The old woman said, "I don't have any evidence? I just know that my son must have been wronged."

When Lu Jinping heard the old man say this over and over again, he said, "Old man, today is the second day after the imperial edict is issued, and he must be executed. If your son kills someone, he must bear the consequences, so you should hurry up and prepare to handle his funeral."

"They said that my son forced Chunya to death and wanted to rape her. Chunya was humiliated and couldn't figure it out and hanged it. This was impossible. My son wouldn't even rape Chunya, even if Chunya took off all his clothes and lay on the bed, my son wouldn't do anything to her."

"Why do the old man say that?"

I looked at Lu Jinping, gritted my teeth, made up my mind, lowered my voice and said, "There is something I can tell you to Sir, in order to avenge my son, but Sir, Sir, promised me not to tell me, because it is related to my son's face."

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will help you keep the secret."

"Thank you, sir. This is true. It can prove that my son will not rape Chunya at all. My son was bitten by a dog when he was a child. He bit off his words. The balls are still there, but there is no word. Therefore, my son has never married because he is not without money, but he is unwilling to let his daughter stay widowed. His heart is actually kind. After this incident, I moved to another place with my son, so no one knows about this."

Lu Jinping's eyes widened when he heard this. There was such a thing.

The old woman continued, "My son can't rape Chunya, he won't rape either, because Chunya grew up with him earlier. He treated her like his own sister. Later, Chunya wanted to marry him, but he refused to do it. Chunya was sad and married Shi Jingsheng. For this matter, my son didn't eat a bite of food in bed for three days and three nights, and kept crying. I saw it with my own eyes. But there was no way. You said Chunya begged to marry my son at that time, but my son didn't agree. Will he rape her?"

Lu Jinping pondered for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "No! Why didn't you tell the yamen about these things before?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "I have a reason for my son to be unfilial, because I always force him to get married. I said that even if I don't say that, I can't get a woman to take care of him. And I can also adopt a child to inherit the incense. If he doesn't do it, I will argue with him. After all the arguments, he is upset, so he left me alone and went to the city to be a pig slayer. I was sad and desperate, so I ignored him and hadn't seen him for more than ten years. In fact, he came to me and wanted to pick me up into the city, but I said that he wouldn't get married, so I wouldn't see him again. But he would rather not see me than marry him. Alas! Speaking of which, I was forced to be unfilial. From this, we can tell that my son is very kind in his heart and he can't do something like killing."

Lu Jinping thought for a while and said, "What you said just now can only prove that your son did not have the possibility of forcing Tsengchunya, but it cannot prove that he did not cut Shi Jingsheng's father to death. There is no negative evidence for this key issue."

"Since my son cannot rape Chunya, then the so-called Chunya hanging and other things do not exist. Why should his father and son come to my son to argue with me? So, they are wronging my son!"

Lu Jinping was a little surprised. The old woman's thinking logic was still very logical. Indeed, if Butcher Qu was not able to rape Chunya, then Shi Jingsheng and his father would not be able to find Butcher Qu, and there would be no murder in front of the door, which shows that Chunya's death should have another reason.

So what exactly made them find Butcher Qu? Is it a misunderstanding or something else?

Now, the evidence of guilt in this case is very solid. Even if Lu Jinping ignores the old woman's statement, it is not an exaggeration to say that the old woman is. However, when it comes to death, life is at stake, every suspicion must be ruled out. Therefore, Lu Jinping decided to use the last day to find out the suspicion in this case as much as possible.

The first thing that needs to be verified is the old woman's testimony about Butcher Qu's sexual incompetence.

He immediately came to the yamen prison, and did not let the prison guards follow him, so he interrogated the trial by himself. After seeing Butcher Qu, he did not talk nonsense, and directly issued an order: "Take off your pants and I want to check your male root."

The last time the Butcher Qu saw Lu Jinping come to the prison without saying a word, but he just extracted the spit from his mouth. He didn't know what it meant. Now that Lu Jinping came to the prison again, he actually wanted to check what he said this time. He couldn't help but feel frightened and embarrassed, and said timidly: "Sir, I..., I don't understand what you mean."

"Take off your pants! All, hurry up!" Lu Jinping didn't say more nonsense. Although this disobedient son has now been forgiven by his mother, Lu Jinping still doesn't have much affection for him and is too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

Now Butcher Qu understood what Lu Jinping meant, and even his black face turned into a pig's liver: "Sir, are you...?"

"This is necessary to find out your case. Are you willing to behead your head or take off your pants?"

When he heard this, Butcher Qu more or less understood Lu Jinping's intention, and hope suddenly aroused in his heart. He gritted his teeth, took off his pants, blushed and lifted his clothes up, revealing his words.

