Yang Qiuchi was too lazy to care about these things and asked Wu Xiang: "Miss Jin Keying, do you know her?" After hearing this, Wu Xiang shivered all over and avoided Yang Qiuchi's gaze.

When Yang Qiuchi saw his expression, he knew that he had a ghost in his heart. He asked confidently: "Do you explain it yourself? Or wait for us to tear down a few bones before explaining it?" He paused and continued, "To be honest, your original shopkeeper Wang Fushun has already told you about killing Miss Jin Keying. The reason why I asked you to say it again is just to see if you are honest or not." After thinking about it, he laughed again, "But you are really honest, you don't run away after killing someone, and you are still staying at home and having sex with your sister-in-law."

When Wu Xiang heard this, even Manager Wang said something else to hide. He said with a look of slut, "Master, I said, I said that Manager Wang gave me seventy taels of silver to kill Miss Keying, but I didn't kill her. I really didn't kill her, so I didn't run away."

What? When Yang Qiuchi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and turned to look at Magistrate Song. Magistrate Song's expression, which was originally very relaxed, suddenly became serious. Magistrate Song asked: "What did you say?"

"I really didn't kill Miss Keying," Wu Xiang said tremblingly, "I went to find her and planned to kill her, but I searched for many days but couldn't find her. I spent some money at Zuiyinglou before I found it from the mouth of the turtle man, saying that Miss Keying had been out for several days and had never come back. Manager Wang kept urging me again. I had spent a lot of money on the money he gave, and I couldn't compensate. After thinking about it, Miss Keying had disappeared anyway, so I lied to Manager Wang and said that I killed it and the body had been dealt with, and Manager Wang wouldn't know. After I said this, Manager Wang believed it, and later he ran away."

Yang Qiuchi was stunned now. It wouldn't be such a coincidence? Could it be that this kid wanted to trick us? Yang Qiuchi gave Niu Baihu a wink. Niu Baihu understood and waved his hand. The Jinyiwei began to torture Wu Xiang again, beating Wu Xiang to death.

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, although he didn't know if Wu Xiang was lying now, Wu Xiang once wanted to kill Miss Jin Keying and went to search for it, which constituted a preparation for intentional homicide. It was not an exaggeration to be beaten. Besides, in the Ming Dynasty, torture was legal.

Wu Xiang was beaten to death by the Jinyiwei several times, but he still did not admit that he had killed Miss Jin Keying.

Finally, Niu Baihu used his method of cutting off his fingers and forcing confession. Wu Xiang's resistance was not as good as Wang Fushun, so he was twisted off one finger. He screamed and shouted repeatedly that he was willing to confess.

Song Magistrate and others breathed a sigh of relief, but when they asked about the murder process in detail, they found that Wu Xiang was talking about the land that was not right. Sometimes he said he was killed with a knife, sometimes he said he was strangled to death, sometimes he said he was killed in Zuiyinglou, sometimes he said he was killed outside Ningguo Mansion City, sometimes he said that the corpse was thrown into the river, and sometimes he said that the corpse had been burned, and even the vegetable field in Guangde County, where the murder was buried was not correct.

Niu Baihu was so angry that he broke Wu Xiang's two fingers and fainted from the pain several times, but he still made up his mess, which was not in line with the actual situation.

The magistrate Song was helpless and began to induce sacrifices again. Wu Xiang's spirit was completely destroyed. He followed the magistrate Song's words and admitted everything.

Judging from the interrogation process, Yang Qiuchi became more and more sure that Wu Xiang was not the murderer at all.

Under normal circumstances, when the murderer is tortured and forced to confess, he usually tells the truth in order to avoid the unbearable great pain. Because he tells lies, he will continue to suffer such pain. Doing so will not help to avoid pain. Secondly, even if he confesses randomly, he will admit his guilt and beheaded according to the confession.

The reason why Wu Xiang made up randomly was because he was tortured and wanted to avoid this pain, but he did not know the real situation of the murder, so he could not recruit real things, so he had to make up randomly or follow the interrogator's questioning.

Master Jin heard that Wu Xiang was willing to confess, and he found paper and pen to take a record. Yang Qiuchi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't write it for now." In fact, Master Jin and Magistrate Song knew from Wu Xiang's random confession that Wu Xiang's ill-telling words were not right. Wu Xiang probably didn't really kill Jin Keying, but he was tortured. He admitted it randomly. If the case was really decided like this, it might become the second case of Long Zixu's wrong killing his wife. It would probably not be so easy to wipe his butt after the wrong judgment.

