Section 30 Shandong Major Case (9)

Cui Jingnan could not drink, but could only use tea instead of wine to give Meng Xiang a blessing for her birthday. Meng Xiang was unwilling to drink on the grounds that the young master was sick and needed care, but Cui Jingnan refused completely, saying that if he was in a good mood, it would be okay for a physical illness. Besides, no matter how sad he was, it would only take one night. When he woke up tomorrow, wouldn’t he be able to serve him again?

After hearing the young master's words, Meng Xiang also let go of his arms. Several young people were drunk while drinking. Cui Fu had the best alcohol tolerance, but he was also staggering. Meng Xiang and Cui Yong were even more drunk and were lying beside the table. They had to be unconscious. They also had to be held in the bedroom and held it with Cui Fu in his arms and took it to the bedroom to rest.

After settling the two of them, Cui Fu returned to the young master's room: "Young master, is there anything else you need to serve in a small way?"

Cui Jingnan looked at him in a daze: "Xiaofu, you may as well have drunk so much wine?"

"I am born to drink alcohol, and I don't know what's going on."

Cui Jingnan smiled: "You go to bed too. If you have any questions, I will say it until tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Cui Fu agreed, and was about to turn around and retreat when suddenly a knock on the door outside the guest room was heard, which scared Cui Jingnan. Cui Fu, who didn't take it seriously, turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Cui, please come and pay your respects."

It was Xiang Jin's voice. What did he do in such a late night? Cui Jingnan winked at Cui Fu, and the latter went over and opened the door. In addition to Xiang Jin, there was Liu Wenming and Feng Changchi. Three of them came to the inn in casual clothes and covered with rain covers. At this time, Cui Jingnan noticed that raindrops as thin as willows were floating outside.

When the guest arrived, the host couldn't help but stand up and greet him: "Master Xiang, must you have something to see when you visit at night?"

Xiang entered the door and looked at it, and saw that there were no more people present. He felt relieved. He didn't speak. He walked to Cui Jingnan and suddenly became half short: "Xiang knew he was guilty. Please let Lord Cui go online and forgive me."

Not only did Xiang Jin kneel down, but Liu Wenming, who was following him, also knelt down at the same time: "All the mistakes were done by Liu and had nothing to do with my family. I just asked Mr. Cui to do good deeds outside the law."

Cui Jingnan's actions made the emperor's hands and feet frown and stamped his feet. He went up to support him but he was not supposed to do it - because that would show that he was willing to fulfill his intentions. In that case, all his actions in Laiwu County will be completely overflowing! - A wink Cui Fu and helped them up: "Mr. Xiang, it's not that I'm little brother to you, Brother Liu has any grudges, but as the censor and the emperor's orders, I have to... take into account the reputation of the people in Laiwu County. What Mr. Xiang does in this county... Alas, it's really too much."

Xiang Jin was overjoyed when he heard Cui Jingnan's dialect. If there was a glimmer of hope and could escape this disaster, he would not be willing to be charged with murdering Shangguan. His body, which had just stood up, fell down again: "Sir, be kind."

"It's not that I refuse to let go, but it's too late to do this." Cui Jingnan pointed with his hand: "Look? I have reported the truth about Shandong's relief. I will just wait for tomorrow morning to send Meng Xiang to the province with Zheben, and I will send him to Zheming to the province."

"Isn't it possible to save it? Haven't the memorial from the lord been issued yet?"

Cui Jingnan raised his eyebrows and his voice became very rude: "What does Lord Liu mean? Do you still want me to burn grass in public?"

Liu Wenming seemed to have just said something but refused to give in, and immediately chased after him: "If the adults intentionally save me, it would be like hanging upside down."

Cui Jingnan stood up slowly: "It's already late at night, so I'll have to take a break early, so I'll ask a few adults to go back."

Xiang Jin was angry that Liu Wenming could not speak. Under such circumstances, if he made more pleas, Cui Jingnan could give himself a chance? He asked his few words to block the road. But at this moment, he had already reached a state of pushing a cart and hitting the wall. Even if he wanted to beg for forgiveness, it would be useless, right?

With a sigh of dejected sigh, Xiang Jin stood up and bowed to Cui Jingnan who turned around: "Since that's the case, then Xiang said goodbye."

This sentence is a code word. Before Cui Jingnan could turn around and see off the guests, Feng Changchi, who was standing at the door, stepped forward and used the hemp rope that had been prepared to cover Cui Jingnan's throat and tightened his arms. Cui Jingnan knew that it was not good and wanted to call Cui Fu over to help, but saw Cui Fu walking to the door without any trouble, looking around, not caring about the matter in the room at all. So Cui Jingnan knew that all this was planned by Cui Fu, Xiang Jin and others!

Before a thought could be completed, Feng Changchi pulled the rope, raised his big foot, and thrust heavily on his back, and the carbuncle broke. In an instant, a large stream of blood dyed the moon-white gauze he was wearing red!

Cui Jingnan struggled hard for a few times, but finally couldn't resist the darkness's summons. He pushed Xiang Qi, then fell down depressedly, and his body fell down.

After strangled Cui Jingnan, Feng Changchi and Liu Wenming joined hands to wrap the rope around the beam of the house, made a slip knot at the bottom, put it around Cui Jingnan's neck, hung up his body, and threw it over to the ground with a bench. Everything was ready to stop, let Cui Fu change into the young master's clothes, stand in the lights of the guest room, and act like seeing off guests, then change his clothes and go back to his house to rest.

