In the end, Ma Fuyao wrote the detailed trial of the case clearly, and Haihui and Guo Guzi did not run away, causing trouble by entering the house, causing trouble, and tracing the source and tracing the committee to punish one hundred times.

Jinzhi was sentenced to hang according to the Ming Dynasty law for threatening his elders to death and was executed after the autumn; Liu Yuan's crime of threatening his death was reduced by a first-class level, and he was sent to one hundred rods and three thousand miles.

Because Haihui and Guo's sister were a woman, she was reduced by thirty rods; Liu Yuan was a supervisor and also reduced by thirty rods, which was exempted from three thousand miles. However, because of poor moral character, she had to report to the department to remove him. Without the identity of a scholar, she was undoubtedly the greatest punishment for Liu Yuan.

Compensation for the Zhou family for one hundred acres of dowry, and the rest of the people will be dealt with, without a detailed description.

Liu Yuan and Jinzhi cried outside with their heads in their arms. Song Qiao, who was limping on the board, walked out and took the punishment. He did not forget to make money. He said, "Don't cry, the hanging is allowed to be refuted three times. From the county, we go up layer by layer through two courtyards and courts, and then approve it layer by layer. We will be very involved in making an injustice. We will definitely not die within one or two years. Unfortunately, it is the judgment made by the Ministry of Justice. Unless there is someone above, it will be difficult to change it, but there is still a trace of vitality."

Liu Yuan was overjoyed. He had no interest in being an official, but only wanted to be safe and sound. Even if he had spent all his money, he was willing to speak up.

Xu Hao walked over with a smile and said, "I didn't expect to meet again. It's a pity that you came in, but I'm going out."

"You!" Mr. Liu looked like a defeated rooster, and he had no strength to argue at this time.

Xu Hao did not have the dark mentality of letting Jinzhi die. The dead Zhou family had no relatives and no reason. Who made Mr. Liu humble? So he left with a joke. Whether Jinzhi can be safe depends on her luck.

Generally, after two years, it is like probation. The plaintiff will not pursue the punishment after paying some money. It is generally possible to reconcile privately, and the government will not pursue it. You should know that in ancient times, the indictment was extremely cautious, and it is not considered a political search for family raids. Often, there are very few prisoners who have been punished in a year.

At this time, Wang Ji continued to investigate the case without stopping. Hu Desheng was on the left, Zhiyun and Xu Min were on the right, and knelt on the ground together.

The anxious Yu Qian mingled in the crowd, and it was useless to be anxious. Instead, he gave his brother-in-law good advice.

Zhiyun was greatly inspired. Naturally, he immediately overturned his confession and told him in detail about the arrest.

Wang Ji asked, "You said Hu Desheng was going to frame you and the other two. Did he have a grudge earlier?"

Zhiyun was hated for neglecting Hu Desheng. How could the person involved know that he had offended the villain by accident? He said: "When it comes to the past, there has never been any grudge."

Wang Ji shook his head slightly and said, "If you say there is no grudge on weekdays and only have anger, will he frame you and the other two be prepared to try the Dharma with your own body? It can be seen that you are unreliable to say that framed you."

Zhiyun was panicked when he heard this, and was anxious and dissatisfied with the words, and shouted: "Please be kind to me, sir, or we have any grudges before, it is not clear."

Ma Fuyao said: "For a moment, the language is repeated, and this situation is a bit suspicious."

Zhiyun was anxious and afraid, and was so frustrated that he had no choice but to tell him, but he was struggling with no explanation or evidence to defend himself.

Wang Ji's eyes kept circling on Xu Min's face. Even capable ministers could not avoid the habit of judging people by their appearance. To be honest, Xu Min had a bit of a fierce look.

Wang Ji would never be distorted by Xu Hao's relationship. Xu Min took the initiative and said in a strange voice: "Everything of the master's words is true just now, and the belief is also in you. If you don't believe it, there is no good thing in this world, so there is no need to interrogate me, it's just a death."

Seeing that he was rude, the left and right shouted in unison. Wang Ji smiled slightly and didn't care. He turned to Hu Desheng and asked, "You have heard clearly what they promised?"

