Chapter 252: Epilogue VII
"Dang", Mu Yirong knocked on the shocking wood, and asked Shen Tou'er what grievances and hatred did Shen Tou'er have with Heming Daochang, Yuhuaxian, and the banker's girl, and why did they put the three to death?
Mu Yirong's voice was very thick, with the majesty of the god of justice, Shen Tou'er's heart trembled for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, and looked at Mu Yirong with a very firm gaze.
"Lord Squire, the villain is a good gambler, and he owes a lot of gambling debts and is unable to repay them. Hearing that Daoist Heming was a disciple of the Protector Immortal Master, he defrauded him of money and then killed him. It's just that he didn't admit it, and Daoist Heming mentioned to Yu Huaxian that he gave money to the villain. This year, you came to investigate the death of the Heming Dao Chief, and Yu Huaxian suspected the villain. The villain, fearing that she would be the first villain, strangled her to death and took the gold leaf hairpin from her head. The death of the dealer girl was purely accidental, the villain and his wife had no feelings, and wanted to elope with the dealer girl to stay and fly, but she unfortunately fell into the river, the villain was worried about being suspected, and was involved in the previous case, so he put the shoes of the two of us on the bank of the river, and pretended to jump into the river to die, so that the yamen would no longer investigate this matter. ”
Shen Tou'er's confession immediately caused an uproar, as if Zhuang Laohan, who had just been rescued from drowning, broke free from the support of others, and rushed to Shen Tou'er at once, beating Shen Tou'er while scolding Shen Tou'er for being a brute who could not be saved when he saw death.
Hou Hu and Hou Monkey hurriedly stepped forward to stop them again, and Zhuang Laohan, who was almost out of breath in one breath, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and pointed at Shen Tou'er with trembling hands and pleaded with Mu Yirong: "My lord, please cut off his head and avenge Xiao Lao'er's daughter." ”
"Yes, not killing is not enough to outrage the people. ”
Hearing that Shen Tou'er had killed three people one after another, the crowd suddenly became excited, and the sound of the trial to cut Shen Tou'er resounded throughout the county yamen.
Some parents who came with their children shouted and cut off Shen Tou'er's head, while protecting their children tightly in their arms, as if the children were a little farther away from them, they would be captured by Shen Tou'er, the murderous devil.
The voice shouting to deal with Shen Tou'er strictly was better than wave after wave, and the county commander Cheng Yuanxiang stood up and waved his hand, signaling everyone to silence.
"The adults came to Lantian County to investigate this case and give justice to the innocent people who died. ”
After Cheng Yuanxiang finished speaking, he saluted Mu Yirong: "Lord Shilang, the case has been clarified, please hand Shen Touer over to the next official to be taken into custody and imprisoned, and escorted to Beijing the next day." ”
"Who said the case was over?"
Ruicao glared at Cheng Yuanxiang angrily, and Mu Yirong also nodded in agreement: "There are still many unclear points in this case, and they still need to be carefully investigated." ”
The county magistrate Cheng Yuanxiang's face was exposed to two red faces by the scorching sun, and he was as alive as a clown on the stage, he had a bitter face, and said that Shen Tou'er had already pleaded guilty to the law, where is there still a place to interrogate?
After speaking, he looked at the criminal department Shangshu Liu Shicheng for help.
Liu Shicheng was also sunburned like a boiled shrimp, not only his face and neck were red, but his body was also bubbling with white gas, as if the big bun that had just come out of the cage was about to be completely cooked.
The handkerchief that Liu Shicheng used to wipe his sweat was wet and wrung out, and then wet and wrung out again, and so on and over again, I don't know how many times.
If it weren't for the Nineteenth Prince sitting here, he would have found various excuses such as and urine to escape, and where would he still sit stupidly under the sun and suffer this old sin.
"Cheng County's order is right, since the murderer has pleaded guilty to the law, there is no need to continue to waste time. As he spoke, he got up, straightened the clothes that were glued to his body, and bowed to the Nineteenth Prince.
"Lord Wang, it's hot, please ......"
Before Liu Shicheng's words were finished, the nineteenth prince suddenly unfolded his fan, and the years were quietly fanning the wind.
"This king is not hot. ”
Of course, the nineteenth prince will not feel hot, beside him, there are two girls to help him fan the wind, hand him ice drinks, and there are palace guards behind him to help hold parasols, just like watching a play in a summer resort, leisurely.
The nineteenth prince glanced at Shen Liangliang, and then looked at Shen Tou'er who was kneeling on the ground: "Mu Shilang said that you can't explain clearly, and this prince thinks the same." I don't think you should be beheaded in a hurry, but you should make everything clear!"
In this world, where is there anyone who dislikes his long life and rushes to die!
Shen Tou'er bowed his head and was silent, and Shen Liangliang, who was standing on the side, stepped forward to salute the nineteenth prince: "Lord, standing for a long time, the scorching sun is unbearable, if there is no villain's business, the villain wants to retire first." ”
The nineteenth prince pointed at Mu Yirong with a fan: "You go or stay, Mu Shilang has the final say." ”
Shen Liangliang frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Mu Yirong, and was about to open his mouth, but Mu Yirong stretched out his hand to stop him.
Mu Yirong looked majestic and upright, and looked at Shen Tou'er: "You said that you defrauded the silver taels from Daoist Heming, but how many are you, and you can have an IOU? You also said that when Yuhua Immortal was humiliated, he strangled him to death as a suicide disguise." But how did you know that Yuhua Immortal would be humiliated that day? Also, everyone said that you and the Shen family had a deep relationship with the husband and wife, and there were never rumors that you were too close to the woman. If it weren't for the fact that someone bumped into you and the dealer girl in a carriage out of the city that day, no one would have known that the two of you had dealings. So, since when did the two of you start to secretly communicate with each other? And since the dealer girl accidentally fell into the water, how can the wound on her foot be explained?"
Mu Yirong threw out a series of questions, which stunned Shen Tou'er at once, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Liangliang.
Shen Tou'er probably used all his cleverness to sense the danger and escape that time, Shen Liangliang couldn't help but secretly scolded Shen Tou'er for being extremely stupid, how could he find such a brainless person in the first place.
Shen Liangliang twisted his head, not wanting to pay attention to Shen Tou'er anymore, Shen Tou'er had no choice, he made up his own head and stumbled answer.
"The chief of the crane song gave the villain fifty taels of silver. ”
"You kill someone for fifty taels?"
Shen Tou'er lowered his head in Mu Yirong's aggressive tone and eyes: "Lord Shilang is not short of money, I don't know that fifty taels of silver is already an astronomical amount for ordinary people, enough to crush a family. ”
"Although fifty taels is not a small amount, it is nothing to the head of the Shen family, who has a lot of money. If you are willing to ask him for help, the official will think that he is above the relationship between master and servant, and he will not fail to lend a hand. Why would you kill a human life? You must know that you only need to repay a debt, but if you kill someone, you have to pay for your life. For a mere fifty taels, your life was lost, such a loss-making transaction, no matter how it is calculated, is too cost-effective, but why do you want to make such a loss-making transaction?"
