Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 794 Baozhi County Inquiry (2)
Chunhong knelt and moved forward a few steps, considered for a moment, and then said, "You know, the fairyland that our lord is looking for, wants to relocate the graves of the ancestors of the Hu family."

That place is in a cave not far from the Hu family's ancestral home. It was discovered by a person who went up the mountain to collect herbs by chance. It is said that there is an elixir of immortality in it.

July [-]th was the Hungry Ghost Festival, Hu Bailing had a whim, and took a few maidservants into the mountain, unexpectedly met a villain in the cave.

A few strong men seemed to be bandits. They surrounded the city and were violent to the woman in the middle.

At that scene, Chunhong's face turned pale, and her memory was still fresh.

"Since it was discovered that there was a villain raping a woman, why didn't he report to the government at the Yamen?"

Bao Zhixian spoke sharply, looking at Chunhong with staring eyes. People say that one thing more is worse than one thing less, but it would be too heartless to stand by and watch innocent women suffer.

"Because, because our lady knows that girl."

Chunhong wiped her tears and felt guilty when she mentioned a year ago.

The raped woman was Hu Bailing's fiancé Zeng Qing's personal servant girl named Qiuyue.

"Young master Zeng, but the son of Mr. Zeng, the magistrate of Lizhou?"

Zeng Qing was a concubine, and he engaged Hu Bailing, a young lady of the Hu family, as his wife. Because the other party was a son of an official family, the prefect Zeng asked to keep a low profile, so few people knew that the two houses were married.

The Hu family is doing business in Lizhou, so it is bound to get the care of Zeng Zhifu. It is not surprising that Bao Zhixian asked casually.

Qiuyue is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was quickly selected by Zeng Qing to be her personal servant girl.

Zeng Qing was not taken seriously in the Zeng family, and it was Qiuyue who accompanied him, supporting each other along the way, sharing joys and sorrows.

Last year, Zeng Qing passed the examination and finally gained a firm foothold in the Zeng family.

Zeng Qing said that after passing the Jinshi examination, no one in the Zeng family would dare to embarrass him. He didn't want anything, but only wanted to marry Qiuyue. She was so innocent, and being a concubine was too wronged for her.

Hu Bailing and Master Hu had learned a lot of tricks, and they bought off the servants around Zeng Qing in the Hu Mansion. They heard that their future husband was fascinated by a lowly vixen, and they wanted to trouble Qiuyue.

Seeing this scene, of course Hu Bailing would not go to the yamen to report the crime. She secretly hid in the natural cave formed by the stone and watched it with great interest.

Qiuyue was drugged with aphrodisiacs, her eyes were seductive, her lotus arms were wrapped around the strong man's body, and she kept begging for sex. Chunhong and the others were forced to hide inside, at least for a few hours.

"Later, Qiuyue's medicine wore off, and she couldn't bear the insult. She washed her body with water from the cave, hit her head on a stone, and died with regret."

The place where Qiuyue bumped her head happened to be on the stone wall where several people were hiding. She was too forceful, her head blossomed, and red and white brains sprayed Hu Bailing's face.

Perhaps watching Qiuyue's tragic death from a close distance, her eyes were staring in Hu Bailing's direction unwillingly. From then on, Hu Bailing had nightmares every night.

Those people still did not let go of Qiuyue's body after her death. Several people took turns to play again, yelling frantically.

After the bandits washed the ground with water, they left with Qiuyue's body. They were discussing how to preserve the body with ice cubes and play for another ten days and a half months.

When Hu Bailing came out with the maids, it was already dark, and the master and servants staggered down the mountain. In the distance, there was mist lingering in the mountain. She said that she saw Qiuyue standing in front of her covered in blood.

"Miss has nightmares, always crying that Qiuyue came back to find her, making her life worse than death."

Chunhong thought of reporting to the officials at the Yamen. Those people took away the body and didn't know where it was hidden, and there was no trace in the cave. Does anyone believe what they said?

The maidservants are from the families of unmarried girls, and seeing a few men raping Qiuyue, it would be detrimental to their reputation to speak out.

Several people present chose to remain silent, they did not mention it again, and after Hu Bailing went mad, the marriage between the two houses was abandoned.

Mr. Hu didn't have Zeng Zhifu as a reliance, he was thrown into trouble and lost tens of thousands of taels of big business, and he had a good opinion of his daughter.

At that time, Hu Bailing was his only child, and although Zeng Qing was a concubine, he couldn't come and marry him. However, the two families negotiated and selected one of their children to inherit the Hu family's property.

"The question becomes simple. The person who killed Miss Hu must be among you."

Baozhi County did not mention witnesses and physical evidence. He had already thought about it, and then confirmed it step by step according to his own thinking.

Trial, in fact, is also the process of reasoning to solve the case.

"My lord, this servant has been wronged! Although Miss did not save Qiuyue, she is not a treacherous person, and she is still very good to this servant."

Hu Bailing is moody and jealous. He is not a good master, but he is much better than someone who beats, scolds and abuses maids frequently. Chunhong can't think of any enemies that her young lady has.

"Luliu, you were Chu Qiuyue's personal servant back then, right? The Chu family was fired, and all the girls were reduced to official slaves. You were selected by Hu Bailing, and you have been working as an errand in the Hu family, right?"

After Bao Zhixian inspected the scene, he quickly deduced that the murderer must be among Hu Bailing's personal maids. Only in this way can he understand her routine.

There were not many traces of struggle in the room, and it happened that no one noticed within an hour of Miss Hu's death, so someone must have resorted to it secretly.

Luliu is the later servant girl, timid and kind, she has never heard of her original master's family.

Master Hu made a fortune late, none of the Hu family had children, they were all bought from Ren Yazi.

Lu Liu trembled and opened her mouth to speak, but finally her lips turned into a sigh.

"My lord, that's right, I killed Hu Bailing, because she deserves to die!"

Luliu clenched her fists, Baozhi County must have evidence, and Chunhong explained the whole story. Those people are not fools, and they must have thought of the tricks that day.

Luliu casually said that Hu Bailing fell asleep, and under normal circumstances Miss Hu would sleep for at least one or two hours, so everyone chose to be lazy after receiving the money.

She wanted to confess quickly so no one else would be involved.

"Miss, such a kind woman, was ruined by her bitch! She is not human, she deserves to die!"

Liu Lu burst into tears, sniffed her nose, wiped her red and swollen eyes with a veil, was about to speak, but couldn't breathe, and passed out.

"Come on, pour some water!"

Baozhi County showed no sympathy and no sympathy. He identified the murderer for no more than a quarter of an hour from the very beginning, and the murderer pleaded guilty.

The common people are boiling again, the trial of the murder case is so fast, and Luliu was not beaten into a trick. Was she pushed out to convict the dead ghost?
As for the evidence, someone needs to witness the murder, and it is not convincing.

Mo Yan crossed her arms with both hands, thinking it was very interesting, no wonder the common people couldn't accept it.

The normal process of adjudicating a case is to use witnesses and physical evidence, find clues from the evidence, and then decide on the murderer.
