Gu Kedu didn't follow anyone at noon every day, and went out to "walk" alone, in fact, it was for a little daughter-in-law who had just hooked up recently, and that woman had almost become his outer room.

Gu Huiming mastered his brother's whereabouts and found that he happened to pass through Yougong Bridge, so he carefully designed a double-cover murder:

First attacked Gu Kedu on the bridge, hit his head with a stone, and then smashed his genitals, disguised as the murderer of the Three Bridges mystery case, and committed the crime again - the lower half of the first three deceased was stained red with blood, which can be found by eyewitnesses who were at the scene at the time.

Then, if the government notices a difference from the previous three murders, then kill Qi Dalang, and then fake the illusion that Qi Dalang committed suicide in fear of crime, so as to cover up the real murderer.

Gu Huiming provoked Qi Dalang to sue Gu Kedu, and made the case of Gu Kedu's annihilation of Qi Qin's family known to everyone, which was the preliminary preparation for the crime.

Gu Huiming thought about it again and again, and felt that the plan was seamless, so he notified Qi Dalang two days before the incident, claiming that Gu Kedu wanted to clarify the rumors that he had annihilated Qi Qin's family, and if he had anything to say, let him come to Gu's Houshan Pavilion to discuss it at that time.

When Qi Dalang heard this, he was really surprised, and he immediately calculated that he could make a profit, he was a drunkard, and getting along with the fox and dog party inevitably leaked some rumors, which further confirmed his charge of "extortion does not become murder" after the case.

At the end of noon on the day of the crime, Qi Dalang came to the Gu Houshan Annex as agreed, but what was waiting for him was not Gu Kedu's silver, but a trap of death, Gu Huiming and his henchman Gu San pushed him into the pool water, Qi Dalang didn't know how to water, he drowned alive on the spot, and his body sank under the pool.

Next, Gu Huiming rushed to Yougong Bridge and attacked Gu Kedu from behind, with or without intention, the crime went very smoothly, and a hard blow to the back of the head cut off Gu Kedu's surname, and then Gu Huiming smashed the victim's genitals, and threw the murder weapon into the river, pretending to be the murderer of the Three Bridges mystery case who committed murder again.

At this time, Gu Huiming thought that there was no more negligence, the government would be led by the nose by the Three Bridges mystery case that happened earlier, even if the real culprit of the Three Bridges mystery case was caught, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to deny this case, and the government would even bend into a trick and turn the case into an iron case.

Even if something happens, the government has transferred out of the Three Bridges mystery case, Gu Huiming still has a plan to resurrect the soul by borrowing the corpse, and when the time comes, he throws out Qi Dalang's body and fakes a scene where he commits suicide in fear of crime, and the crime of killing Gu Kedu is taken by Qi Dalang.

As everyone knows, Qin Lin's eyes were like lightning, first from the fish gathered at the bottom of the Yougong Bridge, he found the stone as the murder weapon, and then found that the lower half of the deceased's body was smashed instead of being cut off, and he immediately saw through the trick of imitating the murderer of the Three Bridges mystery case, and uncovered the first layer of fog laid by Gu Huiming.

In the afternoon of the same day, taking advantage of the busy funeral of the Gu family, he returned to the annex to pick up Qi Dalang's body, and Gu San drove the carriage to Wuligou in the east of the city.

As a result, it backfired, and under Qin Lin's knife-sharp gaze, this second layer of fog still didn't survive even a single round, and it was cut to pieces and poked into thousands of holes, revealing the truth that Gu Huiming tried to cover up in every possible way.

Gu Huiming's face turned red, he wheezed like a wounded beast, and stared at Qin Lin fiercely: "Defeated by your hands, I am convinced, actually, in fact, when I was in Yougong Bridge, I felt that I might not be able to escape from your palm this time......"

"You're a self-aware! Why did you get to where you are now? Qin Lin looked at the black lacquer and gold "filial piety" plaque hanging in the middle of the Gu family's main hall house, and once again showed a mocking smile.

Gu Kelian and Gu Kexi just came back to their senses and shouted together: "Okay, you wild seed, for the position of the head of the family, do such a thing!" ”

Tang Jingting was so angry that his face was red: "Killing his brother with his brother, the tragedy of human relations is really a shame for Qiongzhou Shilin, a shame for Lingnan Shilin!" ”

Hai Rui didn't say anything, shook his head and sighed, he used to have a good impression of Gu Huiming, but now it seems that he can only be annoyed that he was blind and saw the wrong person.

Gu Huiming suddenly laughed: "The shame of Shilin, the tragic change of human relations? Hahaha, Tang Governor, you really know how to laugh! Yes, I killed my brother, but when it comes to the shame of Shilin, there are still people in front of me! ”

When Gu Kelian and Gu Kexi heard this, their faces suddenly became very ugly, and they wanted to rush up to cover Gu Huiming's mouth, but Gu Huiming glared at him, and the look of madness made them take two steps back.

Tang Jingting said sharply: "Gu Huiming, what do you mean?" ”

Gu Huiming gritted his teeth, didn't say a word, looked up at the word filial piety hanging directly above the mourning hall, and sneered.

"The officials killed the eldest master, all for me," the second lady had walked out from behind at some point, her face was very pale, her lips trembled, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Huiming's face with regret.

Gu Huiming's face finally changed: "Ruping! ”

Ruping ignored him and blessed everyone: "Now, the concubine doesn't have to hide anything, the eldest lord is ridiculous and shameless, he even refuses to let go of his brother and daughter-in-law, and he takes advantage of business matters to take away the obscurity, looking for an opportunity to defile me...... Later, the concubine was forced to die, so he hit Qi Qin's head with his idea, but after Qi Qin's left, he teased the concubine again......"

