Da Suining

Chapter 96 Pregnancy Test
Master Zhou's closing statement to the emperor is almost finished, this case must be handled quickly, and Xu Jun's head must be cut off, everything will be considered closed.

"This Xu Jun is very enlightened. In this way, he won't have to be tortured again, so I can explain to the emperor. I didn't expect this to go so smoothly." Master Zhou was very happy.

The last time I went to visit Xu Jun in the cell, he still wanted to live, and his mouth was stubborn, even if he was tortured, he never made him yield.

When I saw him this time, he was lying in a corner of the cell, his hair was like weeds, his eyes were dark, his pale lips were bloodless, and his clothes had a musty smell. A cockroach crawled on his face, and he didn't bother to chase it away with his hands. In a daze, Xiang Suining looked at him through the wooden door, but he didn't respond at all.

He hadn't eaten the soup and rice delivered last night, and even the jailer said that Xu Jun was going to ascend to heaven early.

"Since you didn't kill anyone, why did you confess?" Xiang Suining asked him.

"I killed people."

"You didn't say that before."

"I was wrong before."

How can I remember wrongly about the murder.

Xiang Suining could see that Xu Jun was perfunctory, and asked him deliberately: "Since you said you killed the man, let me ask you, how did Eunuch Chang die?"

"Of course I strangled him to death."

"What did you strangle him with?"

Xu Jun didn't expect that Xiang Suining would ask such a question. He thought hard, and after thinking for a while, his head hurt. What to do, strangle Eunuch Chang, of course with a rope, I hate him for ruining my wife's reputation, I hate him for making me lose my head, so he should be damned, a real man dares to act, anyway, I did it, Just kill me."

There was a sudden silence in the cell.

There are also a few murderers and arsonists who were locked up here. After they came in, they ate sticks or were tortured. They didn't need the yamen servants to burn red irons. They were already scared to death.

It's rare for Xu Jun to brag about killing people like this.

The prisoner only thought that Xu Jun's head was broken.

Mr. Zhou has already come in, and the closing statement has been written, all that is needed is Xu Jun's signature on it.

The conclusion of the case is written very clearly. Xu Jun's wife seduced Eunuch Chang and was discovered by Xu Jun. When the matter spread, Xu Jun was criticized by others, so he killed Eunuch Chang to vent his anger. As for the time, it was the time when Eunuch Chang, who was tested by Zheng Yu, died .But Eunuch Chang's fatal wound was on his neck, with two strangle marks, one thick and one thin.

Once the pledge is made, it is equivalent to admitting the statement in the closing statement, which is a capital offense.

Xu Jun couldn't wait.

Xiang Suining stopped him.

Mr. Zhou is a little dissatisfied, why is Xiang Suining a girl's family obstructing in every possible way?Could it be that she is more wise and powerful than himself, the master Qingtian?

What does a group of gentlemen have to do with a woman like her?Instead of embroidering at home and feeding the fish, what would she want to do in such a gloomy place?
"I made a bet, and I will make a bet now." Xu Jun was a little anxious: "Girl, don't ask any more questions, you can go."

"Master Zhou, I know you are Qingcheng's parental officer, and the closing statement is well-founded, but Xu Jun didn't kill anyone."

"Master Zhou, I killed the man, I admit it." Xu Jun was anxious.

Mr. Zhou became interested. His closing case writing was perfect. Even if he presented it to the emperor, he had a measure of advance and retreat, and the sentencing was standard. She, a daughter of a boudoir, actually said that the closing case writing was wrong, that Xu Jun didn't kill anyone?
Bold.

Master Zhou winked, and a yamen servant brought up a cloth shoe. Although the cloth shoe was made of ordinary black cotton cloth, the stitches were delicate and the color was seventy percent new. A moiré pattern, which means stepping up to the top of the clouds.

"The cloth shoes were found by the yamen servants from under the bed of Eunuch Chang's bedroom. I also found out that these cloth shoes were worn by Xu Jun when driving. I was afraid that he would be wronged, so I asked a few drivers who knew Xu Jun to identify them. They all said that the cloth shoes belonged to Xu Jun. If he hadn’t killed Eunuch Chang, how could his cloth shoes have appeared under Eunuch Chang’s bed? I also asked Xu Jun to try on them, and the shoes fit his feet perfectly.”

"I just need to ask Xu Jun a few questions, and everything will be clear."

The yamen servant handed over a stool, Master Zhou simply sat down and listened.

He wanted to see how this girl could prove that Xu Jun didn't kill anyone.

