Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 243 The Identity of the Young Woman

The tiger stool was carried up, and He Mengyou was escorted by several government servants to sit on the tiger stool.

Wei Pingxiao sternly said: "He Mengyou, you have repeatedly committed murder under the eyes of this official. This official judges that you are seriously suspected of murder. If you confess honestly, you will be spared the pain of flesh and blood."

He Mengyou cried and shouted: "My lord, the grass people are wrong, the grass people are really wrong, the grass people deserve death, the grass people are just in a hurry, one or two of them wronged the grass people, the grass people didn't kill people, my lord, the grass people."

"Still sophistry. Execute the sentence." Wei Pingxiao didn't listen at all, and directly ordered the yamen servant to carry out the sentence.

The yamen servants were not relentless, one of them lifted Wei Pingxiao's feet, and the other put two bricks under his feet.As for the hamstring, because the knee was firmly tied to the stool by the rope and could not move, it started to tear like pain.

The hall was full of He Mengyou's screams, and with his screams, the ice on the lobby began to melt gradually, and finally turned into water completely, the ground was wet, the walls were also wet, and the beams were like Water dripped everywhere like a leak.

As if saying something silently.

Wei Pingxiao was startled again, more and more convinced that He Mengyou killed someone, and secretly guessed in his heart, this posture, I am afraid that if he is not brought to justice, this unjustly killed person will not give up.

"He Mengyou, can you plead guilty?" Wei Pingxiao asked loudly again.

Although He Mengyou felt that his leg was about to be broken, he still gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Caomin didn't kill anyone."

Wei Pingxiao's expression became a bit more ruthless, "If you keep talking hard, you will be punished more." So two more yamen servants raised their feet and laid bricks.

At that time, three bricks had been placed under He Mengyou's heels, and his entire leg had already shown an abnormal curvature.

And when the fourth brick was put on the mat, He Mengyou began to scream heart-piercingly, and before he lasted a few breaths, he said in pain: "I will recruit, I will recruit, I did kill someone, I will recruit."

He Zhi was terrified when he heard it, but he couldn't do anything.The coldness of the water stains on the ground, like strands of hair, was passing through his knees, wrapping around his body strand by strand, bitingly cold.He could only shrink his neck and close his eyes, not daring to say a word.

Wei Pingxiao snorted, signaled the yamen servant to remove a piece of brick, and then ordered He Mengyou, "Be honest and explain your murder process clearly."

He Mengyou was sweating profusely from the pain, and said weakly: "That is indeed a maid. Seeing how pretty she is, the Caomin promoted her as a servant girl in the inner room, and because the wife didn't like it, they sent her to the house outside the house. Live in the yard.

That day, she tried to instigate Cao Min to divorce her wife and marry her as his official wife. She was a servant, but she dared to offend her. Cao Min was upset, so he gave her a slap, not wanting her to hit her head on the corner of the table, and then die unexpectedly .

Even if it was just a servant girl in the inner room, her family's ugliness should not be publicized, so Cao Min asked two servants to take the maid out overnight and bury her. "

"My lord, he lied." Li Sheng's daughter-in-law quickly retorted: "I have heard that young woman's screams for several nights. I think being beaten is a common occurrence. It is impossible to just slap her."

A sneer appeared on the corner of He Mengyou's mouth, "She is proud of being favored. As the master, it is only natural for me to teach my slaves a lesson."

Li Sheng's daughter-in-law choked, furious.Whether it is a domestic servant or a foreign servant, as long as the contract of sale is signed, life and death are under the control of the master. If the person who died was really a servant in the house, there is really no way to convict He Mengyou of this matter.

Wei Pingxiao obviously understood this truth.Regardless of the beating process, in short, He Mengyou has admitted that he killed someone, but if he wants to be convicted, then the identity of this person is very important.

Is it really a servant in the house?But if it was a servant, the matter would not go to such a point. As long as he admitted that the person who was killed was a servant, he would have nothing to do with it.

