(Third update, I am very tired, please recommend blood replenishment...)

When Hu Captou returned to the Yamen to resume his duties, it was already the end of the Shenshi period, and Wei Magistrate was still waiting anxiously. Knowing that they were about to succeed, the county magistrate was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to arrest Zhao Meiniang's father and brother.
By the time the suspect arrived, it was already dark. However, Magistrate Wei did not waste a moment and ordered someone to light a lamp. He wanted to interrogate this complicated and mysterious case behind closed doors at night!
This lightning-fast action was really dazzling. After hearing the news, the people in the county came and looked through the gate into the lobby, watching the county magistrate to see how he judged the case!
‘Dong dong dong…’ The drum sounded in the hall.
"Mighty..." Two rows of soap slaves pounded the floor tiles with fire sticks, and the sound made the scalp numb.
With a slap on the gavel tree, Wei Zhixian shouted: "The person kneeling here is Zhao Meiniang!"
"People's daughter Zhang Linghua." The beautiful woman with pale face replied in a trembling voice.
"You still dare to quibble now!" Wei Zhixian said coldly: "Since you are not Zhao Meiniang, why are you hiding in the tunnel? Why are you so shameless?!"
"This..." The beautiful woman had been frightened by the power in the hall, and was trembling and speechless.
"What kind of heart is this woman like you made of!" Wei Zhixian continued to exert his strength: "You absconded privately and caused your husband's family to be ruined. Now he is about to be executed, don't you feel a little guilty?!"
"What?" The beautiful woman was astonished when she heard the words, and said in surprise: "It was me who ran away, not him. How could he be asked to behead?"
"Now you admit that you are Zhao Meiniang?" Wei Zhixian snorted.
"Yes, I am Zhao Meiniang." The beautiful woman finally nodded and said: "But I didn't harm my husband. He beat me and scolded me, and even went to the government to accuse me of donating money and absconding with an adulterer. I was afraid of being caught by the government and had to ride a wooden donkey.
, that’s why I hid it in He Yuan’s wife’s house, but I never harmed anyone from the beginning to the end…”
"I want you to see someone." Wei Zhixian said coldly: "Bring him here."
So two jailers helped the tortured Lin Rongxing to the hall. Lin Xiucai, who used to be a beautiful tree in the wind, is now as skinny as a stick, covered with injuries, with messy hair hanging straight to his chest. He is neither human nor ghost, which scares Zhao Meiniang.
Jumping, the body moved back involuntarily.
"Take a closer look at who he is?" Wei Zhixian stopped her and ordered.
Zhao Meiniang finally calmed down and looked at him for a long time with her eyes wide open before she recognized him as her husband Lin Rongxing. She screamed, hugged him and burst into tears, asking heartbreakingly: "How could this happen?
, why is it like this?”
Lin Xiucai looked blank and didn't even look at her.
Even the hard-hearted subordinates could not help but be moved by this situation. Some secretly sighed and others shed tears...
Wei Zhixian suppressed his mood and said in shock: "Zhao Lin, why don't you tell the truth about what happened!"
Naturally, Zhao Meiniang would not hide anything at this moment, she sobbed and confessed everything...
It turned out that the night before she disappeared two years ago, Lin Xiucai invited his classmates to drink at home. Zhao Meiniang drank a few drinks with her, and then she got carried away and started to get carried away. Lin Xiucai was so angry that after the dinner ended, he started scolding her.
Zhao Meiniang never tolerated his tactics, so she started to quarrel with him and then started to fight. It was only when her father-in-law and sister-in-law heard the noise and pulled them apart that it ended.
The more Zhao Meiniang thought about it, the angrier she became. She packed up her bags and went out early the next morning. Because she had a history of returning to her parents' home after a quarrel, the Lin family didn't care.
But on her way home, Zhao Meiniang met a classmate of Lin Xiucai. The man was called Feng Nian, and he was tall and elegant. The two had been flirting with each other for a long time, and they had long wanted to make a quarrel. Now that he saw her resentful and lonely, Feng Xiucai would not let her go.
He took the opportunity to show his attentiveness and invited her to his home.
Zhao Meiniang was originally a lively woman, and she also had a crush on the handsome, funny, gentle Feng Xiucai. She felt that he was a hundred times better than her papal-minded husband. So she half-heartedly followed him to live at Feng Nian's house.
Down.
What she was thinking at the time was that she would go back to her husband's house after having fun for a while. Who knew that after the two of them hooked up and became an adulterer, they became inseparable and could not miss Shu for half a month. Half a month later, Feng Xiucai said that he would send her back to her parents' house, but she ended up using
The sedan took her to He's house.
When she arrived at He's house, Feng Xiucai disappeared. What she saw was Yuanwai He and her father.
The two told her that Lin Rongxing had reported to the government that she and her adulterer had absconded with money, and that the county was now offering a reward for her capture. As soon as she showed up, she would be arrested, paraded through the streets on a wooden donkey, and then executed by Lingchi.
Zhao Meiniang believed it and was so frightened that she was covered in chaff and asked what should she do?
He Yuanwai then smiled and said, "You can live in my house peacefully and don't show your face. Who can find you?"
Her father also said, yes, He Yuanwai has a deep house and compound here, which is far away from the county seat. It is very safe, so you can live with peace of mind.
Although she felt that it was too boring to go out, her life was still at stake, so Zhao Meiniang agreed. Soon, she fell into He Yuanwai's gentle offensive, completely gave up the thought of going home, and started working on the golden bird...
After her confession was completed and her signature was signed, Magistrate Wei ordered her father to be brought here.
