Dayong Nu sentenced to death

He Gongze: "What's the matter?"

"Mei Mei's murder."

As soon as Su Rao finished speaking, He Gongze sneered and said, "What does her murder have to do with me? Girl, you just said that Fu Rong was locked up in the firewood room on the night of the murder. Wouldn't it be funny for her to accuse me of murder?"

"I also wonder why she doesn't mention it to others, but insists on biting you."

Su Rao asked him.

He Gongze relaxed and sat on the ground, tugged at the iron chain casually, and said with a sneer: "That woman is an incomprehensible person, she wants me to redeem her back to the house and give her a title, how is this possible?"

The He family is a well-known wealthy family in Yunzhou. He Gongze is a third-rank official and has a prosperous official career. How could he accept a prostitute, insult the family, and ruin his future?
"So you sent her to the dark kiln?"

Su Rao asked along the way.

He Gongze glanced at her sideways, "I just sent a message to the owner of the museum, as for how to deal with it, it's their own business."

"It's clear that you evaded it."

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Rao said: "Don't you know why this prostitution house was opened by Wen?"

He Gongze seemed to be shocked, with various complex emotions intertwined on his face, and he said after a long while: "This is impossible, although my second brother and I have separated from each other a few years ago, and we have separate families, but based on my understanding of him , he would never have the guts to do such a thing."

"is it?"

Su Rao smiled lightly, looked sideways at Cao De'an and said, "Master Cao, I remember you prepared a copy of the merchant's statement?"

Cao De'an nodded hurriedly: "Yes, girl, wait a moment, I'll let someone pick it up."

The prison was not far from the government office, and the jailer quickly came back with the confession and handed it over to Cao De'an, who in turn passed it on to Su Rao.

He Gongze's gaze followed their movements.

"He Ciwen is really cautious in his actions. The houses where the prostitution halls were opened were all bought by outsiders, and they were never involved with the He family. He wanted to protect himself, but he never thought that others would also keep a hand."

Su Rao unfolded the paper in front of him, "This is the document He Ciwen signed with him after he was drunk, on which the reason for buying the house and the actual person who took care of it were written in black and white, and your brother's private seal was stamped on the signature."

"He thinks he can sit back and relax by sending people out of Hanyang, but finding someone in the southern border is not easy or difficult."

Looking at the content on the paper and the final seal, He Gongze seemed to be in disbelief, stunned for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "The Jin family?"

"Yes."

Su Rao nodded.

As the number one wealthy businessman in the south, the Jin family has businesses all over the place, and coupled with the intelligence network carefully prepared by Young Master Jin, is it not easy to find someone?
"Speaking of it, I have to thank He Zhiwen for his cautious temperament. A few years ago, he didn't have such a ruthless heart. He just sent the person away, but he was afraid of making mistakes, so he kept covering this person in the He family's vision."

"If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have gotten the confession so quickly."

"How dare he..."

He Gongze was heartbroken, shook his head and sighed bitterly: "The He family is rich enough, why bother to get involved in these businesses! Earlier people from Hanyang only said that my second brother was killed, but did not say why, so, then, they killed my second brother Is it because of the prostitution hall?"...

"The imperial envoy also ordered me to be arrested and imprisoned for this?"

Su Rao and Cao De'an looked at him with a look of complete ignorance. The two exchanged glances. Cao De'an said, "The person who assassinated He Ciwen was named Mei, and he was Mei Mei's father, but he ordered you to be arrested for Mei Mei's sake." pieces of the case."

"No wonder……"

He Gongze murmured in despair.

"Have you been to Huanhua County?"

Su Rao put away the confession and spoke suddenly.

He Gongze said: "I have been there, what's the matter?"

"More than ten years ago, Liu Zhang, the county magistrate of Huanhua County, sent you a girl named Baitao. She was originally a girl from a good family. She was coerced into being a taboo for entertaining officials, and you participated in it. "

As soon as she finished speaking, He Gongze frowned, "To be honest, I can't remember clearly after many years, but girl, if you say that there is such a thing, then let it be, after all, it is not uncommon to entertain beauties."

"But just one thing, I really don't know about forcing a woman into prostitution, so this crime can't be forced on me, right?"

Cao De'an heard the words, frowning.

Sure enough, as expected, He Gongze knew the seriousness, and he pleaded guilty to insignificant crimes. In Baitao's case, if he killed him without knowing it, it could be regarded as a bad debt at best.

He even separated from He Zhiwen early in the morning, and set up their own houses, and there is no evidence of his involvement in the affairs of the prostitution hall.

He admitted whoring, but not murder.

In this way, it is indeed as he said, at most he will be fined and demoted...

"girl……"

Cao De'an called out to Su Rao, Su Rao recovered from her contemplation, looked at He Gongze who was calm and composed, "Who is helping you outside?"

He Gongze closed his eyes and remained silent.

It was eerily quiet in the prison.

For a moment.

"Master Cao, I leave this place to you."

Su Rao put down a few words, turned around and walked out. Her mind was in a mess now, and she needed to sort it out. The clearer the investigation of some places, the more confused the case would be.

Fu Rong, Chu Mo, He Gongze...

Each of them hides a secret.

However, this case is too old and complicated, and it is difficult to check the authenticity of many things.

Cao De'an watched her leave, and his eyes slowly fell on He Gongze, "Master He, if you don't want to say something, you will always suffer later."

He Gongze opened his eyes and glanced at him, "It's fine if you don't regret it."

"Will not."

Cao De'an's usually kind eyes suddenly cast a chill, "Come here, tie him to the shelf..."

At this time, Su Rao had already walked out of the prison.

The sun shone on her body to dispel the musty smell, Zhu Yan jumped off the stone lion beside her and walked quickly to her side.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he didn't say much.

The two quietly walked down the stone steps in front of the prison, and went back to the mansion in silence. As soon as they entered the mansion, Little Tail appeared again, holding a bunch of scattered iron objects in their hands.

When Zhu Yan saw those, he said helplessly, "Little devil, why did you dismantle them again?"

"Who did you pick off this time? It seems to be an improved version of the crossbow..."

He talks to children.

Su Rao didn't stop, she walked straight past the two of them, Little Tail wanted to follow without saying a word, Zhu Yan hurriedly stopped him with his arms crossed, and seriously advised: "The girl is in a bad mood now, so don't bother her gone."

The child ignored him, bent down and slipped under his arm, and was about to chase after him.

Zhu Yan listened to Ying Ci talking about his weirdness, so he didn't dare to stop him forcefully, for fear of provoking him to run away, when he was thinking about how to get him away, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the broken iron objects on the ground...

Got it!

Zhu Yan stopped in front of the child in a flash, "Come on, brother will take you to play something fun, even more fun than arrows and crossbows..."

The child looked at the direction where Su Rao disappeared, looked away, followed Zhu Yan obediently and left, Su Rao went back to the small courtyard where she was placed, asked someone to boil some hot water, and soaked herself in the tub...

She has to think hard about how to deal with this case!
