"This ......" Xiao Wuniang said with a sad face: "People die greatly, so don't talk about it, right?" ”

Cui Geng shook his head and said, "Torturer...... Ah, no, Wu Niang. To tell the truth, whether or not the cause of death in the history of torture and assassination can be ascertained, the official is not half sure. So, in order to get to the bottom of the case. No suspicion must be left unchecked. If you really intend to avenge the torture and assassination, please tell me about it, and you must not hide it. ”

Xiao Wuniang pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." In fact, the concubine was forcibly ...... by Xing Assassin Shi Insulting. ”

"Huh? Forcibly insulted? Cui Geng couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Wuniang closed her eyes, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, and said: "Xing Tingshi was a new official at that time, and he was invited by his father to come to the concubine's house as a guest. The concubine was twenty-eight years old at the time, and was called out by her father to meet him. But he actually took advantage of his father's drunkenness to give the slave family to ......"

Cui Geng was puzzled: "Then, you will marry him?" There is a rule in my Great Zhou Law that it is not allowed to rape first and then marry! "Besides, he marries his subordinates, and he doesn't follow the rules of the court?"

The so-called first rape and then marriage include joint rape and forcible ~ rape. If a man and a woman are in love, but they secretly eat the forbidden ~ fruit before marriage, this is called rape. In that case, according to the law, a woman would be a concubine, not a wife.

However, what about forcible ~ rape? In any case, the union is not allowed, otherwise the men will migrate for three years and the women will migrate for one year, which is also to protect the interests of vulnerable women.

That's why Cui Geng asked.

"What if you don't marry him?" Xiao Wuniang was helpless and said: "Yizhou Assassin Shi forcibly humiliated the daughter of his subordinates, and if it spreads, it will definitely shake the entire Great Zhou." My father is the most old-fashioned, and I really can't afford to lose this person. In addition......"

"How?"

"At that time, Junchen came to do things, and the torture and assassination history took his way, and my father really didn't dare to offend him. Therefore, a small sedan chair sent the slave family to the Thorn Mansion. As for not marrying subordinates...... The emperor of Meizhou is far away, who is afraid of the history of torture and assassination? ”

Hearing this, the doubts in Cui Geng's heart increased instead of decreasing.

He frowned slightly, and said, "But according to this official, the history of torture and assassination doesn't seem to be very good in Meizhou...... Happy, huh? ”

Xiao Wuniang said: "You mean the gold theft case, right?" At the beginning of his tenure, he did such a thing to the concubine, and his character can be seen. In fact, he only had a few months of assassination history, and everyone in Meizhou was resentful. Later, someone made a mistake and exchanged a congratulatory gift from the assassination history to Lai Junchen for a dead eagle. Although Lai Junchen knew that the assassination history was wronged and did not deal with him, he was defeated by Lai Junchen's Xing, and this line was broken. The history of torture and assassination was born in a poor family, without the care of Junchen, he is a toothless tiger, Meizhou is twisted into a rope up and down, and his good days will come to an end. ”

Cui Geng said meaningfully: "Then your Xiao family...... I'm afraid it's one of these ropes, right? ”

Xiao Wuniang sighed and said, "My father was forced to marry his only daughter to the torture assassination Shi as a concubine, and of course he was also one of his main opponents. However, the turn of gold into soil has nothing to do with my father, and it should be the handiwork of Sima Li Yushan and the gang in Meizhou. ”

That's it!

Cui Geng breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, Originally, I thought that the local forces in Meizhou had twisted into a rope and wanted to fight against the imperial court. Now it seems that the introduction is that the criminal text is too much of a thing. Since this is the case, then let them take the risk of raiding their families and exterminating their clans to deal with Benguan and Su Wei...... It should be a last resort, not so bold, right?

However, there is still a question, Cui Geng has always been unable to understand, and said: "It is said that you have a grudge against the assassination history, so why do you want to avenge him at all costs?" ”

Xiao Wuniang shook her head slightly, and said: "As the saying goes, a husband and wife for a hundred days in one night, and a concubine and a torture assassin have been husband and wife for five years, how can there be no grace?" In addition, although he bullied me before marriage, he treated me really well in the past five years after marriage. ”

Cui Geng thought to himself that of course, Xing Wen was suppressed by Meizhou officialdom and had no temper, if he didn't treat you better, wouldn't that be looking for death?

He said disapprehantly: "But this little favor is not worth your reciprocation, right?" Wu Niang, you are young, and the days after this will be long. ”

For this question, Xiao Wuniang had a plan, tilted her head, and said a little playfully: "What? changed from the concubine of the history of torture to the concubine of Cui Cha, who is famous all over the world, and wronged the concubine? To tell the truth, the concubine came today, which is also the intention of the father. ”

"That's ......"

Although Cui Geng felt that Xiao Wuniang's words had no loopholes in logic, he always felt that something was wrong.

