Chapter 311: Trial of the case

Li Huzi, who was as strong as an ox, put his head on the ground in public, waiting for the prefect to ascend to the court, and the surrounding crowd was densely crowded, why did the news of the murder spread quickly, and everyone praised him as a hero.

"The eldest young master took people away." Li Qiu whispered.

"Hmm." Xu Hao, who had already expected it, was speechless, and after a while, he ascended to the hall, and as the flow of people entered the yamen to watch, he saw Li Huzi carrying the head of the person and coming in with the post.

Because Xu Wen lost his hand and didn't care about the matter, the original Cheng of Na Xiangyue and the others at first insisted that it was Liu's sister-in-law who was fighting for murder, and after they came, they knew that it was Li Huzi who did it, so they changed it from the beginning, and it was also handed over with the submission.

Li Huzi and the lieutenant chief respectively revealed their names and places of origin, and the prefect asked, "When did the deceased commit adultery?" ”

Li Huzi shook his head and said: "I don't know when it started, I have been following King Yan to fight recently, and I have been away from home for a long time, but my wife's appearance is suspicious. ”

The prefect asked the lieutenant again: "Where is the corpse capital?" ”

Li Chang replied: "They are all in the main room of the master of Xujia Zhuangzi, and in the middle is a cool kang covered with red felt, and the felt is covered with azure satin mattresses, and there is a rattan mat on the mattress. At that time, Yuebai Huluo's sheet and a rattan pillow were abandoned on the ground, the woman's corpse slept well on the kang, and the man's corpse was half-cut on the kang and the lower half under the kang. ”

The prefect asked, "How did you kill it?" ”

Li Huzi said: "The villain went in, the two of them slept soundly, and the moon looked at it for fear of killing the wrong person, and lit a candle to take care of it clearly, and my wife also held the yang for that Wang Yu in her hand." I couldn't get angry, so I cut off my wife's head in my dream, but Wang Yu still didn't wake up, and woke him up to understand. After waking up, he promised gold and silver and me to ask for mercy, but the villain grabbed his hair and cut off his head. ”

The prefect asked again, "How did you get into the house?" "Over the wall."

"Who else is in the house?" "There was a housekeeper's daughter-in-law sleeping in the wing, and a family daughter-in-law sleeping in the outhouse."

"How do you know?" "The villain went to the wing room at first to see if it was not. That's why I went to the main room. ”

The prefect groaned for a moment and said, "The weather is hot, the corpse can't be delayed, deliver the two heads to the Xu family, buy a coffin for burial." Twenty taels of silver and Li Huzi were cut off for the purpose of marrying a wife, and they were escorted out to hand over the reply immediately, and the express delivery came. ”

Li Huzi clenched his fists and said: "The villain is not rare for his family's silver. ”

The prefect was just about to speak, Dian Bo came over and whispered: "My lord, this Xu family is the Xu family in Beiping, Xu Dudu is in the city right now, and the dead person is the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion." ”

The prefect said displeasedly: "What does that have to do with this official?" What do you have to do with Xu Dudu? Stand back. The officer asked you. How can you not collect these twenty taels of silver? ”

Li Huzi said: "Even if you force the villain to accept it, you can only throw it away when you turn around, and I don't want the dirty money of the Xu family." ”

The prefect smiled: "Which one is really with your money, the official is trying you, and he will sit in the prison for a while." ”

Xu Hao, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled with satisfaction, turned around and left with confidence, this prefect is not someone else, but a master who is good at wild grass, and there will definitely be no mistakes in the trial of the case with him.

Speaking of which, the reason why Xie Jin appeared in Beiping has a lot to do with Xu Hao. In that year, Li Shanchang was executed by the first emperor for his crimes, and Xie Jin wrote a letter to defend the injustice of the Korean public, plus he was upright and upright and not afraid of the powerful since he came out, and he repeatedly neglected the needle and malpracticed. The impeachment of traitors and villains offended many officials.