After his brother-in-law's face-to-face teaching, Hu Desheng said seriously: "I heard everything about Bei Zhi. It is normal for prisoners to turn confessions, and these nonsense can't be hidden from the two adults. As for Zhiyun, it is really beyond reason to say that Bei Zhi is willing to frame and fabricate all the situations.

How many brains do you have to do such illegal things? Besides, there is no grudge on weekdays, which was what he said in person. If you want to harm others intently, why do you find both of them?

Now that he is in a poor way, of course, he dares not be in vain and trouble in his humble position."

Hu Desheng spoke in an orderly manner, Ma Fuyao couldn't help but nodded frequently, and Wang Ji smiled and said, "Of course you both will have their own opinions. It's hard for me to tell who is right or who is wrong. But I want to ask you one thing."

Wang Ji's eyes were bright and shot on Hu Desheng's face, making the other party's heart jump, for fear that he would make a big mistake if he couldn't answer the answer.

Just when he was scared, Wang Ji asked: "You are responsible for handling this case, it's so easy. I'm very puzzled. How do you know that a monk is the mastermind and a butcher is the murderer. It's rare to solve the case so quickly, but where did you get the evidence?"

Ma Fuyao cooperated with an extremely tacit understanding, and before he finished speaking, he shouted: "Speak quickly, don't delay."

This is another common method in the yamen. Everyone is waiting for this moment and immediately show their power. The majesty in the entire court is shocking enough to make people shudder.

Even if many prisoners are cunning and steady, they will be scared by sudden intimidation. Once they cannot answer or have a hint of excuse in their expressions, the case will be overturned and they will be tried again.

But Hu Desheng was prepared for a long time. As a colleague, he knew these methods very well. Lang Lang said calmly: "Sir, the reason why this case is so fast is not a humble job, it is because someone reported it."

Wang Ji said, "Since that's the case, tell them all."

Hu Desheng said: "The person who whistled up is the son of Wang Laoer who runs a tofu shop. He is called Niuer. He is the most honest child in his teens. Of course he will not tell lies."

At this time, Zhiyun couldn't help but screamed injustice. Wang Ji frowned and said, "Stop talking first, I haven't finished asking what I said here. Hu Desheng, please continue."

Hu Desheng felt proud and continued, "According to Niu'er, he passed by the Flower Archway on Lion Street that night and saw Zhiyun commanding the butcher Xu and chopped the man to the ground. He sighed secretly and was so scared that he flew away in the dark shadow and quietly escaped."

Ma Fuyao asked, "Why tell you about this?"

Hu Desheng said: "First, I have known his father and I have always had a good relationship. Second, Wang Laoer learned that Bei Zhi had investigated the case, and the superiors set a deadline. Therefore, he thought about his past friendship and wanted to seek rewards, and asked his son to tell Bei Zhi."

Xu Min cursed: "What he said is just a fart. I never know what Wang Laoer or a cow, and he will be slandered and will not die if he swears."

Wang Ji shook his head. If this continues, it will be difficult for Zhiyun and Xu Min to turn over. Once the court decides to quickly calm the incident, it is likely that the order will be issued to execute the two, after all, the evidence is conclusive.

At this moment, Xu Hao outside the door clapped his hands and said, "Good scolding."

Without waiting for the soap official to scold him, Wang Ji immediately stood up and walked out, bowing respectfully and said, "The lower official has met the governor."

Hu Desheng opened his mouth in disbelief and stared at Xu Juren. His soul was scattered, while Yu Qian, who was hiding in the dark, looked pale in an instant.

Xu Hao was not going to play the slap in the face. It was embarrassing enough to mix it up in this case. No matter what, he would be ridiculed. He said directly: "Shuntian Mansion arrested me in the name of the accomplice in this case, and the confession was in the hands of Hu Desheng. I think it is enough to prove the innocence of Zhiyun and Xu Min."

