Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

Wen Yu didn't believe it at all when she heard the news that Wen Yulan had been captured on the spot for murder.What a joke, why didn't you say he killed someone?

But the fact is that the whole girls' school saw her committing the crime, and the victim Tao Qi was indeed dead.

Although as the eldest brother, he should go to comfort Wen Yulan first, but Wen Yu knew in his heart that Quan Mengyang's eyes were on him now.And he firmly believed that his sister did not kill anyone, so going to Yulan at this time would only increase criticism.

So Wen Yu rushed to the scene as soon as possible. The deceased Tao Qi was the youngest daughter of Mengyang timber merchant Tao Zixing.Although the birth of cement had a certain impact on Mengyang's timber business, the market in the city itself is not big, and Tao Zixing was the first group of people who hugged Wen Yu's thighs tightly, so his family's business has not been damaged. Made a lot of money.This also made him more determined to follow in the footsteps of the county magistrate. Wen Yu opened a girls' school, and Tao Zixing was the first to send his little daughter here.

Tao Qi is just like his father, slick and tactful.When Wen Yulan was isolated, she wanted to make friends, and the two quickly became close friends in the boudoir.Zhou Wan's daughter, Zhou Cuicui, was married after all, and some things were hard to say, so Wen Yulan got closer to Tao Qi.

When Wen Yu arrived at the girls' school, the guards had already arrived and surrounded the scene.Wen Yu walked in with a heavy heart. At this time, Tao Zixing was helping his daughter collect the corpse. When he saw Wen Yu, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell to his knees on the ground.On the contrary, Wen Yu didn't know what to say. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tao Zixing say to him: "Master County Magistrate, Xiaomin knows that Miss Wen is not the murderer."

Wen Yu asked strangely, "How did Mr. Tao know?"

Tao Zixing looked sad: "Although the little girl intends to get close to Miss Wen, she has been moved by Miss Wen's character and talent after a long time. Qi'er is like me. Although she looks warm on the outside, she is actually cold-hearted. Recently she went home The last three sentences are inseparable from Ms. Wen, and she told me that I finally have a close friend. In addition to the recent turmoil in Mengyang City, I can roughly guess that she should be involved in something this time , so I never suspected that Miss Wen committed the crime."

Wen Yu was in a complicated mood. He walked from the yamen to the girls' school, and all he saw were other people's unnatural eyes. He didn't expect that the victim's family members were the most sober ones.

Tao Zixing continued: "I'm not very capable as a father, I just hope Mr. Wen can catch the murderer, so as to comfort Qi'er's spirit in heaven."

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Wen Yu solemnly promised that anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wen Yulan was most likely to be targeted at this time. Tao Qi's death... is ultimately due to the Wen family's debt.

Wu Zuo handed in the report, which showed that Tao Qi died not long ago. According to the memory of the girls' school, Tao Qi even reacted when they arrived, and twitched a few times, but Wu Zuo said that it was just a conditioned reflex after death.Tao Qi was killed by one blow, and the murder weapon was the knife in Wen Yulan's hand.

Wen Yu ordered people to search the scene carefully to see if they found anything, and then went to the teachers and students in the girls' school to find out about the situation.

In fact, the only unmarried girls in the girls' school were Wen Yulan and Tao Qi, and the rest were dressed as women, so there was no need to avoid suspicion too much. Wen Yu directly gathered them together to save interrogation one by one.

Everyone saw that Wen Yu's expression was obviously evasive, maybe they were worried that Wen Yu would cause trouble for them because of his sister.Wen Yu knew it well in her heart, so she didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked directly: "Madams, can you tell me what happened that day again."

Everyone looked at each other without making a sound. In the end, Zhou Cuicui spoke first and told how they witnessed Wen Yulan's murder.After hearing this, Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "So, you didn't see the murder process either. When you got there, you were already dead, right?"

Zhou Cuicui nodded timidly, and then a woman below retorted: "Who else could it be if it wasn't her. At that time, it was just the two of them, both holding knives in their hands."

Wen Yu took a closer look and saw that the person speaking was a thin woman with a sallow complexion who looked about 40 to [-] years old.Wen Yu said calmly: "Indeed, I didn't say that it must not be her. I just repeated the facts. Could it be possible, Madam, that you saw Wen Yulan insert a knife into Tao Qi's body?"

The woman pursed her lips in disdain, and didn't answer Wen Yu's words, but muttered in a strange voice: "After all, she is the county magistrate's own sister, even if she kills someone, she won't be killed in the end."

Wen Yu knew very well that if this kind of person insisted on breaking up with her, she would be disturbed even if she didn't talk to her. Now she really didn't have the energy to talk to her, so she didn't talk anymore.

After figuring out what was going on, Wen Yu asked his subordinates if they found anything at the scene, but he was disappointed in the result. The guard replied that the scene was very clean, and there was no mark of a third person except Wen Yulan and Tao Qi.

