"Did you not get married because you knew you had this disease...?" King Xiangyang murmured.

The past few days have been dull and cloudy, and the wind has blown up from nowhere, rustling the leaves, and the smoke and dust dazzled the eyes. Bao Zheng looked somewhere outside the hall with far-reaching eyes, and others could not see the slightest clue.

After a while, Bao Zheng suddenly asked Gongsun Ce to go to the inn, whispered a few words to Gongsun Ce, and then ordered someone to bring Zheng Tuhu who had rested.

The wind blew harder, and even the four-character plaque on the hall was shaken, which made the King of Xiangyang feel a little uneasy for no reason.

Butcher Zheng lowered his head, as if he had experienced life and death, his face was full of exhaustion, and he suppressed his voice: "Master, the villain didn't kill people... The villain really didn't kill people...."

"It doesn't matter whether you killed or not. The government asks you why the guards found a set of women's clothes from your home because you have lived alone for many years."

Women's clothing?

No... King Xiangyang felt very strange. Didn't he and Zhan Zhao see men's clothes in the pile of carrion?

I also thought that it might be Jiang Zhi's son and daughter dressed up as men to escape on purpose.

And he never heard from the guard that he found the woman's clothes... What kind of trick did Bao Zheng play?

"Women's clothes?" The butcher seemed to remember something, his breath changed suddenly, and his footsteps faltered, as if all the sounds around him had been lost in an instant.

"My lord... Did your lord find it from the little man's house?"

Bao Zheng nodded slightly: "That's right, I got it from your family."

The butcher stopped talking after hearing this, his eyes suddenly slowed down, and his dark pupils narrowed for a moment.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, no one spoke, and even the sound of breathing was light enough. Only then did King Xiangyang realize that the wind had stopped before he knew it.

According to Bao Zheng's order, Gongsun Ce went back to the inn and randomly took the women's clothes that King Xiangyang gave Bai Yutang to try on before, and hurried back, breaking the silence of the room.

"My lord, the students have brought the evidence."

The King of Xiangyang looked at the embroidered silk robe held by Gongsun Ce, which looked familiar to him, but he immediately recognized that it was he who found it from Jiang Wan!

Dare to love Bao Heizi is deceiving people here again!

Bao Zheng just wanted to test Zheng Tuhu's sensitivity to women's clothing, so as to verify his previous guess that Zheng Tuhu remembered Jiang Zhi'er.

Judging from the situation, Zheng Tuhu was indeed as he expected, probably remembering Jiang Zhi'er.

From a distance, Butcher Zheng could see that the dress was brightly colored and well-made, and he was a little skeptical: "My lord, did you really find this dress in a villain's house?"

"I can't say anything wrong!" Bao Zheng knocked on the gavel, butcher Zheng was startled, and hurriedly said: "That's not what the villain meant, it's just that the clothes look quite expensive, how could it be in a villain's house? "

Bao Zheng's demeanor is extraordinary, especially when he is trying a case, he is like a supernatural force, making people dare not lie and look directly at him, "Then you mean that the set in your house is not expensive and gorgeous!"

"Is the government right?"

"This!" Butcher Zheng was silenced by him, with his mouth open, unable to utter a single redundant explanation.

"Small....Small...."

"Bold butcher Zheng, you committed a murder and committed a crime, and you still dare to lie to the government! According to the government's opinion, you can only be executed directly and thrown into the tiger's guillotine!"

"Come on!" Bao Zheng was still trying to scare him, but Zheng Tuhu closed his eyes tightly, took a few steps back, shook his head and shouted: "My lord, spare my life! The villain didn't! The villain didn't kill that woman!!"

"Didn't kill? Didn't kill that woman, how could there be women's clothes in your house?"

"There are indeed women's clothes in the villain's house, but they are the relics of the villain's dead wife. They have been hidden by the villain all the time. How could they belong to other women?!"

The butcher gave another clue, Bao Zheng thought about it for a while, his eyes shone with coldness, and he shouted: "I never heard you say that you have a deceased wife, but now you are willing to hire one. What else, explain it quickly!"

The butcher looked sad, grabbed his front collar, knelt down slowly, and said: "To tell you the truth, the villain is also a native of Chenzhou. Later, his wife was persecuted by the gangster Jiang Wan, so the villain had no choice but to flee to Sanxing Town to settle down. .”

