Chapter 177 The case is finally revealed

Zhang Zirui deceived the corpse?

The corpse is gone, and the dead come back to life?

Cui Geng respects ghosts and gods, but he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so in his opinion, Zhang Zirui is not dead?

Cui Geng vaguely caught something, and said secretly, is this why Liang Bo so happily admitted Zhang Zirui's case?

"Ahem......"

He coughed twice, looked at the suspicious appearance of everyone in the court, and couldn't help breaking the strange silence, and asked out loud: "Liang Bo, this official asked you, why did you murder Zhang Zirui?" ”

Liang Bo didn't hide it, and confessed the reason.

It turned out that when Liang Bo led his troops to Quanzhou to arrest Cui Geng, he and Zhang Ziruili should cooperate with each other, and it was almost done! is about to complete the task assigned to him by Wu Sanzhong, arrest Cui Erlang, let this guy be dismissed, and then use the dragon robe to plant the big task of blaming the blame!

Who knew that Chen Sanhe and Shen Tuo returned from Chang'an and disrupted the situation. In the end, it was a failure.

He finally left Wanghailou in a gloomy way, and was blown by a cold wind on the way back to Guangzhou, and suddenly thought of one thing that he had neglected - why didn't I think of stopping Zhang Zirui from leaving?

On that day, Zhang Zirui left Quanzhou and went straight to Guangzhou to find Wu Sanzhong's backer.

But Liang Bo knew that Zhang Zirui, who was born in Quanzhou, was born as a Jinshi, and also served as a Yangzhou assassin, and was a talented guy, and if he followed Wu Sanzhong to make ideas in the future, could he still keep his position as the first lackey of Wu Sanzhong's disciple?

The most important thing is that he was on the Wanghai Tower just now, and his ugly appearance of groveling to Cui Geng was seen by Zhang Zirui.

If Zhang Zirui arrives in Guangzhou, and he adds fuel and vinegar to Wu Sanzhong for the sake of inviting merit, can he Liang Bo still have a good one?

So, he hurried straight to Guangzhou to stop Zhang Zirui and Wu Sanzhong from meeting at the first time.

However, what is good or not dead is that Zhang Zirui's heart for fame is very eager. When Liang Bo arrived at the Yamen to pacify the envoy, Zhang Zirui had already begun to ask to see Wu Sanzhong.

There was no way, he could only bribe the doorman first, and find a reason to block Hou Zhang Zirui back. Then he secretly followed and invited Zhang Zirui to have a drink.

Zhang Zirui was rejected by Wu Sanzhong, and he was worried, but when he saw Liang Bo, the celebrity in front of Wu Sanzhong, of course he agreed to the appointment.

In one of Liang Bo's courtyards, the two drank happily, chatting while drinking, Liang Bo knew that Zhang Zirui was quite unlucky, and had not yet arrived in Guangzhou City.

Now Zhang Zirui is alone, with a small amount of entanglement on his body, and he has come to Guangzhou City.

For a while, Liang Bo had crooked thoughts in his heart. When the wine was hot, he first separated the maids and servants who were serving, and secretly poisoned Zhang Zirui's wine.

After a while, Zhang Zirui was silent.

Liang Bo knew very well that Zhang Zirui was the imperial court official of Liupin, and if the case really happened, Wu Sanzhong couldn't protect him.

Therefore, he didn't dare to fake his hands when dealing with corpses.

Liang Bo first set up a carriage, loaded Zhang Zirui's body in the car, and took advantage of the night to find a small forest outside a remote village and bury it.

Everything went very smoothly, and by the time he had finished digging a deep pit and climbed up to throw the corpse.

only to find that the body was gone!

Take a closer look, there are still traces of Zhang Zirui's movement on the road, what is this not a fraudulent corpse?

……

……

Cui Geng finally understood the reason why Liang Bo admitted so happily at this time, this guy is really a scheming!

If Zhang Zirui hadn't died, wouldn't he have attempted murder and not be sued for his life?

Attempted murder is not unto death!

Liang Bo fought this idea, so he was willing to admit it so frankly!

However, after Hou Sizhi on the side listened, his originally slightly calm face was frightened by Liang Bo's painting and color, and he said, "Fraud...... Cheat...... Cheat...... Corpse fraud? Cui Yushi, how did this case involve ghosts and gods? This...... What can I do? ”

Cui Geng saw that Hou Sizhi was really scared, and secretly despised it, if you really believe in any ghosts and gods, as for doing so many immoral things?

