Datang cat raising hand letter
Chapter 129
Baishuang came in and out several times.
She wrung out the towel in her hand, carefully placed it on the girl's forehead, and then covered her with a thicker blanket.The room is very quiet, Xu Qingqian sent a charcoal basin.Otherwise, according to Lang Jun's usual habits, the house is still tend to be gloomy and cold.
The anger in Bai Shuang's throat was still there, but she finally endured it when she touched the figure standing in the courtyard outside the window.That was Cheng Erding guarding the door, his wide side was enough to give people a deep sense of security.
"Knock Knock-"
Xu Qing sent hot soup and clean towels.
Standing inside the door, Bai Shuang took it, and heard ravings from inside. She didn't care to say a few more words to Xu Qing, and hurriedly turned around with the things.
Xu Qing closed the door, turned around and went to the side room, and said to Mr. Lang who was surrounded by beasts inside: "That girl should be awake."
Yu Yu was leaning against the huge beast, holding a volume of documents he was reading in his hand, and wrapped around his waist was a fluffy tail that refused to leave, and it was this tail that imprisoned him in place.But Yu Yu didn't intend to forcefully leave, and simply relied on the raccoon slave to handle the affairs.Hearing this, he put down the bamboo slips, pinched the center of his brows and said, "Let her rest now, no one is allowed to approach except Bai Shuang."
Xu Qing remembered Lang Jun's tone of warning, and withdrew to give orders.
There was only one person and one beast left in the side room.
Xu Qing was not the only one who was confused about Mr. Dashan before, and even many of the attendants brought by Yu Yu were ignorant of the inside story.It's just that they know that this beast has passed the Ming Road, and was rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to their own lord.With this golden signboard in front, unexplainable traces will always be ignored.
Yu Yu tugged at the tail around his waist, and said helplessly: "I told you to be more careful this afternoon, which is good. Your cry just now may have been heard by the entire yamen." There was no way to cover up the roar, let alone being witnessed by Liu He and Xu Sanshi.
Da Shanzi lazily rested his big head on his overlapping front paws, yawned uninterestedly, and bared his fangs.
Yu Yu reached out to touch it twice, and the sharp teeth hurt the skin of his fingers. He thought of the picture scroll just now, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, "It is said in the county that Shi Zhuang is a stable and polite character, but there is a moment in the prison. I can't help showing my sharpness, do I really think that I am wronging him, or is there something else hidden? If I guess correctly, the girl in the room may be..."
He lowered his voice.
It's not the right thing to be known about.
This is also the reason why Yu Yu kept the people in the courtyard from entering the house.
If things really turned out as he had guessed, it would be a tragedy for both Shizhuang and the girl in the house.And the less people know about the girl's looks and appearance, the better it is for her.
He grabbed the soft cat fur, "It seems that my yard needs to be combed well." Yu Yu was sure that no one would betray him, but betrayal of one's own will and suddenness were two different things.If it wasn't for the loopholes in the courtyard, how did the girl appear in the main room without making a sound?
The raccoon slave lazily bared its fangs.
But all traitors will be killed.
Yu Yu squeezed Mr. Dashan's mouth, and said expressionlessly as if he knew what he was thinking now: "You better don't make trouble for me." He looked at the thin light outside the window, "Hurry up!" It's time, don't you plan to go back?"
He is like a teacher who is diligently chasing after a student who does not listen to persuasion.
The cat rolled around Yu Yu.
Then rolled back again.
The big head was pressed on Yu Yu's knee, and the warmth of snoring was indeed beyond the reach of many charcoal basins.Yu Yu's fingers were gradually warmed by that layer of soft hair, and the big tail finally loosened unwillingly, but it shook up and down in front of Yu Yu several times, and finally pulled back suddenly.
As the weight on his knees gradually dissipated, Yu Yu stared at the disappearing trace with a little fascination... It was always a wonderful touch.
Knowing that there are such mysterious things in the world.
Yu Yu sighed and shook his head.
It seems that he needs another meeting with the prison.
...
The early morning sun was always chilly, and the jailer yawned and paced back and forth in the lookout pavilion.The rattling keys at the waist are piled up in one place, which correspond to every cell in this prison.Just like the south is for the criminals who have committed minor crimes or are awaiting trial, then the north is for the heinous criminals.
The two places face each other from a distance, and the north side is naturally more heavily guarded than the south side.
For example, Shizhuang didn't need any instruments of torture.
He closed his eyes and knelt on the haystack under the narrow window, his neat and clean appearance must have been given some preferential treatment by the jailer.At least a little more water can cleanse the face. After all, Shizhuang has a good reputation in Nan'an County.Even if it is a violation of the law, it is justifiable, and it is not evil after all.
"crunch--crunch--"
The prison cell that had been closed overnight was opened again, and the light that came in made Shi Zhuang frown involuntarily. He slowly opened his eyes and saw an unexpected person.
Shi Zhuang narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't the question and answer from yesterday enough to satisfy the county lieutenant?"
Yuxian Lieutenant always looked expressionless and indifferent. Although he heard Shizhuang's words, he didn't reply to him. Instead, he turned his head and said to the guard behind him: "I want to talk to Shizhuang. You lock the door."
The jailer looked distressed, "County lieutenant, this is a prisoner. If you were detained together with him and he hurt you..."
Yu Yu turned his wrist thoughtfully, "Can he hurt me?"
The jailer looked at Yu Yu's hand and swallowed abruptly.By the way, there are many rumors about Yu Yu's martial arts in the county government, so it's really hard to say who hurt who.
Yu Yu waved his hand, "After the door is locked, you can listen outside, and you can understand what's going on." The jailer was relieved and took this compromise.
After locking the door, I posted it outside the door, trying not to miss every word in it.
Shi Zhuang watched the conversation between Yu Yu and the jailer without saying a word, until the cell was plunged into darkness again, then he moved slightly and stood up from the haystack.His stature is lower than Yu Yu's, but his eyes are still as bright as yesterday.
Yu Yu said slowly: "After thinking about what happened yesterday, I still feel that there are some loopholes..." He was speaking slowly, but his hands were inserted into his cuffs, The paper was taken out from the inside, but there was only a few words written on the front side of the roll.
Shi Zhuang's face froze suddenly, his eyes widened at first, and he took a step forward unconsciously, his eyes were fixed on the words on the note, and then he looked up at Yu Yu's face, and replied: "What does the county lieutenant want? what?"
But the other end couldn't help nodding up and down.
Yu Yu took out the second note and handed it to Shizhuang, and said unhurriedly: "That's Yuan Lai's business. You and Yuan Lai have conflicts, why are you willing to let him go to you when he looks for you?" He does things as a helper, and hire him at a price of a hundred coins per day?"
After reading it, Shi Zhuang's hands trembled, and he immediately gripped the note tightly, as if he wanted to cut someone's neck off, "...I'm a little soft-hearted, and I don't want him to have an accident because of poverty." He was a little anxious After groping around for a while, Yu Yu saw this, took out a stick of charcoal from his waist pouch and handed it to him.
Shizhuang glanced at Yu Yu, then lowered his head and wrote something on the back.
Yu Yu said: "Yuan Lai knew that you clearly had conflicts with him, so how could he seek your apprenticeship?"
Shi Zhuang stuffed the written note and charcoal note to Yu Yu, and said in a cold voice: "How can I know what he thinks? The county captain must regard me as Yuan Lai's worm, right?"
Yu Yu didn't look down at the contents of the note. After putting away all the things, he said pointedly: "People always hope that they are safe. If something happens because of this, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"
Shi Zhuang clenched his fists, and said with a face: "If the county captain came here to talk about these things, then please come back."
Yu Yu nodded, and simply avoided the following.He raised his voice to call the jailer who was listening outside and unlocked it, but the crisp and neat appearance surprised the guard who was listening outside, and opened the door in a hurry.
