Chapter 110 Follow the vines

Wang Fushun lay on the ground side, moaning in pain, and said, "I went to another place to do business two years ago. I just returned to Ningguo Mansion two days ago and lived at my brother Wang Tongzhi's house. This morning, my brother and I started arguing about something small. He wanted to kill me with a knife. I snatched him in anger and stabbed him a few times, and then ran back, preparing to get some money and escape, and you caught me. I didn't mean to kill him, but he wanted to kill me first."

Yang Qiuchi sneered and stared at Wang Fushun: "Do you think we really don't know what you did? You not only killed your brother, but also killed Jin Keying, the red-card dancer of Zuiyinglou! I will tell you honestly so that my flesh will not suffer!" Niu Baihu was beside him, shaking his thick arms to threaten, which scared Wang Fushun to tremble.

When Tongzong and others heard this, they were shocked. Tongzong asked, "Dare you ask..., is Jin Keying from Zuiying Tower really dead?... There has been almost a year or two before, and the madam said that she has gone back to her hometown to visit her relatives."

The governor next to him said, "I have long suspected that something is wrong. At that time, Miss Ying was so popular that she could save her relatives. What kind of good person is that madam? Will she let Miss Keying see her relatives for a year or two? Then her madam will not lose her life!"

"Yes!" The prosecutor in charge of the record also interrupted, "The madam told me the same way, and I was a little suspicious." Looking at Yang Qiuchi and asked, "Is Miss Keying really dead?"

It turns out that Jin Keying is really the red-card singer of Ningguo Mansion. Even the officials who are not very small in the prefectural yamen are familiar with her.

Seeing that these were all senior officials in the prefect's yamen, Yang Qiuchi told them that there was no problem. Besides, Wang Fushun's murder of his brother had to be handed over to them. He nodded: "Yes, after Miss Jin Keying was killed, her body was buried in a vegetable field in Guangde County." Yang Qiuchi pointed to the magistrate Song, "This is Song, the magistrate Song of Guangde County, and she is personally responsible for solving this case."

The magistrate looked up and down at Magistrate Song and shook his head: "You may have made a mistake. I know Magistrate Song..."

The magistrate Song slowly tore off the mask that was covering his face, revealing his true face. He bowed to the magistrate and said, "I am humble and I will meet the magistrate." The magistrate is a sixth-rank official. Therefore, the magistrate below the magistrate Song sees the etiquette.

The magistrate was surprised and said with a favor: "It's indeed the magistrate Song, why are you dressing like this?" He turned around and looked at Yang Qiuchi, "I don't know this person is..."

County Magistrate Song explained: "Bei, Bei Zhi and others were killed in Guangde County for the sake of Jin Keying. They came to Zuiyinglou to inspect clues. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the murderer, they dressed up like this. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet Wang Tongzhi and were killed." Yang Qiuchi said, "This is my Guangde County prison ground supervisor Yang Qiuchi Yang Guanshang."

Yang Qiuchi bowed and bowed. After hearing what Magistrate Song said, the judge and others suddenly realized it. They quickly returned the bow.

A small prisoner in Guangde County has long been spreading the case that he solved the major case. Everyone has heard of it. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was the magical prisoner. He knew that he had a different relationship with the new Qianhu Ma Duma Deputy of the Qianhu Office of Yingtian Prefecture. No wonder Niu Baihu was so awe of him. It seemed that it was because of Ma Duma. They didn't know that Yang Qiuchi was now the special envoy of the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Yang Qiuchi continued to ask Wang Fushun: "Jin Keying is you killing the land? Let me be honest, Zuiying Loudi Madam has already taken you to the concubine and told us about threatening to kill Miss Jin Keying. You'd better tell us the truth so that you won't suffer from the flesh!"

Wang Fushun originally thought he could conceal the murder of Jin Keying, but now it seems that he has a clear understanding of his own affairs. If he doesn’t say it, everyone knows it, it’s better to be honest, so as not to suffer immediate losses and strive for a good attitude, and maybe he can be treated lightly in the future.

Although the investigation agency's true and false interrogation method is simple, it can often have an immediate effect because it captures the criminal's psychology. The criminal's psychological defense line is often collapsed when he thinks that the other party has already understood everything.

