Pastoral affairs

As soon as the jailer left, Nie Qing breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that her chest began to throb again, the blood flowed happily in her body, and her palms became slightly warmer.As soon as she regained her senses, she pinched Chen Xiaojun hard. Just as Chen Xiaojun was about to open his mouth to cry out for pain, Nie Qing stretched out her hand to cover his mouth and nose, and said in a dark voice, "Brother Chen, do you want to die?"

Naturally, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help shaking his head, and Nie Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and said coldly:

"I'll let go of my palm, and you should be quieter." Seeing that Chen Xiaojun understood, Nie Qing didn't dare to let go of her hand all at once. Instead, she talked to him about what happened before, and looked at Chen Xiaojun while talking. Her face became calmer, and then she slowly moved her hand away, and she finally said: "We just need to stay for a while, be honest, don't show any signs, and then you will be fine, if you encounter trouble, you will act like before. In a panic, let's wait for the beheading together!" Chen Xiaojun suddenly began to tremble again.

Nie Qing thought that what she did was unnoticed, and Dali Temple did not find evidence of Nie Qing's crime for a while. After she and Chen Xiaojun were imprisoned for more than a month, it was found that she had committed nothing. , naturally let her out.At this time, Mrs. He went back to the county and met He Yuannian's mother again. Instead of talking about what happened in Beijing, He Yuannian was the only son of their family. Nie Qing was framed and imprisoned for more than a month, and suffered a lot. Naturally, He Yuannian's mother felt distressed and cursed again and again. Besides, mother and son were connected. After He said that He Yuannian had disappeared, He Yuannian His mother, Zhu Shi, always dreamed that her son was covered in blood and asked her to save her life.She instinctively felt that her son might not be well, so she packed her things and went to Beijing with her husband.

By the time the Zhu family arrived in Beijing, it was almost the beginning of October.In Cui Mei's case, because the child has not been found yet, she has not been convicted yet.Of course, there is also the reason of Nie Qiuran, his main purpose is Nie Qing, and before killing them all, Cui Mei can't easily convict them first, otherwise Nie Qing won't be able to say the whole thing. Push it on her, if Cui Mei pleads guilty, she will be punished.At that time, Nie Qing would instead blame her for everything, and the loss outweighed the gain.

The closer Mr. Zhu was to Beijing, the stronger the bad feeling. She had received advice from Mr. He before, so she directly found the inn where Mr. He was staying, and began to ask questions one by one.It has been more than two months now.It has been almost three months since the disappearance of He Yuannian that He Shi said at the beginning, and there is no news of her son. She guessed that it might be bad, and she didn't dare to meet Nie Qing, because she was afraid The woman was so mad that she would kill herself at that time.So that I can't give my son a head.She made open and unannounced visits everywhere, but her hard work paid off.Later, Mrs. Zhu found out some news. He heard that he played with an oiran in Baihualou Zhonghe Yuannian and went back.

Regarding his son, Mrs. Zhu is very clear about his virtues. He is a womanizer, but Mrs. Zhu is also very clear about how much silver his son has. Can do it.But let him linger in the brothel from time to time, and he has to groom the oiran.That is absolutely impossible.Zhu Shi naturally had doubts in her heart, and after listening to He Shi talking about her son's abnormal situation a few days ago, she knew that Nie Qing was an unclean person, and wondered if her son threatened Nie Qing. Asking her to give money made Nie Qing feel malicious in her heart.

Thinking of this, Zhu's heart suddenly panicked, she was almost sure at this moment that her son might not be well anymore.She was very sad in her heart, and then a wave of resentment arose, and she managed to hold back the panic in her heart. Early the next morning, after being instructed by someone, she went to Dali Temple and began to beat drums to complain about her grievances.

As soon as the people in Dali Temple received the report, they immediately sent people to bring the Zhu couple to the Yamen.He Yuannian's father was very sad at this time, but he couldn't say anything. Although his mother Zhu Shi was feeling uncomfortable, she was very angry at this moment, and she opened her mouth and said, "Master Qingtian! The woman sued the champion Nie's family for murdering my son. Life, please be the master!"

Once Nie Qiuran was involved in the matter, Dali Temple naturally dared not make its own claims, but submitted the case.The emperor had just taken charge of affairs recently, and it was time to eliminate the prince's influence. When he heard that the case was related to Nie Qiuran, and Nie Qiuran was the number one scholar when the prince was in power, Nie Qiuran and the prince's capable servant Luo The emperor will naturally have some ideas in his mind, and naturally he attaches great importance to this case, so he ordered the Imperial Envoy Platform and the Ministry of Punishment to form three divisions together with the Dali Temple to jointly hear the case!

