Chapter 104 There are fusu in the mountains and lotus flowers in the sky
"Chen Xin, you refuse to admit that you teamed up with Wu Zheng to defile and murder Wu's daughter. Why are you at the place where the incident occurred?"
When Jun Ci arrived at Jingzhao County, the case was already under trial. She entered through the side door and had to go around the back of the hall to reach the front of the interrogation hall. When she heard Han Feng's serious interrogation voice, she stopped.
I only heard Chen Xing's honest voice speaking clearly: "Replying to the envoy, today is the holiday of Wu Ban Master. Wu Ban Master has always been naughty. The general was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he sent me to follow him secretly. I saw that Wu Ban Master was following him.
A group of people entered the flower house. When they chased them to the flower house, they were stabbed unconscious with a magic needle. When they woke up, they were in Blacksmith Wu's house. The daughter of the Wu family had been killed, and the owner of Wu Mansion was still unconscious on one side.
I stepped forward to wake up the master of the Wu Building, and Blacksmith Wu happened to return home. He opened the door and saw that the two of us were disheveled and the Wu daughter was lying dead on the bed. He mistakenly thought that the two of us were the ones who raped the Wu daughter, so he wanted to
He killed the two of us, and while we were hiding, we attracted the guards next door, and then we were taken here with Blacksmith Wu."
"I have sent people to Hualou to check. The person in charge did say that you went to Hualou to look for Wu Zheng, but he said that he had never seen Wu Zheng. After that, you went to look for him on your own, and no one will testify for you." Han Feng said coldly.
He said, "You said someone stabbed you unconscious with a magic needle. Do you still remember who it was?"
Chen Xiao opened his mouth and carefully recalled that he was a woman. At that time, he finally found Wu Zheng, and his eyes were full of Wu Zheng. Two girls passed him by him, and immediately his shoulder felt a pain.
, he really couldn’t remember what this woman looked like.
"Your Majesty, I happened to see the leader of Wu Ban at that time. I just wanted to stop Wu Ban Master and passed by two women. Then I was plotted and fainted." Chen Xiao answered truthfully.
"Chen Xin! You entered the flower house at noon and left for Chengmi at a quarter of noon. Wu Zheng said that he had never stayed in the flower house. He entered the flower house at the end of the afternoon and heard from his companions that someone was following him, so he left the flower house at noon.
Lou, the reason why he remembered it was noon was because when he left, Hualou served tea at noon, and because he walked through the back door, he saw servants carrying tea into the main hall."
Han Feng's tone became more and more fierce: "But you said that you saw Wu Zheng a quarter of an hour later!"
"Therefore, someone is plotting against me and the leader of Wu Banner, please let me know clearly!" Chen Fu had a sullen face and looked upright.
"This is the result of the official taking Lao Li's concubine to examine the body of Wu's daughter." Han Feng held a piece of paper and stared at Chen Fu and Wu Zheng with cold eyes. He saw that one of the two's expressions did not change, and the other still remained expressionless until now.
Devastated, he read it out in front of them, "The officials concluded that Wu's daughter should have died at noon today. It was not two quarters from noon until Blacksmith Wu returned home. It was more than an hour, and neither of you had any witnesses!"
When Jun Ci heard this, he turned to the officer who was leading her and said, "Can I see the official and the concubine who is inspecting the body of Wu's daughter?"
The magistrates are the officials responsible for inspecting the corpses, while the concubines are the prisoners responsible for assisting the magistrates in examining the bodies. These prisoners did not make any mistakes themselves, but were all involved in the family and had some knowledge.
The imperial court gave these laborers some opportunities to atone for their sins, such as work such as examining corpses. After a certain number of years, they could get rid of slavery.
Wu's daughter is a woman and the official is a man. Naturally, she cannot insult the body of the deceased, so she can only find a concubine named Lao Li. If she is a man, she will be called Lao Lichen.
After listening to Jun Ci's words, the officer went to ask Han Feng for instructions, but Han Feng did not stop him. Jun Ci met the officials and Lao Li's concubine smoothly.
"The lower official (untouchable) pays homage to the general."
"Excuse me." Jun Ci raised his hand, "Let me ask you, is there anything strange in Blacksmith Wu's family?"
The two looked at each other cautiously, and the official asked in fear: "What is the strangeness that the general mentioned?"
"As a magistrate, you should have handled many similar cases. How is it different from usual?" Jun Ci asked.
After hearing this, the official thought carefully and said: "When the general said this, I felt that there were two differences. One was that the place where Wu's daughter died was wet, the water soaked the bedding, and the other was that Wu's daughter died.
My daughter’s body is extremely cold.”
Jun Ci's lips curled up when he heard this. She already knew the whole story. Yuan Duo wanted to use Wu Zheng to deal with her. He only let Wu Zheng go out. Even if Yuan Duo killed someone, he wouldn't be able to blame her.
On her head, Xiu Holiday was killed, and the Wu family couldn't hate her.
To have a relationship with her, she must have people, so she sent Chen Yong to protect Wu Zheng.
Naturally, Chen Fu is also a bait, and Yuan Duo will use it to implicate her. Yuan Duo is not an easy person to deal with. Once he takes action, it will be difficult for Chen Fu to escape his trap. Jun Ci also sent Xiao Liu to follow him secretly.
Chen Xin.
Wu's daughter had died long ago. She died unexpectedly before Chen Fu and Wu Zheng were plotted against each other. Xiao Liu told her everything. Chen Fu and Wu Zheng were taken to Wu Tiejiang's home. Soon they moved to Wu's house.
The girl is back.
The officials of this dynasty are all well-informed people. We cannot accurately estimate when the body died, but they can still tell the truth. But when it comes to framing Wu Zheng and Chen Fu, there may be a difference of one or two hours.
To mislead the officials into judging the wrong time of death based on the corpse's reaction, there was only one way to hide the corpse in an ice room.
It's a scorching summer, and only wealthy families can use icehouses! Ordinary wealthy households may not have one, let alone an icehouse for hiding corpses!
After the official finished speaking, he came back to his senses. He suddenly understood and his eyes were full of anxiety.
He knew that Wu's daughter did not die at the time he predicted, and that the real murderer involved someone who could afford the ice room!
"You don't need me to remind you what you want to say to Han Shijun?" Jun Ci looked at the official indifferently.
Since the magistrate has been sent to take charge of this matter, he naturally knows the origins of Wu Zheng and Chen Xin. Jun Ci has also been to the prefect's mansion. How dare he fool him: "I'll go there now..."
When the officials retreated, Jun Ci was about to take steps when a voice stopped her: "General!"
Jun Ci stopped and looked sideways at Lao Li's concubine, who had her head lowered all the time. This Lao Li's concubine was very thin. She raised her head to reveal a beautiful and clear face. Although there were some stains and her complexion was sallow, she still could not hide her beauty.
Her beautiful, extremely calm almond-shaped eyes revealed a hard-to-see vicissitudes of life: "General, Wu's daughter has flesh between her nails. The person who defiled her must have been scratched by her."
With a heroic slender eyebrow raised, Jun Ci carefully looked at the concubine in front of him: "What's your name?"
"Untouchable Lu Hehua."
"There are Fusu in the mountains and lotus flowers in the sky." Jun Ci nodded and left.
Lu Hehua's words were indeed helpful to her, and she would reward him or give him what he needed as appropriate.
When Jun Ci arrived at the main hall, it was extremely quiet.
