Chapter 76 A Folding Fan 4100
"Then guess again, is Xu killing him or suicide?" Mo Xiao asked.
"I guess it was suicide." Chonglou said lightly with a step ahead of Li Zisang.
Seeing that Chonglou said what he wanted to say, Li Zisang gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
Mo Xiao nodded, but frowned, "From the autopsy results, it was indeed suicide, but I don't understand why Xu committed suicide. I look at the testimony on the file in the yamen. This Xu is not the kind of person who doesn't want to survive just because his brother killed his husband."
Indeed, when he learned that his brother had stolen something in the room and killed Wang Fugui, Xu was very rude to Xu Dazhuang's words and had no intention of helping him get rid of his crime. Instead, he cited Xu Dazhuang's words and deeds that were usually dissatisfied with Wang Fugui many times, and he wanted to turn the accidental killing into a murder.
How could such a woman who did not hesitate to throw dirty water into her brother's death in order to protect herself?
Or the Wang family sneered at Wang Fugui because her brother killed her and made things difficult for her? But after hearing Li Zisang said that Wang Yujiao had already expressed in public that one person would do things and one person would do it, and Xu Dazhuang would have one life to pay for his life. Aunt Xu was still Aunt Xu of the Wang family, and the treatment was the same.
According to what Licorice said before, Wang Yujiao is famous for being a gold envoy in the Tao and has always been the best in reputation.
Licorice also gave an example, saying that a passing businessman once won a hundred gold medal in her gambling hall. If it were replaced by another casino, he might have lost half of it or tried every means to grab it back. Wang Yujiao didn't. Instead, he reminded the man to pay attention to the custody and suggested that he entrusted the escort to the silver first to avoid robbing the criminals on the way. It is said that the man really heard Wang Yujiao's escort and asked the escort agency to escort the escort. In the end, the man and Yin came home safely. Later, every time the man did business, he would go to Wang Yujiao's casino to gamble.
Wang Yujiao has already said that it would not make things difficult for Xu, but logically, it should not make things difficult for her.
Moreover, Mo Xiao saw that there were many servants in the yard and all the decorations in the room should be fully decorated, so he did not look embarrassed.
"Xu really doesn't want to die, but what if someone forces her to die?" Chonglou didn't know when he had a folding fan in his hand.
"Didn't you tell you not to touch the things in this room?" Li Zisang snatched the folding fan from Chonglou's hand. "Everything here may become a witness in the church. You cannot touch it or touch it. Do you hear it?"
"Is this folding fan a man's thing?" Mo Xiao looked at the folding fan in Li Zisang's hand.
Li Zisang opened the fan and saw a naked beauty taking a bath. Those who could ask people to draw such vulgar content as fan are not only a man, but also a very vulgar man.
"Can it be Wang Fugui?" Mo Xiao asked.
"The possibility is not high. Didn't you find that there are basically no daily necessities in this room?" Li Zisang said, and put the folding fan together.
Mo Xiao looked around and found that it was really all about women's supplies, not like ordinary couples' rooms, at least some male items existed.
"I only learned when I investigated the death of Wang Fugui. Even if Wang Fugui stayed in his concubine's yard overnight, he still had his own room, that is, the one where he found his death. Because a Taoist priest told him before that if the casino was prosperous, he would not be infected with the filthy aura of women. Therefore, Xu avoided living in another place during the Guishui period, and Wang Fugui never came to Xu's room."
"Then who owns this fan?"
"Whose murder is not the key to this murder case. Who put it on the table? I guess it is the reason why Xu's suicide." Chonglou said.
"Hmm? Could it be that Xu himself or the owner of the fan?" Mo Xiao asked.
Li Zisang pursed his lips and looked at Chonglou and said, "What did you guess, just listen."
Chonglou rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't say it, you guessed it too, you can tell it yourself."
Li Zisang felt that if Mo Xiao hadn't been there, he would have pied his sword to kill this arrogant guy.
When he didn't let him say it, he rushed to say it, and he shut up again.
Where did he offend him?
"Then tell me quickly, who put it?" Mo Xiao urged Li Zisang.
"It's either Miss Wang or the Jiang family. If you guessed correctly, this fan was left by a man who entered the house to steal the fragrance. He was discovered by Miss Wang or Jiang family and used this fan to force Xu to commit suicide. It is probably a day or two ago that the fan had appeared here. Judging from the time of Xu's death you just inferred, the reason why Xu made up his mind to die was the appearance of the three of us. If you didn't guess, someone deliberately revealed it to Xu after we stepped into the palace."
