"I understand, that is to say, this case is actually not complicated, it is a complicated human heart, but evil has evil retribution, and this official will definitely handle the case in accordance with the law and severely punish the criminals. Xing Lao has worked hard. Tang Lu said.

"Adult, little old man stands on a fair standpoint, Zhu Anliu has grown up since he was a child, he didn't even dare to kill chickens, and when he saw someone selling fish, as long as it was alive, he bought it and released it. The heart is too kind. As a result, he suffered this catastrophe. Before leaving, the little old man repeatedly told him to be careful, people's hearts are unpredictable, don't be gullible, as a result, his kindness still prevails, and when he encounters people who have no moral bottom line, he can only admit it temporarily. Xing Yuanwai said.

"The young man is kind, it is worth learning, there are traitors rampant in the world, be careful everywhere, if you don't eat a trench, you won't grow wise. Xing Lao had already warned him, and if he didn't pay attention, it wasn't Xing Lao's dereliction of duty, it was his own carelessness. Fortunately, the injury was not very serious. Tang Lu said.

"Little Lao'er is about to ask, what is the situation? How about his injuries? Xing asked outside.

"It's not in the way, but Xing Lao don't say to the outside world that it's not in the way, if you want to solve this case in a fair and just time, you need to use some thoughts, this official must completely solve this problem, solve it well, and the rest of the country can be used as a reference, so that those who want to do evil can stop the precipice and don't kill themselves." Tang Lu said.

"What are you going to do to make this happen?" Xing asked outside.

"Elder Xing just needs to watch the trial in the public court. Don't do much else, rest assured, this official will definitely let the good get the good reward, and the evil get the evil reward, and when the time comes, it will definitely be rewarded. Tang Lu said.

After speaking, Tang Lu sent someone to properly arrange Xing Lao to stay in the pavilion, and sent someone to protect Xing Yuanwai. Avoid someone leaking the news, which is not good for Xing Yuanwai.

Two days later, Tang Lu instructed that Zhu Tianliu, Zhu Yang, and Zhang Seli be summoned to the case, and Xing Yuan was invited to appear for trial.

"Zhu Yang's!"

"The folk girl is here."

"This official asks you again, you are the most important party in this case, you will be given a chance today, the last chance, you have to answer truthfully, if the situation is true, Zhu Anliu will be severely punished, do you understand?" Tang Lu asked.

"I understand, I understand, I must be severely punished, I must be severely punished." Zhu Yang said.

Zhu Yang has always believed that Zhu Anliu will be severely punished, and when he heard Tang Lu say this, he was even more excited, because it was in line with his own ideas, and he wanted Zhu Anliu to be severely punished, the more serious the better!

Her wishful thinking plays well, it depends on whether Tang Lu cooperates or not. Tang Lu also knew her wishful thinking, but the magic was one foot tall and one foot high, Tang Lu did not play cards according to the convention, he asked: "Are you sure you don't know Zhu Anliu?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhu Yang said.

"Have you never seen the contract for the division of property that Zhu Anliu gave you?" Tang Lu asked.

"I've never seen any contracts!" Zhu Yang said.

"Good! Come, go, and bring the prisoner Zhu Anliu to the court to confront him. Tang Lu commanded.

The officials were ordered to go to the prison to pick up the prisoners.

After a long while, before Zhu Anliu arrived, some people were a little irritable, and the people in the public hall looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

While he was guessing, suddenly, the official stumbled in, shouting as he ran: "My lord, my lord, it's not good, it's not good!" Zhu Anliu is dead! Zhu Anliu died in his cell. ”

"What?" Tang Lu asked, "Teng-" and stood up.

"Zhu Anliu is dead!"

"Nonsense, it was okay for the official to see it yesterday! Lang Zhong said that it was no big deal! Tang Lu said.

"My lord, I'm really dead!" The official said.

"This official always doesn't believe it, come here, go and see if it's a real death or a fake death! If you really die, it will be very troublesome. Tang Lu said.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Seri wept bitterly, and his voice reached the roof, which was deafening.

Zhu Tianliu sighed and secretly wept.

Xing Yuanwai secretly wiped his tears, whether it was true or not, he was really ashamed to think that his son was beaten and ostracized when he returned to his home, and even his parents could not be buried properly, he never expected that the family would be completely finished.

Zhu Yang's family didn't mention how happy they were in their hearts, okay, they were dead, they were dead, they were dead, and if they died, there would be no one to share the Zhu family's property. All the property of the Zhu family belongs to the daughter of the Zhu Yang family.

