When Jin Shan heard this, he immediately understood that this woman was a slut, and she looked at the pot with a bowl, for fear of suffering.

"Then tell me the truth, did there be any other men who had dealings with you later?" Jin Shan asked.

"The lives of the women are really miserable. Born to need, especially need to be accompanied, and if there is no one to accompany you, it quickly collapses. I have a good relationship with the big cat, and then he got married and didn't get along, so I lived with Nie Chu. Nie Chu was really unreliable, so he mingled with the big cat. The big cat and Nie Chu were not there, and there were other men, like stealing cats, who knew where there were fish and were waiting for them early. The matchmaker said.

"And how many do you have?"

"Not much, not more, just four."

"Which four?"

"Big cat, Nie Chu, and Zhang San and Li Si, a total of four."

"When your husband was still around, was there one?"

"Well, there is, my husband is going to war, I, the adult, knows, I can't do without the company of people, otherwise, the women will have trouble sleeping and eating, and they will go crazy." The matchmaker said.

"Oh, I see!"

"However, master, the folk woman is really helpless, the folk woman has the best relationship with Nie Chu, if you want to choose, you still choose Nie Chu, although he eats soft rice, but he is smart, and the folk woman thinks that he will definitely have a future. The big cat is old and useless, Zhang San and Li Si are just a dewy couple, not reliable at all, they are just two wild cats, stealing fish, stealing food when they are greedy, and running away without a trace after eating, the most reliable is Nie Chu. The matchmaker said.

"Have you seen Zhang San and Li Si recently?"

"Nope."

"So, who have you met lately?" Jin Shan asked

"I've seen big cats." The matchmaker said.

"What is he doing here?" Jin Shan asked.

"Not like that! He has a bad relationship with his wife, getting colder and colder, a small quarrel for three days, a big quarrel for five days, and a quarrel will come to the people's women, and it happens that the dead ghost Nie Chu of the people's women is also there, as if it has been arranged, if you want to come, or you don't come, let the women stay alone in the empty room, only to play cards to pass the time. The matchmaker said.

As soon as Jin Shan heard this, he guessed that the big cat must be at the matchmaker's house, looking for an opportunity to fool around with the matchmaker. Because the big cat knows that as long as Nie Chu is not there, it is the world of the big cat. He was just waiting for his chance to come. Always ready to replace Nie Chu and let the matchmaker not keep the empty room.

It doesn't matter if the matchmaker is a matchmaker, one person or multiple people, it's the same thing.

"What topics have you talked about with Nie Chu recently?" Jin Shan asked.

"It's about introducing Ma Lanhua to the topic of Xiucai Sun Shanqian."

"So, what is Nie Chu's reaction?" Jin Shan asked.

"No response. However, this guy was so bold that he went to Ma Lanhua on his back to have fun, fortunately Ma Lanhua was not like the water-based poplar flower of the people's woman, Ma Lanhua resisted desperately and kicked with her feet, but fortunately, Nie Chu dodged quickly, and instead of kicking, he kicked an embroidered shoe. The matchmaker said, her eyebrows fluttering.

"Embroidered shoes?"

"Yes, embroidered shoes, Ma Lanhua's. She kicked and flew away, laughing at the people's women! I didn't expect Ma Lanhua to be good to Xiucai wholeheartedly, Xiucai is blessed, when she meets such a strong and loving daughter-in-law, if the woman is a man, she will definitely marry her! It's a pity that it's not that blessed. The matchmaker said.

"And then?"

"Later, fortunately, it was the horse and cow doctor who rushed back, and Nie Chu slipped away when he heard the sound of a carriage parking." The matchmaker said.

"What about the embroidered shoe?" Jin Shan asked.

"That's what women want to know. As soon as the woman waited for Nie Chu to come back, she asked him, as long as he did something bad, the sixth sense of the woman would immediately know, and after one or two rounds of asking, he would confess completely. admits that he has a non-dividing idea and wants to take advantage, but who knows that he didn't take advantage of it, and he made a commotion. The matchmaker said.

"This official is concerned about embroidered shoes, which is the key physical evidence in this case, and it would be best if it could be found." Jin Shan said.

"The woman doesn't know what physical evidence is, she only knows that the thing is returned to its original owner, since she has taken Ma Lanhua's shoes, she must return them to her, so that one shoe will not be lonely without a companion?" The matchmaker said.

"This official knows, you go down first! Come on, go, catch the big cat. Jin Shan said.

"Oh no, come back!" Jin Shan commanded again.

Startled by the matchmaker, Jin Shan waved his hand and said, "You go down to rest, the official is to let the catcher come back quickly." ”

The matchmaker bowed and left.

