Chapter 176: Yun Xin kills the village woman
"My lord, the poor monk is indeed wronged! Woowoo woo ......"
As soon as Yun Xin heard Tang Lu's words, she was moved to cry, and the grievances she had received these days could be explained to her. Because Tang Lu is not the Gucheng County Commander in front, he is a young and promising person.
"Since I have wronged you, tell me what is going on? Have you offended someone? How did you mess with them? I'll put you on death row! Tang Lu asked.
"My lord, the poor monk should be invited by the abbot of Cheng'en Temple, go to him to visit and talk about the Buddhist scriptures, through Li Zhuang, it is late, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, there are many forks, the road that I remember before has been forgotten, carelessly, fell into a dry well, after arriving at the dry well, the poor monk is still conscious, there are soft things under him, and there are slimy things, a touch, it turned out to be a person, scared the poor monk screamed. The cry alarmed the passers-by, the man saved the poor monk out of the dry well, the poor monk was very afraid, because there were dead bodies in the dry well, the people who rescued the poor monk came out, saw the poor monk nervous, incoherent, looked left and right to look at the poor monk, did not expect him to see the poor monk has blood on his body, check that the poor monk was not injured, he looked into the well, found the body, the man was also worried about getting into a lawsuit, afraid of not being able to tell, so he immediately reported to Baozheng, Baozheng came over, looked at the situation, without saying a word, he sent the poor monk to the county government and put him in a prison cell, In the past, the county order of Gucheng County was a person who was greedy for money, and the family of the deceased used silver to make a county order, so that the county order severely punished the poor monk, and insisted that the poor monk hooked up with the village woman, because the hook did not work, the village woman was killed, thrown into the dry well, ready to escape, but did not expect to fall into the dry well, and the county order saw that the poor monk had no oil and water to fish, so he sentenced the poor monk to death. The poor monk did not admit his guilt, and even shouted that he was wronged, the county order not only did not listen, but served with a big punishment, and if he did not admit it, he would be punished, and the poor monk really couldn't bear it, so he had to be beaten into a trick, and all admitted the crime, and said according to the county order, forcing the poor monk to sign and draw the detention, so he was put on death row, waiting for the autumn to be beheaded and executed. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be torture! Another unjust, false and wrongful case! You have been wronged! This official will definitely find out. It is not appropriate to abuse public power to kill people, let alone kill monks. Tang Lu said.
"Thank you for clearing the grievances of the poor monk, otherwise, the poor monk will die and be misunderstood, and the poor monk is unwilling to go to Elysium like this." Yun Xin said.
"You can rest assured, if what you say is true, you won't die." Tang Lu said.
"That's good, the previous county decree didn't allow the poor monk to plead at all, as long as the poor monk defended himself, he had to beat the poor monk, and the poor monk couldn't bear it, so he had to admit his guilt. Otherwise, the poor monk would definitely not confess his sins. ”
"Okay, take off your shackles, change to a regular cell, and when the case is thoroughly investigated, your freedom will be restored." Tang Lu commanded.
Yun Xin clasped his hands together and thanked him.
Then, Tang Lu arranged for twenty catchers to go to Li Zhuang, before going, all of them made up makeup, not to go as a catcher, so as not to startle the snake, Tang Lu estimated that the murderer should be in Li Zhuang, and now find a scapegoat, that is, the monk Yunxin, let him take the blame, as long as there is no careful inspection, the monk's head will fall to the ground, once it lands, there is no proof of death, it will be completely safe.
Some people are wishful thinking, waiting to see what happens, Tang Lu also knows this, he asks the catcher to do this and this, and there will be a breakthrough. Because of his experience, Tang Lu is quite old and spicy in handling cases, and he has rich work experience, and he has cracked a lot of cases.
The catchers quickly took action, and when they arrived at Li Zhuang, they acted separately.
Lizhuang is located in the southeast of Gucheng, with convenient transportation, Xiangyang in the northwest, facing each other in the distance with Da Xian Mountain, Cheng'en Temple in the southwest, and Gucheng County in the middle.
It is not surprising that Lizhuang is located in a traffic artery, and people come and go, which is very lively. Quickly disguise yourself as a small trader so as not to attract the attention of others.
Catching Kuai happens to be from a merchant family, so he doesn't have to deliberately perform, he lives in a small trader's family, and is influenced by his parents, and his gestures are like businessmen.
People who come and go are not surprised, and the behavior of catching fast is very natural and does not arouse anyone's suspicion.
