"Unexpectedly, this Hao Supervisor is not a virtuous elder at all, but a greedy and selfish hypocrite who threatens and extorts bribes!"
In the teahouse of the Lotus Pavilion, Lei Jun took his sister Lei Tingting and invited Di Jin to come up and taste tea, and Di Jin also objectively told what he knew so far.
Lei Jun immediately made a similar comment, and Lei Tingting even sighed: "You are really a scum! I wonder if the third brother was threatened by him?"
"He wouldn't dare."
Lei Jun was very calm about this.
The confidence in these words came from the power and reputation of the Lei family. Hao Qingyu would only dare to provoke Lei Hu's son unless he was crazy.
In fact, Lei Cheng looked naive in the academy. He didn't even dare to ride a horse. Anyone else would have been laughed at or even bullied. However, other students in the academy at most kept a distance and did not associate with him, nor did they directly mocking.
To put it bluntly, they were all a little afraid of his domineering father, just like the wealthy gentry who were so overwhelmed by the thunder tiger that night that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Lei Jun was very proud to have such a father, and returned to the topic of the murder case: "It seems that Guo Chengshou was unjustly accused. He could not poison Hao Qingyu."
Di Jin looked at him, and Lei Tingting asked directly: "Second brother, why is this?"
Lei Jun said with a smile: "It's very simple. That Pan County Captain thought that Hao Qingyu, the supervisor, advised the students to change their ways, so they met at night, avoided other people, and offered tea bowls to warm up the other party. All of this was done sincerely. What the author did..."
"But if this premise is wrong, everything else will be wrong!"
"As a person who controls students' privacy, secretly talks late at night, and prepares to extort money, he may pretend to prepare a bowl of tea and treat each other with courtesy on the surface, but he can also let the tea bowl pass without any defense. Leave the sight and give the other party a chance to poison him? It's not the first day Hao Qingyu has done such a thing, how can he not be on guard? "
Lei Tingting said "oh" and then suddenly realized.
Lei Jun continued: "Now it seems that Hao Qingyu was murdered by someone close to him. The real culprit took advantage of his meeting with Guo Chengshou and took the opportunity to put poison in the bowl. To blame Guo Chengshou, he must understand that he was used for his illness. The folk prescription contains the herbal medicine Gelsemium elegans. There are not many people who fit these two things~"
Lei Jun was very proud to analyze the two major characteristics of the real murderer in the blink of an eye. If he had a folding fan, he would definitely open it and shake it.
But my sister just said "Oh" again and turned to Di Jin: "What is the purpose of the real murderer? He killed Hao Qingyu and put the blame on Guo Chengshou. Does he have any grudge against them both?"
Di Jin said calmly: "There are benefits to framing the blame. Guo Chengshou's family is extraordinary. Even if this case is convicted, it will be settled hastily and there will be no further investigation afterwards..."
In the laws of the Song Dynasty, there was "penalty straight", that is, fines for atonement. Under normal circumstances, it was used for lighter criminal laws, but in practice, many serious crimes were also dealt with in this way.
Not to mention that it goes against the legalist position that if the emperor commits a crime and the common people are equally guilty, the powerful will not be equally guilty if they commit a crime. This is the reality.
It is precisely this reality that protects Guo Chengshou and the real murderer. Once the Guo family pays a fine to redeem Guo Chengshou's crime, will the case continue to be investigated? Naturally, it will be left alone...
In the end, the real loss was Guo Chengshou's reputation. He would have to bear the charges of plagiarism and murder for the rest of his life.
Di Jin continued: "As for the motive, we can't say it's just hatred. We need to ask Hao Qingyu's foreign residence first if his money is still there..."
Hao Qingyu is a person who values pleasure and is organized. He orders his favorite food from Fengle Building every month, and he also comes to the Lotus Pavilion every month to listen to music and have fun. Such a person must have enough. Although he had no money, his family was close to poverty, and his wife and daughter were so hungry that they were numb.
Where did the money go?
There is no doubt that it is placed in the hands of foreigners.
This is also the reason why he took a concubine but did not take her home.
This old man probably also knows that he is hated by others. In the future, it will be his wife and daughter at home who will be retaliated against, not the private house where he is raised outside. Such a method is really sinister.
Of course, Di Jin would not say these words without actual evidence. Now it depends on the search situation of the foreign residence.
Lei Jun was also thinking about these issues, but his eyes showed interest, and he was really interested in the case. The teahouse was quiet for a moment, and then he saw Lei Jiu walking up the stairs and reporting in front of him. After listening, he immediately stood up and smiled. :"found it!"
Di Jin was a little surprised: "It's so fast!"
Not even an hour had passed since we sent out people from the Lei family and received a response.
Such speed truly demonstrates Thunder Tiger's capabilities as a local snake.
