Daming King of Punishment

Page 583

After the landlord said this, Tang Ruli didn't act immediately.

"Okay, that's what you said." Tang Ruli put down his hands, sneered at the landlord, and motioned him to enter the back room. "Go in and drag him out from under the bed."

"This... I don't dare!" The landlord said with a distressed face. He was already terrified in his heart, and he really didn't dare.

But when Tang Ruli held up the silver bag again, he still recognized it.The landlord tremblingly entered the back room, and when he came under the bed again, the blood-stained Zhezi hadn't completely died yet, he made weak movements, his eyes were almost unable to open.

Tang Ruli was right behind the landlord, and the landlord frowned and gritted his teeth, and forced the man out from under the bed.

"Very good, put this rope around his neck." Tang Ruli took out a length of hemp rope from behind and threw it to the landlord.

The landlord looked at the man who was still breathing, trembling all over, he already understood what Tang Ruli wanted him to do.He knew that murder was against the law, and as long as he really did it, he would have nothing to do with it.But under the intimidation of Tang Ruli, he finally succumbed.

The neck was wrapped around the man's neck, and the other end of the rope was thrown onto the beam.After that, Tang Ruli and the landlord pulled the rope together and hanged the man in the house.

After doing all this, the landlord was already drenched in sweat. He slumped on the ground and muttered: "I killed someone, I killed someone!"

The huge impact of the murder almost broke the landlord's heart.But all this is not over yet, Tang Ruli patted him on the shoulder and said: "I didn't kill him before, I just broke his head. Just now we killed him together, so you are also one of the murderers .In this way, I will not suspect you to expose this matter. In addition, you do one last thing. Take this rope, and then tie it to the beam, and then you can go. "

Tang Ruli finished all this, and the landlord also accepted his fate.After all, what Tang Ruli said was right. He participated in the murder, which is an inescapable fact.

The landlord stood up after a long time, but couldn't climb onto the table anyway, and tied the rope up.

Seeing him like this, Tang Ruli stopped paying attention to him.He threw the money bag in his hand directly into the landlord's arms, and then he did everything after that.

Under the watchful eyes of the landlord, Tang Ruli cleaned the blood on the deceased, then changed into a set of clean clothes, and then wiped away all the evidence left on the scene.

When all this was over, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and because of the fear in his heart, the landlord did not tell the matter after all. Even when his wife asked after returning home, he did not say anything.

After listening to this speech, Bai Zhuo was filled with righteous indignation: "You are really vicious! After encountering such a thing, not only did you not report to the police, but you even helped the murderer to kill together!"

Under Bai Zhuo's angry accusation, the landlord cried out: "My lord, I was forced, but it was definitely not the little one who wanted to kill someone! At that time, the little one became an accomplice, and he didn't want to die with him. But you must decide for the little one, the little one is really threatened by others."

At this time, he was smart enough to know that what he did was being persecuted by others. If this was the case, his crime would be much less serious, at least it would not be a death penalty.

"Don't cry here. You have been hiding this matter in your heart for eight years. If the official came here, you might not have said it. No wonder you feel ashamed and have been burning incense under that bed. I don't know how you have been in the past eight years. Is it safe to sleep every night? Now that time has passed, it may not be possible to find the murderer back then. If you can't catch that person, it is not impossible for the Yamen to identify you as the murderer." Song Wuya looked at the landlord who kept begging for mercy , said coldly.

This is not a lie. If the case is overturned but the real culprit cannot be found, then how can the case be overturned? The only way is to convict the accomplice a felony.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" The landlord cried and begged for mercy.

I'm afraid he regrets it in his heart now. If he hadn't been greedy for money and hadn't rented this house out, he wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

However, what Song Wuya said just now was not the truth in his heart.

Now that eight years have passed, if you want to check the Tang Confucian ceremony back then, you can still trace it.As for whether someone can be found, it's hard to say.

"Okay, this is the end of the matter. It's useless for you to say anything. It depends on whether you can catch the real culprit. If you can catch the real culprit, then you have nothing to do. I just don't know if you are willing to help We have found the real culprit." Song Wuya said coldly, which could be regarded as beating the landlord.

But when the landlord heard his words, he was immediately dumbfounded again: "My lord, it's been eight years. Where can I find him?"

"Of course you don't need to find someone, but if you find someone, you won't recognize him." Song Wuya looked at him and asked coldly.