Bai Shuanghua let out a faint sigh, from the situation she saw when she sneaked into the Gu Mansion that day, she was already suspicious, she didn't expect that the crimes would be staged around her one by one, and it was finally confirmed, she was in a very unhappy mood.

Qin Lin shook her hand vigorously, and also let out a sigh in his heart.

Hai Rui and Tang Jingting were both stunned, they didn't expect that the Gu family, a famous family in Shilin, Qiongzhou, would have such a drastic change, and the two couldn't help but set their eyes on Gu Kelian and Gu Kexi.

The Gu family brothers looked flustered, their eyes were dodgy, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and they didn't dare to refute the words of the second sister-in-law, Ruping.

Seeing this, Hai Rui understood everything, even if the Gu family brothers were not Gu Kedu's accomplices, they were also insiders, and they were suspected of conniving and covering up, and it was self-evident what kind of humiliation the "wild seed" Gu Huiming and his wife Ruping suffered in the Gu family.

"Gu Huiming, Gu Huiming, you are so confused!" Hai Rui was heartbroken and angry, his white beard trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Even if the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, why don't you report to the Tang Governor's Mansion?" Can't the old man and the Tang prefect administer justice for you? But sit down on such a murderous crime, confused, confused! ”

Tang Jingting also said with a sad face: "Alas, this kind of case involving ** can be tried in secret in the second hall, and this government will try not to spread it to the outside world, Gu Huiming, you are desperate...... The Gu family is second to none in Shilin, Qiongzhou, and if such a thing happens, the official's achievements in educating the herdsmen are now gone! ”

Bai Shuanghua snorted coldly, the ice and fire in his eyes were intertwined, and the corners of his mouth pursed disdainfully, hum, do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?

Qin Lin looked at her and shook his head, he didn't have to say anything now...... The truth is a great irony!

Gu Huiming frowned, drooped the corners of his mouth, looked at Hai Rui with a very strange expression, and said with a wry smile after a while: "Hai Qingtian, I remember you said that the original defendant who is difficult to solve a case must yield to one of them, and it is better to yield to his brother than to give in to his brother." ”

A gentle sentence was like a thunderbolt in nine days, which shook Hai Rui's soul away, and he stood on the spot in a daze, his lips trembling violently, and his body was shaky.

In order to maintain the righteousness of the Gangchang and the Taoist teachings of brothers, friends and brothers, Hai Rui set the preset standard of "it is better to bend his nephew than to bend his uncle, and it is better to bend his brother than to bend his brother", thinking that this can maintain loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and can purge the hearts of the people in the world.

But Hai Rui never expected that it was this preset standard that made Gu Huiming completely lose confidence in him and his disciple Tang Jingting, and made a bloody case of killing two surnames in a row - in a sense, it is the Taoist outline that the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and it is better to condescend to his brother than to bend his brother, etc., which contributed to this bloody case and reached the culmination of the tragedy of human relations.

The facts of the Gu Mansion bloody case have proved the error of the preset standards, and the etiquette and righteousness that Hai Rui tried so hard to maintain were precisely destroyed by his own hands! The old gentleman only felt a sweetness in his throat, and his body fell straight down.

"Teacher, teacher!" Tang Jingting exclaimed, supported Hai Rui from the side, and several government officials pinched people for him, rubbed his temples, and woke up for a long time.

Hai Rui, who woke up slowly, looked at Qin Lin vigorously, his lips were still speechless, and his eyes were anxious and guilty.

Qin Lin grabbed Hai Rui's somewhat cold hand and patted it gently: "Mr. Hai, what you want to say, I already understand." The person who adjudicates the case must first strictly abide by his own heart and not be moved by external objects, so that he can enforce the law impartially and impartially; And the so-called good intentions, intending to stuff other things than justice into the judgment, and presupposing positions based on rich and poor, young and old, and dignity and inferiority, will only backfire in the end. ”

Hai Rui nodded effortlessly, Tang Jingting squinted his eyes thoughtfully, this master and apprentice are not stupid and mediocre, and they can even be regarded as good officials of the same era, after breaking the obsession barrier in their hearts, their eyes suddenly opened up-

A few days later, Qiongzhou Shilin has not recovered from the shock of the Gu Mansion bloody case, and the expected and long-awaited edict finally arrived: Zhang Siwei, Yan Qing and other joint performances, the imperial court will be the Qing official Hai Rui reinstated, promoted to the right capital of Nanjing.

Du Yushi is a member of the second grade, with Hai Rui's prestige, the imperial court is afraid that it will be further reused, and the people in Qiongzhou Shilin rushed to Hai Rui's residence to congratulate him on his ascension, but he was politely rejected by the two concubines and blocked out of the door.

"Why should the teacher be like this?" In the study, Tang Jingting smiled bitterly.

Hai Ruiyun wrote the chapter like a fly, and it was not until he finished writing the last word that he threw his pen and said with a smile: "What is the face of the old man to do the imperial history of the right capital?" At that time, the minister of Jiangling was not wrong, the old man is a 10,000-year-old grass, he can be proud of the frost and snow and unbearable as a pillar, only Qin Lin's talent is far better than the old man, if the court appoints it properly, it is really the dry city of the country, and the weapon of killing and destroying evil, the old man would rather resign from the imperial history of the right capital, and also protect him as a restoration official! ”
