Chapter 40 Headless Male Corpse
From Dou Yue's eyes, Ye Chengwei and Hua Rujin already understood everything:
It seems that this villainous litigator is making suggestions for Dou Yue.

But Ye Chengwei was not in a hurry to interrogate Gu Langxi, and first told Lu Xiuyuan who came over with a smile on his face: "You take people into the tunnel, and carry out all the things in the tunnel, remember, carry them out intact."

typical?

All the things?
Have to carry it out intact?

Lu Xiuyuan secretly glanced at Ye Chengwei in confusion.

Thinking that Shangguan came out with Dou Yue, I'm afraid that there must be many shady things hidden in the Dou family.

The magistrate is so cautious, maybe.
Still rare treasures.

Thinking of this, he happily waved to the guards, and led dozens of people hurriedly walked from the entrance of the cemetery to the tunnel.

It's just that the manpower of the county government is not enough, the old beggar hurriedly looked at the servants of Dou's family and the Taoist priests who were watching coldly, and urged impatiently: "Go, go, you also go to help, just look at your family Good deeds done by great people.”

Seeing that everyone entered the tunnel, and thinking of Dou Yuanqian who was still lying on the ground, Hua Rujin immediately approached Shu Jinxuan, and whispered: "Cousin, the body of the third son of the Dou family is also inside, please help your little servant to replace it." I'll take a trip and pick people up for burial."

Shu Jinxuan didn't know what the few people experienced down there, but thinking that Dou Yuanqian showed mercy to his cousin that night, there must be something hidden in it, so he nodded quickly and said, "I met him once before he was alive, and I know him personally. You go this way."

After the words fell, he led the two servants and followed in.

Waiting for the hill to clear up, Ye Chengwei slowly picked up a shovel on the ground, walked towards Tang Haoran, the magistrate who was at a loss, with a cold face, pointed to the grave next to him meaningfully, and said: "Then please ask the magistrate Master Cheng, please dig up this mysterious tomb for us."

"Official"

Tang Haoran was very upset, he didn't know how he brought Dou Yuanwai and Hua's girl out of the grave, and he didn't know what happened.

But looking at Zhixian's uncertain face, and thinking about protecting the Dou family these past few days, he felt guilty for a while, so he had to take the shovel and start digging in fear.

Seeing this, Master Dou Yiheng also took a shovel to help dig the grave.

Seeing this situation, the old housekeeper walked up to Dou Yue tremblingly, and called out fearfully: "Master!"

Dou Yue couldn't bear to close his eyes: "Go and help."

With the joint efforts of the three, the tomb was quickly dug up, and the first thing that caught the eye was a well-preserved black coffin.

Just when Ye Chengwei was about to let a few people open the coffin, Gu Langxi knelt down in fear, and said in an almost begging tone: "Master Zhixian, the Caomin didn't kill anyone, the Caomin just helped the member Dou to go out and come up with ideas."

"kill?"

Hua Rujin was the first to show a look of astonishment: "Mr. Gu, no one has accused you of murder. You have come here before you have been convicted. Could it be that you have done other things besides the suicide note of the third son?" ?”

"Yes, yes, the third son's suicide note was indeed forged."

Looking at Ye Chengwei's sharp and terrifying black eyes, Gu Langxi was so frightened that he trembled all over:

"Back when Dou Yuanwai fell in love with Miss Hua, I thought he really wanted this marriage. I also learned that your old lady likes money, so I mentioned this marriage to your second aunt, Mrs. Meng. Unexpectedly, when she heard that there were 200 taels of silver, she immediately agreed to persuade your grandmother to resign from the marriage with the Ye family and transfer you to the Dou family.
Afterwards, the third son fell ill and died. Dou Yuanwai said that he wanted you to be buried for the third son, and gave me 3000 taels of silver as an embellishment fee. I had to forge a suicide note in the third son's handwriting. "

Ye Chengwei listened silently at the side, and only then realized that Miss Hua's withdrawal from her back then was due to her grandmother and second wife's scheme.

Thinking of this, he glanced lightly at the dazzling dazzle, and calmly ordered Tang Haoran: "Open the coffin."

"slow."

Gu Langxi hurriedly stopped him again: "I'm afraid that the bones buried in this coffin are not the remains of the third son of the Dou family."

Both Ye Chengwei and Hua Rujin stared at him impatiently:
Of course I knew it wasn't Dou Yuanqian.