I am tired of walking, I am tired of watching, there is no progress in the case, and I still need to eat and drink, lest the case is not cleared up, and the person is gone, or the person is injured or sick.
They saw a teahouse on the side of the road.
The two catchers went to drink tea, and the rest looked for clues everywhere, nominally doing business, looking at goods, inspecting the market, in short, there are a lot of famous halls, these catchers are all very good, and they are very good at reasoning, because they are experienced, not ordinary people can catch up.
The person who opened the teahouse is a middle-aged woman who looks more athletic, and does it have the effect of drinking tea often? Generally speaking, there are no benches to sit on in a carpenter's shop, and there is no house for builders to live in.
The middle-aged woman is Dr. Tea.
In the past, women didn't study, but they could do things, they were very smart, and they were very good at housework and business, and they were really good inside and out.
Dr. Tea smiled, when he saw the people who came, they were not people, they were money, as long as they came, they would come with money, and when they saw people, they were equal to seeing money, and the blind man opened his eyes when he saw money, he couldn't do without money, and he could be confident with money.
"You are the God of Wealth! It is our blessing to come to the small teahouse! ”
"It's nothing, we don't give much money for tea, and a small tea money is not enough to worry about." Catch it quickly.
"It's already very face-giving, very uplifting, really! Hey, this salt-boiled peanuts are given away for free! Dr. Tea said.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome! Ask the two guest officers about something, and don't know if it's inconvenient? Dr. Tea asked.
"Convenient, what's the matter?"
"You're from the old estuary, aren't you?"
"Yes! How do you know? ”
"Listening to the accent is the person there."
"Hostess, you can be amazing! Indeed, we are the people of the old estuary. I also often go to Xiangyang. ”
"I see, no wonder you sometimes speak a bit like Xiangyang dialect."
"Yes, I often go out to do business, and I come into contact with a variety of people, and I talk a lot. I understand a lot of dialects, but I don't speak a lot of dialects. "Say it quickly.
"Since you came from the old estuary, you must have passed through Gucheng County, right?"
"That's right, it's through Gucheng County."
"Then I take the liberty to ask, there is a famous case in Gucheng County, I don't know if I know it."
"What case?"
"It's a monk murder case!"
"I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
"Then, how does the Gucheng County Order punish the murderer and the monk?"
"Are you talking about the monk?"
"Yes, it's not who he is, he killed our people in Li Zhuang, and he is not dead yet, it's really annoying. He should have been sentenced to death sooner rather than later. ”
"Don't worry, tell you, you just asked the right person, we just came from Gucheng County, yesterday, just yesterday, that murderer monk was corrected, and yesterday he was beheaded. There were quite a few onlookers. We were almost trampled to death. ”
"Dead?"
"Dead, click, head chopped, that blood, sprayed far away. Someone immediately stepped forward, took a steamed bun and dipped it in blood, I heard that it has a curative effect on tuberculosis, who knows, it is all a false rumor, in short, the person standing in front picked up a big bargain. There are also people who specialize in this business, selling human blood steamed buns and making a lot of money. "Say it quickly.
"I see! It's a pity, it's a pity, the monk doesn't chant the scriptures well, runs to seduce the women of good families, and if he can't hook up, he kills people, and no one can catch up with this monk. Dr. Tea said.
"Yes! It is shameful that everyone should do one line of love and one line, and that monks should purify all sentient beings, pray for the blessings of the people, and also go to harm the women of good families. If we were all like Dr. Tea, this society would be much better. "Say it quickly.
"You guys are not bad, you concentrate on doing business, do what you do, don't be half-hearted. Those who concentrate on doing things will bring a lot of benefits after a long time. Dr. Tea said.
"The Doctor is right! Oh, by the way, what does this monk have to do with you? Why do you care so much about him? Catcher asked.
"Oh, no, no." When Dr. Tea heard this, he was a little surprised and very surprised, but he immediately returned to normal and explained: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay with him, it's just that the one who opened the teahouse, inquired more about some things, and came to different guests, you can have something to say, so as not to make the teahouse lifeless, just to do business, I'm afraid there will be no business, many people who come to the teahouse to drink tea, in fact, are not all tea, more to communicate, understand some information, and then use it as a reference, as a guide to action in the future." When I inquired about these things, I thought the same thing, lest anyone should not know anything about them. ”
"That's good! There are some things that you don't have to know very clearly, just a general understanding. We have seen more when we go south and north, we have lived a long life if we talk less, and we have suffered from the mouth when we talk more. When you meet a white person, you will be a white person, if you meet a foolish person, you will be a fool, and if you meet someone, you will be a person. In this way, if you get the square, you will get the circle, which is the best. We do business with profit first, with the purpose of making money, and we will also consider doing good deeds and helping others to improve, which is also a good thing. "Say it quickly.