He bowed to send the county lieutenant away, and turned back to look at Shizhuang standing alone in the cell with his head bowed.He said a few words of comfort, "The county lieutenant has that temper, and sometimes he is not forgiving. Don't take Shi Dashan to heart, they will definitely return your innocence."
Shi Zhuang raised his head, with a grateful smile on his pale face.Taking a step back to avoid the light outside the door, he returned to sit on the haystack.After the door was closed, he listened attentively to the sound of the jailer's footsteps fading away, and the clenched fist hidden under the cuff slowly let go, and there were a few small crescent moons that had been strangled with blood marks on his palm.
Shi Zhuang gasped heavily, leaning against the wall relaxedly.
Muttering softly, "She's fine, she's not dead...she's fine, she's fine..."
The residual darkness of the fingertips is the evidence.
...
In the pouring rain, the people in the classroom braved the rain to come in and out, and checked the whereabouts of Yuan Lai to the bottom of the sky recently.
Fang Yuan patted his shoulders, water could no longer come out of his drenched cuffs, he looked at the sky with a bit of gloom.The continuous winter rain has left the house with a musty smell that lingers all day long, which is simply terrible.
"Have some hot tea." Xu Qing saw that he was unlucky, so he made him some hot tea to warm his stomach, "Mr. You can have a few mouthfuls, it’s all good tea.”
Fang Yuan didn't care about the heat and ate two cups in a row, and the damp cold that rose from the soles of his feet was suppressed.He shook his body and thanked Xu Qing, then rubbed his hands and went to the hall to answer.
"...The casino and flower house are his frequent visits recently. Even if he works at Shi's house in recent days, he often spends in these two places in the afternoon and evening." Fang Yuan read, "The casino and flower house in Nan'an are the most So there are two places, so there are many people who can prove it.”
Yu Yu was standing in front of the window, cutting a dead branch in his hand.
"Does he usually go to these two places?"
Fang Yuan shook his head, "Yuan Lai is just a bastard, he often doesn't have much money in his pocket. But if he has money, he will definitely go to these two places to play tricks, maybe he has done something recently to get rich."
Yu Yu looked back, "If that's the case, then why did he still ask Shizhuang to give him a job?"
Fang Yuan was taken aback.
Yu Yu put down the dead branches that had been cut to pieces, "Is there anything unusual?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while, "On November [-]th, he disappeared for two days. I took people to search the entire Ren County, but there was no evidence of his whereabouts during those two days. Even his neighbors They said they didn't see him."
Yu Yu was thoughtful.
Zheng Shouxuan had already foreseen the troubles in this matter, and handed over all the troubles to Yu Yu, pretending to be on the sidelines.Yu Yu collected the evidence and asked Fang Yuan to rest first, then put down the scissors and paced back and forth in the hall.
Just before Fang Yuan came, he had just read Shi Zhuang's note.
That confirmed Yu Yu's conjecture, but it also revealed more troubles.
evidence.
Yu Yu shook his head, even if what Shi Zhuang said was true, there was only word of mouth, no real evidence.If we can't grasp the handle, this matter can only implicate Shizhuang himself, and it is impossible to find out the most vile person.
He decided to go to the autopsy.
...
Hui'an Restaurant in Nan'an is the busiest restaurant.
Liu Shizai often entertained guests from all walks of life here, but today he ate wine in Hui'an Building, but it was not for such a purpose.But to endure anger.
No matter how self-proclaimed Liu Shi is as a person of refined demeanor, he usually would not intentionally lose his temper at others. If he reprimanded others lightly or beat him, that would be indecent behavior.He sat alone and finished two jars of wine before he woke up Liu He and Xu Sanshi who were sitting below him.
"Tell me about it."
Liu Shi said calmly again.
Xu Sanshi glanced at Liu He who was silent, and scolded the fat man in his heart for a long time, "Master, we went to Yu Yu's house last night, and we were going to catch a person and get the stolen goods. But I didn't expect him to raise the money." Seeing a huge beast, no one expected this to happen, so those classrooms were afraid to go forward." He smiled wryly as if remembering the scene of last night, and he couldn't help shivering a little.
Liu Shi looked at Xu Sanshi suspiciously again, and asked Liu He, "What did he say?"
Liu He nodded vaguely, "Xu Sanshi is right."
Xu Sanshi glanced at Liu Shi and was dissatisfied with his interaction with Liu He.No matter how clever and cunning Liu Shi is, the people he trusts most are his own family members.No matter how fat Liu He can't help him, Liu Shi is only willing to leave some things to him. Even in such an inquiry, he has to talk too much and ask Liu He again.
Liu Shi said again: "He has a pet, how come no one told me about it?" The frightening figure is not small, how can it be hidden?
Liu He wiped his sweat and said, "Second uncle, I have never seen this beast inside or outside the yamen. You must know that it has to stand up to the height of a person. If it goes in and out of the county yamen, how can no one find it?"
Liu Shi stood up again with his hands behind his back, "Could it be that he kept such a ferocious beast for some ulterior purpose?" Thinking of this, he finally got a little excited.
After all, the plan that was interrupted last night really hurt him, it was an action that made him give up a lot of weight, and it was interrupted because of this sudden so-called fierce beast, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Early plans?
Liu He was the one who handled this matter with his own hands, so he naturally knew how angry Liu Shizai was just now. Seeing that his anger finally dissipated, he boldly continued: "Second uncle, don't say anything about the beast. Isn't it dangerous to be able to pounce on a murderer?" Xu Sanshi couldn't help frowning at his deliberately provocative words.
Although he didn't participate in last night's Cheng Suan, when he led people there, depending on Liu He's excitement, it might be another plot to frame him.If it can really ruin Yu Ji's reputation all at once, that's nothing.But at the moment, he didn't make it in one go, it must have been a warning, and Na Yuji was on guard...
And if they didn't succeed, it meant that the chips for framing would also fall into Yu Yu's hands.
He didn't know where Liu He's thoughts came from, did he really think that everything could come true?
Liu Shi shook his head again, and said coldly: "I have already failed once, and it will definitely arouse Yu Yu's vigilance. If he does something else rashly, it will only arouse his arrogance. He looks plain and simple, but in fact..."
He snorted coldly, "It's a temper that always pays back every penny. Fortunately, everything has been wiped clean, and people are gone. No matter how hard he chases us, he will never be able to catch us. Wait until this matter is over, and then make plans."
People are gone?
Seeing Liu He wiping away his sweat, Xu Sanshi felt uneasy for some reason.
...
There was a strong wind outside the house. It seemed that after the rain stopped, the cold wind couldn't hold back its temper. It began to blow all over the earth wantonly, bringing in the coldness of winter and adding another point to the damp and cold soil.
The transparent mist quickly lifted, and the first twilight lit up the room.
Bai Shuang was talking to a petite girl with a pretty face. Her face was tear-stained, and she was holding a slightly blurred note in her hand.Wiping the handwriting with his fingers, he smiled, but couldn't help but tears rolled out of his eyes again, "I hurt him, I delayed my brother..."
Bai Shuang didn't know the inside story until today, so she couldn't help pity and comfort her, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, you should rest for two more days. Shizhuang hasn't reached that point yet, maybe..."
"Lack of proof, right?"
Shi Su raised his head, his watery eyes were full of intelligence, "Yuan Lai kidnapped me and sold me to others. If only this fact is revealed, it will increase the possibility of my elder brother killing Yuan Lai. And I was treated as... ..." Her face turned green and white, "There is no real evidence for the cause and effect of sending the county lieutenant here, even if it is clear who did it, it is impossible to tell."
Shi Su is a smart girl.
Bai Shuang thought.
