The Yamen Prisons in all counties of the Xia Dynasty were located outside the southwest Yimen of the lobby, commonly known as the "South Prison".While waiting for Zhong Chu and Wen Po, Long Xingtu seized the time to go to the southern prison and surprise the arraignment of Yahuan Hongxiu.She has always been serious, giving people a sense of authority without anger, "Hongxiu, you entered the Li Mansion as a slave at the age of eight, and waited for the Wang family for five years, you should know best what the Wang family is and what kind of character it is." ”"Back to the master's words, the second lady has a pure character and is kind to others, and she is a rare good master."
Hongxiu trembled, drooping her head, looking very sad.Long Xingtu nodded, "Poor good people died tragically, and they didn't have a good death!"
”When Hongxiu heard this, her head drooped a little lower, her ten fingers twisted her handkerchief, and her shoulders trembled slightly.Long Xingtu stared at Hongxiu quietly, her trial has always been different, rarely waiting for a big punishment, she likes to attack the heart, judge the truth from the suspect's body movements, subtle expressions and verbal reactions, and capture clues.For example, the art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight.Seeing this, the supervising Song Dianshi and the scrivener Zhang Qing looked at Long Xingtu in wonder, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd."
Hongxiu."
After a while, he suddenly heard Long Xingtu sigh softly, "The second lady treated you well in vain, and you didn't want to avenge the second lady's murder." ”When Hongxiu heard this, she knelt on the ground with a "plop", tears rained down, "No, no, the slave didn't think so, the slave and the maid were ......"
She suddenly broke her tone and refused to say another word."
What is it?"
Long Xingtu's expression was sharp, and he pressed forward step by step, "What happened to the Wang family before he died?"
Have you ever seen Li Fushan?
What is the relationship between the two of them on weekdays?
Who did the Wang family have a grudge with in the Li Mansion?
Where did the white silk that hanged Wang's come from?
”Hongxiu gasped for breath, "The slave doesn't know, I really don't know anything, I beg Master Long to let the slave go, the slave and the maid kowtow to you!"
”Long Xingtu slapped his palm on the desk and reprimanded: "Bold red show!"
If you don't report it, you should be punished with the same crime as the murderer!
”"Master, open grace!"
Hongxiu was frightened, and immediately collapsed, and stumbled out a few words from his mouth, "The master went to the second lady's room last night." ”"Li Fushan is really suspicious!"
Zhang Qing blurted out.Long Xingtu frowned, "Be specific, be careful, and don't miss a word!"
”"The master was very fierce and drove the slave and maid out, and then the slave and maid slept in the maid's room until midnight, as if he heard the cry of the second lady, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that the master would punish him.At the end of the day, the slave maid brought water to the second lady as usual, only to find that the second lady had hanged herself. ”"Then why did you hide it just now?""
The master confessed, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and whoever dares to talk nonsense in front of the officials will be sold to the kiln as a prostitute."
Long Xingtu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What is the relationship between Li Fushan and the Wang family on weekdays?"
”"The lord usually favors the second lady, and he has snubbed the eldest lady for the second lady many times, and several masters in the house should be the second lady who has the most heirs for the lord."
Hongxiu replied honestly, and didn't dare to lie anymore.Long Xingtu said: "Apart from you last night, did anyone else see Li Fushan enter the Wang family's room?"
When did Li Fushan leave, does anyone know?
”"This ......"
Hongxiu thought for a while, shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”After Long Xingtu took his hands, after pacing in place for a few laps, he ordered the arrester to quickly put Hongxiu into prison alone, and then pay close attention to all the dealings between the eldest lady and Li Fushan.