"So, Jiang Wan is your wife-killing enemy?"

Butcher Zheng nodded, staring straight at the shadows of the trees swaying by the wind outside the hall, tears poured down like rain, soaking the ground in front of him until he was thoroughly wet.

He remembered the day his wife left, and it was such a bad weather.

He was sitting under a tree chopping firewood, and his young wife watched him chopping firewood intently. After a long while, she said coquettishly, "My husband, tell me, in this world, when will we stop starving and live a happy life?" What about the days when you could eat meat every day?"

He finished chopping the firewood with a smile, touched her not-so-beautiful but surprisingly bright eyes, and said gently: "I have saved a lot of money by chopping firewood these days, and I will buy meat for you when I go out." return!"

At that time, the natural disaster had just arrived, and there was no harvest in the fields, but all the edible things inside and outside the city were dug up, leaving only a mess.After all, this pork is no longer available.

However, what is more terrifying than natural disasters is that Pang Yu, the Marquis of An Le, who does all kinds of evil.

The most regrettable thing in his life is that he couldn't let his wife eat pork until the night Jiang Wan took her away.

When someone sent her back, she had already become a cold corpse.

Butcher Zheng closed his eyes, and the breeze blew across his brows, but it didn't heal the deep gully between his brows that he had endured humiliation for all these years.

Hearing what he said, the King of Xiangyang felt a deep sense of sadness welling up in his heart, he couldn't help but clenched his fists together, and said, "That Pang Yu, you deserve to die!"

Although Bao Zheng also sympathized with Zheng Tuhu's experience, but the law will not show mercy, and this cannot be the reason for Zheng Tuhu to brutally kill Jiang Zhi'er. "So, you killed Miss Jiang Zhi'er out of hatred for killing your wife?"

"No... I... a villain..." Butcher Zheng shook his head desperately, and said, "The villain did take in that young lady, but I... I really don't remember killing her!"

"Of course you don't remember killing her, because you killed her in a dream, right?" King Xiangyang finally got a clue, interrupted Zheng Tuhu and said, "It is true that you took in the escaped marriage out of good intentions." Jiang Zhier."

"But Miss Jiang Zhi'er didn't know that you had a deep blood feud with her father, so she told you her identity. So you were very tormented at the time, and you kept thinking about the past intermittently. Unexpectedly, you dreamed of your dead wife after falling asleep."

"In addition, you have been suffering from the strange disease of getting up and moving after falling asleep all year round, so you killed her in your dream. And as usual, at the time of chopping meat, you unconsciously chopped her into pieces. Meat paste."

"I……..!"

As soon as King Xiangyang finished his analysis, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy. Butcher Zheng seemed to be woken up by a club head-on. He really had nothing to say, and finally bowed his head and said, "My lord is right."

"The little man doesn't remember what he did. Later, it was the Wen family who went to the little man to buy pork heads, and the little man was woken up. He didn't even remember that he gave her the head casually while he was half asleep and half awake..."

"Damn the villain...Damn it..."

Hearing Zheng Tuhu's regretful cries, King Xiangyang's heart skipped a few beats, feeling very uncomfortable.

Although Zheng Tuhu killed someone, and the method of killing was extremely cruel, but judging from the situation, this was not his wish.

Otherwise, why did he do it after he was asleep?When Mingming is sober, there are many opportunities to kill her.

Jiang Wan heard that Bao Zheng and the others already had a clue, so they rushed over without stopping. As soon as they entered the Yamen, they saw Butcher Zheng lying on the ground in pain, and everyone with sad faces.

When the King of Xiangyang saw Jiang Wan, he was also suffocated, and he didn't want to talk to him.

Bao Zheng had always looked down on Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan went back and forth, but in the end it was Gongsun Ce who kindly told him about the case.

After hearing this, Jiang Wan burst into tears, and immediately wanted to rush to Zheng Butcher's house to see his poor daughter. He just took a step, and turned around to kick Zheng Butcher, but was stopped by the yamen servants.

Jiang Wan was crying so hard that he was out of breath, and five or six people could barely suppress his swaying limbs, "Well, you murderous butcher! You have the head of the wrong, and the owner of the debt. You have the ability to do it!" Cut me off! Why... why did you kill my Chi'er..."

