Chapter 15 The Unchangeable Inferior Roots of Humanity Through the Ages
"Third, why did the county government insist that it was you who killed Zhang Yourui, not the thief?"
"It was a good idea to drag Zhang Yourui's body into the courtyard and pretend it was a thief. But you made a mistake."
"When Zhang Yourui died, his body was lying in the courtyard with his feet facing the house and his head facing out. The fatal wound was on the back of his head. This shows that the murderer attacked him from behind and attacked him with a blunt instrument."
"How is this possible? If the murderer is a gentleman from Liang Shang, when he sees his master coming back, he will either stand still or retreat, deliberately attack and kill, but go back empty-handed?"
Li Zhenzhen was stunned. She didn't expect that there were so many flaws.
Xu Qi'an's words had a strong impact on her, making her feel that what she had done had been exposed in broad daylight and there was no way to hide it.
Panic almost took over her.
"I have nothing to say, and Zhang Xian has nothing to say, so he confessed you. He also said that it was you who seduced him shamelessly. He didn't want to continue to be entangled with you, but you threatened him with the child in his belly.
He forced him. That night, you also took advantage of the chaos and beat Zhang Yourui to death."
"Zhang Xian is an innocent victim. He knew that there were so many flaws and he was doomed, so he confessed to the county magistrate. He is willing to offer five hundred taels of silver to smoothen the relationship and put the blame on you, so that you alone can bear the responsibility for murdering your parents.
Husband’s sin.”
The more Yang Zhenzhen listened, the more frightened she became, and her face became more and more desperate. After learning that Zhang Xian had betrayed her, her pretty face turned pale with no color at all.
"You know best who Zhang Xian is," Xu Qian said deliberately.
Xu Qi'an didn't know what kind of person Zhang Xian was, he just didn't believe how strong a relationship like this that had nothing to do with love but only desire could be.
Moreover, Zhang Xian is a rich second generation. Being rich means that you can eat a lot of abalone, so why hang yourself on a piece of abalone?
Yang Zhenzhen was desperate.
"But," Xu Qi'an continued to persuade: "The county magistrate Wei Guangzheng means integrity and justice. He did not believe Zhang Xian's one-sided words and ordered me to come for questioning. If you confess and be lenient, the county magistrate promises to spare you the death penalty."
Yang Zhenzhen raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with tears, as if grasping a life-saving straw, she cried out: "Seriously?"
Xu Qian nodded: "Seriously."
Seeing that Yang Zhenzhen's mind had finally been shaken, Xu Qi'an immediately opened the door and called the attendant waiting at the door to come in and take notes.
Yang Zhenzhen's psychological defense was broken and she told the truth.
She did have an affair with her stepson and became pregnant with his child. However, there was some discrepancy with what Xu Qian said just now. She was not the one who took the initiative. The process of her hookup with Zhang Xian can be summarized in eight words: stepson, please respect yourself, stepson, please take the initiative!
Zhang Xian had coveted the beauty of this stepmother for a long time, and took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in when she was alone in the empty boudoir.
Yang Zhenzhen half-rejected and half-accepted.
The so-called affair was a temporary pleasure, and the whole family was cremated. After the incident that night, the father and son had a conflict. Zhang Xian accidentally hit me to death while holding a vase.
In order to get away with the crime, he confessed to Yang Zhenzhen and pretended to be a thief.
It's a pity that the two of them are ordinary people, not professionals, they have too many loopholes, and they also encountered Xu Qian, a fool.
According to the transcript last night, Xu Qian and the minister left the forbidden room.
A veteran who has been working in the county government for more than 20 years was impressed by Xu Qian's saucy tactics. "I treated you with admiration after three days apart. I have been working in the county government for half my life, and I have never encountered anyone who handles cases like you."
The Prisoner's Dilemma is an old routine, so you ancients are the only ones making a fuss. Xu Qian waved his hand: "It's a small trick."
He chose to use Yang Zhenzhen as a breakthrough point because he bullied her for not knowing the law and having long hair and short knowledge. This is the most suitable description for a woman of this era.
When the county magistrate was examining the case, Xu Qian observed for a long time and found that Yang Zhenzhen had a weak character and had no independent opinion.
