A sack "came to the hall" without any warning. What was in the sack was clear to everyone without even looking at it, because the disgusting smell of corpses already explained everything.
What is even more disturbing is that the strange images before and after all say that the hall is really "haunted".
Therefore, as soon as the sack appeared, even Qian Laoer, who was kneeling beside Zhufeng, was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He closed his eyes subconsciously and hugged Zhufeng's legs. As for the others, they screamed and hugged each other.
A ball.
Su Zhen had never seen such a scene, and he didn't care about his dignity. He shouted and hid behind Wei Pingxiao. Wei Pingxiao was even more unexpected, but even though he tried his best to hold back the fear, his pupils were still tightened and his whole body
Stiff and unable to move.
As for He Mengyou, He Zhi, and He Yijiu, He Yijiu had long lost his mind; He Zhi was kneeling on the ground motionless, with his head on the ground, muttering silently "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner";
Although He Mengyou had always been arrogant before, the moment he saw the sack, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground along with the tiger bench. His eyes were rounded with fear, and his two bright red eyes seemed to be ready at any time.
squeezed out from the eye socket.
The hall was already in chaos, but the sack, as if it was conscious, suddenly "floated" to He Mengyou, and then suddenly approached, a rotten eyeball exuding a foul smell came out from the torn parts of the sack.
In the cave, he stared at He Mengyou.
He Mengyou was so frightened that his body could no longer bear it. He rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.
He Zhi felt the cold air above his head, and he could not care about his master. He was so frightened that he read loudly: "You have the wrongdoer, and the debtor has the owner, and I did not harm you; you have the wrongdoer, and the debtor has the owner, and I did not harm you...
"
After Wei Pingxiao was frightened, he calmed down a little. He looked at Zhufeng and said rather bitterly: "Sir, what on earth is going on?"
Zhufeng cupped his hands and said, "Sir, this should be the body of the deceased Miao'er. Since the body came to the hall on its own, why don't you send a coroner to do an autopsy."
The yamen servant near the door shouted outside with a trembling voice. Soon the door opened again, and a man carrying a wooden box entered the hall. Then the door slammed shut again, startling the man.
Wu Zuo obviously didn't know what was going on, but when he entered the hall, he saw that everyone was terrified and the hall was in a mess. Especially the smell of the corpse was pungent, which made Wu Zuo panic in his heart.
Wei Pingxiao pointed at the sack and urged: "Hurry up and do the autopsy."
Wu Zuo was used to seeing corpses and didn't know what had happened before. When he heard that an autopsy was going to be conducted, he was naturally much bolder. He walked over and cut open the sack to reveal the rotting corpse inside.
After Wu Zuo carefully inspected it, he told Wei Ping Xiao: "Sir, this is a woman, aged between twenty and twenty-five, six feet two inches tall.
This girl had been hit hard before. Her head had three bone fractures, her ribs were broken in four places, her spine was broken, her nose was broken, and her jaw was dislocated. Her pelvic bone was sunken, but it was healing, so it was probably an old injury before her death.
In addition, there was a stillborn fetus in her belly that was more than two months old. This woman was beaten to death, leaving one dead and two dead."
As soon as the words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Li Sheng's wife couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "One corpse kills two people, and the tiger's poison does not eat its seeds. Is this still a human being?"
Mrs. Pu had already guessed what was going on, and was stunned and couldn't believe it: "Is this Miao'er? Isn't she an aunt in the He family? How could she end up like this?"
Shu Zuo has already recorded Wu Zuo's confession and presented it to Wei Pingxiao.
Wei Pingxiao's face darkened, he sat down again, and then he was stunned and asked He Zhidao: "He Zhi, now that the witnesses and material evidence are all there, you still haven't recruited them from the ground up."
How could He Zhi dare to conceal anything? Even if he had to bear the guilt of being a seller, he could only confess honestly, "Sir, the deceased did live in the fifth house in Jiuquli during his lifetime. It was the girl Miao'er that the young master brought back from Chunmanlou.
.
Because of her low status, the eldest young master placed Miss Miao'er in an outer house and did not take her back to his home.
Neither the young man nor the He family knew about this matter. It wasn't until something happened and the young man was sent to deal with the house that he found out that the eldest young master had beaten someone to death.
The younger one was just a domestic servant, and he did whatever the master told him, so the matter was covered up. After that, the house started to be haunted, and the eldest young master asked He Yijiu to sell the house."
Wei Pingxiao ordered the Yamen servant again: "Pour him awake."
Soon a yamen servant brought a basin of water to the court, and then splashed it on He Mengyou's face. He Mengyou was completely awakened. When he woke up, he didn't realize the situation, and cursed angrily: "Which dog slave dares to
Splash the young master with water."
Two government officials immediately came forward and held him down.
He Mengyou struggled hard for a few moments, and then gradually woke up. Remembering his current situation, he quickly knelt down in panic and said filial piety to Wei Ping: "My lord, please forgive me. The common people have lost their minds and gone crazy. Please forgive me."
Wei Pingxiao looked at him with hatred and said sternly: "He Mengyou, you killed two people with one body, and there are all the witnesses and physical evidence. Do you know your guilt?"
He Mengyou looked panicked and subconsciously shook his head in denial: "Sir, common people don't know where crime comes from."
Wei Pingxiao said angrily: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, the body is also placed in the hall, and you still dare to quibble. It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Someone comes and the execution is carried out."
He Mengyou was still tied to the tiger bench. Seeing two government officials coming to lift the tiger bench, he thought of Shicai's pain and was so frightened that he immediately admitted, "Sir, Cao Minzhao. Yes, Cao Min accidentally beat her to death, but it was also her fault."
, she repeatedly angered the common people, who just wanted to teach her a small lesson.
Sir, she is just a prostitute, and she will die as soon as she dies. Do you want to punish the sins of the common people because of a lowly prostitute?"
Wei Pingxiao snorted, "You killed two people. This is an indisputable fact. What's more, before that, this woman had become a good person. What you killed was a good citizen, and you should be beheaded."
He Mengyou was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be sentenced to beheading for being a bitch. He said angrily: "Sir, Cao Min is the eldest grandson of the He family."
Although He Zhi was frightened, when he heard He Mengyou's words, he sighed in despair and didn't want to say a word. Even though the He family was rich, it was just a family of merchants. How could it compete with the government? This was like going to the edge of a knife.
Hitting.
Wei Pingxiao even said sternly: "The He family is guilty of covering up by allowing their eldest grandson to kill someone. Come on, hurry up and arrest He Wanming."
He Mengyou just woke up at this time. He was so angry just now that he forgot who he was.
He quickly repented and said: "Sir, the common people made a mistake. The common people were frightened and confused. Sir, the common people did not kill anyone. The common people were wrong. The common people knew they were wrong. I beg you to spare your life."
However, Wei Pingxiao had already shouted "Retreat at halftime", and everyone else in the hall, except He Mengyou, He Zhi and He Yijiu, were all taken to the witness room to wait for further questioning.
Zhufeng stepped forward at this time, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. Please allow me to leave first."
Wei Pingxiao thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then returned to the inner hall with Su Zhen.
