Author: I have a pot

The case closing letter presented to the emperor by Lord Zhou is almost finished. The case must be handled quickly. Cut off Xu Jun's head and everything will be concluded.

"This Xu Jun is very enlightened. In this way, he will save him from being punished again. I can explain it to the emperor. I didn't expect this to go so smoothly." Lord Zhou was very happy.

The previous time I visited Xu Jun in the cell, he still had a lifelong thought and was stubborn. Even if he used punishment, he never made him surrender.

This time, he saw him lying in a corner of the cell, his hair was as weeds, his eyes were dark, his pale lips were bloodless, and his clothes were smelly of mold. A cockroach crawled onto his face, and he was too lazy to drive him with his hands, but he was just stunned. Xiang Suining looked at him through the wooden door, but he didn't react at all.

He hadn't eaten the soup and rice he sent last night, and even the prison guards said that Xu Jun was preparing to ascend to heaven in advance.

"Since you haven't killed someone, why should you admit it?" Xiang Suining asked him.

"I killed people."

"That's not what you said before."

"I remembered it wrong before."

How can you remember the murders wrongly?

Xiang Suining could see that Xu Jun was perfunctory and asked him deliberately: "Since you said you killed the person, let me ask you, how did Eunuch Chang die?"

"Of course I strangled to death."

"What did you strangle him?"

Xu Jun didn't expect Xiang Suining to ask such a question. He thought hard, and after thinking for a while, his head hurts. He hugged his head with both hands, and his voice was a little impatient: "Everyone said that I killed people, and I asked what to do so carefully. Of course, I used a rope to strangle Eunuch Chang. I hate him for ruining my wife's reputation and for making me unable to raise my head, so he deserves to die. A real man dares to act and take responsibility. Anyway, I did this, and I will kill me."

Suddenly there was a silence in the cell.

There are also several people who kill and set fire here. After entering, they eat sticks or are tortured. They don’t need to burn red soldering irons for the yamen runners. They are so scared that they are pissed off.

It is rare for Xu Jun to brag about his murder.

The prisoner only thought Xu Jun's head was broken.

Lord Zhou has come in and the case closing statement has been written. Just Xu Jun needs to write a note on it.

The case closing was written very clearly. Xu Jun's wife seduced Eunuch Chang and was discovered by Xu Jun. The incident spread and Xu Jun was criticized. He was resentful in his heart, so he killed Eunuch Chang to vent his anger. As for time, it was the time when Eunuch Chang died, which was tested by Zheng Jun. Eunuch Chang's fatal injury was on his neck, with two strangled marks, one thick and one thin.

Once the document is written, it means admitting the statement in the case closing document, which is a death sentence.

Xu Jun couldn't wait.

Xiang Suining stopped him.

Lord Zhou was a little dissatisfied. What was the reason why a girl from Suining was obstructing her? Could it be that she is more wise and powerful than her master Qingtian?

What does a bunch of men have to do with her, a woman? What do she want to do if she doesn’t embroider and feed fish at home?

"I'll make a note, I'll make a note now." Xu Jun was a little anxious: "Miss, stop asking more questions, go."

"Mr. Zhou, I know you are the parents of Qingcheng. This case closing statement is well-founded, but Xu Jun did not kill anyone."

"Master Zhou, I kill people, I recognize them." Xu Jun was anxious.

Lord Zhou was intrigued. His case closing letter was written perfectly. Even if he presented it to the emperor, he was able to advance and retreat in moderation and sentencing standard. Her daughter's house in the boudoir actually said that the case closing letter was written incorrectly, saying that Xu Jun did not kill anyone?

Bold.

As soon as Lord Zhou shook his eyes, a yamen runner brought up a cloth shoe. Although the cloth shoes were made of ordinary black cotton cloth, the stitches were quite delicate and the color was seventy-seven-point. At the heel of the shoe, a cloud pattern was embroidered with purple thick thread to achieve the meaning of reaching the sky.

"The cloth shoes were found by the yamen runners from the bed in Eunuch Chang's bedroom. I also asked clearly that these cloth shoes were worn by Xu Jun when he was driving the car. I was afraid of unfairly accusing him, so I specially called a few coachmen who were familiar with Xu Jun to identify them. They all said that these cloth shoes were Xu Jun's. If he hadn't killed Eunuch Chang, how could his cloth shoes appear under Eunuch Chang's bed? I also asked Xu Jun to try them. These shoes were just right for his feet."

"I just need to ask Xu Jun a few questions and everything will be clear."

The yamen runner handed over a stool, and Lord Zhou simply sat down and listened.

He wanted to see how this girl proved that Xu Jun did not kill anyone.

Xiang Suining wanted to ask questions, but Xu Jun retreated. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xiang Suining's eyes. Although he muttered that he had killed someone himself, his voice became smaller and smaller, and it seemed that he had no confidence in his heart.

"Xu Jun, you say it again in front of Lord Zhou, why did you strangle Eunuch Chang to death?"

"I...I...I use a rope."

"How many ropes have you used?"

"Of course...it's one."

"How many times have you tied Eunuch Chang?"

"I...I...I...I...I...I...I...I once."

