Qu Zaichen nodded frankly and said: "Yes, in the morning, I used the matter of Lindu Beiyuan to hostage you, and forcibly invited you to Qufu to make a deal with me, after you arrived at Qufu, I ordered someone to knock you unconscious, and then tied up Cai Hu and Zhang Yan." The rest of the Song family didn't know about this, and they were just in time for the Song family to find someone to take down the crime of slander, intending to calm down the criticism as soon as possible, and the plan to end Song Gaoyuan's case failed. The rest of the Song family did not have as many storms as Song Shilang had seen, and they immediately panicked, and if you stayed in Qufu for a long time and did not return, they were even more panicked, constantly speculating about the reason why Song Shilang stayed in Qufu for a long time. When Luo Yi invited Song Shilang, he deliberately said that I invited Song Shilang into the Qu Mansion because I wanted to make a deal with Song Shilang, and they would be even more suspicious of what deal we could do, would you agree to the deal?

Previously, my eldest brother and Fang Chun had a long conversation, and I took Song Gaozhong out of the Song Mansion for two hours late at night, which has made you suspicious of each other, and they will be suspicious, if you suspect that Fang Chun and Song Gaozhong have reached a deal with Qufu, then, in order to protect yourself, you will be eager to trade with Qufu for mutual benefit. And eighty percent of the trading conditions you give are to betray them, and then remember that they have listened to nursery rhymes for a few days, and others are competing for their own Huangquan, and they will be even more suspicious of you for confessing your past sins in order to save your life.

In the evening, Inspector Zheng arrived at the official post in Jinzhou, and we walked into the official post with Song Shilang, and then my wife, Mrs. Li, and Yamen entered the official post one after another, and Cai Hu and Zhang Yan, who were tied up, were also escorted into the official post, and all those who knew the details of Song Gaoyuan's killing gathered at the official post.

When the Song family saw it, they were no longer suspicious, but sure that Song Shilang had betrayed them. Therefore, Inspector Zheng found relevant people and others to inquire about the post house, and when Inspector Zheng asked clearly, he would send people to the Song Mansion to arrest people, and even if they escaped death, they were afraid that the rest of their lives would only be miserable. They don't want to sit still, they have to move.

We sent someone to secretly monitor the movements of the Song family, and we speculated that Song Gaozhong and the others would either flee, or because of their anger at Song Shilang, they would tell the truth about Song Gaoyuan's killing, or in order to save their lives, they would kill people and kill all the insiders of Song Gaoyuan's murder.

Song Gaozhong and they chose the last one, except for Song Shilang, the remaining eight members of the Song family joined forces to stun the people in the official post, intending to burn down the official post and kill more than 20 lives in the official post including Inspector Zheng, Governor Li, and also including you Song Shilang. ”

Song Gaoyang unconsciously took a step back, Song Gaozhong suddenly stood up, pounced on Qu Zaichen and said angrily: "It turned out to be you, everything is your design, the eldest brother did not betray us at all, it was you who forced our Song family to a dead end step by step, I killed you, you bastard, you beast, you killed my Song family." ”

Several officials next to him hurriedly grabbed Song Gaozhong, Song Gaozhong struggled violently, and his mouth kept scolding angrily and wanted to pounce on Qu Zaichen.

Inspector Zheng said: "Tie him up and gag him." ”

The official neatly tied up Song Gaozhong and gagged him.

Zheng observed Shi Dao: "Why can people in the world only see the faults of others, but they can't see their own crimes, Song Gaozhong, you scolded Qu Er Gongzi and forced you to a dead end, your family just wanted to kill more than 20 lives in the official post, are you doing a good deed?" ”

Song Gaoyang was also angry, waiting for Song Gaozhong to say: "Song Gaozhong, you settle down, you can still kill people at this time, do you still have a chance to kill?" How many times have I told you, don't fall for the Qu government's divisive scheme, as long as we don't say it ourselves, it is impossible for the government and the Qu family to find evidence to convict us, have you listened? I told you not to act rashly, and I will talk about it when I come back, have you listened? For such a big thing as burning the official post, you dare to act in a hurry, do you really think that the people in the government and the Qu family are fools, waiting for you to burn it? Even if you do it tonight, are you fools for the government to push officials and arrest fast? With your ability, can you escape the government's investigation, can you escape death? ”

Song Gaoyang paused for a long time and sighed: "How can I have such stupid and ruthless relatives as you, you even want to kill me together?" ”

Everyone in the Song family bowed their heads silently, not daring to look at Song Gaoyang, Song Gaozhong's face also turned red and lowered his head.