He said vaguely: "Hou Yushi shared the worries and solved problems for the imperial court, I don't know how many thieves have been brought to justice, are you still afraid of something like zombies?" ”

"That's different." Hou Sizhi looked around, mysteriously took out a jade pendant from his arms, and said to Cui Geng: "This is the official from Luoyang White Horse Temple for 20,000 yuan to invite, by the monk to read the "Dizang Sutra" 9981 day blessing, no soul can get close. But the soul is an intangible material, but the zombie has a body, I wonder if this jade pendant can be carried? ”

The reason why Hou Sizhi is not afraid of retribution is not because he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but because he believes in ghosts and gods too much!

Cui Geng really couldn't laugh or cry, waved his hand and said: "Hou Yushi's jade pendant can restrain the zombie official or not, but I can be sure that this matter must have nothing to do with zombies." ”

Hou Sizhi asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Cui Geng said: "This official is familiar with medical science, in fact, even if a person is not breathing for a while, he may not necessarily be dead." There is a slight possibility that he can recover on his own. ”

"You're saying that Zhang Zirui may not be dead?"

Hou Sizhi eased up a little and said, "Then Cui Yushi thinks that this Zhang Zirui is not dead, where did he go?" You can't see a corpse when you're dead, you have to see people when you're alive, right? This living person or corpse cannot be found for a day, and this case cannot be closed for a day! ”

Cui Geng thought for a moment and said, "This matter is also simple, just follow his footprints to find it." The official doesn't believe it, he's a big living person, where can he hide? surnamed Liang, if you want not to die, then your chance to make meritorious service has come! ”

Liang Bo was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded again and again to express his willingness to cooperate with everything, and scolded himself for being blinded by lard before, so he had the move to harm Zhang Zirui.

Soon, Cui Gengchuan issued an order for Song Genhai to take a team of government soldiers, and then transferred the entire capture squad from Chen Ziang's Nanhai County Ya, escorted Liang Bo, and went to the place where he dug a pit and buried his body that day.

Although the footprints have disappeared after so many days, Zhang Zirui, a poisoned person, should not be able to run far, so he started the investigation near the burial site.

After Liang Bo's guidance, the officials soon found the nearest dwelling in the grove where the corpses were buried, which was a courtyard surrounded by loess piles.

This family has two brothers, the elder brother is called Qin Mingli, and the younger brother is called Qin Mingming, who sells silk for a living. Qin Mingli has already married and married his wife, Sun. Qin Ming was still young and did not marry a wife.

On this day, the two brothers were at home, and suddenly saw so many servants breaking in like wolves, because there were ghosts in their hearts, they were scared to pee.

Before anyone could interrogate them, they confessed the killing of Zhang Zirui one by one.

They have suffered nothing but unjustification.

It turned out that because the two often went out to do business, they were not at home for ten days and half a month, and the wife of her brother Qin Mingli, Sun, couldn't bear the loneliness, and Hongxing went out of the wall.

As for the object of going out of the wall, it is a wandering monk named Ming Fei.

The two brothers also heard some rumors, and one day they told Sun that they were going out to buy goods, but in fact they did not leave the city.

That night, they secretly returned home to catch the adulterer.

Unexpectedly, the monk saw the opportunity quickly, heard the noise, and was already hiding in a closet.

When the two brothers saw that they could not find anyone, they were suspicious, so they prepared to search.

But before he could search it, the unlucky Zhang Zirui came in over the wall.

He drank less poisonous wine at the time, but faked his death and passed, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in the woods, and heard the sound of digging a pit, and secretly said, could it be that this Liang Bo wants to bury me alive?

Zhang Zirui knew that Liang Bo wanted to harm himself, so he naturally didn't dare to lie on the ground for a long time. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to hurry up and leave before Liang Bo climbed out of the pit.

So dragging his weak body, he stumbled out of the grove and saw the small farm yard.

At this time, it was late at night, so he had to sneak over the wall and enter the courtyard, and first avoid tonight's disaster.

Who knew that the Qin brothers in the courtyard heard the sound and immediately misunderstood, only thinking that the monk and adulterer had come at night.

It was dark and couldn't see clearly, Qin Mingli picked up a kitchen knife and went over, and chopped Zhang Zirui's head.

