The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 28

The real county magistrate pretends to be the king of hell and the fake Yin official judges the adulterer
But he said that Mrs. Zhou was tortured arbitrarily in the hall. Instead, he scolded Xu Detai once, saying that he had been entrusted by Di Gong to frame him intentionally. These words made Di Gong furious, and he ordered someone to beat him dozens of times immediately. Palm, still blindly talking nonsense.Di Gong thought to himself: "This adulteress has been tortured like this and refuses to confess. She has been tortured so much. If she is punished with non-criminal punishment, it may still be of no avail. Why don't she threaten her like this and see what she does? After thinking about it, To Bi Zhou's family, he said: "This county is asking you hard today, but you have never changed your mind. If you use torture again, I am afraid that you will be killed now. I especially think that your husband Bi Shun is dead and cannot be resurrected, and there is an old mother in the hall." , If you are compensated, your old man will be helpless.If you tell the truth, even though it is an unjustifiable crime, the county may take care of relatives and elders, and your life will be saved.You have to think about it carefully, whether it is true or not, you have the right to be imprisoned today, and you will go to court tomorrow morning, and then you will confess. "At the end of the speech, the men still took the adulterers and adulterers away, and each of them was imprisoned, and then retreated into the back hall."

When I arrived at the study, I sat down and summoned Ma Rong, Mrs. Qiao and four others to come in together.At that time, when he was inside, Di Gong said to Ma Rong and others: "This case has not been confessed for a long time, and there is no wound when it is opened. Looking at the adulterer and adulterer, it is annoying that the case cannot be settled for a while. Now there is a plan. Therefore, it must be like this, like this, like this, before you can do anything. You have never seen Bi Shun's figure in the sun before, so you don't know what it looks like. If you can visit clearly, then you won't be afraid that she will refuse to confess Ma Rong said: "How difficult is this? Although I have never seen it before, I saw the face on the day when the coffin was opened. If you still look for your appearance, it is difficult to be very cool. If you follow the same gourd, this is a good plan." Di Gong said: "Since you said it is not difficult, you can look for it now. Although it is not very suitable, you can pretend to come when it is deeper at that time." Ma Rong and others agreed to go on and handle it by themselves.Di Gong also ordered Mrs. Qiao, Tao Gan, and Hong Liang to work separately. After the second watch, all of them would be done, so that Di Gong could interrogate them, and they would go to each other without mentioning it.

Let's say that Mrs. Bi Zhou was in the hall, seeing that Mr. Di was rude, so he reused these lies in order to leave the hall. He thought to himself, "I hate this Xu Detai for being heartless and ungrateful. He has suffered so much for him. He pointed out half a word that when he came to the church for the first time today, he confessed directly, and even taught me to confess, could it be that I had this erotic dream by mistake?" Then he said: "Although you didn't intend to harm me, because you can't survive the torture, you regret it. Get up and try to die in order to take your life. I don't know that your crime is light and mine is serious. Since you recruited me, you don't know when you do it anyway. You can't rule me out." One person was thinking wildly in the prison.

Unexpectedly, after the second drum, there was a ghost scream, and a gust of wind blew in. Zhou's hair stood on end, and he trembled, feeling really scared in his heart.

Unexpectedly, just as he was terrified, the prison door suddenly opened, and a man with a disheveled head and black face came in. When he came to the front, an evil ghost grabbed Mrs. Zhou by the head and cursed loudly: "You whore, you killed your husband!" , suffered torture, and refused to confess, but I know that your husband has sued, and now I am waiting for you to confront him in front of the king's platform, and follow me quickly." He said, stretching out his extremely cold hand, and dragging Walk.At this time, Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that her soul was out of her body, and she was in a daze. She couldn't help but followed the evil spirit.I walked through some dark places, and arrived at a place with some palaces. Many people with green faces and long teeth stood at the bottom of the steps. There were so many torture instruments at the entrance, knives, oil pans, iron mills, and nothing was missing.There is a big koan in the middle, and there is no high-level lighting in the middle, only a pair of green candles the size of mung beans are lit on the candlesticks. The light is faint, and it is really scary. My heart felt like a deer for a while, I was dumbfounded and didn't dare to speak a word.Looking up again, I saw a blue-faced Hades sitting in the middle, with a gauze cap and yellow beard, and his face was full of anger; the first person held a file in his left hand and a pen in his right, his eyes were like copper bells, and his face was like black paint. Wait and see for yourself; there are many bulls' heads and horse faces standing below, each holding a knife, gun and stick, so Mrs. Zhou had to kneel at the entrance of the hall.Seeing the secret messenger who mentioned her, he went up and kneeled down before the case and said: "As sent by the king of hell, because Bi Shun's death is unknown and his grievances have not been reported, he is hereby suing his wife Zhou's daughter for murder. Today I was ordered to bring the defendant to court, and now Mrs. Zhou has come to the case, and I would like to ask the King of Hades to investigate." The king of Hades in the middle spoke angrily: "This adulteress has already been brought here, and she will be tortured by being boiled in a frying pan. , and then confront her husband, Bi Shun." Before the words were finished, those bull-headed and horse-faced men, wielding knives and guns, ran straight from below, and when they arrived in front of Mrs. Zhou, a gust of wind suddenly passed, and Mrs. Zhou was about to shout. He was shot, and in an instant, the blood flow continued.Both sides were about to start together, when suddenly the official who was writing the pen shouted: "Your Majesty, please appease your anger. Even if the Zhou family cannot escape the scourge, you will bring Bi Shun to the case for interrogation, and then you will be convicted." After listening, he shouted to the bottom: "Where is Bi Shun? Bring him!" There was a promise from both sides, but seeing the wind howling and the lights dim, a young evil spirit walked out from the back of the hall. In front of Mrs. Zhou, she held Mrs. Zhou with one hand and yelled twice: "Give me back my life!" Mrs. Zhou looked up and saw that it was her husband Bi Shun who was coming, and fell backwards and fell to the ground. Shouted: "Bi Shun you and come here. Since your wife is already here, are you afraid that she will not confess in the Senluo Hall? Why did you ask for her life in front of the hall? You will repeat what it was like when you were dying that day. , in order to cross-examine Zhou."

