Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss
Chapter 38 3 more in 1
Her eyebrows are curved, her almond eyes are round, and the corners of her mouth are playfully raised when she speaks. She looks very smug, very lively and dazzling, and the surroundings seem to lose color compared with her.
Bai Yutang retracted his gaze and gave a low laugh.
When Su Yuan uttered harsh words, "Take the path of animals, and let animals have nowhere to go", Bai Yutang also uttered harsh words to her.
"Then you have to be careful, I only kill animals."
When Su Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and snorted disdainfully. He seemed completely unafraid of Bai Yutang's provocation.
"I'm not afraid of you! One day, I will let you know what it means that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves before, and the ancestors were photographed on the beach."
Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, and realized that the "ancestor" Su Yuan mentioned was referring to him.She is only two years younger than him, and it is useless to think he is old because of her youth and arrogance?
Bai Yutang took a look at Su Yuan, who was nearly a head shorter than him and had a petite figure, and it was difficult to seriously care about her.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if the little girl likes to say a few big words and be frank, so let her do it.So Bai Yutang just smiled and didn't answer Su Yuan's words.
"I've been tossing around in the middle of the night, I'm hungry." Su Yuan muttered in a low voice.
Now that he was almost at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan couldn't express his regret.She shouldn't have come back directly just now, she should have gone to the Zhouqiao Night Market to get some snacks to fill her stomach first.There are too many things to do this morning, she is not in the mood to cook, but she also does not want to eat the same breakfast in Kaifeng Mansion for several days.
The two walked to the side door of Kaifeng Mansion, but Bai Yutang didn't enter the mansion, but walked straight through the door and continued walking.
"Fifth Master, we've arrived." Su Yuan thought that Bai Yutang was distracted and didn't notice it.
"Aren't you hungry?"
Su Yuan was happy, she would naturally not refuse the good thing of going to fill her stomach, and immediately followed Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang led Su Yuan into a nearby alley.After walking a few steps into the alley, Su Yuan could smell the fragrance.With her sensitive nose, she immediately found out that the fragrance came from the depths of the alley.Walking to the end, I saw a couple busy in front of the stoves, which were built in the courtyard.There are two lanterns hanging at the door, and there are simple wooden tables and benches inside and outside the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, there is a stall for breakfast in this kind of place, which is hidden too deep.Yuan has lived in Kaifeng Mansion for so many years, and of course she has never walked this way, so she has never paid attention to it.
It was very early at this moment, and the genius was just about to dawn, not many people came to eat, but there were three of them.These three people seem to be regular customers, chatting with the couple from time to time.
Su Yuan saw two big pots boiling mutton soup and mutton bone porridge on the stove.The big bone sticks lie in the bubbling white porridge, which looks delicious and nourishing.You can also add vegetables to the porridge, as long as you tell the boss in advance, when serving the porridge, sprinkle a handful of shepherd's purse into it while it is hot, and stir it, the fragrant lamb bone porridge is white and green, it looks refreshing and your appetite will whet your appetite .
There is also a larger pot, which is the most powerful feature of their breakfast stall: 馉饳.
The method of 馉饳 is actually a bit similar to dumpling wontons. You have to roll out the skin, add stuffing, and then wrap it up, but it is more troublesome than dumpling wontons. After the square skin is folded in half, the two corners are put together again. After being kneaded into the shape of a flower bud, deep-fried in a pan, and then strung up with bamboo sticks. ①
The outer skin of the 馉饳 is golden and crisp, as beautiful as a flower bone, and the meat filling remains tender and juicy. If you bite a piece of 馉饳 into the mouth with a bamboo stick, it will make a crisp sound, and the more you chew, the more delicious it will be.
It is best to drink two skewers of glutinous rice noodles with mutton bone porridge. One is dry and the other is thin, and the combination of meat and vegetables will not worry about filling the stomach that has been hungry since early in the morning.
It was the first time for Su Yuan to eat such a delicious 馉饳, and he would not let it go easily. Two skewers came and two skewers seemed to be non-stop. Finally, the owner of the morning vegetable stall and his wife had a deep impression on Su Yuan. .Seeing that this girl is slender and exquisite, well-behaved, unexpectedly she has a big belly.The tall and slender boy who came with him couldn't compare to her in appetite.
After the two left, the couple quietly counted the leftover bamboo sticks that the pretty girl ate.
Good guy, a total of thirty lots!
This can't be said, if it is said, the girl might not be able to get married.
Seeing Su Yuan rubbing his stomach contentedly, Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing.In fact, he has always been curious about where all the food that Su Yuan ate went to.He has seen people who are born with a big appetite, but those with Su Yuan's appetite are either very tall or very fat.It was the first time I saw someone as petite and slender as her.
When he saw this situation for the first time, Bai Yutang thought that Su Yuan's life was too hard in the past, and when the conditions were better, he started to eat revenge, so he became so good.Because the time is still short, so the body has not yet gained weight.
But after such a long time, seeing that Su Yuan was still as edible as when he first saw her, he still saw her maintain the same figure as before, without changing at all.
After careful observation, Bai Yutang even found that Su Yuan's waist seems to have become thinner recently.
This makes sense?
After all, 馉饳 is deep-fried, and if you eat too much, your mouth will get oily.Su Yuan was thinking about how to wipe his mouth, when he found Bai Yutang staring at him without blinking.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Seeing how you can eat so much, when will you grow into a chubby pig?" Bai Yutang asked.
Su Yuan glared at Bai Yutang, and pulled out a white handkerchief from his sleeve pocket without hesitation.After rubbing her mouth hard twice with the veil, she threw the veil to Bai Yutang.
"Give it back to you!"
Bai Yutang caught it subconsciously, but saw obvious oil stains on the white veil.He immediately seemed to be stained by something dirty, his face was ugly, and his body was even a little stiff.
He instinctively wanted to throw away the handkerchief, but seeing Su Yuan give him an annoyed look, Bai Yutang felt very puzzled, so he forgot about it for the time being.
Su Yuan rolled his eyes at him, snorted, and walked into Kaifeng Mansion with a flick of his sleeves.
Bai Yutang then noticed that the corner of the square handkerchief in his hand had the word 'white' embroidered with a white thread.Only then did he know that this handkerchief was the one he gave to Su Yuan back then, the one she used to wrap dim sum.
Bai Yutang threw away the handkerchief as soon as he shook his hand.If it's dirty, it should be thrown away.
At this moment, Bai Fu came out with a smile.
Bai Yutang looked at Bai Fu coldly, seeming to have deep meaning.
Bai Fu immediately realized that his fifth master was in a bad mood, and quickly suppressed the bright smile on his face.
"What's your order?" Generally speaking, when Fifth Master had this expression, it meant something was up.Something means that there is an order, and he needs to run errands to do some work.
"Go," Bai Yutang's voice seemed to be icy, "Pick it up."
Bai Fu was stunned, turned his head to look around, and then noticed a white handkerchief on the ground.He trotted to pick up the veil, and when he was about to ask his fifth master what to do with the veil, he realized that the fifth master was no longer in front of him.
Bai Fu saw the stains on the veil, and knew that it would not be good to just give the veil to Fifth Master.But since Fifth Master asked him to pick up the handkerchief, he obviously had no intention of throwing away the square handkerchief.If he wanted to return this square handkerchief to Lord Wu, he had to wash the dirty parts of the handkerchief.
This is strange, Fifth Master always throws away the dirty handkerchiefs before.After all, the family conditions are good, and there is never a shortage of handkerchiefs.
Bai Fu, who couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, so he obediently went to wash the veil.Fortunately, the oil stain was just applied, so I washed it with soap locust in time, and rubbed it gently a few more times, and finally it was washed clean.
It's windy this morning, and it doesn't take an hour for the veil to dry.Bai Fu hurriedly folded it neatly and went to send it to his fifth master.
