Chapter 79
Behind the man in purple clothes stood a handsome man dressed as a pawn, with a thin figure, slightly high cheekbones, and slightly sunken cheeks.

Yunxi was stunned for a moment.

Why did the instructor Yang Tuo and the workshop official Li Ru appear here?

Didn't the edict have nothing to do with county affairs?
What's more, apart from Jia Si, this prison doesn't even have half a prisoner.

Then their purpose of coming here can only be themselves and Yunnan!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. The teaching and workshop had almost nothing to do with the punishment room in terms of official duties. If it was to chat and make friends, it was impossible to pick this time and place.

Could it be that the news of the disturbance in Jinhun Village has already reached Yang's ears, and they are going to knock the mountain and shake the tiger? !

Yunnan took the lead in bowing and saluting, Yunxi immediately followed, and the two said respectfully, "I have seen Master Jiaoyu."

Without waiting for Yang Tuo's reaction, Yunnan straightened up and asked the first question: "I don't know why Master Jiao came here? If there is something to do, the torture room will definitely assist with all its strength."

Yunxi praised Yunnan again in her heart.

Prisons and prisons were originally under the jurisdiction of the punishment room, so asking questions and taking the initiative to guide them not only bypassed the previous vernacular jokes in other worlds, but also cut off the other party's conversation about private matters.

Now is not the time to waste time.

Yang Tuo slowly rubbed the stove in his hand, and opened his mouth slowly, but only uttered two words:
"interesting!"

Yunnan frowned slightly, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "If there are instructions, I hope the adults will speak clearly."

Unexpectedly, Yang Tuo turned around, turned his head sideways, narrowed his eyes slightly on his soft face, and said indifferently: "There are not many smart people," he chuckled, "It's just that there are fewer people who are confused Do it, so cherish yourself." After speaking, he turned his head and left gracefully.

Li Ru, who had been silent all this time, glanced at them meaningfully, turned around, followed the dazzling purple, and left steadily.

Looking at the backs of those two people going away, Yunxi's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Is this a warning or a solicitation?

Or both?
"Let's go," Yunan patted her on the shoulder, "I haven't done anything more important."

"Well, let's go!" Yunxi nodded heavily, strode out of the prison. 
As soon as he entered the gate of the Second Hall, He Butou, who had already been waiting by the gate, immediately approached him, handed over a note, and whispered back: "Everything that the clerk told me has been settled!"

Yunxi took the note and handed it to Yunnan. Seeing him nodding slightly, he whispered to Captain He to wait aside temporarily.

Finally arrived in front of the second hall, the sky has gradually darkened.

The tall door leaf is pasted with clean window paper, and the house has already turned on the lights, and the warm light smudges the white window paper into a warm yellow.At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.

"Is the person here an official of the prison?"

Yunxi frowned slightly.

She remembered this voice, the ending sound was always raised with a smile, it was the tiger-like Hu Zhiquan who was right.

Yunxi took a breath, raised her hand and pushed the door open.

The lights in the room are high, and the shadows of the candles are very bright.

Yunxi lowered his gaze, and only then did he see clearly that all the officials in Teng County had taken their seats in order according to their official positions.

Fu Shengliang sits in the middle seat, Hu Ke is on the left, Hu Zhiquan and Xi Dailun are next in turn.

Sitting on the right is Yang Zhou, followed by Yang Tuo, Li Ru, and Bai Ran.

With the sound of the wooden door creaking, the eyes of a group of people all focused on the two of them.

Yunxi coughed lightly, and bowed to Yunnan to salute, and after a round of polite conversation in the official circle, he stood in the hall, straightened up and said slowly: "Yun Xiuzhu, the punishment room official, is unwell, and the cause of Lu Decai's case will be determined by the junior official." Yunxi will report back on his behalf, and please forgive me, my lords."

Fu Shengliang picked up a porcelain tea bowl as white as jade, pinched the lid, slowly touched the floating tea, and said nonchalantly: "Don't be too rigid, please tell me, Secretary Yun." Yunxi returned the gift slightly, then got up After clapping their hands twice, the guards escorted Jia Si, Li Huiniang, and Li Yuan into the hall in turn.
She watched the three of them knelt down one by one, her voice was emotionless, and she spoke very clearly, "On a snowy night earlier this year, that is, on the tenth day of the first winter month, a murder occurred in Caojiazhuang, Teng County. Orion Lu Decai died tragically at home. According to my inference, when he died It should be around midnight on the tenth day of the lunar new year."

