Chapter 100 Corruption case

"What's connected again?" Chu Xiaoyun asked suspiciously.

"Do you still remember Hou Sihai, the owner of the Four Seas Bookstore?" Yu He's voice was a little excited.

Chu Xiaoyun was quite surprised: "Of course, how long has this happened, what is the relationship between them?"

"Wang Yu's concubine's natal family and Hou Sihai's family are neighbors, and they belong to the same family." Yu He shook his head and said, "You can't think of it?"

Chu Xiaoyun suddenly remembered that Wang Yu's other concubine was also surnamed Hou.

"Therefore, there are conditions for Hou Yuqing to use barbarian witchcraft to murder Yi Ruzhen." Yu He continued proudly.

Chu Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat: "Did Hou Yuqing confess?"

"No." Hearing Chu Xiaoyun's question, the smug look on Yu He's face faded, "She refused to admit it, saying that the two of them were just childhood playmates, and that Hou Yunfang never saw each other again after going out for a living. But now that Hou Yunfang has absconded, we can't arrest anyone to confront him."

Chu Xiaoyun's face became serious when he heard the words, as he always did when he was thinking about the case.

"Where are people?" Chu Xiaoyun asked after thinking about it.

"Who?" Yu He was still immersed in his depression, and couldn't understand what Chu Xiaoyun meant for a while.

"That little concubine of the Wang family, won't you let me go back?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

Yu He was shocked when he heard the words, and began to be proud again: "How is it possible. I took advantage of the wife of the Wang family and the concubine to bite each other, and I couldn't determine who was the real murderer, so I took both of them into custody. Now they are in the county government office. In prison."

"Very good, this cuts off their chance to confess." Chu Xiaoyun smiled slightly, and then said in confusion, "You can't arrest Hou Yunfang to confront her, but isn't Hou Sihai in prison? Why don't you Go ask him?"

"How could I not have asked." Yu He's voice was a little frustrated, "But Hou Sihai said he didn't know anything. He also yelled that his crime has been sentenced, what the hell."

Chu Xiaoyun asked, "Why did you ask?"

"Let him tell the truth." Yu He was a little confused, "How else can I ask."

Chu Xiaoyun shook his head: "If you ask him this way, he definitely won't say it. As he said, his case has already been judged, and cooperating with the government to 'harm' his sister will definitely not do such a loss-making business."

"Then?" Yu He scratched his head and looked at Chu Xiaoyun suspiciously.

"My lord, if he can provide useful clues or testimonies, or have any evidence, he will be given a reduced sentence." Chu Xiaoyun said, "Hou Yunfang went back to Hejing County to visit his relatives. Has Hou Yuqing met Hou Yunfang? Hou Sihai's family, Hou Sihai should know about this situation. Maybe he can know something that we don't know about."

"Is this okay?" Yu He was still skeptical.

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the void in front of him, but his expression was very firm: "Hou Yunfang has a 'credit' for Hou Sihai's situation today. After the incident, Hou Yunfang absconded by himself, leaving his brother and his family to take the blame. What is Hou Sihai thinking in his heart? , who knows. He is in the current situation. Although he is self-inflicted, he must hate the government in his heart. It is normal for him to refuse to speak out if you threaten him; but if it is profitable, the result may not be the same."

"That's right. Why didn't I think of that!" Yu He suddenly realized that he forgot to control his voice in excitement.When he came out of the mouth, he saw the people on the street looking sideways at him, and then he came back to his senses, and giggled at Chu Xiaoyun twice.Then he lowered his voice and said to Chu Xiaoyun in admiration, "Captain, if you were in the Yamen these days, the case might have been solved."

"It's not too late now." Chu Xiaoyun said firmly.

The two of them were chatting about the case, and before they knew it, they had already reached the gate of the county government.Looking at the grievance drum on the side of the county government office, Chu Xiaoyun took a breath and stepped into the county government office with his saber in hand.

The two went to see Wei Jinghan together, and Chu Xiaoyun expressed his opinion.Wei Jinghan smiled slightly after hearing this: "Xiaoyun's thinking is still so quick. Go ahead and do it according to your thinking."

Chu Xiaoyun quickly brought up Hou Sihai from the prison. Facing Chu Xiaoyun's promise of commutation of sentence, Hou Sihai stared at Chu Xiaoyun suspiciously: "Don't try to talk to me!"

