  Chapter 42 Confession

  Now all the evidence points to this woman, no matter how much she denies it, it will be of no avail. It is nothing more than finding the motive of the murder and convincing her.

  Hu Maoxi was just pointed out by Sun Xiancheng, and he didn't want to let go of this excellent opportunity to show his intelligence, so he said first:

"Mr. Yu, if it's just a coincidence that you borrowed bamboo vinegar to clean up Mrs. Zhao's yard, but the bamboo vinegar in the dry well is nearly half a meter deep. The well has been abandoned for many years, and weeds have regenerated. If you didn't Deliberately covering up the smell of rotting corpses, how could it take so much trouble to pour a huge amount of bamboo vinegar into the well, and then rack its brains to cover up people's eyes and ears."

  Every sentence was sonorous and forceful, and then he smiled sinisterly:

   "As for why you killed someone, waiting for the officer to bring you back to the county government will have plenty of ways for you to confess."

   "Does your lord want to torture you into a trick?"

  Yu Shi met his eyes, and sneered reassuringly: "Since I know that I will die, why bother talking."

   Seeing that the woman didn't have any fear, Hu Maoxi also felt troubled at this time.

  Even if he can be convicted of murder, if the specific reason cannot be investigated clearly, the dossier submitted to the county at the time of the plan can only be a muddled account and cannot be a complete confession.

   I'm afraid it's hard to explain.

  Chu Nanzhi knew this very well, and she had already made a conclusion in her heart, so she first asked Zhao Taigong for instructions:

   "The crime of murder is now a certainty. As for finding out the motive for the murder, it is not difficult. Since the lady refuses to confess, the women have a way to get her to confess. It is to offend the grandfather."

   Now Zhao Taigong only wants to avenge his son, so he has no other scruples. He said with a gloomy face, "Please ask Mrs. Chu to investigate clearly for this old man."

  With Zhao Taigong's consent, Chu Nanzhi's eyes turned back to Yu Shi:

"Zhao Xiaolang is well-educated, filial and benevolent, this is a fact recognized by the family, and he is deeply loved by the people, and he is also respectful and filial to his wife, so if it is purely because of the fight for family property, the idea of ​​a woman is not valid. "

   Speaking of this, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows to look at Zhao Erlang:

"Actually, women have had suspicions in this regard before, but the object of suspicion is this Zhao Jiaerlang, but when all the evidence points to the wife alone, I have to give up this idea. One is a stepson and the other is a nephew. , I think Mrs. Yu can understand this kind of close relationship, unless there is some shady activity."

  Hearing this, Zhao Erlang immediately turned his face: "You wicked woman, don't be suspicious, my uncle treats me like my own, how can I have any shady affairs with my aunt."

   "Don't blame Zhao Erlang, the woman doesn't suspect you, it's just a hypothesis."

  Chu Nanzhi saw a trace of panic flashing across his calm face, and felt a chill in his heart:

   It can't be true.

  Then this melon is a bit big.

  She didn't dare to continue to make random guesses, so she had to return to the topic:

  "Since this assumption is ruled out, there is probably only one reason why Mr. Zhao Xiaolang, who has always respected his wife, no longer respects his mother, and why his wife wants to kill this filial and righteous stepson."

   "What reason?"

  Hu Maoxi's eyes widened.

   Sun Xiancheng frowned, stroked his beard and racked his brains to think, and suddenly said loudly: "I'm afraid that Mrs. Yu committed adultery, and Mr. Zhao Xiaolang happened to bump into him, so I have a clue in his hands."

"good."

   There was an uproar in the hall.

   Zhao Taigong's face was even more ugly.

  Chu Nanzhi looked at Sun Xiancheng gratifiedly, and then preached to everyone:

"It's true that the Grandfather dotes on Xiaolangjun, but everyone can see his preference for the wife. Even if she makes a big mistake, with this unique favor, the Grandfather will not care about it, let alone punish her." , but having an affair with others is absolutely intolerable, no matter whether it is the young man or the old man."

   "Don't talk nonsense, woman, who can have an affair with the servant who stays in the mansion all year round."

   Yu Shi kept a calm face, but the previous delicate appearance was gone now.

