Cold sweat broke out on Mr. Xu San's forehead. Before he could recover, his arms were forcibly pressed behind him. His body involuntarily bowed forward, as if he was confessing, and the fog in front of his eyes finally dispersed.
, I saw a man sitting on the ground hugging his legs tightly, where was Mrs. Zhang.
Zhou Yue looked aggrieved. He was a famous general, and now he hugged a man's leg and hugged him in such a humiliating manner. Madam Chang asked him to do this, but he had no choice but to step forward.
Zhou Yue glanced pitifully at Mrs. Chang beside her, who nodded, and he had no choice but to rub his forehead on Mr. Xu San's leg, exposing the soft back of his neck.
Then a finger touched his neck and shoulders.
Zhou Yue couldn't help but shudder.
Mrs. Chang's hands were so cold that the hairs on his body stood up.
"Most of Xu Zhang's wounds were on her neck and back. Although many years later, Xu Zhang's body has decomposed, but the incisions left by sharp blades can still be found on her bones, clavicle, two back blades, and spine.
, there are fatal marks on the back of the head.”
Mrs. Chang said that her hands were like the blade of a knife and she put them on Zhou Yue's chin. She slid her palms and felt as soft as silk brushing her face. Zhou Yue held her breath nervously and swallowed involuntarily.
"The scar on Xu Zhang's clavicle was stabbed along this point, cutting half of her neck. She had no life left at that time."
Mr. Zhang’s eyes began to turn red.
Mrs. Chang continued: "After examining Xu Zhang's bones, we can still see that her arms, chest, and ten finger bones are all broken, and there are cracks on the head and leg bones, which should be caused by heavy blows."
After Mrs. Chang finished speaking, she stood aside.
Wu Zuo also handed over the autopsy documents to Wang Yun: "The rebels mostly used knives, guns, halberds and other objects. The bones left on Xu Zhang's bones should be sword marks."
Xu Qinghuan said: "There were many casualties in the battle of Fengxiang ten years ago. Many civilians died at the hands of the rebels, but the circumstances of their deaths were very different from those of Third Aunt. The places where Third Aunt was injured were even more questionable. Only by hugging her tightly like this
It takes a person to have such a wound.
When meeting the rebels, the female family member will naturally run away for her life. Who will let her hold her tightly? Coincidentally, Mr. Xu San’s leg was injured at that time. The third master’s leg injury has obviously healed over the years, but he still cannot act like a normal person.
Moving around like this is not only to show weakness in front of others and better hide himself, but also because he has inner demons at work...because he killed his wife with his own hands."
Xu Qinghuan looked at Zhou Yue, who then stood up and left.
However, Mr. Xu San still stood there frozen, and the leg that had been hugged by Mrs. Zhang kept shaking.
They had already seen Master Xu San's appearance when Zhou Yue hugged Master Xu San's injured leg. Only people with a guilty conscience would behave like this. It was obvious that Miss Xu's inference was correct.
Some people in the Zhang family have begun to cry. The scene of identifying the corpse is still vivid in their minds. They still remember the tragic situation of their sister. At that time, they thought it was the work of the rebels. Mr. Zhang was afraid that Xu San couldn't bear it, so he brought wine to comfort him.
Xu San: "You have to live well so that Su Niang can feel at ease.
After the injury on your leg is healed, and you can live a good life with a stepmother, you can rest assured... neither Su Niang nor the Zhang family will blame you."
Little did he know that the person in front of him was the person who killed his sister.
How did my sister feel at that time?
Master Zhang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he took a few steps forward and punched Master Xu San.
Xu Qing'an had already let go of Master Xu San's arm. In front of the angry Zhang family, Master Xu San had no chance to fight back.
This call was too late.
It's better to be late than never.
Although it couldn't save Su Niang's life, it could at least give Xu San a taste of pain.
"How can you bear it, she is your wife!"
Mr. Xu San vomited blood and was trampled under his feet, but his insignificant pain was not enough to calm the Zhang family's anger.
Even if he dies miserably, he can't exchange for Su Niang's life.
"Okay," Mr. Wang Yun ordered Zhang's family to be pulled away, "there is no need to act recklessly in court."
"Sir, please make the decision for Su Niang." The Zhang family members all knelt down and kowtowed.
Wang Yundao: "I will give you justice."
"So what?" Mr. Xu San came to his senses after a while. He spit out two knocked out teeth and raised his head hard. His face seemed to be as calm as before, but his eyes couldn't help but become a little distracted.
, "If you doubt me, you can torture me. I won't admit anything."