After hearing this, Bi Shun fell down in front of the case, threw his head, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and the tongue was more than a foot long sticking out of his mouth, and he said straight up: "My lord, don't ask any more questions. It's desolate, the criminal statement is full of the truth, I beg the lord to ask her according to the pleadings." Hearing this, the King of Hades rummaged through the case for a while, found a pleading, unfolded it and looked at it for a while. , couldn't help but slapped the case and said angrily: "There is such an adulteress in the world who plots to murder her. She is really delusional. If her husband hadn't come to accuse her, how could she know of her evil plan? Left and right, serve me with a pot of oil! If Zhou's half He hesitated, thinking of cunning, and will fork Zhou's family into the frying pan so that she will never reincarnate." The two sides agreed, and many evil ghosts came down one after another, refueling, refueling, and fueling the fire.Waiting for Zhou's confession, he will fork her in.

Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Zhou was determined to die, but regardless of her life, she confessed that she had murdered something, and went forward to confess: "My husband usually runs a woolen store in Huanghua Town. Since the little woman came in, the business has been increasing day by day. Indifferent, three meals a day, hard to eat. In addition, the mother-in-law is restless day and night, making unreasonable noises, the little woman should not have evil thoughts because of this, and want not to marry someone else. One day Xu Detai suddenly went to the store to buy things. Seeing him young and beautiful, he was lustful for a while He was born suddenly, so he had the intention of loving him. Later, he visited and found out that his family was rich and unmarried, so that every time he came here, he would seduce him as much as he wanted, and then he had sex with him. After moving to his home, he happened to be married to the Xu family. There is only one wall apart, and the mind of the underground cave was born again, so that I can go in and out frequently. In short, the day by day, the affection is deep. But I feel that it is not a long-term solution. I can only stay here temporarily on weekdays. , wanted to put Bi Shun’s husband to death. But it happened that on the Dragon Boat Festival that day, there was a big row of dragon boats. He brought his daughter back to play. After dinner, he was a little bit drunk. Afterwards, he used a steel needle inserted into the sole of a shoe, and pointed it directly at his head, and he screamed, and died of breathlessness. The above is the little woman's factual statement, and there is absolutely no lie." The superior shouted "You cruel whore, why don't you just use this steel needle to nail his head and heart?" Zhou said: "It's obvious that the little woman died from other wounds. It is an extremely fine thing, the needle penetrates inside, the outside is covered with hair, and after death there will be plaster accumulation, it is difficult to open the coffin for inspection, and the wound cannot be inspected for a while. This is the meaning of fearing that the case will be solved in the future." The superior shouted again: "Your husband said that you conspired with Xu Detai, why didn't you spit him out, and also made your daughter dumb with him? This form was written clearly, why didn't you confess it truthfully? It is obvious that you are in my Senluo Hall Come on, dare to be so cunning!"

Seeing that King Yan Luo was so angry, Mrs. Zhou was afraid of yelling again, stopped the oil pan, and quickly kowtowed below: "Xu Detai really didn't know about this matter, because he asked me many times, but he didn't explain it to him. Until the daughter medicine Mute. This is when Xu Detai came to the room that day, she saw it, fearing that she would gossip outside and this matter would be exposed. So he came up with an idea to use earwax to make her dumb. Nothing else will happen, please forgive me. " Zhou's confession, just listen to the above shouting: "you, a woman, can't escape from this hell. Now let you go back to the yang world, and wait to report to the king of Hades in the ten palaces. Then you will be ordered to accept the punishment The bitterness of the knife mountain and oil pan." After finishing speaking, there were still two disheveled evil spirits, who lifted her up and down in front of the hall, and carried her into the prison like the wind, and put the torture equipment on her behalf.Zhou waited for the evil ghost to leave, she broke out in a cold sweat, trembling very much, confused and puzzled: If it is said to be the underworld, why are the eyes open; if you are not asleep, how can you be confused?If not, where did these bull-headed and horse-faced evil spirits come from?All in one's mind, one's heart is filled with fear, thinking that one's life is in jeopardy.

Judge, do you know who made this King of Hades? Is it really a hell?It was because Di Gong couldn't make a confession in this case, it was difficult to use torture, but he couldn't find any wounds, so he couldn't be sure, so he came up with this plan and ordered Ma Rong to find a person who was a little bit like him in the various missions. Bi Shun agreed, so he was asked to pretend to be the dead ghost Bi Shun.Ma Rong pretended to be a judge, Qiao Taitong Hong Liang pretended to be a bull's head and horse face, Tao Gantong was on a daily job and pretended to be an underworld messenger, and the rest of the knives, mountains, oil and steel were all made of paper.Mr. Di was on it, and his face was blackened with black smoke. It was midnight, and there was no moonlight, and there was no light on it, only a little mung bean-like candle. That miserable appearance, isn't it like a hellish hell?At this time, since Di Gong had obtained the confession, he was very happy in his heart, and retreated to the back hall at that time for the review tomorrow.I don't know what will happen next, let's see the next chapter.
