Chapter Twenty-Three: Judging the Grapes

And the reason why he wanted this age group, Su Xiu also considered it in depth.

Since the crown, between 25 and 25, most people will choose to study and go for a good future.

In other words, people of this age, except for soldiers, are mostly idle clouds and wild cranes in the Chu State, and they are at home every day and have nothing to do.

Then only these people have the time to commit the crime, so Su Xiu chose the age of the person who came for questioning at this stage.

After a while, all the young adults between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five in Zhangzhuang gathered around the door of Zhang Laohanjia.

There were twenty or so people who came.

This number of people is a lot in a remote village in Chu State.

After everyone arrived, Su Xiu set up a chair and made it under the grape trellis.

He pointed to the grapes and said, "Grapes, grapes, in broad daylight, someone dares."

Murder in front of you, why don't you care, how dare you not say it? Today, if you dare to shield the murderer, I will destroy you

Grape trellises, burn you all in one fire! ”

When he had finished speaking, he leaned over to the trellis and listened to it for a while.

Then he told everyone in a serious way: "Okay, the grapes have told me, and he said, the murderer is among you, who."

Don't go, sir, I'm going to interrogate them one by one! ”

After that, Su Xiu's eyes were fixed on the two dozen people in front of him.

These people have different demeanors, some are different, some are timid, and most of them are confused.

But most of the people at the scene were puzzled.

Can he really interrogate grapes?

So, Su Xiu ordered the servants to block the door of Zhang Laohan's house, sit in the middle of the courtyard by himself, and let more than 20 young people obey him one by one

Walk in front of you.

As I walked, I found a young man, who looked like he was about twenty-two or three, with a hurried expression and a flustered demeanor, and he was originally quite handsome

A piece of her pretty face was broken.

Su Xiu hurriedly ordered someone to hold it, and he took out the flesh skin in the finger cover of the female corpse just now from the paper bag and put it on the man's face

I compared.

The broken piece of flesh was similar in shape to the man's face, just the right size.

Su Xiu made up his mind in his heart, and estimated that the person in front of him was the one who committed the murder!

"Okay, this time, I'll judge you!"

As soon as the man heard this, his already panicked heart suddenly panicked, and cold sweat ran down the back of his neck, flowing wildly.

Before Su Xiu could speak, he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Adult, the villain is wronged!"

Su Xiu looked at the man in front of him coldly and said, "You were wronged before I spoke?" Who are you, where do you live, what is your name?

Who? ”

The man was startled by what Su Xiu said, and hurriedly replied: "Chen Xiaoer, a villain, lives in the southeast of Zhangzhuang. ”

"Where are you today?"

The man hurriedly replied: "Today, the little one is sleeping at home. ”

Su Xiu continued to ask: "Can anyone testify?" ”

"There is no witness, my parents died early, and I have not yet married a wife, and there is only one person in the family."

Su Xiu's eyes widened angrily, and he looked directly at Chen Xiaoer.

"Nonsense, when you are young, you are clearly idle, walking in the village, and seeing the girl of Zhang Laohan's family is smart, I am moved!"

The man's cold sweat ran down his head, but he still stiffened his mouth: "No, adult, no, small wrong." ”

Su Xiu looked at the madman wagging his tail and begging for mercy in front of him and said, "Wronged? Hmph, it seems that you won't be able to recruit if you don't hit you with a forty board. ”

"Left and right, drag Chen Xiaoer down for me and beat him hard for forty ...... No, eighty boards! ”

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as Chen Xiaoer heard this, he was going to beat himself to death, so he hurriedly bowed his head and confessed.

"Don't, don't fight, my lord, I'll move, I'll recruit all."

Chen Xiaoer fell to his knees, and said the ins and outs of this matter weakly.

The ins and outs of the whole thing were exactly the same as Su Xiu expected.

This Chen Xiaoer is a bachelor in this village, because he has nothing to do, wandering in the village, he saw that the girl of Zhang Laohan's family has a bit of a look,

When he saw the lust, he was born to the side of the bold, and he wanted to use force on other girls.

The girl did not agree, and the two writhed together, and the girl's strength was not as strong as that of the young man, but the girl's nails were long and scratched

The young man slapped his face, and also kicked Chen Xiaoer's second child.

Chen Xiaoer was angry, and strangled the girl to death by mistake.

When he got up and saw that the girl was dead, he knew that something was going on, and he was frightened, so he hurried home and closed the door.

If it weren't for the official who went to his house to arrest him, Chen Xiaoer would still be hiding at home at this time, not going out of the gate, and not entering the second door.

After catching the prisoner, Su Xiu and the others prepared to go home.

As soon as they walked out of Zhang Laohan's house, the two men pounced, knelt down in front of Su Xiu, and asked him to try the case.

These two were the crowd of onlookers just now, and when they saw Su Xiu relying on interrogating grapes, they caught the murderer, and they were shocked in their hearts

There has always been a matter with his neighbor Zhang San, but it has not been resolved, so he knelt on the ground and begged the adult to break it.

The master looked at the two people in front of him, and acted so hastily and not according to the rules, so he arrived: "If there is a case, go to the yamen to beat the drum, now."

I'm tired and ready to rest! ”

When he had said that, he made a gesture to drive people away.

At this time, Su Xiu's voice sounded from behind: "Forget it, why do you go to a useless process, since you have encountered it, let's say it." ”

One of the two kneeling men spoke first.

After the two of you said a word, Su Xiu could understand the general course of the matter.

At the end of last year, this Zhang San planted a gourd under the root of the wall, and this gourd was like a creeper, climbing vines and climbing to

Li Sijia's side.

As for Li Si, it happened that a closed jar was placed under the wall, and by coincidence, this little gourd happened to fall

And in this closed jar there was a gourd in that jar.

In the end, the gourd grew up, and Zhang San wanted to take away the gourd, but who knew that the gourd was big and the jar mouth was small, just a little bit

Can't take it out.

Li Si asked Zhang San to split the gourd and ask for his own jar.

Zhang San, let Li Si smash the jar in exchange for a gourd for himself, neither of these two people can convince anyone.

Because of this incident, the already not friendly neighborhood relationship made it even worse, and the two also quarreled for several days over this matter, no

conclusions.

At this time, the two also fell to their knees, arguing with each other.

Li Si knelt on the ground, waved his hands and called: "My lord, you are decisive, please call the shots!" ”

Zhang San yelled at Li Si: "Who told you to put the jar under the wall?" ”

Li Si also called out without giving in: "Who let your gourd climb into our yard by yourself." ”

All of a sudden, the two of them were arguing endlessly.

The master said impatiently: "Okay, you two, who do you listen to?" If you want me to say that you two are generous

Son, if you don't give up a jar, or split the gourd, what a big deal? ”