Seeing that Zhao Meiniang had confessed and her father had nothing to hide, he confessed that at that time he thought his daughter had been beaten to death by the Lin family, and out of grief and anger, he sued his son-in-law for the murder. Not long after, Feng Xiucai came to confess, saying that Meiniang was not dead.
But in his place.
When he heard that his daughter was still alive, Mr. Zhao was happy and scared at the same time. Needless to say, he was happy, but he was also afraid that he would rebel because of the false accusation, and would be offended by two levels.
When he was in a dilemma, his old friend He Yuanwai came to visit and took the initiative to ask about Meiniang. Old man Zhao knew that He Yuanwai was knowledgeable and attentive, so he couldn't help but tell him the truth.
After hearing this, Yuan He said, you are right not to go to the government to confess, otherwise you will have to sit down and lose your head. He Chang is a dignified grain manager, so his words are naturally credible. This frightened old man Zhao.
I asked Mr. He to come up with a solution.
He Yuanwai thought about it and said that in this case, let Meiniang live with me first. You still think she is dead and continue to sue. Old man Zhao thought that this was the only way, so he asked Feng Xiucai to send his daughter to He.
Yuanwaijia...
More than a month passed like this, and the female body appeared. The government notified the Zhao family to identify the body. Old Zhao quickly informed his son-in-law to make up his mind. He Yuanwai asked them to insist that the deceased was Zhao Meiniang, and that was how the scene at the autopsy scene happened.
!
But Chen Zhixian finally determined that the deceased was not Zhao Meiniang, so Mr. Zhao had no choice but to give up.
Just when Mr. Zhao thought that the matter was going to be over safely, the Western Zhejiang Inspection Team came to the county to review the unjust imprisonment. Officer He encouraged him to file a lawsuit with the government officials from all over Fuyang County.
Of course, Father Zhao did not dare. Yuanwai He promised that as long as you sue, you will definitely win and there will be no future troubles. Father Zhao still did not dare, Yuanwai He threatened to send Zhao Meiniang back to the Lin family, so he had no choice but to give in...
…
As a result, he really won the case. Not only did he commit the crime, but he also brought down the officials in Fuyang County.
Later, he heard that Wang Xingshu's son asked someone to write a petition to reverse the case, so he quickly notified He Yuanwai. Because Wang Xian was a gambler and a prodigal, and Fuyang was in a period of chaos without a county magistrate, He Yuanwai simply sent
Several people beat him to death near the casino...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The son of Mr. Zhao was interrogated again, and he gave the same confession. At this point, the case was almost clear, but there was one thing Wei Zhixian didn't understand. He asked the two of them: "Why do you listen to He Chang's words so much? I'm afraid it's not just my daughter who is in his hands."
.”
The two of them murmured and did not dare to answer. Only under the magistrate of Wei County, San Mu, revealed his true feelings: He Yuanwai was not only the grain chief, but also a member of the Jinyiwei family!
Wei Zhixian's heart trembled, and he said to Li Xingshu, who was in charge of recording: "Erase this paragraph."
Li Xingshu nodded. In fact, he didn't dare to remember these three words at all.
Because the reputation of the Jinyiwei was so fierce, under the leadership of the commander Ji Gang, they became lawless and killed innocent people indiscriminately. In their eyes, all princes, nobles, and court officials were as worthless as they were. They only needed to be titled Jianwen
The title of the remnant can kill his whole family!
This is a group of ferocious gods who ignore the king's laws. Even a small hundred households cannot afford to offend Weizhi County!
In the room, Hu Captou was frightened when he heard this. No wonder that guy spoke so loudly. It turned out that he had the support of Jin Yiwei!
By the time He Chang was arraigned, Wei Zhixian's aura was much weaker...
He Chang has also regained his composure. He is the hereditary grain chief. He is equal to the officials and is not subject to torture. Moreover, this title can only be taken away by reporting to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The state and county have no right to take it away. So he is sitting on the throne.
Go back to the question from the magistrate of Wei County.
Weizhixian asked him why he wanted to hide Zhao Meiniang, and he said he was doing a favor for his friends.
County Magistrate Wei asked him why he instigated the Zhao family to identify the body, and he said it was to do a favor for his friends.
County Magistrate Wei asked him why he forced the Zhao family to file a complaint. He said he was doing a favor for his friends...
The county magistrate of Wei asked him why he sent people to murder Wang Xian. He said it was to do a favor for a friend...
Wei Zhixian is a clay figure with a certain earthy temperament. He couldn't help but sarcastically asked, "Is it because you hide your beauty in a golden house just to help your friends?"
"Yes." He Chang nodded. He was simply the most warm-hearted person in the world.
"Then why did you run away? Are you planning to kill someone?" Wei Zhixian said coldly.
"Didn't I escape?" He Chang said shamelessly: "At that time, I wanted to cut the Wang Er who falsely accused me into pieces, but thinking that it was against the law, I stopped. Otherwise, he is a useless person, and he can kill me.
Kicked down?"
Wei Zhixian had no choice but to order him to be detained temporarily. He Chang said: "Your Majesty, according to Lord Hongwu's regulations, the grain chief can pay the money and be exempted from prison. Please help me calculate. I have to pay for these crimes in total."
How much is the fine?" After saying that, Shi Shiran left the hall.
A very impressive interrogation ended in such an anticlimactic manner. Back in the back hall, Wei Zhixian was extremely sad. Could it be that he was really a useless scholar and he had screwed up again?
Master Sima comforted him and said, "You don't have to be like this, Dong Weng. We have succeeded, so why should we blame you for everything?"
