Fang didn't dare to face Li Xiuyuan. Even when he was questioned in public, his eyes averted, his voice trembled, and he looked panicked.
Anyone would be suspicious of such a gesture, especially since Li Xiuyuan was still asking questions about the murderer of Fang Shengyu.
"Could it be that the murderer is Mrs. Fang?" Those who had the courage to look outside the door couldn't help but guess this.
And the more I look at it, the more suspicious it becomes.
If this is the case, it would be a huge event.
"Sir, sir, can you allow me to speak to you alone for a few words? Please, let your subordinates stay away for a while." Fang, who didn't know how to respond, was vague and hesitant.
one sentence,
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "You are the host and I am the guest. Give my wife some face. You go out and stay away for a while."
"Yes, sir." Cui Wei took the order and immediately left the house with his subordinates, then stopped the onlookers and closed the door.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Tell me, did Fang Shengyu die at the hands of the madam, or at the hands of a certain woman? In fact, it is not difficult for me to find out if I want to find out at this point, but it is not convenient for the madam to do it in front of everyone.
I just want to save some face for Madam, so as not to say that I am an unkind guest.
I really don’t leave any room for mercy or room.”
"Thank you for your understanding, but I would like to ask you to give me a way to survive." At this moment, Mrs. Fang no longer had the arrogant posture she had in Xiangguo Temple. She was now trembling with fear, crying constantly, and begging hard.
"Ma'am, are you telling me that you killed me?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Mrs. Fang hurriedly defended: "No, I didn't kill him. My lord, you are the official responsible for investigating the case. Now everyone in the yamen thinks it was the demon from Wutong Sect. Why don't you give up the investigation and blame the incident on
On the head of the Wutong Sect, if you are willing to agree, I have some points here.
I hope you will accept the small gift."
After saying that, she hurriedly took out a small box, opened it and saw that it was full of jewelry, which was very valuable.
Li Xiuyuan took a look and said: "Madam, are you bribing me? It's a pity that I lack everything except money. Madam, you should put it aside. Since it was not madam who killed her, then the murderer must be around Fang Shengyu."
I'm a person, but looking at Madam's attitude, I guess it has something to do with it, I'm afraid
He is also involved, even if he is not the mastermind, he is also an accomplice."
"This makes things simple. Please ask Madam to accompany me to the Yamen."
As soon as the words were spoken, Mrs. Fang knelt down on the ground with a thud, grabbed Li Xiuyuan's sleeves, cried and begged: "Sir, please spare me for once. I have parents to serve.
There are two children to raise. What will they do if the concubine is caught?
I beg you, as long as you are willing to turn over my concubine this time, I will promise you anything. If you want money, as long as the house can get it, I will give it to you, sir."
"Madam, it will be very difficult for me if you do this." Li Xiuyuan frowned: "It's as if I want your Fang family to be destroyed. I'm just here to solve the case and investigate. Madam neither wants to tell the murderer, nor does she want to tell the truth."
Are you willing to take the blame and still want to be merciful outside the law? How can there be such a good thing in this world?
Madam, you are not responsible for this matter in the court."
"Moreover, Madam, you are making such a fuss, making it seem like I am deliberately making things difficult for you, an orphan and a widowed mother. In fact, Fang Shengyu's dead Madam knows all about it."
"I know, I understand." Mrs. Fang sobbed with tears: "But I have no other choice now. I have surrendered. What should I do at home? How should my parents treat me?"
"If I had known this, why should this be all that Madam should say in the first place, right? Then I am not worthy of Madam chatting here. After today's funeral, I asked Madam to come to the Yamen to surrender. I will handle it impartially. I won't
To add one more crime to Madam, of course if Madam is willing to say it now
If it's the murderer, I can reduce the crime to Madam at my discretion," Li Xiuyuan said.
Fang didn't change her character, she held on to Li Xiuyuan's sleeve, raised her head and sobbed: "My lord, what do you think? I think I still have some charm, if you like me, I am willing to attach myself to you."
, as long as your Excellency puts this case on the Wutong Sect, if you are free in the future,
When you pass by your house, I will definitely entertain you well and not let you down."
After saying this, he showed a somewhat pitiful gesture.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at her calmly. Although this woman was disgusting, she was still pretty. After all, she was the wife of the prefect. Even Master Fang would not like her if she was not pretty.
At this moment, Ms. Fang was wearing a white mourning dress. She no longer had the arrogant and fierce look before. She only had a pitiful posture of fear and fear. In addition, her husband had just died and she had no support in her heart. It made me feel pity for her. And the mature woman's figure was also...
Outlined clearly.
No matter how you look at her, she is a beautiful and helpless woman.
And the helpless expression revealed in those eyes seemed that as long as Li Xiuyuan nodded, this beautiful woman would obediently obey any of his instructions.
A feeling that life, death, and control were all in my own hands came over me.
At this moment, as long as anyone has any interest in wealth and sex, they will go with the flow and don't mind selling their favors, and they can get both wealth and sex without paying anything.
However, what Li Xiuyuan saw at this moment was not her beauty, but a kind of sadness and pity.
He squatted down, looked at Fang and said: "If I go out like this now, my wife will be ruined. Both her reputation and her family will be ruined. But my wife can protect her reputation and her family."
After making such a sacrifice, wouldn't he be willing to tell who the murderer is? And the murderer
If I want to check it, it won’t take me a day.”
"Ma'am, do you still want to insist?"
Mrs. Fang lowered her head and sobbed: "This, this is what Xi'er did. He accidentally killed her husband."
"Which Xi'er?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"The maid my husband bought on the Lantern Festival." Fang said.
Li Xiuyuan said, "Oh, it's him? But the one named Xi'er was a man disguised as a woman and was a fake. I was there at the time and many people wanted to buy him. In the end, Mr. Fang bought him. Where is he now?"
"Yes, in the backyard." Fang said.
"That's right, the murderer has been arrested, so I can make a decision, but why did the wife of the person he killed hide it for him?" Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes: "This maid was only bought for a few days, and the relationship between him and the wife is still there.
It’s not that profound.”
Mrs. Fang lowered his head and shed tears, but said nothing.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Unless Madam has an affair with him?"
