Chapter 108
I saw Uncle Pang Jiu put his head on the ground in a rage, and said: "Pang Jiu, a grassroots man, kowtow to the grandfather."

Fu Renyi said sharply: "Pang Jiu, do you know why I brought you to the county government?"

Uncle Pang Jiu said, "Because I killed someone!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the onlookers were shocked, but Jiang Youzhi was also shocked. She never thought that Uncle Pang Jiushu, who kept saying that he was wronged all day long, would plead guilty immediately today, which is really strange!

Hearing this, Fu Renyi slammed down the gavel in his hand, and said sharply: "In this way, you have confessed your guilt! You are so bold and unreasonable that you dare to disregard human life openly in broad daylight. Hurry up and tell the truth!"

Uncle Pang Jiu said: "Go back to my lord, the night before yesterday, the Caomin was about to go to sleep, but I heard someone knocking on the door. To be on the safe side, the Caomin didn't want to pay attention, but the man refused to leave anyway, so the Caomin got up and chased him away. , but he insisted on staying, I see him...he had some money on him, so he pretended to invite him in. That night, Cao Min killed him with his own hands while he was asleep, and because he was afraid that things would be exposed, he sent him in overnight. Buried in my own yard! Grandpa, please convict me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Youzhi frowned even tighter. Taking a closer look at Pang Jiushu's appearance, he seemed to be threatened under heavy punishment, and had no choice but to confess.

Here, Fu Renyi asked again: "Do you know, who is this person's surname, where is his family name, and why did he go to Tipan Village?"

Uncle Pang Jiu replied: "The surname is Huang, and he is from the capital, Jingdu. He himself said that he is going to the county to do business."

Jiang Youzhi suddenly thought that the deceased in the case of Xiaotong Village was also surnamed Huang, who was also from Jingdu, the capital city. Could there be any connection between the two cases?
Fu Renyi said quickly: "So, you are looking for money, and then you are plotting evil, disregarding human life, and committing such heinous crimes!"

Pang Jiushu didn't know why, but he was crying. He cried and said, "Yes, my lord, people were killed by grass-roots people!"

Fu Renyi glanced at the crowd outside, and said sharply: "Okay! Since you have pleaded guilty, then sign and pledge! Come here, take the criminal Pang Jiu down, sign and pledge, and put him in the prison, waiting to be released!"

Then it was Cui Er who was brought up to the hall, and Cui Er knelt down on the ground and said: "Caomin reminded Er to kowtow to the grandfather."

Seeing Cui Er, Jiang Youzhi was even more stunned. It seems that the county magistrate has put a lot of effort into Cui Er. He also looks scarred and must have suffered a lot of torture.

As soon as Fu Renyi saw Cui Er, he said sharply: "Cui Er, yesterday you were tortured and sophistryed in the hall, and you refused to plead guilty. I have a great grace in the upper body, and I spare you the severe punishment. I want to give you some time. Please let me take care of you." Think about it, in today's hall, if you continue to lie and cheat in an attempt to escape the crime, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Seeing that Cui Er seemed to have made up his mind, he opened his mouth and said, "Grandfather, the man was killed by the grass-roots, and the grass-folk plead guilty!"

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers seemed to explode, and they couldn't help commenting: "Is this person crazy! He was beaten up like that yesterday, and he still cried for injustice, and refused to admit his guilt. After only one night, he pleaded guilty!"

"That's right, if that's the case, it's better to just plead guilty yesterday, so you won't have to suffer that punishment..."

Hearing the discussions among the public, Jiang Youzhi also felt it was incredible. Cui Er's attitude was very clear in yesterday's trial, but today it has changed so quickly. Is it really a trick of torture, or is there something else hidden?
Hearing this, Fu Renyi slapped the gavel in his hand vigorously, and said sharply: "Today you count yourself as acquainted, and you admit to killing people, have you thought about it?"

Naturally, he also heard the discussion of the people at the door, so he asked Cui Er like this.

Cui Er closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Yes, people were killed by grass-roots people, and grass-roots people will never go back on their word!"

Fu Renyi nodded, and then said: "Come here, put the criminal Cui Er in prison like a prison, sign and pledge, and wait for his release!"

When the crowd dispersed, Jiang Youzhi said to Pei Xun with some doubts: "Why did these two plead guilty together today? Especially Cui Er, he was arguing in the classroom yesterday with a tough attitude and refused to plead guilty. It's really strange that he suddenly changed his tone in one night..."

Pei Xun also said: "This matter is indeed strange. There is probably a close connection between the two cases of Xiaotong Village and Dipang Village. They have five faces, and homicides happen every day, and the five people who died were all surnamed Huang. They are also from Jingdu, the capital city, even if it is a coincidence, it is impossible for the five of them to be so similar."

Jiang Youzhi nodded after hearing this, and said, "Then what happened to the first three murders?"

Pei Xun said: "The cases have all been closed, and the prisoners have all been hastily executed."

"Rush to death!" Jiang Youzhi said in surprise, then she recalled the trial situation just now, and said: "It seems that these cases are very strange."

When the two got into the carriage together, Pei Xun said: "Let's go to Xiaotong Village first."

When a few people arrived at Xiaotong Village, they found that Xiaotong Village was still very prosperous. The family of Cui Er, who had the homicide, had an old father. Cui Er's case is here."

Hearing this, the old man immediately knelt on the ground and begged: "My lord, my son didn't kill anyone! He can't kill anyone, please be careful!"

Jiang Youzhi comforted: "Old man, get up quickly, and take us to look around first."

When they arrived at the backyard where the corpse was buried, Jiang Youzhi carefully looked at the soil here, and said: "The soil here is the same as the soil where Uncle Pang Jiu's family buried the corpse. There is no trace of blood. I'm afraid the murderer didn't kill the corpse immediately. Buried, but Uncle Pang Jiu said during the court trial that he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he buried him in his courtyard overnight."

After entering the house, the old man led them into a room of Sister Lie's, and said, "This is the room that the guest borrowed."

Jiang Youzhi walked into the room, and the blood on the bed caught her attention. The bedding was messy. The guest seemed to wake up before being killed, so she resisted desperately.

Suddenly, she saw that there seemed to be something strange behind the pillow that was erected against the wall, so she moved the pillow away, and a bloody handprint and a bloody handprint appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Jiang Youzhi hurriedly said to Ah Chang behind him, "A Chang, rub this fingerprint."

Ah Chang immediately started to do it. After a while, Ah Chang presented her the rubbed fingerprints. Jiang Youzhi observed while saying, "These fingerprints can only belong to two people."

Ah Chang subconsciously said, "The fingerprints must belong to the murderer or the victim."

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "That's true."