She touched Shi Su's forehead, and said softly: "If no evidence can be found, Mr. Lang will not ask you to be a witness. You can rest assured about this matter." If there is no real evidence of crime but Shi Su is required to testify in court, this is a shame. Undoubtedly, it's a waste of hard work, and Shi Su's boudoir name is also used, which is a move that is not worth the candle anyway.
Shi Su smiled lightly and shook her head. Although her face was pale, she smiled very nicely, "I didn't mean that. I was just thinking... can this thing be used as a criminal evidence?"
She took out a small thing from her bosom and handed it to Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang showed a surprised look, "This is..."
Shi Su said softly: "It's better to have broken pieces of jade than to have everything broken."
Her hands twisted her cuffs, and Bai Shuang couldn't help being moved by her firm tone.
"He killed my whole family, I will definitely kill him!"
...
December tenth.
The scholar got up early in the morning, bought two steamed buns at the shop, put them in his arms, and hurried to the north of the county.Even though he boasted that he didn't get up late, but when he arrived outside the county government gate, he was already wrapped up three times inside and outside three times, and no matter how crowded the scholars were, he couldn't get in.He stopped outside the crowd embarrassingly, only saying it was evil.
It's almost the end of the year, why are you still so busy?Are you all here to watch the fun?
At this moment, there is a brute force from the outside rushing in, the strength is much stronger than that of a scholar.The man squeezed and walked a few steps, stopped and looked at the scholar, and said in surprise, "Didn't you go in?"
Lao Liu was wearing rough clothes, with a bun in his hand, he looked like he was going to work.
Before the scholar agreed, Lao Liu grinned and said, "That's easy, I'll take you in." He pushed the scholar to walk behind him, squeezing the crowd with his size.Although the people were yelling, they still moved their feet reluctantly, and forced two more people to appear in the full position.
The story of Shizhuang has spread throughout Nan'an County in just a few days, and there are quite a few idlers who came here to hear first-hand news.Just as the whispers continued outside, the team leader guarding the yamen coughed twice, and the trivial movements gradually quieted down.
These days they have learned that as long as they keep a certain level of silence, the people in the yamen will not come out to drive them away.
There are many such things, and the people's fear and fear of the Yamen gradually dissipated.
Snapped--
Even so, the Shizhuang that was brought up during the opening of the hall still aroused the small exclamation of the onlookers.
Shizhuang was not convicted because he was awaiting trial, so he did not wear torture instruments.Standing upright in the lobby, it's not haggard.This appearance finally made the people who were worried about him nod their heads.
Zheng Shouxuan indicated that he was unwell today, and asked the county Wei Yuyu to handle the matter, and the director was to accompany him.The county magistrate who was caught between the two of them had no sense of existence, just sipping tea in silence, but he sighed in his heart that Zheng Mingfu was indeed an old fox.
Yuan Lai is a bastard, his widowed mother passed away long ago, so he used to be empty.
Therefore, Shizhuang stood alone, and it really seemed that the hall was empty.
Yu Xie asked Shi Zhuang to read the facts of the case first, "I said earlier that Yuan Lai was hired by you and died because of the collapse of the well. The ins and outs of this matter should be clear. The autopsy list is true and the injuries are consistent. This is the case. Do you admit it?"
There were whispers outside the yamen, and even the scholar couldn't help holding his breath.
Shi Zhuang was silent for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "I don't admit it."
Standing tall with his hands in his sleeves, he said frankly: "Yuan Lai came to my door that day and said he was poor. I thought he was pitiful, so I agreed. But a few days later, I found that Yuan Lai often went in and out. The land of casinos and smoked willows is not at all as pitiful and poor as he said, so I had doubts in my heart, so I got him drunk on November 28 and asked him why."
When Shi Zhuang said this, his expression turned cold, "Yuan Lai, who was drunk, babbled and laughed wildly. He said that he actually had thousands of dollars in his pocket, but he just wanted to see with his own eyes how I did it for my sister. It is only because of the appearance of being missing and suffering endlessly that you have to work under my sect."
As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of scolding outside the yamen, and Yuan Lai felt inferior to pigs and dogs!
The scholar shook his head suspiciously, "No."
The sixth child was the closest to him, so he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The scholar said to him: "If Shi Zhuang said this now, wouldn't his motive for killing Yuan Lai come to the surface? Why did he say it? It doesn't make sense!" He didn't think it was a good thing for the prisoner to escape, but he Can't think of the reason for Shizhuang's sudden change.
Liu Shi, who was listening in the hall, squinted his eyes again, first looked at Shi Zhuang who was talking, and then at Yan Yuji.
"... Yuan Lai, driven by drunkenness, told me that he molested and teased my second sister on the street that day, but I stopped him, and then he held a grudge. He took my second sister away while she was out shopping, Sell her, resell her." Shi Zhuang clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and his words were crying blood, "I hate Yuan Lai so much, and I have been thinking about how to take revenge for a few days. That day, I vaguely heard someone calling for help, and when I went to see it, I found that the old well had collapsed due to heavy rain, and Yuan Lai, who was seriously injured, was calling for help down the well."
The scholar sighed.
Even those noisy idlers quieted down at this moment.
"When I watched him die, I planned to go out to report to the officials, but I never expected that I would be blocked by Liu He who was squatting outside the door that day."
The sudden turn of the words made everyone in the hall stunned.
Liu He?
Who is this Liu He?
The alert person suddenly called out, "It's Liu Shizai's grandson——"
This voice was particularly piercing in this silent yamen, Liu Shi raised his head to look again, and saw that the yamen was crowded with people, no matter how he looked, he could only see black heads, and he wanted to find out what he just said. It is extremely difficult for people who speak.
This is not wrong.
Liu He and Liu Shizai are not much different in age, but they are a generation behind.
Even if Liu Shi stared again, the whispers kept ringing out, and there were even noisy noises, so Yu Yu had to pat the gavel to quiet the listeners.
"You said you saw Liu He, what's going on?" Yu Yu said in a deep voice, "Although you did witness Yuan Lai's death with your own eyes, the collapse of the well was just an accident. How did he happen to be at this moment? of?"
Shi Zhuang smiled wryly, and said hoarsely: "Of course because, this is not an accident."
He said: "One of the servants in my family got stuck in the casino and owed two strings of money. Liu He paid the two strings of money for him, and this son has since become an eyeliner, working for him. The collapse of the wellhead was not an accident , It’s not difficult to stop me.”
Yu Yu said: "As far as this matter is concerned, killing Yuan Lai will relieve your hatred. Then, if you reciprocate, what does Liu He want you to do?"
The scholar couldn't help clapping his hands.
The county lieutenant's words were justified, and there was no reason why Liu He wanted to kill Yuan Lai for Shizhuang, which even exposed his own eyeliner.
There must be a big problem in this!
Shi Zhuang looked up at Yu Yu, and said calmly: "He said he knew the whereabouts of my second sister. If I would listen to him, he would help me avoid the suspicion of killing Yuan Lai, and even let me know the whereabouts of my second sister. Girl come back."
"He said you believe it?"
"He brought my sister's accessories from that day."
Immediately there was a commotion outside, and someone with a quick mind immediately spat out, "Beast! Beast! Liu He is really a fucking beast!" Those who hadn't figured it out looked around blankly, and watched the people around them curse one after another, Only I am still at a loss.
The sixth child didn't want to understand either.
Seeing his bewildered look, the scholar suppressed his anger and said to him: "Yuan Lai told Shizhuang earlier that he sold the second girl of the Shi family, and now Liu He has the girl's jewelry in his hand. Tell me, How did this fall into his hands? Of course it was..."
He couldn't bear to say that.
Lao Liu's face turned red at first, then turned pale, and immediately his eyes burst into flames.