He went to the prison for an autopsy, and after a while, he came back and said: "He has lost his breath, and he has been hit by a heavy object on his temple, which has caused tetanus, which in turn has caused other intracranial hemorrhages and died, and there are purple marks around the wound and blood accumulation." Due to poor blood flow, congestion is caused, which exacerbates the bursting of blood vessels and leads to death. ”

"Is it all on the books?"

"Recorded."

"Present it and have a look."

"Yes!"

He respectfully handed over the post-mortem report. Tang Lu looked at it and said: "The situation has become clear, now that someone has died, the nature of the case has changed, everyone has noticed that at the beginning, it was the family fighting for the family property, and now the party is dead, it was originally a small matter, but I didn't expect it to become a big thing." ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't know how Tang Lu would clean up this scene.

Zhu Yang was thinking in his heart, it's good to close the case quickly, it's good to close the case quickly! They never imagined that the witch had a role, and I gave the witch money for this, and as long as the witch didn't say it, no one would know. If you want the witch not to speak out, it's better to do the witch as well, anyway, the witch is useless now.

"So be it! The official should take a good look at the dossier. For the sake of prudence, the official went to see what was going on, Zhu Tianliu, you go back and prepare a coffin to pull Zhu Anliu back, and bury him with his parents, come back tomorrow, and be here today. Retire! Tang Lu said.

Everyone dispersed, and Tang Lu arranged for the arrest to put on makeup and follow Zhu Yang's to see what she was going to do.

The wind has been released, and Zhu Yang must have made a move.

After catching the makeup, he followed Zhu Yang's not far and not close to see where she went.

Zhu Yang and Zhu Tianliu separated, Zhu Tianliu asked her where she was going, and she said, "My stomach is upset, go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine." ”

Zhu Tianliu thought that she was sad because Zhu Anliu died, which caused her stomach to hurt, so she didn't care, and went straight home to prepare the coffin, and prepared to come to the county government prison to pull people back.

Zhu Yang's turned into an alley, caught and followed, at the end of the alley, a messy place, like a garbage heap, there were actually people in it, the light inside was very dim, in the dim, in broad daylight, there were still oil lamps.

Catch fast and slowly approach.

"Coming?"

"Here we are."

I heard one woman talking, and the other one was Zhu Yang.

The woman's voice was hoarse, probably because she had drunk an unknown potion, which injured her vocal cords, or she could have yelled and broken her throat while doing something.

"Is it done?"

"It's done!"

"That's good!"

"Here's a thank you fee!" Zhu Yang said, and took out a silver ingot from his arms, which was enough for ten taels.

When the witch reached out to pick it up, Zhu Yang deliberately missed, the silver fell to the ground with a "bang", the witch bent down and lowered her head to pick up the silver, Zhu Yang picked up the medicine stick next to him, according to the back of the witch's head, and smashed it hard, only to hear the sound of "oops", the witch fell to the ground, and the medicine stick was stained with red and white things.

The witch lay upright on the ground, bleeding profusely.

Zhu Yang picked up the silver on the ground, wiped the blood on the witch's dirty clothes, wiped the blood stains clean, put it back into his arms, and touched the money bag on the witch's waist, took it off, and took it away, creating a false appearance of burglary.

When she arrived at the door, she opened the low door, poked her head out and looked out, and then looked back at the witch who fell to the ground, Zhu Yang put her hand under the witch's nose, made sure that she was not breathing, her body slowly became cold, and she got up to leave.

When Zhu Yang's family walked away, he quickly entered the house, looked at the scene of the crime, and immediately went back to report.

"Immediately arrest Zhu Yang, notify the other parties, and ascend to court to hear the case." Tang Lu commanded.

Soon, Zhu Yang was captured.

"Zhu Yang's!"

"The folk girl is here!"

"You are guilty!"

"I don't know. What is the sin of the people's daughter? Zhu Yang asked rhetorically.

She knew very well that Zhu Anliu was dead, and the witch who tied the paper was also dead, there was no evidence for her death, Tang Lu had no evidence, and there was nothing she could do about him, she was secretly proud.

"Innocent?"

"Seriously."

"Okay, please protect the land."

The local security guard came and said, "My lord, in Gucheng Baguizi Hutong, I found that the witch was killed by a stick, and some witnesses reported that it was Zhu Yang who entered and exited the witch's house before and after the witch was killed. ”

"Okay, Shuli, for the record." Tang Lu said.

"Catch it, you can talk about it!"

"Adult, after the little one left the hall just now, he disguised himself as an ordinary person and quietly followed Zhu Yang's family, only to see Zhu Yang's family enter the witch's house, only to listen to the sound of talking inside, after a while, I heard the sound of something falling on the ground, and then there was a muffled sound, someone made an oops, and then Zhu Yang left the witch's room, and the small one went into the house to check, and found that the witch was dead." Catch it quickly.

