Xiangsheng prosperous

Chapter 98
Two days later, at Weichao Hall in Chang'an County.

The two Marquis Wu who were on duty today had just packed up their outfits and were going to take a broom to clean up the open space in front of the court hall.Since the Tang Dynasty defeated the Eastern Turks, the country led by Tang Emperor Li Shimin has entered a prosperous period.People from all over the world worshiped and came to court from all over the world. In the year of Zhenguan, the world was peaceful, and even the lung stone and Dengwen drum outside the court hall had not been patronized for a long time.

"Every day is just a family dispute, a small neighborhood dispute. Don't say that our county captain is so boring, even I don't think it's very interesting..." One of the fat Marquis Wu yawned, full of complaints grumbled.

Another skinny man, Marquis Wu, rolled his eyes at him and said, "Be content, now that there is peace and prosperity, you can still light drums and go to the court every day. If it is like in the war before, it is still unknown whether you will survive tomorrow. How can there be any chance?" Leisure is disgusting here."

The fat Marquis Wu curled his lips and snorted displeasedly, "I'm just talking, why are you so serious..."

After all, the two picked up the broom and continued to wrestle while cleaning the ground.

Suddenly, there was a "dong dong dong" drumming sound outside the door.The two looked at each other and stopped what they were doing in surprise.

No way, does this mean that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive soon?

The skinny Marquis Wu stared at the fat man with hatred, complaining that his open mouth could not only eat, but also say anything.

Resentment to resentment, business can not be left behind, they threw the broom at the same time, and walked towards the entrance of the chaotang.

I saw a middle-aged woman, holding two drum hammers, vigorously beating the Dengwen drum hanging outside the court hall in Chang'an County.

On the street at the gate of County Wei Chaotang, passers-by gradually gathered together.People hadn't seen anyone beating the drums for many days, and seeing them today, they couldn't help but stop, and stood beside them and started discussing.For a while, there was a lot of noise at the entrance of the County Wei Chaotang.

"Who is playing the drum?" The skinny Marquis Wu rushed to Dengwen's drum and stopped.

When the woman heard someone coming out of the hall, she stopped the drumstick in her hand and turned her head to take a look.After seeing clearly that it was Marquis Wu of Chang'an County.She put down her hands, threw the two drumsticks to the ground, then knelt down and kowtowed: "I kowtow to the official. The woman surrendered herself today!"

Turn yourself in?

"What's the matter?" Marquis Wu asked again.

"Eight years ago, the poisoning case of the wife of the second householder of the Qiu family in Yankangfang!" The woman replied loudly.

The skinny Marquis Wu was startled when he heard the words, eight years ago?The poisoning case in Yankangfang?Is there a case for this?He couldn't help looking at the woman carefully.

"You said you surrendered yourself, who are you?" the skinny Marquis Wu asked cautiously.

"I am one of the main culprits in the poisoning case." The woman replied loudly with her head held high.

When the skinny Marquis Wu heard the words, his face immediately changed color.He had never seen a woman who had killed someone so righteously and with a loud voice.He hurriedly greeted the fat man who had been standing beside him in a daze, and said, "Go, quickly bring her in, this is not a place to talk."

Fat Marquis Wu hurriedly nodded, and the two of them put the woman's arms on her arms and brought her into the county court hall.

……

Wang Zhihai, the county captain of Chang'an County, looked at the kneeling woman in the hall with a little head.

"Eight years ago, Yankangfang Qiu Mansion..."

He muttered a few words, then looked up at the woman in front of him.

"What's your name? What's your relationship with the Qiu Mansion?"

"The woman is from Silla, her surname is Pu and her name is Suzhen. Eight years ago, she was the lady in charge of the cook in the Qiu Mansion in Yankang Fang." The woman replied.

Without Wang Zhihai's instructions, the master sitting next to him consciously began to record the confession of the surrendered criminal.

"Since you admit that you are the wife in charge of the Qiu family's cook, why do you want to kill the second wife of the Qiu family, Mrs. Xiao?"

Of course, Pu Suzhen would not tell the truth about her motive for killing to the government at this time. She only heard one sentence: "Instigated by the third Fang Tian of the Qiu family to pay for murder."

Wang Zhihai was taken aback, hey, is this an upgraded version of the ultimate house fight between women in the deep house compound?It's all to the point of killing people.

