Maojiawa. In front of Bi Hu’s grave.

After Yue Su issued the order to open the coffin for another autopsy, the county and Huangming Town were abuzz. People rushed to Maojiawa in unison, just to see what the results of the second autopsy were.

Now the people in Yangshuo County basically know that Mr. Yue's body was deflated last time when he opened the coffin for autopsy, and the body was not injured at all. But this time he opened the coffin for autopsy again, so he is sure. Everyone wants to see, what exactly is Bi Hu's body?

Was he murdered by his wife? If there was any injury, where would it be? Of course, there are some who are gloating about his misfortune. I want to see if the injury is still not found, will Mr. Yue keep his word and resign?

.

Maojiawa has never seen so many people. The number of people, probably no less than 10,000 people, filled the small tomb site to the brim.

Yue Su brought Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Tong Zhou, Tie Qiu, Ruan Aoyue, Zhou, Liu, Hong Xuan and three squads of policemen to the cemetery. The onlookers voluntarily moved out of the way to allow Yue Su and others to come.

Go to Bihu's grave.

This time, Mrs. Liu was protective of Mrs. Zhou again and glared angrily at her daughter-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that there were always two guards around her, she would have probably stepped forward to fight Mrs. Zhou.

Yue Su ordered the earthworkers to dig out the tomb, take out the coffin, and open the coffin for autopsy. At the same time, a reed shed was set up next to it. Yue Su even had people carry the case up and place it under the reed shed. It seemed that it was

After preparation and verification, the trial will begin in public.

This time, the person in charge of the autopsy was no longer the coworker, but Ruan Aoyue. She took the initiative to ask Yue Su for this job. It was the first time that Yue Su saw such a bold girl, and he agreed with a smile.

The same process as last time, the body was carried under the reed shed, Ruan Aoyue put on gloves and personally checked Bi Hu's seven orifices. She was wearing men's clothes, so others didn't know that she was Lord Yue's wife. If those common people knew, this would

The news will definitely be more sensational than the results of the autopsy.

Jin Chan and Yin Zhu were all aware of this, but they were all stunned. They couldn't even imagine how the county magistrate's wife could be so bold.

Seeing Ruan Aoyue's meticulous look, Yue Su recalled Li Lan's figure again in his mind, and why the two figures looked so similar. But he never believed that Li Lan would be reborn like himself. And he couldn't put the rebirth into perspective.

If you tell anyone your secret, you can only keep it buried deep in your heart.

Ruan Aoyue's autopsy method is very simple, but very direct and effective. A magnet and a silver stick. The magnet only needs to be placed at the seven orifices of the deceased. If there is an iron object inside, there will definitely be a reaction. The silver stick is used to insert it.

Check the seven orifices to see if there are foreign objects in them.

During the inspection, everyone held their breath and stared at the corpse. Soon, all the seven orifices were checked for any mystery. At this time, everyone onlookers were stunned and looked at Yue one by one.

Su, especially Jin Chan and others, seemed to be a little stupid. They knew Yue Su's character, and if they really couldn't find out, they would definitely keep their promise.

However, there was no trace of nervousness on Yue Su's face. This was not because he was full of confidence in Ruan Aoyue, but because he was still recalling it.

Ruan Aoyue, who was doing the autopsy, seemed to be very calm and unhurried. She found no abnormalities in the seven orifices, and her eyes shifted to the top door of the corpse.

After death, all functions of the body will die except for one place, that is the hair. It will grow for at least two to three months, so Bi Hu's hair is very long. Ruan Aoyue put the magnet on Bi Hu's head.

Move it gently, and suddenly you hear a soft "pop" sound, and the magnet reacts.

Just when Ruan Aoyue placed the magnet on Bi Hu's head, the expression on Zhou's face completely changed. Lying on the stretcher, she knew that her death was coming.

"Reporting to your lord, the magnet reacted on Bi Hu's head. There should be iron objects inside the top door!"

Everyone was shocked by Ruan Aoyue's answer, and Yue Su also woke up from his memories. This time, everyone's eyes were focused on Ruan Aoyue's hand. They saw Ruan Aoyue gently pulling up the magnet, and soon, along with the magnet

Pulled up together, there is also a steel needle. Judging from the thickness of this steel needle, it should be used to hold the soles of shoes.

"My son... you died so miserably..." When Mrs. Liu saw the steel needle, she collapsed completely. She screamed and fell over, unconscious. The servants on the side quickly gave her

Among the masseurs, when Ms. Liu woke up, she rushed towards Mr. Zhou like crazy, "Damn bitch... you will give my son his life..."

Seeing the steel needle on Bi Hu's head, the officers could not stand it. They expressed deep sympathy for Mrs. Zhou, but more than hatred for Mrs. Zhou, a vicious woman. This time, they did not stop Mrs. Liu.

