I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 602 Confession
"My lord." The grandpa of the Qi family stood up tremblingly. If it wasn't for the sake of the village and the Qi clan, the grandpa would never have dared to say this.

But now that the situation has come to an end, even though the great grandfather is terrified, he still bites the bullet and excuses Qi Changlin, "My lord, according to Brother Shi, there was a corpse lying on the bed, and Changlin did not kill anyone."

A group of villagers standing in the yard with their ears pricked up couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they realized that there had been such a scholar in the village in recent years, and since Qi Changlin had gained fame, the Qi family in the village had taken good care of him.

Especially for these relatives and neighbors of Qi Changlin, they would serve a bowl to Qi's family when they cooked some meat dishes at home, maybe they just wanted to get closer and let Qi Changlin support and support them in the future.

If Qi Changlin is going to become a murderer, then their hard work in the past few years will be in vain, and if there is a murderer in the village, the marriages and marriages of the younger generations will be affected in the future.

Mr. Wei, who was recording, paused, and looked at the prefect Jiao Jiao calmly. Qi Changlin's future is now in Mr. Jiao's mind.

However, based on the relationship between Qi Changlin and Jiao Lianyu, coupled with his love for talents, Mr. Wei estimated that Qi Changlin could turn danger into good luck this time.

"I know what the old man said." Zhifu Jiao raised his hand to signal the grandpa of the Qi family to sit down, but he didn't give a clear answer to what he just said, and said again after changing the subject: "Come on, bring Mrs. Qi here."

The words of Qiu Huaixin and Shi Song can be considered to explain why there was a person wearing Qiu Huaixin's coat on the bed in the guest room, but now there is still something unclear. Lady Qi knew that there were guests at home, and she also knew that Qiu Huaixin was drunk and had a rest in the guest room. Why did you go to the guest room by yourself.

The villager took a look at the two women at the door, one of them was the daughter-in-law of the villager, and the other was the daughter-in-law of the Qi family. In terms of seniority, she was Qi Changlin's aunt after a generation. It's just right for the lady to bring it back to talk.

During the waiting period, Captain Liu suddenly walked in with big strides, saluted Zhifu Jiao, and then walked over, approached Zhifu Jiao and replied in a low voice: "My lord, I have just questioned the villagers, and they said... "

Zhifu Jiao frowned, motioning for Mr. Wei to come forward, and then quickly asked Catcher Liu, "There was a sound in the guest room at that time?"

"Yes, the reason why the villagers found something wrong was because there was a sound in the house, and the second son and the others were on their way to the medical center at that time." Detective Liu quickly questioned several villagers, and their confessions were all consistent.

At that time, there was the sound of a man and a woman making love in the house, and the villagers found out that something was wrong, otherwise they would not dare to break into the guest room where the nobleman rests.

Master Wei's complexion also changed when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Qi's clothes are disheveled, and there are traces of happiness on her neck?"

According to Mr. Qiu, the one lying on the bed was a corpse, so how could it be possible to make a sound?Even if the person was not dead at the time, this person was an assassin, and if he woke up at this moment, he would leave immediately, so why would he be so anxious that a pervert would lay hands on the unconscious Lady Qi.

He waved his hand to tell Catcher Liu to go down quickly. Zhifu Jiao and Master Wei looked at each other. No matter how many pushers were involved in this conspiracy, one thing is certain that they moved Mrs. Qi to the bed in the guest room, and made these marks on her body, even Deliberately making a cheerful voice to attract the attention of the villagers, the purpose of all this is to plot against Qiu Huaixin and to ruin his reputation.

"My lord, the people behind this scene probably didn't expect that the person lying on the bed in the guest room is not Mr. Qiu San." Mr. Wei glanced at Qiu Huaixin who was sitting below with a relaxed expression. It is rumored in Qianzhong that Mr. Qiu's youngest son is also a spoiled child. Dude, born in a family of officials and officials, but now he doesn't even have any fame.

But Master Wei had to say at this time that the tiger father has no dogs and sons, and Qiu Huaixin was able to get rid of the golden cicada, which is a plan, he must be a man of the city, at least not a dandy like the rumors.

"It doesn't matter whether he knew about it in advance or he was aware of it when it happened, but he shouldn't have involved the innocent woman." Jiao Zhifu's face was sullen, and the matter has come to this point. lady.

Even if there is a dead body on the bed, all the mouths can make money, and the gossip of the village can kill Mrs. Qi, otherwise she would not hang herself after waking up.

The whispers of Zhifu Jiao and Lord Wei could not be heard clearly by the people sitting in the main room. Grandpa Qi and Murong Zheng only had one idea, which was to clear Qi Changlin of the crime. As for Mrs. Qi's life and death, neither of them cared, saying After all, she was just a village woman.

"My lord, drink tea." Shi Song brought a cup of tea and handed it to Qiu Huaixin. The third son drank a lot of wine at noon, and then blew a cold wind in the mountains. Seeing Qiu Huaixin's complexion was not good, Shi Song was worried that he might have caught the cold .

The hot tea can't make the coldness on Qiu Huaixin's face disappear. I avoided it without any risk, but it also proves from the side that there are indeed people who want to attack me, wanting to ruin my reputation so that I can't get married with the fifth girl of the Gu family , and this behind-the-scenes person is from the Wu family, and it is more likely to be his sister-in-law.