Lu Jinping looked at it and found that he was completely speechless, and only two eggs were left. No wonder he had a beard and had the characteristics of a man, but he could not speak humanly and was unwilling to marry.

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "You can lift your pants up. I'll ask you again, have you ever met Chunya, Shi Jingsheng's wife? When?"

"See," said Butcher Qu, while tied his pants, "Chunya and I have been together since childhood. She has always liked me very much. She said privately that she would marry me, but I..., I can't. Master, you have also seen that words under my crotch are gone, I can't be humane, I can't let Chunya stay widowed. But if I had known this would happen, I... would have married her, and I wouldn't have been here today."

"Do you know how Chunya died?"

"I don't know exactly. I heard that I was hanged. I didn't know the news, so I was arrested by the people from the yamen. When I went to the yamen to interrogate me, I realized that Chunya was hanged. They falsely accused me of killing Chunya's father-in-law, Shi Jingsheng's father. I really didn't kill him, although I heard that Chunya was living a bad life in their house, Shi Jingsheng was very suspicious and often beat and scolded Chunya. Once I got drunk and asked Shi Jingsheng to argue, Chunya cried and said that I would force her to die if I did this again. I never looked for Shi Jingsheng again. Even if I heard that Chunya was beaten and scolded by him, I could only bear it."

"Have you seen Chunya before this happened? You have to tell the truth!"

"I..., I..."

Seeing him hesitating, Lu Jinping said with a dark face: "I remind you that every word now may determine whether your head falls, because there is only one day left for you. By noon tomorrow, if I can't make sure that your case is an unjust case, you will be sent to the court again."

"But I really didn't kill anyone, I was wronged."

"So, you have to try your best to find evidence to confirm that you were wronged. I also began to believe that you have wronged, or that there is something strange in this case, but you have to tell evidence in everything. This is even more so in the case. Without evidence, I can't help you overturn your judgment, nor can I save your life. Everything is probably just because of whether you tell the truth. Therefore, you must confess every question I ask truthfully and must not hide it, otherwise you may never have the chance to tell the truth."

Butcher Qu nodded heavily, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master, for clearing the grievances of the villain. No matter what, I will never forget your kindness in my life."

"If you don't tell the truth and waste time slowly, your whole life will only last until noon tomorrow."

Butcher Qu said, "I must report everything I know to the Lord. Yes, Shi Jingsheng went to the exam and I saw Chunya during this period. That evening, it was almost dark, and I drank wine and felt very upset because I thought of the scene between Chunya and I when I was a child, so I couldn't help but go to her and want to talk to her. That's all. Master, you know, I can't do things between men and women. When I saw Chunya, I didn't expect Chunya to jump at me all of a sudden.

She cried in her arms, saying that she had lived enough of such a life and she couldn't stand it anymore. I asked him what happened? She said that Shi Jingsheng and his son had always suspected that she had an affair with me, especially during this period, when Shi Jingsheng went to Beijing to take the exam, his father-in-law often asked her if she had met me. Even if there was a little source, Chunya had a smile on his face, and he said that the spring heart was rippling, which must have been the result of seeing me, so he scolded her and even directly called her a bitch."

"Chunya said she never wanted to live such a life again. She hoped that I could take her away, even if I wanted to beg for food from me, even the ends of the world. I was very sad when I saw her crying so sadly. I also drank wine at that time and felt that instead of letting her suffer in the Shi family like this, it would be better for him to follow me. Even if I can't give her the humanity between husband and wife, I can definitely give her the happiness of life, which will definitely be better than now. I said that when Shi Jingsheng comes back, I will go to find him and ask him to divorce his wife, and then I will marry Chunya."

"Chunya was very happy, so she hugged me and kissed me, and I hugged her and kissed her. At this moment, Shi Jingsheng's father suddenly jumped out of the dark and began to scold us with very vicious words, especially Chunya, which was very ugly. I was also angry at that time, so I slapped him in the face. He fell to the ground and did not dare to scold me anymore, and then got up and left. I told Chunya not to go back, but Chunya said she had to go back. Before Shi Jingsheng divorced her, she was Shi Jingsheng's wife, and she wanted to marry me legitimately. As long as I can remember what we agreed on, she will wait for me."

"I didn't expect that after three days of Chunya's return, I was taken away by the yamen. They told me that Chunya had been hanged, saying that I was raped and humiliated by me, but I really didn't. They said that Shi Jingsheng's father came to my house to find me and was hacked to death at the gate of the yard. It was ridiculous. I had never seen them before, so how could I kill him? He was really slandering! When I was in the yamen, I admitted that I killed it because I was tortured but scolded me. Master, every word I said is true. If there is a lie, there will be five thunders!" (To be continued)