There are only a few thousand households in Nan'an County, and there are only a few hundred households living in this county. Most of the people who come and go know the appearance of the folks in the village.If this matter is true, then Liu Heming knows that it is the second girl of the Shi family who is still doing such a nasty thing, it will be struck by lightning and he will die!
The noise in the hall was so loud that the words in the hall could not be heard clearly.
Liu Shi coughed a few more times with a gloomy face, and said: "County officer, the people in this hall are too noisy, disturbing the cleanliness and justice of the county government, let them disperse first."
Yu Yu glanced sideways at Liu Shizai, his handsome face was expressionless, "The master is joking, this case is open and fair, there is nothing wrong with letting the people listen in. Just let them be quiet."
Liu Shi said again in a low voice: "If this continues, there must be some words that are not pleasant to listen to. For the sake of... let's break up."
Someone shouted: "Is this a threat to the county captain?"
Someone also said: "Slow down, keep down, I still want to listen!"
There was a vague sense of wonder in Yu Yu's eyes, he looked down at the paper on the table, and said calmly, "Continue."
Liu Shi clenched his sleeves tightly again, his eyes gloomy.
That's why we can't agree.
"The matter has already involved Liu He, so it's not appropriate for Shizhuang alone to talk about it casually. Why not call Liu He to the county captain?" Liu Shi said again.
Yu Yu readily agreed and called for someone to call.
Not long after, Liu He, who was wearing official uniform, was called to the hall.Just looking at his wandering eyes and the look of weak feet, one can tell that he probably listened to a lot of content in the inner office, and it is a little inappropriate to just come to the hall.
Yu Yu patted the gavel, and asked sharply: "Liu He, Shizhuang said that you threatened and lured Shizhuang to pay for Shizhuang's affairs with the life of a girl from the Shi family. Is this true?"
Liu He waved his hands again and again, making a pitiful look, "County Wei Mingcha, I have no grievances with Shizhuang in the past, and I have no vendettas in the present, so how could I threaten him? And I still took his sister's life. How can I tell? go?"
Yu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were sharp, "You mean you have never had any contact with a girl from the Shi family?"
Liu He bent over, "Exactly."
"And never threatened Shizhuang with the life of the girl from the Shi family?"
"Yes Yes."
Liu He nodded repeatedly and kept making bows.
Yu Yu nodded and patted the gavel, "Chuan Shisu to the hall."
Liu He's body froze, his neck seemed to be twisted, and he couldn't even turn round.And Shi Zhuang flicked his fingers suddenly, and couldn't help but look around.
Liu Shizai's expression was already closed, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
The appearance of Shi Su obviously made the outside gasp in surprise.
Shizhuang's good reputation naturally benefited the Shi family, and Shi Su was originally an outstanding and beautiful girl.She is quick and generous in her work, and she is also responsible for the purchase of the storefronts at home. Because she is an unmarried girl, she has attracted the favor of many gentlemen.
What happened today really made many people feel unbearable.
Shi Su was dressed in Tsing Yi and had a pale face. When she saw Shi Zhuang, she couldn't help turning red in her eyes, and immediately looked away.After taking a few deep breaths, she stabilized her mind and said, "County officer, the civilian girl wants to sue Liu He and Yuan Lai for the crime of rape and adultery, and the crime of false accusation and framing!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Shi Su didn't seem to know how shocking these words were, so he folded his hands on his lower abdomen, gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Lai kidnapped the women that day to avenge my eldest brother. However, I was bumped into by Liu He on the way. I thought Liu He was a yamen The middleman wanted to save me from fire and water, but I didn't expect the two of them to discuss business in front of me, and finally Yuan Lai sold me to Liu He for three pennies."
"lie!
"
Liu He said with a trembling voice, "You just said such shameless words because you were in a daze!"
Shi Su was as resolute and calm as a stone incarnation, and was not affected by Liu He's insult at all, "After buying me, Liu He kept me that night...for the next few days, Liu He kept me at No. 38 Stone Lane to avoid My big brother's search.
"In the afternoon of the fifth day of December, he suddenly came back to look for me, trembling all over, saying that someone asked him to do something. He hesitated for a long time and poured me a small amount of medicine. After he left, I scratched my throat and vomited it out. But still groggy and do not know the sun and the moon.
"When I woke up, I found that I was no longer in Shitou Lane, but in the county government office, on the county lieutenant's bed."
Shi Su articulated clearly, without hearing Liu He's madness, and calmly narrated her accusation.
The scholar standing outside froze, his mind turned rapidly.
Liu He, clerk, county lieutenant...
The combination of these three words suddenly brought a fact into his mind, making him unable to help but look at the expression on the face of Liu Shizai who was sitting at the head of the room.And there are not a few people who are doing this, but the distance is so far that they can't see clearly.
Liu He gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is all your ramblings alone, how can you prove this matter?! Shi Su, I advise you not to be deceived by others and say something meaningless!"
Shi Su laughed, his slim appearance was much more majestic than Liu He's sweaty head.She looked back at Liu He, and said in a low voice: "Liu He, how stupid am I to be deceived to the point where I even have a woman's reputation, just to frame you, a piece of mud?" She held her head up, With a look of anger on his face, "Liu He, right here, you tell everyone, where are you from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] on November [-]! You left Yuan Laiqiang in Stone Lane for two days, just to prevent him from Talk nonsense, and in the past two days, in the entire Nan'an County, who has seen Yuan Lai's traces!"
Shi Su pressed on step by step, with hatred in his eyes, "Tell me again, what is this?"
She ruthlessly threw a small seal, making two clangs on the floor, and on the rolling seal, the word "house" poured out.
That's the seal of the housekeeper.
"Aren't you very scared, feeling that the seal is lost somewhere, and it has been lost since the fifth day of the lunar new year. In your eyes, I am already a dead person." Standing in front of Liu He, Shi Su said word by word , "The dead should not be able to speak."
Shi Su's fortitude and calmness surpassed the imagination of many onlookers, and what she said matched Shizhuang's words, which made the people indignant and unbearable.
Buying and selling Shi Su, killing Yuan Lai, persecuting Shi Zhuang, and framing the county magistrate... It's so shocking that it makes people feel angry fireworks in their chests.
Yu Yu ignored the commotion outside, lowered his head and asked Liu He, "Can you refute what Shi Su said?"
After Shi Su threw out the seal, Liu He froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
Seals are extremely important items and must be carried with you.
Regardless of whether Liu He lost it himself or Shi Su stole it, this will not change the fact.
Liu He and Shi Su met.
This completely confirmed what Shi Zhuang said before.
Liu He threatened Shi Zhuang with Shi Su's safety.
He fell limply on the ground, it was clearly winter, the jacket was completely wet with sweat, seeping through to the outer uniform.
Liu He finally confessed the truth in every detail.
Liu He said that he had always liked Shi Su, and after seeing Yuan Lai kidnapping Shi Su, he sealed Yuan Lai's mouth with three pennies, and let him hide in Stone Alley for two days.Since Yu Yu came to the county government, he had many conflicts with the county magistrate, and gradually developed resentment. In addition, Shi Su had always refused to follow him and scolded him endlessly, which made him confused for a while, and he took advantage of it. The Shi family brothers and sisters came to frame Yu Yu's idea.
If someone caught Yu Yu raping Shi Su on the spot, and Shi Zhuang was imprisoned because of Yuan Lai, the two things were superimposed together, and then people went to the county to spread the word, and people would think that it was the county lieutenant. Robbing Shi Su's appearance, and using his power to force Shi Zhuang to go to prison... It doesn't have to be true, as long as the truth is combined with the false, it can easily incite the hearts of the people.
Let Yu Yu's reputation be completely discredited.
Liu He insisted that he was the mastermind of this incident from the beginning to the end.
