Early the next morning, Hai Daquan, who had not slept all night, carried the basket and carefully went to the place where Xinghua was killed.

When he met a villager on the road, Hai Daquan quietly avoided it, but no one noticed him before it was dark.

Hai Daquan put down the basket, took out the fire fold, and grabbed a few pieces of paper money from the basket and lit them.

He muttered, "Xinghua, you can't blame me, and I didn't mean to hurt you." Who told you not to choose me to choose Hu Blacksmith, where am I inferior to him? ”

Saying that, he was afraid that Xinghua would come to him again at night, and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, how much paper money I will give you, you can go on your way." After all, I'm still good to you, except for me, no one should have burned you paper money, right? ”

Thinking of this, Hai Daquan became at ease again.

Before he could completely let go of his heart, a group of servants rushed around him, and he sat on the ground in fright.

But he quickly reacted.

He is afraid of ghosts, but not people.

"I don't know what happened to the officials?"

Seeing that he had no intention of confessing, the official asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Hai Daquan said unhurriedly: "Didn't the official see it, I will burn some paper money for my family." ”

"This is not a grave."

Hai Daquan said confidently: "It's not important where you burn paper money, what matters is your mind." ”

"Really?" The official sneered, they had been in the village all night, but they didn't believe it if they heard him make up two nonsense sentences, "Take him back." ”

Hai Daquan was pressed by several officials, and he wanted to flutter, "Didn't I just burn paper money, which law did I violate?" You're going to arrest me? ”

"I have something to say back to the yamen."

Anyway, they have already heard clearly, this person is the murderer, whether he recognizes it or not, so they just want to tie Hai Daquan back, regardless of his attitude.

On the way, some villagers saw that Hai Daquan was still crying out for wrongdoing.

Unmoved, the officials took the people back to the yamen.

Song County ordered the court to open a trial of Hai Daquan, and the people were also allowed to watch.

As expected, Hai Daquan always pretended to be stupid and didn't admit that he had harmed Xinghua.

I have to say that although this person is afraid of ghosts, he is not afraid of people, and his psychological quality is very good at this time, and the onlookers feel that he has been wronged to the extent that he has been wronged.

Leng Mo Ran looked at Hai Daquan's eyes, and Hai Daquan hurriedly dodged.

Leng Mo Ran smiled slightly, and analyzed: "You like apricot blossoms, but apricot blossoms don't look down on you, so you chose Hu Blacksmith." You were unwilling, so you blocked Xinghua on the road, but you saw Xinghua and Blacksmith Hu together. You are angry in your heart, but you think that you are not Blacksmith Hu's opponent, so you wait until Blacksmith Hu leaves, and then go to Xinghua to entangle. ”

Hai Daquan sighed in his heart, he didn't expect to be guessed, but he still didn't want to admit it, "My lord, you have to pay attention to evidence in handling cases, but you can't guess it." ”

Leng Mo Ran ignored him and continued: "You questioned Xinghua, she firmly told you that she didn't like you, you became angry, picked up the sickle in your hand and cut Xinghua's neck. Soon Xinghua lay on the ground and did not move, you were very frightened, and when you saw the tumbling river not far away, you thought of pushing people into the river and destroying the corpses. Unexpectedly, the corpse did not drift away, but was found and reported to the yamen. ”

Hai Daquan began to pretend to be angry: "My lord, this can't be nonsense. The grass people didn't do these things! You go to the village to inquire, what is the reputation of my Hai Daquan? ”

Leng Mo looked at him in surprise: "If you have a good reputation, does it mean that you are not a murderer?" ”

The sea is choked.

Leng Mo Ran said again: "So many officials bumped into you burning paper money in the place where Xinghua had an accident, do you still want to quibble?" ”

Hai Daquan's eyes rolled, and he was really ready to continue quibbling.

Song County Ling was shocked: "The witness is coming." ”

Hai Daquan panicked, and saw his companion who often drank with him coming over.

"Cao Tieniu, a grass man, has seen two adults."

Song Xian Ling glanced at the cold ink dye, raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk back." ”

Cao Tieniu stood up.

Song County Ling asked: "Five days ago, did you see the whole sea?" ”

Cao Tieniu replied honestly: "The grass people will see him every day. ”

"Very well, was he abnormal that day? Honestly, if you conceal it, you are an accomplice. ”

Cao Tieniu trembled, hurriedly and seriously recalled, and said after a while: "It seems to be more panicked than usual." ”

Hai Daquan was angry and said angrily: "Cao Tieniu, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Song County's order was shocked: "Under the public court, no noise." ”

He continued to ask Cao Tieniu: "When did you see him?" ”

Cao Tieniu thought about it seriously, "When I first arrived." ”

"Anything else?"

Cao Tieniu shook his head and said, "No." ”

"What are you doing when you meet?"

"He went to help out in my field."

"Has he had any abnormalities these days?"

"Nope."

Hai Daquan breathed a sigh of relief obviously.

Leng Mo Ran immediately asked him: "You just killed Xinghua with the hoe that went to Cao Tieniu's field to work." ”

Hai Daquan subconsciously asked: "Where did the hoe come from?" ”

After that, he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Leng Mo Ran slightly hooked his lips, "After you hurt Xinghua, you planned to harm Blacksmith Hu and poisoned the water tank in his house." ”

Hai Daquan defended: "I didn't poison it. ”

"You admit that you hurt Apricot Blossom?"

A layer of cold sweat formed on Hai Daquan's back, "My lord, you must pay attention to evidence in handling cases. ”

Leng Mo Ran nodded, motioning for Song County to continue.

Song County Ling invited him up and carefully inquired about the situation of the apricot blossoms.

Every time he said a word, Hai Daquan became a little nervous.

When he was about to lose his nerves, Song County Ling sent Blacksmith Hu up again and asked him about the last meeting with Xinghua.

Leng Mo Ran had confessed to Blacksmith Hu in advance and asked him to deliberately say something wrong, and sure enough, after Blacksmith Hu said it, Hai Daquan subconsciously refuted it.

"The place where you met Xinghua that day was not there!"

After Hai Daquan finished speaking, he was dumbfounded when he saw everyone staring at him.

Song County Ling was furious: "Hai Daquan, don't you still admit it?" ”

"The grass people are wronged!"

Song County Commander called the official who brought Hai Daquan back to the yamen this morning, and the official recounted Hai Daquan's self-talk when he burned paper money.

The onlookers Xinghua Daddy couldn't wait to rush over and beat Hai Daquan angrily, Xinghua Niang cried: "Where are we Xinghua sorry for you, you treat her like this?" ”

Hai Daquan didn't speak.

Song County Ling asked: "Why do you want to burn paper money?" ”

Hai Daquan wanted to say that he would burn paper for his family, but there were people in the village who were watching, and they all knew the situation in his family, and others would not believe him when he said this.

And at this time, his mentality has begun to collapse, and he has no heart to say this again.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song County Ling directly raised his hand and signaled to the officials: "Pull it down and hit a hundred boards." ”

Hai Daquan was dumbfounded, "My lord, are you going to bend into a move?" ”