Let her rush towards the Zhou family, and the officer guarding the Zhou family seemed to have the same idea, and did not stop her at all, and allowed the old lady to come to the Zhou family.

"Bitch...I will fight with you...to give back my son's life..." Ms. Liu cried loudly, her hands on Ms. Zhou's body, and she desperately scratched her face, which was dripping with blood.

Zhou didn't resist at all. It can be said that even if she wanted to resist, she had the strength to do so. She was severely tortured yesterday and had lost 70% of her life. How could she still have any strength left.

Yue Su, Ruan Aoyue, Jin Chan and others saw this and did not say anything to stop them. They also wanted Mrs. Liu to vent her resentment. When they saw that it was almost done, Yue Su coughed heavily. The servants around Mr. Zhou understood.

, this means that enough is enough, can we really let Mrs. Liu punish Zhou to death? Everyone took action together and pulled Mrs. Liu aside.

"Bring the prisoner away yet!" Yue Su shouted after Mrs. Liu was held back.

The officer immediately put Zhou and Hong Xuan in front of the public case. Yue Su glared at Zhou and said loudly: "This is the so-called law of nature. Now that there are both witnesses and material evidence, Zhou, how can you deny it?

Don't do it quickly! Do you know that at this moment, even if I execute you, I am still redressing the grievances of the people and enforcing the law for the country!"

By this time, Mrs. Zhou also knew that it was the same whether she was attacked or not. The evidence was irrefutable. Even if she denied it again, it was just a so-called punishment. After all, she was the only one in the room before Bi Hu died. Now Bi Hu committed murder.

If it wasn't her, who else could have done it.

"Your Excellency, you are aware of everything, and the little lady is willing to recruit you." Mrs. Zhou, who had been scratched by Mrs. Liu, said energetically: "My husband usually opens a velvet shop in Huangming Town. Since the little lady came here, the business has been growing day by day.

She was thin, had three meals a day, and had a difficult diet. In addition, her mother-in-law was restless and noisy day and night, so the young woman should not have had evil thoughts and wanted to marry someone else. That day, Hong Xuan suddenly went to the store to buy goods and saw that he was young and beautiful.

Lustful thoughts suddenly arose, and she wanted to love him. Later, she visited and learned that his family was wealthy and had not yet married a wife. So every time he came here, he would try his best to seduce and have sex with her. Later, after she moved into her home, she happened to meet Hong.

The house was only separated by a wall, so I had the idea of ​​a cellar so that I could go in and out from time to time. In short, as the days passed and the friendship deepened, I suddenly realized that this was not a long-term solution. It could only be short-term on weekdays and we could not stay together for a long time, so I developed poisonous thoughts and thoughts.

Bihu was killed. But it happened that that day during the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a big dragon boat commotion. He brought his daughter back from playing, and after dinner, she was a little drunk. At that time, the little woman had a change of heart. After he fell asleep, she used a

The steel needle stuck in the sole of the shoe went straight into his head and heart, and he screamed and died. The above are all true confessions of the little woman, and there are absolutely no lies."

After listening to Zhou's narration, everyone present did not glare at her angrily. Some of them already yelled, "Damn whore!" "Bitch!" "Beat her to death!"...

When Mrs. Liu heard the end, she didn't even have the strength to cry, and fainted again.

Yue Su also gritted his teeth and asked again: "You cruel whore, why don't you hurt him elsewhere and just use this steel needle to drive into his crown?"

Zhou said: "Although it was fatal elsewhere, the injuries are obvious. The steel needle is an extremely thin object. The needle penetrates the inside and is protected by hair on the outside. The injury cannot be detected for a while. This is to prevent the case from being solved in the future."

"What a whore, but she is also very thoughtful, but the sky net is so sparse that you encountered me." Yue Su shouted again: "Then you murdered your husband, did you conspire with Hong Xuan, and why did you poison your daughter to mute her?

?”

After hearing this question, Mrs. Zhou was relieved, but Hong Xuan's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He turned to look at Mrs. Zhou and said pitifully: "You and I are in love, so you have to tell the truth.

"When he said this, tears almost flowed out. He understood very well that if Mr. Zhou wanted to conspire with the two of them, he would be doubtful.

Zhou turned her head and glanced at Hong Xuan, showed a wry smile, and murmured: "When we were in bed, you always said that you would live and die with me. Now that things have come to a close, why are you so afraid of death..."

"Hahahaha..." At this point, Mrs. Zhou laughed miserably, looked at Yue Su again, and said: "Hong Xuan really didn't know about this matter. He asked me several times later, but I didn't explain it to him. As for

The daughter was drugged to mute. This was when Hong Xuan came to the room that day and she saw her. He was afraid that she would gossip outside and leak the news, so he came up with the idea to drug her to mute with earwax. Everything he said was true. I will punish you.

that is."

