"Publish the record of making an alarm to the court!"
Lou Hai gave an order, and a watchman in his fifties with a stooped figure was brought to the court.
"Niu Pu, tell me exactly what you saw the night before yesterday."
Lou Hai ordered.
The watchman named Niu Pu glanced at He Ping'an who was standing next to him, his face suddenly became frightened, and he was about to run down the hall.
"Be bold!"
Lou Hai shouted sharply: "How can you move around at will in the court!"
"If you don't answer when I ask you a question, I will punish you for false accusation!"
When Niu Pu heard about it, he immediately shuddered and falsely accused him of lying. This was the crime of beheading, and he definitely couldn't afford it.
Anyway, he was about to die. Niu Bu took courage, stood in the hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir... Sir, as soon as I entered the door that night, I saw the man next to me who had just been chopped with a knife. Laifu scared the villain to the point of fainting."
He Pingan's face twitched. Why did these words sound so familiar?
"Have you seen clearly, is this the person next to you?"
Lou Hai asked.
"The villain saw clearly that it was him. At that time, he slashed Laifu's neck with a knife, and the blood spurted out more than three feet high."
Niu Pu pretended to be brave, looked at He Pingan carefully, and then said affirmatively.
Having said this, Lou Hai looked at He Pingan and said, "He Pingan, did you hear me clearly? What do you want to say?"
He Pingan cleared his throat and said, "Master Lou, I have three questions. First, who is Laifu he is talking about?"
"The second question is, how does this watchman know who I am?"
"The third question is, since the watchman entered the yard at that time and I killed Laifu, why did I let him go instead."
He Pingan actually knows something, but at this time he needs to pretend not to understand, so as to appear innocent and ignorant.
Moreover, he used his spiritual consciousness to cover the entire Majiazhuang at that time. The watchman was indeed in Majiazhuang, but he was hiding under the eaves of a house to avoid the cold wind and was not near the house where Liu Ruoxiang was imprisoned.
Moreover, the person who did it was also Lu Yong, not him at all.
Therefore, there must be something wrong with what this watchman said.
"Okay, I will answer your questions one by one."
"Laifu is a nurse at Lichun Yuan and a native of Majiazhuang. The night before, we received a report from a watchman and went to Majiazhuang to investigate. We found three people dead in the yard of Laifu's home. , the ground is stained with blood, all of them are the nursing homes of Lichun Court."
"The three people suffered different casualties. One died of excessive blood loss, and the other two died of their throats being cut with a knife."
"One of them, Laifu, had his throat cut and died."
He Ping'an nodded and said nothing. The reason why he left the body that day was to warn the people in Lichun Court not to be too decisive in doing things.
When he thought about it, this warning was serious enough, and Li Chun Yuan would have retreated from the situation and chose to settle the matter. Unexpectedly, although the other party did not take action, they chose to let the watchman report the case.
He thought about this matter, and there must be someone from Lichun Court behind it, otherwise the watchman wouldn't be able to find him for no reason.
"The second question is because we checked the city gate's exit records. The night before, you were the only one who took Lu Yong and left Xuanyang with the Eternal Life Palace token."
He Pingan nodded and said nothing more.
There will be a curfew in Xuanyang City at night and the city gates will be closed.
But the Eternal Life Palace Token can be used unimpeded.
That night, he took Lu Yong with him. He couldn't use all his strength, so he had to pretend to be a sixth-grade martial artist. When he went out, he used the token of the Palace of Eternal Life before leaving the city.
Therefore, it is normal for Jingzhao Mansion to find out.
But this doesn't mean that he did it just because he left the city.
If someone is outside the city, they can also take up the case.
I will explain this later, but there is no need to say more at this time. The main point is the testimony of the watchman, which is the key.
"The third question is that according to Niu Bu, the watcher, you just happened to kill the third person at that time. You seemed to have been slightly injured, so you took Lu Yong and jumped away, so you didn't pay attention to Niu Bu who fainted."
