Daming King of Punishment

"What!" Zhang San, who was very happy beside him, thought that Wang Wu would kill and eat the meat after admitting to stealing his own cow, and buried the cowhide in the backyard, but he didn't expect Wang Wu to say such a thing. When the incident happened, he immediately screamed, and sat down on the ground paralyzed in fright, his face turned pale immediately.

"Come on! Take this murderer down for me!" Situ Yi was shocked, and immediately reacted, and immediately angrily shouted.

The yamen servants on both sides immediately stepped forward and pushed Wang Wu to the ground.

Wang Wu roared loudly: "My lord, I am wronged! I did not kill people, I did not kill them."

"You didn't kill the man, so why did you bury him in the backyard and keep silent?" Seeing that Wang Wu was still trying to argue, Situ Yi immediately asked sharply, "If it wasn't for Zhang San's family losing a cow, I'm afraid I'd let you kill him." Get away with it!"

Situ Yi didn't listen to Wang Wu's justification, so he was immediately detained, and then he called out to everyone, "Come with me to Wang Wu's house, and dig out the body in the backyard."

A group of people immediately headed out of the city. It was noon, and the outskirts of the city were not too far away, which was the time for a stick of incense.

"Your Majesty, this is Wang Wu's home." Zhang San led the way and directly brought several people into Wang Wu's yard.

After entering the courtyard, Situ Yi looked at the dilapidated courtyard and asked Zhang San beside him, "Who else is there in his family?"

"There is only one blind old mother in the family." Zhang San said and brought Situ Yi into the house.

Hearing the movement outside, an old lady with gray hair leaned on a wooden stick, fumbled and walked out the door quickly.

"Who! Don't let anyone enter my yard. If you dare to mess around, I'll kill you here!" The old woman yelled angrily when she heard the voices outside.

Seeing this, Zhang San hurriedly ran to the old woman and said, "Mother, I am Zhang San! Don't do this, the magistrate has come in person. Your son Wang Wu has recruited everything in the court, my lord." He came to dig up that body in the backyard."

After hearing Zhang San's words, the old lady was immediately discouraged, and she sat down on the ground leaning against the door, crying and shouting: "Master Zhifu! My son is greedy for money for a while, and I beg you Let it go!"

"So, it really is Wang Wu who killed people for the sake of money." Situ Yi was surprised when he heard the old woman's words.This is his own mother, under normal circumstances, she would never frame her son for no reason.

Situ Yi stepped forward to help the old woman up, took a deep breath and said: "Old man, I will definitely investigate this case and give an explanation to the deceased. I will never let the murderer go, and I will never wrong the good person." .”

The old woman was already crying unbearably, Song Wuya didn't pay any attention to it, and led people directly to the back of Wang Wu's house.

Without Zhang San's guidance, Situ Yi saw something strange in the grass at a glance.Immediately walked over quickly, and sure enough, there was a large area of ​​damage to the grass, and it had been rested as expected.

Situ Yi suddenly made a gesture, and the servants who followed immediately stepped forward and hoeed the grass completely.Sure enough, they saw the refurbished soil, and without waiting for Situ Yi's order, several yamen servants immediately dug up the soil with the tools they brought.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the corpse buried under the soil.The body was dug out, and it was already a little smelly.Wu Zuo stepped forward, looked at the spots on the skin of the corpse, and considering the degree of decay, he concluded that this person had been dead for about two to three days.

Situ Yi frowned, and he immediately ordered the assistant to take the body back, and then said to the other yamen servants, "Search Wang Wu's house carefully, so as not to miss any clues."

Now, this matter still needs Wang Wu to explain the situation.He came to the front yard, looked at the old woman who had stopped crying and asked.

"Old man, who is the deceased?" Situ Yi just asked casually, since he is blind, he may not be able to know if he asks.

However, after listening to his question, the old woman said directly: "Old woman, I only know that he is a passer-by. The time of his journey was wrong. It happened that the city gate was closed and he was stopped outside the city. That's why he came to our house to stay overnight." , As for the rest, my son entertained me, the old lady, I don't know."

As Situ Yi expected, the old woman didn't know the reason.Thinking of this, he stopped asking any more questions immediately, and followed the suppression to the house.

The house was dilapidated, and there were only a few rooms that could be lived in. Situ Yi went into the house and looked at it carefully several times.

"Why is this window broken?" Suddenly, Situ Yi saw that the paper on the window of one of the rooms was broken, and he walked up to him immediately. After looking around, he immediately judged: "This seems to be broken by something from outside." of!"

This room is not big, the window is just such a hole, it looks extraordinarily abrupt, and it looks very awkward.

Chapter 1 Who is the dead

?Chapter 1 Who is the deceased?