So the idea came up.
He had just deceived Yang Zhenzhen. According to the law of Da Feng, if he commits adultery and murders her husband, the woman will be executed without delay, and the adulterer will be beheaded in public. It is impossible to avoid the death penalty.
In this case, it was Zhang Xian who committed murder, and it was Ling Chi who committed patricide. Xu Qian had no opinion on how a beast who killed his father died. He just felt that Yang Zhenzhen was an accessory and the crime was not worthy of death.
This conflicted with the legal concept he had cultivated in his previous life.
"Every era has its rules, and conforming to the general trend is the way to survive." Xu Qian told himself in his heart.
Zhang Xian was caught off guard when he saw Yang Zhenzhen's confession. He could no longer argue and confessed in despair.
Xu Qian went to the inner hall with two confessions.
Magistrate Zhu held a tea cup in his left hand and a book in his right hand. He looked down and saw Xu Qi'an coming in, so he put down the book and tea: "How?"
Xu Qian put the two confessions on the table: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Magistrate Zhu immediately grabbed the confession, shook the paper, and after reading it carefully, he struck the case and said angrily: "You bastard, you bastard!"
Lao Zhu felt that his three views as a scholar had been challenged.
After getting angry, he looked at Xu Qian again, and his impression of this boy was extremely good.
"Ning Yan, I will remember you for your good work."
"It's because of the good teachings of the adults and the influence of the villains that I learned some trivial tricks." Xu Qian threw a rainbow fart at him.
Magistrate Zhu looked delighted
At the end of Shen Chu's shift, Wang Captou said he wanted to treat the guests to drinks, so he took eight fast workers to the tavern.
With the silver standard, commodity prices are stable, and one penny of silver can book a sumptuous dinner in a large restaurant, let alone a tavern.
Because of his miraculous reasoning and even more shocking interrogation, Xu Qi'an became the protagonist. Even the headman Wang asked him for advice on the interrogation process.
"That woman has a soft personality and can't stand being scared, so it's not a big deal." Xu Qian is an old man. He will never praise himself or break away from the masses. But Capt. Wang and his colleagues listened very much and felt that they had opened up a new world.
door.
He toasted to Xu Qian diligently.
After three drinks, the conversation among the elders inevitably turned to places like brothels and Goulan.
In this regard, Wang Captou became the protagonist. He patted Xu Qi'an on the shoulder: "Ning Yan, today I will take you to goulan and have fun."
Everyone laughed ambiguously, knowing that Xu Qian was a child.
"Boss, do you want a treat?"
"How much money is there?" Wang Captou refused.
Xu Qi'an said solemnly, "I'm not that kind of person."
If I lose my body, I will never be able to reach the state of Qi training in this life.
Speaking of the traditional culture of brothel, it contains profound knowledge. Xu Qian listened attentively and concluded in his mind:
Goulan is a brothel. It is aimed at ordinary people. Brothel is more upscale. Its customer group is wealthy businessmen and dignitaries. Isn't it just a hair salon and a club?
In the Dafeng Dynasty, when it came to brothel culture, Jiaofangsi could not be avoided.
"The ladies in the Jiaofang Division are really beautiful," Wang Captou said with emotion: "They are all the family members of the prison officials. They all have thin skin and tender flesh that can make you pinch water."
"At the beginning of the year, I followed the county magistrate to play there. I was lucky enough to see the girl Fuxiang, who has a pretty face." A look of amazement appeared on Wang Captou's face.
"Who is Miss Fuxiang?" Xiao Li asked: "Boss, did you sleep with her?"
"Fuxiang is the courtesan of Jiaofangsi. If I hadn't already had a benefactor that night, I would have slept with her." Wang Captou boasted about the free money.
"How much does it cost to sleep for a night?" Xu Qian's heart moved.
"Thirty taels."
Xu Qi'an grabbed a handful of peanuts for him and said, "Boss, eat some peanuts and I'll make you drunk."
This damn thing is gold inlaid with jade. Thirty taels of silver can buy several little ladies, so you can play it at home, right? The only unchanging evil of human beings from ancient times to the present is to drive up x prices!