Song Gaoyang took a long breath, looked at Qu Zaichen and said, "I've been in a coma, I just woke up, and I didn't walk into the official post with you, how did you deceive them?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "Clothes crown, my attendant Luo Yi is close to you, I asked Luo Yi to change into your clothes and crown, and walked into the official post with us, it was already dark and twilight, Luo Yi deliberately lowered his head, and the people of the Song Mansion could only borrow the lantern light outside the official post to see the shape of the clothes, you have been staying in the Qu Mansion today, they naturally regard Luo Yi as you." ”

Song Gaoyang: "Didn't they want to look at me and say goodbye before they burned the official post?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "Yes, Mrs. Song originally wanted to say goodbye to Song Shilang, and she also wanted to save Song Shilang's life. But if the Song family finds out that Song Shilang is a fake, they will see through our plan, and they may not tell the truth about Song Gaoyuan's killing, so I will send another person to guard outside the official post in advance, if the Song family wants to check Song Shilang's appearance or want to say goodbye, let them think of blocking it. The Song family noticed that there was someone outside the official post, and panicked to set fire to get out as soon as possible, so they didn't have time to check Song Shilang's appearance. ”

Song Gaoyang: "You can stop them when they enter the official post, they have already decided that I betrayed them, and they will betray me and tell the truth about Gao Yuan's killing?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "It's possible, but what if they don't see you and don't say anything?" And arson to the official post, murder of the court officials and many lives, their crimes are unforgivable, if they don't tell the truth about Song Gaoyuan's killing, they are all dead, or they can easily tell the truth. ”

Song Gaoyang: "You took great pains to make the truth about my second brother's killing public, and let the Song family be punished, not to avenge my second brother's grievances, nor for any justice and justice, just to let my Song family be wiped out, right?"

Qu Zaichen: "I am just for justice and justice." ”

Song Gaoyang sneered: "What Qu Er Gongzi said is really righteous and awe-inspiring. Even if you are righteous and righteous, you only respect the justice of the lady alone, right? My Song family and your Qu Mansion have no old grudges, only the Song family and the second young lady's maiden family have a little old grudge twelve years ago, and the second son of Qu will take every step of the way, forcing the Song family to a dead end, just to seek justice for Mrs. Zun? ”

Qu Zaichen stared at Song Gaoyang and said slowly: "Song Gaoyang, ask yourself, did the Song family just bully my wife twelve years ago?" ”

Song Gaoyang was slightly stunned, and looked at Qu Zaichen in surprise and confusion, and Qu Zaichen said in a loud voice: "Bring it in." ”

Everyone turned their heads and saw Luo Yi escorting Sun Meng and Shui Han into the court. Sun Meng and Shui Han saw the two adults in the court, and immediately knelt down in a panic, Qu Zaichen looked at Sun Meng and said lightly: "Sun Meng, the provincial government inspector and the Jinzhou prefect are here, you truthfully tell the two adults, why did you design to be obedient and let her be kidnapped and robbed by the Jiufang Casino, what is your real purpose?" ”

Sun Meng looked up at Zheng Guanshi and was stunned for a moment, and said: "Five days ago, a black-clothed masked man came to me, saying that he knew that I owed two thousand taels of silver to Jiufang Casino, and I was unable to repay it, and the casino was forcing me to collect debts, and he had a way to help me solve the trouble, and he asked me to inform the gambling house that I was willing to sell my wife to pay off the debt, and then take advantage of the insider's water cold and continuation.. No, the relationship with the second young lady of the Qu family, try to get the people in the gambling house to kidnap the second young lady of the Qu family together, and the two debt collectors in the Jiufang casino are extremely lustful, they will definitely bully the second young lady, and then think of selling the second young lady, if the Qu family knows about the bullying of the second young lady casino, even if they don't find the government to seize the casino, they can't spare the gambling house everyone, at that time, the gambling house naturally doesn't dare to ask me to collect debts.

I was very panicked when I heard it, and said that if the Qu family knew that I designed the second young lady Qu, they would not let me go, and the man in black said that if the gambling house kidnapped Shui Han, I saw that the second young lady Qu happened to be unconscious next to Shui Han, according to the temperament of the two debt collectors in the gambling house, I would definitely take the second young lady away, and I could report the second young lady to the Qu family about the second young lady being taken away by the gambling house, so it was an accident for the gambling house to rob the second young lady, and I took the initiative to report the letter, and I still have merit to the Qu family. Even if the Qu family complains, they won't blame me much, but he asked me to find a reason to delay the time to report the news, and he will find someone to keep an eye on the gambling house. After being bullied by the people in the gambling house, he told me to go to Qu's house to report the news.

