He raised his head three feet, and there was a god on it. He looked around, but he didn't know where the wind was coming from. Only the white cloth covering the corpse was placed halfway on Yu's body, so white that it was a bit dazzling.
Liu Erhu's complexion became unsightly from the naked eye. He stared at Yu's corpse, then hurriedly retracted his gaze, his body was unstable, he fell to the ground with a thud, and stammered, "Sir, why are there women in the hall? Corpse?!"
He didn't know what happened in court just now, nor how he was caught. The onlookers witnessed the whole process of Gongsun Zhuoyu's autopsy reasoning, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Liu Erhu, wanting to see how he reacted.
"Why is there a woman's body in the hall? Well, this is a long story."
Gongsun Zhuoyu changed his sitting position, but in the end, he still felt uncomfortable leaning against him, so he simply got up from the chair. With his hands on his sleeves, he walked down the steps step by step, pacing back and forth beside Yu's body: "This is a poor woman."
Liu Erhu swallowed, his face stiffened and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Gongsun Zhuoyu leaned over and asked, "Her surname is Yu, her boudoir name is Suyun, Liu Erhu, look, was she born beautiful?"
Liu Erhu's cheek muscles twitched uncontrollably, and Dou Da's cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
Gongsun Zhuoyu likes this kind of cat-and-mouse trick very much. He seems to be telling a story and recreates the scene of the incident that night: "When Yu Suyun went to the market that day to buy cloth, he was kidnapped by an evil young man because of his beauty. When I returned to the mansion, although I was lucky enough to escape, I was still in shock."
Liu Yaozu, who was on the side, straightened his body slightly because he mentioned himself in his words. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zhuoyu kicked him: "Kneel away!"
Is it honorable to rob a civilian girl
Liu Yaozu knelt away in a panic, with a smile on his face.
Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his sleeves and continued: "It was dark and the road was slippery, and Yu Suyun was anxious to go home, but he didn't expect to be targeted by the gangster. The gangster had no wife, lived alone for many years, and was extremely hungry and thirsty. Seeing her beauty, wanting to do the wrong thing..."
He compared a pose, simulating a crime scene: "The other party covered her mouth from behind and dragged her all the way to the red mud road. After rape, he strangled her to death with the bow and arrow he carried with him. Yu Suyun struggled desperately and scratched the gangster's neck. …”
Liu Erhu lowered his head, only to feel the blood flowing backwards all over his body, and even the part of his neck felt strange.
Gongsun Zhuoyu brushed away Yu Suyun's messy hair, which contained a small jade bead, apparently wearing a hairpin and other accessories. After being forcibly taken away, her hair was hooked on what was left inadvertently: "Not only that, after the gangster murdered, they also took away her jewelry, do you think that is it, Liu Erhu?"
The last sentence hits my heart.
Liu Erhu raised his head awkwardly: "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu is the most annoying prisoner of this kind. The iron proof is like a mountain and he has to make up his own words and quibble. He has suffered from flesh and blood and wasted time. He was a little tired from standing, so he simply sat on the steps. Anyway, he had the final say in this small broken place, and he didn't receive any rumors recently that high officials came down to inspect.
Gongsun Zhuoyu pointed at his neck from a distance: "You have a scratch on your neck, how did you get it?"
Liu Erhu was bitten to death and refused to recognize it: "This is because the villain didn't scratch the mosquito very much when he slept at night."
Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded: "Alright, it's fair, although your fingernails are too short to scratch your flesh, I'll take it as your cut for the time being."
The people outside shouted anxiously: "Sir, don't let this murderer go!"
Here door to door, household to household, no one has one or two female dependents, and every three or five years, they have to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and wild fruits. After this incident, if Liu Erhu is not arrested, they will not dare to go up the mountain in the future.
Liu Erhu's face was pale: "I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself that if you said you didn't kill you didn't kill it, it doesn't count if you said it. Looking at Liu Erhu up and down, he only felt that the other party was sloppy: "This official sees that you are big and three thick, you are not like a careful person, and the bow and arrow will affect the life expectancy after the bow string strangled the person, I am afraid you haven't cleaned it up yet, right? ? Um... go to your house now and maybe even find a bloody bowstring."
The head arrester immediately ordered: "Sir, I'll lead someone to search!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu clasped his hands together and fiddled with his thumb: "No hurry, remember to search his house for women's jewelry, if not, go to a nearby pawnshop and ask if a man dressed as an hunter has been pawned in the past three days. Gold hairpins, silver hairpins, etc."
The murderer took the woman's personal accessories, either for money or as a souvenir, to satisfy her inner collecting addiction. If Yu Suyun's hairpin was not found in Liu Erhu's house, it could only be in a pawnshop.
Liu Erhu has lived most of his life and has never seen such a person. When he raped and killed Yu Suyun, there was clearly no one around, but the county magistrate in front of him seemed to have witnessed it with his own eyes, and described the process of his murder and committing the crime exactly. The smile on his face is terrifying.
"My lord, my lord!" Liu Erhu suddenly panicked, banging his head on the ground, crying bitterly: "The villain killed her only because he was obsessed with his mind for a while. It wasn't intentional, it wasn't intentional!"
The case came to light so far, and the people outside were in an uproar. They thought it was a complicity of wealthy businessmen and officials. Who would have thought that the truth would be turned upside down when Gongsun Zhuoyu was turned over. The murderer was really someone else.
Putting aside the time to arrest and search, it took him less than half an hour to deduce the real murderer, which is simply incredible.