"Hurry up, go and arrest Lao Mao, Zhang San and Li Si, and arrest them together for interrogation." Jin Shan commanded.

Catch quickly responded in unison, immediately swept the clouds, ran to the county office, and soon, the three people were arrested, and as soon as they arrived at the county office, the three began to sift the chaff, shaking non-stop.

Jin Shan asked: "Report your name!" ”

"The villain's name is Old Cat."

"The villain's name is Zhang San."

"The villain's name is Li Si."

"Listen to your names, it's not serious. Say, do you confess truthfully or do you want to confess until you are tortured? Jin Shan asked, he pointed to the various torture instruments on the wall and at the foot of the wall, these things are monsters that eat people and do not spit out bones, black, eerie and terrifying, making people feel creepy at a glance, and dare not stare at it.

"Old cat, don't you have a serious name?"

"Tell the master, there are three sisters and four brothers on the little one, but unfortunately none of them survived, they all died young, the little parents gave birth to the little one, and they were afraid of dying, so they didn't dare to give the name of the child, so they called the old cat, because folklore says that cats have nine lives, and the small one is called the old cat, doesn't this mean that the small one can survive?" The old cat said.

"Oh, that sounds reasonable! And what about you, Zhang San? Tell me where your name came from. Jin Shan asked.

"Master, don't hide it from the master, the youngest one is the third in the family, and there is a brother and a sister above, all surnamed Zhang, so it is called Zhang San, and this name is easy to remember." Zhang San replied.

"Li Si, what about you?" Jin Shan asked, "Could it be that you are the fourth oldest in the family?" ”

"Master Qiyu, the little one is an only son at home, no brothers and sisters, his parents named him Li Si, they hope that the Li family will be prosperous, and they call Li Si to the outside world, it seems that there are many Li families, and when you look at the name of the child, it is easy to think that there are brothers and sisters above, and there are younger brothers and sisters below. Actually, no, it's self-soothing, sounding comfortable, getting a kind of vanity satisfaction. Li Siyan said.

"Oh, you're so interesting, no, your father is so interesting, he can come up with names, and good names will bring good luck. Tom! Jin Shan said.

"Little one, I heard that you fell in love with the matchmaker under the big locust tree, is there such a thing?" Jin Shan asked.

"Master Qiqi, I'm afraid it's a false rumor, the little one was born not interested in women, this matchmaker is a half-old, the charm has long since ceased to exist, how can the little one go to associate with her? It's just that maybe I forgot a little, I don't know if I confessed to her. However, after getting drunk, he fell unconscious, and woke up to find that there were some at the matchmaker's house. I don't know how to get to her house. Zhang Sanyan said.

"Pretend to be confused! Keep loading! Li Si, what about you? How to get there? Drunk too? Jin Shan asked.

"Master Qiyu, the little one is not as good as Brother Zhang, he is carefree, he eats, drinks and prostitutes, the family has money, and if the small one doesn't do it for a day, he will starve that day. How can there be time to worry about widows? Li Siyan said.

"That's right. Tell me, have you seen matchmakers have a close relationship with anyone? Jin Shan asked.

"The little ones don't dare to say it." Li Si said timidly in a low voice, glancing at the old cat.

"Are you afraid of old cats? Don't be afraid, the official will support you, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Jin Shan said.

"Okay, the little one sees that the old cat often interacts with the matchmaker." Li Siyan said.

"Shit! That was before, and now they have their own families, and they don't come and go, and they still mention the past, what is their intention? The old cat shouted.

"Bold old cat, if you interject again, you will sew your mouth with a needle and thread." Jin Shan said, his face was colored, which made people shudder.

When the old cat saw it, he immediately understood in his heart that he had met a ruthless person. It's just that I blame myself for carrying the idea, but I unfortunately met a wicked person. He was originally a wicked person, but he didn't expect to meet even worse people.

He drooped his head and said nothing.

Jin Shan wanted to determine whether it was true, so he asked Zhang San, but before he could speak, Zhang San understood, and immediately said: "Adults, villains often see the old cat going to the matchmaker's house, not only before marriage, but also after marriage." ”

"Okay, the official knows, old cat, do you say it yourself, or let the torture instrument help you say it? Have you seen the torture instruments on the walls and at the foot of the walls? Do you have any interest in trying it all, you can't die in the future, you can still show off to the outside world, what do you think? Jin Shan said.

"Master, the little one doesn't want to taste any torture tools, but the little one is really wronged. The little one didn't expect it to be like this, it was a complete accident, an accident, an accident. The old cat said. I squeezed out a few tears.

"The official is not deaf, not deaf, you said an accident, the official heard it, and said it several times, whether it was an accident or not, it was not you who had the final say, it was the government that had the final say. All you have to do is state the facts. Jin Shan said.