When he was a county official, he was demoted for giving Li Shanchang grievances, Zhu Yuanzhang admired him very much, and waited for Xu Hao to take the Tongsheng exam. Xie Jin was promoted to the sixth ministry to give the matter, and soon on behalf of the imperial history Xia Changwen on the "Yuan Tai treacherous state", the imperial history Yuan Tai despised the court. Corrupt and bent the law, framed Zhongliang and other crimes, then Yuan Tai was heavily punished by the imperial court because he held a grudge against it.

Xu Hao had already been a janissary at that time, but he had always been indifferent to the affairs of the court, and he didn't have that status if he wanted to care.

Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that Xie Jin's repeated impeachment of officials at higher levels lacks self-cultivation, and he has to think about self-cultivation behind closed doors, otherwise he will become the target of public criticism sooner or later, and like Xu Hao, he intends to leave it to Zhu Yunwen in the future.

In order to protect Xie Jin, he summoned his father to Beijing, saying that Er was a late bloomer, and if he returned home with his son to recuperate physically and mentally, it would be not too late to use Xie Jin ten years later.

In this way, Xie Jin returned to his hometown with his father and wrote books behind closed doors. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, Xie Jin's grief was unbearable and went to Beijing to mourn, Yuan Tai took the opportunity to attack him for entering Beijing without abiding by the edict, and his mother was not buried, and his old father was ninety years old, so he should stay at home and fulfill his filial piety.

Zhu Yunwen, who advocates filial piety, then depreciated Xie Jin as a guard in Hezhou, Gansu, Xu Hao accidentally learned about it and mentioned it to Zhu Di, Zhu Di loved his talent and sent someone to dredge the ministry, changed to Beiping as an official, and sent someone to bury his mother, and his brother Xie Lun was filial piety at home to support his father.

Speaking of the Xie family, Hongwu 20 years Xie Jin and eldest brother Xie Lun, brother-in-law Huang Jinhua at the same time Jinshi and the first, it is a good story.

After King Yan raised his army, he appointed Xie Jin, who was very famous, as the prefect, and although Xie Jin said that he had always been upright and insisted on justice, he was not pedantic, and Xu Hao, like Xu Hao, did not think that Zhu Di's rebellion was a great rebellion, and it was said that the descendants of the first emperor were competing for the throne, since he was under Zhu Di's rule, so he gladly took office.

Xie Jin asked the chief: "What is the daughter-in-law?" The lieutenant said, "It's Liu." ”

Xie Jin dialed a sign and sent a few horses, "Quickly detain the Liu family and bring the heads back." ”

Just as the people were talking about this, half an hour later, Liu was escorted in by the official, Xie Jin said with a calm face: "You told the story from the beginning to the end in detail, and only taught the official to understand this matter in his heart, so he didn't delve into it." If you don't tell the truth, you will have to bring in the torture equipment. ”

Seeing this, the official took a clamping stick and came up to serve, Liu was so frightened that he trembled, and then he said it really clearly, and poured out all the details before and after Xu Wen fell in love with Li Niangzi, and the people immediately made an uproar, causing Li Qiu to curse: "Damn, our family's reputation is lost now." ”

Mu Yi said: "Xu Wen's embarrassing appearance has nothing to do with the whole family, and besides, this kind of unsightly thing has happened a lot in wealthy families, so it's not strange." ”

Li Qiu sighed, he didn't expect Wang Yu to be slaughtered like this, although he was to blame, after all, he grew up together since childhood, and he was very emotional for a while.

I heard Xie Jin, who was sitting in the hall, say: "You are so shameless, you should have gone to your clothes and re-beaten the thirty boards, but you told the truth for yourself, so let's avoid beating." and brought up some of the women and their men. ”

This time, it didn't take half an hour, and the Qi family and several women who had a leg with Xu Wen were all brought in, and the official Xie Jinming took off their pants in public and slapped them with thirty boards.

