Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 189

Qiu Hong's heart skipped a beat.

"What letter?"

Gu Qingjue took out the letter, and Qiu Hong felt it was very familiar. Looking at it again, it was the letter that Qiu Birong left behind when he left home.

But only he knew what was going on with this letter.

But how did he know?
"This letter was left by the little girl before. Is there any problem?"

Gu Qingjue chuckled a few times: "These letters were handed over to me by Mrs. Bi, and they were written by Miss Qiu before she was alive. I compared the handwriting carefully, and it is slightly different from the letter you gave me, Mr. There are different."

"It's all written by a little girl before, so there's no difference, don't lie to me here."

"Is it?"

Gu Qingjue said to Zhao Jin: "My lord, there is a Confucian named Shi Tiesheng in Mingguang County who is best at identifying handwriting. You can invite this person to identify whether the handwriting of these letters is from one person."

Zhao Jin glanced at the sky.

Immediately, a guard in black robe flashed in the courtroom, Zhao Jin got up, took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to the guard.

Holding the jade pendant, the guard disappeared in front of everyone in another flash.

"I have asked my guards to invite Mr. Shi, everyone, please wait for a while."

Some scholars outside the court naturally knew Mr. Shi's name. Mr. Shi was over seventy years old and a famous Confucian in the Song Dynasty. It is said that he taught several prime ministers.

Three years ago, due to physical reasons, he was dismissed and returned home.

Such a great Confucian really had to be invited by Zhao Jin's guards with a token, otherwise he would not be able to invite him.

When Qiu Hong heard Shi Tiesheng's name, his body softened.

But he still said bluntly: "If you hold this letter alone, anyone with eyes can see that you are implying that there is something wrong with this letter."

"Since Mr. Qiu has doubts, Ziyuan will put this letter together with the letter Mrs. Bi handed over to me. Does Mr. Qiu feel anything inappropriate?"

Qiu Hong sneered: "Even if it is proved that the letter was not written by the little girl, can it be proved that it was written by me?"

The two had known each other for many years, but this was the first time Zeng Shengji saw Qiu Hong's face.

He was extremely disappointed!

"Qiu Hong has solid evidence now, what you did is just a last-ditch struggle."

"Brother Jing Yong, don't be fooled by this young man. We've known each other for so many years, and you've only known him for half a year. After all, I'm more worthy of your trust."

Bi Xinyu smiled sarcastically.

"Some people are very good at disguising, such as you. How did you swear to my parents that you would be good to me for the rest of your life? Now, you want to put me to death. Qiu Hong is nothing more than a tiger, a leopard, a wolf, you It’s just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.”

"Shut up, I don't have your share of words here."

"Qiu Hong, do you still think that you are the Zuo Jianyi doctor, playing the official role? Let me tell you, if I don't kill you today, my surname will not be Bi."

Do you think that what she gave Zeng Shengji was a simple distress letter?

After all, she is the first daughter of the Bi family, and her father will not be as cold-hearted and heartless as Qiu Hong. As long as the news spreads, his father will know that she has suffered such a great grievance here, and he will not be able to forgive him.

Zhao Jin's guards were highly skilled in martial arts, and within two quarters of an hour, they invited Shi Tiesheng, who lived in Zhuangzi outside the city, to the county government.

Mr. Shi's hair is all gray and wrinkled, but the character of a literati is vividly reflected in Mr. Shi.

As soon as Mr. Shi came, Zhao Jin got up from his seat, and together with Gu Qingjue and others, saluted Shi Tiesheng, which was an expression of respect for contemporary famous Confucians.

Shi Tie returned the gift, and then said: "Is it for the old man to verify the authenticity of the handwriting?"

"Yes, this letter involves a homicide case, please trouble the old man."

After finishing speaking, a yamen servant brought a tray with messed up letters on it, and Shi Tiesheng quickly found the letter that Qiu Birong ran away from home.

"Master Zhao, this letter is a forgery. The person who copied it also has certain skills. If you don't read it carefully, you can't tell it. However, this letter is obviously different from the other handwriting at the end of the handwriting. The end of this letter It's more crisp and neat, like a man's writing."

"Old man, read these manuscripts again!"

At some point, Zhao Jin had a pile of paper in his hand, Qiu Hong glanced at it, was it not the official document he usually approved.

Not only the official documents he approved, but also the manuscripts of the previous county magistrate.

The handwriting of several people.

No, this Shi Tiesheng, can you tell something from the words he deliberately imitated?
As soon as such thoughts flashed through his mind, Shi Tiesheng took out the one he wrote from among the several official documents.

"These two are from the same person."

Zhao Jin took the handwriting identified by Shi Tiesheng, and asked them to carefully read and sign the official document in front of the people outside.

"Oh my god, it's County Magistrate Qiu's handwriting."

"This conscience-stricken person even killed his own daughter, and he is not afraid of thunder."

"Bah, I thought he was a good official, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel."

Qiu Hongji cared about his reputation.

He has been working hard for so many years, just to let everyone praise him, not to allow anyone to say that he is not good, to say that he is not good, and to eliminate things that are not good for him in advance.

Otherwise, because Qiu Birong was pregnant out of wedlock and eloped with a scholar, in order to protect his official name, he would not have cruelly killed her.

Now, the way the common people looked at him and the sound of cursing made Qiu Hong dazed.

Knowing that the situation was over, Qiu Hong admitted that he sent Foxit to hunt down and kill Qu Zhisheng and Qiu Birong, and the yamen guards who escorted them back were also ordered to be silenced by Qiu Hong.

He also admitted to tampering with Bi Xinyu's medicinal materials.

The medicine dregs were identified by the doctor, and a few chronic medicines were added. If taken for a long time, it will damage the qi and blood, and eventually it will be unable to recover.

Fortunately, Bi Xinyu discovered it in time, took less, and could recover in the future.

Zhao Jin has a token from the official family, and can inspect on behalf of the emperor. Qiu Hong is just a county magistrate. Now that the matter has been found out, Qiu Hong was sentenced to death and beheaded at the Meridian Gate three days later.

And agreed to Bi Xinyu's request, divorce her husband.

A woman's husband, this can be regarded as shocking.

However, the people who knew the whole story understood it.

The people sighed, and soon the news that Qiu County Magistrate killed his daughter, murdered his wife, and was sentenced to death spread throughout Mingguang County.

Qiu Birong was pregnant with Qu Zhisheng's flesh and blood. Under Qu Zhisheng's strong request, before agreeing to Bi Xinyu's divorce, he agreed to his request and asked Qu Zhisheng to cremate Qiu Birong's body and bring the ashes back to the Qu family's ancestral grave in his hometown in Jing County for burial.

This can be regarded as fulfilling Qu Zhisheng's infatuation.

That night, Zeng Shengji and Gu Qingjue came to the county government prison together, and wanted to ask Qiu Hong if he knew what happened to the Zeng family a year ago.
