Concubine

Chapter 112
Wang Fushun lay sideways on the ground, moaning in pain, and said: "I went out to do business two years ago, and I just returned to Ningguo Mansion two days ago, staying at my brother Wang Tongzhi's house. There was a quarrel over a small matter. He wanted to kill me with a knife. In a fit of anger, I grabbed him and stabbed him a few times. Then I ran back and was about to run away with some money. You caught me. I didn’t mean to kill him. He was the one who wanted to kill me first."

Yang Qiuchi sneered and stared at Wang Fushun: "Do you think we really don't know what you have done? Not only did you kill your brother, you also killed Jin Keying, a red-brand dancer from Zuiyinglou! Suffer!" Niu Baihu was on the side, threatening to shake his thick arms, which made Wang Fushun tremble.

Tongpan and the others were stunned when they heard this, and Tongpan asked: "Dare to ask... Is Jin Keying from Zuiyinglou really dead? ... I haven't heard from her for almost a year or two. Said she went back to her hometown to visit relatives."

The governor next to him said: "I have suspected something wrong for a long time. At that time, Miss Ying was so popular, what kind of relatives are you saving? Is the old lady a good person? She will let Miss Keying confess her relatives for a year or two? Then she The bustard is dead!"

"That's right!" The pusher in charge of recording also interjected, "The old bustard told me that too, and I have some doubts." Looking at Yang Qiuchi, he asked, "Could it be that Miss Keying is really dead?"

Dare to feel that Jin Keying is really the red card singer of Ningguo Mansion, even the officials with not small official positions in the magistrate's yamen are familiar with her.

Yang Qiuchi saw that these were all high-ranking officials in the magistrate's yamen, and told them that there was nothing wrong with them, and that the case of Wang Fushun's murder of his brother had to be handed over to them.Then nodded: "Yes, after Miss Jin Keying was killed, her bones were buried in a vegetable field in Guangde County." Yang Qiuchi pointed to Song Zhi County, "This is Mr. Song of Song Zhi County, Guangde County. , personally responsible for solving the case.”

The judge looked Song Zhixian up and down.Shaking his head: "You may be mistaken, I know Song Zhixian..."

Song Zhixian slowly tore off the mask covering his face, revealing his true colors.He saluted the general judge and said, "You can refer to the general judge for the humble position." The general judge is a sixth-rank official.Therefore, refer to the etiquette of officials below Songzhi County.

The judge was taken aback.He returned the courtesy and said, "Sure enough, it's Mr. Song, magistrate of Song County. Why are you dressed like this?" Turning around and looking at Yang Qiuchi, "I don't know this is..."

County Magistrate Song explained: "Because of Jin Keying being murdered in Guangde County, the humble officials and others came here to investigate clues. In order to avoid attracting the murderer's attention, they dressed like this. No I thought I happened to meet Wang Tongzhi and was murdered." Introducing Yang Qiuchi and said, "This is me, Guangde County Prison Supervisor Yang Qiuchi and Yang Guanjian."

Yang Qiuchi cupped his hands and saluted.Hearing what Song Zhixian said, Tong Pan and the others suddenly realized.Quickly return the gift.

The news that a small cell leader in Guangde County broke a major case has long been spread throughout Ningguo Mansion, and everyone has heard about it. Unexpectedly, this young man in front of him is that magical cell leader. Mr. Huma Duma has an unusual relationship. No wonder Niu Baihu respects him so much. It seems that Mr. Maduma is the reason.They didn't know that Yang Qiuchi was now the special envoy of Jin Yiwei.

Yang Qiuchi continued to ask Wang Fushun: "You killed Jin Keying, right? To tell you the truth, the bustard in Zuiyinglou and others have already failed to accept you as a concubine and told us about killing Miss Jin Keying. You It's best to tell the truth, lest the flesh and blood suffer!"

Wang Fushun originally thought he could conceal the killing of Jin Keying, but now it seems that he has a clear grasp of his affairs.Whether it is said that others know it or not, it is better to be honest, so as not to suffer immediate losses, but also to gain a good attitude, maybe you will be dealt with lightly in the future.

Although the interrogation method of the investigative agency is simple, it can often achieve immediate results because it captures the criminal's psychology.Criminals' psychological defenses often collapse when they think that the other party has already understood everything.

This is what Wang Fushun thinks now. Since everyone knows about it, killing Wang Tongzhi is already a capital crime. It doesn't matter if he confesses to killing Jin Keying or not. Himself, and this flesh and blood pain is really unavoidable.