At this moment, Xi Dailun, who was seated at the end, patted his thigh, with a disdainful sneer on his fleshy face, "We have all heard about this case, hasn't the murderer already pleaded guilty? Now that he has pleaded guilty, You torture room is still checking farts."

Jia Si, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately rubbed forward, knocking his head like pounding garlic, "Xiaomin pleads guilty! Lu Decai was killed by Xiaomin, adults, don't try again! Xiaomin plead guilty!" "Dai Lun! My adults They are all here, how can you, a military officer, intervene?" Hu Ke, who had been stroking his gray beard, warned displeasedly.

Jia Si also trembled in fright, quickly silenced, and lay down on the ground, not daring to move any more.

Xi Dailun curled his lips angrily, but sat upright and stopped interrupting.

Yunxi knew that although Fu Shengliang was the county magistrate, he was already an empty shell. If it wasn't for his background, the prefect of Teng County might have changed hands.

The Hu family is clearly demonstrating their territorial authority to the county magistrate and the Yang family.

But she still bowed her hands to Hu Ke, saying with gratitude, "In Lu Decai's case, the prisoner has been brought to justice, but the reason why the case is not closed is because there is a mastermind behind the prisoner!"

Hu Ke stroked his beard and nodded with a gentle smile, motioning Yunxi to continue.

"One of the evidences, the door leaf!"

"Door?" Someone asked softly.

Yunxi said with certainty: "It's the door leaf! According to Wu's inspection, the bolts of the Lu family's door leaf have been carefully remodeled, and they cannot be pried open from the outside at all, and cannot be broken except by a huge external force! The door knocked by Jia Si is damaged. serious!"

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and someone immediately carried a door leaf in from outside the door.

Yunxi glanced at it, and it was Policeman He and another policeman.

She pointed to the broken part of the door lock and continued: "Break the door vigorously. If Lu Decai, who is several times stronger than Jia Si, falls asleep normally, he will be able to hear the sound, then Jia Si is looking for his own death!"

"However, if Lu De fell asleep abnormally and fell into a coma, how would Jia Si know about the situation? Therefore, an insider must have told him the exact news, so that Jia Si could carry out the murder!"

Everyone couldn't help nodding their heads slightly.

"Evidence [-], Mantou!"

Someone laughed softly.

It's either a door or a steamed bun. These evidences sound very unreliable.

Yunxi smiled slightly, "This steamed bun is not an ordinary steamed bun. It is cake for lunch and steamed bun for dinner, but only the steamed bun has been given a large dose of drugs. It can be said to be carefully designed and well-intentioned!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

"These were all done by Li Huiniang herself before returning to her mother's house. Jia Si, who knows well, only needs to observe Lu De before he is at home normally. In the middle of the night, he can go up and knock on the door vigorously. If there is no response, he will know that Lu De is sleeping to death, and he can do it." Breaking down the door recklessly, breaking into the house and killing people in a grand manner!"

"So Li Huiniang's crime of 'wife and concubine who murdered her husband because of rape' has been confirmed?" the fat and white Hu Zhiquan asked with narrowed eyes.

"I'm wronged!" Hearing Hu Zhiquan's words, Li Huiniang wailed bitterly, and tried to defend herself under the restraint of the yamen servant: "The minnv was just deceived by Li Yuan. If he sells it, he's just a smuggler!"

Li Huiniang continued to argue, but Yunxi's gloomy expression eased a little.

Fortunately, everything is going according to her preset.

Li Huiniang didn't know the names of Lingouxiang and Jinhunzhai. Although the language was abducted, it didn't involve Yanzhou forces, so she had room for maneuver.

But she also noticed that the complexions of Yang Tuo and Yang Zhou had become more and more serious.

What follows is the expected defense of Li Yuan.

It's nothing more than the same set of words in the car, all of which are Li Huiniang's poisonous tricks.

The difference is that he only said that he sold it because he was afraid of this vicious woman. According to his words, he only sold this one woman.

It seems that Li Yuan is more afraid of involving Lingou Xiang than she is.

