Chapter 23: Luring the Snake out of its Hole(1/2)
The question raised by Yue Su hit Wu Bin's spine. If he said he had never seen her before, he didn't know whether Mrs. Feng confessed after being brought in. If she did, he would probably be charged with making a false confession again.
, have a meal. After much deliberation, it is better to give an ambiguous answer.
"Sir, it's been so long that I can't remember clearly. It seems like I've seen it before, but it seems like I haven't seen it before."
"Hahahaha..." Yue Su laughed loudly and said: "Master Wu is indeed a scholar, and every answer he answers is watertight." After saying that, he knocked the gavel tree hard, "It's just that I can't tolerate it in the lobby.
You have a decent answer. Tell me, have you seen it or not?"
"It's been so long that I really can't remember. The student asked me, if I asked you, sir, what you had for dinner last year and who you met on the street, would you be able to remember them?"
"You are really sharp-tongued. I will remind you. On November 23 last year, Mr. Zhang was working in the small courtyard of your house in North Point. When you went there, you asked Mrs. Feng, who was in charge, to take away all the other workers, leaving only
You and Mr. Zhang stayed in the hospital. What did you do at that time? "
After listening to Yue Su's words, Wu Bin knew that Mrs. Feng had tried everything. If he couldn't think of a prevarication, he would not be able to pass this level. After thinking about it, Wu Bin suddenly sighed and said: "Mr. Zhang is beautiful, and the people in the house are so beautiful."
There are rumors about the crowd, and the student was curious for a while, so he went to see it that day. When he saw it, he was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, so he had other thoughts. I deliberately sent Mrs. Feng and others away, leaving only Ms. Zhang to stay with her.
He expressed his feelings and promised that if he can do something good with me, I will give Guo Kai some money to let him divorce his wife, and then take Zhang as his concubine. Zhang is also a vain person, so when she saw what I said, she immediately agreed, and we both
I was in ecstasy for a while in the courtyard, and then I left. I really don’t know why Mrs. Zhang died. I think it must have been Cui Gui, who was greedy for her beauty. When she saw Ms. Zhang alone in the courtyard, she raped and killed her. I hope you will, sir.
Find the real culprit and bring him to justice."
Anyway, based on the evidence, Wu Bin simply put all the charges on Cui Gui and Diao Liang. The most he committed was adultery.
It would be better to die than to be recruited. No third party could see this. If Cui Gui could not be obtained, Diao Liang just had no evidence.
"According to what you said, everything was done by Cui Gui and Diao Liang?" Seeing that Wu Bin blamed Cui Gui and Diao Liang for everything, Yue Su not only didn't get angry, but instead had a smile on his face.
Yue Su's smile made Wu Bin feel scared, and he nodded repeatedly, "It was indeed these two people who did it."
"Since you admitted to adultery, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you must be stripped of your rank and given an eighty-year rod. Come on, let him be escorted to execution!"
The clerk's office first asked Wu Bin to make a pledge, and then the officer came forward, held Wu Bin down, and spanked him again. Wu Bin's buttocks had been beaten to a pulp, and the flesh was bruised after another eighty spanks. His buttocks were bloody and bloody, and his body could not even move.
Can't move.
With a sneer on his face, Yue Su added: "I can't fully believe your testimony. Everything can be confirmed only after Cui Gui and Diao Liang are brought to the case. But since you admitted adultery, you are an important suspect in this case.
Put them in jail and retry them later. Mrs. Feng, Su Cai, and He Fa are important witnesses in this case. They should be put in jail together and withdraw from the court!"

Yue Su and Jin Chan walked around to the back house. As soon as they entered the back house, they saw a servant sweeping the floor. The man swept very slowly, holding a broom and just wandering around in front of Yue Su's house. Yue Su
He was secretly happy in his heart, and deliberately kicked a stone in front of him, and said angrily: "What a Wu Bin, evading the important and taking the easy, really pisses me off!"
"Sir, there is no need to be angry. Once Cui Gui and Diao Liang are caught, everything will come to light." Seeing Yue Su getting angry, Jin Chan quickly tried to persuade him, thinking that it was because of matters in court.