Wang Fushun had no choice but to say: "I got it. Two years ago, the villain coveted Miss Jin's beauty and wanted to take her as a concubine, but Miss Jin rejected her in public, so I beat her in a fit of anger. Later, she didn't even want to be with her When I met her, the bustard couldn't do anything about her. I was so angry that I asked one of my men to kill Miss Jin..."

"What's that guy's name? Where is he now?"

"My name is Wu Xiang, and his nickname is Mule. I don't know where he is now."

"You go ahead and talk."

Wang Fushun continued: "I gave the mule 70 taels of silver to kill Jin Keying, and ran to Yingtian Mansion to wait for news. After waiting for about a month, the mule came to tell me that he had killed Jin Keying. And the corpse has been destroyed. I was relieved and scared, so I told my brother Wang Tongzhi about it."

"He was very angry and scolded me, saying that he, as a fellow acquaintance, would never hide it for me, and wanted to arrest me. I knelt down and begged hard. Agree to hide it for me. After we discussed it, we felt that many people knew that I had a grudge against Miss Jin, and this matter would soon suspect me. My brother asked me to hide for a while, so I ran to the northeast."

"Some time ago, my brother wrote to say that no one has been investigating this matter. I was homesick, so I ventured back and stayed at my brother's house. I found out that Jin Keying's murder has not been brought to light. It seems that The mule hid the corpse very well, so I feel at ease."

"This morning, my brother Wang Tongzhi suddenly sent someone to call me from home to the yamen, and told me that Jin Yiwei is investigating this matter. I panicked when I heard that Jin Yiwei intervened in this matter. There is no room for me in the world. "

"I wanted to run, but I was stopped by my brother. He said that the bustard at Zuiying Tower would probably confess this matter, and Jin Yiwei would find this place soon. Since Jin Yiwei intervened, I couldn't escape. So he decided to send I surrendered to Jin Yiwei. He said that only in this way can he keep his official position, and only his official position can be kept. Spending money outside for activities may save my life."

"Of course I didn't agree, so we quarreled. He wanted to go out and ask someone to arrest me. I was in a hurry. I picked up the paper knife on the desk and stabbed him. After I was done, I found blood on my feet. I wiped it with my own sweat towel and threw it away. Then I sneaked back to get something and prepared to escape, but I didn’t expect you to catch me so soon.”

Yang Qiuchi secretly rejoiced.Thanks to the little black dog following him, otherwise, it would be hard to guess that it was Wang Tongzhi's younger brother who killed him.

Judging from Wang Fushun's account, this was a sudden crime.In order to keep his official position, Wang Tongzhi can spend money on activities in the future and save his younger brother's life.Only then did he decide to exterminate relatives righteously, and immediately arrested people.In desperation, Wang Fushun committed the crime suddenly.Most of this sudden crime is irrational and incomprehensible under normal circumstances.

From this point of view, Wang Tongzhi can be regarded as a relatively upright person no matter what the purpose is for killing relatives righteously.Yang Qiuchi regretted being too harsh on him earlier.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Where is that guy named Mule in your place now? Or does anyone know where he is?"

"I really don't know. After he came to Yingtian Mansion and told me that he had killed Jin Keying, I absconded that day, and I haven't heard from him since. I asked my brother when I came back this time, and he also have no idea."

"And where did he live when he was a boy?"

"Live at his sister-in-law's house." Wang Fushun said the address of Wu Xiang's sister-in-law's house.

It has been more than two years, and I don't know if Wu Xiang is still at his sister-in-law's house, maybe he has fled to other places like Wang Fushun.No matter what, I have to go and see, even if Wu Xiang escaped, as long as he can find his sister-in-law, he can get some useful information, which can narrow the scope and facilitate the arrest of Wang Fushun.

The Tuiguan made a record, signed and pledged Wang Fushun, and then put him in the prison of the magistrate.

Yang Qiuchi and others, led by Niu Baihu, rushed to Wu Xiang's sister-in-law's house.

This is an exclusive small courtyard, and the door is bolted from the inside.Jin Yiwei had rich experience in arresting criminals, so he quietly surrounded the entire courtyard without instructions.Waiting for the arrest order.

With a wave of Niu Baihu's hand, the two burly guards in Jinyi slammed into the door again. This time, it only took two strokes before the door was knocked open with a bang.The brocade guards rushed into the room with Xiuchun knives in hand.

"Damn~!" A woman screamed in the room, and another man's voice: "What are you doing?"

After Jin Yiwei rushed in, Song Yun'er grabbed Song Qing and rushed into the room ahead of Yang Qiuchi and the others, wanting to watch the excitement, but as soon as the two of them rushed in, they yelled and fled immediately, and they didn't stop until they reached the gate of the courtyard , flushed.

