Chapter 671: All the clues point to
The courtyard door opened, and Di Ying couldn't care about the surprised look on Qiu Laosi's face who opened the door, and asked directly: "What kind of matchmaker does Mrs. Wang want to help your second sister-in-law protect?" Who's home? What is the last name? ”
Qiu Laosi was asked quite suddenly, and out of instinct and trust in Master Di, he hurriedly replied.
"It's a wealthy businessman in Funing County. The old man was in his sixties and his surname was ...... By the way, it's a compound surname, called Jiagu Lianze.
On that day, Mrs. Wang came to the door for the second time to mention this matter.
The first time I came to mention it, I was beaten out by my father, but this bad old woman dared to come.
When I came for the second time, my third brother happened to be at home and was about to cut this bad woman with a knife.
Because the old man in Jiagu is a bad person, a bad person, relying on a few stinky money, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil. How could my sister-in-law agree to marry her as a good person......"
"When did he see your second sister-in-law?" Di Ying interrupted Qiu Laosi's words.
Qiu Laosi's brain is also quite flexible, although he was confused when asked, he was not slow to answer at all.
"Maybe he saw it when he went to the countryside to collect rent. It's just that my second sister-in-law didn't mention it. I know this because when I was working in the fields, I had seen the old man swaggering to his grange with a bunch of dogs. His grange is just south of the fields of our village. That's a big piece of it. ”
Di Ying understood.
If Qiu Laosi has seen Jiagu Lianze in his own field, then Jiagu Lianze may have seen the second sister-in-law of the Qiu family who also works in the Qiu family's field.
The second sister-in-law of the Qiu family is very good, so it attracted Jiagu Lianze to lust.
But why didn't he rob it, and he deliberately asked a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage? Didn't you say that this person bullied men and women?
Di Ying turned her head and asked about Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was already so frightened that her fat was trembling all over her body at this time, and when she heard Qiu Laosi mention Jiagu Lianze, she nodded her head like a fat chicken peck.
immediately confessed that he had received five taels of silver from Jiagu Lianze before helping to come to Qiu's family. said that after the matter was completed, the old man of Jiagu would give himself a red seal of ten taels of silver.
As for the rest, Mrs. Wang didn't know anything.
Di Ying returned to the city and went to find Jiagu Lianze.
didn't use any tricks, and the old man in Jiagu went weak on his knees and dropped everything.
Including the bad things he has done over the years, all of them have been abandoned.
When asked why he had lust for the second sister-in-law of the Qiu family.
The old man of Jiagu hesitated for a moment before replying: "Once, Xiaomin gave a gift to Lord Changshi, and I heard him mention the second sister-in-law of the Qiu family, and also encouraged Xiaomin to go to the woman to propose marriage, and praise the woman for how good.
After Xiaomin went back, he sent someone to inquire. Sure enough, as Lord Changshi said, she is a rare good woman.
Originally...... Originally, Xiaomin also wanted to rob it, but Xiaomin felt that Lord Changshi would never care about Xiaomin's marriage for no reason, so, so he thought about it more.
I found Mrs. Wang and asked her to find a way to do it.
Who knew that it would cause such a big disaster.
After Qiu Yongshou died, Xiaomin didn't dare to think about it anymore. Plus, Lord Changshi himself died......"
After Di Ying listened, he asked the old man in Jiagu to hand over all the account books he had for bribing court officials before locking him up.
"My lord, I'm just afraid of Yuan Zhenghao's death, and there is something else going on, right? Isn't all this too much of a coincidence? In the end, all the threads focused on him, and he died. ”
At this time, Xie Jing asked.
Di Ying thought so too.
"But it still doesn't make sense, why Yuan Zhenghao is eyeing the Qiu family. Let's assume first: What is the reason for the Qiu family to cause Yuan Zhenghao to kill.
Yuan Zhenghao skillfully used the color heart of Jiagu Lianze and asked the other party to find Wang Pozi to come to the door to propose marriage.
Then Yuan Zhenghao must know that Qiu Yongshou is sick and cannot be stimulated. When Mrs. Wang came to the door to propose, she really angered Qiu Yongshou.
Qiu Yongshou slashed people with a knife. But why is the preference when Yan Kui is passing by? That's a bit too calculated, isn't it?
If Yuan Zhenghao had this brain, he would not have been killed like that, and he would not have been grabbed by the tail by the official.
So, Yan Kui's appearance is really a coincidence, right? Yuan Zhenghao just wants Qiu Yongshou's life, right?
Think about it, if it weren't for Yan Kui's appearance, the crazy Qiu Yongshou would rush out, and he would inevitably hack Wang Pozi to death, right? Then, Qiu Yongshou will be sentenced to prison or something.
Why?
I can't figure it out. If Qiu Yongshou is sentenced to prison......"
Di Ying paused at this point, thinking in his head.
It's a pity that now Yuan Zhenghao, Lu Kairui, and Wu Damei are all dead, and there is no way to get to the bottom of it.
Lu Kairui and Wu Damei have been beheaded, but they are not publicly beheaded. The reason is: Lu Kairui is a good official in everyone's minds.
Regardless of whether he pretended to be or not, at least, he has been pretending to be more than ten years, and he has also pretended to be a hope in the hearts of the people of Luozhou.
Di Ying didn't want to break this hope, but wanted more to maintain, expand, and consolidate again.
Instead of making people no longer dare to trust the government, and question the good and the bad, and their own ability to discriminate, then the harm to the community will be far greater than the public announcement of Lu Kairui's crime.
Sometimes, the purpose of publicizing the crimes of the criminals is to serve as a warning, and it is necessary to be publicly executed; Sometimes, it is better to conceal than to proclaim, and then you have to conceal it.
It's also a trade-off.
For example, if there are too many prisoners to be executed in the autumn in various places, some of them will be concealed.
We can't give the local people an illusion: why do we have so many bad people here?
Then there's no sense of security, isn't it?
Therefore, at most, a few representative criminals who committed the most heinous crimes will be publicly executed, and the rest will be quietly dragged to the execution ground inside the yamen for execution.
The same is true of the executions of Lu Kairui and Wu Damei, if the public does more harm than good, then just behead them internally.
It's just the first time that Di Ying feels that he killed too fast.
Thought everything was figured out, and it turned out ......
And such a thick tail was pulled out again.
The Qiu family rarely even entered the city, Qiu Yongshou was sick, and there must be people around him, and there were almost no people around him when he was released from the village.
How could he be targeted by Yuan Zhenghao?
If you are eyed, why didn't you kill Shen Tu Siyuan, Yu Wenyao, and Ke Yingying? Is it hard?
Do you have to make seventy or eighty turns?
