Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 450 Pingyuan Murder Case (Second Change)

Three days later, Yuan Xi brought a group of people here in the bustling streets of Pingyuan City, Pingyuan County, Qingzhou.

"Gu! Oh! Somebody heard that Uncle Liu Huang was the magistrate of Pingyuan County?" Yuan Xi suddenly asked softly, looking at Zhang Fei who was vigilant in all directions.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Yes, my son, my elder brother followed Tian Kai back then, and after Cao Cao's soldiers slaughtered Xuzhou, my elder brother led his troops to rescue him, and he left since then."

"It turns out that the emperor's uncle's benevolence and righteousness are admired by the world," Yuan Xi praised sincerely, as if he had completely forgotten that it was he who ordered the military command to kill Yecheng, which made Liu Bei hate Yecheng.

Who are the thickest-skinned people in this world? They are the overlords. There are too many secrets and too much darkness in their hearts. At this time, it is not recorded in the history books. In the history books, there are only their benevolence, love for the people, kindness, and justice.

"Thank you for your praise," Zhang Fei said gratefully.

"Young master, along the way, the prefects and county magistrates in various places are still very responsible. This Pingyuan City was not so prosperous before," Tian Feng praised.

"Who is the prefect of Pingyuan County?" Yuan Xi nodded and asked. It is really difficult for him to remember all the prefects of a county today.

"My lord, have you forgotten that the current prefect of Pingyuan County was appointed by you to judge Shen Hui, the son of the Lord, and you personally ordered the top [-] in the final exam?" Han Yan reminded with a smile.

"Oh! That's right, just thinking about it, Zijie was assigned here." Yuan Xi came to his senses. Because of Shen Pei's death, Yuan Xi felt apologetic to the Shen family, so after Shen Hui passed the exam, he was directly promoted to be a The prefect of the county, except for the top three, other students are far incomparable. It happened that the prefect of Pingyuan County resigned at that time, so Shen Hui immediately became the head of a county directly from a down-and-out son of a family.

"Looking at the situation now, the prefect did a good job and lived up to his father's reputation," Pang Tong praised.

Yuan Xi nodded, and said: "Shangshutai needs to pay more attention to these talented people below. Those who are talented and capable will be promoted when the time comes."

"Understood." Han Yan smiled.

Tian Feng, who was silent at the side, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of relief on his face, Shen Pei has a good relationship with him, and Shen Hui is his nephew, and he has always paid close attention to Tian Feng, but he needs to avoid suspicion about such things , it is inconvenient to say.

After the group walked for a certain distance, they suddenly saw a lot of people gathering together in a house not far to the left, as if they were watching the fun, but the surprise on their faces didn't seem to be quite like it.

"What happened?" Yuan Xi asked curiously.

"My lord, go ask Yi." Sima Yi immediately ran into the crowd.

After a while, Sima Yi came back and said solemnly: "My lord, there is a murder case. A young woman hanged herself. The yamen servants are here now."

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "Let's go and have a look."

"promise!"

After a group of people came to the crowd, Zhang Fei and Hu Niu'er immediately led the soldiers of the Shenwei Army to squeeze through a road. The people were a little dissatisfied at first, but when they saw the fierce faces of Zhang Fei and Hu Niu'er, they immediately Consciously let go a little.

When Yuan Xi brought people outside the house, he saw two yamen servants guarding the door to maintain order.

"It's really unlucky for Li Lao Liu to marry a daughter-in-law at the age of [-]. I didn't expect that the daughter-in-law became seriously ill after only two years."

"This Mrs. Liu is also suffering. I guess he can't survive, so he hanged himself."

"yes!". .

Hearing the discussions around, Yuan Xi's face flashed a trace of seriousness. In this era, the most feared thing is getting sick!One is that the development of medical care is slow, and the other is that it costs a lot of money to see a doctor, which is unaffordable for ordinary families. Therefore, many people do not die of illness, but directly drag to death.

"Take him down" At this moment, a voice that seemed very familiar rang in Yuan Xi's ears, and a thin man dressed as a farmer suddenly rushed out of the house with a face full of panic, and the guards immediately rushed up to arrest him. He catches.