"My lord, I haven't found anything."

While Situ Wen was checking the hole in the window, the yamen servants came to report that they had checked the whole house inside and out, and found no clues.

Situ Yi frowned and said, "Go home."

As he said that, he walked out of the house first, and when he came to the outside of the house and walked out of the courtyard, he couldn't help but look back, but saw that although Wang Wu's house was dilapidated, the window paper on these houses was very dirty. Clean and tidy, a few dilapidated places have also been carefully repaired, and there are no dilapidated places.

"It's not right!" Situ Yi looked at the situation and immediately felt that the hole in the window was very problematic.

Immediately, he turned around and came to the window, looked carefully from the outside several times, but found nothing.

At this moment, he could only helplessly shake his head and leave.

After returning to the government office, it was already afternoon, and Situ Yi immediately opened the court to interrogate Wang Wu.

"Take people to commit Wang Wu!" Situ Yi slapped the alarm, and Wang Wu was escorted to the hall. He had already changed into a prison uniform and put on shackles.

Wang Wu's face was dull, and he stared blankly ahead, looking disheartened.

"Wang Wu, I went to your house before and dug up the male corpse. Your sixty-year-old mother told me that you killed the guests who stayed at your house out of money. Plead guilty?"

Situ Yi yelled and asked, Wang Wu slowly raised his head, and he looked at Situ Yi with his dull eyes for a long time before he said: "Master Zhifu! I didn't kill him, I buried him, but It's just trying to embezzle his property."

"Are you still arguing? Didn't you kill the person? Then who would kill it?" Situ Yi frowned and asked Wang Wu coldly.

Wang Wu shook his head and said nothing more.Situ Yi's frown was almost twisted into a twist.He hesitated for a moment, pondered for a while, and then asked Wang Wu: "Since you said that you didn't kill the man, then you should tell me the whole story exactly."

His eyes, which were originally cloudy like the eyes of a fish, suddenly shone with brilliance.Hearing Situ Yi's words, Wang Wu regained his energy, kowtowed to the ground and shouted loudly, "Master Zhifu, you finally believe me."

"Don't be too happy, I don't believe you. Since you insist on saying that you didn't kill this person, I'll listen to what you say. I will judge whether it's true or not." Situ Yi Leng He said something with a straight face.

But that Wang Wu's enthusiasm remained undiminished, and he immediately started to tell the story.

It turned out that it was just three nights ago.Because the paddy fields in the village were changed to dry fields, Wang Wu didn't come back from the fields until evening.He was the only labor force in his family, and he had to serve his blind mother, so he made dinner after he came back, and he ate something after feeding his mother.It was precisely because of this that the time was delayed. Seeing that the lights in other people's houses were all dark, he was ready to go to bed.

Just as he was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on the courtyard door.There are very few villagers who come to Wang Wu's house on weekdays, and I don't know who it is in the middle of the night.However, Wang Wu thought at the time that he must be someone from the village, and it was probably something urgent that came to him at this time.He immediately ran out regardless of fatigue.

Wang Wu came to the door and was about to open the courtyard door, but when he heard no movement outside, he hesitated for a moment, stopped his hands and asked outside, "Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm a passer-by, and I'm going to Songjiang Mansion. Who knows, I just happened to catch up with the closing of the city gate. When I came, I saw some people here, so I came here to stay. I just didn't expect that the people in this village were all The lights are out, so I came to disturb your house. In this late autumn season, the night is really cold enough. I really can't bear it, or I will sleep under the gate of the city. I hope you can make it easy, tomorrow morning I'll leave."

There was a passerby outside the door, who said a lot of words and begged Wang Wu to take him in for a night.

Wang Wu is usually a kind person. If the folks in the village have a favor and find him, if he can help, he will definitely not refuse.At this moment, after a little thought, he opened the courtyard door.

Outside the door was a middle-aged man, wearing a long robe, he was by no means a shabby man, and Wang Wu, a countryman, couldn't match him.

"Thank you, little brother, thank you very much, little brother." The man was very polite and thanked Wang Wu repeatedly.

Wang Wu looked outside the door and saw that he was alone, so he invited him into the courtyard.After closing the courtyard door, he took him to the room and brought him a worn-out bedding.

"Poor people don't have decent bedding, so you just make do with it." Wang Wu said shyly.

The man quickly waved his hand: "Where is it, what is it. If you are willing to keep me, that is my blessing. What else can I dislike? There is a house and bedding here, which is infinitely better than sleeping on the ground with the sky covered Woolen cloth!"

Wang Wu was also amused by this man's words, and he immediately said: "I won't ask you if you have eaten. I don't have anything to give you to eat at home."

"No, no, little brother, you should rest early." The man still had a smile on his face.
