When he returned to Qingshen County Yamen, Zhan Yirong couldn't help but ask.
"Is there really a so-called river god?"
Yang Wuhui thought for a moment before giving his answer.
"There is such a thing as God, if you believe in it, there is no such thing as if you don't believe it. But no matter what, I will definitely go and see what this river god looks like when the time comes!"
On the third day after arriving in Qingshen County, Zhang Shun cooperated with Xiao Wu to capture Ge Zhang.
After Ge Zhang was captured, he complained that he was wronged.
But Feng Wujiu didn't care about all that, and went straight to Ge Shun.
The four government officials shouted mightily. Although their momentum was much weaker, they had to admit that they were somewhat in tune with each other.
Feng Wujiu slapped the alarm and shouted: "Take Ge Zhang!"
After Ge Zhang went to court, he still complained that he was wronged.
As for the people who gathered around the county government office to watch the trial, many people had no idea what was going on.
But when they heard the people around them say it, they understood something.
It turned out that the case involved a human life. No wonder it was so lively and serious today.
Yang Wuhui was naturally not in front of the hall, but used another screen to hide behind Feng Wujiu.
If Yang Wuhui said something, Feng Wujiu would say something.
Feng Wujiu said: "Ge Zhang, Wu Ming's wife in Gejia Village disappeared a month ago. Two days ago, the county government found the body of Wu Ming's wife Wang Cui in a deep well not far from Gejia Village. And before Wang Cui disappeared, You once told Wu Ming, who was doing business in Gadfly Village, that if he didn’t come home, his wife would run away with him, yes or no?”
Ge Zhang nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, yes, that day I passed by Wu Ming's house and heard the voices of other men inside. I knew that Wu Ming's wife was having an affair with someone else. So I immediately went to Gadfly Village. I told Wu Ming, who was doing business, that his wife ran away with someone, and I didn’t know anything about it afterwards.”
Yang Wuhui sneered: "He is lying!"
Feng Wujiu slapped the crowd in shock and angrily shouted: "How dare you, Ge Da, to lie in front of me."
After Yang Wuhui spoke again, Feng Wujiu had something to say.
"You said you didn't know anything about it afterward, but after Wang Cui died, you ran to the next county. Was it to avoid disaster and you were afraid that others would know that you killed Wang Cui!"
Ge Zhang shouted: "Sir, it's nothing! The reason why I went to Linxian was just to do business. Wang Cui's death had nothing to do with me, and I didn't know that Wang Cui was dead."
After hearing this, Yang Wuhui said something to Feng Wujiu.
Feng Wujiu looked at Ge Zhang and snorted softly.
"This county magistrate knew that you would quibble. When I sent people to Linxian to arrest you, I also investigated your situation in Linxian and found that you were eating and drinking in Linxian. Basically, you stayed overnight in Linxian. The brothel has no business at all. And you are a lazy person in this county and have no money left. So where did the money you spent in Lin County come from? "
Ge Zhang's expression changed drastically and he quickly started to find reasons.
"Sir, this money was saved by my former father. I just recently found this money from under the rice vat at my house. My lord, isn't this allowed?"
Feng Wujiu said: "This county magistrate knew you were going to say this. Unfortunately, I had expected this move of yours."
Feng Wujiu said to Zhang Shun: "Zhang Shun, bring Mrs. Wang's husband, Wu Ming, here!"
Zhang Shun immediately agreed and quickly brought Wu Ming with him.
After Ge Zhang saw Wu Ming, he quickly said: "Brother Wu, I came to tell you with good intentions, why do you think I killed your wife! Brother Wu, you can't repay kindness with enmity!"
Wu Ming didn't understand what was going on at the moment, and he still looked confused.
After a while, Wu Mingcai said, "Sir, is there any misunderstanding?"
At this time, Yang Wuhui walked out from behind the screen. He opened a pair of earrings, a bracelet and two hairpins from his cloth and displayed them in front of Wu Ming.
Then he asked: "Wu Ming, do you recognize this thing?"
Wu Ming nodded and replied: "Of course I recognize it, this is my wife's thing! I bought these for her, especially this bracelet. My grandmother left it to my mother. My mother gave it to me and said For my future daughter-in-law.”
Yang Wuhui looked at Ge Zhang with a smile: "Ge Zhang, where do you think these things come from?"
Ge Zhang's expression changed greatly, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know, I've never seen it before!"
Yang Wuhui shook his head helplessly: "You are really stubborn. You went to Linxian and pawned these things in the Linxian pawnshop. They were worth fifteen taels of silver in total. The pawnshop owner still knows you. I want you to pawn these things." You don’t want me to call the pawn shop owner and recognize you! After all, he should recognize you clearly. When the pawn shop owner accepted your bracelet, he asked you why there were blood stains on it!"
At this moment, Ge Zhang collapsed directly to the ground.
Feng Wujiu also said: "Ge Zhang, until now, you still haven't recruited him from the ground up!"
Ge Zhang said with dull eyes: "Yes, I killed her, but she deserves to be killed!"
Wu Ming rushed over and grabbed Ge Zhang's collar angrily.
"Ge Zhang, I'm pretty good to you on weekdays. Why do you want to kill my wife?"
Ge Zhang said disdainfully: "Your wife, haha, she is nothing more than a slut who can do anything for her! You must not know her origins. She used to be the number one in the brothel in Linxian County, and then she came to us Ge Zhang. Jia Cun has become your wife."
Wu Ming let go of Ge Zhang's collar, as if he knew.
Feng Wujiu also asked: "So you use this as a threat. If she doesn't obey you, you will kill her?"
Ge Zhang looked at Feng Wujiu and let out a light chuckle.
"Sir, you are wrong. It was she who took the initiative to get together with me. Wu Ming is extremely boring, and there is no way I, Ge Zhang, can be as accommodating to me! She and I have been friends for a long time. It’s just that Wu Ming doesn’t know.”
Yang Wuhui was stunned, friend Beng, what kind of talk is this!
Could it be the dialect of their Qingshen County? After all, this was the first time Yang Wuhui heard this.
Feng Wujiu was weird and continued: "If that's the case, why did you want to kill her?"
Ge Zhang's eyes were mixed with complexity, and he began to recall what happened that day.
"That day, I went to look for her and wanted to make love with her, but I heard a man's voice coming from her room. And what she and the wild man were doing in the room came into my ears. I was so angry that I wanted to rush in and question this man. But if I really went in, my name would not be justified, so I thought of a way. I ran to Gadfly Village and told Wu Ming who was doing business. Who knew that this would happen? You coward, he obviously went back and could even catch you in bed, but he actually lingered at the door for a long time, then turned around and left."
At this point, Ge Zhang even sneered at Wu Ming and called him a coward.
