Chapter 74, Inquiry

At the beginning, the two of them continued to curse each other, but after two or three steps, they were all crying. In the end, neither of them could scream.

There was only the sound of a board hitting his body in the hall. Wu Ruijiang wanted to speak, but the magistrate did not dare to let him speak when Wang Qi had already made a sound. He quickly asked the yamen runners to block his mouth and drag him down.

Although it was a bit unexpected to be arrested before, Wu Ruijiang did not resist because he firmly believed that there was no evidence in the yamen. Now he deliberately resisted. Although he was bound by iron chains, these yamen runners who rely entirely on brute force could not suppress him for a while.

At one moment, Wu Ruijiang seized the opportunity and confessed, "Ren Xiuxiu committed suicide. She found me last year and said she wanted to avenge Wenzhu. I didn't want to. She used Wenzhu and I to go privately, and had a letter I wrote to Wenzhu in hand to coerce me and force me to help her. She said I didn't need to do it, just need to steal Wang Qi's knife and pull out the weapon and throw it at Wang Qi's house after she died. I really don't know she would be so cruel to herself..."

Chen, who was beaten to the point of being so hard that he was exhausted. When he heard these words, he held out a breath and cursed again. "Xiuxiu was afraid of pain when she was a child. She was so cruel to herself. She was still a big yellow girl who didn't know anything. How could she know the way to have fun in the boudoir? Wu Ruijiang, you can't make up lies. You are not willing to die. If you kill my daughter, you will destroy her reputation."

The people outside the hall also felt that Chen was right. How could a girl understand those lustful things? Not to mention that Wu Ruijiang's speech was capricious and had long lost the trust of the spectators. In their opinion, Wu Ruijiang was just a cruel and perverted killer who dared not recognize him and bite him everywhere.

Wu Ruijiang, who is determined to uphold justice, could not bear the people who protect themselves with their lives to look at themselves with such contempt. With Wang Qi's words, he must not die on the execution ground in the name of a murderer. "Aunt Chen, do you think you understand your daughter very much? She knows everything. She knows more things than you. She hates Wang Qi, but she hates her father the most!"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Ren Tao, who had almost never spoken after entering the court, pointed at Wu Ruijiang and started cursing.

"Don't trust him. You are kind to others. You are all pretending to be kind to others. All of us in the village were deceived by his reliable and upright appearance. He killed my daughter and destroyed my daughter's reputation. He also wanted to accuse me, the old man!"

"Mr. Magistrate, I beg you to close the case soon and sentence him to death so that my daughter can die with peace of mind!" He was embarrassed and poor and did not strip away Ren Tao's literary character. Even if he kowtowed, shed tears, and every move made the unknown people feel pleasing to the eyes.

Seeing this, he felt a good impression of such a bookish old man, and he felt that he was really pitiful. He would be slandered after his child died. Therefore, everyone hated Wu Ruijiang even more.

"You still need to teach me how to do things in this county?" The literati temperament that the people sought after was just a fig leaf left by Ren Tao, who had nothing, was very sneering.

"I, Caomin dare not. Caomin just wants the evil people to be punished earlier." Ren Tao leaned on the ground in a more obedient manner as if he folded his waist.

In Xiao Chen Yuan's memory, Ren Tao, the former doctor of the Qing dynasty Department of the Fifth Rites Department, was a feudal old stubborn man who talked about the Three Bonds and Five Constant Demons. He had never given up his tight-knit face for anyone.

At this moment, Chen Yuan felt that the case might be more complicated than she thought at the beginning. Due to the limitation of intelligence, based on the autopsy results, she could only speculate that it was as if Wu Ruijiang had just explained it.

Now it seems that it may be more complicated, so it depends on whether the magistrate will follow the final analysis.

"Old man Ren, Xiuxiu committed suicide in order to retaliate against you and resist you. You, a father, have no conscience. Now that you are in a downturn, you want to sell your daughter. Xiuxiu has been pretending to be well-behaved and obedient in front of you, but she is not Wenzhu who was at your mercy at the time. When the news of Wenzhu's failure to enter the palace for a trial came out, you gave her as a gift when you changed hands..."

Before Wu Ruijiang finished speaking, the yamen runner finally seized the opportunity to pinch him and stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth.

The county magistrate Guan, who was eating melons and eating lively, couldn't help but wipe his sweat with his sleeves, and exiled to the officials' house as an interesting thing to listen to it. It's okay to pass the time. If it involves the matters of the palace, how dare he listen? "The case of Wu Ruijiang's cruel killing of Ren Xiuxiu will be retried tomorrow, and he will be taken down."

The case was directly judged, and the magistrate Guan was not that stupid yet. He made up his mind to consult with his colleagues in a while.

In order to avoid being secretly written by them in the future, he said that he had secretly guessed Wang Qi's intention to judge this case.

County Magistrate Guan threw down the gavel and ran away, leaving only a dark green afterimage. The small steps were so fast that people thought he had passed the martial arts juren.

The magistrate left, and the murderer was taken away. The people who were not busy watching felt that the trip was worth it and discussed the twists and turns of the case slowly ended.

"This village chief looked honest and reliable, but he didn't expect to be a beast."

"Dad, this is the hypocritical interpretation that Mr. taught yesterday."

"You have to tell your daughter when you get home. Don't go to the field after dinner. Who knows if there are such evil people in our village?"

The people in Dumin Village were ashamed to leave with this group of spectators, and they were still a little confused about the situation in the court today.

If you say that Wu Ruijiang was just a traitor, he didn't see the dog official who pleased Wang Qi punishing Wu Ruijiang for being severely punished. The only thing Wu Ruijiang didn't kneel down to ask for it.

That level of board is not as good as Chen's. Zhu's butts are more than slap in his butt. Even a literati would not surrender because of these few boards, let alone Wu Ruijiang is still a warrior.

"So, Wu Ruijiang really killed Ren Xiuxiu!"

"Then he said later that Ren Xiuxiu committed suicide?"

The woman in the village was in love with Chen and Zhu, and helped the two people who were beaten up to the point of being unconscious.

The village chief was arrested, and Dumin Village would not be a mess. They were all officials who had held important positions in the capital. They had organized banquets and managed the house, so of course they would not be helpless.

"Madam, take the ladies to find an inn to separate the two of them." Deng Peiming, who was once the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the third rank, successfully walked to Dumin Village with the largest official position and the highest prestige. If it weren't for his age and unwell, the villagers would like to be the village chief.

"I can't afford it." The jingle hairpin and cloth skirt could not hide the elegant temperament of a big woman. Time never defeated the beauty. Even though there were two or three white hairs on her hair, Shu's family was very conspicuous among these women.

"Li Rengui, Hu Tingfang, Liu Yong and Mengyan, you each find your own children and ask clearly the whole story of the case. This case... No matter what, we have to know it." Speaking of this, Deng Peiming did not forget to add a sentence to Li Rengui, "Better to children."

"Yes." Li Rengui was very disciplined in front of Deng Peiming.