In fact, Qin Mingli was timid, he only wanted to vent his evil anger, and he didn't plan to kill anyone at all. But Zhang Zirui was highly poisoned, and he cut it down with a knife, and he fell to the ground and died at that time.

It wasn't until now that the two brothers found out that they not only cut the wrong person, but also really killed someone, and they immediately panicked.

The monk Ming Fei in the house found out about the abnormality, and jumped out at that time, saying that the adultery of the poor monk is only a two-year sentence, but you are guilty of killing the head.

Qin Mingli asked, how to say it in public and how to say it in private?

The monk said, it's good to say, I'll go to report to the official, we both should receive whatever crime we want, if it's private, look at this person's clothes are not ordinary people, and the good things on his body will belong to me. In addition, you must not interfere in the affairs of me and the Sun family in the future.

Qin Mingli is not a strong man, he thought about it left and right, and finally decided that it was better to die than to live.

Now that this Ming Fei monk is mentioned, it happens to match the jade pendant that the pawnshop shopkeeper gave to Wu Sanzhong.

Although the shopkeeper of Xinyuan Quality Library did not know the whereabouts of Ming Fei, the Sun family knew, and the officials quickly arrested this evil monk.

He confessed to his crimes, and confessed that the jade pendant was obtained from Zhang Zirui's corpse and pawned in the pledge warehouse.

As for Zhang Zirui's body, it was disposed of by the monk Ming Fei and buried somewhere outside the city.

Under his leadership, Zhang Zirui's body was dug up. Because he has not been dead for a long time, he can still be recognized as himself.

When Wang Ruiyue learned that her husband was dead and saw his body, she naturally cried loudly and mourned.

At this point, the case of Zhang Zirui's murder can be officially closed even if the truth is revealed.

The Qin brothers, as well as the Sun family and the monk Qi, were naturally handed over to Chen Ziang of Nanhai County to be in charge of the trial, although it was manslaughter, the Qin brothers still killed someone, and Cui Geng knew that Chen Ziang had his own conclusion.

As for Liang Bo, he was poisoned first, although Zhang Zirui did not die under his poisonous wine for the first time, but died under Qin Mingli's kitchen knife, how could he escape?

The attempted murder was the biggest culprit in Zhang Zirui's death. Legally, he may not have to pay for his life, but it is inevitable that he will be dismissed from his post and investigated.

As for sentencing a person to 3,000 miles or sentencing a prison sentence, it depends on the verdict of the Guangzhou Thorn History.

After all, Liang Bo was the governor of Guangzhou Zhichong Mansion, and Chen Ziang still had no right to try him, and he had to be in charge of the trial by Guangzhou Assassin Shi.

As the so-called trees fall and scatter, as soon as Liang Bo enters like this, he does all the pickled things in Guangzhou City, and the people outside will have less paper?

In addition, Hou Sizhi and Cui Geng secretly pointed out the history of the Guangzhou assassination, and it was the son-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family who attempted to poison him, and the nephew of the former prime minister Zhang Da'an...... Can Guangzhou Assassin Shiyan spare him?

I'm afraid that the little luck that Liang Bo had before will turn into disappointment in the end!

……

As for the dragon robe case?

There is no way, Liang Bo doesn't admit it, so it can only be carried by Wu Sanzhong himself.

Moreover, the dragon robe was searched from the inner mansion of his mansion, and Liang Bo also said that it was instructed by him, plus his seventh lady was willing to turn it into a tainted witness.

I'm afraid that Wu Sanzhong has made up his mind on this pot!

In fact, Hou Sizhi also hoped in his heart that Wu Sanzhong would take this pot of rebellion.

Because he knows that the relationship between Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sanzhong is complicated. If outsiders attack one person, they will unanimously open up to the outside world out of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox.

However, if there is an opportunity to get rid of Wu Sanzhong, a potential rival for the throne, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi are also very happy to see it.

Now that Wu Sanzhong is dying by himself, he can't even look down on the prince, and he wants to ascend to the sky as the emperor in one step, how can these two martial arts endure it?

Hou Sizhi has now pulled out the nail of Wu Sanzhong for Erwu, and has made such a great achievement, even if he has completely opened the door to Erwu. With them to take care of them, it is not necessary to nest in Lingnan to avoid the turmoil in Chang'an.

