Chapter 269: Hou Yinping resists to the death
Lu Bufei came out of the hole, only to see Xu Jing holding the wooden board on his chest with both hands, and sitting on the ground with convulsions, the other end of the short halberd had already revealed the sharp tip of the halberd from his back.
Lu Bu stomped his foot.
"You guys are really cheap, you want to harm Ben Hou several times, but you don't want to harm yourself and your family, if it weren't for the order of the adults, Ben Hou would have broken your body into ten thousand pieces today." Lu Bu said to Xu Jing's corpse, which was still spasmodizing, and then, pulling out the halberd vigorously, he watched Xu Jing's dirty blood splash all over the board.
Several Lang Zhong determined that Shen Ji had no signs of life.
"Tang Zhuangshi, what should I do next?" The two messengers asked Lu Bu.
Lu Bu sighed.
"You two stay for a while, and don't let anyone come near, and the rest of you don't leave without permission." Lu Bu commanded, and then pointed to Ji'er and Dong Qian and said, "You two go to the mansion with me, tell Lord Bao about the past, and wait for your lordship." ”
The two of them had already had no opinions, and nodded hurriedly again and again.
At this time, Mr. Bao was still waiting in the lobby.
Master Bao treated Hou Yinping politely, and didn't embarrass her, but just asked her to stand under the lobby.
He didn't expect Xu Jing to be killed by Lu Bu.
Fortunately, the girl named Ji'er hated Hou Yinping very much because she had a lot of feelings for Mrs. Xu, and as soon as she arrived in the lobby, she had already told her about her private meeting with Xu Jing.
"Before my wife became ill today, Mrs. Wei came to visit the house, and during the period she sent the slave and maid out, although the slave and maid did not see Mrs. Wei poisoned with her own eyes, but it is expected that this matter has nothing to do with her. I also hope that my lord will see it and avenge my wife. Jill said, wiping tears from her eyes.
"Jill Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Hou Yinping suddenly shouted when she heard Ji'er's words, and then, she made a very pitiful look and said to Master Bao, "My lord is aware that the sinner admits that she has an affair with that Xu Jing, but the murder of the sinner woman's husband and Mrs. Xu's death have nothing to do with the sinner woman, it is all that Hu Lai and Xu Jing are secretly making trouble, and I hope that the sinner will not be wronged." ”
This Hou Yinping is really powerful, now that everyone who knows the truth is dead, as long as he grits his teeth, at best he will only end up with the name of a "slut", see what can you do to me with a black head?
Lu Bu's mistake this time invisibly brought a lot of trouble to Master Bao.
Master Bao glared at Hou Yinping angrily and said nothing.
It can be seen that this woman is not an ordinary person, and if she wants to get the truth out of her mouth, she cannot rely on punishment or create fear.
Lu Bu obviously didn't think so.
Lu Bu strode over and picked Hou Yinping up.
"You wicked woman, Xu Jing and Hu Lai have wanted to harm Ben Hou several times, all because of you, if you still refuse to tell the truth today, Ben Hou will throw you to death here."
Before the words fell, Lu Bu had already lifted her up in the air, making a look of preparing to fall.
Who knows, this Hou Yinping is really extraordinary, although her face is also pale, but she still refuses to give in, and just shouts at Master Bao: "People say that you are a Qing official, how can you raise such a group of barbarian people, is it possible that you, Bao Qingtian, who is sitting in the South Ya, will also do such a careless thing to disregard people's lives?" ”
Lu Bu thought that as long as he was pretending, he could ask this woman to beg for mercy loudly, but he didn't want this woman to be so bold, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Tang Zhuangshi can't." Master Bao hurriedly shouted.
Xue Meng hurriedly ran over, pretended to be angry, snatched Hou Yinping from Lu Bu's hands, and put it on the ground.
If it was another official at this time, he might have pushed Hou Yinping outside and beaten him with a board and forcibly detained, but the facts must be in front of him, and she can't be allowed to deny it like this.
