114. Open the coffin
Now that Zhang Qing is fine, Li Shanqing can do what he should do without distraction.
"Master Guan, it's him," Li Shanqing pointed directly at Zhang Dafu, "He is one of the masterminds who killed my mother-in-law, and after his death, in order to hide the truth of the matter, he buried my mother-in-law early, claiming that my mother-in-law died of illness." ”
"Arrest me. ”
The official brought Li Shanqing here, not only to ask Li Shanqing to lead the way, but also to hope that Li Shanqing could identify who was the murderer.
"What are you doing? let go of me, let go of my ......"
When Zhang Dafu saw the officers and soldiers, he felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around to run, he was caught, and he couldn't run at all, and finally he was caught by the officers and soldiers and brought to the front of the official.
"Are you sure it's him?"
The official asked again, asking Li Shanqing to confirm.
"It's him, and the other mastermind is his wife, who should still be at home. ”
Li Shanqing didn't need to look at it to know that it was Zhang Dafu, and after confirming that the officers and soldiers had arrested Zhang Dafu, he reminded the official that there was another mastermind.
"Li Shanqing, you framed me!!"
Zhang Dafu naturally couldn't admit this crime, and when he saw that it was Li Shanqing who led the troops to arrest him, he pounced fiercely, eager to bite off a piece of meat on Li Shanqing's body to relieve the hatred in his heart, but the officers and soldiers put their heads on the ground and stopped his actions.
"Xiaomin Zhang Liangdong has seen the old man Qingtian. ”
When Zhang Liangdong heard movement in the village, he hurried over, and finally arrived when Li Shanqing led people to arrest Wang Zhaodi.
"You are ---"
The official didn't know who Zhang Liangdong was at all, so he asked.
"Master Guan, he is one of the clan elders of Zhangjia Village, if you want to open the coffin for autopsy this time, you still have to get the consent of the clan elders, so that the villagers will not make trouble. ”
Li Shanqing opened his mouth to explain the importance of Zhang Liangdong to the official master.
"It turns out that you are one of the clan elders in this village, and now the official wants to investigate a case of a son and daughter-in-law teaming up to kill their biological mother, because the deceased has been dead for many years and has been buried, this time to find out the truth needs to open the coffin for an autopsy, I don't know if the clan elder can make it convenient." ”
The official also knows that if the clan elders of Zhangjia Village do not agree to this matter, it may not be so easy to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, after all, people have already entered the earth, and if they have not yet entered the ground, it can be simpler.
"Zhang Qing and Li Shanqing have already told me about this matter, and the villagers in our village will do their best to help you solve the case. ”
Zhang Liangdong had known about this for a long time, and had already informed the people in the village to be cautious in their words and deeds, and never offend the people in the government, so as not to get into trouble when the time comes.
"Master Guan, are you going to arrest Wang Zhaodi?" Zhang Liangdong saw that some officers and soldiers were planning to leave, and the direction seemed to be Zhang Dafu's home, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Naturally, after all, both of them are defendants, and if they don't take them together, if they run away at that time, won't it be unfavorable for the official to handle the case?" replied the official as a matter of course.
"I'll let the people in the village take you over," Zhang Liangdong said, "Since the coffin is going to be opened for an autopsy, it is natural that someone who is a relative needs to go to the grave first, light incense and tell the deceased the ins and outs of the matter, please don't blame her." ”
The official felt that there was really no problem with this, so he relented and agreed to let Zhang Liangdong call someone to lead troops over to arrest Wang Zhaodi, and Li Shanqing and Zhang Qing naturally wanted to go to the grave where Zhang's mother was buried.
The incense was prepared by Zhang Liangdong at the beginning, both Zhang Qing and Li Shanqing were in a hurry to come over, and none of them remembered this rule, so they used the incense prepared by Zhang Liangdong.
After going to the grave to tell all the things, the official man ordered the grave to be dug and the coffin opened, and the whole village came, and everyone wanted to know, how did Zhang's mother die back then?
"No...... Can't open the coffin !!"
Zhang Dafu didn't have any objection at first, not because he didn't want to object, but because the people in the government directly pressed his head to the ground, because of the angle, Zhang Dafu's mouth was also close to the ground, and his mouth was stuffed with mud, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say.
That is, he had just spit out the mud, so that he could speak, and hurriedly shouted.
"You are not allowed to open the coffin, Zhang Qing, that is my mother's grave, do you want her to open the coffin, do you want her soul to be scattered?!!!"
Zhang Dafu knew that at this time, only by letting Zhang Qing change his mind could he prevent the people from the government from opening the coffin for an autopsy.
"Are you really afraid that your mother's soul will be scattered, or are you worried that when the government finds out, you killed your mother?"
Zhang Qing looked at Zhang Dafu, who was covered with mud and looked very embarrassed, and asked suspiciously.
"Let me tell you, since I chose to report to the police today to deal with this matter, I didn't think that this matter could be good, and I had already let it go!!"
After saying these words, Zhang Qing turned around and no longer looked at Zhang Dafu, no matter how Zhang Dafu cursed, Zhang Qing never wavered from beginning to end.
Zhang Dafu looked at Zhang Qing's indifferent appearance, from the vicious swearing at the beginning, to crying and begging for mercy at the end, and then to the end of his heart like ashes.
Because during the period of time when Zhang Dafu was cursing, Zhang's mother's coffin had been dug up.
Zhang Dafu is like a fish out of the water, jumping around from the beginning, to the end of the strength is exhausted, it is difficult to even lift up, if it is not for the officers and soldiers of the government to press, Zhang Dafu can fall directly to the ground.
Looking at Zhang Dafu's current performance, even if the coffin has not been opened for autopsy, everyone knows that what Zhang Qing said is the truth.
Zhang's mother was killed by Zhang Dafu and Wang Zhaodi!!
For a while, everyone present looked at Zhang Dafu with disdain.
This Zhang Dafu is a brute, what a good person Zhang's mother is, if it wasn't for Zhang Dafu's brothers and sisters, as for not remarrying, and staying a widow for a lifetime?
As a result, what a ridiculous joke that the child was raised with all the effort and hard work, only to die at the hands of the child in the end?
When he first bought this coffin, Zhang Dafu nailed the coffin to death by himself, probably because he was worried that the nail was not deep enough, Zhang Dafu nailed it a few more times before nailing the coffin to the ground, leaving no gap, which also gave a lot of trouble to the official who was opening the coffin.
After wasting all the effort, the coffin was finally opened.
As soon as the coffin was opened, everyone took several steps back, and only after making sure that there was no peculiar smell did they stop.
There is no way, Zhang's mother has been dead for so many years, the corpse has long been decomposed, and it is summer now, and there are many mosquitoes, rats and ants, even if it is a nailed coffin, there are still a lot of insects in it.