Dr. Tea deftly avoided the questioning of the catcher, and then served them another dish, which was also delivered for free. Catch up and be a little skeptical.
Dr. Tea saw an opportunity, left them, and headed for the mountain.
Seeing Dr. Tea leaving, he also followed from a distance, not far away, not close, in terms of tracking people, he practiced this ability. Don't let the person being tracked find out about you, and at the same time bite the person being tracked tightly.
Dr. Tea saw that there was no one behind him, so he came to a courtyard, then pushed away the firewood, entered the courtyard, and quickly climbed into the courtyard from another place, leaned against the wall to the window, squatted down, and listened to the movement inside.
A voice said, "You're here?" Did you hear any news? ”
It's a male voice, listening to the voice, this man is also middle-aged, and he looks relatively athletic.
"I heard." A female voice, as soon as you listen to it, you will understand that this female voice is the voice of Dr. Tea.
"What?"
"The monk is dead."
"How did you die?"
"Sentenced to death, has been executed, beheaded."
"Oh, that's efficient!" The man said, "Where did the news come from?" ”
"It was from a guest from the old estuary."
"When was the execution?"
"Yesterday at three o'clock in the afternoon." Dr. Tea said.
"Are you sure?"
"Pretty sure."
"That's great! Finally got rid of a piece of heart disease, recently I have been sleeping badly for this matter, always having nightmares, this time it's better, I don't have to worry about it anymore, I can live a normal life with peace of mind. The man said.
As soon as the words fell, they only heard a loud sound of "clang-" The two of them were frightened, and some people rushed in from the door and the window together, Dr. Cha's eyes were sharp, and he recognized it at a glance, and his face turned white with fright, knowing that something bad was wrong. But I can't find out this relationship right away.
The man wanted to run, but where was the fast catch? Catch it very skillfully and tie it up, like a zongzi, sturdy and strong, leaving a small piece of rope for traction. Such a big tie so that the caught people have no chance to escape, only willing to be fish and meat, and let others slaughter them.
Dr. Tea was also arrested by the county office, and the man was suspected of committing a major crime.
Tang Lu tried it overnight, and finally found that Dr. Tea was innocent, just making some black money, Dr. Tea was not the main culprit in the homicide case, but after the crime, she was a tool to keep an eye on the guests coming and going from the north and south, and listen to the news they brought from their respective places.
"What's your name?"
"Shasi."
"Why did you arrest you?"
"I don't know."
"I really don't know, or pretend?"
"I don't know."
"How did I catch you?"
"I was sitting at home, talking to Dr. Tea, when so many people suddenly broke in, and they arrested me."
"Did you say anything?"
"I just asked Dr. Tea to inquire about the monk's current situation."
"Why do you want to ask the monk?"
"Because the monk's case is very strange, he actually came out of the dry well, but he can't be identified as the murderer. If it wasn't for the interrogation of the former county order, the monk refused to admit it, so there was nothing he could do. Sooner or later, he will be released. ”
"Why do you care so much about this case?"
"Because in the same village, a big living person died, and the murderer must be brought to justice."
"You're the murderer! Why does a thief shout to catch a thief? Tang Lu said.
"How so?"
"Because the official carefully read the case file, the monk had no motive to commit the crime, and there was no reason to kill people. He just passed by Lizhuang and went to Cheng'en Temple, and he didn't plan to return to the world in Lizhuang. The claim that he hooked up with women is not true. Monk Yunxin also did not have the tools to commit the crime, let alone the process of committing the crime, his confession was because he couldn't stand the torture to extract a confession, and he was forced to admit that he was actually wronged, and if you want to say who is the most suspicious, it should be you, because you are the closest to the deceased's home, and there are many opportunities to commit crimes. Who is most likely to commit a crime? That's you. Shasi, Shasi, you have caused other people's suffering, and you can't prove that Xi Li's death has nothing to do with you, how can you explain it? Master Yun Xin didn't know how to kill people, and he couldn't even tell the knife that killed him, so he insisted that he killed the village woman with a ghost head knife. This is not the case! His confession is also full of loopholes. It can't be justified. Tang Lu said.