"Okay, Shuli, record it together, you all take a look, if it's okay, sign and draw, and retreat." Tang Lu said, and said to Zhu Yang's family: "Zhu Yang's family, you say it yourself, did you kill this witch, if you lie, there will be big punishment waiting for you left and right, say it quickly!" ”

"My lord, the witch was not killed by the people's daughter, and the witch's death has nothing to do with the people's daughter." Zhu Yang said.

"Zhu Yang, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Come on, let's play forty boards first! Tang Lu ordered.

The officials stepped forward with their fists and wanted to overthrow Zhu Yang's family and beat her, but she immediately confessed and said, "My lord, the people's daughter confesses!" The witch was very hateful, in fact, many people hated her, and the people killed her to eliminate harm for the people! Adults should be grateful to the people's daughters, why do you still want to fight? ”

"What right do you have to deprive people of their lives? No matter how bad a witch is, she is also the people of her own officials, and if you want to kill or chop, there are national laws that stipulate that it is not your turn to deprive others of their lives. Don't you know that a murderer dies? Tang Lu said.

"My lord, the people's daughter pleads guilty and accepts punishment, just don't affect the people's daughter's property, the people's daughter is willing to be sentenced to death, just don't confiscate the property." Zhu Yang said.

"They are all dying, and they are still holding on to their property! It's all property that hurts you, and you haven't woken up yet. You know, this Zhu Anliu was also killed by you. You committed two murders by yourself, and two died at your hands, don't you know? Zhu Anliu talks about seniority, you laugh at him, that is, to beat him to death and reward, but to teach the younger generations, it is nothing more than to use too much force, and he will be killed or injured by mistake, you can spend more money, and you can atone for your sins, and you will not be sentenced to death, but you are reluctant to pay, and you want to kill people even more, because you are sure that Zhu Anliu is dead, you are secretly buying the witch to make a paper man, putting Zhu Anliu to death, and you want to monopolize the property of the Zhu family. If, as you said, Zhu Anliu is not your nephew, or an ordinary person, and he gives you a fake contract, you will not be ruthless and kill people with wooden sticks, don't you know the truth of killing people to pay for their lives? Not only did you kill Zhu Anliu, but then you didn't do anything, and then you went to kill the witch with a stick, after all, the witch has kindness to you, you don't want to reciprocate, but kill her to kill her, how vicious your heart is! It's a game of femme fatales! You have committed a capital crime and should be beheaded according to the law, but your methods of committing the crime are cruel, you have no regard for human life, and you refuse to admit your guilt and die without repentance, so this official sentenced you to Ling Chi to death. Left and right, take down Zhu Yang's family, put him on death row, and execute him on a certain day! Tang Lu said.

After hearing the verdict, Zhu Yangshi was so frightened that he trembled like chaff all over his body, and he couldn't stop, his face was like earth, sallow and sallow, not like a person. She hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Zhu Anliu's is indeed the nephew of the people's daughter, it is the nephew, the poor people's daughter is dizzy, she didn't recognize it, but now she recognizes it, it is, the poor people's daughter's nephew, when she was a child, she didn't have her father and mother, and her aunt didn't raise her well, and she didn't know how to grow up!" My aunt can't stand my nephew! I'm so sorry! Woooooooooooo ”

"Since you admit that Zhu Anliu is your nephew, what evidence do you have? As long as there is evidence, of course the official will support your claim. Tang Lu asked.

"Of course there is evidence, of course there is, my lord, here is the evidence, it is clearly written. There are two contracts, one is checked by his nephew Zhu Anliu for the people's daughter, and the other is kept by Zhu Tianliu, and they are indeed the same, not bad at all. Zhu Yang said.

"Have you read the form drafted by Zhang Seri? Is it the content of the contract, especially the part about the division of the property? ”

"Yes, my lord, the content is exactly the same, the content of the two contracts, and the content of the contract are the same, there is nothing wrong at all." Zhu Yang said.

"Good! Present! ”

"Good!"

The official gave the contract to Tang Lu.

"Good! Yes, come on, please Zhu Anliu. Tang Lu ordered.

When everyone heard this, their faces turned white with fright, and some wanted to leave immediately, but the gate was closed, and the officials were surrounded by water, and there was nowhere to escape.

Everyone was muttering in their hearts, isn't this Zhu Anliu dead? And let him come up, is it a ghost?

Thinking of this, many people's legs and stomachs are trembling. I don't know if I can walk out of the county gate alive.