After Bai Yutang saw the veil, his face was still unhappy, and he tapped the table with his slender index finger.
It's all morning.Bai Fu really didn't understand why his fifth master was still in such a bad mood, he moved his steps quietly, holding his breath, planning to leave quietly.
"you say--"
"The villain is here!" Bai Fu hurriedly agreed in shock, only to realize that the Fifth Master did not call his name.
Bai Yutang slowly turned his eyes to look at Bai Fu.
Bai Fu immediately felt like a weak chicken being stared at by an eagle, who might be captured and torn to pieces at any time.He hurriedly tightened his shoulders and lowered his head to the deepest point. If only he could really bury his head under the wings like a chicken.
"Why would a person be angry with another person for no reason?" After a while.Bai Yutang asked suddenly.
Bai Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, co-authoring his fifth master was angry because others were angry with him, making him think that he would be punished for doing something wrong unintentionally.
"The villain doesn't feel angry for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding in it. The fifth master may not have noticed it."
Bai Yutang corrected: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine."
Bai Fu: "..."
As an extraordinary domestic servant, one of the most powerful stunts he must have is: to see through without revealing.
Well, it's your friend.
Bai Fu immediately changed his way of asking: "Then this friend of the fifth master didn't notice anything unusual? What was the general situation at that time? I wonder if the fifth master can help your friend describe it?"
"But just say a few words, it was clear that it was fine a moment ago, but the person who turned around became annoyed and even glared at him." Bai Yutang said.
"It must be something wrong with what you said, which annoyed him." Bai Fuma said.
"no problem."
Bai Fu looked at Bai Yutang in disbelief.
After Bai Yutang took a sip of his tea, he coughed lightly, "Anyway, I'm listening, so I don't think there's a problem."
Bai Fu said tactfully: "Maybe this is okay for Wu Ye and his friends, but is there a problem for others? People are different. For example, Wu Ye can't stand being dirty, but It's a tolerable thing for others."
Only then did Bai Yutang suddenly understand the reason for Su Yuan's sudden anger, could it be because of his phrase "little chubby pig?"But what's wrong with saying that?He was just joking.
"Fifth Master, if it's convenient, you might as well retell what your friend said to the villain, and the villain will help analyze and analyze it." Bai Fu said cautiously.
Bai Yutang thought about it, of course he wouldn't say who it was, and just repeated that sentence to Bai Fu.
When Bai Fu heard this, he probably guessed that the person who was angry was Su Yuan, and continued to ask Bai Yutang cautiously: "Is the friend who dare to ask the fifth master's friend a woman?"
"What if it's a woman, so what if it's not?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
Bai Fu: "If it's a woman, who doesn't think it's beautiful to be slender? It's not happy to say that it's fat, and it's even more serious to say it's a fat pig. Even if you add a 'small', it won't work."
"Just kidding."
"There are good and bad jokes. If you joke that someone looks like a fairy, that would be great." Bai Fu enthusiastically suggested.
Bai Yutang glanced at Bai Fu coldly, curled his lips and gave a slight snort.What would he say if this kind of sycophant said it?
……
The next day, Kaifeng Mansion received a report that there was a murder case in Hongxian Lane.
When Su Yuan heard that it was Red Line Alley again, he couldn't help but think of the case of Ma Sui beating Tang's last time.
"Why is it Red Line Lane again? Could it be that this alley has bad feng shui and the people living in it are violent?" A yamen servant heard the Red Line Lane, and also remembered the case two days ago, and couldn't help but sighed.
When everyone arrived at the scene of the crime, they found that the place of the murder was Ma's house, and the deceased was Ma Sui's wife, Tang Shi.
Tang was dressed in white and clean obscene clothes. He was lying flat on the couch, with clean hands placed on both sides of his body. The body had cooled down, and there was obvious rigor. It was obvious that he had been dead for a while.
There is a neatly stacked quilt on the inside of the bed.There is also a big cushion, brand new, which is located beside Tang's side.
This kind of large cushion is generally used to lean on the body when sitting.People with frail health like Tang's have to lie on the couch all the time when recuperating. When they need to eat or take medicine, they have to sit up. It is much more convenient and comfortable to use a cushion to lean against.
There was a semi-old round stool beside the bed, and an empty bowl was placed on the stool, with a small amount of black soup remaining at the bottom of the bowl.You can tell when you smell it closely, it is a decoction.
After a preliminary examination, Fang Fu told Su Yuan that Tang died of suffocation.The time of death was during the daytime today, at least half an hour ago.
The person who made the report was Tang's sister-in-law, Zhu Shi. Tang's elder brother sent his wife, Zhu Shi, to take care of her in the past two days because he heard that his sister had been beaten.That big cushion was brought by Mrs. Zhu when she came to deliver meals to Mrs. Tang at noon yesterday, in order to make her body more comfortable when she got up to eat.
At noon today, Mrs. Zhu came to deliver food to Mrs. Tang as usual, but found Mrs. Tang lying motionless on the bed, unable to get up no matter how much she called her.
Mrs. Zhu got closer, and after pushing and shoving twice, she realized that Mrs. Tang had already passed away from anger.She screamed in shock, and attracted the help of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Miao and Ge who lived next door, and accompanied her to Kaifeng Mansion to report the crime.
Mrs. Zhu was waiting for orders outside the hospital at this time, crying all the time in anger, scolding Ma Sui for being a bastard with a conscience who killed her sister-in-law.
"During the diagnosis, the doctor said that although she was seriously injured, she could recover as long as she was taken care of carefully. How can she leave suddenly! God damn Ma Sui, killed my poor sister-in-law." Zhu cried tears Hengliu, sighing that he couldn't go back and explain to her husband.
Suddenly Zhu's body shook, and he seemed to faint from crying.Miao Shi and Ge Shi quickly supported Zhu Shi and patted her on the back.
"It's no wonder you, who would have thought—" Miao sighed, "We heard the screams in the middle of the night before yesterday and reported to the police, thinking we could save her."
Mrs. Zhu cried even harder. Seeing Su Yuan coming out, she rushed forward and knelt down.She begged Su Yuan to arrest Ma Sui quickly and avenge her sister-in-law!
"The housewife's sister-in-law died only after being severely injured by him."
Zhu Shi wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and choked up.
"Women's women know a little bit about the law, and they know that there is a saying in the yamen to protect the innocent. It has only been two days since the incident happened, and my sister-in-law has died. Then Ma Sui is the murderer of the women's sister-in-law!"
The yamen does have a guarantee that when the perpetrator hurt the victim, he did not directly cause the death of the victim.If the victim may have been seriously injured, and the condition of the injury cannot be determined for the time being, the victim shall be observed within ten days, and the crime shall be decided according to the degree.If during this period, if the victim dies due to injury, it will be counted as a homicide, and the perpetrator will bear the responsibility of killing for life. ②
Mrs. Zhu kowtowed and begged Su Yuan to arrest Ma Sui and pay for her sister-in-law's death.
"It's right for the yamen to protect the innocent, but your sister-in-law didn't report the case. It doesn't constitute assault and injury in the yamen, so it's useless to protect the innocent." Su Yuan said.
Zhu Shi was shocked, "How could this happen?"
"We asked your sister-in-law personally that night, and she publicly denied that it was Ma Sui who beat her, claiming that she had accidentally bumped her and caused the injury." Su Yuan explained.
Mrs. Zhu shook her head, weeping and defending: "That was just an excuse. She lied to get her off the horse at that time. Surely the officials knew about it?"
Immediately, Mrs. Zhu thought of Mrs. Miao and Mrs. Ge's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and asked them to testify that it was indeed her sister-in-law who was beaten by Ma Sui.
The two nodded in agreement, and both spoke for Mrs. Zhu.
