Break the line

The oil lamp, exactly, is exactly this trace.I, my elder brother is dead, it is her, she kills! "The short man didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Li Zui, but lowered his head but pointed at her with one hand.

"Since you are traveling together, have you ever seen me kill someone? When? Where? What weapon? Where is the injury? Since you are traveling together, why didn't you resist? Why didn't you rescue?" Li Zui turned to the dwarf and walked up to him step by step. .

"I, I, we got separated... I." The dwarf knelt and moved back.

"Since we got separated, at most we have been with each other. How do you know that I killed people, and the lamps are all made of tung oil. Why, the tung oil in your house is on my clothes. Is there any evidence?" Li Zui asked again, but the short man Already speechless, they ran away separately last night. The original arrangement was that the elder brother went to find Xiao Dongzi who was waiting under the Qionghua tree at the corner of the mountain road. As long as the belongings of Li Zui's entourage were stuffed into the hands of the dead, they could be used as physical evidence on Li Zui's head. After all, after the last poisoning failed, it would be very difficult to steal things from the garden.

Unexpectedly, he waited for a long time after returning to Zhuangzi, but he still didn't see the boss coming back. He followed the mountain road and found the lieutenant of the criminal department who came to find the corpse according to the plan. There were no traces of the murder weapon, only the red grass under the tree.

"It seems that you have pleaded not guilty? Well, bring witnesses!" Zhu Ping almost stuck his index finger on the tip of Li Zui's nose, as if he was determined to win.

An old man limped up from the front of the hall, knelt on the ground, and pointed at Li Zui: "That's her!"

Li Zui was taken aback, she had never seen this person before.

"I am from Wang Santong Village, and I am also the leader of the pawn gang in this village. Last night, the son of Chen's bearer's family in the pawn gang was lost. We searched for half the night. I saw her with my own eyes on the village road near the wine garden. It was she who stabbed Wang San in the back with a knife, and said in her mouth: "Dying by Li Zui's knife, you are considered a blessing! "!"

Old Xu burst into tears and spoke conclusively.

Li Zui frowned, it seems that the assassination failed, and he planned to kill her unjustly.

Old Xu cried and howled: "Poor Wang San is just a farmer in our village. He took the money saved by everyone to the Pope Xinhui Hall to exchange some typhoid medicine. We poor people can't survive by ourselves, so we can only do this." Only by helping each other can we survive natural disasters and illnesses, but I never expected to encounter such a terrible thing!"

He kowtowed vigorously towards Li Zui a few times, and when he got up again, he saw a stream of blood running down his eyes and nose, which was very creepy: "You are a practitioner of the Pope, why can't you have mercy on us little people?" What about life? I want money for you, why kill people, poor Wang San has an old mother who has been a widow for half her life, and a daughter who is still unable to walk steadily, just ruining her life in vain."

Zhu Ping had already sat firmly in front of the hall, and knocked on the gavel with a bang: "The witnesses and evidence are here, but the prisoner Li Zui has not knelt down yet!"

A dense mass of villagers had already gathered outside the hall, crying and making noise one after another.

Look, it is not impossible for the weak to bully the strong.Even if Li Zui had a thousand mouths at this moment, he couldn't tell a single one was innocent.

They had already dug a hole for her, but she was just a school boy who couldn't bear the hard life, took advantage of the snowy night to rob and kill the villagers, robbed the money and escaped from the pope by boat and returned to secular life for pleasure.There are witnesses, there are physical evidences, and the witnesses are still the leaders of the pawn gang with identity.It's a good strategy, that is to kill yourself in prison, and when the court finds it, the file is laid out, look, it is the princess who can't bear the pain of cultivation, and wants to run away, let alone the court wants her to die here, even if someone artificially She complained and couldn't make a sound. Who can say that the princess who bullies the weak is a poor person, and most people have to add: "He died well, he deserved it!"

Zhu Ping sat in the hall and was complacent. This chain plan was well done, and he could advance or retreat. It would be troublesome to burn to death, but the unjust death was not only dead, but also justified, damn it!

In the back hall, the lieutenant respectfully offered tea and refilled water: "Master, take your time, the only thing left is to sign and draw."

Behind the dark crowd, Yinglan's group had already heard clearly. She clenched her fists tightly, and it was not easy to rescue the Lord from the hands of so many people and criminals, but if she was rescued, she would have to bear the burden of guilt. name!

Unexpectedly, a figure next to him rushed out, pushed aside the crowd, and went straight to the lobby: "Old Xu, that's not the case! You are not such a person!"

When Old Xu heard the sound and turned his head, Xiao Wu was already standing straight in front of him with tears in his eyes.

hum, so short

Chapter 48

"Old Xu, you taught me. Other craftsmen have their own skills, but this blacksmith must burn them with wind drums and hammer them with hammers." Xiao Wu said. He said, she shed tears first, this child has always been stubborn, suffered and never said a word, but it was the first time she shed tears in front of people, Ying Lan rushed forward and grabbed his wrist, tightly.

