and they couldn't be busy, but this case has been reported to Dali Temple, which shows that the case has typical significance, and if it is done well, it can affect the mood of the local people, so it must be handled well.
Thinking of this, Xiang Zheng accepted the suggestion unconditionally, and began to organize salvage personnel to salvage the corpses in the weir pond. However, Yinhu proposed, Jin Long seconded the proposal, he only had to do it, whether to fish or not is another matter, whether to fish or not is another matter, to see what the attitude is, not to see how the technology is. He knew this very clearly.