At this moment, Li Ru, who was sitting under Yang Tuo, asked aloud, "Then who is the mastermind of these two?"

Yunxi replied affirmatively: "These three are the main criminals!"

Li Ru frowned, "Usually there is a distinction between primary and secondary, but there is such a coincidence that they are all the principal offenders?"

"Before that," Yunxi didn't answer, but turned to Fu Shengliang and said calmly, "Please allow me to answer the question of Dianli Hu first."

Hu Zhiquan was also taken aback for a moment, then nodded again, as if he had recalled the previous question about Li Huiniang murdering her husband as a wife and concubine.

Fu Shengliang waved his hand to signal Yunxi to continue, and she continued, "Even if Li Huiniang killed Lu Decai with her own hands, she would not commit the crime of 'killing husband because of wife and concubine'; sin!"

"Why?" Hu Zhiquan blurted out.

"Because Li Huiniang is not Lu Decai's wife at all!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and even Li Huiniang raised her head in surprise.

Yunxi stood up straight, paced, looked around the crowd, her starry eyes were shining brightly, "When Lu Decai went up the mountain, he accidentally saved Li Huiniang. At first, he tricked her into trusting her with the excuse of sending Huiniang home. The family took the travel expenses and raped Li Huiniang! Later, she was imprisoned at home for more than ten months!"

"Not only did there not be three mediators and six recruits, there was no marriage witness, and I didn't meet Li's elders. They were just imprisoned for many years. I dare to ask you, what Lu Decai did, how can it be a normal marriage?"

As she said that, she became more and more righteous and indignant, "This is obviously a woman from a good family!"

"That's why before Lu Decai was killed, he had already committed the crime of robbing a woman from a good family and taking his wife and concubine by hanging! Therefore, even if Li Huiniang killed him herself, he was only guilty of ordinary murder."

"In the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who murders or makes intentions shall be beheaded. Those who gain merit will be strangled. Those who do not add merit will be rode a hundred times and flow three thousand miles. After killing, they will sit down.

Those who plan and act without harming others will receive a hundred sticks and three years in prison.What's more, it was Lu Decai who raped Li Huiniang first, and Jia Si took advantage of Lu Decai's drunkenness to rape Li Huiniang. Therefore, although Li Huiniang was the mastermind of the murder, there are reasons for it. "This time, not only the officials were surprised, but even Fu Shengliang's eyes widened unconsciously.

Yunxi understood.

Although the Great Ming law is carefully designed and strict, it involves a wide range of areas, and it also protects women's rights.

But in this realistic patriarchal society, men are still the easiest to ignore women's feelings.

Hui Niang was rescued by Lu Decai. Even though Lu Decai took Hui Niang forcibly later, people would subconsciously think that Hui Niang just couldn't figure it out for a while, and later they cooked rice and cooked rice, so they naturally accepted their husband and wife relationship.

People will only see that even Li Huiniang's mother has no objection.

She couldn't put herself in her shoes, that disabled old woman who was blind was totally incapable of defending her daughter's rights.

Speaking of this, Li Huiniang had already sat on the ground in a daze, her eyes were at a loss, and she didn't realize that tears were pouring down on her face.

Even she herself thought that the uncooked rice had already become a cooked meal, and that Lu Decai had already taken over her as his wife.

Looking at Huiniang, Yunxi became more determined, facing Li Ru, and said with a solemn expression: "Now, let me answer the question of the chief culprit. Li Huiniang is indeed the mastermind who ordered Jia Si to kill Lu Decai!"

As she said that, she turned to Jia Si and asked in a deep voice: "Jia Si, I know that you risked your life because Li Huiniang was pregnant with your flesh and blood, and wanted to take her away from Lu Decai."

"No, Xiaomin held a grudge against Lu Decai, that's why he killed him, it has nothing to do with Hui Niang!" Jia Si still remained stubborn.

"Well, let me tell you two things, I hope after listening, you will not change your mind."

"First, Li Huiniang is not pregnant at all. She is pregnant with your own flesh and blood. It is just a bait to trick you into killing Lu Decai."

Jia Si's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Li Huiniang in disbelief, his lips began to tremble involuntarily!

"Secondly, Lu Decai entrusted the official silver that Lu Decai snatched from the bandits to Li Yuan, the shopkeeper from the beginning to the end. She never thought of sharing it with you equally!" Yunxi looked at Hui Niang again. , asked softly: "Huiniang, am I right?"