Su Yuan asked the two of them, "Did you witness Ma Sui beating the Tang family with your own eyes?"
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shook their heads, expressing that they only heard Tang's screams and begging for mercy, but they did not witness Ma Sui hurting Tang.
The murder happened during the daytime, and it happened to be noon at this moment, so people from every household were at home.The news spread quickly among the neighbors, and many people heard the news and came to watch.
The conversation between Su Yuan and Mrs. Zhu could be heard clearly by the people watching outside.
The common people discussed how such a thing happened. It was clear that the horse was beating the man, and finally killed the man, but the murderer could not be convicted.
"Then Tang is not a fool, how could he keep screaming for help after being injured in the middle of the night?"
"That's right, it's clearly being beaten."
"Why don't people in the government care about human relationships?"
……
More and more onlookers condemned the government government for its ruthless handling of the case, which allowed the perpetrators to go free.
Su Yuan didn't say anything to the people who accused him.She turned around, turned her back to the people, and after a while gradually lowered her head.
Looking at her coldly, she seemed to be affected by the people's accusations, and she was a little depressed. She even raised her hand to wipe her face. Could it be that she was so wronged that she was secretly crying?
Bai Yutang came on horseback, saw this scene from a distance, and immediately reprimanded the people who were discussing it.
"The yamen has procedures in handling cases. The Tang family does not make a confession. How can Ma Sui be arrested without evidence? You have shown your ability now. It is all the yamen's fault. Then I have no evidence at this time." It’s okay to take you for no reason?”
The onlookers fell silent immediately, not only because what Bai Yutang said made sense, but also because they felt that this evil spirit in white was too aggressive, his face was frosty, and his eyes were sharper than knives.They deeply felt that if they didn't obey this evil god, they might really be taken into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion and dealt with for the crime of deceiving people with evil words.
"Oh, yes, it's not the Yamen's fault."
"She didn't have the guts to tell the truth and report the case, but she hurt herself instead."
A woman with a hot temper spoke directly to the surrounding women: "When it comes to life-threatening matters, you can't just let it go just because it's your own man! If you offend a man, you can still remarry, but what if you lose your life?" It's all gone."
The women echoed one after another, sighing that this is the reason.
……
Fang Fuzuo came out after examining the corpse, and said to Su Yuan, "There are no strangle marks on his neck, and there are slightly swollen and bruised cheeks on both sides of his neck. I guess the murderer probably covered the deceased with that cushion." mouth and nose, suffocate him to death."
But this statement is not rigorous, because the situation under the clothes of the deceased has not yet been checked.This aspect needs to be done by Su Yuan. It is not convenient for Fang Wu as a man.
"Since he was suffocated to death, with such obvious features on his face, we can basically conclude that this is the cause of death." Su Yuan still went in to check the condition of other parts of Tang's body.
Su Yuan found that the bruises on her body had lightened a lot. When she touched the bruises on her back, she could feel that the ointment was evenly applied on it.
Bai Yutang heard that Tang's death was due to suffocation, so he knew that this was clearly murder, and it did not involve Baogu at all.
"You were wronged by those people, why don't you explain?"
This was the first time Bai Yutang talked to Su Yuan after the incident of 'Little Fat Pig'.Before speaking, Bai Yutang couldn't help but wonder if this girl was still angry with him.
Originally, if Su Yuan didn't take the initiative to talk to him, Bai Yutang didn't plan to talk to her either.It was just a joke that day, what was it?Girls sometimes have too weird thoughts and are a little unreasonable.
But when he came just now, he saw that Su Yuan seemed to have been wronged, so he rushed forward without saying a word.Seeing her now, for some reason, she didn't want to care about the previous things at all, so she directly opened her mouth to talk to Su Yuan.
"I think this misunderstanding is good. Taking advantage of these people's willingness to hold grievances, I can spread the word and let more women know the truth of resisting after being bullied, otherwise the bitter fruit can only be swallowed by themselves."
Although the circumstances of this case are completely different from what they thought, the reasoning is correct, and there is nothing wrong with promoting it more by the way.In this incident, although Tang did not miss the opportunity to find the murderer because he did not report the crime.But Tokyo is such a big city, and there are more than one family of husbands who beat their wives. If something like this happens one day, it will be really resentful and helpless.
Bai Yutang grasped the point of Su Yuan's words, to resist being bullied?
Could it be that because he said "little fat pig" that day, she deliberately took out that square handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then threw it to him?The more Bai Yutang thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.
The little girl is so powerful that she will take revenge on him.
"If I want to spread this truth easily, I have a way." Bai Yutang said.
Su Yuan immediately had a guess: "A tabloid?"
Bai Yutang nodded.
"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid that people may not be willing to write it."
"Money can turn ghosts around, not to mention they have precedents." Bai Yutang meant that the tabloids had accepted bribes before, and of course it would be easy to use money to buy them this time.
"Then who will pay for the money?" Su Yuan's wallet hurts when he mentioned the money.
"What do you think?" Bai Yutang asked back, apparently with the intention of darkening himself.
Su Yuan immediately smiled and thanked Bai Yutang.As long as the money comes from Bai Yutang, then he is the most handsome and good-looking!
"Then I'll handle this right away. You can handle this case alone?"
"Small case, of course."
After watching Bai Yutang leave, Su Yuan asked the yamen servant if he had found the person who attacked Tang's in the alley that day.
When the Tang family mentioned the attack the day before yesterday, Su Yuan asked the government servants to look for the assailant.At that time, because I was afraid that there would be another perpetrator of the flesh-cutting case, I didn't let this point go.
"According to Tang's description, we have already found the person who is the most suspect. We wanted to arrest him today and ask her to identify him, but we didn't want Tang's person to die."
The painter drew a portrait of the attacker according to Tang's description. After interrogating the street vendors, the yamen servants learned that the attacker in the portrait would pass by an alley every day, so they planned to wait there today.
Su Yuan asked the yamen servants to continue their plan and arrest the attacker first.
Ma Sui was brought back by the yamen servant at this time.
He has to go out of the city every day to work at the pier, because the distance is relatively far, so the time for the yamen servant to bring him back is relatively late.
As soon as Zhu Shi saw Ma Sui, he yelled at him for having no conscience.
Ma Sui shook his head and said: "It's not me, it's really not me. She was fine when I left in the morning, and told me to come back early."
"You fart!" Zhu was so angry that tears fell again, "You have been married for two years and have no children, and you think she is useless, so you want to divorce her, but because you are greedy for her dowry, you can't get it." The money has to be paid, so it has been delayed. The day before yesterday you took advantage of her inexplicable beating and beat her hard. If she hadn't been kind enough to report the crime, you would have beaten her to death long ago!"
"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't want to kill her." Ma Sui argued in a panic.
"At this time, you still don't admit it. Do you have a conscience? Then do you dare to swear that you have no plans for my sister-in-law? You have never been greedy for her dowry. You are sincerely good to her. .If there are lies, you will cut off your children and grandchildren, and you will die!"
Mrs. Zhu directly poked at Ma Sui's weakness: no children.
Ma Sui was in a panic, faltering and hawing, not daring to swear.
The onlookers criticized him more and more.
Ma Sui was flustered for a while, and hurriedly said to Su Yuan and the others: "I went out to work early in the morning, and everyone at the dock can testify for me."
"But there is no evidence to prove that Tang is still alive after you left."
"She's alive!" Ma Sui argued.
"As a suspect, what you said cannot be regarded as evidence, but can you tell others that Tang was still alive at that time?" Su Yuan asked.
Ma Sui thought for a while, then slowly shook his head, saying no.
"She has been lying in the house because she is bedridden and ill. If she can go out, the neighbors around will be able to see her."
"You still have the face to say, if you didn't beat her like that, why would she not be able to leave the house!" Zhu scolded.