The wealthy businessman shook his fan thoughtfully, and saw that the noodle vendor was also huddled in the crowd to watch the excitement, and asked aloud, "Didn't you say that your county magistrate is incompetent, why do you see each other today? , but he has a bit of cleverness."
The noodle peddler scratched his head and was puzzled: "I don't know. God knows why he didn't sleep in the government office today, but the case is on trial."
Du Lingchun smiled, and rarely said aloud, "This person is as wise as a fool."
The hall was full of people at this time. Gongsun Zhuoyu held the hem of the official robe and kicked Liu Erhu upside down: "Everyone is dead, you told me that it was unintentional, how good it was to recognize it earlier, and wasting the official's time!"
After speaking, he walked up to the high seat in three or two steps, slapped the jingtang wood hard, and his voice shook the court: "The criminal, Liu Erhu, raped and murdered Yu Suyun, a woman of a good family, on the evening of the 26th, looting her property, the evidence is conclusive, and the crime cannot be forgiven. Now put in jail to await trial! Retire!"
Liu Erhu got up in a panic and wanted to say more, but the yamen on both sides hit him with fire and water sticks, grabbed him directly, and forcibly dragged him down the hall.
Liu Yaozu knelt at the foot of the hall, first heaving a sigh of relief when he saw this, and then asked diligently and flatteringly, "Sir, what about the grass people?"
"You?" Gongsun Zhuoyu almost forgot about him, took off his official hat, threw it to the master, walked over to Liu Yaozu, squatted down, compared the numbers for him, and threatened: "Go back and ask your father to send three One thousand liang of silver notes will be used as the official's mental loss fee and sleep compensation fee, otherwise you will go to jail with Liu Erhu!"
Liu Yaozu was dumbfounded and said in surprise, "Ah?! My lord, what is this mental loss fee and sleep compensation fee?"
No matter how rich the Liu family is, the banknotes are not from strong winds. Gongsun Zhuoyu belongs to Pixiu, right? !
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "It's not important, the important thing is the three thousand taels of silver!"
After he finished speaking, he got up from the ground, and was served by the servants and washed his hands. Suddenly, he felt hungry in his stomach. Only then did he realize that he had not eaten for a day, and said to the master: "This official is going out to eat a bowl of noodles, and the rest will be troublesome sir. Aftermath."
Wan Chongshan was used to it, and when it wasn't for him to take care of the aftermath, he touched his little goatee: "Sir, go ahead, remember to give money, and don't take credit for a bowl of noodles."
How much salary can a seventh-rank magistrate have, plus Gongsun Zhuoyu likes extravagance, has countless servants, and likes to sell flowers and wine in the golden cave, no amount of money is enough to fill it, credit is a common thing.
Gongsun Zhuoyu waved his hand to go out, but he didn't know whether he heard or not.
The system followed him all the way: [Dear, did you just count as... taking a bribe?]
Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at it and pretended to be stunned: "Take bribes? What bribes? Did I take money from anyone?"
There is currently none, but it will not be certain when the Liu family sends money.
The system was silent, waiting for the next call to him.
When Gongsun Zhuoyu walked out of the gate of the mansion, he happened to see the Qian Shi standing by the roadside, holding a few copper plates in his hands, and begging the passing driver to drag Yu Suyun's body back to his hometown. However, other people think that the money is not good enough, and they refuse to accept this business.
The wealthy businessman didn't leave, he shook his head and sighed, and winked at Du Lingchun. The latter immediately understood, frowned without a trace, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and walked forward, but before he opened his mouth, he saw a green figure appear in front of him.
"Old man, is there any trouble?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu stepped down the stone steps and walked to Qian's side, his voice was clear, and he seemed more approachable than in court.
Seeing this, Mrs Qian leaned on a cane, knelt down tremblingly, and choked with tears: "Thank you, sir, for redressing Suyun's injustice. The old woman plans to take her body back to her hometown, and then she will be buried alive."
Yu Suyun's body was on the side, and after the case was closed, it was returned to his family. Qian Shi didn't dislike anything, and used her old hands to tidy her messy hair on the temples: "This child's parents passed away early, and the mother's family has no relatives. The person is already dead, and the soul should have a place to go."
Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at it: "So it is."
After he finished speaking, he casually called the yamen on duty at the door, and the good man did it in the end: "You call two brothers, and help this old man send the body of his daughter-in-law back to his hometown, so that he can take care of him."
The yamen clasped his fists and took orders: "Yes, my lord!"
Seeing this, Qian was so grateful that he didn't know what to do, and bowed his head and wept: "Your Excellency is Master Qingtian, Master Qingtian, the old woman will go back to engrave the tablet of longevity and pray for the Lord's incense."
The case of Gongsun Zhuoyu was solved, and he panicked that it would be a loss not to gain some reputation. He helped the Qian family: "After the old man is loyal and fierce, this official admires him, not to mention that as a parent official, he should protect the peace of one side's people, but it's just a share. That's it, no need to say thank you."
After saying that, the dispatcher sent Qian Shi away, and then he straightened up. However, he glanced inadvertently, and found a feminine man in purple standing not far away, and he couldn't help but stunned on the spot.
Not sure why, Gongsun Zhuoyu always felt that the other party was a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Just as he was about to recall, the other party had already stepped forward, with a slim figure, indescribably leisurely and calm. The voice is soft and cool, reminiscent of a cold-blooded poisonous snake, with a smile on his face: "Master Gongsun, my master wants to invite you to have a glass of water and wine."
