Chapter 25: Retribution

Afternoon.

There was a strange scene in the Yanping County Yali, and there were people everywhere whispering, all of whom were talking about the murder that had just happened in the Wei Mansion.

And the focus of their discussion is not the bizarre case, but the small catcher who used unconventional means to solve the case.

"Wow, didn't you see it," said one of the officials who was lucky enough to witness the process of solving the case, "Xu Zhen just kissed it, and he pulled out that little maid!" ”

"Wouldn't it? Is it really close? How to kiss? ”

"Then there is a fake, I kissed a few of them, this kid is really a blessing. You know, those little girls are so handsome, and their buttocks are very strong! Alas, if only I had the ability to do it......"

……

"Oh, don't you see, my hair is fried," said a quick catcher to his colleagues on the other side, "I feel cold on my back, that's scary!" ”

"Really?" The other catcher quickly asked, "Can that kid really exorcise ghosts and psychic?" Isn't that wicked? ”

"I didn't squeeze in at the time, but the old men all saw it," said the catcher, "that Wei Yulang's daughter was originally a corpse, but under Xu Zhen's call, she actually spoke and told Wei Yulang the truth......"

"Really?" The others were dumbfounded, "Xu Zhen can still summon spirits?" Why didn't you see it before? ”

"It's not," the catcher said excitedly, "I saw this with my own eyes, but I didn't expect that the real murderer turned out to be Wei Yulang's daughter's mother!" I'm still a native of the Western Regions, and I look so beautiful......"

……

Looking at these whispering people, Chen Tiefeng shook his head, turned around and walked into the inner hall, and closed the door casually.

There was no one else in the inner hall, only two county officials, and Cheng Xiao, the head catcher.

"Lord Song, we have all arranged everything you ordered," Cheng Xiao reported to Song Zhili, "All the things Xu Zhen said have also been clarified!" ”

"Oh?" Song Zhili hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Is it true? ”

"Well," Cheng Xiao nodded, "We asked a few of Qiu Batian's servants through the relationship. Indeed, Qiu Batian had been with the two courtesans of the Sect Division on the night of the crime, and it was impossible for him to kidnap other women. It is even more nonsense to throw a woman in the city. ”

"Yes, my lord," Chen Tiefeng echoed, "Qiu Batian's carriage has been parked in the Drunken Immortal Residence that morning, and it hasn't moved at all, so it can't be that they did it." ”

"Hmm...... However......" Song Zhili pondered, "If the case is really filed for trial, I'm afraid that the confessions of these people are completely invalid, right?" ”

"Indeed," Chen Houlu said, rubbing his beard, "they are all Qiu Batian's family members, and they are naturally oriented to their masters, and their confessions are useless in the public court."

"I'm afraid, that mysterious murderer is thinking of this, so he will set up a situation like this, right?"

"Those two courtesans ......" Song Zhili thought of something, and immediately asked as a reminder.

"Even if the confessions of the two of them are valid, they are not convincing," Chen Houlu shook his head, "As we said before, even if Qiu Batian slept with two courtesans that night, it would not prevent him from kidnapping and raping other women.

"Lord Song," Chen Houlu said, "Li Laohan and his daughter are dead, this is called death without proof, whoever can win, it will be seen that the two sides of the lawsuit are strong!" ”

"Well......" Song Zhili thought about it for a while, and asked Cheng Xiao again, "So...... What about the corpse of Li Laohan's daughter? ”

"My lord," Cheng Xiao hurriedly replied, "This has also been confirmed, the one that was destroyed by the fire was indeed a highly decomposed corpse, and it must have been dead for a long time!" ”

"Yes," Chen Tiefeng echoed, "There are places on the clothes that are not burned clean, and if you look closely, it is clear that they are shrouds, and they may not have been dug up from any grave." ”

"Oh?" Song Zhili asked, "Where is this corpse now?" ”

"It's too stinky," Cheng Xiao said, "We found a hidden place to bury it, anyway, this thing is useless, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to get it to Yizhuang!" ”

"Yes, you did the right thing." Song Zhili nodded, "Now, we can't let others know that it was not Li Laohan's daughter who was burned to death. ”

"Then ......" Chen Houlu thought of something and asked, "Have you found out about Li Laohan's poisoning?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao and the others immediately shook their heads helplessly.

"I've already been tortured, and those two jailers won't say anything," Cheng Xiao said, "and we're going to check the relationship between the two of them." ”

"Well," Song Zhili nodded first, then sighed, "Alas, I feel that we will have to make a big decision soon!" ”

Song Zhili's so-called major decision naturally refers to the arrest of Qiu Batian, which is a reminder to Cheng Xiao to prepare as soon as possible.

"By the way, my lord," Cheng Xiao thought of something and asked, "I just heard that something happened to Wei Yulang's mansion?" Why did you hear a lot of people talking about Xu Zhen when you came in just now? Xu Zhen...... What's wrong with it? ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Song Zhili hurriedly looked at Chen Houlu and asked, "What about Xu Zhenren?" ”

"Yes," Chen Houlu spread his hands, "I didn't pay attention to it, where did he go?" ”

……

Wing On Street.

After noon, the market stops busy.

Many stalls have been closed and pedestrians are scarce.

At this moment, Xu Zhen sat on the steps under the archway, looking at the deserted street in a daze.

Although he is here now to investigate Qiu Batian's case, what he is thinking about is still what happened in the Wei Mansion.

No wonder this Wei Yulang is listed as the head of the four villains in Yanping County, looking at Si Siwenwen, his heart is so extreme and ruthless.

From this point of view, he has no feelings for that Mrs. Wei, but just uses Mrs. Wei as a tool for his revenge.

However, there is cause and effect in the dark, and it is precisely because of his indulgence that he loses his fertility and cannot fulfill his desire to have a son.

Now that I have suffered the pain of losing my daughter, it can be regarded as retribution, right!?

Thinking about it, Mrs. Wei is also quite pitiful, the country is gone, the family is gone, and it is only today that I understand that it was none other than her husband who caused the ruin of her country.

This kind of blow is too hurtful, and now she has become a prisoner and murderer, I don't know, what will happen to this former princess Rama in the end?

Of course, there is also the poor maid Sang'er, who worked very hard to live, but was burdened by the family, and in the end he was miserably used and lost his life.

It was precisely because of empathy that Xu Zhen asked Wei Yulang to fulfill the promise that Mrs. Wei had promised to Sang'er.

As long as Wei Yulang compensates Sang'er's family, at least the child will not die so unworthless.

In fact, Xu Zhen knew in his heart that if he forcibly asked Wei Yulang to pay off the debts of Wansheng Gambling House for him at that time, Wei Yulang would probably not refuse.

As long as he says a word, he is likely to live a debt-free and light life.

However, Xu Zhen would not do that, and could not do that.

First, he didn't want to be in the company of people like Wei Yulang.

Second, he has to use his own methods to solve the debt problem. Because Cui Xiaotian, a bully, also made him unhappy.

Xu Zhen knows that his power is very limited and he can't change this unfair world on his own, but he can still do it to eradicate these bullies who are causing trouble to the world, right?