In the crackling sound, the women lying on the ground cried and screamed again and again, and Xie Jin said to several men: "Shameless slave, good wife of discipline!" "I allocated a few lots, all of them were beaten with 20 boards, and all of them were sent to a cell to be locked up for three months.

Li Qiu said to Mu Yi: "They are all detained in prison, I have to go to Zhuangxia to deal with the aftermath." After saying that, he rode to the countryside, Lamei was standing in the courtyard with six gods, everyone in the Zhuangzi was disdainful, and no one was willing to come to help, and on a hot day, the two corpses gradually swollen.

Li Qiu was furious and scolded the people in the village to come over to help, and asked him to come to the house to sew his head on his neck with needle and thread, and soon dared to make two sets of shrouds, and finally dressed them neatly, bought two coffins and put them into the burial, and nailed the coffin lid.

Lamei jumped to her feet angrily and said to Li Qiu: "Why don't you throw that slut's body out and feed it to the dogs?" And give her a corpse? ”

Li Qiu said angrily: "The deceased is the greatest, so she and your man have been married for a few nights, and they don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha." ”

"You!" Lamei trembled angrily, but there was nothing to be done.

Li Qiu remembered his feelings when he was a child, and found someone to carry Li Niangzi's coffin out of the temple outside for storage, and called a few people to burn paper every day, and also recommended it to Wang Yujianjiao, and they were buried three days later.

It is said that here Xie Jin's life prison brought Li Huzi out and asked, "Do you want to sue Xu Wen?" ”

Li Huzi had the intention of killing and taking revenge, and said: "My wife is dead, so let's stop it." ”

Xie Jin Zhengse said: "Xu Wen is guilty of adultery, at most dozens of banban for a few months, this official should be clear about this case to the political secretary and Yan Wangfu, how to deal with Xu Wen has the above source, and will also inform the Xu family of the cause and effect of this case, thinking that the state has national law and family rules, the Xu family will not be good at resting, even if it makes his family take it as a warning in the future, pay 100 stones of grain to atone for Xu Wen's crimes, if he dares to commit it again in the future, the two crimes will be punished together." ”

After finishing speaking, he also dialed a few lots, and slapped Lihuzi's twenty boards in public, and he wore red.

Li Huzi, who returned to the countryside, didn't care about his wife's body, even abandoned his home, quietly gathered his boss and other colleagues, and went to the front line to kill the enemy.

Xufu Qianshoutang, the old lady said bitterly: "I didn't expect Xu Wen to do so many shameless things again and again, and now there is a death, and the face of the Xu family has been lost to him, and he will be kicked out of the house from now on, my Xu family has no such children and grandchildren." ”

Wang was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Mother, you are angry, even if Wen'er makes a mistake, but after all, he is the eldest grandson of the eldest house, and besides, I am a biological son, and I will not live without him." ”

The old lady said angrily: "It's all because you don't have a way to teach your son on weekdays, since you love your son, then your mother and son will get out of the house for me." ”

Xiao's Liu hurriedly pleaded, Wang Xuanqing, Zhu Qiaoqiao, Mu Ningxue and other daughters-in-law also followed to help talk, and the old lady sighed for a long time: "That's it, in the future, her family will rush to the countryside to live, fend for herself, anyway, if she doesn't reflect on her mistakes for a day, she won't be allowed to come back for a day." ”

Wang had nothing to say so far, at least there was a glimmer of hope, and that day he took Geng's and other dozen people, packed up and went to the countryside miserably, Wang Xuanqing had nothing to do with this matter, but stayed in the city.

Xu Hao was ordered to arrest Xu Wen and go home to think about it behind closed doors, and asked Zhou Peng to take care of Xiangling Xiangxuan's affairs, and also rushed to the front line with people.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is on August 15 in the near future, the Xu family is destined to not be reunited this year, and with the departure of Xu Hao and other men, the depressing atmosphere has come again.

The big battle is coming! (To be continued......)