Unexpectedly, Yue Su became even more angry. He sat down on a stone bench nearby, turned his back to the sweeping servant, patted the stone table and said, "What do you know? Cui Gui and Diao Liang are probably dead. Where can they go?"
Then arrest these two people and bring them to justice."
"Dead...yes, with the Wu family's style of doing things, they will probably silence these two people. What should we do now? Let Wu Bin go free?" Jin Chan sat next to Yue Su and saw Yue Su keep talking.
I glanced at him, guessing that there was another article in it.
"How can I let him go free? I deliberately put him in jail today just to get rid of harm for the people. His Wu family has always been against me and used power to bully others. Is it true that they are the only ones who know how to kill and silence, and I can only stick to the rules?
"
"Sir, what do you mean..."
"Tie Qiu, go tell Guo Kai and bring him from the back office." Yue Su suddenly said this.
Tie Qiu followed the order and soon brought Guo Kai to Yue Su. In the courtroom, Guo Kai had seen that Yue Su had made the decision for him and beat Wu Bin severely. However, there was no conclusive evidence to prove that Wu Bin committed murder.
"Uh-huh..." As soon as Wu Bin arrived, he knelt down and kowtowed to Yue Su.
Yue Su asked Tie Qiu to help him up and said: "Guo Kai, you also saw what happened in the court today. Because Cui Gui and Diao Liang were not captured, and there was not enough evidence to prove that Wu Bin killed your wife, we can only arrest him."
Temporarily imprisoned."
"Uh-huh..." Guo Kai nodded repeatedly, with a look of gratitude on his face.
"I want to avenge you wholeheartedly, but there is insufficient evidence. It is estimated that Cui Gui and Diao Liang have been silenced by the Wu family. After some time, Wu Bin will still be at large." At this point, Yue Su paused deliberately.
, and then said: "I want to ask you now, do you really want to take revenge?"
"Uh-huh..." Guo Kai nodded desperately.
"That being the case, I can give you a chance, but I've said it first. It's going to cost you your life. Are you willing?"
"Uh-huh..." After hearing this, Guo Kai nodded desperately. Now that he has no tongue, he has become a disabled person. For him, survival has lost its meaning. The only belief that supports his survival is revenge.
"If you have the courage, I can help you. You also heard Wu Bin's answer in the hall. He said he committed adultery with your wife. Can you believe it?"
Mr. Zhang has always been a virtuous man. If he said that his wife had committed adultery, how would Guo Kai believe him? His head would shake like a rattle, his teeth would bite fiercely, and his eyes would shoot out flames.
"You don't believe it, and I don't believe it either. The adultery is a lie, but the rape is true. Now Wu Bin has been beaten to pieces, and is being held in prison. He doesn't even have the strength to move. If you want to take revenge, this is an opportunity.
, I can lock you up with him, and I don’t need to teach you how to take revenge. So, are you willing?"
"Uh uh..." Guo Kai gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. It would be the best to be able to kill the enemy with your own hands.
Yue Su smiled and said: "It's just that after you kill Wu Bin, you can't live, otherwise you will implicate me, so you will have to die after revenge!"
"Uh-huh..." Guo Kai still nodded. For him, as long as he can get revenge, he will die! Living is no longer meaningful.
"Very good. I will grant you my wish. Jin Chan, we will put Guo Kai in prison later and put him in the same cell with Wu Bin. But remember, you don't have to rush to do it. After the third watch, the jailers will all fall asleep."
"Yes, sir." Jin Chan agreed. Guo Kai knelt down and kowtowed to Yue Su.
Yue Su asked Tie Qiu to take Guo Kai into prison first, and then returned to his room with Jin Chan. As soon as he entered the door, Yue Su lay down and observed carefully to see how the servant sweeping the floor would react.
The boy waited for Yue Su to enter the room, tiptoed to the door, and listened. Yue Su watched carefully and quietly walked to Jin Chan and said deliberately: "You stay in the prison tonight. When Wu Bin dies, Guo Kai
Commit suicide and come back."
"Understood." Jin Chan didn't understand why Yue Su came up with this idea, but because he hated the Wu family and sympathized with Guo Kai, he thought this was a hopeless solution.