Magistrate Song and others had no idea and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly. He had no better idea. He could only wait until he returned to Guangde County tomorrow to see. Master Jin sent someone to find out what the situation was like on the note and the surname Liu, and see if there were any new clues.

After being busy, it was almost evening. Yang Qiuchi ordered Wu Xiangdi's sister-in-law Mao to release him. He didn't want to care about the adultery of their uncle and sister-in-law, and asked the people from Ningguo Mansion to take care of him. He asked Niu Baihu to send the Jinyiwei to temporarily lock Wu Xiang in the Jinyiwei prison, find a doctor to help him connect the broken finger bones, and take him back to Guangde County to be detained tomorrow morning, and then deal with it after the truth of the case was revealed.

Everyone was very depressed. They thought the bone case had been solved, but unexpectedly, the cooked duck still flew.

Seeing that everyone was unhappy, Song Qing smiled and said, "I said I asked you guys to go swimming in the flower boat, let's go now."

This proposal quickly restored the spirit of the magistrate Song. After the death of the magistrate Song's brother, Song Qing and her mother had been alone. The magistrate Song blamed himself for not taking good care of the orphan and widowed mother. Now he also wanted to take this opportunity to visit Song Qing's in-laws and see how this marriage was.

After listening to Song Qing's suggestion, Yang Qiuchi looked even more depressed and said lightly: "You guys go, I'm a little tired, I want to rest early." He turned around and walked forward slowly. Long Zixu pulled Chunya and said: "Let's accompany the young master, you guys go."

Song Yuner also said, "I will accompany my brother, and I won't go."

Song Qing was a little embarrassed, but she had already said it. She didn't know what to do, and her face was flushed with anxiety. Magistrate Song smiled and said, "Qing'er, since everyone is tired today, then let's go somewhere else."

Niu Baihu was unhappy when he saw Yang Qiuchi. He said, "Brother Yang and a few of us will live in the yamen of our official Baihu Office tonight. I will treat you well. If you want to see the singing and dancing, I will invite the dancers to the yamen to dance. Let's drink while drinking." He ran forward a few steps and walked side by side with Yang Qiuchi. He said, "Brother Yang. I'll give you a lot of fun tonight. Do you think you're okay?" Yang Qiuchi smiled reluctantly and nodded.

Song Qing took a few steps and followed Yang Qiuchi. She looked at his faint face and opened her mouth to speak. She looked at Niu Baihu and others next to her, but she couldn't speak.

This was nothing, but Song Qing's behavior magnified Yang Qiuchi's grievance and his grief surged into Yang Qiuchi's heart. He didn't want others to see him like this, so he accelerated his pace and walked forward.

Song Qing couldn't keep up and shouted anxiously: "Brother Qiuchi. Brother Qiuchi, how can I wait for me?" He caught up with him and pulled Yang Qiuchi's lichen sleeves. Yang Qiuchi stopped. When the others saw that they had something to say, they walked in front and waited for them.

Song Qing gritted her teeth: "Brother Qiuchi, I'm sorry, it's me that I'm not good about you, I'm angry... I didn't mean it..." It's okay for Song Qing to apologize. This apology instead made Yang Qiuchi's heart feel more and more bitter. He looked at Song Qing's beautiful face, wondering why he was so sad. Could it be that this is the legendary jealousy?

In modern society, Yang Qiuchi couldn't find a girlfriend, so he never tasted the jealousy. He came to the Ming Dynasty by resurrecting his corpse. Feng Xiaoxue, Song Yuner, Bai Sumei, and Qin Zhihui all liked and admired him like the idol of the emperor's superstar. Even the concubine Mei Niang, the county magistrate, was trying to seduce him.

Song Qing, a beautiful girl like a doll, just met her, and secretly kissed him on a moonlit night, which aroused his feelings. Then he realized that she already had a boyfriend, but she was from a wealthy family. Needless to say, she must be a handsome young man like Yushu. Song Qing had just asked her boyfriend to invite them to a flower boat, and the five flavor bottle in Yang Qiuchi's heart was finally overturned.