Ma Sui lowered his head, and it seemed that he also regretted his original impulse.
At dusk, the yamen servants arrested the assailant who attacked the Tang family.
At this time, Ma Sui was kneeling in the Kaifeng mansion hall for trial, and Zhu and her husband were there.
When the assailant was brought up, Ma casually recognized him: "Why are you?"
When Zhu and her husband saw that Ma Sui knew this man, they immediately became excited.
"So it was the two of you who came together to plot against my sister! You ordered him to beat my sister first, and then you used this as an excuse to beat her, what a vicious method!" Zhu's husband, who is also Tang's elder brother, scolded through gritted teeth. road.
Su Yuan then interrogated the assailant, asking him that he was ordered by Ma Sui to attack the Tang family.
The name of the attacker was Peng Sanliang. After being stunned for a moment, he kowtowed to Su Yuan and said, "Yes, the villain was ordered by Ma Sui to slap Tang."
Ma Sui was furious, so angry that his body almost bounced off the ground immediately, "You are lying! When did I instigate you! Peng Sanliang, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"Why, you still want to beat people in the lobby of Kaifeng mansion, and force them to change their confessions?" A yamen servant saw that Ma Sui jumped, and there was a posture of attacking Peng Sanliang, and immediately knocked him down with a wooden stick, telling him to be more honest. .
"Peng Sanliang, do you know what will happen if you give false testimony in Kaifeng Mansion?"
Su Yuan could tell at a glance that Peng Sanliang was lying, because his acting skills were really clumsy.
When he heard about the situation, he was obviously stunned. After that, he didn't panic about being exposed, nor did he try to cover up and shirk responsibility, so he directly admitted that he was ordered by Ma Sui.Simply so neat that people think that he and Ma Sui have a grudge?
After Peng Sanliang heard Su Yuan's deduction, he trembled in fright, the truth was found out so easily.He hesitated for a while, and finally heard that he might be punished as an accomplice if he perjured himself, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly told the truth.
When Peng Sanliang was born, he was very thin and small due to premature birth, hence the name Sanliang.But in the process of growing up, he was often ridiculed because he grew up much thinner than his peers. Peng Sanliang was unconvinced and worked hard to eat, drink and exercise. When he finally grew up, his figure was not much different from that of ordinary men. But the body is still a little weaker, and it is even worse than the tall and strong Ma Sui.
Like Ma Sui, he is a porter at the dock, but because he lacks strength and does little work, Ma Sui and others always take the lead in making fun of him.
Since childhood, Peng Sanliang hated others who made fun of him because he was thin and weak, but Ma Sui and others always used such words to ridicule him, and slowly there was hatred in their hearts.
"The reason why Cao Min went to slap Tang was because Cao Min had been bullied by him too much, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. Cao Min couldn't beat him, and didn't he beat his wife? So Cao Min thought of beating his wife to get revenge.
After following Ma Sui home that day, Cao Min knew what his wife Tang looked like, and then followed Tang, and on impulse that day, ran to slap Tang.But Cao Min regretted it after beating him, so Cao Min just hit him once and ran away immediately. "
After Peng Sanliang explained the process tremblingly, he kowtowed and kowtowed in repentance and begged for mercy.
It was hard for the yamen servants to sympathize with Peng Sanliang's pity after hearing this, they only thought he was hateful and detestable.After being bullied, he didn't have the guts to deal with Ma Sui, who was stronger than him, so he found Tang Shi, who was weaker than him, to bully him.In fact, there is no essential difference between him and Ma Sui, they are both unscrupulous bastards who like to bully the weak.
Ma Sui stared round his eyes, and shouted at Peng Sanliang: "Well, you Peng Sanliang, you actually did something bad to provoke our husband and wife! If it weren't for your slap, I wouldn't doubt Tang, I didn't doubt Tang. , and wouldn't—"
"My lord, it's clear! You see, he admitted that he attacked my sister-in-law and killed my poor sister-in-law." Mrs. Zhu shouted to the first judge Zhou who had been drooping his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.
The old judge Zhou was startled by Zhu Shi's sudden sharp shout, he twisted his body, frowned, looked at Zhu Shi, and then looked at Su Yuan, wondering why Su Yuan didn't stop him.
Zhu's frightening kung fu is better than Su Yuan's.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't plead guilty!" Ma Sui immediately denied, "Don't think you can frame me just because Judge Zhou fell asleep."
"I didn't!" But Mrs. Zhu really wanted to take advantage of Mr. Zhou's dozing off to immediately follow the charge.
After the old judge Zhou took a sip of tea in a gentle manner, he corrected his tone slowly: "I didn't sleep."
Both Zhu Shi and Ma Sui looked back at Mr. Zhou with disbelief.Logically speaking, the prisoners under trial would be afraid of the majesty of the judges and dare not look directly at them. It was because old judge Zhou seemed too easy-going and kind that they were so bold.
Judge Zhou didn't mind this, and ordered Su Yuan to continue the trial.
Su Yuan then ordered everyone to shut up, and she could only answer when she asked questions.
"If anyone makes a noise without authorization, he will slap his mouth thirty times."
Zhu Shi and Ma Sui immediately shut their mouths tightly and became quiet.
Judge Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yuan again.The eyes clearly said: You have this trick, why didn't you use it earlier, and you just said it, but it greatly delayed the official's meditation after the table, and he was in a daze!
The reason why Su Yuan allowed them to speak freely was to observe the situation of these people, and to observe what clues or flaws would be revealed in the process of accusing each other.
"Where did you beat Su Shi?" Su Yuan asked Peng Sanliang.
"It's in Red Line Alley, not far from her home. There was no one in the alley at that time, so I took the opportunity to make a move." Peng Sanliang replied honestly.
"Then how did you know about your wife being attacked?" Su Yuan asked Ma Sui again.
"When I came back that day, a seven or eight-year-old child in the alley told me that Tang had been slapped by a man. The child also comforted me that he is a man and must vent his anger for his wife."
Ma Sui didn't know the boy's identity, he knew all the children in the alley, so he could confirm that the boy was not from Hongxian Alley.
He didn't think much about it at the time, he just thought that the boy came to play elsewhere, and happened to see the situation, so he simply said those words to him.
"Could it be that this boy was ordered by others?" Ma Sui felt that Su Yuan was particularly concerned about this situation, so he also speculated.
"Naturally, it was instigated by others." Su Yuan affirmed.
Ma Sui, Zhu Shi, Peng Sanliang and others all expressed surprise.
Judge Zhou twirled his beard and nodded, "That's right, I was indeed instructed."
"Who ordered it, and why did you do such a thing?"
"Naturally, seeing an opportunity, I took the opportunity to kill someone, and you just happened to be the dead ghost." Su Yuan immediately ordered the suspect to be apprehended and brought to justice.
Ma Sui was completely dumbfounded, stunned again and again.
Zhu and his wife were also dumbfounded.
"Isn't the murderer Ma Sui? It's clear that he beat up the woman's sister-in-law, causing her death." Zhu asked puzzled.
"Ma Sui's beating will not put Tang's life in danger. The doctor's diagnosis was made earlier, and I also took her pulse."
Chu knew the doctor's diagnosis, but she thought it was because the doctor was inaccurate in diagnosing the disease at the time, and Tang's subsequent sudden onset of other symptoms would cause her to die.After all, Tang died suddenly on the second day of convalescence, and the only thing that can be directly associated with her is that she was beaten by Ma Sui.In addition, she didn't like Ma Sui's actions before, so she naturally believed that Ma Sui was the one who killed Tang.
When they learned that Tang was actually killed by suffocation, Zhu and his wife were completely stunned.They had no idea that the murderer was someone else, and they always thought that the murderer could only be Ma Sui.