Li Huiniang propped her hands on the ground, closed her eyes sadly, and nodded bitterly and helplessly.

"Bitch!" Jia Si yelled loudly!Struggling to rush towards Li Huiniang, the jailer easily restrained her neck with his arms, and scratched desperately in Li Huiniang's direction with only one hand.

However, it is all the officials present who are more intense than Jia Si's emotion!
No one would have expected that listening to an adultery and murder case, one could also hear a treasure coming from the sky!

They had heard about the bandit looting the official bank of Lin County; the encirclement and suppression of the bandit was even more well known!
Now in such a small case, how can we find news about the official bank? !

Everyone is looking at each other, either surprised, shocked, or cold, all in shock!
Yunxi stepped in front of Jia Si, blocked Li Huiniang, lowered her eyebrows, and said calmly, "I'll ask you one last time. Is it really your idea to kill Lu De at night?"

Jia Si's bulging eyes were scarlet, and because of being tightly restrained, every muscle in his body seemed to burst, "I confess! I confess everything! It was that bitch who instigated me to stab Lu Decai to death while he was unconscious. Yes! This slut also said that I got the money with me!"

"Jia Si, you killed someone with your own hands. Although you were bewitched by others, you still have the motive of being greedy for money and sex, so you are also the main culprit."

This sentence was like a thin silver needle, piercing Jia Si's mustered anger, instantly pricking all his confidence, his whole body twitched and suddenly let out a howl, as if all his strength had been drained , limp on the ground.

Yunxi's eyes were calm and calm, and she faced the crowd again, raised her right hand high, pointed her fingers one by one, and said loudly: "One is the steamed bun that has been drugged, and the other is Jia Si who broke into the door. The timing, opportunity, and dosage of the three drugs are all controlled by Li Huiniang."

Yunxi's dark eyes were shining, as if the clear moonlight was projected on the cold pool, "It was she who hooked up with Jia Si, and she was the one who persuaded Jia Si. It was she who told Li Merchant and Jia Si that Lu Decai had a windfall! If She is not the mastermind, so she cannot convince Jia Si! Motives, witnesses, and physical evidence are all available, Li Huiniang! Are you still subduing the law?

Huiniang's eyes were tearful, she prostrated herself on the ground, her body was trembling, she was choked up with sobs, "Huiniang... pleaded guilty..."

Yunxi slowly turned to Li Yuan again, with a solemn expression, "Li Yuan, the shopkeeper! You first seduced a woman from a good family, and then encouraged Jia Si to commit murder. Although it was apparent that you wanted to get rid of Lu Decai, you actually wanted to design Jia Si. Let him commit a murder case so that you can get rid of the shackles of blackmail. There is a plan, and there is also the matter of abducting and trafficking women from a good family, and you will add more crimes, will you plead guilty?"

Li Yuan raised his head and glanced at everyone in the room, his eyes flickering, and finally knelt down on the ground, and replied softly: "Li Yuan is willing to plead guilty."

For some reason, Yunxi always felt that Li Yuan looked at Yang Tuo emphatically.

"If that's the case, the case will be closed." Dian Shi Yang Zhou squinted his eyes, put the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table, and said coldly, "It's just where is the official money that the bandits robbed?"

This issue is also the most concerned by officials.

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Yunxi again following Yang Zhou's question.

"This question is not in a hurry." It was Fu Shengliang who spoke. He waved his hands, suppressed everyone's doubts, and stared straight at Yunxi. A very thin cold light flashed in his bright eyes, "So It seems that Jia Si, the most direct killer, has the weakest desire to kill in the end, and he least wants to kill Lu Decai. Isn't this contrary to the murder motive of wanting to take the treasure and run away with Li Huiniang?"

There was a slight smile on the corner of Yunxi's lips.

Fu Shengliang is indeed no ordinary person!
She took a step back, bowed her hands, straightened her body, held her head high, and said in a slightly raised tone, confident and forceful, "Your Excellency has learned! This is the biggest flaw in Lu Decai's case to hide the murderer! And after solving this problem, the thief officer Yin's whereabouts will be known!"

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and everyone tied up their ears, for fear of missing any news!