Wang Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. He said that he would not be so nonsense. If you want to prove that your cousin is innocent, you can postpone the case with just one word. You have to design it into Shuntian Mansion. Will Hu Desheng deliberately wrongly accuse you?

However, Wang Ji was also very moved. The identities of the two suspects involved in this case were extraordinary. Both Xu Hao and Yao Guangxiao were enough to make Yu Qian breathless. This bad strategy shows how afraid Xu Hao is. There are obviously ways to solve it.

Compared with a group of unscrupulous corrupt officials, two ministers with high and powerful positions have to make people respect themselves.

Xu Hao never fought a war that was unsure, nor was he going to be entangled with Yu Qian, Hu Desheng and others. The reason why he delayed for so long was because he wanted to find out the real culprit of the case.

"Bring people up."

With Xu Hao waved his hand, the Jinyiwei pushed three men in, which immediately made the assassination truth come out.

It turned out that during the Jingnan Campaign, four people, including the deceased, were all southern soldiers recruited by the imperial court. They lived and fed together on weekdays, and charged together during wars. They formed deep friendships with each other, and had similar tempers and became sworn brothers of the opposite sex.

The army was defeated, and the four people were unwilling to die in a foreign land. They took the opportunity to flee back to their hometown. As military households, they dared not go home, so they had to choose to be thieves.

After several murders and robberies, they hid in Anqing with the stolen goods. The eldest brother of the four, Li Cheng, met a friend on the street, named Ji Shun.

Ji Shun is a craftsman and took him home affectionately. Unexpectedly, Li Cheng fell in love with his girl at first sight. The girl fell in love with the tall Li Cheng who is good-looking and has a big figure at first sight.

Ji Shun was worried about the lack of a large number of bamboo workers, so he invited Li Cheng to help after dinner, including food and accommodation at home, and paid wages every day.

Li Cheng was just right. That night, he told his three brothers that I liked a woman and went to Ji's house by myself. Not long after, the two of them fell in love with each other and slept together at night.

Li Cheng wanted to take his sister away and fly away, and called his brothers to discuss. The fourth son of the elder Ma Biao said, "This is a bit inappropriate. It is too obvious that you two disappeared at the same time. Ji Shun accused him of the name and the government will post a wanted list according to the index of the picture. Once you make a mistake, all three of us will be implicated. Wouldn't it be a kidnap, but you will harm your brothers?"

The other two felt it made sense, and Li Cheng said, "What should I do? I can't marry someone here, I'm a deserter and a murder case on my back. Do you want me to let go?"

Ma Biao said, "Brother, don't let me down. I have a problem. Let the three of us take her away first. If you continue to work, Ji Shun will be suspicious of you. After you finish your work, you will come to meet us. If you have a lost person, where will Ji Shun go to find him? Even if you report to the official, it has nothing to do with the word "caught away".

Li Cheng was unhappy when he heard this. The brothers couldn't do anything? What should I do if I took the girl's turn? I was really worried, but because of their own interests, the three of them were afraid that they would be captured by the government and would be inappropriate for a woman.

Li Cheng, who was alone and unable to speak, thought for a while, and felt that the three brothers monitored each other and would not touch their lover, so he agreed aggrievedly.

Later, the girl was successfully kidnapped away. The next morning, Ji Shun was an honest man who had never entered the yamen in his entire life, and hesitated and didn't know what to do.

His wife took the opportunity to say, "Forget it, the person has already run away, why are you causing trouble? Your sister told her that the husband's family is not happy, and the western family does not nod. Now she is leaving without saying goodbye. She is designated to be with whom "qingen". Since she is out of her original intention, we are even more happy to be more trouble-free. Maybe after a year or two, the couple will come back together with their children to recognize their relatives. Why bother to find her? It's thankless."

Ji Shun nodded repeatedly when he heard this, saying that what his wife said made sense. At that time, Li Cheng was so regretful. If he had gone away together last night, wouldn't he be together sweetly now?

So Li Cheng deeply hated Ma Biao for being troublesome and wanted to rush over and walk with them immediately. Only then did he feel relieved, but he had no choice but to escape for a while, so he had to continue staying to work.