After a stick of incense, the suspect was escorted to the hall.
Ma Sui, Zhu Shi and others were all surprised when they saw it.
Bai Yutang retracted his gaze and gave a low laugh.
When Su Yuan uttered harsh words, "Take the path of animals, and let animals have nowhere to go", Bai Yutang also uttered harsh words to her.
"Then you have to be careful, I only kill animals."
When Su Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and snorted disdainfully. He seemed completely unafraid of Bai Yutang's provocation.
"I'm not afraid of you! One day, I will let you know what it means that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves before, and the ancestors were photographed on the beach."
Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, and realized that the "ancestor" Su Yuan mentioned was referring to him.She is only two years younger than him, and it is useless to think he is old because of her youth and arrogance?
Bai Yutang took a look at Su Yuan, who was nearly a head shorter than him and had a petite figure, and it was difficult to seriously care about her.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if the little girl likes to say a few big words and be frank, so let her do it.So Bai Yutang just smiled and didn't answer Su Yuan's words.
"I've been tossing around in the middle of the night, I'm hungry." Su Yuan muttered in a low voice.
Now that he was almost at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan couldn't express his regret.She shouldn't have come back directly just now, she should have gone to the Zhouqiao Night Market to get some snacks to fill her stomach first.There are too many things to do this morning, she is not in the mood to cook, but she also does not want to eat the same breakfast in Kaifeng Mansion for several days.
The two walked to the side door of Kaifeng Mansion, but Bai Yutang didn't enter the mansion, but walked straight through the door and continued walking.
"Fifth Master, we've arrived." Su Yuan thought that Bai Yutang was distracted and didn't notice it.
"Aren't you hungry?"
Su Yuan was happy, she would naturally not refuse the good thing of going to fill her stomach, and immediately followed Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang led Su Yuan into a nearby alley.After walking a few steps into the alley, Su Yuan could smell the fragrance.With her sensitive nose, she immediately found out that the fragrance came from the depths of the alley.Walking to the end, I saw a couple busy in front of the stoves, which were built in the courtyard.There are two lanterns hanging at the door, and there are simple wooden tables and benches inside and outside the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, there is a stall for breakfast in this kind of place, which is hidden too deep.Yuan has lived in Kaifeng Mansion for so many years, and of course she has never walked this way, so she has never paid attention to it.
It was very early at this moment, and the genius was just about to dawn, not many people came to eat, but there were three of them.These three people seem to be regular customers, chatting with the couple from time to time.
Su Yuan saw two big pots boiling mutton soup and mutton bone porridge on the stove.The big bone sticks lie in the bubbling white porridge, which looks delicious and nourishing.You can also add vegetables to the porridge, as long as you tell the boss in advance, when serving the porridge, sprinkle a handful of shepherd's purse into it while it is hot, and stir it, the fragrant lamb bone porridge is white and green, it looks refreshing and your appetite will whet your appetite .
There is also a larger pot, which is the most powerful feature of their breakfast stall: 馉饳.
The method of 馉饳 is actually a bit similar to dumpling wontons. You have to roll out the skin, add stuffing, and then wrap it up, but it is more troublesome than dumpling wontons. After the square skin is folded in half, the two corners are put together again. After being kneaded into the shape of a flower bud, deep-fried in a pan, and then strung up with bamboo sticks. ①
The outer skin of the 馉饳 is golden and crisp, as beautiful as a flower bone, and the meat filling remains tender and juicy. If you bite a piece of 馉饳 into the mouth with a bamboo stick, it will make a crisp sound, and the more you chew, the more delicious it will be.
It is best to drink two skewers of glutinous rice noodles with mutton bone porridge. One is dry and the other is thin, and the combination of meat and vegetables will not worry about filling the stomach that has been hungry since early in the morning.
It was the first time for Su Yuan to eat such a delicious 馉饳, and he would not let it go easily. Two skewers came and two skewers seemed to be non-stop. Finally, the owner of the morning vegetable stall and his wife had a deep impression on Su Yuan. .Seeing that this girl is slender and exquisite, well-behaved, unexpectedly she has a big belly.The tall and slender boy who came with him couldn't compare to her in appetite.
After the two left, the couple quietly counted the leftover bamboo sticks that the pretty girl ate.
Good guy, a total of thirty lots!
This can't be said, if it is said, the girl might not be able to get married.
Seeing Su Yuan rubbing his stomach contentedly, Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing.In fact, he has always been curious about where all the food that Su Yuan ate went to.He has seen people who are born with a big appetite, but those with Su Yuan's appetite are either very tall or very fat.It was the first time I saw someone as petite and slender as her.
When he saw this situation for the first time, Bai Yutang thought that Su Yuan's life was too hard in the past, and when the conditions were better, he started to eat revenge, so he became so good.Because the time is still short, so the body has not yet gained weight.
But after such a long time, seeing that Su Yuan was still as edible as when he first saw her, he still saw her maintain the same figure as before, without changing at all.
After careful observation, Bai Yutang even found that Su Yuan's waist seems to have become thinner recently.
This makes sense?
After all, 馉饳 is deep-fried, and if you eat too much, your mouth will get oily.Su Yuan was thinking about how to wipe his mouth, when he found Bai Yutang staring at him without blinking.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Seeing how you can eat so much, when will you grow into a chubby pig?" Bai Yutang asked.
Su Yuan glared at Bai Yutang, and pulled out a white handkerchief from his sleeve pocket without hesitation.After rubbing her mouth hard twice with the veil, she threw the veil to Bai Yutang.
"Give it back to you!"
Bai Yutang caught it subconsciously, but saw obvious oil stains on the white veil.He immediately seemed to be stained by something dirty, his face was ugly, and his body was even a little stiff.
He instinctively wanted to throw away the handkerchief, but seeing Su Yuan give him an annoyed look, Bai Yutang felt very puzzled, so he forgot about it for the time being.
Su Yuan rolled his eyes at him, snorted, and walked into Kaifeng Mansion with a flick of his sleeves.
Bai Yutang then noticed that the corner of the square handkerchief in his hand had the word 'white' embroidered with a white thread.Only then did he know that this handkerchief was the one he gave to Su Yuan back then, the one she used to wrap dim sum.
Bai Yutang threw away the handkerchief as soon as he shook his hand.If it's dirty, it should be thrown away.
At this moment, Bai Fu came out with a smile.
Bai Yutang looked at Bai Fu coldly, seeming to have deep meaning.
Bai Fu immediately realized that his fifth master was in a bad mood, and quickly suppressed the bright smile on his face.
"What's your order?" Generally speaking, when Fifth Master had this expression, it meant something was up.Something means that there is an order, and he needs to run errands to do some work.
"Go," Bai Yutang's voice seemed to be icy, "Pick it up."
Bai Fu was stunned, turned his head to look around, and then noticed a white handkerchief on the ground.He trotted to pick up the veil, and when he was about to ask his fifth master what to do with the veil, he realized that the fifth master was no longer in front of him.
Bai Fu saw the stains on the veil, and knew that it would not be good to just give the veil to Fifth Master.But since Fifth Master asked him to pick up the handkerchief, he obviously had no intention of throwing away the square handkerchief.If he wanted to return this square handkerchief to Lord Wu, he had to wash the dirty parts of the handkerchief.
This is strange, Fifth Master always throws away the dirty handkerchiefs before.After all, the family conditions are good, and there is never a shortage of handkerchiefs.
Bai Fu, who couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, so he obediently went to wash the veil.Fortunately, the oil stain was just applied, so I washed it with soap locust in time, and rubbed it gently a few more times, and finally it was washed clean.
It's windy this morning, and it doesn't take an hour for the veil to dry.Bai Fu hurriedly folded it neatly and went to send it to his fifth master.
After Bai Yutang saw the veil, his face was still unhappy, and he tapped the table with his slender index finger.