That's what Wang Fushun thought now. Since everyone knows it, killing Wang Tongzhi is a death sentence anyway, and it doesn't matter whether he confesses or not to kill Jin Keying. If he doesn't, the Jinyiwei would probably not let him go, and the flesh and blood is really inevitable.

Wang Fushun had no choice but to say, "I'm a little trick. Two years ago, the villain coveted the beauty of Miss Jin and wanted to take her as a concubine, but was rejected by Miss Jin in public. I beat her in anger. Later, she didn't even want to meet me, and the madam couldn't do anything to her. I was so angry that I asked one of my subordinates to kill Miss Jin..."

"What's that guy's name? Where is it now?"

"I'm called Wu Xiang, nicknamed Mule. I don't know where he is now."

"You continue to say it first."

Wang Fushun continued: "I gave the mule seventy taels of silver and asked him to kill Jin Keying. He ran to Yingtian Mansion to wait for the news. After waiting for almost a month, the mule came to tell me that he had killed Jin Keying and had destroyed the body. I was relieved and scared, so I told my brother Wang Tongzhi about this."

"He was very angry and scolded me, saying that as a co-master, he must not hide it for me and wanted to arrest me. I knelt down and begged hard. My brother reluctantly agreed to hide it for me for the sake of his brother. After we discussed it, many people knew that I had a grudge against Miss Jin, and this matter would soon become suspicious of me. My brother asked me to hide, and I ran to the northeast."

"Some time ago, my brother wrote to me that no one had been following this matter. I was homesick, so I took the risk to come back and lived at my brother's house. I found out that Jin Keying was killed had not been revealed yet. It seemed that the mule hid the body very well, so I felt at ease."

"This morning, my brother Wang Tongzhi suddenly sent someone to call me from home to the yamen and told me that the Jinyiwei was investigating this matter. I was panicked when I heard this. The Jinyiwei intervened in this matter, and there was no place for me to be there at the end of the world."

"I want to run away, but my brother stopped me. He said that the madam in Zuiyinglou would probably confess this matter, and the Jinyiwei would find this place soon. Since the Jinyiwei intervened, I would not be able to escape. So he decided to send me to surrender to the Jinyiwei. He said that only in this way can his official position be saved, and only his official position is saved. Spending money outside may save my life."

"Of course I disagree, so we started arguing. He wanted to go out and ask someone to catch me. In a hurry, I picked up the paper-cutting knife on the desk and stabbed him. After that, I found blood stains on my feet. I wiped it with my own sweat towel and threw it away. Then I ran back secretly to get the things and prepare to escape. I didn't expect you to catch me so soon."

Yang Qiuchi secretly thanked that the little black dog was following him, otherwise it would be really hard to guess that it was Wang Tongzhidi's younger brother who killed him.

Judging from Wang Fushun's explanation, this was an unexpected crime. In order to save his official position, Wang Tongzhi spent money to protect his younger brother's life in the future. He decided to destroy his relatives for justice and arrest him immediately. In desperation, Wang Fushun committed the crime suddenly. Most of this sudden crime is irrational and incomprehensible under normal circumstances.

From this point of view, Wang Tongzhi was able to destroy his relatives for the sake of justice. No matter what the purpose was, he was still a relatively upright person. Yang Qiuchi regretted that he had been too strict with him before.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Where is your guy named Mule now? Or who may know where he is?"

"I really don't know. After he ran to Yingtian Mansion to tell me that I had killed Jin Keying, I absconded that day. I haven't heard of him since then. I asked my brother this time, but he didn't know either."

"Then where did he live when he was a guy?"

"Living at his sister-in-law's house." Wang Fushun said the address of Wu Xiang's wife's house.

It has been more than two years, and I don’t know if Wu Xiang is still at his sister-in-law’s house. Maybe he has fled abroad like Wang Fushun. No matter what, I have to go and see. Even if Wu Xiang escapes, as long as he can find his sister-in-law, he can still ask for some useful land information, which can narrow the scope and provide convenience for the sea capture of Wang Fushun.

The prosecutor took the record, signed and sealed Wang Fushun, and then entrusted him to the magistrate jail.

Yang Qiuchi and others were led by Niu Baihu and rushed to Wu Xiang's wife's house.

This is an exclusive courtyard, with the door locked from inside. The Jinyiwei has rich experience in arresting prisoners, and without instructions, he quietly surrounded the entire courtyard, waiting for the order to arrest people.