The emperor has already opened his mouth and made such a gesture. Even if there were major cases in the Daqing Dynasty in these years, they were usually examined by the local county government and then sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval. But the case that could really be used to make the minds of various ministries gather together for trial can almost be said to have never happened during the life of the emperor when he ascended the throne. Naturally, the case has attracted the attention of the people in Shangjing.

As the defendant on the other side of the incident, Nie Qiuran naturally expected that the matter would develop to this point.It doesn't matter if there is a big trouble, because of Luo Xuan's relationship in this life, although it is a help, it is also a hindrance to him. The emperor would not want to see a servant colluding with his courtiers. If so, he would just blindly suppress him. I'm afraid Not brilliant, not easy to get ahead without special methods.If he wants to wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, relying entirely on Luo Xuan to become an official, Nie Qiuran's self-esteem does not allow him to do so, so now that this matter breaks out, it will be beneficial and not harmful to him, not to mention that it will cause a big trouble Nie Qing couldn't escape anymore.

Nie Qing, Chen Xiaojun and others already knew about this matter. As early as the second day after Zhu's complaint, Chen Xiaojun went to the prison with a pale and sick face. He is famous, and he is the number one scholar of the imperial court. Even ordinary scholars can not kneel when they meet officials. Naturally, with his status, he should have been imprisoned, and of course he doesn't need to. From time to time, he looked around for traces of He Yuannian. After all, the emperor didn't want to make a big fanfare trial. In the end, the person who was thought to be dead was still alive. .

Also because of this, during this period of time, people in Dali Temple have started a carpet-like search in the capital. Later, because of the help of Nie Qiuran's people, the natural direction of investigation began to follow the direction Nie Qiuran had already arranged. Going to investigate, He Yuannian was exposed by someone who disappeared for no reason a few months ago and then took a large sum of money. At this time, many people knew that he had a large amount of money from nowhere behind his back, and he was in Beijing. The Zhongbaihualou contained the news that the oiran was greedy and indulged all day long for seven or eight days.After that, He Yuannian went back to the inn, and then disappeared without a trace. Because of this incident, the people in the inn were implicated, and even the shopkeeper was arrested.

The place where Nie Qing lived was naturally turned upside down, but someone found some clues, but many people saw He Yuannian's going out that day, so things froze here again.

As the saying goes, live to see people, die to see corpses.Now He Yuannian has disappeared, he is nowhere to be seen alive, and his body cannot be found when he dies. Although his mother Zhu and his father insisted that He Yuannian had already been killed by Nie Qiuran in the Nie family at this time, His Majesty the Emperor took advantage of it. At this time, Nie Qiuran's family was moved out of the original Liu Cheng's mansion, and the palace was turned upside down, but no trace was found. Naturally, what Zhu said was not true.

And at this moment, someone reported in the northwest of Shangjing that there was a stench coming from the place where people piled up some waste. It rained yesterday, and the dog at home suddenly ran out and bit back a rotten human palm bone. At that time, the resident couldn't help being frightened. The resident was located in the most remote place in the north of Shangjing. It was rarely crowded and deserted. Because some beheadings were held in that direction, everyone felt that there was evil spirits there. There is a lot of resentment, and ordinary people don't want to go there easily, and if it is not special when beheading prisoners, almost all of them are sentenced to beheaded after autumn. At the beginning, no one went there. Where did such a thing come from.

Just now the case of Zhu's suing the Nie family for murder caused the Dali Temple to be in a mess, and now someone reported that there was a corpse hidden in such a sinister place.Immediately, the people in Dali Temple were overwhelmed, and they quickly sent people to search around, and they really found a place to bury the dead, and dug out a corpse whose bones were already incomplete due to wild dogs!

It looks like he just died for more than three months, but the weather was the hottest three months ago, and it is not ruled out that the person died for only two months or three months, but it was rotten due to the weather. It's just faster!During this period of time, no one was reported missing at all.For a while, all the people in Dali Temple complained, and now the corpse has been rotting for several months, and it is so disgusting that the person who brought the corpse back could not eat for a long time, so he came over to check, and said that the deceased died of a knife wound. Being flexible, he began to connect this matter with the case of He Yuannian. He was quite a headache at first, and the people in Dali Temple who felt that they had no direction immediately lit up when they heard this, as if they had found a direction to solve the case. Started to act.

First of all, although the deceased had been dead for a long time, his body was decomposed, and his face seemed to be scratched with a knife before his death, but there were no clues on him.First of all, he was still wearing clothes wrapped around his body. Although the wrapped things had been wrapped around the corpse for several months and were stained with corpse water, some patterned fabrics and traces could still be vaguely seen on it.
