At this time, Wang Zimin held up Xia Juhua's body with tears in her eyes. He originally wanted to bury her on a sunny hillside, but in order to let her husband Yang Chunlong take a look, and to let the government punish Liu Pinhua as a living evidence, he Determined to use the white horse, the coffin-like white horse with a sad color, to carry her to a city in the north.
He asked Liu Dakun's family for a long rope, and immediately tied her body on horseback. Then he mounted the red horse, led the white horse, and set off in a solemn and solemn way.
This is no better than riding a horse alone, traveling thousands of miles a day and running eight hundred miles a night. On the way, Liu Pinhua woke up and started wailing. She loosened the kudzu and Wang Zimin tied him tightly again. After walking for a while, he let go again. He asked a farmer's house on the roadside for a thick rope and tied him tightly to the back of the horse. He couldn't let go until he got close to the city.
Prince Min traveled day and night and walked for two and a half days before he entered the city gate. Countless people were watching along the way. Some people were watching and asking questions. At first, Wang Zimin told the case, but later his tongue went dry and he got tired of talking. When others asked him, he just said, "We will talk about it later when we meet the case officer." I don’t know how many times I repeated this simple sentence.
There is a law of cause and effect, that is, those who plot against others will always be plotted against by others. Wu Liangliang suffered a big loss in the middle of the night when Wang Zimin went there. When Wang Zimin was talking to Yang Chunlong, he quietly ran away to report that someone had robbed the prison, but he just reached the entrance of an alley, his legs went weak and he could not walk. He moved and wanted to call someone, but he was afraid that Wang Zimin at the prison door would overpower him.
When Wang Zimin came in, he inspected the three paths near the prison, and placed hidden weapons at each intersection, called "sour and numb leg ropes", which lasted for an hour, and then lost their effectiveness, and the person whose legs were tied could resume their previous steps. state. When Wu Liang regained his gait, Wang Zimin had disappeared without a trace.
However, he was glad that Wang Zimin came. He saw with his own eyes that Wang Zimin gave Yang Chunlong one hundred taels of silver. He was even more fortunate that Yang Chunlong did not escape with Wang Zimin. If he escaped, it would be a trivial matter for him not to be a jailer, and he would be implicated.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to walk into the prison and said to Yang Chunlong, "Don't you want to die happily?" The county magistrate has interrogated you and stipulated that the day for you to hand over your head is coming soon. Please give me eighty taels of silver and I will go out at dawn to help you find the two heads. Yang Chunlong took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and gave him all the extra money. He counted well for a while, walked out with a grin, locked the cell door tightly, and took a leisurely nap beside the door again.
The next day Wu Liangliang left the prison compound. He frowned and moved his eyes. He took out two pieces of broken silver from the holes of his clothes, walked to the street to buy a chicken and a pound of wine and carried them out of the city gate. to his mother-in-law's house. The mother-in-law welcomed her happily and held a banquet to entertain her.
The mother-in-law's daughter Fenxiang is in her eighteenth year. Her lotus face is fragrant and her sandalwood mouth is red. When she heard her mother calling her, she was about to sift wine and toast to her brother-in-law. She was just approaching the table with the pot in her hands when Wu Liangliang suddenly pushed away the cup, put his arm around her neck, and said in a funny and vicious voice, Sister Yao, I want to borrow it from you today. head.
Is it possible to borrow a head? The mother-in-law who asked him in return glared angrily, thinking that he was teasing her daughter, and was about to go out to call someone. Wu Liangliang struck out with a knife, and the old head rolled to the ground. She stood headless and stubbornly walked two steps, and then died. Falling in a pool of blood.
This shock shocked Fenxiang out of her mind. She was trembling and unable to stand. Wu Liang hugged her and just touched her breast. Then he had evil thoughts and wanted to molest her.