"Is it Li Lao Liu?"

"How is this going?"

The people were suddenly surprised.

"Let go, let go, I'm not a murderer, how could I kill my daughter-in-law?" Li Laoliu struggled violently.

"Yes! Li Laoliu is a good wife"

"You can't wrong a good person!"

The people around suddenly stopped doing it, and spoke out one after another.

At this time, a man with a short beard, wearing a soap suit, and holding a jug in his hand, who seemed to be a little dazed and rather defeated, came out.

After hearing the dissatisfaction around him, a sneer appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and said: "Li Laoliu, you mean that a certain framed you"

"That's right, my lord made a mistake," Li Laoliu said unwillingly.

"Then why are you running?" the man said seriously.

"I, I was frightened," Li Laoliu said hastily.

"Really?" The man stood up, looked at the gathered people and said, "Everyone doesn't seem to believe it, so let's come in and have a look."

Hearing this, the common people were immediately curious and followed them in. Yuan Xi looked at the yamen servant in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this person is so familiar! I seem to have met him somewhere," Han Yan suddenly said softly.

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Let's go take a look too."

"promise!"

After arriving outside the main hall of the house, Li Laoliu was thrown on the ground by the yamen servants, and saw a middle-aged woman hanging from a rope on the hanging beam at this time, which aroused a lot of fear.

The man pointed at the corpse and said, "Li Lao Liu, you said you saw your wife hanged on the hanging beam after you came back from business, right?"

"That's right, she doesn't want to implicate me!" Li Laoliu cried bitterly.

The man shook his head and smiled, and said, "You are a vegetable seller, and you always bring baskets with you when you go out. Someone asked you, where are the baskets after you come back?"

Li Laoliu shrank his pupils, and said: "At that time, I was too scared, so I don't remember much."

"I don't remember, then someone came to tell you that your baskets are neatly placed in the side room. You said that you were too scared, so when you saw that scene, you immediately reported to the yamen, then your baskets should have fallen. At the door, but not now, don't tell someone that your wife is dead, and you still have the intention to tidy up the house honestly," the man sneered.

Li Laoliu trembled all over, and said: "Maybe this is the help of the left leader and the right shepherd."

Hearing this, the man nodded and said: "I knew that you would say that, and it is indeed possible. If so, it is indeed inappropriate to convict you."

"Then" the man suddenly walked to the small wooden stool under the corpse as a step, and after he straightened it suddenly, many people were shocked. They saw that the stool was still quite far away from Liu's legs. That is to say, it is impossible for Mrs. Liu to hang herself with this small wooden stool.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi looked at the traces of confidence on the man's face, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after a few instructions to Hu Niu'er next to him, he led them away directly.

At this time, the man just raised his head and glanced at Yuan Xi's back, and his heart trembled involuntarily.

"My lord, the little one is just confused for a while, please spare my life!" Seeing this scene, Li Laoliu trembled all over, and cried and begged for mercy.

Hearing this, the people were immediately outraged.

"You are so human! Although your wife is seriously ill, she is not a burden to the family. You actually killed her. How can you bear it?"

“We were so terrified”

After being awakened by the people, the man looked at Li Laoliu who was kneeling and crying bitterly, and frowned, "Take him back to the Yamen, put him in prison, and wait for his punishment."

"promise!"

At this time, a yamen servant suddenly knelt down in front of the man and said in admiration, "Brother Xu, you are really good at solving cases! Since you came, there have been no more unjust cases in Pingyuan County."

The man was taken aback, smiled wryly, and after helping the yamen servant up, he shook his head in shame, picked up the flagon and took a deep sip, and under the admiring eyes of the common people, he left slowly, a little staggering.

When the man came outside, Hu Niuer suddenly led a few people to stand in front of him, and said with a smile: "Old Xu, I didn't expect you to hide here, do you remember someone?"

The man looked carefully with his somewhat confused eyes, and suddenly his whole body trembled. The gourd lightly fell to the ground, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
