Chapter 55: Finger Bones
Chapter 55 Finger Bone
The two men and women were so scared that they screamed, trying to find clothes to cover their shame, but they were pressed by the soap and could not move.
Xiao Jiading said to Captain Dai: "Call others in!"
Outside the woods, there were a few soap clerks carrying lanterns. After receiving the order, they rushed in with lanterns. Now, under the light, they saw clearly the two naked men and women pressed on the ground, which were Liu Xiangzheng and Zhao!
Xiao Jiading sneered at Luo Cunzheng, who looked as if he was ashen, and he said: "They had an affair. I want to take it back to punish him. But this is what happened in Guicun. I heard that Guicun has a township rule and a civil agreement, and he has his own way to deal with the adulterer and affair. Isn't it?"
Luo Cun and several gentry looked at each other and didn't say anything for a while.
Xiao Jiading knew what they were worried about and said, "Don't be afraid, the Tang Dynasty's criminal law is very clear: a traitor woman will be two years of prison! If he commits such a crime, it is no longer possible for him to be a local official. Please wait for the execution!"
When he heard Xiao Jiading say this, Luocun Zheng suddenly became bolder. Several of the gentry had been bullied by Liu Xiangzheng before. They were angry and took the opportunity to take revenge and shouted: "According to the rules, we should parade the streets first! Then send it to the government for punishment!"
Liu Xiangzheng was always bullying others with his power. Although the other gentry was not directly bullied by him, they still couldn't stand it. After Xiao Jiading said that he would definitely not be a village chief after committing a crime, so they had hope. They suddenly became excited and shouted: "Paradise!"
Luocunzheng had a good relationship with Liu Xiangzheng, but this time, Liu Xiangzheng was arrested for having an affair. Moreover, the county magistrate Zhiyi personally brought people to arrest him. It is likely to be involved in the case of Zhao killing his nephew. Behind Xiao Zhiyi is the former Minister of Justice Tang Sima, who is very tough in the backstage, so he is afraid that his crime will be doomed. Judging from Xiao Zhiyi's meaning, it is to make up this matter. Now it depends on his attitude. If you do it well, maybe there will be hope for this village.
So, Luocun was rushing up and kicking the two of them a few times, cursing: "Shameless dog man and woman, what kind of face do we have in Huangyan Village? Come on! Tie the dog man and woman together to parade the streets!"
Several servants who followed immediately rushed up and tied up the naked five-colored flowers with the chains in Zaoli's hand.
Liu Xiangzheng was shocked just now, and then he realized his reaction and begged loudly: "Xiao Zhiyi, please spare me. You raise your hand and let me go. I will repay your kindness heavily..."
"Bribery in public? Hehe, this time so many people see it, who can help you?"
Liu Xiangzheng wanted to say something else, Luo Cunzheng had already grabbed Zhao's underwear and stuffed it into her mouth, and ordered him to pull him into the village to parade!
Xiao Jiading looked at Zhao's naked and white delicate body, sighed and said, "If you want to block her, it's not good."
Luo Cunzheng and others didn't know what Xiao Jiading was intended, and they didn't know what to do for a moment. Instead, the middle-aged nun who led the way took off her black shirt and wrapped it on her graceful body, revealing only her arms and thighs. Zhao did not expect Xiao Jiading to take care of her only face like this, and looked at him gratefully.
Xiao Jiading was very satisfied with the middle-aged girl's reaction and bowed, "What do you call Master Master?"
"Pinni Huishi. is Huiyi's senior sister."
Xiao Jiading nodded and said, "Master Huishi, please follow her and don't let anyone insult her."
When Zhao heard this, he was even more grateful. He looked at Xiao Jiading quietly, then lowered his head and started to cry.
Several servants pushed and pulled the two of them and walked towards the village. Some servants had already run into the village quickly and shouted all the way: "Let's come and see, Zhao's shameless man is having an affair with Liu Xiang, and he is caught and paraded..."
For a moment, the villagers came out to watch and talked a lot. Many villagers who had already fallen asleep got up. When they heard that this was the case, they were all laughing and extremely excited.