When Fenxiang saw that he had killed his mother, she was filled with hatred. She bit the back of Wu Liang's right hand. He screamed in pain, but couldn't push away. Where could Fenxiang let go? Wu Liangliang immediately freed up his left hand, grabbed the bloody sharp knife, and slashed Fenxiang's neck several times. The poor young girl was instantly killed by the knife, and her body was also lying in a pool of blood. middle.
The back of Wu Liang's right hand was bitten. He went to the kitchen to scrape some ashes from the pot to stop the bleeding, but he was fine. After sitting at the table and eating some food and wine, he regained his strength. Then he stood up and cut off the head of the fennel with some skin and flesh. With it on his back, he went out and threw himself into the city.
Before the cards were drawn, Wu Liang handed over two heads to the county magistrate Sun Youfa for inspection. Sun Youfa asked to find out the whole story, but he only said that the two discarded human heads by Yang Chunlong had been recovered. He did not examine them carefully and ordered his subordinates to bury the two heads in wooden frames. That night, the hall was raised again, and Yang Chunlong and Wang Yuhuan were called to the hall, shouting, "You two conspired to murder, which one is the murderer?"
Uncle, Xiaosheng is the real murderer and deserves death! Yang Chunlong said this sadly, saying that he only wanted to die quickly so that he could end the pain of imprisonment and save the young lady's life. Sun Youfa immediately ordered Yang Chunlong to mark the case file and announce the execution date, and then withdrew the two prisoners.
On this day, Wang Zimin jumped on his horse and entered the city, and was rushing to the Yamen. Suddenly he heard that the county magistrate Sun Youfa went to the execution ground in the west of the city to execute the prisoners. Could it be that Chunlong was in danger? He was distraught. He turned around and kicked off the dying Liu Pinhua from the horse. He pulled the reins of the horse and clamped his legs together. The horse jumped up and flew towards the execution ground in the west of the city like an arrow.
After a while, the red horse galloped into the west of the city. Wang Zimin saw Yang Chunlong with a long death sentence tag stuck in his back. He was led by two sword and ax hands towards a remote slope. He shouted, "Keep the man under the sword," Unjust, wronged.
slow. When Sun Youfa saw Hong, an old man jumped out immediately and shouted that he was wronged. He stuck his head out of the sedan chair, wrapped his arms around him, and stood still with two swords and axes in hand.
Uncle, you are wronged! My disciple Yang Chunlong was falsely accused of murder and the evidence was not conclusive. Why was he executed so hastily? Wang Zimin handed over his hand and reported it, asking you to clarify the facts.
Hey! Sun Youfa sneered, raised his head, and his black gauze hat trembled. He squinted his eyes and said, "Where is this unscrupulous person who still wants to overturn the verdict of a death row prisoner?" Where is the evidence? Come from the truth.
It’s not convenient to talk about it here. Wang Zimin told a lie and took the opportunity to speak out. Can the uncle pass the conclusive evidence to Wang?
When Sun Youfa handles cases, he often announces the details of the case to the public to win people's hearts. Today, during the interrogation of the prisoners, two human heads in wooden frames were also brought. The onlookers had seen it and heard the county magistrate's detailed account of Yang Chunlong's crime. They all believed that Yang Chunlong had committed a heinous crime and deserved his death.
Now Wang Zimin asked about the evidence, and Sun Youfa asked his subordinate to show him two heads. He also snorted, saying that when I handle cases, I can learn from God's will, obey the gods above, and conform to the will of the people below. He furrowed his eyebrows and continued, "The prisoner Yang Chunlong has confessed to Hua Cuo, and the evidence is irrefutable. What can you say?" When Wang Zimin inspected the two heads, Sun You used his hand to send an order to execute the punishment——
stop. The swordsman raised his sword and was stopped again. Wang Zimin said angrily to the county magistrate, "Sir, your so-called ironclad evidence cannot withstand scrutiny. These two heads are fraudulent."
What? Sun Youfa was stunned. Wang Zimin continued to state that based on the facts of the case, the people Yang Chunlong killed should be a man and a woman, and they were both young people. Now the two heads are the faces of two women, one old and one young.