As for Cui Geng himself, of course, he hopes that Wu Sanzhong dies as cleanly as possible.

So, this time, the two fought side by side with the same hatred. It was decided to send someone to put Wu Sanzhong under house arrest first, and then jointly write a recital, which was sent to Chang'an City for 800 miles and asked the court to decide.

The physical evidence is sufficient, coupled with the efforts of Wu Sanzhong and Wu Chenghei, so far it is difficult to change Wu Sanzhong's fate.

If Wu Sanzhong resolutely pleaded not guilty when he arrived in Chang'an, this would not be a big problem.

Although Zhou Xingsuo Yuanli and other cool officials were killed, the first person among the cool officials, Lai Junchen, is still there.

Like Wu Sanzhong, people have seen a lot, in order to make them confess, there are dozens of torture tools invented alone, and even compiled a false accusation holy book with Suo Yuanli - "Luo Weaving Sutra".

Wu Sanzhong wanted to survive this hurdle, unless the sun came out of the west, so the two of them were not worried.

These two cases were tried from noon to the evening of the same day, when they were fully heard.

After closing the case, Hou Sizhi stretched his waist and yawned: "Okay, it's done, the official's errand in Lingnan Road is almost done." As for the case of Jia Renyi and Chen Yuanguang, Cui Yushi doesn't have to worry about it at all. The official's craftsmanship in Chang'an has not yet fallen, and when the time comes, he will definitely want Jia Renyi to confess, and he will confess! ”

In front of so many officials and prisoners in the second hall, Hou Sizhi is really unscrupulous.

Cui Geng smiled bitterly in his heart, and replied ambiguously: "Thank you Hou Yushi, you have a good understanding of everything, and you will definitely be able to administer justice for Chen Yuanguang." ”

Hou Sizhi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "What are you thanking or not, who is with whom of the two of us?" After these days of getting along, the official feels that Erlang, you are a good person! ”

Cui Geng couldn't help crying, big brother, don't pull me, can I have an egg friendship with you, a cool official? It's just taking advantage of each other. If I really answer your words and spread the word, won't my reputation stink on the streets?

Hou Sizhi's reputation in the government and the opposition is no better than the reputation of cool officials such as Lai Junchen and Suo Yuanli.

Fortunately, Hou Sizhi saw that he didn't reply, and he didn't go to his heart, after all, he was in a beautiful mood just after making a great contribution, so he only heard him say: "Erlang, you have only been the political envoy of Lingnan Province for one year, and seeing that it has been less than half a year, I don't know if you have any plans?" If not, this official can help you open up the door of the two martial arts masters, as long as you are willing to spend money, it will not be a problem to mix a five-grade official at the end of one year. ”

Cui Gengwan refused: "This humble position can't be the master, and this matter still has to listen to the meaning of the above." ”

"Above?" Hou Sizhi suddenly realized, and said: "You mean Di Xiang, yes, this official is also concerned about chaos, forgetting that you, the political envoy, are still from Di Xiang!" ”

After nothing happened, he asked again: "Erlang is in a high position at a young age, has he ever been married?" ”

Cui Geng was afraid that this force would be the same as Liu Youqiu, and there would be another bad thing about the old man pulling the fiber to protect the media, so he hurriedly pushed and said perfunctorily: "Although I haven't married a lowly position, I have already made a marriage." ”

"That's good, I want to come in a few days and Erlang will marry the newcomer into the door, and it is also a beautiful thing for young couples and husbands to sing and sing with their wives."

Envious for a while, Hou Sizhi sighed again and said, "This official is not good, middle-aged widowed, and now he is a widower." ”

Cui Geng sighed, very puzzled, is Hou Sizhi crazy or sick, why are you nagging me about it? My friendship with you is really not good enough to talk about family affairs with each other!

Hou Sizhi gently tugged the corner of Cui Geng's clothes, licked his lips, and said in a low voice: "Erlang, let's take a step to talk, okay?" I have something important to discuss with you......"

Sneaky, unsightly, what's the situation?

However, Cui Geng knew that Hou Sizhi was forced to go through this battle, and he would be a dragon after returning to Chang'an, so he also didn't want to offend more.

Immediately, according to the words, after glancing at Chen Ziang, who was still seriously helping to sort out the case, he followed Hou Sizhi to a no-man's corner.
