Chapter 246: Grievances on the Execution Ground
The good Wenhui encountered a homicide, which is a bit disappointing, not to mention that the murderer has not been caught on the spot, and he doesn't know where to flee, which of course will attract the Wuhou in the market and even alarm the patrol guards, and the murder scene is surrounded by amusement gardens, there are private property of dignitaries and nobles, and there are also places for businessmen to purchase for profit, and there is no shortage of such general, like Liu Shiyi, who has no intention of taking the imperial examination and is not allowed to be placed by the children of the family, on the surface it is private property, but in fact it will be rented out for people to enjoy and party, and the owners of the major amusement gardens are extremely complicated, The guests are by no means single, and whoever knows which one is related to the murderer, and it is inevitable to carry out a search.
Sure enough, before everyone was separated, Wuhou had already come to the door, but seeing that most of the people present were prominent children, they didn't dare to ask questions, and accompanied them with smiling faces to let everyone stay in the garden for the time being.
Liu Shiyi was naturally alarmed, he rushed here to see that Eleven Niang was also there, but he was very surprised, he didn't pay attention to that Wuhou at all, and asked Eleven Niang: "Why is Yiyi here, didn't you get any fright?" ”
actually called Eleven Niang's nickname in front of so many foreign men!
When the niece glared at this unreliable uncle angrily, saying that she was not frightened, seeing that even those martial marquis were attracted by Liu Shiyi, who was shocked at this time, her eyes went straight to herself, so she had to explain seriously: "Li Shisanlang invited his niece to come here to appreciate the paintings. ”
Liu Shiyi remembered this purpose at this time, and turned around and hooked up with a team leader: "This villa is in my name, and it is leased to Li Shisanlang today, but it is just a place for the literary meeting, and it has nothing to do with the murder." ”
The team leader had already cautiously inquired about Li Shisanlang and the others just now, but did not find anything strange, and he was not embarrassed at this time, but said: "According to eyewitnesses, the murderer fled immediately after he succeeded, and I don't know if he was hiding in your mansion. ”
"Please." Of course, Liu Shiyi did not refuse.
However, there were a few guests who were waiting impatiently, shouting whether they could leave, which made the team leader embarrassed, and said: "Because the matter is very important, please stay here for the time being and wait for news, Jing Zhaoyin has already arrived to investigate, and you need the permission of Mao Fujun before you can leave." ”
This murder case actually alarmed Jing Zhaoyin!
The two Lang Jun, who were still impatiently pacing back and forth just now, could only pull off their robes and sit down again.
"Liu Langjun can I find out who the deceased is?" He Zhan asked in a low voice, according to his expectations, even if Kyoto wanted to have a life case in broad daylight, he would not alarm the great god Mao Tending when he was idle, unless the identity of the deceased was not ordinary.
Sure enough, I got an answer: "I heard that it was Liu Du." ”
Liu Du!!
Eleven Niang's heart sank, first she looked at He Zhan, and the two of them looked at Lu Li again.
Liu Du finally had an accident, but he was assassinated in such a way in full view, and the murderer ran away without a trace, which shows that the art is bold and has a backer, it should be that the Queen Mother has begun to close the net, and the purpose will never be just to eliminate Liu Du, Feng Bozhang and Xue Qian are only afraid that they will be in danger.
Although Shi Niang's "Bao Xue" plan has been implemented early, whether it achieves the expected effect is the key now, and it is difficult to be uneasy at this time.
But in front of many people, it was inconvenient for her to discuss with Lu Li.
waited for Wan Nian Wei to arrive, personally questioned everyone, and recorded written evidence, before finally allowing him to leave.
Lu Li, who deliberately fell at the end, saw the concerned gazes of Eleven Niang and He Zhan, but smiled slightly, patted He Zhan on the shoulder and left the word "rest assured", and then returned home.
However, at the end of the day, because the murderer who assassinated the imperial court official Liu Du on the bank of the Qujiang River evaporated without leaving the slightest trace, Jingzhao Yin Mao and Wan Nian Ling Cao Gang were at a loss, in the most noisy open center of the East City, on the high platform set up to execute criminals, a woman suddenly ascended, knelt on the ground, and shouted injustice!
Chang'an City East and West Two Cities are set up execution grounds, the West Execution Ground is also known as the single willow tree, the East Execution Ground is commonly known as the execution platform, but there are prisoners who are executed here, although it will attract thousands of onlookers, but when there is usually no lively execution to see, the execution platform in the East City is surrounded by small traders gathering place, from firewood, rice, oil and salt to rouge gouache, there are everything sold, of course, most of the buyers to the open collection are ordinary people, and there are few nobles in Chinese clothes, so this place is very noisy and disorderly at first glance.
The execution platform is usually not guarded by Ding Yong, and it is just a few trees on a high platform, and there is no need to guard it.