It's all morning.Bai Fu really didn't understand why his fifth master was still in such a bad mood, he moved his steps quietly, holding his breath, planning to leave quietly.
"you say--"
"The villain is here!" Bai Fu hurriedly agreed in shock, only to realize that the Fifth Master did not call his name.
Bai Yutang slowly turned his eyes to look at Bai Fu.
Bai Fu immediately felt like a weak chicken being stared at by an eagle, who might be captured and torn to pieces at any time.He hurriedly tightened his shoulders and lowered his head to the deepest point. If only he could really bury his head under the wings like a chicken.
"Why would a person be angry with another person for no reason?" After a while.Bai Yutang asked suddenly.
Bai Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, co-authoring his fifth master was angry because others were angry with him, making him think that he would be punished for doing something wrong unintentionally.
"The villain doesn't feel angry for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding in it. The fifth master may not have noticed it."
Bai Yutang corrected: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine."
Bai Fu: "..."
As an extraordinary domestic servant, one of the most powerful stunts he must have is: to see through without revealing.
Well, it's your friend.
Bai Fu immediately changed his way of asking: "Then this friend of the fifth master didn't notice anything unusual? What was the general situation at that time? I wonder if the fifth master can help your friend describe it?"
"But just say a few words, it was clear that it was fine a moment ago, but the person who turned around became annoyed and even glared at him." Bai Yutang said.
"It must be something wrong with what you said, which annoyed him." Bai Fuma said.
"no problem."
Bai Fu looked at Bai Yutang in disbelief.
After Bai Yutang took a sip of his tea, he coughed lightly, "Anyway, I'm listening, so I don't think there's a problem."
Bai Fu said tactfully: "Maybe this is okay for Wu Ye and his friends, but is there a problem for others? People are different. For example, Wu Ye can't stand being dirty, but It's a tolerable thing for others."
Only then did Bai Yutang suddenly understand the reason for Su Yuan's sudden anger, could it be because of his phrase "little chubby pig?"But what's wrong with saying that?He was just joking.
"Fifth Master, if it's convenient, you might as well retell what your friend said to the villain, and the villain will help analyze and analyze it." Bai Fu said cautiously.
Bai Yutang thought about it, of course he wouldn't say who it was, and just repeated that sentence to Bai Fu.
When Bai Fu heard this, he probably guessed that the person who was angry was Su Yuan, and continued to ask Bai Yutang cautiously: "Is the friend who dare to ask the fifth master's friend a woman?"
"What if it's a woman, so what if it's not?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
Bai Fu: "If it's a woman, who doesn't think it's beautiful to be slender? It's not happy to say that it's fat, and it's even more serious to say it's a fat pig. Even if you add a 'small', it won't work."
"Just kidding."
"There are good and bad jokes. If you joke that someone looks like a fairy, that would be great." Bai Fu enthusiastically suggested.
Bai Yutang glanced at Bai Fu coldly, curled his lips and gave a slight snort.What would he say if this kind of sycophant said it?
……
The next day, Kaifeng Mansion received a report that there was a murder case in Hongxian Lane.
When Su Yuan heard that it was Red Line Alley again, he couldn't help but think of the case of Ma Sui beating Tang's last time.
"Why is it Red Line Lane again? Could it be that this alley has bad feng shui and the people living in it are violent?" A yamen servant heard the Red Line Lane, and also remembered the case two days ago, and couldn't help but sighed.
When everyone arrived at the scene of the crime, they found that the place of the murder was Ma's house, and the deceased was Ma Sui's wife, Tang Shi.
Tang was dressed in white and clean obscene clothes. He was lying flat on the couch, with clean hands placed on both sides of his body. The body had cooled down, and there was obvious rigor. It was obvious that he had been dead for a while.
There is a neatly stacked quilt on the inside of the bed.There is also a big cushion, brand new, which is located beside Tang's side.
This kind of large cushion is generally used to lean on the body when sitting.People with frail health like Tang's have to lie on the couch all the time when recuperating. When they need to eat or take medicine, they have to sit up. It is much more convenient and comfortable to use a cushion to lean against.
There was a semi-old round stool beside the bed, and an empty bowl was placed on the stool, with a small amount of black soup remaining at the bottom of the bowl.You can tell when you smell it closely, it is a decoction.
After a preliminary examination, Fang Fu told Su Yuan that Tang died of suffocation.The time of death was during the daytime today, at least half an hour ago.
The person who made the report was Tang's sister-in-law, Zhu Shi. Tang's elder brother sent his wife, Zhu Shi, to take care of her in the past two days because he heard that his sister had been beaten.That big cushion was brought by Mrs. Zhu when she came to deliver meals to Mrs. Tang at noon yesterday, in order to make her body more comfortable when she got up to eat.
At noon today, Mrs. Zhu came to deliver food to Mrs. Tang as usual, but found Mrs. Tang lying motionless on the bed, unable to get up no matter how much she called her.
Mrs. Zhu got closer, and after pushing and shoving twice, she realized that Mrs. Tang had already passed away from anger.She screamed in shock, and attracted the help of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Miao and Ge who lived next door, and accompanied her to Kaifeng Mansion to report the crime.
Mrs. Zhu was waiting for orders outside the hospital at this time, crying all the time in anger, scolding Ma Sui for being a bastard with a conscience who killed her sister-in-law.
"During the diagnosis, the doctor said that although she was seriously injured, she could recover as long as she was taken care of carefully. How can she leave suddenly! God damn Ma Sui, killed my poor sister-in-law." Zhu cried tears Hengliu, sighing that he couldn't go back and explain to her husband.
Suddenly Zhu's body shook, and he seemed to faint from crying.Miao Shi and Ge Shi quickly supported Zhu Shi and patted her on the back.
"It's no wonder you, who would have thought—" Miao sighed, "We heard the screams in the middle of the night before yesterday and reported to the police, thinking we could save her."
Mrs. Zhu cried even harder. Seeing Su Yuan coming out, she rushed forward and knelt down.She begged Su Yuan to arrest Ma Sui quickly and avenge her sister-in-law!
"The housewife's sister-in-law died only after being severely injured by him."
Zhu Shi wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and choked up.
"Women's women know a little bit about the law, and they know that there is a saying in the yamen to protect the innocent. It has only been two days since the incident happened, and my sister-in-law has died. Then Ma Sui is the murderer of the women's sister-in-law!"
The yamen does have a guarantee that when the perpetrator hurt the victim, he did not directly cause the death of the victim.If the victim may have been seriously injured, and the condition of the injury cannot be determined for the time being, the victim shall be observed within ten days, and the crime shall be decided according to the degree.If during this period, if the victim dies due to injury, it will be counted as a homicide, and the perpetrator will bear the responsibility of killing for life. ②
Mrs. Zhu kowtowed and begged Su Yuan to arrest Ma Sui and pay for her sister-in-law's death.
"It's right for the yamen to protect the innocent, but your sister-in-law didn't report the case. It doesn't constitute assault and injury in the yamen, so it's useless to protect the innocent." Su Yuan said.
Zhu Shi was shocked, "How could this happen?"
"We asked your sister-in-law personally that night, and she publicly denied that it was Ma Sui who beat her, claiming that she had accidentally bumped her and caused the injury." Su Yuan explained.
Mrs. Zhu shook her head, weeping and defending: "That was just an excuse. She lied to get her off the horse at that time. Surely the officials knew about it?"
Immediately, Mrs. Zhu thought of Mrs. Miao and Mrs. Ge's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and asked them to testify that it was indeed her sister-in-law who was beaten by Ma Sui.
The two nodded in agreement, and both spoke for Mrs. Zhu.
Su Yuan asked the two of them, "Did you witness Ma Sui beating the Tang family with your own eyes?"
