Chapter 042: A Murderer Who Is Too Smart.

The murderer was too smart, and when Hanarang thought that the murderer was too smart, he suddenly felt that things were starting to become clear.

If a person kills someone, what is the most important result he wants?

Of course, he can live, he can not be discovered, he can not pay for his life, and for this purpose, what will he do?

Don't hesitate to kill again for this, don't put a thousand taels of silver!

When the matter is clear, all they have to do is to get the murderer to be punished.

The rain was still falling, and a few thunderclaps rang out from time to time.

Bao Zheng ascended to the hall again, and the two officials escorted Zhu Yougui over, and after a few mighty sounds, Bao Zheng patted a piece of Xingtang wood and said coldly: "Zhu Yougui, tell the truth about your killing of Dong Cheng, and don't want to beg for a beating." ”

Zhu Yougui knelt on top of the lobby, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "My lord was wronged, I just stole the IOU, and I didn't kill Dong Cheng, I hope your lord will see it." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yougui was still quibbling, Hua Lang smiled faintly and said, "Really?" ”

Zhu Yougui saw that it was Hualang, and his heart sank, but he still insisted: "That's right, I just stole the IOU, and didn't kill Dong Cheng, if you have to wronged me and kill Dong Cheng, I have nothing to do, who made you open your official words, but even so, you must come up with evidence." ”

Zhu Yougui is indeed very smart, and his eloquence is very good, Hua Lang smiled coldly after hearing it, and said: "You want evidence, it's actually very simple, if you don't know that Dong Cheng is dead, how dare you steal that IOU?" If Dong Cheng hadn't died, what was the use of you stealing that IOU? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood, if Zhu Yougui didn't know that Dong Cheng was dead, and he really dared to steal the IOU, even if he stole the IOU, Dong Cheng still had a jade pendant in his hand as proof, and when he arrived at the county office, Zhu Yougui still owed Dong Cheng money.

Hua Lang's words left Zhu Yougui speechless.

After a long time, Zhu Yougui suddenly shouted that he was wronged, and said: "Wronged, how could I kill Dong Cheng because of a thousand taels of silver, besides, if I really killed Dong Cheng for that thousand taels of silver, how could I not take Dong Cheng's remaining more than 1,000 taels of silver, am I stupid?" ”

This problem has always bothered them with Hualang, but now this problem is no longer a problem.

"It's not that you're stupid, but you're too smart, your purpose is just to kill Dong Cheng without having to repay the debt of more than 1,000 taels, you don't have the intention of asking for the 1,000 taels of silver in Dong Cheng's hand, because you know very well that if you take the silver from Dong Cheng, it will inevitably expose your motive for killing, if you don't take the more than 1,000 taels of silver, then you can confuse everyone, so that the people of the yamen can't think of what the murderer killed Dong Cheng for, you do this just to protect yourself, give up 1,000 taels of silver to save your life, Anyone can do it. ”

After Hua Lang finished speaking, Zhu Yougui's face suddenly turned pale, and he almost didn't dare to look up at Hua Lang, because he felt that Hua Lang was too terrible, he thought that no one would be able to guess his purpose of not wanting a thousand taels of silver, but now he was told by Hua Lang.

Seeing that Zhu Yougui was silent, Bao Zheng shouted loudly and said, "Zhu Yougui, tell me about your murder in detail." ”

Several officials were powerful again, which was very scary, and Zhu Yougui saw that the matter had been revealed, so he had no choice but to say: "Lord Hui, that Dong Cheng was indeed killed by me." ”

Bao Zheng's eyes widened and said, "Why did you want to kill him?" ”

Zhu Yougui sighed and said: "Half a month ago, I borrowed Dong Cheng a thousand taels of silver, and went to Hangzhou to buy a batch of silk, as long as this batch of silk can be transported, I can earn a lot of silver, but I didn't expect that when transporting silk, we met robbers, and the batch of silk worth more than 1,000 taels was robbed by those robbers. I had to come up with this murderous plan. ”

Speaking of killing, everyone was suddenly excited, they looked at Zhu Yougui, and just hoped that he would continue to speak quickly.

"After inquiry, I learned that Dong Cheng was going to buy goods, after I got the news, I felt that I was on the outskirts of the city, when Dong Cheng left the city gate and walked the eldest brother for about half an hour, I suddenly rushed out from behind and assassinated him there, originally, after killing Dong Cheng, I was going to take Dong Cheng's silver two pieces away How to go into a batch of silk, but then I thought about it, after taking it away, I would inevitably be suspected, and leave the silver, but it can confuse the people of the government, so I thought about it, I gave up more than a thousand taels of silver, Quickly fled the scene. ”

"You don't feel at ease after killing someone, do you?"

Zhu Yougui nodded: "Of course I can't rest assured, because Dong Cheng still has an IOU in his hand, if it is discovered by his wife, she will definitely refuse to give up, at that time, the consequences I will face are the same, for this reason, I found an opportunity to enter Dong Cheng's rice grain store, and found the IOU from the account book, but I was too excited at that time, so I ignored that I still have a jade pendant in Dong Cheng's hand, if it wasn't for the sudden reminder of the adult that day, I would really have given it a look." ”

Bao Zheng smiled coldly: "If it weren't for that jade pendant, we wouldn't have been able to catch you at all!" ”

The case of Dong Cheng's murder was completely solved, Zhu Yougui should pay for his life for murder, Mr. Bookkeeper was greedy for money, and let him go back after a few fights, and Mrs. Dong and Feng Ji, a pair of dog men and women, were sentenced to several years in prison after being beaten, and Ma Xiaoliu, who rented the carriage, was acquitted, and used Dong Cheng's silver to compensate Ma Xiaoliu for his lost wages in the past few days.

After Bao Zheng's verdict, he won the hearts of the people, and everyone praised him.

In addition, Bao Zheng retried the unjust case in prison and released a large number of innocent people, and the people of Changxian County praised Bao Zheng even more on this day.

And this day at dusk, the sky is clear, the clouds are light, the wind blows with a faint heat, a scholar looks like a person with a complaint, in front of the yamen sounded the drum of grievances, the two officials saw this scholar, their faces suddenly changed, the last time this Wu Jun came to the county government to complain, Thursday Ping did not ask, he let people beat him, and then drove him out, at that time he carried him out of the court, it was the two of them who were the officials.

Now that Wu Jun has come to sue again, should they inform the master of this matter?

Just when the two officials hesitated, a person walked out of the county office, and after he saw Wu Jun, he immediately said angrily: "You down-and-out scholar, and you want to sue Lord Ben, let me tell you, don't think about it, if you don't want to be beaten again, go back quickly." ”
