The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Zhu Changyuan was sweating coldly from his forehead, he didn't bother to wipe it off, and said anxiously, "My lord!"

This shout was directed at Zhen Ling, who seemed a little nervous and sweated, and said: "This case is being heard by Mr. Yuan, and I am an observer. Dominic."

However, Zhu Changyuan and He Li looked at each other, and lowered their heads unwillingly.

He Li continued: "This person has an obvious feature. He has a mole the size of a grain of rice next to his ear, isn't it?"

Cang'er said: "Yes."

Heli said, "Is he on your right?"

Cang'er said: "Yes."

That's very obvious, Heli said: "Zhu Changyuan, but you?"

Zhu Changyuan raised his head and said in a panic, "This... my lord, I don't know what this child is talking nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with me..."

He Li said: "Mihun San is a common hallucinogenic poison in western Xinjiang. Although it does not kill people, it can easily hint at people and make them obey. Is this the poison you gave children to drink?"

Zhu Changyuan refused to admit it: "I don't know what poison is not poison."

He Li had expected his attitude.

He Li said: "Then let me ask you again, how did your wife and children die many years ago?"

Zhu Changyuan was taken aback for a moment, wondering why this matter was mentioned, and said in confusion, "It's... died of illness."

He Li turned his head and asked Mrs. Li: "This old man, please tell me what happened at that time in detail."

Mrs. Li was supported by Li Yuzhen, and said: "The day before Zhu Changyuan's wife and children passed away, I met them. His wife had many injuries, and his son Lang also had countless injuries. I felt strange at the time, so I asked his wife what the injuries were. How did it come about? His wife said it was due to a fall. But the fall did not cause so many bruises, I think Zhu Changyuan beat their mother and son..."

Zhu Changyuan blushed, held back his anger, tried his best to hold it back, and said, "Mrs. Li, I'm usually nice to you, why do you want to wrong me?"

Mrs. Li said: "I'm an old woman. I don't have anything to do to wrong you. I can't get any benefits. I just feel that something is wrong. Your wife and Erlang died too suddenly, and the injuries on their bodies have never been broken. , the old wound healed and a new wound appeared, I really can’t think of anything else other than what you did.”

Zhu Changyuan said: "Master, I am really wronged, they are my wife and children, how could I beat them?!"

He Li concentrated his attention, and said: "But your wife and children did not die of illness, but were beaten to death, and several bones were broken. How do you explain this?"

Zhu Changyuan was completely stunned: "What... what?"

He Li said: "The old man told us the place where your wife and children were buried. We checked overnight, and your wife and children's bodies were only bones, but the skull and arms were broken. Obviously, they were persecuted during their lifetime. This shows that you are lying! Zhu In the long run, you pretend to be a good person on the outside, but in reality you are extremely cruel, and you often beat your wife and children, you killed your wife and children by mistake that day, and you lied about their death, but is that so?"

Zhu Changyuan clenched his fingers, his face ashen.

He Li said again: "If you don't dare to admit it, I'll have someone bring the bones of your wife and children to the court, and let their wronged souls question you, how about it?"

When Zhu Changyuan heard this, he trembled with fright. He knelt down on the ground and stammered, "My...my lord, I... didn't kill them on purpose. I drank alcohol that day and lost my mind. I don't know what happened... the next day, after I sobered up, I saw them lying at home, their blood had dried up, and I... I was too frightened..."

He will always remember the scene of his wife and children lying in a pool of blood, even in countless nights, dreaming that they came to him crying with their bloody faces, Zhu Changyuan regretted it a long time ago, but the matter It has already happened, he doesn't want to go to jail, and he doesn't want to die...

Unexpectedly, after so many years, this matter was still discovered.

Mrs. Li couldn't take it anymore, she shed tears, and said angrily: "Beast, that's the lady who serves you. Every time there is something delicious, you don't keep it for you. You kill her, you Do you have any conscience at all!"

Zhu Changyuan lowered his head and let Mrs. Li scold him.

It was originally a case of missing children, but an old case was brought up. Zhen Ling was so surprised that he forgot to drink the tea that was in his mouth.

He Li said: "Zhu Changyuan, did you kill your wife and children?"

Zhu Changyuan clenched his fists and nodded.

He Li said: "You have some conscience towards your wife and children, so why do you beat them so often?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "I used to be addicted to alcohol. Every time I finished drinking, I felt a little uncontrollable, irritable and depressed, and wanted to vent. So I beat them. Later, after killing them by mistake, I tried to kill them again. No more drinking."

But it was too late, he had made a big mistake.

He Li said: "If you kill your wife and child, it is a capital crime. According to the law, you should be executed. But..."

Having said so much earlier, it's time to get back to the topic.

He Li said: "The recent disappearance of children is related to you? You really brought it!"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhu Changyuan will not hide it anymore: "I abducted them with drugs."

When he said this, everyone in the court cast their eyes on him, even the man in black glared at him.

Zhu Changyuan said: "I lived in Zhu Zhaisan for 40 years and lived in poverty. Since the death of my wife and children, I often thought of moving away because of their insomnia, but I was penniless and wanted to leave this place and start anew. It was easier said than done. Later, I inadvertently learned that some people wanted children, so they took the initiative to find them. The hallucinations were given to me. I followed the process they said, abducted the children step by step, and then sent them to them. Every success They gave me three gold bars for abducting a child."

He Li said, "How many children did you abduct in total?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "Seven, they want well-behaved children in their teens, and I always look for this kind of children."

He Li said, "Which seven are there?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "There are three in the north of the town, two in the south of the town, one in the west of the town and one in the east of the town, but I don't know their names."

He Li said, "What do they want the children to do?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "At first they didn't tell me. I only found out from the chatter of the servants who followed them. These big families just have special hobbies. They don't like women, but they like immature children. When children are in their hands, they will surely It is to be their plaything for their amusement."

Li Yuzhen covered her mouth, tears rolled in her eyes: "My brother Li Wang, you also abducted him?"

Zhu Changyuan raised his head, his eyes were gloomy, as if a layer of death was smeared, he said: "Yes. I remember him, I tied him at home, the medicine wore off, he broke free from the rope, and wanted to escape, I just knocked him out."

"brute!"

Li Yuzhen rushed over, grabbed Zhu Changyuan's hair, and kicked him a few times.Zhu Changyuan didn't move. Li Yuzhen calmed down a little after being pulled by the yamen servant, turned around and hugged Mrs. Li, and began to cry.

He Li said: "Where do they usually take the children, do you know whether those children are dead or alive?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "Among them there is someone who is highly skilled in martial arts. Almost every time he comes to my residence late at night to pick up the children. I don't know what happened to the children afterwards."

He Li said: "The man with high martial arts skills, but the man in black next to him?"

When Zhu Changyuan entered the gate of the government office, he saw the man in black and said without raising his head, "Yes."

When the man in black heard the identification, apart from his fierce eyes, he remained calm and his kneeling posture remained unchanged.

He Li continued to ask: "Then yesterday, don't you know the perjurer?"

Zhu Changyuan said unsurely, "I seem to have seen it once."

He Li said, "When did you meet?"

Zhu Changyuan said, "About two or three months ago."

Two or three months ago?

From this point of view, Zhu Changyuan was not aware of the plan of perjury to frame others.Zhu Changyuan is only in charge of delivering the children, and they won't tell him too many things.

He Li said: "Then who are they in your mouth?"
