Chapter 24 Doubt(1/2)
Li Baniang said: "Did I say that?"
Zhao Xing sneered, "Are you treating everyone present as deaf? Sir, I'm afraid there is another hidden secret in Sun Mengwu's case. Tianmoluo was found from Baihua Building, and Li Baniang must be involved. Please take Li Baniang into custody.
Let the case be reopened."
Li Baniang was completely panicked.
"It's all Xiaoqing's doing, it has nothing to do with the slave family!"
"I'm afraid Xiaoqing has been silenced by you."
Suddenly I heard someone shouting: "You are about to die, but you still dare to bite randomly?"
"Who's making the noise?"
A young man dressed as a waiter came out of the crowd, knelt down on the ground, and saluted Sun Zhaohai and others. Fan Xiaodao knew this man, and it was Li Cai, the waiter from Baihualou. It was he who provided the two with a small gift last time.
News of Qing's murder.
"My lord, this villain Li Cai is a clerk at Baihualou. Miss Sun's death was caused by Li Baniang's poisoning herself. Not only that, she also killed Miss Xiao Qing. This villain saw this with his own eyes. Please take a closer look!"
When Li Baniang saw that her confidant Li Cai also stood up, she suddenly felt despair.
She knew that she had been abandoned.
Li Baniang looked at Li Cai, "You obviously killed Xiao Qing, why did you trap me?"
An imperceptible smile appeared on Li Cai's lips.
Baihualou is Baihualou, and Li Baniang is Li Baniang. He is a clerk in Baihualou, but he is not Li Baniang's slave. Since the higher authorities want to give up on Li Baniang, sooner or later someone will be responsible for this case. If a Taoist friend is dead rather than a poor Taoist, then of course it is Li Baniang.
Moreover, the superiors promised that once Li Baniang dies, the new owner of Baihua Building will be himself.
It is worth the gamble to trade one life for the rest of the body.
With all the witnesses and physical evidence, Li Baniang had no chance. She saw Qian's consort standing in the corner, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qian's clothes, "Consort Qian, save me!"
Consort Qian had learned a lesson just now, so how could he come forward now? He covered his sleeves and said: "Actually, we don't know each other very well."
Seeing that the case was back on track, Sun Zhaohai asked: "Li Cai, please tell me the situation that day."
Li Cai said respectfully: "Sir, Miss Sun is our top card in Baihua House. She has made a lot of money for Baihua House over the years. However, as far as I know, Miss Sun is not happy. In recent months, she has saved enough
After receiving the ransom money, she wanted to leave Baihua Building. Li Baniang refused and kept holding her deed of sale. The two quarreled several times over this. On the fourth day of this month, Miss Sun had a quarrel with Li Baniang again because of this and wanted to force her to leave.
After leaving, Li Baniang had evil intentions, so she poisoned the tea with Mongolian sweat medicine and killed her with the poison. However, at the Huang Mansion's birthday party that day, she thought of a plan to conceal her body from the truth, and sent her body to the Huang Mansion, and forced her to
I asked Xiaoqing to send a letter to Mr. Lan, hoping to put the blame on Mr. Lan."
Sun Zhaohai asked: "Then why was her head chopped off?"
Li Cai said: "This little guy doesn't know."
Li Baniang said heartbreakingly: "You are talking nonsense!" She tousled her hair, as if she was crazy, looked at the crowd, and said: "You are unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust, I will attack you, I will attack you all!
No one can escape!"
Du Jinliang, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, said: "Master Sun, since there are new clues about the case, why not take Li Baniang into custody temporarily, wait for the evidence to be collected again, and then decide on another day?"
Sun Zhaohai was also afraid that things would get serious, so he took the opportunity to say: "That's what I meant. Someone, please take the criminal Li Baniang into custody for trial!"
Two officers stepped forward and grabbed Li Baniang.
Li Baniang said: "I haven't finished speaking yet."
When the officer saw that she was crazy and was not willing to listen to her nonsense, he knocked Li Baniang unconscious with a stick and dragged her into prison.
Because Li Baniang was convicted, Lan Zhili was released in court.
After withdrawing from the court, Lan Zhili, Fan and Zhao walked out of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen together.
Finally saw the light of day again.
Lan Zhili was not at all excited about saving a life.
On the contrary, it seems that there is something on his mind.
He bowed deeply to Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing, "Thank you two eldest brothers for your help. You two are my saviors. If you are my parents again, if you can be of any use to me in the future, just ask."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"My younger brother is going to stay in the capital for a few days, and then return to his hometown in Jiangnan. If the two elder brothers don't dislike it, I will host a banquet in two days, and I hope you will appreciate it."