Lou Hai finished answering all the questions, then looked at He Pingan and said, "Do you have any more questions?"
He Ping'an continued: "Sir, I think there is a problem. I am a sixth-grade martial artist. My martial arts spiritual sense can observe the surroundings. If I kill someone and leave, how come I can't find him as a watchman?"
Lou Hai said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this. I have specially invited a Confucian soul-searching mirror. I will let Niu Pu walk around later and we will know whether he is lying or not."
The Mind-Questioning Mirror is a Confucian magic weapon that can point directly to people's hearts. It is Daxuan's sharp interrogation tool. With this magic weapon, there are very few cases that cannot be solved.
However, Emperor Daxuan Xuanming set the rules at that time, and the questions asked in the heart mirror can only be used as evidence and cannot be directly used as the basis for conviction.
"Besides, you also have a motive for killing."
"It is said that Bao Hui of Lichun Court is coming to the court!"
As soon as Lou Hai finished speaking, several government servants came into the hall with an old lady in her forties who still had some charm.
"Bao Hui, please tell me about the relationship between Lu Yong and Liu Ruoxiang."
Lou Hai ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
The old lady named Bao Hui came up to the hall, glanced at He Pingan, and then said calmly: "The thief Lu Yong likes Liu Ruoxiang, the oiran in the courtyard, and Xiang'er was also attracted by his talent at first. , but later realized that this man could not give her happiness, so with the help of a commoner woman, she met a wealthy man outside the city."
"After he learned that Xiang'er was going to marry a rich man, he went to Lichun Court many times to threaten him. According to a guard in the hospital, Lu Yong deceived Mr. He Ping'an the night before, and then took this man with him. Lord He has left the city."
"On the second day, we received a notice from Jingzhao Mansion saying that three of our nursing staff died in Majiazhuang."
"Even our Xiang'er has disappeared. The women of the country may have also been poisoned by them, wuwuwu..."
Bao Hui held a silk scarf in her hand and sobbed softly. Even He Ping'an couldn't help but praise her after seeing it. These old bustards in the world are indeed qualified to be movie queens.
There are several old bustards in Lichun Courtyard. He Ping'an has met this old bustard named Bao Hui occasionally, but is not familiar with him.
"He Ping'an, what else do you have to say?"
Lou Hai asked, staring at He Pingan with burning eyes.
"Sir, I feel that I cannot just listen to one side of the story."
"Am I going to help Lu Yong kill someone just because of his words?"
He Ping'an said: "Why don't we call Lu Yong to the hall and ask him."
"Okay, as you wish."
Lou Hai did not hesitate, he winked, and naturally several officers went to fetch Lu Yong.
Lu Yong was brought to the court. He looked a little haggard, but there were no external injuries on his body. It should be because he had a good reputation, so Lou Hai could not torture him.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have been whipped countless times by now.
"Lu Yong, do you know your guilt?"
Lou Hai asked.
Lu Yong looked sad and angry, and said, "Sir, why is Xiaosheng so guilty?"
"Could it be that Xiaosheng and Master He killed those people just because Xiaosheng told Master He about Xiang'er?"
When He Pingan heard this, he felt confident. It seemed that the explanation given to Lu Yong after killing people that day still had some effect.
No matter who asks anything, they will not admit it. It is best to just say nothing.
Lou Hai said: "Lu Yong, I think you have a good reputation, so I didn't use the Questioning Mirror. But at this time, if you don't explain, you will inevitably go to the Questioning Mirror."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yong looked a little ugly and was speechless for a moment.
The madam next to her had a smug smile in her eyes. She was punished by the boss behind Li Chun Yuan because of Liu Ruoxiang's incident. At this time, she was extremely happy to see Lu Yong being tried and even being imprisoned and beheaded.
Those who dare to rob my oiran and even kill me, if you don’t die, I will stop selling seafood in the future!
"Sir, I would like to take a walk on the Mirror of Mind."
At this moment, Lu Yong suddenly spoke.
