Chapter 577 Murderer and Victim

After Ba Ziyu was arrested, he confessed not long after.

It was true that Shuang Xiangqin was killed by someone else, but no matter what, it was said to be an accident. The couple had a quarrel about trivial matters in life, and their words got heated. They drank some wine at the time, so they were impulsive.

"I really didn't want to kill anyone. That's my wife. We haven't been married for a long time. Why would I want to kill her? What good would killing her do to me?" Ba Ziyu said anxiously: "Besides, she has a good personality and a good hand.

What a coincidence, I accidentally hurt her and I'm very sad, and I haven't looked for her again until now."

The word "murder" has easily turned into accidental injury.

Ye Caitang scoffed at this.

"I think maybe Shuangxiangqin was forced to marry Ba Ziyu." Ye Caitang said: "He said he was a hero saving the beauty, but judging from his usual character, he is not a hero. It is possible that he met someone who ran away.

Shuang Xiangqin took him home. Shuang Xiangqin is a little girl and is scared, so that’s not up to him."

Ye Caitang's guess does seem to be more reliable than Ba ​​Ziyu's own words.

But the most troublesome thing is that now Shuang Xiangqin is dead, and there is no evidence of his death. No matter what Ba Ziyu says, no one can testify.

So they can't just sentence Ba Ziyu to death. What if he is really unjustly accused?

For a moment, it was really difficult.

On the table in front of everyone, the red wedding dress was spread out.

Xia Yue said: "I think the key lies with this person."

Who on earth dug out the wedding dress and placed it at the door of the six doors.

Who on earth wants to dig up Shuangxiangqin's grave?

Everyone nodded.

Liu Sha said: "This person placed the wedding dress at the door of the six doors, obviously wanting the government to intervene. I wonder if he knows the truth, but has some difficult reasons that he can't tell, so he does this?"

"What about digging up the grave of Two Parsley?"

"I don't know, but maybe I want to dig out Shuang Xiangqin's skeleton and send it to Liumenmen? As soon as the skeleton comes out, it will immediately prove that she did not die of illness."

Every guess makes sense, but the most troublesome thing now is that every guess is just a guess.

The people sent by Xia Yue to Tanjia Embroidery Workshop have already set off and will take some time to come back, and they may not be able to bring back any news.

It is very shameful for a young lady to run away with her lover with her maid. Some people, for the sake of their reputation, will not tell anyone about it. Instead, they will find a reason to say that the young lady suddenly killed her maid and martyred her husband, and buried her in an empty coffin.

Ye Caitang thought about it and said: "We still have to find this person, the person who will put the wedding dress at the door of the six doors."

But how to find it.

Liu Sha said: "I probably know some of the reasons why he dare not speak."

"What?"

"It's just fear. Because Ba Ziyu and his gang are running rampant in the countryside, and no one dares to mess with them. Even if someone knows something, they are afraid that if they speak out, they will do something wrong and get into trouble."

Just like the underworld, ordinary people who dare to provoke them will only dare to close the door and curse a few times no matter how much they hate them.

Moreover, there has always been a saying among the people that officials protect each other. In their opinion, Ba Ziyu must be someone above him. As for how high he is, they cannot think of it, and they dare not think about it.

This kind of thing happens not only in Lushui Village, but everywhere. Liu Sha has seen a lot.

Xia Yue pondered for a moment: "You are right. If you ask the person who gave you the wedding dress to come forward, you must reassure him that no matter what you say is right or wrong, he will not be retaliated against."

It's very simple.

At that moment, Liu Sha and Wang Tong took people to Lushui Village and arrested a group of Ba Ziyu's men and the head of the village who had received his benefits and colluded to bully the villagers.

More than twenty men tied their hands with ropes and strung them together one by one. They stood in the center of the village where a stage was usually set up to sing operas.

Wang Tong banged the gong and asked the village chief to go door to door and call out everyone.

Fight bullies and divide property.

"Dear fellow villagers," Wang Tong said, "We are from the Liumen of the imperial court. Liumen is a type of government office that specializes in catching bad people. We have received news that Ba Ziyu, the bully of Lushui Village, is running rampant in the countryside.

Bullying men and dominating women, plundering money, causing chaos in the village, and making people miserable."

Ye Caitang was whispering to Liu Sha from behind.

"You can't tell, Wang Tong is quite smooth-talking."

Liu Sha whispered: "Before you came, he was the most slippery person here."

Known as the number one flatterer in the Six Doors, he is especially good at pleasing adults. Later, after you came, he abdicated in favor of others.

How about saying that there are people above us and there is a sky outside the sky? I cannot accept it.

Ye Caitang thought about it and realized that now she no longer needed to flatter Xia Yue, so she decided to return the title to Wang Tong.

Let every word return to where it belongs.

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he showed a simple tent.

Wang Tong said: "I know, the villagers have suffered a lot at the hands of Ba Ziyu and his gang over the years. Some people have suffered, and some have suffered. The adults in our family have said that these losses cannot be in vain."

If you eat it, you have to make him pay for it."

The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Wang Tong said: "Everyone, if anyone has suffered a loss in Ba Ziyu, such as being beaten, defrauded of money, etc., whatever, you can tell our master in this tent. Wait until everything is sorted out.

, we will compensate everyone according to the severity.”

For a moment, the villagers were in an uproar.

Ba Ziyu was rampant in the countryside. No one was angry with him or suffered from him. But there was no other way but to swallow his anger.

Now someone actually avenged them? Is there such a good thing?

Did the imperial court send officials to rescue them?

Everyone is eager to try, but the first place is difficult to come by because of fear of retaliation.

What if there is a loud commotion here and Ba Ziyu comes back as soon as the government officials leave? What will he do? He will have to intensify his revenge.

Wang Tong said again: "You can rest assured. It has been confirmed that Ba Ziyu is alive and will not come back. It's just that a lot of money was confiscated from his house. Our Lords have said that this money will be used to compensate the villagers and also return the money."

With them..."

Wang Tong kicked the nearest Li Chang.

"Their family's money will also be used to compensate you. They are all Ba Ziyu's lackeys. They haven't investigated carefully yet. If it is found that there is a murder case in their hands, one life will be worth one life. Even if there is no murder case, you can rest assured.

I will almost spend the rest of my life in a prison cell in the Yamen."

Not even a cell with six doors.

Wang Tong first mobilized.

Know it with reason, move it with emotion, and lure it with money.

Then, someone bravely stood up.

It was the same house they stayed at before.

Wang Tong is very good at handling this kind of thing. He knows how to find a leader. People have a herd mentality. When the crowd is angry, one or two people need to raise their arms and the rest will relax.

Sure enough, after the first two arranged people entered the tent and told their tragic experiences with tears and runny noses, other villagers in the village who had been violated could not help but come forward one by one.

They walked into the tent one by one and asked the master to write down their names, home addresses, and events.

At this time, Wang Tong did not forget to tell everyone who came out that they were not from Lushui Village, but from other villages. Everyone should tell each other.