"Is this how you can show your loyalty to him?" Xu Qinghuan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Master Xu San's chest. "I have said long ago that the person behind you has abandoned you long ago, because in his eyes you are
You are nothing, you lose again and again, you lose nothing, there is no value. When he thinks of you, there is only disgust in his heart.
Do you think that committing these crimes will make more people talk about you, and those who are dissatisfied with the court will even admire you. As long as you don't admit it, the court will spend a lot of time on you. You like this kind of attention.
a feeling of.
Your biggest fear is to be left in a dark corner and ignored."
Mr. Xu San seemed to be frozen. Before he could recover, his whole body was suddenly lifted up by someone, and then his entire upper body was wrapped in cloth. He was like a pupa wrapped around himself.
, unable to move at all, he could only open his mouth wide and keep breathing. Then he felt his leg sinking, and a heavy object was tied to the injured leg.
After finishing everything, Sun Chong let go of his hand, and Mr. Xu San immediately staggered and fell to the ground.
"Is Third Uncle comfortable like this?" Xu Qinghuan lowered his eyes and looked at him, "I assure you, you have left enough flaws and evidence. Even if you don't say anything, the court will still convict you. You can only
Lingering in a corner... I don't know when I will be executed... But even if I die, I will die quietly, just like your whole life, not worth mentioning.
I almost forgot to tell you that Third Aunt is still waiting for you. After you die, she will definitely take good care of you.
You will never find peace in life or death."
Mr. Xu San finally had a panicked look on his face: "You can't do this... you... you want to interrogate me... you want to come and beg me to tell the truth, beg me to confess, you... you are a poisonous woman...
"
Xu Qinghuan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, turned around and walked aside.
Cold sweat fell from Mr. Xu San's forehead, and bursts of pain came from his injured leg, as if insects and ants were biting him. His heart was gradually swallowed by fear.
"No wonder I... no... no wonder I... who told her to hold me and not let me go? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost the tax money." Mr. Xu San's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, "Don't you want to
Do you know? I will tell you everything."
Xu Qinghuan stopped and turned around: "When you went out to look for the body of Third Aunt, you were actually looking for the tax money!"
Mr. Xu San said: "All the rebels who escorted the tax money were dead. I thought the tax money was discovered and taken away by the court. Later I found out that no one found the money at all. After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, it must be the rebels.
In panic, I hid the money. Unfortunately, they were all killed by the officers and soldiers before they could tell me.
I searched everywhere in Fengxiang for the whereabouts of Yinzi, and finally suspected the Cao family, because the rebels who escorted Yinzi were killed near the Cao family."
After saying this, Mr. Xu San looked at Mrs. Cao: "I am a bad person, and the Cao family are good people. If they find the money, they will report it to the government, and nothing will happen later."
Mrs. Cao's face was as golden as paper and she closed her eyes with regret.
"And him," Mr. Xu San said with a strange smile, "My good second brother, don't you just want the title of Marquis of Anyi? You have thought about it for so long but didn't dare to reach out. My brother, here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you.
good chance."
Mr. Xu San's expression suddenly changed to one of disgust: "It's a pity that you failed to live up to expectations and didn't dare to kill anyone. I had no choice but to lead the stone to the mountain to make it easier for you. For this reason, you are still timid, so I will do it for you."
You killed that woman, but you didn't know how to seize the opportunity, so I asked the people I arranged to kill the Cao family and put the blame on the Zhao Cao family, and then the Cao family became chaotic."
Zhao Cao finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Where are the stones? Where did you take the stones?"
Mr. Xu San laughed and looked at Xu Qinghuan: "Let me go and I will tell you the whereabouts of the stone."
Xu Qinghuan said calmly: "I already know everything."
The blood on Mr. Xu San's face completely faded, and he twisted desperately: "This is not... fair... I said... you have to let go..."
Xu Qinghuan raised her lips: "I didn't promise you."
The officer stepped forward and dragged Mr. Xu San.
Mr. Xu San stared at Xu Qinghuan bitterly: "Anyone who opposes him will not survive, and you will come down soon... maybe... you will die faster than me..."
The lobby gradually became quiet.
Wang Yun stood up: "All relevant persons will be sent to the prison to await trial," he said, looking at Xu Qinghuan worriedly, "come with me."
…
Wang Yun stood in the room.
Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingan entered the door first, followed by Li Xu and Zhou Yue.
"Qing Huan," Wang Yundao said, "you really know the whereabouts of the stone."
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "I just had doubts before, but now... I know."
Wang Yun sighed: "This case involves so many people. You must want to know who is behind Xu San. This is why I called you here today."