I was still panicking and hesitating, and the man in black said that if I did this, not only would my gambling debts be paid off, but he would also give me another thousand taels of silver to make me rich, but if I didn't agree, I would have to wait for the casino debt collectors to beat me to death.

I thought about telling the Qu family about this and asking for some silver taels, but the man in black seemed to be able to see through my thoughts, he said that even if I told the Qu family what he said, the Qu family would not believe it without evidence, and if I dared to betray him, he promised to make my life worse than death, and I would not dare to go to the Song family to report the news.

But I really have no silver to repay the gambling debts, and the gambling house is urgent, I have no other way but to promise him, the man in black gave me five hundred taels of silver first, and said that he would give me five hundred taels after the matter is completed, and he said that I had better do what I say, otherwise he will not let me go, and then left.

I pondered the strategy that the man in black said for one night, and lured the second young lady of the Qu family to my house, so that she was in a coma with Shui Han, no matter what, I need the help of my inner Shui Han. I skipped the matter of the man in black, and discussed with Shui Han about using the power of the Qu family to pay off the gambling debts, I said that after the people in the gambling house robbed Shui Han and the second young lady Qu, I would immediately notify the Qu family to save people, Shui Han and the second young lady will be fine, only a false alarm, maybe the Qu family will be able to pay off the debt for the sake of me saving the second young lady Qu, so that we can live a good life, Shui Han hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.

Later, we followed the plan, and after the people in the gambling house robbed Shui Han and the second young lady Qu that day, I deliberately fell to the ground, pretending to be unconscious, and delayed the time to report to Qufu. Unexpectedly, the second son of Qu still knew about the robbery of the second lady of Qu, and rushed to the gambling house in time to save the second young lady. Although Gongzi Qu said that he would not pursue our faults that day, but the matter was not done, the second young lady of Qu was safe and sound, I was worried that the man in black would find trouble with me, and left Jinzhou in a hurry with the cold that night, who expected to be stopped by the second young lady of Qu halfway. ”

As soon as Sun Meng's words fell, Shui Han stretched out his hand and slapped Sun Meng hatefully, and said angrily: "Sun Meng, you bastard, no wonder I asked you what happened these days, you refused to say it, in order to pay off your gambling debts, you actually did ugly things that ruined people's innocence, you are despicable and shameless, and you are filthy." You didn't expect that I was kidnapped by the people in the gambling house with Congxi, and if you delay the time to go to Qufu to report the news, not only will Congxi be bullied by the people in the gambling house, but I will also be bullied by them? If the second son of Qu arrives later that day, I will die to keep my innocence, have you ever thought about me, what am I in your heart? ”

Sun Meng slapped him hard, lowered his head and said, "I. . . I don't want you to have anything to do, but I really can't help it, if I don't agree to the man in black, and I can't pay off the gambling debts of the gambling house, the people in the gambling house will rob you too, and so will you. can't keep his innocence, and. I. I've thought about it even if you. Without innocence, I won't dislike you. ”

Shui Han was angry, stretched out his hand and slapped Sun Meng angrily: "Sun Meng, you bastard, you are really not a thing, I was really blind at the beginning, how could I take a fancy to such a shameless and despicable thing as you." ”

Sun Meng was aggrieved and dissatisfied: "If I hadn't redeemed myself for you, you would still be a dancing girl now, how well you can live, besides, if it wasn't for you, I would have the money to pay off my gambling debts, and I wouldn't have come to this point." ”

Shui Hanqi said very much: "You. . . If this beast is not as good as this, you can say it. You.. You."

Zheng Guanshi was shocked and said: "This is the public court, Su Jing, Sun Meng, the black-clothed masked man who instructed you to murder the second young lady of the Qu family, do you know who he is, or what characteristics he has?" ”

Sun Meng: "I don't know who he is, and I don't know now, but. I vaguely saw a long vertical scar on his right wrist, and I also told Qu Er Gongzi. ”

Zheng Guanshi thought for a moment and turned his head to look at Governor Li: "I remember you said that Song Gaoyang's attendant He Se also has a long scar on his right wrist?" ”

Governor Li nodded: "Yes, He Se is in prison." ”

Zheng Guanshi said loudly: "Come on, bring He Se to the court." ”

A servant responded: "Yes." ”