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shook their heads, expressing that they only heard Tang's screams and begging for mercy, but they did not witness Ma Sui hurting Tang.
The murder happened during the daytime, and it happened to be noon at this moment, so people from every household were at home.The news spread quickly among the neighbors, and many people heard the news and came to watch.
The conversation between Su Yuan and Mrs. Zhu could be heard clearly by the people watching outside.
The common people discussed how such a thing happened. It was clear that the horse was beating the man, and finally killed the man, but the murderer could not be convicted.
"Then Tang is not a fool, how could he keep screaming for help after being injured in the middle of the night?"
"That's right, it's clearly being beaten."
"Why don't people in the government care about human relationships?"
……
More and more onlookers condemned the government government for its ruthless handling of the case, which allowed the perpetrators to go free.
Su Yuan didn't say anything to the people who accused him.She turned around, turned her back to the people, and after a while gradually lowered her head.
Looking at her coldly, she seemed to be affected by the people's accusations, and she was a little depressed. She even raised her hand to wipe her face. Could it be that she was so wronged that she was secretly crying?
Bai Yutang came on horseback, saw this scene from a distance, and immediately reprimanded the people who were discussing it.
"The yamen has procedures in handling cases. The Tang family does not make a confession. How can Ma Sui be arrested without evidence? You have shown your ability now. It is all the yamen's fault. Then I have no evidence at this time." It’s okay to take you for no reason?”
The onlookers fell silent immediately, not only because what Bai Yutang said made sense, but also because they felt that this evil spirit in white was too aggressive, his face was frosty, and his eyes were sharper than knives.They deeply felt that if they didn't obey this evil god, they might really be taken into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion and dealt with for the crime of deceiving people with evil words.
"Oh, yes, it's not the Yamen's fault."
"She didn't have the guts to tell the truth and report the case, but she hurt herself instead."
A woman with a hot temper spoke directly to the surrounding women: "When it comes to life-threatening matters, you can't just let it go just because it's your own man! If you offend a man, you can still remarry, but what if you lose your life?" It's all gone."
The women echoed one after another, sighing that this is the reason.
……
Fang Fuzuo came out after examining the corpse, and said to Su Yuan, "There are no strangle marks on his neck, and there are slightly swollen and bruised cheeks on both sides of his neck. I guess the murderer probably covered the deceased with that cushion." mouth and nose, suffocate him to death."
But this statement is not rigorous, because the situation under the clothes of the deceased has not yet been checked.This aspect needs to be done by Su Yuan. It is not convenient for Fang Wu as a man.
"Since he was suffocated to death, with such obvious features on his face, we can basically conclude that this is the cause of death." Su Yuan still went in to check the condition of other parts of Tang's body.
Su Yuan found that the bruises on her body had lightened a lot. When she touched the bruises on her back, she could feel that the ointment was evenly applied on it.
Bai Yutang heard that Tang's death was due to suffocation, so he knew that this was clearly murder, and it did not involve Baogu at all.
"You were wronged by those people, why don't you explain?"
This was the first time Bai Yutang talked to Su Yuan after the incident of 'Little Fat Pig'.Before speaking, Bai Yutang couldn't help but wonder if this girl was still angry with him.
Originally, if Su Yuan didn't take the initiative to talk to him, Bai Yutang didn't plan to talk to her either.It was just a joke that day, what was it?Girls sometimes have too weird thoughts and are a little unreasonable.
But when he came just now, he saw that Su Yuan seemed to have been wronged, so he rushed forward without saying a word.Seeing her now, for some reason, she didn't want to care about the previous things at all, so she directly opened her mouth to talk to Su Yuan.
"I think this misunderstanding is good. Taking advantage of these people's willingness to hold grievances, I can spread the word and let more women know the truth of resisting after being bullied, otherwise the bitter fruit can only be swallowed by themselves."
Although the circumstances of this case are completely different from what they thought, the reasoning is correct, and there is nothing wrong with promoting it more by the way.In this incident, although Tang did not miss the opportunity to find the murderer because he did not report the crime.But Tokyo is such a big city, and there are more than one family of husbands who beat their wives. If something like this happens one day, it will be really resentful and helpless.
Bai Yutang grasped the point of Su Yuan's words, to resist being bullied?
Could it be that because he said "little fat pig" that day, she deliberately took out that square handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then threw it to him?The more Bai Yutang thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.
The little girl is so powerful that she will take revenge on him.
"If I want to spread this truth easily, I have a way." Bai Yutang said.
Su Yuan immediately had a guess: "A tabloid?"
Bai Yutang nodded.
"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid that people may not be willing to write it."
"Money can turn ghosts around, not to mention they have precedents." Bai Yutang meant that the tabloids had accepted bribes before, and of course it would be easy to use money to buy them this time.
"Then who will pay for the money?" Su Yuan's wallet hurts when he mentioned the money.
"What do you think?" Bai Yutang asked back, apparently with the intention of darkening himself.
Su Yuan immediately smiled and thanked Bai Yutang.As long as the money comes from Bai Yutang, then he is the most handsome and good-looking!
"Then I'll handle this right away. You can handle this case alone?"
"Small case, of course."
After watching Bai Yutang leave, Su Yuan asked the yamen servant if he had found the person who attacked Tang's in the alley that day.
When the Tang family mentioned the attack the day before yesterday, Su Yuan asked the government servants to look for the assailant.At that time, because I was afraid that there would be another perpetrator of the flesh-cutting case, I didn't let this point go.
"According to Tang's description, we have already found the person who is the most suspect. We wanted to arrest him today and ask her to identify him, but we didn't want Tang's person to die."
The painter drew a portrait of the attacker according to Tang's description. After interrogating the street vendors, the yamen servants learned that the attacker in the portrait would pass by an alley every day, so they planned to wait there today.
Su Yuan asked the yamen servants to continue their plan and arrest the attacker first.
Ma Sui was brought back by the yamen servant at this time.
He has to go out of the city every day to work at the pier, because the distance is relatively far, so the time for the yamen servant to bring him back is relatively late.
As soon as Zhu Shi saw Ma Sui, he yelled at him for having no conscience.
Ma Sui shook his head and said: "It's not me, it's really not me. She was fine when I left in the morning, and told me to come back early."
"You fart!" Zhu was so angry that tears fell again, "You have been married for two years and have no children, and you think she is useless, so you want to divorce her, but because you are greedy for her dowry, you can't get it." The money has to be paid, so it has been delayed. The day before yesterday you took advantage of her inexplicable beating and beat her hard. If she hadn't been kind enough to report the crime, you would have beaten her to death long ago!"
"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't want to kill her." Ma Sui argued in a panic.
"At this time, you still don't admit it. Do you have a conscience? Then do you dare to swear that you have no plans for my sister-in-law? You have never been greedy for her dowry. You are sincerely good to her. .If there are lies, you will cut off your children and grandchildren, and you will die!"
Mrs. Zhu directly poked at Ma Sui's weakness: no children.
Ma Sui was in a panic, faltering and hawing, not daring to swear.
The onlookers criticized him more and more.
Ma Sui was flustered for a while, and hurriedly said to Su Yuan and the others: "I went out to work early in the morning, and everyone at the dock can testify for me."
"But there is no evidence to prove that Tang is still alive after you left."
"She's alive!" Ma Sui argued.
"As a suspect, what you said cannot be regarded as evidence, but can you tell others that Tang was still alive at that time?" Su Yuan asked.
Ma Sui thought for a while, then slowly shook his head, saying no.
"She has been lying in the house because she is bedridden and ill. If she can go out, the neighbors around will be able to see her."
"You still have the face to say, if you didn't beat her like that, why would she not be able to leave the house!" Zhu scolded.
Ma Sui lowered his head, and it seemed that he also regretted his original impulse.