"Then why did you kill my wife! Why did you bring her into the hands of that thief, Pang Yu, and let her be tortured to death?!" Zheng Butcher saw his wife-killing enemy, and his eyes became red with anxiety, and he jumped immediately. When he got up, he wanted to wrestle with Jiang Wan, but it was Zhang Long, Zhao Hu who joined forces to push him aside.

There was a moment of chaos in the hall.

"Enough!" Bao Zheng slammed the gavel hard, barely stopping the maddened two people, "In the courtroom, how can you wait for nonsense!"

"Come here, submit the crime letter now, and let the prisoner Zheng Tu do something!"

Jiang Wan cried and laughed, and shouted: "Yes! Punish him! Mr. Bao, don't spare him lightly! It's best to use all [-] tortures for him, and then execute him!"

"Shut up!" Bao Zheng drew out a lottery and said, "Jiang Wan, our government is not punishing you for the time being because you have more serious crimes to be punished! What you have done, this government will definitely treat you well in the future." Settle it!"

"Come on, drag Jiang Wan down to hit twenty big boards!"

In just twenty blows, Jiang Wan, who was still yelling just now, was beaten horizontally, leaving only the strength to lie on the ground and howl.

The king of Xiangyang applauded in his heart, and expressed 1 approval of Bao Zheng's approach.

Following Zheng Tuhu's confession, Jiang Zhi'er's case was completely closed.

Wen's mother and son had nothing to do with the case, and were released by Bao Zheng after the case was clarified.

Only then did Yan Chasan realize that the generous nobleman he met that day turned out to be the King of Xiangyang. When he saw the King of Xiangyang himself, he still couldn't believe it.

The King of Xiangyang saw that he was not harshly abused in the prison, and he was not thin but fat, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Young Master Yan, now you can study hard and get a good reputation when you go back."

Yan Chasan raised his hands respectfully and said, "Thank you, my lord! Yan Chasan will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"

"Eh? Brother Yan?!" Bai Yutang originally came to settle accounts with the King of Xiangyang, but when he walked to the gate of the Yamen, he saw Yan Chasan, his face clearly showing joy, and he immediately embraced Yan Chasan's shoulder affectionately, saying: "Brother Yan, long time no see, you look so good!"

"Brother Bai!" Yan Chasan was also overjoyed, and hurriedly introduced to the King of Xiangyang: "My lord, this is Bai Yutang, the elder brother who is in charge of me. He is a well-known chinchilla in the world. You are so good!"

The King of Xiangyang pretended not to see the shining Huaying sword in Bai Yutang's hand, silently moved an inch to the side, and forced a smile: "Hehe...yeah, he's a very nice person..."

So good that ten times I met him, nine times I wanted to kill him...

Bai Yutang was surprised to see how Yan Chasan respected and liked the King of Xiangyang so much: "Brother Yan, how did you know this man?"

Yan Chasan briefly talked about the situation that day, Bai Yutang looked at the King of Xiangyang, and the King of Xiangyang immediately nodded awkwardly and said: "It should be, it should be, fifth master's brother, there is no reason not to help...... "

Bai Yutang showed some interest in him, "I didn't expect the prince to be so helpful."

Xiangyang Wang Rumang was on his back, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking of some excuse to slip away as far as possible.

But Bai Yutang didn't let him go so easily. The more he saw that he wanted to run away, the more he pulled Yan Chasan to chat with him. Seeing him so nervous, he couldn't help but feel very happy: "Since the prince is so rich, why don't you invite Yan Chasan, who is from a poor family?" Brother, let’s have a meal, scholars consume a lot of brainpower and need to replenish it.”

When the King of Xiangyang thought of the purse that Zhao Dehan handed over to him like a treasure when he left, it had already shrunk quite a bit, and he couldn't help crying from the bottom of his heart.

"Why, the lord is not willing?" Bai Yutang made gestures behind him, and said slowly, "The lord has done so many bad things. If you don't do some good deeds to accumulate virtue, you won't be afraid that if you are fine today, you will suddenly die tomorrow?"

"Fifth Master, this is also for your own good."

King Xiangyang: "..."

Suddenly want to say thank you, what happened...

Obviously you want to kill me! !

The King of Xiangyang decisively took out the money bag, placed it gently on Bai Yutang's outstretched hands, smiled slightly, and said, "You don't need to look for it."

money...