Di Xiangling followed the path of rivers and lakes, and may have certain advantages in some low-level connections, but Lei Laohu coexisted in rivers and lakes and temples. In the Song Dynasty, when the status and influence of merchants gradually increased, the meetings of the five guilds The position of leader is not a decoration.
The other party has connections from all walks of life, and he really has a way to investigate targets like Hao Qingyu who have a certain social status.
And with such terrible efficiency, Lei Tingting was kidnapped for eight days, and Lei Huhu's men were helpless...
Another example is that Lei Tingting was obviously kidnapped in the lotus shed, but now she is in the lotus shed, but she has no fear at all...
The more contact there is, the more flaws there are.
Di Jin pretended not to know, stood up and said, "Brother Lei, please lead the way!"
"Okay! Okay! To be honest, I am very curious about this case now!"
Lei Jun laughed and led the team himself. Everyone mounted their tall horses, and a road was opened ahead to maintain order. In less than two-quarters of an hour, they arrived at their destination.
Lin Xiaoyi looked at the courtyard of this foreign house. It was very different from that of Hao Qingyu's own house. Even if he didn't go in, it still looked affluent, and he couldn't help curling his lips.
However, there are no funeral white lanterns hanging in this outhouse.
"After all, there is no affection for foreigners..."
Lei Jun commented lightly and said to Lei Jiu: "Call the door!"
However, before Lei Jiu could knock on the door, the courtyard door opened on its own and a group of people walked out.
At the head were two servants, leading the carriage out, followed by maids and servants, surrounded by a woman holding a child. From the way they were carrying large and small bags, it was obvious that they were going on a long trip.
Seeing a group of strong nurses from the Lei family blocking the door, panic showed on their brows. The woman in the middle trembled: "Who are you? What are you doing in broad daylight?"
Lei Jun stepped forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Madam, don't worry, we are friends of Hao Jianyuan of Jinyang Academy, and we are here to visit!"
He has a handsome appearance, a spring-like smile, and an aura of civility, which makes it easy for people to like him. However, the vigilance on the woman's face not only did not relax, but rose to the extreme. She almost screamed: "I don't know what the slave family is doing." Hao Supervisor, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Lei Jun raised his brows and waved his hand. Lei Jiu immediately led his men to force him over. During this period, some servants tried to scream, but were slapped to the ground.
Di Jin watched from behind.
It has to be said that when it comes to people involved in this kind of case, Lei Hu's family's methods are more direct. If it was just him and Lin Xiaoyi, it would be difficult to communicate.
Now he blocked the person back, looking at the silent master and servants, Lei Jun smiled again: "I'm sorry! It's just that my third brother is studying in Jinyang Academy, and is usually taken care of by Hao Prison, but now I'm here specially Hello, it’s not good for my wife to reject people thousands of miles away like this!"
The lady outside the house said in a trembling voice: "My husband... how much money did he receive... I will give you back..."
"It seems that you know what Hao Qingyu did in the past, so it will be easy to handle!"
Lei Jun's smile became brighter: "Tell me, why are you running? After all, no one knows that you are an outsider. Hao Qingyu gave you all the benefits, but he just died and couldn't even do anything about the funeral. Here is the example Running away from home would be unworthy of a woman!"
The lady outside the house lowered her head, trembling all over, but she gritted her teeth and closed her mouth.
"Did not say?"
Lei Jun's eyes turned cold and he turned to the child held by the wife outside the house.
At this moment, Di Jin came out and looked at the servants: "For you guys, this is not to harm anyone, but to protect the master's family. There is no need to hide it."
His gentle temperament paved the steps, and a maid said tremblingly: "Old slave saw...Alang left a letter to my wife...a few days ago!"
Di Jin looked at the lady outside the house: "Madam, please take out the letter. This is related to the truth of the murder case. If the real murderer is at large, and you have escaped from the city now, how can you know that you will not be killed on the way?"
As soon as these words came out, the lady outside the house suddenly raised her head: "You... you know..."
Di Jin said: "Just guessing, what was written on the letter from Hao Supervisor?"
After a little hesitation, the lady outside the house finally told the truth and cried: "Ten days ago... my husband said... he wanted to do a big thing with someone... If it happens, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Excessive enjoyment... If that doesn't work, let the slave family take their children and leave Bingzhou as soon as possible... I didn't expect... I didn't expect that heaven and man are separated..."
"Where is the letter?"
"This...here!"
When the lady outside the house found the letter, Di Jin took it and read it carefully, with a happy smile on his face.
The new witnesses and material evidence are all there. You can go to the Yamen and let County Lieutenant Pan reconsider this poisoning and murder case with many inside stories!
In other words...
An unjust case that had no defense was overturned!