However, just what he confides has caused the surrounding people to scream and scold. In addition, during the trial of the Shizhuang case a few days ago, many people were indeed moved to think that the county lieutenant was too intimidating. want to
She wrung out the towel in her hand, carefully placed it on the girl's forehead, and then covered her with a thicker blanket.The room is very quiet, Xu Qingqian sent a charcoal basin.Otherwise, according to Lang Jun's usual habits, the house is still tend to be gloomy and cold.
The anger in Bai Shuang's throat was still there, but she finally endured it when she touched the figure standing in the courtyard outside the window.That was Cheng Erding guarding the door, his wide side was enough to give people a deep sense of security.
"Knock Knock-"
Xu Qing sent hot soup and clean towels.
Standing inside the door, Bai Shuang took it, and heard ravings from inside. She didn't care to say a few more words to Xu Qing, and hurriedly turned around with the things.
Xu Qing closed the door, turned around and went to the side room, and said to Mr. Lang who was surrounded by beasts inside: "That girl should be awake."
Yu Yu was leaning against the huge beast, holding a volume of documents he was reading in his hand, and wrapped around his waist was a fluffy tail that refused to leave, and it was this tail that imprisoned him in place.But Yu Yu didn't intend to forcefully leave, and simply relied on the raccoon slave to handle the affairs.Hearing this, he put down the bamboo slips, pinched the center of his brows and said, "Let her rest now, no one is allowed to approach except Bai Shuang."
Xu Qing remembered Lang Jun's tone of warning, and withdrew to give orders.
There was only one person and one beast left in the side room.
Xu Qing was not the only one who was confused about Mr. Dashan before, and even many of the attendants brought by Yu Yu were ignorant of the inside story.It's just that they know that this beast has passed the Ming Road, and was rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to their own lord.With this golden signboard in front, unexplainable traces will always be ignored.
Yu Yu tugged at the tail around his waist, and said helplessly: "I told you to be more careful this afternoon, which is good. Your cry just now may have been heard by the entire yamen." There was no way to cover up the roar, let alone being witnessed by Liu He and Xu Sanshi.
Da Shanzi lazily rested his big head on his overlapping front paws, yawned uninterestedly, and bared his fangs.
Yu Yu reached out to touch it twice, and the sharp teeth hurt the skin of his fingers. He thought of the picture scroll just now, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, "It is said in the county that Shi Zhuang is a stable and polite character, but there is a moment in the prison. I can't help showing my sharpness, do I really think that I am wronging him, or is there something else hidden? If I guess correctly, the girl in the room may be..."
He lowered his voice.
It's not the right thing to be known about.
This is also the reason why Yu Yu kept the people in the courtyard from entering the house.
If things really turned out as he had guessed, it would be a tragedy for both Shizhuang and the girl in the house.And the less people know about the girl's looks and appearance, the better it is for her.
He grabbed the soft cat fur, "It seems that my yard needs to be combed well." Yu Yu was sure that no one would betray him, but betrayal of one's own will and suddenness were two different things.If it wasn't for the loopholes in the courtyard, how did the girl appear in the main room without making a sound?
The raccoon slave lazily bared its fangs.
But all traitors will be killed.
Yu Yu squeezed Mr. Dashan's mouth, and said expressionlessly as if he knew what he was thinking now: "You better don't make trouble for me." He looked at the thin light outside the window, "Hurry up!" It's time, don't you plan to go back?"
He is like a teacher who is diligently chasing after a student who does not listen to persuasion.
The cat rolled around Yu Yu.
Then rolled back again.
The big head was pressed on Yu Yu's knee, and the warmth of snoring was indeed beyond the reach of many charcoal basins.Yu Yu's fingers were gradually warmed by that layer of soft hair, and the big tail finally loosened unwillingly, but it shook up and down in front of Yu Yu several times, and finally pulled back suddenly.
As the weight on his knees gradually dissipated, Yu Yu stared at the disappearing trace with a little fascination... It was always a wonderful touch.
Knowing that there are such mysterious things in the world.
Yu Yu sighed and shook his head.
It seems that he needs another meeting with the prison.
...
The early morning sun was always chilly, and the jailer yawned and paced back and forth in the lookout pavilion.The rattling keys at the waist are piled up in one place, which correspond to every cell in this prison.Just like the south is for the criminals who have committed minor crimes or are awaiting trial, then the north is for the heinous criminals.
The two places face each other from a distance, and the north side is naturally more heavily guarded than the south side.
For example, Shizhuang didn't need any instruments of torture.
He closed his eyes and knelt on the haystack under the narrow window, his neat and clean appearance must have been given some preferential treatment by the jailer.At least a little more water can cleanse the face. After all, Shizhuang has a good reputation in Nan'an County.Even if it is a violation of the law, it is justifiable, and it is not evil after all.
"crunch--crunch--"
The prison cell that had been closed overnight was opened again, and the light that came in made Shi Zhuang frown involuntarily. He slowly opened his eyes and saw an unexpected person.
Shi Zhuang narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't the question and answer from yesterday enough to satisfy the county lieutenant?"
Yuxian Lieutenant always looked expressionless and indifferent. Although he heard Shizhuang's words, he didn't reply to him. Instead, he turned his head and said to the guard behind him: "I want to talk to Shizhuang. You lock the door."
The jailer looked distressed, "County lieutenant, this is a prisoner. If you were detained together with him and he hurt you..."
Yu Yu turned his wrist thoughtfully, "Can he hurt me?"
The jailer looked at Yu Yu's hand and swallowed abruptly.By the way, there are many rumors about Yu Yu's martial arts in the county government, so it's really hard to say who hurt who.
Yu Yu waved his hand, "After the door is locked, you can listen outside, and you can understand what's going on." The jailer was relieved and took this compromise.
After locking the door, I posted it outside the door, trying not to miss every word in it.
Shi Zhuang watched the conversation between Yu Yu and the jailer without saying a word, until the cell was plunged into darkness again, then he moved slightly and stood up from the haystack.His stature is lower than Yu Yu's, but his eyes are still as bright as yesterday.
Yu Yu said slowly: "After thinking about what happened yesterday, I still feel that there are some loopholes..." He was speaking slowly, but his hands were inserted into his cuffs, The paper was taken out from the inside, but there was only a few words written on the front side of the roll.
Shi Zhuang's face froze suddenly, his eyes widened at first, and he took a step forward unconsciously, his eyes were fixed on the words on the note, and then he looked up at Yu Yu's face, and replied: "What does the county lieutenant want? what?"
But the other end couldn't help nodding up and down.
Yu Yu took out the second note and handed it to Shizhuang, and said unhurriedly: "That's Yuan Lai's business. You and Yuan Lai have conflicts, why are you willing to let him go to you when he looks for you?" He does things as a helper, and hire him at a price of a hundred coins per day?"
After reading it, Shi Zhuang's hands trembled, and he immediately gripped the note tightly, as if he wanted to cut someone's neck off, "...I'm a little soft-hearted, and I don't want him to have an accident because of poverty." He was a little anxious After groping around for a while, Yu Yu saw this, took out a stick of charcoal from his waist pouch and handed it to him.
Shizhuang glanced at Yu Yu, then lowered his head and wrote something on the back.
Yu Yu said: "Yuan Lai knew that you clearly had conflicts with him, so how could he seek your apprenticeship?"
Shi Zhuang stuffed the written note and charcoal note to Yu Yu, and said in a cold voice: "How can I know what he thinks? The county captain must regard me as Yuan Lai's worm, right?"
Yu Yu didn't look down at the contents of the note. After putting away all the things, he said pointedly: "People always hope that they are safe. If something happens because of this, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"
Shi Zhuang clenched his fists, and said with a face: "If the county captain came here to talk about these things, then please come back."
Yu Yu nodded, and simply avoided the following.He raised his voice to call the jailer who was listening outside and unlocked it, but the crisp and neat appearance surprised the guard who was listening outside, and opened the door in a hurry.