His eyes flashed and hesitated. After just a few words, Xu Jun's forehead was sweating.

Lord Zhou could no longer sit still, and the case closing letter was still there, with the details of the murder clearly written on it. Those details were not in line with what Xu Jun said. The details of Zheng Jun's test and the statements on the case closing letter were inconsistent with what Xu Jun said.

How to convict a person of death?

Tough.

It is easy to ask Xu Jun to confess his guilt, as the case closing statement says.

But this matter involves Eunuch Chang. If the emperor investigates it carefully, wouldn’t Xu Jun’s preface behave like a bad thing?

"Sir, I want to say a few words to Xu Jun alone." Xiang Suining blessed with a blessing.

Lord Zhou glanced at her and quietly exited the cell.

Xu Jun still looked the same way, not close to the raw and cooked. After wiping the sweat on his head, he actually picked up the rotten soup rice and started eating. Maybe he wanted to be a full decay, worried that when he died, he would be depressed and could not eat anything. He was not afraid of death, but he saw through it, but became hungry.

Mingzhu complained a little: "Girl, since he is determined to die, why should I let others not like it?"

The door of the cell was closed, and several yamen runners rolled dice around the table to drink, and the mice began to wander around unscrupulously.

A cockroach climbed onto Xiang Suining's instep. Mingzhu looked down and almost shouted in fear. He had never seen such a big cockroach before. He could fly with a wing for the cockroach.

Mingzhu endured the disgust and pulled the big cockroach off Xiang Suining's embroidered shoes. Then she closed her eyes and stepped on it with her feet. She heard a "pop" sound. The cockroach exploded and a stream of slurry came out, the smell.

Xiang Suining's face did not change, and his feet didn't even move.

Xu Junjing was a man and sighed: "I know you are for my own good, but--"

"I'm not for you, I'm for Eunuch Chang, I don't want him to die inexplicably."

"Okay, but you just think that I killed the person. Anyway, I just went to accompany my father-in-law below to accompany me. You don't have to come to see me anymore. Actually, you don't have to comfort me this time."

"I'm not here to comfort you."

"Then why are you doing?"

"I'm here to tell you that your wife has raised a man outside."

"What did you say?" Xu Jun held the soup bowl and almost crushed the bowl with thick fingers.

How long has he been in? His wife raised a man before the prison cell was warmed up? He left home, and then a substitute came to his kang?

It shouldn't be.

It's not that fast to catch it now, right?

No matter how charming Yue Niang is, she will not find her next home so soon.

Xu Jun doesn't believe it.

But the details Xiang Suining said made him stunned.

Xiang Suining didn't want to talk about those dirty things, like a tongue-in-law, but if she got gossiped, the tongue-in-law on the streets and alleys might not be her opponent.

Xiang Suining is very detailed, and his expression is vivid, no less than the storyteller under the overpass: "My maid and I saw Yue Niang hugging a man with my own eyes. The man entered your house in the dark and stayed for about a stick of incense before coming out."

Mingzhu also helped, "When you came out, your Yue Niang was still tying her buttons, and her hair was messy anyway. By the way, I gave the man a sachet."

Xu Jun could hardly stand.

But things in the world are so cruel, Xiang Suining didn't hide it at all: "In my opinion, this man should be Yue Niang's lover, and this is an old man in his fifties..."

The old man in his fifties stimulated Xu Jun.

Yue Niang's love is an old man in his fifties.

He always thought it was Eunuch Chang, but it seemed that there was someone else. He hated the wrong person over the years? Yue Niang was hanging out with a man and she still treated him like a fool.

After being in jail, I was about to die, but Yue Niang and the old man kissed me and me, as if inseparable.

Xu Jun closed his eyes and couldn't imagine the scene. The soup bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and his hands were shaking so hard that he couldn't stop: "What's the use of saying this? It's too late for me to know now. You have to know that no matter how bad my mother was, she was pregnant with my child for more than a month. Yue Niang said that if I don't plead guilty, Lord Zhou would catch her and force me to confess. After severe punishment, can the child in her belly be saved? I lived for thirty or forty years, and there was only one child. For him, what's the matter if I die? As long as the child burns a pillar of incense for me in the future."

Yue Niang has already visited Xu Jun.

She used to beat Xu Junfei and scolded her. This time she came to visit the cell, and she cried very sadly. She said that she was in a bad mood because she was pregnant, and she also said that she was afraid that the government would punish her if she didn't report it. She reported it to Xu Jun, and she was afraid that the government would treat her as a co-offender. If she beat her, the child in her stomach would not be saved. As long as Xu Jun died with peace of mind, she would definitely raise the child.

Children are a person's weakness.

Xu Jun agreed without thinking about it.

Even if he knows that Yue Niang is engaged in adultery with someone else, he can tolerate it as long as she gives birth to the child and raises it well.

Xiang Suining understood what Xu Jun was thinking. If Xu Jun did not open the gap of Yue Niang, Xu Jun would not let go.

Yue Niang's child is coming strangely. She is pregnant at this time, and she is suspicious.

If Yue Niang had no children, it would be another bolt from the blue for Xu Jun.
