Concubine

Chapter 381
Wei Shi thought for a while before saying, "Afternoon..."

"You lied, Cuihuan was in Pengjiazhuang that afternoon and never left."

That afternoon, Song Yun'er was soaking mushrooms at Shui Wanqi's place, looking for information about Shui Wanqi hitting Peng Si's head with an inkstone. Cuihuan was Shui Wanqi's personal maid, and never left.Therefore, Yang Qiuchi concluded that the Wei family was lying.

Wei Shi said in a panic, "I misremembered, it was...it was night."

"What time is the night?"

"Probably... about one more day"

This time Song Yuner couldn't help but said: "Nonsense! At the first watch, Cuihuan was also in Pengjiazhuang, and she never left! I saw it with my own eyes." Song Yuner visited Shui Wanqi's bedroom that night and saw Shui Wanqi giving up On Cuihuan's face, there was a nine-yin white bone claw.

Wei Shi was even more flustered, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

Yang Qiuchi observed the words and expressions, and understood that there must be something hidden in it, and he had already guessed a general idea of ​​the hidden thing, but on the surface he was calm and not in a hurry to chase after him. He bypassed the topic and said, "You eavesdrop What's up?"

Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I heard they said that Cuihuan will bring Young Master Peng out the next day and kidnap him."

Yang Qiuchi said: "Why did they kidnap Young Master Peng? For ransom?"

"No, they...they want to..." Wei Shi said here, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Yang Qiuchi, and asked again: "My lord, this matter is really important. If I tell you, do you really care?" Can you spare my son's life?"

Yang Qiuchi has already thought about this problem.

Shui Guzi hit Peng Si with a stone. If the modern criminal law is used to determine the sentence, it is an intentional injury causing death, and there are multiple causes and one effect. He only bears most of the responsibility instead of all. There is also the statutory lenient and mitigated punishment for minors, so a few years in prison is not bad.

In ancient times, the crime of rape was punishable by hanging, but the punishment for rape in modern criminal law is much lighter than in ancient times.Under normal circumstances, only fixed-term imprisonment of more than three years and less than ten years is imposed. Only gang rape or rape that causes serious injury and death can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years, life imprisonment, or death.

Therefore, according to modern criminal law, Shui Guzi cannot be sentenced to death in terms of the crimes committed. In addition, he is a minor and cannot be sentenced to death according to law.Therefore, Yang Qiuchi, who was deeply educated in modern criminal law, thought in his heart that even if there was no such thing as Wei's meritorious service, he did not intend to sentence Shui Guzi to death.

However, Yang Qiuchi has discovered that the Wei family must have overheard some important secret, and he wants to use the fact that Wei's family is worried that Shui Guzi will be sentenced to death to force Wei to reveal this secret.

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "I have already guaranteed the ticket just now. As long as the clues you provide can find the young master of the Peng family, I will spare your son's life."

"Okay," Wei Shi made up his mind and said something in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yang Qiuchi was shocked, and he and Song Yuner glanced at each other, both of them were very shocked.

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Then do you know where old man Long and Cuihuan imprisoned the young master of the Peng family?"

"It's in the Lichun Garden!"

"In the Pear Spring Garden? Where is it?"

"I don't know the details. I only heard from the two of them that they hid in the Lichun Garden after they were kidnapped."

As soon as Yang Qiuchi turned his head, he already understood why he hid in Lichun Garden. The most dangerous place is always the safest. The green ring disappeared out of thin air. If she left Enyang Town, someone would definitely notice her, so She is likely to be hiding in Lichun Garden with Young Master Peng.Lichunyuan is very big, it is the largest brothel in Enyang Town, and Old Man Long is the gatekeeper inside, so it is easy to hide two people.

Of course, in order to prevent this Young Master Peng from shouting, they must have used medicines like Suma powder to fascinate him.

Now that you know the goal, it's easy to handle.Yang Qiuchi called Nan Gongxiong in, went to the back room to mutter for a while, and then Nan Gongxiong left in a hurry.

Yang Qiuchi went back to the outer room and sat down on the stool.

Wei kowtowed and said: "I have already told the big conspiracy that I overheard, please spare my son's life according to the promise."

Yang Qiuchi was thinking about the big conspiracy Wei said just now, after hearing what she said, he said casually: "That depends on your performance."

Wei's face flushed, he wiped the blood from his forehead, and took a sneak look at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi wondered why Wei Shi was blushing, after thinking about it, he realized that what he said just now was a bit awkward, as if he had caught someone's handle and wanted to make evil plans for Wei Shi, he coughed hastily, Explained: "I mean, it's up to you to explain when and where you overheard this big conspiracy."

