"My wife was so scared that she lost her mind. In her haste to escape, it was impossible to determine whether Chen Zongxian was dead or alive. Wouldn't it be safer and more in line with the Wei family's behavior to blame everything on my wife and let her be her scapegoat?

"

He paused, "And according to the speculation of the grassroots, Mrs. Wei might have been thinking so when she hit Chen Zongxian with her clogs." A sneer appeared on Su Heng's face, "What made her suddenly change her mind and do this?

"Removing corpses" is so complicated? For a woman who is so unscrupulous and cruel, if she suddenly realizes her conscience and does not want her husband to be wronged because of her, so she destroys the corpses and eliminates traces, the grassroots committee will not believe it..."

"What's more, can a weak woman from the Wei family move away the tall and powerful Chen Zongxian..." Su Heng shook his head, "The common people think that there may be something hidden in it."

Magistrate Zhang stroked his mustache and nodded, "Yes, although Wei has pleaded guilty, there are still many doubts in this case." He said, his eyes swept over Su Heng, and said slowly, "That's it.

For example, Wei mentioned that the wooden clogs were very important but disappeared later... You probably know where to find them, right?"

Su Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Your Excellency, you are wise."

Magistrate Zhang said coldly with a straight face, "Don't put such a high hat on me! Even if you conceal your second trip to the mountain, you will still be suspected of murder."

"Sir!" Before Su Heng could speak, Song Yunpan lost his voice and said, "It is impossible for my second cousin to kill anyone! Please tell me!"

Su Heng hurriedly smiled and held her back, "Don't be nervous, the master is just scaring us... He knows that this matter has nothing to do with me."

Song Yunpan was stunned and quickly looked at Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang snorted angrily, "If you hadn't all made such nonsense and influenced my decision on the case, why would I not have a clue until now?"

Su Heng cupped his hands and said seriously, "Since you already know what happened that day, the common people have nothing to hide."

"Cao Min saw off his cousin that day and bumped into his wife on the way up the mountain... My wife was frightened at that time, and her whole body was on the verge of collapse... Your Excellency also has a wife and daughter, so I must be able to understand Cao Min's mood at that time."

"The grassroots sent my wife back. After confirming that my wife was okay, I turned back to the mountain. To be honest with you, what the grassroots were thinking at that time was to kill that beast Chen Zongxian."

Magistrate Zhang said coldly, "The state has national laws, and families have family rules - even if the deceased deserves death, there are still national laws to deal with it. How can you be allowed to take human life lightly?"

Su Heng said sternly, "What your Excellency said is true. But as a husband, Cao Min has to protect his wife. If he can remain indifferent to his wife being insulted like this, then what kind of man is Cao Min? What kind of face can he have?"

Between heaven and earth?"

"..." Magistrate Zhang choked up and said with a stern expression, "Then you should be lucky...if someone hadn't killed the deceased for you, you would be the murderer now.

."

For some reason, from the first time he saw Su Heng, he felt that the noble and aloof young man in front of him was not the murderer.

He would never admit that it had anything to do with the banknote.

Su Heng nodded, "When the people arrived at the hot spring, there was no one there. The people just thought that the man named Chen had escaped, so they came back with my wife's clothes and clogs."

Magistrate Zhang asked hurriedly, "Where are the clogs?"

Su Heng paused for a moment and said truthfully, "In the civilian carriage."

Magistrate Zhang was about to call someone to retrieve this important evidence, but he suddenly remembered that his limited manpower had sent him to the mountain. He couldn't help but snorted, "Who gave a false confession and hid the evidence secretly...

Do you know what else you did?"

Song Yunpan's eyes could not help but heat up as he listened, "Sir, please calm down... My second cousin did this all because of me..."

Seeing her eyes full of tears, Magistrate Zhang immediately softened his heart and waved his hand impatiently, "I didn't say that your husband killed her..." He paused and looked at Su

Heng said in a strange tone, "What do you think? When you make me look like a fool, do you feel that you are a particularly manly person and that you have the dignity to stand between heaven and earth?"

Su Heng's expression changed slightly, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, please spare the common people..."

Magistrate Zhang glared at him fiercely, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Although Wei does not have the qualifications to kill, the case did start because of her, and she cannot escape her involvement, even if she is not the murderer of the deceased.

, at least they are accomplices, or scapegoats. From this point of view, the suspicion of you and your wife can be cleared."

Because whether she is an accomplice or a scapegoat, what is certain is that the person she wants to protect is definitely not Su Heng or Song Yunpan.

Su Heng heard the implication, "But you don't have any evidence, right?"

Magistrate Zhang scratched his head in annoyance, "This Wei family is in great trouble. He fainted after saying a few words and couldn't even be tried..."

Su Heng thought for a while, "According to the laws of this dynasty, if someone like Wei is pregnant, even if he kills someone, he will not be sentenced to death..."

Magistrate Zhang nodded, "And she always insisted that she killed him accidentally. She just wanted to vent her anger... Even if she threw the deceased from the mountain, she thought he was already dead..."

"In this case, even if she is convicted, she will only be exiled at most." Magistrate Zhang sighed helplessly, "But I still bluffed her - I told her that because the nature of her crime was too bad, even if she was pregnant,

, even after she gave birth, she would still have to pay for the death of the deceased..." He said sarcastically, "Who would have thought that after hearing this, she was so frightened that she fainted."

Su Heng: "..." I really don't know what to praise you for...

"The persecuted person who should have been sympathized with by others not only helped the tyrants to persecute him because of his own mistakes, but now he has become a murderer." Magistrate Zhang lamented, "This Wei family really makes people lament their misfortune and make them angry.

"

Thinking back to the warm-smiling, gentle and approachable Mrs. Wei when she first arrived, Song Yunpan felt mixed emotions in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was like... but she felt that Su Heng held his hand tightly.

Song Yunpan couldn't help but raise his head and smiled to reassure him.

After experiencing so many things, she has learned not to use kindness on people who don't deserve it...

Su Heng felt at ease when he heard County Magistrate Zhang say, "I have invited Mrs. Su here. In addition to verifying some information, I also want you to persuade her. You are both women, maybe -"