He bowed to send the county lieutenant away, and turned back to look at Shizhuang standing alone in the cell with his head bowed.He said a few words of comfort, "The county lieutenant has that temper, and sometimes he is not forgiving. Don't take Shi Dashan to heart, they will definitely return your innocence."
Shi Zhuang raised his head, with a grateful smile on his pale face.Taking a step back to avoid the light outside the door, he returned to sit on the haystack.After the door was closed, he listened attentively to the sound of the jailer's footsteps fading away, and the clenched fist hidden under the cuff slowly let go, and there were a few small crescent moons that had been strangled with blood marks on his palm.
Shi Zhuang gasped heavily, leaning against the wall relaxedly.
Muttering softly, "She's fine, she's not dead...she's fine, she's fine..."
The residual darkness of the fingertips is the evidence.
...
In the pouring rain, the people in the classroom braved the rain to come in and out, and checked the whereabouts of Yuan Lai to the bottom of the sky recently.
Fang Yuan patted his shoulders, water could no longer come out of his drenched cuffs, he looked at the sky with a bit of gloom.The continuous winter rain has left the house with a musty smell that lingers all day long, which is simply terrible.
"Have some hot tea." Xu Qing saw that he was unlucky, so he made him some hot tea to warm his stomach, "Mr. You can have a few mouthfuls, it’s all good tea.”
Fang Yuan didn't care about the heat and ate two cups in a row, and the damp cold that rose from the soles of his feet was suppressed.He shook his body and thanked Xu Qing, then rubbed his hands and went to the hall to answer.
"...The casino and flower house are his frequent visits recently. Even if he works at Shi's house in recent days, he often spends in these two places in the afternoon and evening." Fang Yuan read, "The casino and flower house in Nan'an are the most So there are two places, so there are many people who can prove it.”
Yu Yu was standing in front of the window, cutting a dead branch in his hand.
"Does he usually go to these two places?"
Fang Yuan shook his head, "Yuan Lai is just a bastard, he often doesn't have much money in his pocket. But if he has money, he will definitely go to these two places to play tricks, maybe he has done something recently to get rich."
Yu Yu looked back, "If that's the case, then why did he still ask Shizhuang to give him a job?"
Fang Yuan was taken aback.
Yu Yu put down the dead branches that had been cut to pieces, "Is there anything unusual?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while, "On November [-]th, he disappeared for two days. I took people to search the entire Ren County, but there was no evidence of his whereabouts during those two days. Even his neighbors They said they didn't see him."
Yu Yu was thoughtful.
Zheng Shouxuan had already foreseen the troubles in this matter, and handed over all the troubles to Yu Yu, pretending to be on the sidelines.Yu Yu collected the evidence and asked Fang Yuan to rest first, then put down the scissors and paced back and forth in the hall.
Just before Fang Yuan came, he had just read Shi Zhuang's note.
That confirmed Yu Yu's conjecture, but it also revealed more troubles.
evidence.
Yu Yu shook his head, even if what Shi Zhuang said was true, there was only word of mouth, no real evidence.If we can't grasp the handle, this matter can only implicate Shizhuang himself, and it is impossible to find out the most vile person.
He decided to go to the autopsy.
...
Hui'an Restaurant in Nan'an is the busiest restaurant.
Liu Shizai often entertained guests from all walks of life here, but today he ate wine in Hui'an Building, but it was not for such a purpose.But to endure anger.
No matter how self-proclaimed Liu Shi is as a person of refined demeanor, he usually would not intentionally lose his temper at others. If he reprimanded others lightly or beat him, that would be indecent behavior.He sat alone and finished two jars of wine before he woke up Liu He and Xu Sanshi who were sitting below him.
"Tell me about it."
Liu Shi said calmly again.
Xu Sanshi glanced at Liu He who was silent, and scolded the fat man in his heart for a long time, "Master, we went to Yu Yu's house last night, and we were going to catch a person and get the stolen goods. But I didn't expect him to raise the money." Seeing a huge beast, no one expected this to happen, so those classrooms were afraid to go forward." He smiled wryly as if remembering the scene of last night, and he couldn't help shivering a little.
Liu Shi looked at Xu Sanshi suspiciously again, and asked Liu He, "What did he say?"
Liu He nodded vaguely, "Xu Sanshi is right."
Xu Sanshi glanced at Liu Shi and was dissatisfied with his interaction with Liu He.No matter how clever and cunning Liu Shi is, the people he trusts most are his own family members.No matter how fat Liu He can't help him, Liu Shi is only willing to leave some things to him. Even in such an inquiry, he has to talk too much and ask Liu He again.
Liu Shi said again: "He has a pet, how come no one told me about it?" The frightening figure is not small, how can it be hidden?
Liu He wiped his sweat and said, "Second uncle, I have never seen this beast inside or outside the yamen. You must know that it has to stand up to the height of a person. If it goes in and out of the county yamen, how can no one find it?"
Liu Shi stood up again with his hands behind his back, "Could it be that he kept such a ferocious beast for some ulterior purpose?" Thinking of this, he finally got a little excited.
After all, the plan that was interrupted last night really hurt him, it was an action that made him give up a lot of weight, and it was interrupted because of this sudden so-called fierce beast, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Early plans?
Liu He was the one who handled this matter with his own hands, so he naturally knew how angry Liu Shizai was just now. Seeing that his anger finally dissipated, he boldly continued: "Second uncle, don't say anything about the beast. Isn't it dangerous to be able to pounce on a murderer?" Xu Sanshi couldn't help frowning at his deliberately provocative words.
Although he didn't participate in last night's Cheng Suan, when he led people there, depending on Liu He's excitement, it might be another plot to frame him.If it can really ruin Yu Ji's reputation all at once, that's nothing.But at the moment, he didn't make it in one go, it must have been a warning, and Na Yuji was on guard...
And if they didn't succeed, it meant that the chips for framing would also fall into Yu Yu's hands.
He didn't know where Liu He's thoughts came from, did he really think that everything could come true?
Liu Shi shook his head again, and said coldly: "I have already failed once, and it will definitely arouse Yu Yu's vigilance. If he does something else rashly, it will only arouse his arrogance. He looks plain and simple, but in fact..."
He snorted coldly, "It's a temper that always pays back every penny. Fortunately, everything has been wiped clean, and people are gone. No matter how hard he chases us, he will never be able to catch us. Wait until this matter is over, and then make plans."
People are gone?
Seeing Liu He wiping away his sweat, Xu Sanshi felt uneasy for some reason.
...
There was a strong wind outside the house. It seemed that after the rain stopped, the cold wind couldn't hold back its temper. It began to blow all over the earth wantonly, bringing in the coldness of winter and adding another point to the damp and cold soil.
The transparent mist quickly lifted, and the first twilight lit up the room.
Bai Shuang was talking to a petite girl with a pretty face. Her face was tear-stained, and she was holding a slightly blurred note in her hand.Wiping the handwriting with his fingers, he smiled, but couldn't help but tears rolled out of his eyes again, "I hurt him, I delayed my brother..."
Bai Shuang didn't know the inside story until today, so she couldn't help pity and comfort her, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, you should rest for two more days. Shizhuang hasn't reached that point yet, maybe..."
"Lack of proof, right?"
Shi Su raised his head, his watery eyes were full of intelligence, "Yuan Lai kidnapped me and sold me to others. If only this fact is revealed, it will increase the possibility of my elder brother killing Yuan Lai. And I was treated as... ..." Her face turned green and white, "There is no real evidence for the cause and effect of sending the county lieutenant here, even if it is clear who did it, it is impossible to tell."
Shi Su is a smart girl.
Bai Shuang thought.