After Yue Su finished speaking, he said no more and quietly slipped to the side to observe the servants outside the door. Seeing that there was no sound in the room, the servant slowly walked towards the back door. When he got to the door, he picked up the broom
Throwing it aside, he opened the door and left. Yue Su saw him leaving, turned around and walked to Jin Chan, and said: "The wall just now has ears, so it is very inconvenient to speak. Remember, after taking Guo Kai to the prison, there is no need to put the two of them in prison."
They will be locked up together and detained separately. Also, no matter who goes to the prison tonight, he will not be allowed to enter."
At this moment, Jin Chan was confused. She really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Yue Su was selling in his gourd. He wanted to ask, but Yue Su waved his hand at him and said with a smile: "No need to ask more, I will know tomorrow."

After the servant Xiaosi went out, he ran straight to the Wu Mansion. As soon as he arrived in front of the mansion, he met Xia Kuan coming in a sedan. Xia Kuan got off the sedan and saw the sweeping servant running over in a hurry, and wondered: "Xia Kuan
Four, why are you so panicked? Is there something urgent?"
"Something big is going to happen." Xiao Si gasped.
"What's the big deal?" Xia Kuan glanced around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go into the house and talk."
The two entered the Wu Mansion. Xiao Si took a few breaths and whispered: "Just now when I was sweeping the floor, I saw Mr. Yue walking into the back house angrily. He said that Mr. Wu was avoiding the important and taking the easy. There was nothing that could be done to him. Later, he said that he was going to do something for him.
The people wanted to get rid of the harm, so they found Guo Kai and told him that he would be put into Master Wu's prison tonight and he would take revenge on his own."
"What?" When Xia Kuan heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and said, "That's not bad. Let's go and notify Master Wu."
He quickly arrived at the flower hall of the Wu family and saw Wu Kui sitting on his upper arm with a gloomy look on his face. The maids and maids were hiding far away for fear of getting into trouble.
When Wu Kui saw Xia Kuan coming in, his expression softened a little. When he saw Xiaosi following behind, he hurriedly asked: "Xiaosi, why are you here? Is there any new news?"
Xiao Si was Wu Kui's specially sent eyes and ears in the yamen. He never went to the Sanbao Hall to get things done. As long as he came to the house, something would definitely happen.
"Master, something bad is going to happen..." Xiao Si immediately repeated what he had just said to Xia Kuan.
After hearing this, Wu Kui became angry. He slammed the table and said angrily: "Bin'er is seriously injured now and can't even move. It's okay to let Guo Kai stay with him!" After that, Wu Kui said
Kui's body swayed and he said to Xia Kuan: "Master Xia, what should we do?"
Xia Kuan thought for a while and said: "Yue Su's move is really amazing. Guo Kai is still guilty, so it is normal for him to be imprisoned. He killed the young master in prison and committed suicide again. This is evidence that he can't be fooled."
Put it on Yue Su's head. It's poisonous..."
After hearing this, Wu Kui gritted his teeth and said: "Don't say those useless things, hurry up and find a way to save my Bin'er."
Xia Kuan looked a little helpless and said: "The only solution now is for me to go to the prison and keep an eye on them to prevent them from taking action. But this is not a long-term solution. As long as Cui Gui, Diao Liang and Yue are not caught,
Su still has a reason not to let him go. It seems that I need to spend more money and ask the prefect to come forward to bail the young master out."
"Money is a trivial matter. I'm afraid that water from afar cannot quench the thirst that is near."
"Brother Wu, don't worry. Didn't Xiao Si say that he will take action at three o'clock? Then I will go to the prison and keep an eye on him, and we will wait until tonight. Brother Wu will send someone to bring the money to the magistrate's office now. The sooner the better."
Shame had no choice but to nod, and according to Xia Kuan's words, he ordered someone to prepare the money immediately. Then he looked at Xiao Si and said: "Go back quickly and keep an eye on me. I will send someone to wait for you at the back door of the county government office. If I see them taking action
, come out and notify immediately."
"I understand, little one." Xiaosi agreed and quickly returned to the county government office.
As soon as he returned to the county government house, Xiaosi heard that Jin Chan had just taken Guo Kai into prison. The reason why he let other servants see it was because he didn't deliberately reveal the news to him.