Xiang Suining wanted to ask questions, but Xu Jun shrank back. He lowered his head, not daring to look into Xiang Suining's eyes. Although he muttered that he had killed someone himself, his voice became smaller and smaller. It seemed that He also has no confidence in his heart.

"Xu Jun, say it again in front of Mr. Zhou, what did you use to strangle Eunuch Chang?"

"I... I... I use rope."

"How many ropes did you use?"

"Of course...it's one."

"How many times have you strangled Eunuch Chang?"

"I... I... once... once."

His eyes flickered, he hesitated, but after a few words, Xu Jun's forehead was sweating.

Mr. Zhou couldn't sit still any longer, the case closing book was still spread out there, with the details of the murder clearly written on it, those details, what Xu Jun said, didn't match at all, the details of Zheng Yu's test, the case closing book The statement on the Internet did not match what Xu Jun said.

How does this condemn a person to death?

tricky.

According to the conclusion of the case, it would be easy for Xu Jun to plead guilty under torture.

But Eunuch Chang is involved in this matter, if the emperor investigates carefully, wouldn't it be a bad thing for Xu Jun to be incoherent?

"My lord, I want to have a few private words with Xu Jun." Xiang Sui Ning blessed him.

Master Zhou glanced at her, and silently exited the cell.

Xu Jun still looked the same, not familiar with him, wiped the sweat from his brow, and started to eat the rancid soup and rice, maybe he wanted to be a hungry ghost, when he was worried that he would die, his stomach Stuck in the heart, can't eat anything, not afraid of death, and see through it, but hungry.

Mingzhu complained a bit: "Girl, since he wants to die, why should you let the girl not be seen by others?"

The door of the cell was closed, and a few yamen servants were around the table throwing dice and drinking, and the mice began to roam around recklessly.

A cockroach climbed up Xiang Suining's instep. Mingzhu looked down and almost cried out in fright. I've never seen such a big cockroach. It's almost as long as a human's thumb. It can give this cockroach wings. Fly.

Mingzhu endured the nausea and pulled the big cockroach off Xiang Suining's embroidered shoes, then stepped on it with her feet closed, and heard a "pop", the cockroach exploded, and a stream of slurry came out, that smell.

Xiang Suining didn't change his expression, he didn't even move his feet.

Xu Junjing, she is a man, sighed: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but—"

"I'm not for you, I'm for Eunuch Chang, I don't want him to die for no reason."

"Okay, but, just treat me as the one who killed you. Anyway, I'll just go underground to accompany Eunuch Chang. You don't have to come to see me anymore. In fact, you don't have to come to comfort me this time."

"I didn't come to comfort you."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I'm here to tell you that your wife raised a man outside."

"What did you say?" Xu Jun was holding the soup bowl, and his thick fingers almost crushed the bowl.

How long has he been in?His wife raised a man before the cell was warmed up?Leaving home on the front foot, there is a substitute on the kang of his house on the back foot?

Shouldn't be.

It's not so fast now, is it?
No matter how charming Yueniang is, she won't find her next home so quickly.

Xu Jun didn't believe it.

But the details Xiang Suining said made him stunned.

Xiang Suining originally didn't want to talk about those dirty things, like a gossip, but if she started to gossip, the gossips in the streets and alleys might not be her opponents.

Xiang Suining went into every detail, expressing vividly and vividly, no less than the storyteller under the overpass: "My maidservant and I saw Yueniang hugging a man, and that man entered your house in the dark and stayed there. It takes about a stick of incense to come out."

Mingzhu also helped and said: "When you came out, your Yueniang was still buttoning up her buttons, and her hair was messed up anyway. By the way, she even gave that man a sachet."

Xu Jun could hardly stand up.

But the world is so cruel, Xiang Suining didn't hide it at all: "In my opinion, this man should be Yueniang's lover, and he is an old man in his fifties..."

The old man in his fifties stimulated Xu Jun.

Yueniang's lover is an old man in his fifties.

He always thought it was Eunuch Chang, but it seemed that there was someone else. He hated the wrong person all these years?Yueniang hangs out with a man, and still plays him like a fool?
I was in prison, and I was about to die, but Yueniang and the old man kissed me like glue.

Xu Jun closed his eyes, not daring to imagine the scene, the soup bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and he couldn't stop shaking: "What's the use of what the girl said, it's too late for me to know now, you have to know, No matter how bad Yueniang is, she has been pregnant with my child for more than a month. Yueniang said that if I do not plead guilty, Master Zhou will arrest her and torture me to confess. Can I keep the child here? I have lived for three or 40 years, and there is only one child. For him, what does it matter if I die? As long as the child burns incense sticks for me in the future."