Another servant had already gone to get the gong, and the local area beat the mountain. The people onlookers were carrying lanterns and torches, which were very bright. Although Zhao was naked and barefoot, the three most important points were wrapped in a black shirt and could not see it. The most eye-catching thing about this is this, so some villagers were unwilling to give up and pulled it, but Hui Shi was pushed away by Hui Shi who was following him. The onlookers smashed vegetables and eggs on them, and some were stretched out to touch them. The ones facing Zhao were blocked by Hui Shi, but Liu Xiangzheng ignored them and was quickly smashed by various dirt. Even the little brother who was pulling was kicked several times, moaning in pain.
After walking around the village, Xiao Jiading ordered people to be taken to the Zhao family, leaving Liuxiang outside to make trouble and tease the villagers, and brought Zhao into the house.
Xiao Jiading ordered Huishi to take Zhao, who was locked in the chain, to the bedroom, put on a dress, and then wait for her to the kitchen. Luo Cunzheng also testified with the squire.
Zhao, who had already put on his clothes, was full of gratitude to Xiao Jiading. He came in and knelt down and kowtowed, sobbing, "Thank you, Master, I will repay the grace of Master in the next life."
"If you don't want to live, you can repay me now. I know that you strangled your nephew to death. As long as you honestly confess your killing of your nephew, you will be rewarded to me.
Zhao's delicate body trembled, lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Jiading sneered: "You don't cry until you see the coffin! Okay, I'll show you a few things!" He took out the broken bones and hair he found during the last search and placed them in front of Zhao: "These are what we found in the sewer of your kitchen. Where did you get washed away by the water when you dismembered your nephew's body?"
Zhao took a look and looked defeated.
Xiao Jiading said to the two coroners: "Pick off the pot from the stove and search it in it to see if you find anything."
The two coroners began to search. Soon, one of them found the thing that Xiao Jiading had discovered last time in the largest stove and took it to Xiao Jiading.
This is a small finger bone!
Xiao Jiading said: "Take it to the criminal Zhao!"
The coroner sent the finger bone in front of Zhao. When Zhao saw it, his face suddenly changed drastically and he suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Xiao Jiading sneered and said, "This should be the finger bone of your nephew! After you dismembered him, you originally planned to burn the corpse in the stove, but later you found that the corpse was difficult to burn. So you took out the corpse and threw it away. This finger bone was left when you burned the corpse! It was your nephew. If necessary, I would open the coffin again and check it out, and then I would know it clearly! In addition, I also found a burned straw in the pelvis of the deceased, the length was the same as the remaining as the stove where the finger bones were found! At this point, do you still want to argue?"
Zhao slowly raised his eyes and looked at him, wanting to speak but stopping.
Xiao Jiading said, "I know, you still have fantasies. I hope that Liu Xiang can save you like the last time, right? This time it's different. He has an affair with you, which is a serious crime of being a two-year prisoner! And this also makes your motive for killing your nephew! These finger bones, hair and broken bones prove the fact that you dismembered your nephew in the kitchen! I believe that Liu Xiang used the means to threaten and tempt Tong and the others, causing them to overturn the previous testimony. This time, he was sent to jail. I think who else can help you? At this point, don't you still take any advice?"
Zhao's lips were trembling violently. She was caught in an affair and was paraded in the streets, making her feel that life was worse than death. In the end, Xiao Jiading gave her a fig leaf and allowed her to protect her from direct bullying. She was both full of thoughts and felt grateful to Xiao Jiading. When she heard her guardian Liu Xiangzheng, she could no longer hold her, and the last line of defense in her heart finally collapsed.
Zhao knelt on the ground and cried, "I'll do it..."
Xiao Jiading had already learned from Daisy that there was a village rule and a civil servant who wanted to parade the streets for adulterers and women who had an affair. The reason why he proposed to let Luocunzheng and others parade the streets for the streets was to disrupt their normal thinking and form a psychological advantage for them. At the same time, he gave Zhao a little personal dignity care in the process to win her gratitude so that she could confess later. He was overjoyed and the plan was successful! He said lightly: "Tell me! I'm listening."
The clerk of the execution room beside him has already prepared to record.