   "It's really not that hard to find out who you're having an affair with."

  Chu Nanzhi looked at the whole hall, her face was solemn, even the little Sibao outside the door was sitting quietly by the threshold, listening intently.

  She suddenly glanced at the group of maids behind Yu Shi, and her tone became meaningful:

"Mr. Zhao Xiaolang can bump into this matter. I am afraid that Yu Niangzi's affair has not lasted for a day or two. If Mr. Xiaolang knows about it, then these maids in your courtyard must also know about it. Yu Niangzi is the mistress of the family. All the subordinates in the mansion have the power of life and death, majestic and majestic, and they are protected by the old man. In the past, it would be really difficult for me to ask something from the subordinates, but now."

   She was speaking in a straightforward manner, but inadvertently, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and once again swept across the hall, a group of maids were immediately scared and cowered and did not dare to look up.

  Chu Nanzhi already knew it in her heart, and nodded in thought:

"Now Miss Yu is an ant on the hot pot and you can't protect yourself. You know that you will die and you don't want to confess, but they may not be willing to keep the secret for you anymore. As long as the grandfather says a word, these maids in your courtyard will be tortured. After a while, I don’t believe there is no one who doesn’t tell the truth.”

  As soon as these words came out, the maids behind Yu immediately fell to their knees.

   Seeing this, Taigong Zhao took a deep breath and roared at the thunder in the hall:

   "Quickly tell me, who is this **** committing adultery with? Don't say that this old man will beat you to pieces today."

  The maids were terrified. They looked at Yu Shi for a while, and then looked at Zhao Erlang standing beside him.

"It's you?"

  Zhao Taigong was both angry and stunned, and the deep beads fell directly on Zhao Erlang.

   "Uncle."

  Zhao Erlang had nowhere to hide, and immediately fell to his knees, his face pale with fright.

Zhao Taigong still couldn't believe it, he didn't want to believe that his nephew, who he regarded as his own, would do such a wrong thing to him, pointing to a group of kneeling maids, he shouted again: "Quickly say, is it him? "

  A few timid maids were afraid of being punished, so they hurriedly stammered:

   "Indeed. It is indeed Erlang. Erlang has an affair with the mistress and the mistress."

   "It's a crime."

  Zhao Taigong's entire forehead was squeezed together, and his blood surged rapidly.

   "This is really an anecdote."

   County magistrate Hu and county magistrate Sun whispered to each other and started discussing.

  Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but frowned slightly.

  These two have been arguing all the time, and they never thought that their own assumptions would be fulfilled when things came to an end.

  It's ridiculously tight.

  The maids knelt on the ground and buried their heads tightly, begging tremblingly:

"My lord, please calm down, slaves. There is nothing the slaves can do. Although the slaves know about this, the lady said that the lord is already in his twilight years, and he is often away from the house. Sooner or later, she will be the family. If the slaves If you dare to speak out, the mistress and wife will take the lives of the servants."

   Then another maid explained bitterly, trying to be innocent:

   "But the servants never thought that the mistress would kill Mr. Xiao Lang."

   Zhao Taigong gritted his teeth tightly, and was so angry that he wanted to cry without tears.

  After hearing this, Zhao Erlang beat his chest and stamped his feet, with a depressed face, stared fiercely at Yu Shi, shook his head and scolded:

   "You bitch, I didn't expect that you would really kill Brother Yan. If I knew it back then, I would... I would"

   "How about you?"

   Yu Shi looked at his hesitant appearance, put on a broken voice, and roared unscrupulously:

   "Do you want to report me in front of this old thing just like your disobedient brother? To report that you are also greedy for the slave's beauty just like this old thing?"

   "Erlang was ashamed of his uncle and harmed his younger brother Yan. Erlang will not be redeemed if he dies a hundred times. I hope his uncle will cherish him in the future."

  Zhao Erlang was so ashamed, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he grabbed a short knife from the guard and stabbed it in the abdomen, and immediately fell to the ground and died.

  Chu Nanzhi's face tightened in fright, and immediately rushed to Sibao's side to protect the little guy's eyes.

   Ah, so angry, so angry, I felt the same way, took out the recommendation ticket and slammed it at Yu Shi;

   If not, then...

   Hit me.