Yueniang has already visited Xu Jun.

In the past, she beat and scolded Xu Junfei, but this time when she came to visit in the cell, she cried very sadly. She said that she was in a bad mood because she was pregnant and beat and scolded Xu Jun, and said that she was afraid that the government would decide that she would not report her knowledge. Xu Jun's crime will bring disaster to the child, so I reported Xu Jun, and I was afraid that the government would treat her as an accomplice. If she was beaten severely, the child in her belly would be lost. As long as Xu Jun died peacefully, she would definitely raise the child and grow up. big.

Children are a person's weakness.

Xu Jun agreed without even thinking about it.

Even if he knew that Yueniang had committed adultery with others, he could bear it, as long as she gave birth to the child and raised it well.

Xiang Suining understood what Xu Jun was thinking, if he didn't open Yueniang's gap, Xu Jun would not let go.

The birth of Yueniang's child was strange, and it happened to be pregnant at this time, which was suspicious.

If Yueniang had no children, it would be another bolt from the blue for Xu Jun.

Anyway, he is a person who wants to die, so he doesn't care about one more bolt from the blue, right?
Alas, it is a bit difficult to bring back a person who wants to die.

For the pregnancy test, she had to ask Lu Yu for help.

Lu Yu is quite a reliable person, but when he heard the news, he almost spit out: "Who do you think is pregnant? Who is pregnant?"

"One named Yueniang."

"What does it matter to us whether she is pregnant or not?"

"It has nothing to do with us, but it has something to do with Eunuch Chang."

"Is Yueniang's pregnancy related to Eunuch Chang?" This relationship is a bit difficult to figure out.

Now that Xu Jun has been released from prison, Yueniang no longer has to shy away from him, so it is easy to come and go, and she is more diligent when she sees Master Nie.

She went into the jewelry shop with Mr. Nie, and it turned out to be Liuyunfang. She didn't seem to like it, or the things in Liuyunfang were too expensive. The two walked around and went into a cheaper shop. When they came out, There is already a silver hairpin on Yueniang's head, the silver hairpin is thin and not very good, it is worth about one or two taels of silver, it looks similar to the one that Xiang Suining gave Qiniang.

Presumably Yueniang saw Qiniang wearing a silver hairpin, so hurry up and ask her old boyfriend to buy one for her.

Be careful about this.

Seeing Yueniang coming out, Xiang Suining hurried up to meet her, and as soon as he let go, the handkerchief fell off, pretending to bend down to pick up the handkerchief and bumped into Yueniang's arm.

"I'm sorry, I was the one to be abrupt, are you alright?" Xiang Suining took Yueniang's arm, "It happens that I have a friend who is a doctor, so let him take your pulse to see if there is anything wrong."

Yueniang shook off Xiang Suining's hand: "I'm fine."

Lu Yu had already held Yueniang's wrist: "Your hand is bleeding, and a lot of it, let me show you." As he spoke, Lu Yu's hand had caught Yueniang's pulse.

Yueniang was also confused by this wave of fluent operations, why is her wrist bleeding?How come a doctor happened to come?This doctor seems to be specially prepared for her?Before she recovered, Lu Yu had already gotten his pulse.

The happy pulse is smooth, solid and powerful, like pearls.

Yueniang's pulse was calm and stagnant, she was not pregnant.

Yueniang is lying.

Lu Yu glanced at Xiang Suining, and winked at her twice, which was a signal, meaning that she was not pregnant.

Xiang Suining nodded, this was also a secret signal.

After receiving the code, Lu Yu said to Yueniang: "Congratulations, you are almost a month pregnant."

Yueniang and Master Nie were in a daze for a while.

Xiang Suining didn't say much to Lu Yu, turned around and left, hiding in a corner not far away and listening quietly.

Sure enough, Yueniang and Master Nie broke up.

"Now that dead ghost is going to be executed, and I'm pregnant, when do you plan to marry me?"

"Yue Niang, where did you invite someone to act in this play? Look at you, what good is it good to marry into Nie's mansion? None of my concubines are worry-free. Besides, I am old, so you It’s not small, wouldn’t it make people laugh if you do this again? You’re just my outer room, you’re not at ease, and I don’t have a lot of money from you.”

"But I'm pregnant, how can I hide my stomach? I just lied to that dead ghost, who knows that I will be punished if I cheat. I am really pregnant, what do you think? If you don't marry me, I will go find you Madam theory."

"Why make it so ugly? Besides, you've been pregnant for a month or so, who can tell that the child is mine? Don't you and Xu Jun sleep in the same room?"