Now that things are almost done, it's time for him to find his sister.Wen Yulan was temporarily detained in the prison at this time, because she is a female family member and her sister is a parent officer, so she automatically prepared a relatively high-end cell for a period of time. It is said to be a cell, but it is actually a simple guest room. It is not only clean but also well-equipped. Still complete.After Wen Yu went in, he looked around and felt relieved to see that there was nothing missing.

Wen Yulan was sitting on the bed in a daze at this time, when she saw her elder brother get up quickly, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen and her hair was messy, Wen Yu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he helped her back to the bed: "Why did you make yourself like this, the more things happen, the more you need to calm down, I believe you."

Wen Yulan couldn't bear it any longer when she heard these words, and burst into tears: "Brother! Tao Qi is dead! She was killed!!" Wen Yu was slightly startled, but then felt relieved. It turned out that Wen Yulan The reason why he lost his soul was not because he was wronged, but because of the tragic death of his friend. Facts have proved that he was right.

Wen Yu quietly waited for her to calm down after crying, and then said: "Tao Qi's death is unclear now, and there are no clues. If it is like catching the real murderer, Yulan, your words are very important, and there must be no omissions." , everything must be made clear, understand?"

Wen Yulan wiped away her tears, and her expression gradually became firm: "Brother, just ask, I will try my best."

"Okay, then tell me what you two did to Building No. [-]."

Wen Yulan hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's Tao Qi. She's not in the right state recently. I asked her several times and she refused to say anything. It seemed that something happened in the morning. I saw her crying secretly. I was a little worried, so I asked her again, and Tao Qi said that it is not easy to talk about it here, so I need to find a secluded place to tell me, and then we went to Building No. [-]."

Wen Yu asked again: "Why is the knife that killed Tao Qi in your hand?"

Wen Yulan was also very strange: "I don't know either. After entering Building No. [-], Tao Qi purposely found the innermost room. As soon as I was about to speak, I felt a little dizzy. As soon as my eyes got dark, I passed out. I was holding a knife in my hand, and I was confused for a while, and then I saw Tao Qi lying on the ground with blood everywhere, I screamed in fright, at this time the administrator and the others came in."

Wen Yu faintly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain clearly, so she changed the subject and asked, "Do you know why Tao Qi is troubled recently?"

"I think...it seems to be for the love between men and women..." Wen Yulan was a little embarrassed to say it. After all, it was very serious for an unmarried woman to have an affair with someone in the Ming Dynasty, but in order to solve the case, she had to talk about it.

With Wen Yu invigorated, love killing is also very possible. "How do you say that? Does Tao Qi have someone he likes?"

Wen Yulan replied: "I'm not sure, but Tao Qi has been very happy some time ago, and sometimes she laughed inexplicably when she had nothing to do. I also saw her secretly making clothes, the size and style of which were not the same as those for her father. She is the eldest daughter in the family, and there are only two younger brothers below, so it is probably made for her sweetheart."

Wen Yu continued to ask: "She didn't reveal who that person was at all? Or she mentioned some information inadvertently, you should think about it carefully."

Wen Yulan recalled it for a long time: "It seems that Tao Qi once said that she slipped her mouth. That person's family seems to be pretty good in Mengyang, but her father is definitely not willing to let her marry there."

Wen Yu frowned. The information was too vague. According to this investigation, the children of the Qiu family had wives and concubines at home, or the other party had some hidden illness.But something is better than nothing. Tao Qi is a boudoir girl. Although the people in Mengyang are open, there are only a limited number of people she can see, so she is not afraid that she will not be able to find out if she checks one by one.

After confirming the general direction, Wen Yu was much more relaxed. Noticing that her sister was in a panic, she specially ordered her servants to bring some clothes for her.He also ordered the jailers to guard against death all day long before leaving.

As soon as he came out of the prison, he saw Wen Qiong arguing with someone at the door. To be precise, this brat was unilaterally looking for trouble: "Is there anything I can't see with my own sister! I'm afraid you don't know who I am! You guys Mr. Wen is my elder brother, let me in quickly!"

The gatekeeper was unmoved: "There is an order from above. Except for him, everyone is forbidden to enter and leave here. If the young master really wants to enter, it is better to ask Mr. Wen. Don't embarrass the little one."

Wen Qiong was so angry that her cheeks swelled into puffer fish, and it seemed that she would continue to mess around.As soon as he looked up, he saw Wen Yu standing coldly on the steps, his legs felt weak, and he wanted to run away when the soles of his feet slipped.

"You don't have to come back after you run away," Wen Yu said lightly.

Wen Qiong didn't dare to move anymore, and turned around with a playful smile: "I was just about to find you, but you showed up, brother."

"Did I tell you that I won't let you come here if there's nothing to do, and I want to make others favoritism. Once you open your head, I'll see what you do if something happens in the future!"