Qiu Huaixin's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened a little bit. When Zhan Feiyu said it, he thought it was nonsense. He was really the one who won the small three yuan. He was so keen that even his elder brother and father would be afraid. There is no doubt that the sister-in-law is the real culprit behind the successive attacks on him.

Mrs. Qi finally appeared in the main room with the support of the two women. At this moment, she was kneeling on the ground with a pale complexion, and her neck was covered with red marks from the cloth strips when she was hanged. died.

"Mr. Qi, I ask you why you appeared in the guest room? Did you do it yourself or was someone coercing you?" Zhifu Jiao's face was cold and dignified, but Mr. Wei, who was familiar with him, could tell that Zhifu Jiao wanted to Excuse Mrs. Qi and let her live.

If Mrs. Qi was knocked out and thrown on the bed, she was also a victim, and what was lying on the bed was just a corpse. Although Mrs. Qi's reputation was still damaged, the degree was much lighter.

Coupled with Qi Changlin's act of stabbing the "adulter" to death with scissors in a fit of anger, it shows that he also values ​​love and righteousness. Even if he reconciles in the future, Qi Changlin will take care of him a little bit, and Mrs. Qi will still have a way out in the village.

Lady Qi stared blankly at Qi Changlin who was kneeling next to him, looked at the dried blood on his robe, and thought of her daring to kill Lord Qiu's third son because of herself in a fit of anger, two lines of tears rolled from her eyes Falling down, fortunate enough to meet this beloved man, what more can I ask for?
"Miss, don't be afraid, you can answer whatever your lord asks." Qi Changlin's voice was hoarse, his heart ached when he saw his wife with dull eyes, and couldn't help but hate Qiu Huaixin who was sitting beside him.

Since he can avoid calculations, why does he allow his wife to be abused?

He thought he was a close friend who could be entrusted with life and death, but at this moment Qi Changlin realized that he, a poor scholar, was a clown in the eyes of Mr. Qiu, that's why he allowed his wife to be calculated, framed, and humiliated so heartlessly.

Mrs. Qi was silent for a while, and finally raised her head to look at Zhifu Jiao who was sitting upright, "This is the end of the matter, the woman has lost her chastity, I implore you to return my innocence, the woman will die without complaint."

After the words fell, Mrs. Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed heavily, her bony body knelt on the ground, and thinking about what Mrs. Qi said just now, the eyes of the women outside the hall were wet. They didn't understand the calculations of the men, but They knew Miss Qi's innocence and pain.

Qiu Huaixin's expression was cold. If it had been before, he might not have been able to bear it, but when he thought that Wu's sister-in-law could plot against him so cruelly, showing weakness and tears to women, Qiu Huaixin was on guard. People were unpredictable, even a weak woman People may also have the most poisonous woman's heart!
Looking at Mrs. Qi who was still kowtowing and kneeling, Zhifu Jiao couldn't help sighing. Just because he knew Qi Changlin, Zhifu Jiao also knew that it was not easy for Mrs. Qi to take care of her paralyzed mother-in-law, raise two children, and tend the fields. Qi Changlin is such a virtuous and filial woman in terms of basic necessities of life, but now she is forced to have nowhere to go.

"Miss Qi, get up for now..." Zhifu Jiao's face suddenly changed in the middle of speaking, and he stood up abruptly, only to see a small puddle of blood slowly spreading from under Mrs. Qi's body.

The main room was in turmoil again, and the barefoot doctor in the village was still there. At this moment, everyone knew that Mrs. Qi had stabbed her chest with a hammer before she came to the main room to answer. Blood flowed out from the wound.

"My lady, why are you so stupid?" Hugging the weak lady Qi, Qi Changlin's eyes were red, but looking at the clothes on her chest that were gradually stained red with blood, Qi Changlin knew that even if there was a good hand to rejuvenate the doctor here, there would be no harm. Fa saved people.

"Xianggong..." Breathing weakly, Mrs. Qi held Qi Changlin's hand with her icy cold hand, and smiled silently, "I can marry Xianggong...I will die without regret..."

After finishing these words with difficulty, Mrs. Qi's body twitched twice in pain, and suddenly gathered the last bit of strength, her body turned over and fell to the ground, but at this moment, she was facing Qiu Huaixin's direction.

"Little lady's life is cheap... please let me go... let me go..." Mrs. Qi reached out and grabbed Qiu Huaixin's direction, as if she wanted to grab his robe and beg for mercy, but the hand she stretched out was in the end. He fell down weakly, and finally lost his breath.

Qiu Huaixin was a little dazed. He had been thinking about his sister-in-law Wu just now. As for why Mrs. Qi appeared on the bed in the guest room, Qiu Huaixin really knew, so he couldn't feel any sympathy for her.

But looking at Mrs. Qi, who had plotted against him even after she died, Qiu Huaixin stood up cheerfully, with anger in his eyes, why did he let Qi Changlin go?
I was the one who was calculated from the beginning to the end. There was something wrong with the wine I drank at noon. The wine came from the Qi family. I hadn't held Qi Changlin and Mrs. Qi accountable, but instead I was accused of forcing an innocent woman to death. ?
