When he arrived at the temporary court of Lao Baitou's house, the adults were still sitting in the court as usual, but Wang Qiang fell to his knees. The reason for this is so that those who commit crimes are intimidated by the law and dare not be unscrupulous.

"Smack!" the prefect slapped the startled wood hard, and shouted at Wang Qiang, the person kneeling in the hall: "Wang Qiang, this mansion has a few questions to ask you, and you tell the truth." If there is half a lie, the punishment will be served!"

Wang Qiang hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare. ”

The prefect was very satisfied with Wang Qiang's taming, and then asked, "Do you know the deceased old white head?"

Wang Qiang said: "I know, the villain had an argument with him a few months ago. ”

Seeing that Wang Qiang did not hide his holiday with the old white head, the prefect nodded slightly, and then asked, "Where were you at the time of the crime? Who testified?"

Wang Qiang didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to come: "Back to the adult, the villain was sleeping at home at that time, and his wife is the witness." ”

Wang Qiang replied very naturally, and he didn't seem to see any suspicion in him. The prefect was about to ask another question, when he saw the little fat man in the hall glaring at him. The prefect was puzzled in his heart and said, "Zhu Xiaopang, you come up, this mansion has something to tell you!"

When the little fat man heard this, he knew that the adults had already seen his eyes, so he took a few steps, stepped over the desk, walked to the prefect's side, and said, "My lord, what is the matter with you looking for a lowly position?"

The prefect also cooperated very well with the little fat man and said: "You attach your ears, this mansion has a secret message to tell." ”

The little fat man lowered his head, and in full view of everyone, he talked with the prefect in a whisper. After a while, I saw that the prefect's face changed greatly, and he nodded at the little fat man and said, "You go down first." ”

"Obey!" the little fat man answered, and walked down the high platform of the prefect.

The prefect glanced around at the crowd, and from his eyes, there seemed to be a wave of anger. I don't know what the little fat man was discussing with the prefect just now, which can make the prefect so angry?

"Smack!" the prefect slapped the startled wood hard, and shouted: "Wang Qiang, are you guilty?" As he spoke, the prefect's two eyes were like copper bells, glaring at Wang Qiang angrily.

Wang Qiang was so frightened by the prefect that he trembled, prostrated on the ground, and said loudly: "The villain is stupid, I don't know what crime he has committed, please speak clearly." ”

The prefect said: "Okay, you are Wang Qiang, you are clever and skillful, and this mansion was almost deceived by you." Fortunately, I am not a vegetarian in this house, and I already know that the death of the old white head was all done by you!"

When Wang Qiang heard this, he was terrified and said, "My lord, you can't wronged a good person! If you say that the old king was killed by a villain, is there any evidence?"

"Evidence?" the prefect sneered twice and said, "Okay, then the government will tell you where your flaws are today!"

The prefect glanced at Wang Qiang and everyone in the audience, and then said, "Today, I asked the little fat man and Jin Bufu to go to your house. At that time, Jin Bufu just told you that the old white head was dead, and you could tell that it was not you who killed him. So, let me ask you, how do you know that the old white head was killed by someone, and not by suicide or by natural cause?"

When Wang Qiang heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he saw his eyes gurgling, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his forehead. But he still did not admit to killing the old white head, and distinguished himself: "My lord, you can't just think that the villain killed him based on this sentence! And I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public!"

When the prefect saw Wang Qiang's dead duck's hard mouth, he just didn't admit it. So, he continued: "Okay, you Wang Qiang, you are dying, and you are still arguing with reason." Well, I'll tell you one more thing, where is the biggest flaw in your words today!"

Wang Qiang thought that the prefect was bluffing himself, and stared at the prefect in disbelief without speaking.

The prefect said, "Do you remember, just now the government asked you, where were you at the time of the crime?"

Wang Qiang was puzzled, he didn't know what was wrong with his words, and he forcibly distinguished: "Yes, at that time, the villain was indeed at home!"

"Smack!" the prefect slapped the wood in surprise and reprimanded loudly: "What nonsense! Has the prefect told you the time of the old white head's crime?"

As soon as the prefect's words fell, Wang Qiang's face suddenly turned like earth, like a pile of mud, and he collapsed to the ground. He now finally understands the flaw in his words. Now, it's up to him to tell. Wang Qiang had no choice but to confess truthfully, it turned out that after the last time he had a quarrel with Lao Baitou, he had always held a grudge. Last night, he went to the old whitehead's house with a big stick and knocked on the door. The old white head heard a knock on the door, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Wang Qiang, who was fierce and vicious. Before the old white head could call out, Wang Qiang raised the big wooden stick and hit the old white head on the forehead. The old white head took this blow, did not say a word, and fell to the ground. Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to test the old white head's snort, and after confirming that he was dead, he hurriedly left with a big wooden stick. After returning home, Wang Qiang dug a pit in the corner of the wall and buried the wooden stick in the soil. At that time, his wife was doing needlework, thinking that Wang Qiang was going to the toilet, and did not suspect much.

