Touring the Ming Dynasty

"Don't be presumptuous!" Guo Wei yelled, and said: "My lord has judged a case correctly. He said that Dou died at home. Of course, he has a reason. The more you mess around, the more you have ghosts in your heart!"

Dou Yuan was still clamoring for evidence, Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "Evidence? There are evidences everywhere in this house, scratch marks on the ground outside, new pits on the wall, firewood piled up in the corner, square wooden table The newly patched traces all told me that there was a fierce fight outside last night. The scratches on the ground were scratched by Dou's nails before he died, and the dents on the wall must have been smashed by the broken bench. Dou’s struggle before his death was terrible? He almost smashed everything in the living room, but I’m surprised that the punch in your face should have been punched before. Dou’s desperate struggle seems to be useless. I really have some guesses It’s unclear what weapon the murderer used.”

Every time he pointed out a piece of evidence, Dou Yuan and Dou's complexions turned paler, and their bodies trembled more violently. Duan Fei didn't finish speaking, only to hear Yang Sen shout excitedly from behind the house: "I found the murder weapon." Yes! The murder weapon is a pig's sling!"

Yang Sen walked in with a bamboo pole about two meters long and thick as an arm. The center of the bamboo pole was opened, and a hemp rope as thick as a little finger passed through it. A noose was tied in front of the bamboo pole. The lasso is pulled hard behind, and the prey is supported by the bamboo pole, so that the prey cannot hurt the hunter. This is a tool often used by mountain people to hunt larger prey.

"It turned out to be a set of rods... now I understand." Duan Fei smiled suddenly, but Dou Yuan was shocked. He heard Duan Fei's laughter and said sadly: "Yes, I killed that beast. I sneaked back last night and became more violent when I went out for half a year. When I said a few words to him, he punched me down. His wife Cuihua kindly made meals for him. He hated this and said that he found it outside Another woman said that the woman ran away, and then pressed Cuihua to the ground and beat her. What a beast... I couldn't bear it anymore. I went to the backyard and took a pig's pole to look at his neck. …Then tighten the rope and strangle him to death. I brought this demon to the human world, so let me send him to hell. I killed the man. Take me away. This has nothing to do with Cuihua , Cuihua, you have to live a good life, find a good man, and remarry..."

Elder Dou Yuan was crying, and Cuihua was crying too, she screamed: "It wasn't my father-in-law who killed me, I killed the man, you take me away, I recognize the skinned Lingchi, I am the only one Kill me, catch me quickly, don't hurt Eunuch... Eunuch, I'm sorry, Cuihua can no longer serve you..."

Duan Fei hadn't ordered anyone to be arrested, and the police officers who had tried flattering but caught their feet didn't dare to act easily. The scene before them was really touching. The village head, Dou Ming, cried tearfully, "My lord, Dou is a Beast, if he was my son, I would have killed him a long time ago, my lord, my lord, please be kind, Dou Yuan and Cuihua are good people, you can't arrest them, if you want to arrest them, arrest me, as the village head, I didn't manage that well Beast, let him commit countless crimes in the past ten years, you arrest me and go away."

Seeing this scene, taking down the two fields Fei was really unable to speak out, and was hesitating, when the surrounding villagers heard that Dou Yuan and Cuihua were going to be arrested, they immediately made a fuss, and someone shouted loudly: "Don't catch them!" Man, that bastard Dou deserved to die. He even beat his father to death. We sued the government several times, but the government didn't care. How can the government take care of housework now? Dou died well, he deserved it, If the father kills Nizi, why should the government arrest him!"

Seeing the turmoil of the crowd, the situation is gradually becoming difficult to control, but Duan Fei has not yet come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, Su Rong is also worried for him, worried for Dou Yuan and Cuihua's replacement, her eyes turned around the room, the two Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised her voice and said, "Everyone be quiet, my adults didn't say to arrest Daddy Dou and Aunt Cuihua, everyone be quiet and listen to me."

Her voice was so clear and bright that it overwhelmed all other voices and reached everyone's ears, and it seemed to have a calming power. The surrounding noises suddenly quieted down. Su Rong sent Duan Fei He rolled his eyes and said, "My lord, although it has been confirmed that the murderers are Daddy Dou and Cuihua, instead of arresting them, we have to report them to the imperial court and notify the local authorities to give them great rewards. They are trying to eradicate treason for the country, my lord." Could it be that you forgot the suppression order issued by Lord Wang?"

"Suppression order?" Duan Fei's mind turned quickly, and he said immediately: "Do you suspect that this Dou is the remnant party of the Ning thief?"

"Didn't your lord notice the pair of boots drying on the window? Those boots should have been worn by Dou. They were military supplies customized by Thief Ning for the three guards. The style cannot be bought in the market. The boots are still very good. The new one must have been taken off by Aunt Cuihua from Dou's foot after his death, and was intended to be used by Father Dou for the winter."

Everyone turned around and looked towards the window. Duan Fei saw the window that was originally blocked by everyone's bodies, and also saw the pair of boots. Let me examine the evidence myself."

Everyone got out of the way, Duan Fei walked over, took a look at his boots, and said loudly happily: "Dou is indeed the remnant of Ning Bandit, everyone, please look, the word Ning is embroidered on the inside of the left foot of the boot. With these boots as proof of Wei's standard military equipment, Dou Naining's remnants of the bandit can be confirmed without a doubt!"

Peng Xing and Su Chenkang took a look at the boots one after another, and they both said: "Not bad, not bad, there is indeed a word for Ning, this is undoubtedly the remnant party of the Ning thief!"

Su Rong recited loudly: "The Governor Wang promulgated the 'Ning Thief Remnant Party Clearance Order' after subduing the Ning Bandits. Anyone who has been rebellious or attached to the rebels can be given a lighter punishment as appropriate. Those who are stubborn and try to hide Those who get away with the crime will be punished with a higher level of crime. Those who help escape and hide will be punished as thieves. Those who report or capture the rest of the Ning thieves and escort them to the Yamen will be rewarded. Those who kill the thieves will be punished lightly or not guilty depending on the circumstances! Daddy Dou Killing Nizi is the law of heaven, Dou is the remnant of the thief, Father Dou is not only innocent but has merit, and sister-in-law Cuihua helped kill the thief, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a chaste and strong woman, what crime is there?"

Duan Feijian praised: "Well said, Mr. Wang did issue this notice. Since this Dou is the remnant of Ning's bandit, Dou Yuan and Mrs. Dou are not only innocent but have merit. Master Peng and Master Su, what do you think? ?”

The bridal sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the evidence was conclusive, and Wang Shouren had indeed issued such an announcement, Peng Xing and Su Chenkang naturally agreed, Duan Fei stepped forward to help Dou Yuan up, and said, "Daddy Dou, did you hear that? You not only Innocence, but meritorious service in eradicating rebellion, the imperial court has its own rewards."

Father Dou was so excited that he couldn't make a sound, Duan Fei gave Su Rong a look, Su Rong held Cuihua's hand, and said something in her ear, Cuihua became excited and shook her head again and again, Su Rong patiently persuaded her, and finally convinced her , Received ten taels of silver.

The case was solved, and there was no need for Duan Fei and others to stay in Shuxi Village. Under the leadership of the old village chief, the villagers of Shuxi Village lined the road to see them off, especially Dou Yuan and Cuihua, who knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried. Calling Master Qingtian all over his face.