Yang Qiuchi asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Song Yun'er blushed and spat, and said, "Go in and see for yourself."

Yang Qiuchi and the others went into the back room suspiciously, only then did they know the reason why the little girls ran out.The bright red quilt on the kang was thrown aside, and a naked man and woman were pinned down on the kang by the guards in brocade clothes, and were being tied up with hemp rope.

The man was in his twenties, muscular and relatively strong, his face turned pale with fright, and he kept asking what was going on.

The woman looked slightly older, in her early 30s, with white skin, and her body twisted.His face was pale with fright, and he kept leaning towards the man.

The man comforted him by saying that there was nothing to be afraid of, but how could he protect the woman, he was tied up.

After Yang Qiuchi saw it, he immediately understood what happened.

It turned out that the family was doing business on the bed, and the royal guards broke in suddenly.The two of them were tied up before they even had time to cover up their shame with a piece of clothing.

Yang Qiuchi scolded with a smile: "What's the trick, let people wear clothes and then tie them up."

The Imperial Guards were not so kind. When they arrested criminals, what they considered more was not respect for the privacy of criminals, but to subdue the suspects quickly, so as to ensure their own safety to the maximum extent.

When Yang Qiuchi said this, the Jinyi guards had already tied up the two of them, and it would be troublesome to untie them, but the little supervisor had to listen to what he said, but they also had a way to get the robes of the two people next to them, Put it on the two people, fasten it with a belt, cover the body, and then pull the two off the bed, kicking and kneeling on the ground.

Of course these two people knew that it was Jin Yiwei who arrested them. Who in the Ming Dynasty didn't know about Jin Yiwei?The two looked at Yang Qiuchi and the others in panic.

"Are you Wu Xiang, nicknamed Mule?" Yang Qiuchi asked the man.

The man nodded: "Who are you? Why are you arresting us?"

Having caught the right person, Yang Qiuchi breathed a sigh of relief and asked the woman, "Who are you? Wu Xiang's wife?"

The woman was so frightened that she trembled all over, she couldn't speak.

A Jin Yiwei next to her kicked her: "Little girl, why don't you hurry up and answer the adults' questions!"

The woman let out a scream and was kicked and rolled on the ground. While moaning, she stammered, "Ms. Wu Mao, the civilian woman, is... is... Wu Xiang's... sister-in-law..."

ah?Yang Qiuchi, Song Zhixian and others were all stunned—the uncle and sister-in-law had an affair?He was also caught by Jin Yiwei on the spot!
Yang Qiuchi took a step forward, kicked Wu Xiang, and scolded: "Fuck you, even your sister-in-law fucked, are you still a human?" Before Wu Xiang could speak, the Mao family rushed to say: "My man ..., my man... is dead. Besides, my life is not settled, and my uncle helped me. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know how to live."

oh?Now Yang Qiuchi understood, it turned out that Wu Xiang had an affair with his sister-in-law after Wu Xiang's elder brother died, what a shame!
Even if they really love each other, there is no result in ancient times.

Yang Qiuchi was very emotional. As a legal person, he knew that many times the law and morality actually conflicted, and it was also a kind of helplessness.

Some things are not prohibited by law, but ethics and morals will be severely criticized.For example, adultery is not illegal in modern society, but it is absolutely not allowed ethically.

Especially the affair between relatives.For example, between uncles and sisters, even in today's society, although the law does not prohibit it, most ordinary people cannot accept it, let alone in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid they will be invaded by pig cages.

In fact, the custom of remarrying a sister-in-law to a younger brother after the death of the older brother exists in the nomadic peoples in northern China, and has even formed a tradition.In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Han Gaozu and the Xiongnu Chanyu were called brothers.After the death of Gaozu, Mao Dun Shanyu wrote to Empress Lu in accordance with their custom, asking Empress Lu to marry her.There are many examples of younger uncles accepting sister-in-laws in the "Dayuan Tongzhi Tiaoge·Household Order" of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, in the traditional customs of Han culture, the marriage of uncles and sisters-in-law is a general rule of law and cannot be tolerated.Influenced by Han culture, this kind of behavior was gradually banned in the late Yuan Dynasty.After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the law of the Ming Dynasty banned the younger uncle from accepting his sister-in-law.

The "Law of the Ming Dynasty" stipulates: "If a brother dies and takes in his wife, and a brother dies and takes in a sister-in-law, each will be hanged."

The county magistrate of Song cursed: "What kind of decency is it! It's just, it's just hurtful, it's immoral, it's immoral!"