"Master, the little one is indeed wronged. There is no killing at all, the little one has never killed anyone, and he is even afraid of killing chickens, let alone killing people? The old cat said.

"You don't have to quibble. The official has his own way to make you confess truthfully. Jin Shan said, "Come and bring the suspect to the City God Temple for trial." ”

Jin Shan thought to himself, a change of environment might make him speak. So it was arranged, and so and so on.

When they arrived at the City God Temple, the officials stood on both sides. The three suspects were brought to the statue and all knelt down.

Jin Shan said: "There must be murderers among you. People don't know, God knows, the gods in front of you will find the murderer. ”

The three of them looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the county master would have to rely on the power of the gods to capture the real murderer.

"This official asks one last time, which of you killed someone?"

"None of them were killed." The three of them said in unison.

"Okay, since they are all innocent, let the gods solve this case!" Jin Shan said, "Let's start!" ”

After Jin Shan announced the start, all the officials rushed up and tied the three of them like tying up zongzi, and the three of them were bound and could not breathe freely. Then strip them of their clothes and tie their long hair with twine. Then dragged guillotines, leather whips, large boards, and so on.

As soon as the three of them saw that it was true, they were so frightened that their bones were soft, and they hurriedly begged for mercy. The mouths are shouting that they have been wronged.

Jin Shan saw that he was tired of shouting, and he was almost done, so he ordered: "They are all brothers, why are they so strict?" If you don't want to say it yourself, the official still asks the gods to help, that is, let the gods judge and see who it is. ”

"Come and close the carpets and bedding, and the doors and windows of the temple so that no light is revealed." Jin Shan commanded.

The officials immediately complied, and it was done quickly, and the candles and torches were lit, and the temple was lit with a crackling sound and the light of the fire.

They were driven into a dark place, and an order was given to them to wash one by one in a basin.

Jin Shan said: "If you don't recruit, the official has his own way." At night, there are immortals who ask for dreams to the official, and the gods instruct the secrets of handling the case, whether you lie or not, it has no impact on this case. Whether you say it or not, it's up to you to decide. If you say it yourself, you will be treated leniently, and if you say it after being instructed by the gods, you will be guilty of one more degree. Do you know? ”

"Clear." The three of them said in unison.

"Have you all washed it?"

"Washed."

"Standing in front of the wall, standing facing the wall, this is called thinking about the wall. Then, whoever is the real murderer, there will be a god writing on his back, and who is the real murderer, you will know in a while. Jin Shan said.

After all this, Jin Shan asked the officials to extinguish the torches and candles, open the bedding and felt blankets, and the light shone into the City God Temple, which was very bright, and could be seen everywhere and clearly.

Jin Shan ordered the servants to come and inspect the bodies of the three people, and looked at them one by one, and then, Jin Shan pointed to the big cat and said: "There are ashes on your back, and there are traces of soot, you are the real murderer!" Come on, tie up! ”

The big cat was puzzled and asked, "How can the master judge like this?" How can you think that the small one is the real murderer? ”

"Bold Diao Min, you killed someone, and you still used strong words! This official will let you understand. This official already knows that you are the murderer, but he just wants to confirm it and judge the case with the help of the gods. The official first smeared the ashes on the walls of the City God's Temple, and then washed his hands with soot water, the real murderer must be a thief, afraid that the gods would write on his body, so he would stick his back against the wall, and when he left the temple, he used his hands to protect his back tightly, so there were both ashes and soot traces on his back. Jin Shan said.

"Yes, sir, the little one also drank wine that day, and quarreled with his wife for a few words, and he was upset, because his wife said that it was not good, and the little one was not convinced, so he wanted to find a matchmaker and ask if it was okay. Who knows how many times I came, but it was unfortunate that the matchmaker and Nie Chuwei were mixed together, and the little one had no chance. This time I was really desperate, I didn't want to be looked down upon by my wife, I thought about how to get confirmed, so I squatted under the window of the matchmaker's bedroom, I didn't expect to find an embroidered shoe, I don't know whose it was, the villain thought that it must be a lady's, so I hid it first. Unexpectedly, I heard the conversation between Nie Chu and the matchmaker, and figured out the origin of this pair of embroidered shoes, so I wanted to commit a crime, because my wife said that the small one was not good, and the small one wanted to prove it to her. No, I got the embroidered shoes, and the small one dared to go, wanting to take advantage of Ma Lanhua in the name of returning the embroidered shoes. The old cat said.

"Speak!"

Later, the little one touched Ma Lanhua's room, who knew that it was dark, and he actually touched the wrong room, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and when he arrived at the benefit room, he saw that there were people there, so he stepped forward. Before he could get close, he heard an angry roar. The old cat said.