She touched Shi Su's forehead, and said softly: "If no evidence can be found, Mr. Lang will not ask you to be a witness. You can rest assured about this matter." If there is no real evidence of crime but Shi Su is required to testify in court, this is a shame. Undoubtedly, it's a waste of hard work, and Shi Su's boudoir name is also used, which is a move that is not worth the candle anyway.
Shi Su smiled lightly and shook her head. Although her face was pale, she smiled very nicely, "I didn't mean that. I was just thinking... can this thing be used as a criminal evidence?"
She took out a small thing from her bosom and handed it to Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang showed a surprised look, "This is..."
Shi Su said softly: "It's better to have broken pieces of jade than to have everything broken."
Her hands twisted her cuffs, and Bai Shuang couldn't help being moved by her firm tone.
"He killed my whole family, I will definitely kill him!"
...
December tenth.
The scholar got up early in the morning, bought two steamed buns at the shop, put them in his arms, and hurried to the north of the county.Even though he boasted that he didn't get up late, but when he arrived outside the county government gate, he was already wrapped up three times inside and outside three times, and no matter how crowded the scholars were, he couldn't get in.He stopped outside the crowd embarrassingly, only saying it was evil.
It's almost the end of the year, why are you still so busy?Are you all here to watch the fun?
At this moment, there is a brute force from the outside rushing in, the strength is much stronger than that of a scholar.The man squeezed and walked a few steps, stopped and looked at the scholar, and said in surprise, "Didn't you go in?"
Lao Liu was wearing rough clothes, with a bun in his hand, he looked like he was going to work.
Before the scholar agreed, Lao Liu grinned and said, "That's easy, I'll take you in." He pushed the scholar to walk behind him, squeezing the crowd with his size.Although the people were yelling, they still moved their feet reluctantly, and forced two more people to appear in the full position.
The story of Shizhuang has spread throughout Nan'an County in just a few days, and there are quite a few idlers who came here to hear first-hand news.Just as the whispers continued outside, the team leader guarding the yamen coughed twice, and the trivial movements gradually quieted down.
These days they have learned that as long as they keep a certain level of silence, the people in the yamen will not come out to drive them away.
There are many such things, and the people's fear and fear of the Yamen gradually dissipated.
Snapped--
Even so, the Shizhuang that was brought up during the opening of the hall still aroused the small exclamation of the onlookers.
Shizhuang was not convicted because he was awaiting trial, so he did not wear torture instruments.Standing upright in the lobby, it's not haggard.This appearance finally made the people who were worried about him nod their heads.
Zheng Shouxuan indicated that he was unwell today, and asked the county Wei Yuyu to handle the matter, and the director was to accompany him.The county magistrate who was caught between the two of them had no sense of existence, just sipping tea in silence, but he sighed in his heart that Zheng Mingfu was indeed an old fox.
Yuan Lai is a bastard, his widowed mother passed away long ago, so he used to be empty.
Therefore, Shizhuang stood alone, and it really seemed that the hall was empty.
Yu Xie asked Shi Zhuang to read the facts of the case first, "I said earlier that Yuan Lai was hired by you and died because of the collapse of the well. The ins and outs of this matter should be clear. The autopsy list is true and the injuries are consistent. This is the case. Do you admit it?"
There were whispers outside the yamen, and even the scholar couldn't help holding his breath.
Shi Zhuang was silent for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "I don't admit it."
Standing tall with his hands in his sleeves, he said frankly: "Yuan Lai came to my door that day and said he was poor. I thought he was pitiful, so I agreed. But a few days later, I found that Yuan Lai often went in and out. The land of casinos and smoked willows is not at all as pitiful and poor as he said, so I had doubts in my heart, so I got him drunk on November 28 and asked him why."
When Shi Zhuang said this, his expression turned cold, "Yuan Lai, who was drunk, babbled and laughed wildly. He said that he actually had thousands of dollars in his pocket, but he just wanted to see with his own eyes how I did it for my sister. It is only because of the appearance of being missing and suffering endlessly that you have to work under my sect."
As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of scolding outside the yamen, and Yuan Lai felt inferior to pigs and dogs!
The scholar shook his head suspiciously, "No."
The sixth child was the closest to him, so he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The scholar said to him: "If Shi Zhuang said this now, wouldn't his motive for killing Yuan Lai come to the surface? Why did he say it? It doesn't make sense!" He didn't think it was a good thing for the prisoner to escape, but he Can't think of the reason for Shizhuang's sudden change.
Liu Shi, who was listening in the hall, squinted his eyes again, first looked at Shi Zhuang who was talking, and then at Yan Yuji.
"... Yuan Lai, driven by drunkenness, told me that he molested and teased my second sister on the street that day, but I stopped him, and then he held a grudge. He took my second sister away while she was out shopping, Sell her, resell her." Shi Zhuang clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and his words were crying blood, "I hate Yuan Lai so much, and I have been thinking about how to take revenge for a few days. That day, I vaguely heard someone calling for help, and when I went to see it, I found that the old well had collapsed due to heavy rain, and Yuan Lai, who was seriously injured, was calling for help down the well."
The scholar sighed.
Even those noisy idlers quieted down at this moment.
"When I watched him die, I planned to go out to report to the officials, but I never expected that I would be blocked by Liu He who was squatting outside the door that day."
The sudden turn of the words made everyone in the hall stunned.
Liu He?
Who is this Liu He?
The alert person suddenly called out, "It's Liu Shizai's grandson——"
This voice was particularly piercing in this silent yamen, Liu Shi raised his head to look again, and saw that the yamen was crowded with people, no matter how he looked, he could only see black heads, and he wanted to find out what he just said. It is extremely difficult for people who speak.
This is not wrong.
Liu He and Liu Shizai are not much different in age, but they are a generation behind.
Even if Liu Shi stared again, the whispers kept ringing out, and there were even noisy noises, so Yu Yu had to pat the gavel to quiet the listeners.
"You said you saw Liu He, what's going on?" Yu Yu said in a deep voice, "Although you did witness Yuan Lai's death with your own eyes, the collapse of the well was just an accident. How did he happen to be at this moment? of?"
Shi Zhuang smiled wryly, and said hoarsely: "Of course because, this is not an accident."
He said: "One of the servants in my family got stuck in the casino and owed two strings of money. Liu He paid the two strings of money for him, and this son has since become an eyeliner, working for him. The collapse of the wellhead was not an accident , It’s not difficult to stop me.”
Yu Yu said: "As far as this matter is concerned, killing Yuan Lai will relieve your hatred. Then, if you reciprocate, what does Liu He want you to do?"
The scholar couldn't help clapping his hands.
The county lieutenant's words were justified, and there was no reason why Liu He wanted to kill Yuan Lai for Shizhuang, which even exposed his own eyeliner.
There must be a big problem in this!
Shi Zhuang looked up at Yu Yu, and said calmly: "He said he knew the whereabouts of my second sister. If I would listen to him, he would help me avoid the suspicion of killing Yuan Lai, and even let me know the whereabouts of my second sister. Girl come back."
"He said you believe it?"
"He brought my sister's accessories from that day."
Immediately there was a commotion outside, and someone with a quick mind immediately spat out, "Beast! Beast! Liu He is really a fucking beast!" Those who hadn't figured it out looked around blankly, and watched the people around them curse one after another, Only I am still at a loss.
The sixth child didn't want to understand either.
Seeing his bewildered look, the scholar suppressed his anger and said to him: "Yuan Lai told Shizhuang earlier that he sold the second girl of the Shi family, and now Liu He has the girl's jewelry in his hand. Tell me, How did this fall into his hands? Of course it was..."
He couldn't bear to say that.
Lao Liu's face turned red at first, then turned pale, and immediately his eyes burst into flames.
There are only a few thousand households in Nan'an County, and there are only a few hundred households living in this county. Most of the people who come and go know the appearance of the folks in the village.If this matter is true, then Liu Heming knows that it is the second girl of the Shi family who is still doing such a nasty thing, it will be struck by lightning and he will die!