Now, Wang Qiang has confessed. The prefect appointed two arresters, and in Wang Qiang's house, the murder weapon was also found. The facts are there, sign and draw, just wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading.

This matter is also over, and after the prefect has dealt with it, he will go home. Before going back, the prefect gave a thumbs up to the little fat man. It turned out that all these flaws were seen through by the little fat man, and told the prefect when he was talking to each other. In the face of the prefect's appreciation, the little fat man smiled in return.

In this blink of an eye, most of the day has passed. By the time the case was heard, it was noon. After the group arrested Wang Qiang and put him in prison, they prepared to go to lunch. When the little fat man was struggling to go there for dinner, Mei Yun suddenly stopped him. The little fat man was puzzled, and Mei Yun said embarrassedly: "Little fatty, I think I'm very close to you." I'll invite you to dinner today, and if you can afford to look up to your brother, give your brother this face. ”

Mei Yun said everything to this, if the little fat man refuses again, the two of them may not be able to talk in the future. So, the little fat man nodded and agreed, and followed Mei Yun to a restaurant. The two of them went up to the second floor and found a place near the window to sit down.

ordered a few side dishes and asked for a pot of wine, and the two chatted while drinking. It is said that it is easy to do things in the wine field, and it is said that the gambling feelings are getting weaker and weaker, and the drinking feelings are getting stronger and stronger. After three wines and five flavors, the more the two talked, the more they talked. What the world, what the world, the conversation is laughing. was chatting to the fullest, Mei Yun's smiling face suddenly cooled down. The smile seemed to suddenly freeze on his face. For some reason, the little fat man followed his gaze and looked out. I saw a handsome boy walking on the street, dressed in light white clothes and holding a folding fan. This boy brother seems to have a smile on his face all the time, but this smile always seems to have a feeling of lightness.

The little fat man was very surprised by Mei Yun's expression, and said, "Brother Mei, do you know him?"

Mei Yun stared at the man intently, gritted her teeth and said, "Su Qiu, I know him when he turns to ashes!"

The little fat man suddenly realized that this man was Su Qiu, the person who fell in love with Mei Yun, that is, Su Shangshu's son, and the knife would be the second master. The little fat man sighed secretly in his heart, this Su Qiu is powerful and handsome, and he is a veritable rich second-generation official. On the other hand, Mei Yun is just an ordinary family, his parents are all farmers, and he is not the same as Su Qiu at all!

The little fat man didn't know how to comfort Mei Yun, so he had to raise his glass and say, "Brother Mei, there is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower." Come, dry this wine!"

After listening to the little fat man's words, Mei Yun retracted his gaze, picked up the wine glass in front of him, touched it with the little fat man, and drank it all with his head up. Before Mei Yun could put down his wine glass, he heard a commotion on the street. The little fat man also heard it, turned his head to look, and saw a young woman wearing filial piety clothes on the street, rushing to Su Qiu, with a crying voice, and said loudly: "Su Qiu, I fought with you!"

When Mei Yun looked at the woman, her face changed greatly, and she blurted out: "Feng Ling!"

Only then did the little fat man understand that the one wearing filial piety clothes was the woman Feng Ling that Mei Yun liked. I saw that Su Qiu dodged Feng Ling's sword and grabbed her hand holding the sword with her backhand. Push her hard, and scold in her mouth: "Slut!"

Feng Ling was pushed down by Su Qiu and staggered to the ground, and could only watch Su Qiu walk away. There were some onlookers next to him, pointing and pointing at the side, but no one came up to ask. First, I was afraid of the power of the Su Qiu family, and second, the Feng family was too powerful, and the relationship with the people in the city was not very good. So, no one turned out to help. Feng Ling stared blankly at Su Qiu's disappearing figure, gritting her teeth and being helpless. In desperation, she fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Suddenly, Feng Ling felt that someone was patting her on the shoulder, and she looked up and saw that it was Mei Yun. Mei Yun cried and said loudly, "What are you doing here?

Mei Yun didn't answer Feng Ling's question, but said anxiously, "Why are you wearing filial piety clothes?

Before Feng Ling could answer, someone next to her interjected: "This is not the place to talk, let's find a secluded place!"

Mei Yun looked back and saw that it was the little fat man who came over. It turned out that after Mei Yun hurriedly went downstairs, the little fat man called the shopkeeper, and after paying the money, he also walked out.

Mei Yun nodded and helped Feng Ling up. Although Feng Ling is still crying, she has not rejected Mei Yun. With his support, he followed the little fat man.
