Chapter 317 The Coffin Can't Be Covered

When Yinger was called by name, her body trembled unconsciously, like she was sifting chaff, she laid her hands on the ground at once, and quickly responded: "Go back to your lord, yes, it's like this... slave girl, slave girl was going to deliver medicine to young mistress yesterday Yes, and then I saw him lying on the young mistress's body, both of their clothes... were unbuttoned..."

The servant girl looked terrified, her eyes dodged, and she continued to stammer: "... the slave girl saw... the young mistress's head and the ground were covered with blood, the servant girl was frightened, so she screamed, and then the young master and Awang Ah Fu and the others are all here..."

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the magistrate to ask, the two servants followed Si Yueying's words and responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes... I and we also heard Yinger's words and ran over, so, we saw him, he was dressed He even threatened us, saying that he is the son of the master's good friend, and if we dare to talk nonsense, he will make us look good."

"Please be clear, my lord. We are just telling the truth, and we have never wronged anyone."

"Yes, yes, the young mistress died tragically. Although we are slaves, we also want to avenge the young mistress and rehabilitate her."

Qiao Kui was alone, but he couldn't argue.

He didn't expect that these people would collude to frame him. Pity this young lady of the Luo family, married such a wolf-hearted man, and died without knowing why.

The two elders of the Luo family have fallen ill in bed now, I am afraid that in the days to come...

And myself, this time my father got a letter from Master Luo, saying that the family was in misfortune, and the family ugliness should not be publicized, but thinking that his daughter is still young, he does not want her to fall into the hands of that villain, so he begged him to help. Bundle.

He intends to transfer and justify the property, but they are sick and unable to move, and the daughter is cowardly and unable to do anything.

The servants in the family are also unreliable... Finally came up with this method.

But I didn't expect...

After a questioning session, all the testimony was very unfavorable to Qiao Kui.

So the county magistrate prepared to take all these people back to the yamen for further interrogation.

This is just a preliminary judgment to determine who is related to the case and who is most suspected.

However, although all the testimony was against Qiao Kui, the magistrate still felt that there were many doubts in it.

First of all, he saw that Qiao Kui was thin and thin, with long fingers, and he looked like a scholar who hadn't done much work.

Such people value courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame the most, not to mention that this is the first time to visit father's friend's house, even if it is the shameful woman born to Miss Luo's family, I am afraid that she will not be able to meet...

But everyone here, from top to bottom, insisted that Miss Luo was killed by Qiao Kui, and even insulted the corpse.

So he planned to take everyone here back and have a trial.

Of course, apart from the fact that he was originally an upright official, it was also because the master of the Luo family had once sponsored him.

Back then, when he was just a down and out scholar, Master Luo, who was already wealthy, gave him a few taels of silver to tide him over.

The situation was very special at that time, and no names were exchanged, but County Lord Jin always remembered.

He has been in Qutang County for a year, and he did not expect to meet his benefactor again here.

Let's say that Lord Jin made a rough trial, and asked the surrounding yamen to tie up everyone kneeling on the ground, and take them back to the yamen first.

Qiao Kui was very wronged in his heart, but seeing that the county magistrate didn't seem to have finalized the case, and arrested the rest of them, he thought to himself, it seems that there is still a glimmer of hope.

The rest seemed very nervous.

In fact, they have been very nervous all the time. Although they have arranged the whole process before and got it right, they are not sure what the county master thinks.

They were arrested because of some flaws in their testimony just now and they started to doubt them?

Or is it because... he is also the type to eat and drink, and wants to make them bleed?

Xue Guiren thought, should he wait for the housekeeper to give this magistrate a generous gift?

After thinking about it, he dismissed the idea. The situation is unclear now. If the county magistrate belongs to the former, wouldn't it appear that they have a guilty conscience and exposed themselves if they take the initiative to give gifts?

Let's say that when these people were about to leave, a sound suddenly came from the coffin in the mourning hall behind.

The first thing I heard was a little girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she screamed "Ah—" in fright.

"Ah, I've cheated, I've cheated... I don't want my young lady to cheat..."

The people in the courtyard stopped immediately, trembling with fright, looking towards the direction of the mourning hall in horror.

However, there were officials present at the scene, and a dozen government officials were present, so there was no major commotion.

It's just that everyone shrank back subconsciously, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the mourning hall through the gaps in the crowd.

Lord Jin snorted coldly: "In broad daylight, the world is bright, how can there be a fraudulent corpse. If anyone continues to deceive the public with false words, I will not spare him/her!"

Then he gave a wink to a servant next to him: "Wang Wei, go and check, what's going on in that coffin?"

Wang Wei bowed his hands to accept the order, and said loudly: "Yes, my lord."

Wang Wei strode forward, and found that the sound of knocking and a faint cry for help came from inside the coffin.

"Help, help..."

It was a woman's cry for help.

Wang Wei checked it out and reported to the county magistrate: "My lord, there is a woman inside beating on the coffin and calling for help."

Lord Jin was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but quickly stepped forward: "Quick, open the coffin quickly..."

Wang Wei said: "My lord, the coffin has been nailed..."

While talking, Lord Jin had already walked into the main room, and immediately told the servants: "Quick, open the coffin for me right away!"

He seemed very anxious, because when he arrived at the benefactor's house, he found out that the other party only had this precious daughter, but now she died without knowing why, and he was very sad.

Unexpectedly, there was movement in the coffin now, and only after a rough inspection of the corpse before, it was completely consistent with what all of them said, so they asked them to bury the corpse.

Unexpectedly, they nailed the coffin to death.

The suspicion in his heart deepened, it seems that there is really something tricky in it.

However, if Miss Luo came back to life now, everything would be solved easily.

He regretted a little, it seems that he still can't trust Wu Zuo too much in the future.

When the yacha heard the order from the magistrate, they all stepped forward and began to pry it up with their sabers.

There are seven coffin nails nailed on it, which is very secure, so everyone has put in a lot of effort.

Let's say that when they were busy here, the maids and servants began to get scared, and their bodies were like sifting chaff.

It's over, if it's really a fake corpse, it's okay, I'm afraid that the young mistress didn't die completely before, it was a fake death.

Now if they really come back to life and tell all the things before, then all of them will be finished.