Chu Xiaoyun picked up Wei Jinghan's signed document on the table and handed it to Hou Sihai: "Master Wei is the number one scholar in the current department, and he came to take up the post with the imperial seal written by His Majesty the Emperor."

Although Hou Sihai is a businessman without much fame, he runs a bookstore and has read a lot of books. He understands what Chu Xiaoyun said.Holding the document that Chu Xiaoyun handed over, he carefully read it over and over again, pointing at the document, and said in an excited tone, "Maybe what is said on it is true?"

"Of course." Chu Xiaoyun said, "Your Excellency also said that although you committed a serious crime, the starting point was only to exclude competitors, not treason. This kind of crime can be atoned for. Now if you can tell the truth Helping the court to catch the spies of the Hu people in our court is a meritorious service to the country, and it is natural to deduct those punishments. This is such a cost-effective thing, think about it carefully, there will be no such shop after passing this village."

Hou Sihai stared at the document for a full quarter of an hour, and said fiercely: "I say!"

After receiving Hou Sihai's confession, Chu Xiaoyun immediately sued Wei Jinghan and suggested that he be promoted.Wei Jinghan adopted Chu Xiaoyun's opinion and immediately sent an order to ascend to the hall.

In the courtroom, Chu Xiaoyun once again witnessed the scene of Wang Yu's wives and concubines shuffling and grabbing each other in the courtroom.Seeing that Hou Yuqing still refused to confess, Wei Jinghan slapped the gavel: "Take Hou Sihai!"

Hearing Hou Sihai's name, some people in the Wang family showed surprise expressions, and some people could see the change in their expressions even though they tried their best to control it.Although Hou Yuqing tried her best to conceal it, her spirit had changed visibly with the naked eye.

"Hou Sihai, do you know this person in front of you?" Wei Jinghan asked when Hou Sihai brought him.

"My lord, Cao Min certainly knows each other. Her natal family is a neighbor to mine, and she has been friends with my sister since she was a child." Hou Sihai replied.

As soon as Hou Yuqing heard it, she lost her composure and yelled: "My lord, he is only a criminal, don't listen to his nonsense."

Wei Jinghan slapped the gavel: "He hasn't said anything yet, how do you know he's talking nonsense?"

Hou Yuqing was immediately stopped by the question, knelt in the hall and muttered to herself with a dejected expression.

Wei Jinghan turned to Hou Sihai, and patted the gavel again: "Hou Sihai, your sister has returned to Hejing County to visit relatives, and you can meet Hou Yuqing."

"Yes, my lord." Hou Sihai said affirmatively, "Caomin also heard their conversation with his own ears."

When Hou Yuqing heard this, her body was shaking.

Wei Jinghan said: "Hou Sihai, tell me everything you know."

"Yes, my lord." Hou Sihai kowtowed politely and told what he knew.

months ago.

"Your mother-in-law is your aunt, why do you still suffer from the cowardice of those two? We grew up together when we were young. You were not like this when you were young. Why is your temper getting weaker and weaker now?" Hou Yunfang took a sip of tea and said .

"His wife is the servant girl of the Minister of Justice's wife, and has connections with the Minister of Justice, so what can I do?" Hou Yuqing said indignantly, "As for that bitch Yi Ruzhen, relying on her husband's pampering her, she is getting more and more arrogant."

Hou Yunfang thought for a moment: "Actually, the three of you have your own backing. His eldest wife said she was connected to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but in fact, your royal family is backed by your father-in-law; Yi Ruzhen's little hoof has your husband; but you don't Poor, you have the support of your mother-in-law, but the three legs are evenly matched, so why should we be afraid of them."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense about other people's housework." Hou Sihai, who was drinking tea with them, said.

"Oh, what do you know?" Hou Yunfang said, "The buddy is calling you, go do your work, I'll talk to sister Yuqing."

When Hou Sihai heard the clerk's shout, he could only leave first, and before leaving, he asked Hou Yunfang not to meddle in his own business.

The buddy is here to report to discuss with the Yi Family Academy. The academy said that it will not take books from them this year.

"Where did they get the books, did you find out?" Hou Sihai got anxious and angry again after receiving news of old customers' cancellation of cooperation recently.

"I found out, it's Zhihe Bookstore." The guy said.

"It's Zhihe Bookstore again!" Hou Sihai punched the doorpost, thought for a while and felt that he lost his composure, so he said to the clerk, "Go down."