"If it's really just a domestic servant, why didn't you admit it at the beginning?" Wei Pingxiao asked.

He Mengyou replied again, "The grassroots are afraid that the news will spread, and Yu He's family will have a bad reputation, so they tried to hide it from the beginning."

Zhufeng, who had been watching the show, finally spoke again, "My lord, that woman is not a servant of the He family, and there are witnesses to testify."

There are still witnesses?Wei Pingxiao took a look at Zhuifeng, and shouted again: "Witness witness."

Soon, another witness was passed to the court. Although he was dressed in plain clothes, he had been surrounded by incense powder all year round. Every step he took was filled with the smell of incense powder, and his whole body exuded a unique aura of identity.

When the visitor came forward, Shi Shiran knelt down and saluted, "I am Pu's, and I am the old bustard of Chunmanlou, I greet you."

He Mengyou froze, staring at the bustard.He Zhi, on the other hand, looked desperate.

Wei Pingxiao frowned, looked at Zhufeng, and found the old bustard of Qing|lou to testify.But because of the latter's status, it's not easy for him to get angry because of this.

Zhuifeng seemed to see that his complexion was not good, and said: "My lord, only this old bustard can testify to the identity of that young woman."

Wei Pingxiao thought for a while, and immediately understood, so he asked the old bustard: "Do you know anyone in this hall?"

In fact, Pu Shi is very inexplicable, he doesn't know why he, a brothel bustard, was passed on to the court, and also wonders why the court seems to have rained.

But she also took a few glances at the faces of everyone in the hall, and finally saw He Mengyou who was shackled, and was a little surprised, "Hey, isn't this the young master of the He family?"

Wei Pingxiao asked again: "How did you meet this person?"

Seeing that posture, the old bustard knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly said honestly: "Young Master He has always been a frequent visitor of Chunmanlou, and at the end of last year, he even took away the oiran of Chunmanlou, and now he is doing it for him. Where is my aunt?"

He Mengyou clenched his cheeks tightly, but with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, he could only hum, and his shoulders were held down by two yamen servants, making him unable to move.

Wei Ping said filially, "Sure enough", and then asked: "What does the oiran look like? How is her body and appearance? How did she leave Chunmanlou?"

The old bustard faintly felt that something was wrong, and said worriedly: "Is something wrong with Miao'er?"

"You just answer my question." Wei Pingxiao looked serious.

The old bustard hastily answered in panic, and replied: "Miaoer is the oiran of Chunmanlou, her appearance is naturally beautiful, she is six feet two inches tall, with a graceful figure, her voice is like an oriole, and she sings the most beautiful songs."

"That's right, that's right, the folk woman has heard it occasionally, and there is indeed a little song singing in that house, which is very pleasant." Li Sheng's wife hurriedly answered, "And the young woman that the folk woman saw was also more than six feet tall. , it must be her."

The old bustard glanced at Li Sheng's wife, feeling more and more uneasy, and said: "Miaoer suddenly came to find my concubine to redeem herself at the end of last year, saying that she was going to the He family to be her aunt.

She had been on good terms with the young master of the He family before, so the concubine agreed.The redemption money is 100 taels, all of which are jewelry she saved on weekdays. "

He Mengyou shook his head anxiously, wanting to defend himself, but his mouth was stuffed with a cloth, so he couldn't say a word.

Wei Pingxiao didn't care about him, at this moment, Wei Pingxiao had almost concluded that the one who died was the conscientious prostitute Miaoer, and coincidentally, it was not He Mengyou who redeemed her life, but herself.

In other words, this Miaoer is not a servant or servant of the He family.He Mengyou did kill someone.

Right now, just one more thing to confirm is that
Suddenly, the gate of the courtroom was blown open by a gust of wind, and then "floated" into a large burlap bag.As soon as the bag entered the hall, a soaring rancid stench engulfed everyone like a group of ugly poisonous snakes.