"Old Xu, others say that you use me as a fool, but I never believe it, because whether it's watching the fire or distinguishing the color, you have taught me hand in hand these days. Even if you scold me, you want me to remember it firmly, I know!" Weeping and talking, snot and tears flowed freely, he was extremely embarrassed, stretched out a small hand from the side, trying to wipe his tears, the other people looked at the persimmon tree that stretched out his hand, and the little girl stared back fiercely!The man hurriedly lowered his head.

The one who lowered his head was Old Xu. He lowered his head slowly to avoid Xiao Wu's sight. No matter facing the domineering criminal officer or the excited villagers, he could perform pitiful or angry expressions just right. Look, only facing this child, I feel a little guilty.

Why is he so foolish to think that the empty house next to the blacksmith is just waiting for them to rent, and he has time to teach him things, and he never does business that loses money, and he doesn't do things for nothing.

But, it's just such a fool who believes in him.

Seeing this, Zhu Ping slapped the gavel: "Whoever roared in the torture hall and interfered with the trial, pull him down! Since the certification and physical evidence are all available, you are the one who killed him! Taught the boy Li Zui, robbed money and murdered, and sent him to death row!"

Kan Jian faintly drew his sword, but Li Zui shot him with a look and shook his head.

The crowd gradually dispersed, Xiao Wu still lowered his head, Ying Lan couldn't help but stepped forward, and took the boy into his arms. The 12-year-old boy hadn't cried so heartbreakingly for a long time: "Sister Ying, old man Xu Zhen is not such a person, how could he wrong people so much, he has always been very good to me, I don't believe it..."

In the intermittent crying, Ying Lan patted his back to comfort him. This child has never talked much, but once he trusts someone, he really believes. But now, this person is tearing off the painted skin in front of him, revealing the most The unbearable hypocrisy and evil, Xiao Wu hated him so much that he was not a human being, but a trusting and lost trust.

With a creak, a man in black pushed open the door of the blacksmith shop. In the middle of the night, Old Xu was sitting at the table with a lamp on. He had been sitting here for so many nights in the past three months, beating the small shop with a bong. Wu's ass, saying that this is not right and that is not good, but in his heart he is thinking, if his son grows up to be like this, it would be great.

Old Xu stretched his neck to look at the door, but unfortunately the footsteps were not that kid, who could it be?

Until the man in black showed a token——Xinhui, is Xinhui Hall in charge of medicine and food?How could they get involved in this matter? Isn't it rumored that Ping Jingtang, who is in charge of prison guards, has married Xinhuitang?

Old Xu saluted tremblingly: "I don't know what advice the Master has to offer?"

The cold voice was only a few words: "Tell the truth in public tomorrow, and Xinhui will keep you alive. If you continue to perjure and deceive, your Wangjiacun will never get a single herb from now on."

Lao Xu was stunned for a moment, and when he recovered, he had already left.

Offending Xinhuitang, there is no medicine, and even the relief food for the first month of spring every year is probably hard to come by. This is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of a village.

Princess Li, one wants you to die and the other wants you to live, but whether you live or die, how can we people make a living!

Old Xu frowned, and looked out through the window. In the night, the invisible households were there alive.

Early the next morning, Xiao Wu had breakfast as usual, but stopped in front of Lao Xu's door. He wanted to question Lao Xu, why he helped the evildoers and wronged good people, but after leaving the hall yesterday, when Lao Xu passed by him, There was an inaudible sigh.And this night, he stared at the lights next door that had not been extinguished all night, and he also stayed awake all night.

Suddenly, he frowned, it was dawn, but through the window paper, he could still see the oil lamp on, what was Lao Xu doing, the lamp was on during the day?

Xiao Wu slammed on the door, but there was no response. Kan Jian Yinglan behind him chased him out. Seeing that something was wrong, Kan Jian kicked the door open, and everyone rushed in to have a look.

Old Xu is dead.

He was sitting in front of the table, stabbing his left chest with a dagger in his right hand, committing suicide.

The villagers who heard the sound quickly surrounded the place, especially the members of the pawn gang. They were excited. They looked at the four people nearby and thought it was Yinglan. They hated Lao Xu for testifying and killed him. The person who came was not yesterday's lieutenant. Although a group of lieutenants with a bad face were also wearing the clothes of the criminal department, their white clothes were covered with gold rims. Someone quickly realized that this was a member of the picket department directly under the head of the Pope's department in red. The criminal department usually only comes out with major and important cases.

The leader of the mustache looked carefully at the state of Lao Xu's death, and pulled out a note from his left hand. It can be seen that he was tightly clutched in the palm of his hand before he died. There was a line of crooked words on it: I am a lame Xu, coveting Wang San's property , with this dagger under the Qionghua tree