Therefore, at the end of the day, the open gathering that had just opened the occasion was at its most lively time, and the small traders were busy shouting and soliciting, and the people who got up early and drove for half a day to finally arrive in the East Market were all focused on the dazzling array of goods, or were busy bargaining, and no one paid attention to the execution table in it.
only to a terrible cry, which attracted the attention of a group of people close to the execution site, and subconsciously shouted "look"!
It didn't take long for thousands of eyes to focus on the high execution platform.
The woman, dressed in a white sheet, with her hair draped and her feet on her feet, knelt on a high platform, her face full of tears, and she held her arms high and held a copper plate, and on top of the copper plate seemed to be a scroll of paper with different folds.
The voice was wronged, and gradually the noise around him subsided.
Until the great open was silent, the muffled discussion could no longer interfere with the woman's voice.
"The concubine's husband Guo Yuan, formerly the head of Hanzhou, four years ago, Liu Du was assassinated by Shi Liu Du to threaten to deduct the disaster grain allocated by the imperial court, and handed it over to the merchant Jia to sell it at a high price! caused countless victims of starvation in Hanzhou, and inspired the people to revolt! ”
Liu Du's case attracted the edict of the Son of Heaven four years ago, and the people have heard about it, not long ago Liu Du was acquitted because of the natural disaster, which caused a lot of discussion, but where did the common people understand whether Liu Du was loyal or traitorous, that is, they just talked twice, but they didn't expect that such a woman suddenly appeared today and knelt on the execution ground to expose Liu Du's crime!
I've only heard of someone beating the drum, but I've never heard of the rare thing of running to the execution ground to shout grievances.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion, but many people were so anxious that they pulled their voices: "Don't talk about it first, listen to this woman continue!" ”
There was a commotion, and this time after the surrounding area of the execution ground was quiet, it was almost audible that the needles had fallen.
"Liu Duqing's governor made a mistake, and the concubine's husband killed and killed him, because the late husband had already taken precautions, the concubine was able to escape with the child, and because the late husband was alive as a precaution, he stole the documents of the transaction with the merchant and hid them elsewhere, and only secretly told the concubine, so as not to be destroyed by Liu Du." The woman pushed the copper plate in her hand a few inches forward: "This is documentary evidence left by the late husband." ”
After saying this, the woman seemed to be inadequate, put aside the documentary evidence, and continued to kneel and complain: "The concubine inquired about Liu Du's guilt and blamed the first husband, saying that the first husband stole the documents and absconded for fear of crime, and the concubine wanted to submit documentary evidence to testify against Liu Du in person, but she heard that Feng and Xue were trying to protect Liu Du in the court, so she hesitated, worried that once she showed up and killed again, she would not only be unable to avenge her husband, but also unable to expose Liu Du's crime!" ”
"Sure enough, four years have passed, and instead of being questioned and executed, Liu Du was released due to a catastrophe in the sky!"
"If the catastrophe is really in vain to slander loyalty, why did Liu Du still have a snow disaster after his release, and he froze to death innocent!"
"It is clear that Feng Xue Erxiang deceived the king and fooled the people in order to shield the traitor and help him get rid of his crimes!"
"The first husband is just a household, if there is no Liu Du's instructions, how dare he steal and sell the disaster grain, Liu Du is a thorn in history, and he knows that the disaster grain has not been issued according to the order! These documentary evidence, all signed and issued by Liu Du, are ironclad evidence! ”
"And the late husband has been killed by Liu Du, but he absconded for fear of crime, if the concubine does not expose Liu Du's crimes, won't the concubine be a criminal fugitive for the rest of her life, and will not see the light of day?"
"When the concubine heard that Liu Du was released, she knew that she was powerless to resist, so she had to use all the money left by her late husband to buy the assassins, and finally, on the bank of the Qujiang River today, she killed this dog official!"
"Liu Du is not dead, although the concubine can sue on the spot, I am afraid that with the protection of the prime minister, this dog official will also get away with it, if so, the concubine has no shame to see the first husband under Jiuquan!"
"The concubine knows that murder pays for her life, and she doesn't want to escape, but I hope that so many eyes and ears present can remember the concubine's grievances and transfer the blood and criminal evidence written by the concubine!"
"Although the concubine and his wife are both sinners, but the child is innocent, if the saint can make a clear judgment and punish Liu Du according to the law, I only hope that the concubine can expose the adultererous pigtail and forgive the child without guilt!"
"Rank father, the orphan of the concubine will stay in the Yunlai Inn in Dongshi, and I hope that the well-wishers can transfer it to the official office after the death of the concubine!"
After saying this last sentence, the woman suddenly pulled out a dagger, and actually plunged it into her heart in public, and before she stabbed herself, the person had already stepped to the edge of the execution table, so in this exclamation one after another, the woman fell to her death under the execution table!
