This case is both simple and difficult.
If Zhang's sister-in-law hadn't lost the pair of scissors, trying to figure out the murderer would be nothing more than a dream.
It can be said that the simple meaning is that every case has a cause.
Either for love, money, or power.
There are some crazy people who kill people indiscriminately, but they must be rare.
The cause of the matter is very simple. You Da couldn't control his crotch and went to hook up with Mrs. Zhang whose husband died.
I don’t know what reason was used to make Mrs. Zhang give in, but she also promised to marry her after her filial piety period expired.
The status of women in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of any era in the feudal dynasty, so Mrs. Zhang believed it, and the two maintained an improper relationship for a long time.
Then there is this You Da, who once again hooked up with the married man Liu Lingzhi.
Coincidentally, Liu Lingzhi was also dissatisfied with her husband, so she also had an affair with the smooth-talking Yu Da.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhang found out about this.
Mrs. Zhang came to the wooden house in the orchard one step ahead and met Liu Lingzhi.
Liu Lingzhi often goes to the orchard, so naturally she knows Mrs. Zhang.
She was a widow. How could someone like You Da just play with her and really marry her?
Sister-in-law Zhang naturally argued, but as a woman like Liu Lingzhi is in business, you can imagine how talkative she is, so how could Sister-in-law Zhang be her opponent.
However, compared with strength, Liu Lingzhi, who lives in the city and is spoiled, is no match for Mrs. Zhang.
So Sister-in-law Zhang beat Liu Lingzhi to death with a stone she picked up.
Then he tied her under a fruit tree with a rope and even placed the murder weapon in place.
Because, her scissors were missing, and she was afraid that someone would find her scissors and think she was a murderer.
What was even more unfortunate was that Sister-in-law Zhang also discovered that Liu Lingzhi had an identical pair of scissors, so she took her scissors away.
I came to the orchard early the next morning just to find my scissors.
The result happened to be bad and he bumped into Yang Wuhui.
So there was the beginning scene, and the source of all this was because of the rotten man Yu Da.
The reason why Sister-in-law Zhang finally spoke out was because she had no worries.
Her husband was dead and she had no children. She thought that the man who would be good to her for the rest of her life actually treated her in a playful manner, so she didn't care.
But although everything started because of You Da, Mrs. Zhang killed someone after all.
Unfortunately, You Da had a moral problem, while Zhang Sao violated the laws of the Song Dynasty.
Yang Wuhui also expressed deep regret for this.
After all, he is not a saint. Even the current saint is afraid that he cannot change it.
Men are superior to women, a tradition that has existed since ancient times.
Even though the status of women in the Song Dynasty improved, it only allowed them to read and write. I have never heard of them being allowed to take scientific examinations and become officials!
Under the dregs of feudalism, women are after all men's accessories.
How to change, overthrow the feudal dynasty, and establish a republican nation!
Yang Wuhui can't do that kind of thing. He will respect the women of this era within his own ability. This is what he can do.
When Zhan Yirong came with people from the government, he looked at so many people with a puzzled look.
Zhan Yirong's arrival also brought the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Zhou Mingen.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Mingen would definitely not come on his own initiative.
But the person who reported the case was Princess Yiping, who is now His Majesty's niece. Although she was not a relative, he still had to do it personally.
Zhou Mingen originally wanted to ask who it was, but when Cui Yingjun informed him of the matter, he showed a strange expression.
"What, the case is solved?"
Cui Yingjun nodded and said: "This young gentleman broke it!"
Zhan Yirong also looked surprised. How long had he been gone? The case was solved after more than three hours. Is it already so impressive?
At this time, Zhou Mingen also looked at Yang Wuhui.
Yang Wuhui took the initiative to clasp his fists and salute: "Master Zhou!"
Zhou Mingen looked at Yang Wuhui for a long time, and then the expression on his face showed shock.
"It's you, Yang Wuhui!"
Yang Wuhui smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to still remember Bucai!"
Zhou Mingen said with a complex expression: "Almost four years have passed since we parted ways back then. Now that Bao Gong's disciples have returned to Bianjing, I'm afraid that my position as the governor of Kaifeng will not be secure."
"What, Bao Gong's disciple?"
"He is actually a disciple of Mr. Bao!"
Cui Yingjun couldn't believe it: "Mr. Bao is a disciple?"
Yang Wuhui didn't expect Zhou Mingen to directly reveal his identity. Originally, he wanted to return to Beijing in a low-key manner.
After all, when my mentor was still alive, his uprightness and selflessness were spread throughout the world.
But it is also true that there are always political enemies in the DPRK.
Even if he hadn't killed the sons of those ministers, he had also beheaded their relatives. It can be said that more than half of the people in the entire court were enemies.
When his mentor was there, Emperor Renzong also supported him.
But Emperor Renzong has passed away, and now he is the short-lived emperor Zhao Zongshi.
Although Yang Wuhui knew that history had a good evaluation of this short-lived emperor, after all, it was not easy to be named Emperor Yingzong after his death.
But can he support himself like Emperor Renzong did back then, as he supported his mentor?
Soon, Yang Wuhui smiled inwardly.
I seem to be thinking too much. Now I am just a white man with no official status. Zhao Zongshi may not even know that I exist. Thinking too much is undoubtedly a waste of time.
Yang Wuhui looked at Cui Yingjun and then said to Zhou Mingen: "Wuhui came to Beijing this time to take the imperial examination. I hope you will not reveal Wuhui's identity. After all, when my mentor was in the court, he made many enemies. , I have no regrets and want to take the scientific examination with peace of mind.”
To this, others naturally nodded.
Even Zhou Mingen naturally agreed.
Now that the case has been solved, they still have to escort the prisoner back to Beijing. It will probably be dark by the time they arrive, but after all, this is a credit. Yang Wuhui gave Zhou Mingen a big gift as soon as he entered Beijing. This big gift Zhou Mingen Still had to pick up.
Zhou Mingen also asked before leaving: "Princess Princess, do you two want to go to Bianjing with me?"
Zhan Yirong refused and said: "Master Zhou, Wuhui and I will not go to Beijing with you. You just go ahead!"
Zhou Mingen naturally would not force it, and left with Mrs. Zhang first.
When Yang Wuhui and Zhan Yirong were about to leave, Cui Yingjun called out to Yang Wuhui.
Yang Wuhui asked curiously: "Old man, is there anything else?"
Lao Zhuo sighed and replied: "I wonder if Mr. Xiao can tell Lao Zhuo how to deal with my brother-in-law?"
Yang Wuhui couldn't figure out what Cui Yingjun meant for a while. He could just handle this matter by himself. What should he do?
On the other hand, Zhan Yirong, who was next to him, said coldly: "If you really want to deal with it, just break his third leg. Why bother asking us!"
Yang Wuhui smiled, he also meant this, but he couldn't say it.
In the end, Yang Wuhui thought deeply and said: "Just reprimand him, after all, no one's life is life!"
After saying this, Cui Yingjun fell into deep thought.
But Yang Wuhui had gone far away with Zhan Yirong.
ps: This case is adapted from the case of Six Business Cards. It may not be good, but it may not be bad either.