Only then did Wen Qiong realize the seriousness of the matter, and she was scolded honestly: "I was wrong, brother, but I am really worried about Yulan, and I know you are afraid that I will worry about it, but I can't pay attention to family matters. A smear of black."

Wen Yu knew that what he said was reasonable, so she briefly recounted Wen Yulan's situation to him, hoping that he would stop being a monster if he knew it.

Unexpectedly, when he said Wen Qiong like this, he jumped even higher: "This is obviously that evil Yulan who has no conscience! Some people really believe it! Whoever said it, I will go find them to make a theory!"

Wen Yu has a headache: "For now, the evidence is conclusive. Do you think these are useful? You just listen to me and try not to go out during this period of time. Brother Fu is the only one left at home. Just help me take care of him. Pay close attention to the mansion, Cheng Xun's case has not been resolved yet."

Wen Qiong saw that her elder brother assigned tasks to her, and felt motivated, and told Wen Yu some things to pay attention to. Regarding this, Wen Yu had to admit that she was not as careful as him. This kid put Wen Yulan in prison. I took my mood into consideration, and even proposed to go to the market to buy some small toys for my sister to relieve my boredom.

Wen Yu also agrees with this point, Yulan's mental state is indeed not very good.The two parted here, and before leaving, Wen Qiong made a point of accompaniment to the guard just now, saying that she really didn't speak very well, and told him not to take it to heart, and gave him an ingot.The guard nodded at Wen Yu, and happily accepted it after getting permission.

Besides, Wen Qiong was planning to go home after simply picking out a few gadgets, but suddenly collided with a man and woman carrying sugar water on the road, and was drenched all over by sugar water.Originally, he planned to get angry, but seeing the sincere and fearful expressions of the young couple, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

The two said that their home was nearby, and asked Wen Qiong to go back, change clothes, rest and rest before leaving, and apologized to him at that time.Wen Qiong hesitated for a moment, after all, the stickiness on her body was too uncomfortable, so she agreed to their request.

The couple led him into the small courtyard of Jian Erjin, and kept saying hello to people along the way. Wen Qiong said with a smile: "I heard you talking like you are from other places. I didn't expect that you are so popular in the city." .”

"Yes, yes, there are good people around here." The two returned with an unnatural expression.Then he stopped talking, and Wen Qiong didn't talk anymore because he was bored.After changing clothes, Wen Qiong got up and wanted to leave, but they tried their best to persuade him to have a meal before leaving. The woman pretended to shed a few tears. Wen Qiong was most afraid of women crying in his life, so he had no choice but to let him have a meal before leaving. They ate a few mouthfuls.

After eating, the two sent him to the door again, bowing and apologizing non-stop, Wen Qiong was speechless, and now it was him who was embarrassed, which was too enthusiastic.

That night, just as Wen Yu was about to take a rest, she heard someone beating drums outside, so she asked the guards to take a look.After a while, the officer came to report: "My lord, there was a couple in the city. The wife was raped and raped. She couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged herself. The husband felt that he didn't protect his wife and children, so he committed suicide too. Now the neighbors around know who the prisoner is. came to sue."

Wen Yu expressed puzzlement: "Since you know who it is, go and arrest it quickly, and then I will try it again."

The yamen servant looked embarrassed: "But they said... the prisoner, the prisoner is Mr. Wen Qiong."

Wen Yu "!"

What the hell?How could Wen Qiong do such a thing, Wen Yu told his younger brother to pass.

Wen Qiong was woken up from her sleep, she was still a little dazed at this moment, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong, brother, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Wen Yu told what happened, and he was instantly frightened. "Those two people died? How is it possible? I was fine when I left. Why do you say that I raped and raped that woman because I went to their house?"

Wen Yu glanced at him: "Of course not. Before the two committed suicide, they left a suicide note, naming their names and saying that you caused their deaths."

Wen Qiong was dumbfounded: "I didn't!" Then he told how he knew them. "Brother, you have to trust me! I really didn't do such a thing!"

"You don't need to say it, any fool knows that you definitely didn't do it, but thanks to this time, one thing is confirmed." Wen Yu said slowly.

Wen Qiong was happy to see that her elder brother trusted her more: "What's the matter?"

Wen Yu paused and said, "This is for me. I have caused you and Yulan to suffer." If Wen Yu was not sure whether Tao Qi was killed because of her own personal affairs, Xingshou It just happened to find Wen Yulan to be the scapegoat.Now that he understands everything, the only one who can make up his mind to frame him even if it costs so much money, material and manpower is probably only the White Lotus Sect.

Is this the so-called revenge of the White Lotus Sect?Wen Yu thought happily.But although it is simple and crude, it is really easy to use.

Because this case is not as attractive as Wen Yulan's case, and there is no other evidence except a letter to prove that he has committed a crime.So it was not compulsory to take him into custody.

As a result, just after the verdict was pronounced, news came that someone in Mengyang was going to stop the sedan chair, saying that Wen Yu had perverted the law for personal gain.