"So, we became accomplices who coerced Xu to commit suicide?" Mo Xiao was shocked and angry.
"It can also be said that at least it has played a final role in promoting it." Li Zisang flattered his mouth, and no one would be happy that he would be taken as a gun by someone else.
"Then how did you realize that this fan was placed on this table two days ago?" Mo Xiao asked.
Li Zisang looked around and said, "Look at the table, the things are messy on the ground. Did you notice during the autopsy just now? Xu's hair is not tied, his makeup is not applied, and his shirt is not tidy. Obviously, he hasn't been dressed up for at least two days, he hasn't left the yard, and he doesn't even have the intention to let the girl come in and clean up. This Xu is a woman who loves beauty and fun. Naturally, it is because someone uses the folding fan left by the adulterer to force her, which makes her anxious. And after hearing that the people in the yamen came to the palace, he committed suicide."
"No way? She committed suicide because of a man's folding fan in the room. She hadn't even caught the adulterer yet. Didn't she say that she would catch the adulterer and take a double? She could refuse to admit a folding fan, and no one would do anything to her." Mo Xiao shook his head and expressed his disbelief.
"Do you know, if a woman finds adultery with someone else, how will the woman be punished?" Chonglou suddenly asked.
"Soaked in the pig cage?" Mo Xiao thought of this at the first time, and only wanted to get this, which is often performed in costume films.
"What is the punishment for dipping a pig cage?" Li Zisang said he didn't understand.
"Ah, isn't there any punishment like dipping a pig cage?" Mo Xiao was speechless. Well, she was deceived by the costume drama again.
"No. The code of our dynasty says that women who are determined to commit adultery will usually go to the hall for fifty clothes and sticks before formal execution, and then ride a wooden donkey to parade in the street for three days, and finally beheaded in the city." Li Zisang hid his hand in front of his nose, and his voice unconsciously lowered a little.
"Ah!" Mo Xiao was shocked.
Mo Xiao was really shocked this time.
If she understood correctly, removing clothes means taking off clothes, riding a wooden donkey... She didn't want to imagine that scene anymore, and always thought that the punishment should be fabricated. As for cutting halfway, it is definitely a more cruel criminal law than cutting off the head. I heard that it was extremely painful to cut off from the middle of the waist, but the prisoner would not die immediately. The broken upper body would keep crawling or rolling on the ground until the blood was gone, and it would be at least half a cup of tea to suffer.
The double punishment in both physical and mental state was really beyond her imagination.
On the one hand, etiquette and etiquette are strict, and on the other hand, ignoring individual dignity, the laws of this world are too speechless.
"So, once a woman is found committing adultery, the woman who died on the spot was the easiest to die." Chonglou said and then closed his eyebrows and added, "This punishment should have been eliminated long ago. I really don't know which pervert customized it."
Li Zisang frowned and scolded: "Don't be disrespectful to my Beixuan Kingdom's laws."
Chonglou raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, "If it is not suitable, it should be abolished. I think one day, I will turn this kind of thing into ashes."
"You?" Li Zisang laughed, "The big talk is so loud. You, a doctor in the clinic, still want to abolish the law?"
Mo Xiao also felt that Chonglou was a bit too arrogant. Although she also felt that such punishment was not good, the law of a country could not be abolished if one or two people could not say. She was worried that the two of them would start arguing again, so she grabbed Li Zisang and said, "Okay, let's continue talking about the case."
"There is nothing to say. Although he was forced to commit suicide, he committed suicide after all. The coerced person is innocent, and it is useless to find out who it is." Chonglou said again.
Li Zisang did not say anything and put the folding fan into the bag of evidence he carried with him. "If you take this back, you may find out the adulterer. Maybe it was discovered by Wang Fugui because of the affair, and it may not be necessary to have murderous intentions. In short, this adulterer is also one of the suspects in the murder case of Wang Fugui."
The three of them searched carefully in the room again and confirmed that there was no more useful clue. Then they walked out of the bedroom and sat in the outer hall, calling Jiang Shi, Wang Yujiao and a group of servants in the west courtyard.
"Who is Xu's personal girl?" Li Zisang asked.
A 14 or 15-year-old girl walked out of the crowd with her hands shrank and shook her hands, and came to Li Zisang and knelt down.
