Cifengque

Chapter 104

"Chen Chen, you refuse to admit that you have joined forces with Wu Zheng to defile and murder Wu's daughter. Why are you at the place where the incident happened?"

When Junci arrived in Jingzhao County, the case was already under trial. She entered through the side door and had to go around the back of the hall to reach the interrogation hall. When she heard Han Feng's serious interrogation voice, she stopped in her tracks.

I only heard Chen Zhen's honest and honest voice clearly: "Reporting to the envoy, today is the holiday of Wu Banzhu. Wu Banzhu has always been stubborn. The general feared that he would make trouble when he went to rest, so he sent me to follow in secret. I saw Wu Banzhu follow him A group of people entered the flower building, and when they chased to the flower building, they were stabbed unconscious with a needle. After waking up, they were at Blacksmith Wu's house.

I went up to wake up Master Wu, and Blacksmith Wu just returned home. He opened the door and saw that our clothes were disheveled, and Wu's daughter died on the couch. Killed the two of us, the two of us dodged in the room, attracted the guards next door, and were brought here with Blacksmith Wu. "

"I have already sent someone to the Hualou to investigate. The person in charge did say that you went to the Hualou to look for Wu Zheng, but he said that he had never seen Wu Zheng. After that, you will look for someone on your own, and no one will testify for you." Han Feng said coldly. Said, "You said that someone stabbed you unconscious with a needle, do you remember who it was?"

Chen Zhen opened his mouth, thinking carefully that he was a woman, at that time he finally found Wu Zheng, his eyes were full of Wu Zheng, two girls passed him by, and immediately his shoulder hurt , He really couldn't remember what this woman looked like.

"My lord, I happened to see Banzhu Wu at that time, and I just wanted to stop Banzhu Wu, and passed by two women, and then I was conspired to faint." Chen Zhen replied truthfully.

"Chen Chen! You entered the flower building at noon, and you went there at noon to become a fan. But Wu Zheng said that he had never stayed in the flower building, and entered the flower building at the end of the day. Hearing from his companions that someone was following him, he left the flower building at noon. Lou, the reason why he can remember it was noon is because when he left, Hualou offered tea at noon, and because he walked through the back door, he saw the servants carrying the tea into the main hall."

Han Feng's tone became more and more fierce: "You said that you saw Wu Zheng after a quarter of an hour!"

"Therefore, someone is plotting against me and Banzhu Wu, please let me know!" Chen Chen sullenly, with a dignified righteousness.

"This is the result of the official's inspection of Wu's daughter's body with a labor concubine." Han Feng held a piece of paper and stared at Chen Zhen and Wu Zheng with cold eyes. Lost in despair, he read it in front of them, "The official deduced that Wu's daughter should have died at noon today, from one quarter to two quarters before Blacksmith Wu returned home. There will be more than an hour. Neither of you has any witnesses!"

Hearing this, Jun Ci turned to the guard who led her and said, "Can I meet the orderling and the concubine who inspected Wu's daughter's body?"

The magistrate is the official who examines the corpse, and the concubines are the prisoners who are responsible for assisting the magistrate to examine the corpse. These prisoners did not make mistakes on their own, but were implicated by their families and had some knowledge.

The imperial court gave these slaves some chances to redeem their sins, such as checking corpses, and after reaching a certain number of years, they could get rid of slavery.

Wu's daughter is a woman, and the official is a man. Naturally, she can't insult the body of the deceased, so she can only find a concubine. If it is a man, she is called a laborer.

After listening to Jun Ci's words, the officer went to ask Han Feng for instructions, but Han Feng did not stop him, and Jun Ci met the official and concubine Lao Li without any problems.

"The lower officials (untouchables) pay respects to the general."

"Excuse me." Jun Ci raised his hand, "Let me ask you, is there anything unusual in Blacksmith Wu's house?"

The two looked at each other cautiously, and the official asked in trepidation, "What is the strangeness that the general said?"

"Since you are an official, you should have handled many similar cases. How is it different from the usual ones?" Junci asked.

After listening to the official, he thought about it carefully and said: "When the general said this, the subordinate officials felt that there were two differences. One is the place where Wu's daughter died, and it was wet. The water soaked the bedding, and the other was Wu's death. The girl's body is extremely cold."

The corners of Jun Ci's lips twitched when he heard the words. She already knew the ins and outs of everything. Yuan Duo wanted to use Wu Zheng to deal with her, and only let Wu Zheng go out alone. Even if Yuan Duo killed someone, she would not be able to blame her. On her head, Xiu Muri was killed, and the Wu family couldn't hate her.

To have a relationship with her, there must be someone from her, that's why she sent Chen Chen to protect Wu Zheng.

Naturally, Chen Chen was also bait, and a Yuan Duo would use it to implicate her.Yuan Duo was not easy to deal with. Once he made a move, it would be very difficult for Chen Chen to escape his trap. Jun Ci even sent Xiao Liu to follow Chen Chen secretly.

The daughter of the Wu clan had died a long time ago. Before Chen Chen and Wu Zheng were plotted against, she died unexpectedly. Xiao Liu told her everything, and Chen Chen and Wu Zheng were taken to Wu Blacksmith's house. Soon they moved to the Wu family. The girl is back.

The magistrates of this dynasty are all well-informed people. When the dead body died, not to mention precise calculations, but they can be close to each other. But if they want to frame Wu Zheng and Chen Chen, there may be a difference of one or two hours in between. There is only one way to mislead the officials to judge the wrong time of death based on the reaction of the corpse, and hide the corpse in the ice room.

It's scorching hot now, and the ice room can only be used by noble families!Ordinary wealthy households may not have one, let alone an ice room for hiding corpses!
After the official finished speaking, he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.

He knew that Wu's daughter did not die at the time he had predicted, and the real murderer involved someone who could afford the ice room!

"You don't need me to remind you what you want to say to Shijun Han?" Junci looked at the official indifferently.

Since the magistrate was sent to take charge of this matter, he naturally knew the origins of Wu Zheng and Chen Chen, and Jun Ci had also been to the prefect's mansion, so how could he dare to fool him: "I will go now..."

When the official left, Junci was about to step up when a voice stopped her: "General!"

Junci stopped and looked sideways at Concubine Lao Li who kept her head down. This concubine Lao Li was very thin. She raised her head to reveal a beautiful and beautiful face. Although there were some stains and her complexion was sallow, she still couldn't hide her beauty. Beautiful, those extremely calm almond eyes reveal a vicissitudes that are hard to see: "General, there is flesh and blood in the seam of Wu's female armor. Those who defile her should have been scratched by her."

With a heroic slender eyebrow raised, Jun Ci carefully looked at the concubine laborer in front of him: "What's your name?"

"Untouchable Lu Hehua."

"There is Fusu in the mountains, and Hehua in Xi." Jun Ci nodded and left.

Lu Hehua's words are indeed helpful to her, and she will reward or give him what she needs as appropriate.

When Jun resigned to the main hall, the main hall was exceptionally quiet.
