"Okay, this official asks you, sixteen years ago, when you were in Qiu's mansion, did you see Mrs. Qiu pregnant?"

"Back to my lord, no."

Zhao Jin asked again: "Are you sure, what were you doing in Qiu Mansion at that time?" ”

"When the folk woman was in Qiu Mansion, she was a second-class sprinkler and sweeper at the beginning of the lady's courtyard, and when the lady saw that I was smart, she asked me to serve me closely."

"So, you have close contact with Madam Qiu almost every day?"

"Yes, sir. The woman can be sure that the lady was not pregnant at that time. But ......"

Speaking of this, Guo Shi glanced at Qiu Hong, and continued: "However, in July of the second year of Tiansheng, Lord Qiu brought back a baby girl from outside and asked his wife to raise him, claiming that he was born to his wife. ”

Qiu Hong's eyes were about to pop out.

But now it is in the public court, and sitting on it is the eldest grandson of the founding county prince, he must be followed by a master, he can't kill this Guo family in front of so many people, and he doesn't have this opportunity.

"Okay, just like Guo said, Sister Rong is not my wife's biological child, she is also fostered in her name, she is the head of the Qiu family, as long as it is my Qiu Hong's child, it is her child, isn't this okay?"

Bi Xinyu looked at Qiu Hong sarcastically.

He spoke again: "My lord, I say this, but I just want everyone to know what kind of person Qiu Hong is, he is a complete hypocrite, he values reputation more than anything else, he is ruthless, Sister Rong eloped with a scholar, and then came back pregnant, for Qiu Hong, it is a great shame, he is a person, he can do it even if he is a husband and wife, not to mention a daughter who has no value?" ”

"These are all your words, even if I am a villain, it doesn't mean that I killed Sister Rong, you have to figure it out, these are two different things."

"Lord Zhao, in this case, please allow my third witness to come to the court to correct me."

Sanqi went out again, and this time it was a limping man who didn't look good, but Qiu Hong could barely stand up when the man appeared.

The man endured his grief, and after calmly saluting Zhao Jin, he said, "Student Qu Zhisheng, I have seen adults. ”

"Don't be polite, tell me what you know."

"Yes."

Qu Zhisheng took a deep breath and began to calmly recount the events of two months ago.

Qu Zhisheng set out from Jing County to Kyoto to take the exam, and on June 18, passing through the suburbs of Mingguang County, fainted on the side of the road, and was rescued by Qiu Birong. took him back to the county inn and asked Lang Zhong to see him.

After he woke up, he talked with Qiu Birong, but he didn't expect that the two had similar interests, but in just seven days, they fell in love with each other.

just learned Qiu Birong's identity and felt that he was not worthy of her, so he promised Qiu Birong that he would marry her after he was in high school. But when Qiu Birong went to visit him at the inn for the last time, Qiu Hong knew about it.

So, he went back to the county government with Qiu Hong and told Qiu Hong about his mutual affection for Qiu Birong, hoping that he could agree.

Unexpectedly, he was ridiculed by Qiu Hong's words, Qu Zhi was angry but left the county office alone.

I plan to leave Mingguang County the next day.

It's just that she didn't expect that Miss Qiu found the inn at night and told him that she had secretly run out, and she said that she would go to Kyoto with Qu Zhisheng, and then return to Mingguang County in style, so that Qiu Hong would agree to their marriage.

In order to avoid Qiu Hong's search, the two deliberately took the path.

I didn't walk for two days before I got lost in the mountains.

A man and a woman, in that case, have skin-to-skin intimacy. On the second day, they were rescued by a passing Orion, and after a few days of recuperation, the two walked in the direction of Kyoto again.

They thought that after six or seven days, those people had already left, so they happily walked slowly and leisurely from the official road to Kyoto.

Time flashed to August 20th, they had arrived in Ju County, and they were already very close to Fengfu, but they didn't expect those who captured them to wait there, and they were about to take Qiu Birong away.

Qiu Birong forced each other to die, and those people didn't dare to do it.

But while they were asleep, he knocked them out and brought them back to Mingguang County.

Those people didn't dare to hurt Qiu Birong, so the rope tied to her was very loose, and Qiu Birong untied it, and escaped with Qu Zhisheng.

However, they still knew about Qiu Birong's pregnancy.

and passed the letter to Qiu Hong.

"How do you know that the person who kidnapped you back told Qiu Hong about Miss Qiu's pregnancy?"

"Because, this man!"

Qu Zhisheng said and pointed to Foxit.

"He was the one who hunted me and Rong'er after him, and Rong'er asked him why he wanted to kill us. He said, on the orders of Lord Qiu. This man's weapon was a soft sword, and he not only killed Rong'er, but also killed the person who was in charge of capturing us at the time, pushing me off the cliff. ”

"It's nonsense, it's just nonsense, Lord Zhao's words can't be trusted."

Qu Zhisheng sighed twice, and took out a black token from his arms: "Qiu County ordered you to be familiar with this token, it is the token specially matched by the officials in the yamen." The officials who were killed by this man five days ago are still lying there, and Lord Zhao can send someone to check whether their wounds were killed by this person's weapon. ”

Gu Qingjue said at this time: "This doesn't have to be so troublesome, I have already asked Sanqi to bring back the corpses of those people." However, because it is in the wilderness, some have been eaten and mutilated, and only the remaining two are intact. ”

Luckily, the temperature dropped sharply from September onwards.

The body that had been dead for five days was not seriously decomposed, and it did not affect the autopsy.

Zhao Jin immediately summoned Ding Chengzuo, set up a simple coroner's examination table on the side, and asked Ding Zhuo to conduct an autopsy in front of all the people present.

Two officials pulled a piece of white cloth to block it, and the other officer took a pen and paper to record it.

It doesn't take too long to check whether the knife on the neck of the dead person is consistent with Foxit's weapon.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Ding Chengzuo gave the result, and the knife on the deceased's neck was consistent with Fu Xin's weapon.

The results of the autopsy are in.

Bi Xinyu said: "Qiu Hong, what else do you have to say?"

As soon as Bi Xinyu's words fell, Fu Xin, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I killed everyone, it's none of my business."

"Fu Xin, you are a slave and he is the master, without his order, you dare to kill the master of the Qiu family, where did you have so much courage? You can't fool us all for fools! ”

"Madame doesn't believe it, and there is no way. When the adults received the letter and learned that the girl was pregnant, they were very sad. The subordinates couldn't see the master so embarrassed, so they decided to kill both of them. ”

"The old gentleman is heartfelt and admirable. It's true that you killed people, but this letter, Lord Qiu, can't be forgotten anyway. ”