Yang Qiuchi is actually a sentimental person. He often thinks that he chose the wrong career. Logically, forensic doctors need to face mostly cold corpses, which must not be influenced by emotions. However, Yang Qiuchi often devotes himself to the virtual emotional world and cannot extricate himself. When he was in middle school, it was popular to read Qiong Yao's novels. A girl in her class borrowed a book "Gathering and Distance" for him. After reading it, he was infected by the love story in the novel for three days.

Yang Qiuchi looked up at the distance under the sunset, trying hard to shift his thoughts away and let himself think. In modern cities, it is difficult to see such a beautiful and pollution-free sunset scenery.

Song Qing looked at the distance of Song Magistrate Song and others. Seeing that their backs were facing this side, she obviously didn't want them to feel embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Yang Qiuchi's side face, bit her teeth, and made up her mind. She suddenly grabbed Yang Qiuchi's arm, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Yang Qiuchi's mouth quickly.

Just now, the iceberg in Yang Qiuchi's heart collapsed instantly. He turned his face, looked at Song Qing, and whispered: "What are you doing?"

"I don't know." Song Qing looked at him with big eyes, her round face turned red with shame, and her dimples were even more charming. "This marriage was decided by my parents when I was very young, but... but I like... I like being with you." Song Qing looked at Yang Qiuchi boldly, her eyes shining brightly with the sparks of the first love.

It turns out that the women of the Ming Dynasty were not all virtuous ladies like stupid ducks, and they were also moved by the initiative to pursue love. There are many novels from the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as "The Flowers", which describes the story of the girl Yurong who boldly pursues the handsome scholar Pang Wenying, which is very telling.

"But you will marry him eventually..." Yang Qiuchi felt a pain in his heart.

Song Qing's eyes also dimmed, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

When Yang Qiuchi saw Song Qing like this, he felt a little guilty. He couldn't make a decision in ancient marriages. Of course, Yang Qiuchi understood this. His words were too childish. What would you do if you asked Song Qing to elope with him? Do you cry and ask for a break-up? Let her, a girl's house, deal with things that she has no right to deal with at all. She is too selfish.

Yang Qiuchi also looked at Song Magistrate and the others in the distance, and suddenly found that Song Yuner was standing aside alone, not knowing what he was thinking. Yang Qiuchi had no time to think about Song Yuner's thoughts now, and then he took Song Qing's hand and said: "Okay, don't think about this matter, let's go." Song Qing nodded, and the two caught up with Song Magistrate and the others side by side.

Now Yang Qiuchi has time to think about Song Yuner’s thoughts. Yang Qiuchi has already felt deeply about the attachment of this unruly daughter to Yang Qiuchi, but for some reason, he just didn’t call Song Yuner, but he just felt very happy with her.

Yang Qiuchi secretly looked at Song Yun'er. Seeing that she ignored her, she wanted to say a few words to her, but she was afraid that Song Qing would have any ideas, so she pressed the gourd to float up, and the two ends were no longer humans. Yang Qiuchi suddenly realized that she was sandwiched between these two girls, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The group came to the Baihu Office of Niubaihu, not far from the magistrate's office. After settling down, Niubaihu held a banquet and invited many singers to sing, dance, and drink to cheer them up. They were so good at flattering. They drank until late at night before they parted.

The next morning, Yang Qiuchi and others got up and washed up. Niu Baihu had already been waiting in the living room. Yang Qiuchi and his friends were about to start their way back to Guangde County after breakfast. At this time, the door came to report that the magistrate of Ningguo Mansion was visiting. Niu Baihu hurriedly welcomed him out.

Didn’t this prefect go out for something? He came back so soon. No wonder the deputy secretary of the prefectural committee was killed in the office. This was a major incident. As the top leader of the prefectural committee secretary, he had to come back overnight to deal with it.

Song Yuner and Song Qing are female relatives and cannot attend such official meetings in the officialdom. They retreated to the back hall. Of course, Chunya also avoided the back hall. Long Zixu was Yang Qiuchi's follower, followed by Yang Qiuchi. Everyone waited in the living room for a while, and then they saw Niu Baihu and the prefect walking in side by side.

Niu Baihu smiled and led the prefect to Yang Qiuchi, and said, "Mr. Zhou, Beizhi introduces a good friend to you," he pointed to Yang Qiuchi, "This is a good friend of Beizhi, Yang Qiuchi, who solves the case as a god." He then introduced Yang Qiuchi, "Brother, this is the parent official of our Ningguo Mansion, and Zhou Gonggong Master Zhou."

Yang Qiuchi bowed and bowed: "I'll meet with the governor!"