"When was the last time you saw Xu?" Li Zisang asked.
"It was last night when the concubine was in a bad mood recently. She only had two meals a day. Last dinner, she told me that she didn't need to prepare breakfast the next day. She had to go to bed late, and when she woke up and was hungry, she asked me to prepare meals. I was guarding outside the door in the morning, but I didn't hear the summons from my aunt, so I didn't enter the house."
"The concubine has never left the room in the morning? Who has been there?"
"The concubine has never come out, and no one has come." The girl shook her head.
"If you think about it carefully, no one has ever been here? Or when did you leave? Don't know if anyone has come?" Li Zisang asked again. No one has come. Humph, how did the woman who has not left know that they have come to the palace.
The little girl heard Li Zisang say this and thought for a while, "Well, I went out for a while. Xiaotao came over and said that she couldn't find the bird's nest that her concubine wanted to eat. I remembered that when I bought the bird's nest, I put it in the locker and had not taken it out, so she went to the kitchen. When I came back, I happened to see Sister Caiyun shouting that her concubine was dead and ran out of the house. I was frightened at that time and knelt on the ground and didn't know what to do. Then Mama Qin came over, and then the eldest lady, Aunt Jiang and the official arrived."
"Can I go to the kitchen for so long? I must have been lazy. Miss Wang, I think this girl can be sold." Li Zisang said to Wang Yujiao.
Before Wang Yujiao could speak, the little girl cried first, and said while crying: "Miss, don't sell me. Lianhua is not lazy. She just ate a few lees of wine in the kitchen. She was afraid that the smell of alcohol in her mouth would not fade away, so she picked a few mulberries in the garden to eat. This time it took a long time to waste time."
"Stand in front of the master, just walk away is lazy. What's there to say? Mama Qin, go and ask General Lai to come and take it."
Jiang suddenly made an idea on the side, and all the girls and women in the inner courtyard were under her control, so naturally she had the final say in the sale.
"Wait a minute, I have a question to ask this girl." Li Zisang called out to Mrs. Qin, who was about to walk out, and turned to Jiang's head, "If you answer correctly, this is a sale. I will ask for a favor, but I'd better not sell it."
Mo Xiao couldn't help but curse him secretly when he heard Li Zisang's words. He was really a black and white person. She knew that Li Zisang's words were not what influenced the personnel changes in their mansion, but just scared the little girl and asked her to reply honestly.
Aunt Jiang smiled faintly, "Of course, I will listen to Captain Li's plea."
The little girl fell to the ground and said a few more times when she heard this, "Master, I will tell you everything I know."
Li Zisang smiled slightly, "Actually, there is nothing to ask. Did you serve your master when he was living in the West Hospital?"
"Yes, when the master was ill, I was always following the bedside to take water and medicine." When the little girl said this, she looked at Aunt Jiang and Miss Wang, which meant that she always did her best to serve people."
"Well, then okay, you can take us to the room where Mr. Wang lives to see it."
Li Zisang stood up, Mo Xiao and Chonglou stood up.
Wang Yujiao and Jiang also stood up.
"You stay, everyone is still waiting in this room and cannot leave for the time being."
Li Zisang stopped others from following.
"Lanhua, right? Let's go. This is just the final review procedure. You can close the case by just comparing it with your previous confession."
The little girl looked at Jiang's family with her eyes.
Jiang said, "Everything is what the master says, go."
The little girl then stood up, "Those three masters come with me."
The four of them came to another dormitory. This room looked like a manly man, without any women's belongings.
"By the way, Lianhua, have Jiang and Miss Wang come to the West Courtyard these days?" Li Zisang pretended to be careless and asked by the way.
"Auntie Jiang has never been here, but the lady has been here once three days ago. Although the lady is more kind to Auntie Jiang, she is not bad for Auntie Xu, and she has not taken the anger of Auntie Xu because of the master's affairs. Miss is really generous."
The little girl was obviously a fan of Miss Wang. She said good things, but she didn't know what she said, but she led the suspicion to the lady.
"Then is the little Tao who asked you to go to the kitchen before from the West Courtyard?"
"Xiao Tao was originally from the East Courtyard. Because the West Courtyard has been sick recently, Aunt Jiang was afraid that there would be insufficient staff here, so she transferred Xiao Tao from the East Courtyard."
Well, now Jiang and Wang Yujiao are more suspicious.