At dusk, the yamen servants arrested the assailant who attacked the Tang family.
At this time, Ma Sui was kneeling in the Kaifeng mansion hall for trial, and Zhu and her husband were there.
When the assailant was brought up, Ma casually recognized him: "Why are you?"
When Zhu and her husband saw that Ma Sui knew this man, they immediately became excited.
"So it was the two of you who came together to plot against my sister! You ordered him to beat my sister first, and then you used this as an excuse to beat her, what a vicious method!" Zhu's husband, who is also Tang's elder brother, scolded through gritted teeth. road.
Su Yuan then interrogated the assailant, asking him that he was ordered by Ma Sui to attack the Tang family.
The name of the attacker was Peng Sanliang. After being stunned for a moment, he kowtowed to Su Yuan and said, "Yes, the villain was ordered by Ma Sui to slap Tang."
Ma Sui was furious, so angry that his body almost bounced off the ground immediately, "You are lying! When did I instigate you! Peng Sanliang, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"Why, you still want to beat people in the lobby of Kaifeng mansion, and force them to change their confessions?" A yamen servant saw that Ma Sui jumped, and there was a posture of attacking Peng Sanliang, and immediately knocked him down with a wooden stick, telling him to be more honest. .
"Peng Sanliang, do you know what will happen if you give false testimony in Kaifeng Mansion?"
Su Yuan could tell at a glance that Peng Sanliang was lying, because his acting skills were really clumsy.
When he heard about the situation, he was obviously stunned. After that, he didn't panic about being exposed, nor did he try to cover up and shirk responsibility, so he directly admitted that he was ordered by Ma Sui.Simply so neat that people think that he and Ma Sui have a grudge?
After Peng Sanliang heard Su Yuan's deduction, he trembled in fright, the truth was found out so easily.He hesitated for a while, and finally heard that he might be punished as an accomplice if he perjured himself, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly told the truth.
When Peng Sanliang was born, he was very thin and small due to premature birth, hence the name Sanliang.But in the process of growing up, he was often ridiculed because he grew up much thinner than his peers. Peng Sanliang was unconvinced and worked hard to eat, drink and exercise. When he finally grew up, his figure was not much different from that of ordinary men. But the body is still a little weaker, and it is even worse than the tall and strong Ma Sui.
Like Ma Sui, he is a porter at the dock, but because he lacks strength and does little work, Ma Sui and others always take the lead in making fun of him.
Since childhood, Peng Sanliang hated others who made fun of him because he was thin and weak, but Ma Sui and others always used such words to ridicule him, and slowly there was hatred in their hearts.
"The reason why Cao Min went to slap Tang was because Cao Min had been bullied by him too much, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. Cao Min couldn't beat him, and didn't he beat his wife? So Cao Min thought of beating his wife to get revenge.
After following Ma Sui home that day, Cao Min knew what his wife Tang looked like, and then followed Tang, and on impulse that day, ran to slap Tang.But Cao Min regretted it after beating him, so Cao Min just hit him once and ran away immediately. "
After Peng Sanliang explained the process tremblingly, he kowtowed and kowtowed in repentance and begged for mercy.
It was hard for the yamen servants to sympathize with Peng Sanliang's pity after hearing this, they only thought he was hateful and detestable.After being bullied, he didn't have the guts to deal with Ma Sui, who was stronger than him, so he found Tang Shi, who was weaker than him, to bully him.In fact, there is no essential difference between him and Ma Sui, they are both unscrupulous bastards who like to bully the weak.
Ma Sui stared round his eyes, and shouted at Peng Sanliang: "Well, you Peng Sanliang, you actually did something bad to provoke our husband and wife! If it weren't for your slap, I wouldn't doubt Tang, I didn't doubt Tang. , and wouldn't—"
"My lord, it's clear! You see, he admitted that he attacked my sister-in-law and killed my poor sister-in-law." Mrs. Zhu shouted to the first judge Zhou who had been drooping his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.
The old judge Zhou was startled by Zhu Shi's sudden sharp shout, he twisted his body, frowned, looked at Zhu Shi, and then looked at Su Yuan, wondering why Su Yuan didn't stop him.
Zhu's frightening kung fu is better than Su Yuan's.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't plead guilty!" Ma Sui immediately denied, "Don't think you can frame me just because Judge Zhou fell asleep."
"I didn't!" But Mrs. Zhu really wanted to take advantage of Mr. Zhou's dozing off to immediately follow the charge.
After the old judge Zhou took a sip of tea in a gentle manner, he corrected his tone slowly: "I didn't sleep."
Both Zhu Shi and Ma Sui looked back at Mr. Zhou with disbelief.Logically speaking, the prisoners under trial would be afraid of the majesty of the judges and dare not look directly at them. It was because old judge Zhou seemed too easy-going and kind that they were so bold.
Judge Zhou didn't mind this, and ordered Su Yuan to continue the trial.
Su Yuan then ordered everyone to shut up, and she could only answer when she asked questions.
"If anyone makes a noise without authorization, he will slap his mouth thirty times."
Zhu Shi and Ma Sui immediately shut their mouths tightly and became quiet.
Judge Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yuan again.The eyes clearly said: You have this trick, why didn't you use it earlier, and you just said it, but it greatly delayed the official's meditation after the table, and he was in a daze!
The reason why Su Yuan allowed them to speak freely was to observe the situation of these people, and to observe what clues or flaws would be revealed in the process of accusing each other.
"Where did you beat Su Shi?" Su Yuan asked Peng Sanliang.
"It's in Red Line Alley, not far from her home. There was no one in the alley at that time, so I took the opportunity to make a move." Peng Sanliang replied honestly.
"Then how did you know about your wife being attacked?" Su Yuan asked Ma Sui again.
"When I came back that day, a seven or eight-year-old child in the alley told me that Tang had been slapped by a man. The child also comforted me that he is a man and must vent his anger for his wife."
Ma Sui didn't know the boy's identity, he knew all the children in the alley, so he could confirm that the boy was not from Hongxian Alley.
He didn't think much about it at the time, he just thought that the boy came to play elsewhere, and happened to see the situation, so he simply said those words to him.
"Could it be that this boy was ordered by others?" Ma Sui felt that Su Yuan was particularly concerned about this situation, so he also speculated.
"Naturally, it was instigated by others." Su Yuan affirmed.
Ma Sui, Zhu Shi, Peng Sanliang and others all expressed surprise.
Judge Zhou twirled his beard and nodded, "That's right, I was indeed instructed."
"Who ordered it, and why did you do such a thing?"
"Naturally, seeing an opportunity, I took the opportunity to kill someone, and you just happened to be the dead ghost." Su Yuan immediately ordered the suspect to be apprehended and brought to justice.
Ma Sui was completely dumbfounded, stunned again and again.
Zhu and his wife were also dumbfounded.
"Isn't the murderer Ma Sui? It's clear that he beat up the woman's sister-in-law, causing her death." Zhu asked puzzled.
"Ma Sui's beating will not put Tang's life in danger. The doctor's diagnosis was made earlier, and I also took her pulse."
Chu knew the doctor's diagnosis, but she thought it was because the doctor was inaccurate in diagnosing the disease at the time, and Tang's subsequent sudden onset of other symptoms would cause her to die.After all, Tang died suddenly on the second day of convalescence, and the only thing that can be directly associated with her is that she was beaten by Ma Sui.In addition, she didn't like Ma Sui's actions before, so she naturally believed that Ma Sui was the one who killed Tang.
When they learned that Tang was actually killed by suffocation, Zhu and his wife were completely stunned.They had no idea that the murderer was someone else, and they always thought that the murderer could only be Ma Sui.
After a stick of incense, the suspect was escorted to the hall.
Ma Sui, Zhu Shi and others were all surprised when they saw it.