He pretended to cough twice to calm himself down. After clearing his throat, he continued to ask: "Then tell me, how did you kill Qiu's second wife?"

Pu Suzhen replied with a blank face: "The woman is a kind of medicinal material called Tuqingmuxiang obtained from the third housekeeper of the Qiu family, Nanny Song. Nanny Song told the woman that as long as a small amount of this medicinal material is taken every day, Adding it to Mrs. Xiao's meal many times, after a while, Mrs. Xiao will vomit and have diarrhea, and finally die of hematuria."

Wang Zhihai frowned, and glanced at the master beside him.The master flipped through the relevant records of the Qiu family that he had consulted before the trial, confirmed that Mrs. Xiao's symptoms at the time of her death were indeed as she said, and then nodded to his superior.

"What evidence do you have to prove that Nanny Song gave you the medicinal materials?"

"Yes, the woman left behind the cloth bag that Nanny Song used to pack this kind of medicinal materials at that time. If there is such an embroidery sample, it will be fine."

Wang Zhihai immediately asked someone to bring up the cloth bag, but before he held it in his hand, he heard Pu Suzhen, who was kneeling in the hall, continue to speak.

"The woman has one more thing, which can prove that this matter is related to Lady Tian."

She took out a piece of paper from her underwear and presented it to Marquis Wu.Wang Zhihai reached out to take the new evidence handed over by Marquis Wu, unfolded it, and found that it turned out to be a certificate of release from the city!
"The folk women were bought by Mrs. Tian and Nanny Song, and added this kind of medicinal material to the snacks provided to Mrs. Xiao every day. Mrs. Song passed on the words of Mrs. Tian, ​​saying that after Mrs. Xiao became poisoned, she would help the women to let go. This is the release document at that time, with the date of release on it, and the signature of Mrs. Tian's private seal. The county captain only needs to check the time of Mrs. Xiao's death and the date on the city certificate. , so you know that the woman is not lying."

This is a very convincing evidence, as long as we investigate the records of the household department at that time and the confessions of the relevant staff, we can prove the authenticity of this city bond.

If this market coupon is true, it at least shows that Tian must have something to do with the woman who surrendered herself.Maybe the two of them did reach some deals, otherwise, which master would easily agree to such a thing as helping a humble servant to change his nationality.

"Put this woman in jail first, this case needs further investigation, so she's out!" Wang Zhihai put the market coupons on the table and announced coldly.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Today a woman beat Dengwen Drum and surrendered to the Chang'an County Government about the murder in the Qiu Mansion eight years ago. Although the news was suppressed by the Wang Xianwei of Chang'an County, it was still known to many people.All of a sudden, the death of Xiao Shi, the second wife of the Qiu family, was found out, and all kinds of rumors and gossips flew like snowflakes, which made Mrs. Tian, ​​who was already devastated by the decline of her natal family, even more panic and uneasy.

"Pu Suzhen...why is she back...does she know that we have a relationship with Tingqin..." Mrs. Tian couldn't make up her mind.She grabbed Nanny Song's arm, looked flustered, and asked eagerly, "What should we do..."

Nanny Song lowered her head, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Madam, don't worry, the old woman will find a way to find out what the woman said in the hall. It has been many years, and she may not have evidence to prove it." That matter has something to do with you and me. If there is only a confession, presumably Wang Xianwei will not easily win her trust."

After hearing Nanny Song's words, Lady Tian finally calmed down a lot, and hurriedly waved her to go back quickly.After saying goodbye, Nanny Song turned and walked out of the third-bedroom courtyard.It's just that although she walked in a hurry, she didn't seem to be eager to do the errand entrusted to her by the mistress, but to escape from the mansion behind her that seemed to be eating her.

In fact, she is not as calm as she appears on the surface.Nanny Song was also very worried. If Pu Suzhen really had the evidence, she would not be able to find out the relationship no matter what. When the incident happened, would she be able to escape unscathed?
Nanny Song thought to herself that she was just an ordinary servant, if she hadn't been the nurse of Lady Tian, ​​she wouldn't have accompanied her to Qiu's house.Naturally, there is no need to help Lady Tian do such vicious things that kill people.Nanny Song felt that she had been wronged too, and now she was completely unwilling to think about taking advantage of Mrs. Tian's influence over the years to benefit her son and grandson in the Tian family and the Qiu family.He was just thinking about how he could escape the possible disaster in front of him.
