Chapter 775 One hundred and seventy-four ·Suicide

The Fourth Master Cui's matter has caused a lot of trouble. Zhang Tuiguan is already very familiar with Su Yao because of the case of Princess Jingming and Shen Jiacun. They have a tacit understanding with each other. Naturally, he knows that Cui Yuandao is now choosing Xiao Heng's side.

Yes, since Cui Yuandao's son was born, he had already been interested in it.

Now that Xiao Heng and Su Yao were here, Zhang Tuiguan first took out the file and showed it to Su Yao and Xiao Heng.

"The Fourth Master Cui hid his beauty in a golden room in a house in the north of the city, and built an outer room. This outer room's surname was Wu, and her name was Wu Qianniang. I heard that she was originally a famous female historian in Jinling, but she was later redeemed by the Fourth Master Cui, and she followed Cui ever since.

Fourth Master." Zhang

The recommendation officer had already understood the situation clearly and explained it to Xiao Heng and Su Yao one by one: "This is the testimony of people who live in the surrounding houses. They can all prove that the house where Wu Qianniang lives belongs to Fourth Master Cui, and Fourth Master Cui often

Go in and out of this mansion."

Xiao Heng asked first: "Didn't Fourth Master Cui just come to Beijing not long ago?"

"Yes, but Fourth Master Cui used to be in charge of the Cui family's business, so he often went in and out of the capital to buy a house to house Wu Qianniang. I'm afraid he also avoided the main wife, Li." Officer Zhang turned to the neighbor's testimony and said,

Then he added: "In addition, Wu Qianniang herself admitted that in the past

She had been following Fourth Master Cui, but she had never been discovered by Li. It was not until Fourth Master Cui came to Beijing this time that he came in and out more often. This aroused Li's suspicion, and Li chased him here.

After discovering Wu Qianniang's existence, she became furious and had a fierce conflict with Fourth Master Cui."

The matter is too big. Cui Daru will not talk about it. The Li family is an official after all. The procedures of Shuntian Mansion have already started. The nearby neighbors and servants of the Cui family and the servants of the Li family have also been interrogated.

Go through it again.

Su Yao went over the testimony and saw that both the servants of the Li family and the Cui family said that Li rushed to find Fourth Master Cui the first time, and there was a fierce conflict between the two parties.

Then Mrs. Li went back to her parents' home, and then went to Wu Qianniang's place the next day. Fourth Master Cui asked her to go into the study alone to talk, but Ms. Li didn't come out for a long time. Then the servants of the Li family panicked and rushed in.

At first glance, they found that Mrs. Li had fallen into a pool of blood with several wounds on her chest, and Fourth Master Cui had also fallen unconscious under the desk, holding a dagger in his hand.

"Where is this Wu Qianniang?" Su Yao and Xiao Heng asked in unison.

Zhang Tuiguan narrowed his eyes: "Wu Qianniang also fainted. According to her, Li was very emotional at that time. After rushing into the room, he picked up the dagger on the table and wanted to kill her. She avoided it, and then

Fourth Master Cui also rushed into the room and started fighting with Ms. Li. Ms. Li broke away and Mr. Cui rushed towards her. She was so frightened that she hit the corner of the table while hurriedly dodging and fainted.

"

Su Yao twitched the corner of his lips: "It's really a coincidence, so naturally she doesn't know what happened next?"

"Yes." Zhang Tuiguan naturally knew what Su Yao meant, and shook his head: "She really doesn't know what happened next, including whether Mr. Cui killed Li and how he was killed.

When she woke up, everyone in the Li family had already rushed into the house and cried for Mrs. Li."

Xiao Heng asked: "Where is she?"

Zhang Tuiguan said: "The Li family said she was also an accomplice, so even though she pushed her out completely, she is still detained for the time being."

Su Yao nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that they all knew the ins and outs of the matter, Zhang Tuiguan said bluntly: "I'm afraid this case will be difficult to handle. Although Fourth Master Cui refused to admit the murder, he couldn't produce any evidence. Wu Qianniang also fainted.

What's even more deadly is that Fourth Master Cui has a murder weapon in his hand.

Just as he was talking, a government official knocked on the door hurriedly outside.

Official Zhang responded and opened the door. After a while, he walked in with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, County Lord, something happened to Wu Qianniang in prison. She committed suicide."

What?!

Xiao Heng and Su Yao both stood up immediately and followed Zhang Tuiguan to the Shuntian Mansion Prison.

The Shuntian Mansion Prison is divided into male and female prisoners. Because of her special status, Wu Qianniang was not locked up with the ordinary female prisoners, but was alone in a room at the end. At this time, many people were surrounding her. Zhang

The official rushed over and asked the doctor: "How is he?"

The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his head: "This hairpin is inserted really deep. If it were deeper for a while, he would be dead. Fortunately, he was discovered in time, but he can't stay in prison like this. He has to go out and rest."

Just fine.

Zhang Tuiguan took a deep look at Wu Qianniang lying on the ground, and then said calmly: "I understand, wait until I ask the governor for instructions."

After leaving the prison, Officer Zhang looked at Xiao Heng and Su Yao: "Your Highness, County Lord, what do you think of Wu Qianniang's injury?"

"The timing is very good." Xiao Heng said in a deep voice: "Just like the time when she fainted before, it was just right. She had no suspicion in the first place. The reason why you detained her was just because the Li family thought she was

The person in the outer room is Hu Meizi, so I just held her captive. But now that she has committed suicide, the situation will be different, and the fourth master Cui must have received the news of her suicide."

As if to respond to Xiao Heng's speculation, after a while, another prison official came over and told Officer Zhang: "Sir, Fourth Master Cui said that this matter has nothing to do with Wu Qianniang, and I hope that you will release Wu Qianniang as soon as possible."

Zhang Tuiguan's smile suddenly became a little strange, and he nodded to the clerk: "I understand, you tell Fourth Master Cui that you have to ask the Lord of the Palace to make the decision on this matter. I can't make the decision."

After sending away the pian, Zhang Tuiguan thought thoughtfully: "Isn't this Wu Qianniang the murderer?"

"It may not be her, but it is inevitable that she is an insider." Su Yao snorted softly, sorted out the matter carefully, gradually got a clue, and asked Xiao Heng: "Your Highness, what do you think?

How about Wu Qianniang?"

Xiao Heng didn't hesitate at all and replied: "Okay." After a pause, he looked at Zhang Guan again: "It's just that Zhang Zhang has to go to Wu Qianniang to talk alone. It doesn't take long, half an hour.

, half an hour later, you tell the magistrate again to let her go."

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding what the other meant.

Zhang Tuiguan was also a little confused for a moment, and then he suddenly understood and agreed.

It was getting late, so Officer Zhang asked them again: "Are you going to meet Mr. Cui?"

"I'm gone today." Su Yao didn't have a good impression of Fourth Master Cui. No matter whether Mr. Li was killed by himself or not, it was always his own behavior to leave the house privately. Now that his wife is dead, he still commits suicide for the sake of someone.

Waishi begged for mercy. Looking at it like this, he was not a person who could carry it clearly.