Wei Shi originally thought that this matter had been concealed, but she didn't expect that it was just an interrogation strategy by Yang Qiuchi. Now that he picked up the topic just now, she suddenly felt cold, and said falteringly: "I...I... "

"It seems that your memory is not very good." Yang Qiuchi sneered: "Let me tell you, you overheard the conversation between Cuihuan and Old Man Long at the fifth watch, right?"

After hearing Yang Qiuchi's words, Wei's face lost all color, and he looked at Yang Qiuchi in horror.Yang Qiuchi had seen this kind of look a lot. It was the kind of look that criminals showed when their crimes were about to be exposed.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "You must be very surprised how I know, because I have already found out that Cuihuan only went to Lichunyuan at five o'clock in the evening. Since you overheard her conversation with Old Man Long, naturally That's the time."

Seeing that the lie had been exposed, Wei said in a low voice, "Yes...it's the fifth watch, it's the woman who remembered it wrong."

"What are you doing in Lichun Garden late at night and five o'clock?"

"I...I..." Wei Shi obviously didn't think about how to fabricate a lie on this issue, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

"If you can't remember this question, then answer another question from me first: Where did you overhear their conversation in the Lichun Garden?"

Wei Shi was even more flustered, his body was already trembling slightly, biting his lips and not speaking.

Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "What? Have you forgotten this question? Let me remind you. At five o'clock that night, you overheard their conversation in Chunhong's room, right?"

Wei's whole body went limp, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "Miss Chunhong was killed at the fifth watch, and when Cuihuan came, Chunhong was already dead, so Cuihuan stepped on Chunhong's blood flowing on the floor, and at that time , you were already in the room, so you had the opportunity to overhear their conversation after they found out that Chunhong was dead. Am I right?"

Wei Shi bit his lip tightly, as if the only way to stop himself from confessing.

Yang Qiuchi didn't chase after him, but turned to another topic: "When I interrogated your son Shui Guzi just now, I found out that Miss Chunhong and your son were childhood sweethearts, and your son wanted you When the mediator went to their house to propose marriage, something happened to her family, and her father was forced to sell her to a brothel. Your son misses her wholeheartedly, but you don’t want your son to marry a prostitute as his wife, but your son has everything in his heart. Put it on Miss Chunhong, and even fled to Enyang Town secretly to make money for Pengjiazhuang as a house slave in order to redeem Miss Chunhong."

Song Yun'er didn't know why Yang Qiuchi was halfway through the question, and suddenly mentioned this matter, and looked at him puzzled.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "Your son is all your hope. You have tried every means to prevent your son from being with Miss Chunhong, but your son's love affair has just begun, and even five horses can't pull it back. You must have tried a lot of methods, but they failed. You Only then did I make up my mind, only by killing Chunhong can I break my son's thoughts."

"Ah!" Song Yun'er exclaimed, "Did she kill Chunhong?"

Wei Shi was still biting his lip, not saying a word.

Yang Qiuchi nodded, and then said to Wei: "I don't know when you came up with this idea. I heard your son say that you went to Lichun Garden to do laundry. I was a little surprised at that time. You don't want to Your son marries a prostitute, even if this woman is your son's childhood sweetheart, it shows that you hate prostitutes very much, so you would rather starve to death than do laundry in Lichun Garden , but you violated the rules, there is only one explanation—you came to Lichun Garden for another purpose.”

Song Yun'er also understood: "Chunhong is a well-known oiran in Lichunyuan, she wants to kill Chunhong, it is very difficult to have a chance, so she went to Lichunyuan to find opportunities."

"Exactly," Yang Qiuchi nodded, staring at the trembling Wei family and said, "That day your son came to Lichun Garden to look for you, and he also took this opportunity to secretly talk to Miss Chunhong. Your son's obsession made you finally decide Start. As for how you escaped my men's search, hid in the Lichun Garden and finally killed Miss Chunhong, I don't quite know."

Wei Shi still bit his lip tightly, staring at the ground, not saying anything.

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "You have no choice but to do this because your son is your only hope. I have now slowly begun to understand the kind of care a mother has for her child."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi thought of Liu Ruobing, as well as Qin Zhihui and Song Qing, they were all pregnant with their own children, the so-called raising children will only know the kindness of their parents, when their next generation is about to come to this world, Only then did Yang Qiuchi slowly realize the love parents have for their children, and only then did he understand every concern parents had for their children.

Wei Shi raised his head slowly and looked at Yang Qiuchi. His plump body was trembling slightly, and his eyes gradually became crystal clear.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Although you don't speak, I can be sure that you killed Miss Chunhong. I didn't know it before, but I knew it after I saw you."

Wei Shi looked at Yang Qiuchi suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about.