"Let her draw a confession!"

The administrative clerk's office gave the written notes to Zhou, and after Zhou's signature, Yue Su pronounced the sentence at that time, "Zhou's murder of her husband was a heinous crime. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Ling Chi was punished. Hong Xuan committed adultery with Zhou, although it was not

He conspired to kill Bi Hu, but the murder was ultimately caused by him. The adultery was an ironclad case, and he knew it and failed to report it. It was a heinous crime and should have been punished with death. I wanted him to confess in court, and I had my words beforehand, so he should be given a lighter sentence.

To assassinate and join the Liaodong army."

***************************************************

**

After the case was cleared, the whole Yangshuo County was buzzing with discussions. Yue Su's fame spread like wildfire. People in the streets said that Yue Su was a rare good official in ancient and modern times, comparable to Bao Longtu and Hai Qingtian. No matter what kind of difficulties there were,

When a case comes to him, it will be brought to the bottom of the case.

In the society at that time, there were no news media, and personal fame was usually spread among the common people. Later, it was inevitable to exaggerate and describe Yue Su as an official who judged the sun by day and cut off the shade by night, just like Bao Qingtian.

Guangxi is close to Huguang, and Yue Su's reputation has been brought there by many small traders. On this day, two traveling businessmen were talking loudly in an inn outside Wuchang City.

On Yue Su's head. It was because Yue Su boasted that there is heaven and earth, which attracted many listeners. Coincidentally, this inn was the same inn where Yue Su met Li Qiongying, and also met Jin Chan and Tie Qiu.

The two were discussing Yue Su, and some in the audience naturally interjected and asked questions such as where Yue Su was from and what his fame was.

The waiter in the store always likes to join in this kind of fun. When he heard Yue Su, he immediately got excited. Without waiting for the two businessmen to answer, he pretended to be a know-it-all and started talking. "You guys said

I have met this Mr. Yue Suyue. He was still living in our inn. At that time, he had just graduated from high school and came to the city to thank his teacher. You don’t know that Mr. Yue couldn’t help but write an article.

Well, he’s also good at carpentry, and the tables and chairs he makes are of a style I’ve never seen before.”

On the table next to the businessman, there was a middle-aged scribe sitting, and there were two attendants beside him. This middle-aged scribe's surname was Xu Shaoji, and he was originally the censor of Jiangnan Province. Because next year is the year of Jingcha, and he is a Chu

Party, so he was promoted to the official position of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to assist in the affairs of the capital. Why he was promoted to an official at this time is actually very simple. Zheng Jizhi, the then Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, was also a member of the Chu Party. He came to Wuchang this time because he was on the right path.

After that, the second is to see an old friend - Li Wenzhang.

Xu Shaoji, if you say he is upright, there are no upright leaders in the officialdom these days. Everyone forms cliques for personal gain and opposes dissenters. It is not entirely true to say that he is not upright. When he was the censor, he was considered a man who dared to give direct advice.

minister.

Hearing that everyone was talking about Yue Su, he subconsciously kept the name in his mind. After lunch, he entered Wuchang City with his entourage. After entering the city, he went straight to Li Wenzhang's mansion.

Li Wenzhang has been having a very unhappy life these days, not for anything else but because of his precious daughter. Ever since Yue Su went to Yangshuo, Guangxi to take office, Li Qiongying wanted to see him, but how could Li Wenzhang agree, so Li Qiongying

Then she came up with the idea of ​​​​disguising herself as a man and sneaking out of the house. Unexpectedly, Li Wenzhang had learned from the past and was very strict. He also threatened that if his daughter disappeared, the servants responsible for serving her would have their hands chopped off. As a result, Li Qiongying's side

The servants all moved into action and began to stare at her, fearing that if the young lady was lost, they would be in trouble.

This year's provincial examination has been held. The person who passed the high school exam was Pei Yingjie, the son of Huguang deputy general Pei Xuan. As for how he won, he probably summed up the failure experience last time and spent all his capital this time.

Li Wenzhang was determined to marry his daughter to this Pei Yingjie, but Li Qiongying had preconceived ideas and would not do it even to death. Today she disguised herself as a man again and was about to sneak away. As a result, a servant tipped off the news and was blocked by his father. The father and daughter are now scolding each other in the study.

During the battle, Li Qiongying shouted the slogan, "I would rather die than live in ruins. If she had to be forced to marry Pei Yingjie, I would rather commit suicide."

When both father and daughter were angry, a family member sent word that Xu Shaoji wanted to see him. Li Wenzhang had to have someone watch at the study door to prevent his daughter from escaping. Then he straightened his clothes and went to the flower hall to receive Xu Shaoji.