He secretly pondered, yes, Xiao Wuniang took the initiative to dedicate herself just now, and her eyes were too helpless, as if she was close to me, which was more uncomfortable than killing her. What's going on? Is it my delusion? Of course, having said that, the eyes can't be used as evidence, maybe they are everyone's girlfriends, and they feel very aggrieved about taking the initiative to throw their arms on strange men.

Well, if you don't understand, you don't want to, although I can't understand why Xiao Wuniang married Xingwen, but Xing Wen's official reputation is always known. As for Xiao Wuniang's...... Anyway, it's not like I can't live without a woman, let's talk about it later!

Thinking of this, he changed the topic and began to talk to Xiao Wuniang about some things that had nothing to do with the case, such as the customs of Meizhou, the story of officialdom, etc.

Xiao Wuniang no longer seduced ~ Cui Geng, and after getting Cui Geng's assurance that he tried his best to investigate the case, he didn't work hard and left.

Sending Xiao Wuniang away, Cui Geng hurriedly brought Su Wei, as well as Feng Changqing, Zhou Xing, and Song Genhai to discuss how to investigate the case.

Su Wei said: "In this way, the gold theft case and the criminal poisoning case are actually a case. That's easy to do, as long as we crack Xing Wen's case, we will have a legitimate reason to arrest people. As for the gold theft...... In fact, it is not necessary to break. ”

Cui Geng understands that this is Su Wei's way to show "ambiguity" again. Of course, he didn't have any opinion on Old Man Su's disposition.

Originally, 6,000 taels of gold per year, that is, 60,000 yuan. It sounds like a lot, but there are so many officials in Meizhou, and there is not much on average for each person, so it must have been spent a long time ago. What is the use of solving gold theft cases? The money will definitely not be recovered.

Take a step back and say, even if you chase it back, it will be the money of the government office, and Su Wei can't put it in his pocket. Old man Su came to Meizhou to retire, for this matter, he swept the officialdom of Meizhou and made enemies everywhere, so why bother?

Therefore, the best way now is to only investigate the poisoning case of Xing Wen and bring the mastermind to justice, and the rest of the people, who are actively moving closer to Old Man Su, will stay, still stubborn...... is also involved in the criminal poisoning case, killing chickens and monkeys. As for the gold theft...... Just treat it as a foolish case and let him pass.

Thinking of this, Cui Geng nodded and said, "It's not impossible to investigate the Xing Wen poisoning case alone. However, this person has been dead for three months, and we can't find out at all? ”

Song Genhai said: "My lord, don't you have the technique of steaming bones for autopsy?" Not to mention being dead for three months, it's okay to be dead for three years! ”

Zhou Xing said disapprehantly: "What do you know? The autopsy can only test whether the person has been injured, but it cannot test the poison. ”

"That'...... Then ......" Song Genhai said unconvinced: "I have been dead for three months, maybe my body has not rotted yet." Aren't you the best at autopsy? Isn't there a way at all? ”

Zhou Xing explained angrily: "If you want to check whether the corpse is poisoned, look at the skin first, and then look at the internal organs." However, in the past three months, even if the body is not rotten, the color of the skin has long since changed, and nothing can be seen. ”

"Where's the offal?"

"The viscera are even more impossible. In an ordinary corpse, the internal organs will be completely melted within seven days. ”

Song Genhai's face was slightly uncontrollable, and he said forcefully: "You yourself said that under normal circumstances, the internal organs will be completely melted, can't a special situation happen?" ”

"Special circumstances...... Zhou Xing muttered, "It's not nothing, but it must be buried within one day after death, and the burial place must be very special." ”

"What kind of special law?"

"This kind of place is called the land of evergreen, which is a kind of feng shui treasure for burial, and with a suitable coffin, it can ensure that the body will not decay for at least ten years."

After a pause, Zhou Xing waved his hand again, and said impatiently: "Don't ask what is the land of evergreen, anyway, I said, you don't understand!" ”

"Eh, I'm weird." Song Genhai raised the bar and said: "Even if my surname Song doesn't understand, and you Zhou Ghost haven't been to the scene to see it, how do you know that Xing Wen's body is not buried in the land of evergreen?" ”

"Hmph, the land of evergreen is rare in the world, how can it be so coincidental? I just don't look at it. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. Whoever loses, will... Lose 200 yuan! ”

Zhou Xing is alone, and because of self-harm and embarrassing identity, he has no special hobbies, and he has saved a lot of money over the years. But Song Genhai has a family, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he is very short of money. Zhou Xing originally thought that this gambling agreement could scare Song Genhai.

However, Song Genhai is a person who wants to save face, this time he was stunned and was not called by him, his neck was stalked, and he said: "Bet on it, I believe that you Zhou Xing will not spoil the adult's business because of two hundred yuan, let's go to see Xing Wen's funeral place tomorrow." ”

As a result, this time Song Geunhae seems to have really gone out of shit luck.

The next day, Cui Geng had just finished lunch, and Song Genhai stumbled into the small courtyard. He shouted, "My lord, great joy, great joy! That Xing Wen was buried, and it was indeed the place where the corpse was hidden! This time, how did he die, but ...... It's out! ”