After the clerk left, he wanted to go back to his room to discuss with his wife, but when he passed by the backyard, he heard Hou Yunfang and Hou Yuqing's conversation, so he couldn't help but stop.

"Your brother doesn't seem to welcome me, so I'd better go."

"Come on, he has tracheitis himself, and he won't let others fight. Leave him alone, let's continue talking." Hou Yunfang said.

Hou Yuqing sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what to talk about now. You don't know something. His regular wife, the old lady of the Wang family sometimes has to be courteous."

Hou Yunfang rolled her eyes, and said mockingly: "What kind of courteousness is just a matter of face; the connections of the servant of the Ministry of punishment are just a girl. The reason why the servant of the Ministry of punishment married her to the Wang family must be to win over the whole family. , to consolidate the power in Hejing County; secondly, it is also for surveillance, so it will definitely not be your husband's heart. For the two maids, why do you want to grow others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Just get rid of that little hoof, and then think of a way to let the other If a girl commits a crime that the servant of the Ministry of Punishment can't even confess to, why are you afraid that she won't obediently step aside?"

Hou Yuqing was a little moved by the compliments: "Then sister Yunfang, what do you think?"

Hou Yunfang whispered something next to Hou Yuqing's ear.Hou Yuqing's face turned red and then pale when she heard it. After Hou Yunfang sat up straight, Hou Yuqing hesitated and said fearfully, "This is illegal. I can't live if someone finds out. Besides, I don't know where to find the witch who knows." A warlock of Gu."

"You do it in your own room, how can people know about it. Besides, after you're done, you find a way to stuff it in another maid's room, and the whole thing has nothing to do with you. Why not kill two birds with one stone? As for drawing spells The magician who casts spells, the barbarian has a wizard in Fangchuan County next door, I can introduce you to him, you take my souvenir to find him, he will definitely respond to your needs."

Seeing that Hou Yuqing was still hesitating, Hou Yunfang said: "If you don't work hard, think about what will happen in 20 years. At that time, the son of that big girl will be the one who will be in charge. What will your son get? What will your mother and father have at that time?" What day is it? But if you work harder and become a regular wife, the Wang family will belong to your son from now on."

Hou Yuqing was persuaded that her son could be in the Wang family's house, she nodded and said, "Sister Yunfang, I'll listen to you."

Hou Yunfang told Hou Yuqing the address of the barbarian wizard, and Hou Yuqing took the address and left.

Wei Jinghan patted the gavel: "Hou Yuqing, what do you have to say now?"

Hou Yuqing didn't answer, but Wang Yu's mother, Hou Yuqing's mother-in-law and aunt said hesitantly: "Master Wei, this Hou Sihai is a prisoner related to Hu people, his testimony is not reliable. Besides, even if you don't mention his identity as a prisoner, there is no evidence for his nonsense."

Hou Yuqing heard the words and Fangfo saw the light, and hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, the doll was found from the lady's room, and it has nothing to do with me; Hou Sihai is talking nonsense, nonsense!"

After hearing this, Wei Jinghan said: "Whether Hou Sihai is talking nonsense, the county will send people to check."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Xiaoyun in the hall and said, "Chu Butou, quickly take people to Fangchuan County to get them."

Then he glanced at Hou Yuqing's aunt and nephew again: "Whether it is true or not, I believe we will find out soon."

Wang Yu's mother also stopped talking.

After Chu Xiaoyun left, Wang Yu's regular wife was overjoyed. She threw herself on the ground and cried, "My lord, the women have been wronged. I beg you to make decisions for the women!"

Wei Jinghan patted the gavel: "He Qingmei, even if the witchcraft matter has nothing to do with you, you must know where the miasma that bit Yi Ruzhen's arm came from."

He Qingmei's original howling sound stopped abruptly, and she looked at Wei Jinghan in surprise.

Wei Jinghan asked to bring a wooden box: "Do you remember this box?"

He Qingmei repeatedly shook her head and backed away: "No, I don't know, I don't know!"

Wei Jinghan said: "Since you were the servant girl of the Minister of Justice's wife before, you should recognize the person who took this box, He Zhang, the bodyguard of the Minister of Justice. He has already been arrested by the people of Dali Temple and confessed to the crime, so you don't have to fight hard." .”

He Qingmei immediately collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Wei Jinghan patted the gavel again: "Today's trial is over, and when the head of Chu arrests the barbarian wizard and arrives at the case, the case will be announced! Withdraw from the court!"