The noise in the hall was so loud that the words in the hall could not be heard clearly.
Liu Shi coughed a few more times with a gloomy face, and said: "County officer, the people in this hall are too noisy, disturbing the cleanliness and justice of the county government, let them disperse first."
Yu Yu glanced sideways at Liu Shizai, his handsome face was expressionless, "The master is joking, this case is open and fair, there is nothing wrong with letting the people listen in. Just let them be quiet."
Liu Shi said again in a low voice: "If this continues, there must be some words that are not pleasant to listen to. For the sake of... let's break up."
Someone shouted: "Is this a threat to the county captain?"
Someone also said: "Slow down, keep down, I still want to listen!"
There was a vague sense of wonder in Yu Yu's eyes, he looked down at the paper on the table, and said calmly, "Continue."
Liu Shi clenched his sleeves tightly again, his eyes gloomy.
That's why we can't agree.
"The matter has already involved Liu He, so it's not appropriate for Shizhuang alone to talk about it casually. Why not call Liu He to the county captain?" Liu Shi said again.
Yu Yu readily agreed and called for someone to call.
Not long after, Liu He, who was wearing official uniform, was called to the hall.Just looking at his wandering eyes and the look of weak feet, one can tell that he probably listened to a lot of content in the inner office, and it is a little inappropriate to just come to the hall.
Yu Yu patted the gavel, and asked sharply: "Liu He, Shizhuang said that you threatened and lured Shizhuang to pay for Shizhuang's affairs with the life of a girl from the Shi family. Is this true?"
Liu He waved his hands again and again, making a pitiful look, "County Wei Mingcha, I have no grievances with Shizhuang in the past, and I have no vendettas in the present, so how could I threaten him? And I still took his sister's life. How can I tell? go?"
Yu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were sharp, "You mean you have never had any contact with a girl from the Shi family?"
Liu He bent over, "Exactly."
"And never threatened Shizhuang with the life of the girl from the Shi family?"
"Yes Yes."
Liu He nodded repeatedly and kept making bows.
Yu Yu nodded and patted the gavel, "Chuan Shisu to the hall."
Liu He's body froze, his neck seemed to be twisted, and he couldn't even turn round.And Shi Zhuang flicked his fingers suddenly, and couldn't help but look around.
Liu Shizai's expression was already closed, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
The appearance of Shi Su obviously made the outside gasp in surprise.
Shizhuang's good reputation naturally benefited the Shi family, and Shi Su was originally an outstanding and beautiful girl.She is quick and generous in her work, and she is also responsible for the purchase of the storefronts at home. Because she is an unmarried girl, she has attracted the favor of many gentlemen.
What happened today really made many people feel unbearable.
Shi Su was dressed in Tsing Yi and had a pale face. When she saw Shi Zhuang, she couldn't help turning red in her eyes, and immediately looked away.After taking a few deep breaths, she stabilized her mind and said, "County officer, the civilian girl wants to sue Liu He and Yuan Lai for the crime of rape and adultery, and the crime of false accusation and framing!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Shi Su didn't seem to know how shocking these words were, so he folded his hands on his lower abdomen, gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Lai kidnapped the women that day to avenge my eldest brother. However, I was bumped into by Liu He on the way. I thought Liu He was a yamen The middleman wanted to save me from fire and water, but I didn't expect the two of them to discuss business in front of me, and finally Yuan Lai sold me to Liu He for three pennies."
"lie!
"
Liu He said with a trembling voice, "You just said such shameless words because you were in a daze!"
Shi Su was as resolute and calm as a stone incarnation, and was not affected by Liu He's insult at all, "After buying me, Liu He kept me that night...for the next few days, Liu He kept me at No. 38 Stone Lane to avoid My big brother's search.
"In the afternoon of the fifth day of December, he suddenly came back to look for me, trembling all over, saying that someone asked him to do something. He hesitated for a long time and poured me a small amount of medicine. After he left, I scratched my throat and vomited it out. But still groggy and do not know the sun and the moon.
"When I woke up, I found that I was no longer in Shitou Lane, but in the county government office, on the county lieutenant's bed."
Shi Su articulated clearly, without hearing Liu He's madness, and calmly narrated her accusation.
The scholar standing outside froze, his mind turned rapidly.
Liu He, clerk, county lieutenant...
The combination of these three words suddenly brought a fact into his mind, making him unable to help but look at the expression on the face of Liu Shizai who was sitting at the head of the room.And there are not a few people who are doing this, but the distance is so far that they can't see clearly.
Liu He gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is all your ramblings alone, how can you prove this matter?! Shi Su, I advise you not to be deceived by others and say something meaningless!"
Shi Su laughed, his slim appearance was much more majestic than Liu He's sweaty head.She looked back at Liu He, and said in a low voice: "Liu He, how stupid am I to be deceived to the point where I even have a woman's reputation, just to frame you, a piece of mud?" She held her head up, With a look of anger on his face, "Liu He, right here, you tell everyone, where are you from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] on November [-]! You left Yuan Laiqiang in Stone Lane for two days, just to prevent him from Talk nonsense, and in the past two days, in the entire Nan'an County, who has seen Yuan Lai's traces!"
Shi Su pressed on step by step, with hatred in his eyes, "Tell me again, what is this?"
She ruthlessly threw a small seal, making two clangs on the floor, and on the rolling seal, the word "house" poured out.
That's the seal of the housekeeper.
"Aren't you very scared, feeling that the seal is lost somewhere, and it has been lost since the fifth day of the lunar new year. In your eyes, I am already a dead person." Standing in front of Liu He, Shi Su said word by word , "The dead should not be able to speak."
Shi Su's fortitude and calmness surpassed the imagination of many onlookers, and what she said matched Shizhuang's words, which made the people indignant and unbearable.
Buying and selling Shi Su, killing Yuan Lai, persecuting Shi Zhuang, and framing the county magistrate... It's so shocking that it makes people feel angry fireworks in their chests.
Yu Yu ignored the commotion outside, lowered his head and asked Liu He, "Can you refute what Shi Su said?"
After Shi Su threw out the seal, Liu He froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
Seals are extremely important items and must be carried with you.
Regardless of whether Liu He lost it himself or Shi Su stole it, this will not change the fact.
Liu He and Shi Su met.
This completely confirmed what Shi Zhuang said before.
Liu He threatened Shi Zhuang with Shi Su's safety.
He fell limply on the ground, it was clearly winter, the jacket was completely wet with sweat, seeping through to the outer uniform.
Liu He finally confessed the truth in every detail.
Liu He said that he had always liked Shi Su, and after seeing Yuan Lai kidnapping Shi Su, he sealed Yuan Lai's mouth with three pennies, and let him hide in Stone Alley for two days.Since Yu Yu came to the county government, he had many conflicts with the county magistrate, and gradually developed resentment. In addition, Shi Su had always refused to follow him and scolded him endlessly, which made him confused for a while, and he took advantage of it. The Shi family brothers and sisters came to frame Yu Yu's idea.
If someone caught Yu Yu raping Shi Su on the spot, and Shi Zhuang was imprisoned because of Yuan Lai, the two things were superimposed together, and then people went to the county to spread the word, and people would think that it was the county lieutenant. Robbing Shi Su's appearance, and using his power to force Shi Zhuang to go to prison... It doesn't have to be true, as long as the truth is combined with the false, it can easily incite the hearts of the people.
Let Yu Yu's reputation be completely discredited.
Liu He insisted that he was the mastermind of this incident from the beginning to the end.
However, just what he confides has caused the surrounding people to scream and scold. In addition, during the trial of the Shizhuang case a few days ago, many people were indeed moved to think that the county lieutenant was too intimidating. want to