However, Bao Zheng didn't want to do it yet.
Killing one's husband is already a big crime in itself, not to mention that the person who was killed is a dignified prefect?
Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, as if he had nothing to do, and waved his hand.
"For the time being, he will be detained, and when this official will make this case clear, long live, please make a decision."
The crowd didn't know why.
Hou Yinping was taken down.
"Are the Lang Zhong who treated Mrs. Xu still at Xu Jing's house?" Bao Zheng suddenly asked Lu Budao.
"The villain has already asked the two errand brothers to guard there, and I don't think they will be let go." Lu Bu replied.
Bao Zheng nodded, very satisfied with Lu Bu's arrangement.
"Xue Meng, you go to find the bag of money and ask him to take out fifty taels of silver, and deal with the aftermath of Mrs. Xu and Shen Ji first." Master Bao instructed Xue Mengdao, and then turned his head to look at Lu Bu, "Tang Zhuangshi can go to Xu Jing's house quickly and bring all those Lang Zhong to the mansion, this official has something to ask." ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
Xue Meng and Lu Bu agreed successively and walked out of the lobby.
Not long after, several Langzhong were brought back by Lu Bu.
These people are all very famous Langzhong in Chuzhou City, and they usually help Mrs. Xu to see a doctor, but this time when they came too late, they could only watch Mrs. Xu die of poison.
"Do you have a pharmacy at home?" Lord Bao was very polite to these people.
"Returning to my lord, only the villain has a pharmacy in his home, and his name is Jishi." A middle-aged man named Mr. Liu took a few steps forward and bowed in reply.
Master Bao looked at him.
"Mr. Liu, how many other households are there in Chuzhou City in Langzhong, who runs a pharmacy like you?"
Mr. Liu pondered for a moment.
"The villain runs only a very small shop, and there are many pharmacies in this city, if you count them carefully, there are no less than thirty or forty."
Bao Zheng seemed to be a little disappointed, with so many pharmacies, it would be difficult to find the one where Hou Yinping bought the poison.
Bao Zheng thought about it and suddenly smiled.
"You wait here for the time being." Bao Zheng said and stood up with his fat belly covered, as if he was in a hurry to go to the hut.
Not long after, he had already appeared in the room where the maid named Xiaohong was being held behind.
"Little Red Girl, your Mrs. Wei has been captured by the official, just because she couldn't stand the punishment and was beaten to death, now, the official still has one thing to ask yet, as long as you can say it, the official can no longer pursue you for the crime of knowing and not reporting, otherwise, you will be the same as Mrs. Wei, you will be beaten all over your body before you die, and it will be difficult to find even a corpse."
Master Bao's understatement of a few words has scared Xiaohong to the point that she is out of her mind.
With a "plop", Xiaohong knelt in front of Lord Bao.
"As long as Master Bao spares the life of the slave and maid, the slave and maid are willing to tell everything they know truthfully."
Bao Zheng sat there and nodded.
"This official asks you, your Mrs. Wei was sick before, can you ask Lang Zhong to go to the house for medical treatment?"
Xiaohong thought for a moment.
"The slave and maid remembered, only a few months ago, my wife occasionally felt cold and tired, and asked the slave and maid to go to Langzhong, who was invited by a pharmacy called Jishi, that Mr. Liu was very enthusiastic, and personally helped Mrs. decoction medicine, and watched Mrs. take it before leaving."
"Mr. Liu?" Bao Zheng was slightly surprised, "Do you remember what this person looks like?" ”
"Remember, remember." Xiaohong said, "After Mrs. recovered from her illness, this Mr. Liu also went to inquire several times in person, and he was very concerned about Mrs. Niang's body. ”
Bao Zheng's two fat lips almost grinned to the root of his ears.
"Okay, little red girl, you can hide in the house, and when I call a few Langzhong, you can identify them."
"Do as your lord commands." Xiaohong nodded hurriedly.
Some people died, but not completely......