Hua Rujin had lost her patience, she snatched the shovel from the old housekeeper's hand and pried open the coffin, and the scene that came into view immediately stunned everyone.

"How could there be a headless corpse inside?"

The county magistrate Tang Haoran stared at the rotten remains in the coffin, hurriedly looked at Dou Yue, and asked blankly: "Waiting Dou, what's going on, where is the third son's head?"

Dou Yue half-closed his eyes and sighed softly: "This remains is not a dog, but Zhang Yuan, a villager in Maoyuan Village. The old man asked Mr. Gu to find it for me to bury the dog."

"I didn't kill people."

Gu Langxi quickly denied: "It was Han Chun from Maoyuan Village who killed Zhang Yuan."

The more Hua Rujin listened, the more confused she became. Such a simple marriage involved so many things. First, she asked immortals to use women's bones and blood to make alchemy. Now, there is a new murder case, which is simply to support people's heads. broken.

She pinched her small chin with her jade fingers, and she seemed to be a leisurely melon-eating crowd, and asked curiously: "Then please tell me, Mr. Gu, why did Han Chun kill Zhang Yuan, and why did you take Zhang Yuan's body?" Hid in the tomb of the third son of the Dou family?"

Gu Langxi knew that there was no possibility of sophistry, so he quickly answered truthfully:
"When the third son Dou was buried, Dou Yuanwai temporarily changed his mind, saying that Miss Hua's life experience was also miserable, and he couldn't bear to see you die, so he gave him a sum of money and asked me to find a corpse for him to replace Miss Hua as the third son. The son was buried with him, and it happened that someone died in Maoyuan Village, Han Chun found me, and invited him to drink and give money to let me think of ideas for him, so I took Zhang Yuan's body to Dou's house smoothly."

"In this way, Mr. Gu has easily earned the money of the two families, and sold a favor of the two families. He is indeed the most money-earning litigator in Jiangling City."

For a moment, Hua Rujin admired his brilliant brain, but it was useless on the right path.

Perhaps this is the normal state of litigators in this era, otherwise they would not be despised as litigators.

Thinking of this, Hua Rujin sighed slowly: "It's just that Mr. Gu is so smart that he can't see through the evil intentions hidden under the hypocritical face of Dou Yuanwai. A 13-year-old little girl who is as beautiful as a flower is forced to be held in the house and made things difficult for her."

All he was waiting for was for the original owner to reach Jiji's age so that he could complete his plot logically.

And hearing the words "like a flower like a jade", Ye Chengwei couldn't help covering his mouth and coughing softly, and looked at her silently: there are still such self-proclaimed ones.

Seeing Ye Chengwei's weird expression, Hua Rujin realized something was wrong: I am not that poor little flowery girl now.

It's embarrassing.

She quickly changed the subject calmly: "Since Han Chun killed Zhang Yuan, why did he hide Zhang Yuan's head? What's the mystery?"

"I don't know, either."

Gu Langxi immediately replied: "I also asked him, he only said that Zhang Yuan was not killed by him, and I was in a hurry to find the body for Dou Yuanwai, so I didn't ask much."

"Which murderer would take the initiative to confess that he killed someone?"

Tang Haoran muttered to the side, looking at the headless male corpse lying in the coffin, and asked eagerly: "Where did the body of the third son of the Dou family go?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound coming from the tomb not far away.

Not long after, the black coffins that had been hidden underground for many years were slowly moved to the ground, and they were able to see the light of day again.

This scene shocked everyone.

The old beggar sighed, Hua Rujin also looked sad.

Ye Chengwei was furious, and stared fiercely at Gu Langxi and Dou Yue, and sternly ordered to the guards and arresters who had just landed on the ground before they had time to catch their breath: "Take down master and servant Dou Yue, Gu Langxi and this group of evil spirits!" Taoist, capture Han Chun in Maoyuan Village."

"Master Zhixian, the grassroots are innocent, the grassroots are innocent."

Gu Langxi suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly looked at Tang Haoran: "Lord County Chancellor, I want to see Master Liu."

Tang Haoran just ignored it and buried his head.

The sun was gradually rising, and on the Chu River, Liu Cheng frowned and looked at the boundless river: "It's dawn."

"Yes."

"Is there any news from Jiangling City?"

"Have."

Then a pair of rough hands pushed directly behind him.

There was a "plop" sound of falling into the water, and Liu Cheng's figure struggled desperately in the water, and disappeared on the rough river in a short time.

"Respectfully send off Mr. Liu, and have a good journey."