When they woke up the next morning, Meng Xiang and Cui Yong woke up one after another. Suddenly, they heard Cui Fu's screams and cries in the young master's room. When the two entered the door, they saw that there were a pair of feet floating in the wind at the messy dining table. It was the corpse that the young master hung himself on. The two screamed and almost fainted. Then they burst into tears!

The inn's guy heard the sound and rushed over: "What's wrong... Oh! My God? What's wrong?"

The three people who were crying on the ground turned their heads, and Meng Xiang suddenly jumped up and grabbed the guy's clothes: "I'll ask you, who has been in my young master's room last night?"

"Yes, yes." The guy was frightened by him and said stammeringly: "Master Xiang and Liu Bantu from the county government have been here."

"Let's go find them!" Meng Xiang let go of the guy, roared and rushed out of the guest room, and headed straight for the county government.

Meng Xiang cried and ran away, passing through the city in the county, causing everyone to whisper. For many days, everyone has become familiar with this young and kind young man, and also knows that he is the person around Lord Cui who decides for the people. Today... what's wrong?

When I arrived at the county government, I saw Xiang Jin. Meng Xiang didn't care about the superiors and inferiors at all, and cursed: "Xiang Jin? Please give my young master my life!"

Xiang Jin pretended to be confused and blinked in confusion: "What... revenge? Brother Meng, what do you mean?"

"You are still pretending to be confused? You killed my young master!" Meng Xiang cried loudly, saying that his young master had hanged himself in the guest room, and finally said, "Didn't it you did?"

"Why is this happening?" Xiang Jin was shocked and quickly ordered the 'come' and prepared to go to the inn to see what happened before doing the truth.

There was such a major case in the county, and as usual, officials were sent to examine the autopsy. The Qing Dynasty had a clear text and four people should be brought, one was a coroner, the other was a scribe in the punishment room, and two servants - the punishment room's calligraphy is abbreviated as a criminal book, which is extremely powerful and has many varied styles. It is an important figure in the county's prison. The county's crime book is called Zhang Shichen, who is the cousin of the inspector Zhang Shilong.

Encircled Xiang and entered the inn. The door was already surrounded by people who were watching. When they heard the gongs behind the crowd, the people were still surrounded by people. No one was willing to dodge the way. Knowing that the officer waved his whip and was about to whip, he barely squeezed out a way, and the master of Rong County passed by the sedan chair.

He squeezed through the wall and entered the inn. The owner of the inn was named Luo. He knelt on the ground and cried with a sad face: "Please pay tribute to the master."

"Boss Luo, what's going on?"

"I don't know either. You saw it too. When you woke up this morning, you saw Mr. Cui hang himself on the beam of the guest room..."

"Shut up!" Xiang Jin shouted loudly: "How did you know that Lord Cui hanged himself? Instead of murdering someone?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain is confused." Boss Luo responded in a cowardly and said, "I saw Lord Cui hanging on the beam of the house this morning, and the young man dared not move. Now, Master, you are here."

Xiang Jin waved his hand and asked him to kneel aside, leading Xing Shu and Corsair into the inn. Sure enough, Cui Jingnan hung on the beam of the house. The morning sun shone directly in. The face of the corpse had turned pale and his tongue spit out the old edge. When he was doing things last night, Xiang Jin was panicked and did not dare to look at it. After cleaning up, he hurried out from the house and returned to the yamen. This was the first time he saw it. Xiang Jin was shocked, blinked hard, and squeezed out a few tears: "Come?"

"Yes. What are the instructions for the master?"

"I asked someone to take down Lord Cui's remains, wrap them up with grass, and then get buried in the coffin after the case is found out."

"Zhe." The coroner directed the two officers to bring a ladder and chair, climbed to a high place to move Cui Jingnan's body down, put it on a door panel that I had found from nowhere, put it on it, and put it on it, and temporarily set up a case in the courtyard of the inn, and Xiang Jin asked about it.

Before asking the case, the coroner had to perform a mortal examination. The prisoner of the criminal Zhang Shichen took out the 'corpse grid' and first filled in some necessary words, and then waited for it. On this side, the coroner in the county government stepped forward, lifted the grass and put it aside, took out the tape ruler from his arms, gestured carefully, and shouted loudly: "The body is a man, and he is five feet and eight inches long."

"...There is a strangled mark under the neck, located three minutes below the Adam's apple. The hyoid bone extends three inches and three minutes outside the outlet. It can be broken and died of suffocation." While shouting loudly, the coroner gently stroked the body with his hands and feet: "There are no fractures on the body of the corpse, and it can be seen that there were no traces of friction before death."

Finally, the back of the corpse was checked, and the coroner shouted: "There is blood on the back of the corpse!"

This sound made everyone inside and outside the courtyard gate open their eyes wide. Xiang Jin sat and listened. At this time, he couldn't help but open his eyes: "What is the injury and what are the signs of bleeding?"

"Yes." The coroner turned his body ninety degrees, lifted the clothes on his back and looked at it: "To my words, it was bleeding caused by the cracking of the back."

With a word, a buzzing sound was heard. It seemed that everyone had different meanings about this result. Xiang Jin slapped the table hard and suppressed the noise in the crowd: "Continue to test, what else is there to be suspicious?"