Fan Xiaodao said: "Okay!"
Zhao Xing waved his hand: "No need."
After Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao left, Lan Zhili changed suddenly. He was no longer the thin and obedient scholar, with a look of indifference on his face.
Two young men came to Lan Zhili and said, "Sir, you have been suffering in prison these days."
Lan Zhili said, "I spent thousands of taels of silver in the past six months to get Sun Mengwu to let down his guard. I didn't expect that he was careless this time and actually got into trouble with them. The success fell short! Have our people arrived?"
"I entered Beijing yesterday and brought two hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Help me arrange a banquet."
…
"I feel something is wrong." Back at the Six Doors, Fan Xiaodao said to Zhao Xing, "At least, what the guy named Li Cai said was different from what he told us that day. What's more, there was no one in that letter.
Someone mentioned it. Also, Sun Mengwu’s maid Xiaoqing is said to have been killed, and her body has not been found so far.”
Zhao Xing nodded in agreement, "This matter is not over yet. However, if we can give Lan Zhili justice, our hard work these days has not been in vain."
At this time, Wu Zuo Sun Dequan passed by the two of them.
"Old Sun, why are you in such a hurry?"
Sun Dequan said: "I was ordered to collect Sun Mengwu's body and discovered something."
"What's up?"
"Sun Mengwu's case resulted in one corpse and two lives."
What?
The two of them were shocked. Could it be that Sun Mengwu had secretly formed a baby when she was killed? Such an important matter was not discovered at the time. However, now that the case has been transferred to Shuntian Mansion, they have no right to interfere.
Fan Xiaodao: "I always feel unwilling."
Zhao Xing waved his hand, "Forget it, you will get used to it if you encounter it more in the future. Don't you see? There is clearly another hidden story in this case. Both the chief arrester and the Shuntian Mansion are covering it up intentionally or unintentionally.
.It’s pretty good to be able to do this.”
"Is this the end?"
"Let it go." Zhao Xingdao: "Brother Xiaodao, you have only entered Six Doors, and the days are still long. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Some cases are not solved overnight. Not all cases will have results. Our Six Doors
The longest case has been going on for twenty years and has not yet been solved. By the way, it’s not a problem if you live in Yizhuang forever. You can move to my house tomorrow."
"I don't have any money."
Zhao Xingdao: "Don't you have an IOU for ten ingots of gold in your arms? Ask your consort for the money!" After the two separated, Fan Xiaodao was on his way back to Yizhuang when he was stopped by the woman in white again.
"Is it you again, Bai Wuchang?"
The woman in white smiled and said: "I have helped you a lot today, how can you thank me?"
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I appreciate your kindness. Besides, helping others is the foundation of happiness. Don't expect to repay just because you have done a small favor. This idea of yours is very dangerous. Otherwise, please ask me again.
Have a bowl of noodles?”
The woman in white was snatched away by Fan Xiaodao. Thinking of the noodles thrown at her by Fan Xiaodao that day, she immediately became angry, drew her sword and said angrily: "Go to hell!"
"I'm living a good life, why should I die?" Fan Xiaodao said, "Forget it, if it weren't for your letter today, we wouldn't be able to exonerate Mr. Lan." After saying that, he handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, girl, for your generous action.
"
The woman in white said: "That's it?"
"Is it possible that you still want me to pledge myself to you? With your bad temper, I can't repay you in this life. I can only work for you in the next life. But then again, how did you know that there is a dark room in Li Baniang's room?
of?"
The woman in white said: "I know it, why do I have to tell you?"
"I'm not interested in knowing either, bye!"
Just as Fan Xiaodao was about to leave, the woman in white said, "Wait a minute! Your words are so rude, and I want to teach you a lesson."
"I may not be able to beat you in a fight, but you may not be able to catch me if I run away. Girls, don't fight or kill me, or you won't be able to get married in the future."
This Fan Xiaodao is really hateful. There is no ivory coming out of the dog's mouth, and nothing is pleasant to the ears. However, she came here today for another purpose. Seeing that Fan Xiaodao still refused to continue, she stretched out her hand and said, "Bring it here!"
"what?"
The woman in white said: "Did you find a letter on Sun Mengwu's body?"
"how do you know?"
"I've helped you a lot today, so it's not too much to ask you for this letter in return."
Fan Xiaodao said: "It's just an ordinary letter. Unless you tell me, what's the mystery behind this letter?"