The landlord was somewhat relieved when he heard this, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "My lord, the little one can recognize it. Eight years, whether it's long or short, I don't think he will change much. The little one Now every night when I dream, I can dream of his ferocious face."

"Okay, that's fine. You can go back now, but don't try to run away. I've already explained this yamen. You and your family can't all leave here." Song Wuya nodded. Say something to the landlord so that he doesn't run away.

The landlord nodded yes, he still couldn't help shivering after standing up, and almost didn't kneel down directly.

Seeing this scene, Song Wuya took a deep breath.He ignored the matter, but he didn't know whether he could catch the real culprit.Not only is it a long time, but in this technologically underdeveloped world, if you want to find someone, there is nothing like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After the landlord left, Song Wuya looked at Bai Zhuo who was at the side: "Brother Bai, let's immediately investigate the origin of this Juzi named Tang Ruli. Find out his birthplace and whether he was on the list back then. In this way, we will almost be able to find this person."

"That's right! But we don't seem to be very easy to investigate these things. Do you want to go to King Jin?" Bai Zhuo nodded in agreement after hearing this, but they don't have enough authority to investigate these things.

After all, among these proposals, there are many officials who are officials in the court, which is not allowed by the court.

Song Wuya nodded, although they had gold medals bestowed by the emperor in their hands, it would be a bit of a fuss to use them for this matter.

Just do what they say, the two immediately got up and headed towards King Jin's other courtyard.

After the two explained everything, King Jin frowned.

"Oh, so there is such a thing." Jin Wang showed a contemplative look, pondered for a while and said: "But it has been eight years, is it still necessary?"

"My lord, no matter how long it has passed, this is still an unjust case. Although we can ignore it, has your lord ever thought about the relatives of the deceased? Is there a truth?" Song Wuya spoke to King Jin in such a harsh tone for the first time.

After saying this, he felt that his tone was a bit too blunt.Fortunately, he saw that King Jin's face did not show any displeasure.

"Brother Song, what you said is not unreasonable, so just do what you said. Whatever you want, I will just tell you." King Jin agreed with Song Wuya's opinion.

Song Wuya nodded, and immediately asked the King of Jin to send people to investigate the place of origin of Tang Confucianism, and then send people to find his family.

King Jin explained all this according to Song Wuya's intention.

Chapter 6 Eleven The Imperial Examination Begins

?6 Chapter [-] The Imperial Examination Begins

On this day, just after dawn, it began to rain lightly outside the house.

The candidates had been in the provincial capital for several days, and the Enke they were looking forward to finally started today.This day, which everyone is looking forward to, is destined to be dull, just like today's weather, the cold light rain under the dark clouds makes everyone's heart heavy.

"Brother Wu Ya, when do you think the imperial guards will be able to bring back news of Tang Ruli?"

Bai Zhuo, who has always been concerned about exams, watched Enke's exams today, but he didn't care about the results of these exams. Instead, he focused on the guards who had already set off yesterday.

Song Wuya also got news from King Jin earlier, that the ancestral home of Tang Confucianism is not too far from here, and the journey back and forth is only three or four days.But it may not be so easy to find Tang Ruli's family members, maybe they still need to wait patiently for a few more days.

"It's hard to say!" Song Wuya didn't directly say a date, but it was actually because he was worried about this in his heart.

"If you wait too long, then we'll have to spend some more time here." Bai Zhuo sighed, with a reluctance on his face.

Indeed, although they didn't have a few days to come here, it doesn't mean they can delay like this.Their main goal is not these, even this Enke exam, it is just incidental.

The main goal in their hearts is still the Infinite Teaching.

With a thought in his mind, Song Wuya suddenly woke up: "By the way, we came here for smuggled salt, and we don't have the slightest idea yet! I think we should investigate whether there is smuggled salt operating in this provincial capital."

"That's right! I almost forgot about my business!" Bai Zhuo clapped his hands and shouted, and the sorrow on his face just now disappeared.

"Then let's make a deal like this. I think we should split up!" Song Wuya thought for a while and immediately suggested to them: "I don't think we should act alone anymore. What do you think if we separate?"

Bai Zhuo first agreed, but he didn't care about the two women next to him, and he didn't give in at all.

Song Wuya turned his head to look at Situ Wen and Xiaohuan, he didn't speak, but his eyes said everything.

"Then let's split up." Situ Wen nodded slightly in agreement.