Niu Baihu waved his hand, and the two burly Jinyiwei men rushed into the door again. After only two strokes this time, the door was knocked open with a slam. Jinyiwei rushed into the room with embroidered swords in hand.

"Oh my God~!" A woman screamed in surprise from the room, and another man's voice: "What are you going to do?"

After the Jinyiwei rushed in, Song Yuner pulled Song Qing and rushed into the room in front of Yang Qiuchi and the others to watch the fun, but as soon as they rushed in, they immediately ran out and ran to the gate of the yard before stopping, their faces flushed.

Yang Qiuchi asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Song Yuner blushed and spat, saying, "You go in and see it yourself."

Yang Qiuchi and others entered the inner room in confusion, and then they realized the reason why the little girl ran out. The big red quilt on the kang was lifted aside, and the couple were naked and pushed down on the kang by the Jinyiwei and were tied with hemp ropes.

The man was in his twenties, with muscles and strong body. He was so scared that his face was pale and kept asking what was going on. The woman looked a little bigger, about her early thirties, with white skin, and a pair of huge and slightly drooping breasts on her chest were shaking as her body twisted.

It turned out that the other person was working on the bed, and the Jinyiwei suddenly broke into the door. The two of them were tied up before they even had time to take a piece of clothing to cover their shame. Yang Qiuchi laughed and scolded, "What's the point? Let's tie them up after wearing clothes."

The Jinyiwei was not so kind. They thought more about arresting prisoners, not respecting the privacy rights of prisoners, but quickly subduing the suspects to maximize their safety.

When Yang Qiuchi said this, the Jinyiwei had tied the two of them, and it was troublesome to loosen them. However, the little supervisor had to listen to the words of the two people. However, they had a way to take the robes of the two people next to them, put them on the two people, tie them with belts, cover them, and then pull them off the bed, and kick them one by one to kneel on the ground.

Of course these two people knew that the Jinyiwei was arrested. Who doesn’t know about the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty? These two people looked at Yang Qiuchi and the others in panic.

"You are Wu Xiang, nicknamed Mule?" Yang Qiuchi asked the man.

The man nodded.

After grabbing the right person, Yang Qiuchi breathed a light tone and asked the woman: "Who are you? Wu Xiang's wife?" Although the woman's body was covered by her dress, the pair of huge and slightly drooping breasts she had just seen still shook in Yang Qiuchi's mind.

The woman was so scared that she was trembling all over, so she could not speak. A Jinyiwei next to her kicked her: "Young lady, why don't you answer your question quickly!"

The woman screamed and was kicked to the ground. She moaned and stammered, "Mife Wu Mao, is it...yes...wu Xiang's...sister-law..."

Ah? Yang Qiuchi, Song Magistrate and others were shocked - the uncle and sister-in-law committed adultery? She was also caught in bed by the Jinyiwei!

Yang Qiuchi stepped forward, kicked Wu Xiang, and scolded, "Damn it, even my sister-in-law, are you still a human?" Before Wu Xiang could speak, Mao was already rushing to say, "My man..., my man... is dead."

Oh? Now Yang Qiuchi understood. It turned out that Wu Xiang's brother died and Wu Xiang had an affair with his sister-in-law. What kind of convention does this mean! Even if they truly love each other, there is no result. Even if the uncle and sister-in-law get married, it is not possible even in today's society. Although the law does not prohibit it, most people cannot accept it, let alone in the Ming Dynasty, they may be invaded with the pig cage.

In fact, after the death of my brother, my sister-in-law remarried me. It existed in the nomadic peoples in northern China, and even had a tradition. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of Han and the Xiongnu Chanyu were called brothers. After Emperor Gaozu died, the Maodun Chanyu wrote a letter to Empress Lu according to their customs and asked Empress Lu to marry her. The Yuan Dynasty's "Dayuantongzhijie·Huling" records many of the rebellious uncles who took his sister-in-law.

However, in the traditional customs of the Han people, it is a relative who is traitorous, which is not tolerated by the ethics of the common ethics. Influenced by the Han culture, this behavior was gradually banned in the late Yuan Dynasty. After the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, the younger uncle was re-banned in the Ming Dynasty laws. The "Ming Law" stipulates: "If the brother dies and the younger brother dies and the younger brother dies, each will be snatched."
