Chapter 452 Cui Meng 2
But he said that Li Shen was bullied, and Cui Meng witnessed it with his own eyes. The family was so cruel that it aroused the courage of the hero, and his anger surged like a mountain. The whip immediately came forward and was about to be rescued. Her mother was afraid that he would get into trouble, so she quickly stopped him and said through the curtain, "Stop! The old problem has happened again?"
Cui Meng had no choice but to hate him. When he returned from the funeral, he didn't say anything, and his wife talked to him and ignored him. This night, I went to bed with my clothes, tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep. Suddenly, I jumped up, went out and left, and returned for a long time.
The next morning, the servant came to report: Last night's murder case, all the evil young family were killed, the heart was cut and the intestines flowed to the ground. Li Shen's wife was also killed with bad luck. Under the bed, there was a pitiful wisp of fragrant soul.
Cui's mother sighed when she heard the words: "The beauty is thin. The little lady's life was hard. She was first humiliated by the evil young man and killed by the villain. It's a pity, it's a pity.
Cui Meng was furious and shouted, "What's the pity that such a water-based woman will be killed? If it's really Sanzhen Jiulie, when you were humiliated at the beginning, you should have committed suicide, not only to keep your innocence, but also to have a full name!"
When Cui's mother heard the words, she stopped talking, but she couldn't help but doubt: My son is so excited, is he the culprit?
※※※
The evil young master was killed, and the county magistrate filed a case for investigation. He privately speculated that the evil young master and Li Shen had a hatred for taking his wife. His wife was insulted, and he was cuckolded, so he was naturally angry. Just don't stop doing it. Kill the evil young man first, and then kill his wife. Yes, it must be like this.
Thinking of this, I immediately issued a document: arrest Li Shen immediately. After a beating, he refused to plead guilty. The county magistrate was originally cruel, hard-hearted, stupid and arrogant. Since he has determined that Li Shen committed the murder, he went to the dark and tortured him every day. In short, he had no choice but to plead guilty.
Li Shen was tortured, his skin was open, and his leg bones were exposed, which was really hard.
As a last resort, it became a trick. The county magistrate ordered him to draw a bet and close the case on the spot: Li Shen committed murder and was executed according to the law. He was imprisoned for the time being, waiting for the review of the court.
When Cui Meng heard the news, he was worried and couldn't sleep and eat. Soon after, the old mother was seriously ill and was killed. After the funeral, Cui Meng said to his wife, "I kill the evil young man, so do I. In the past, because my mother was alive, I didn't dare to reveal it. Now that the big thing is over, how can you commit a crime and make others suffer? I'm going to turn myself in and exchange my life for another. His wife tried his best to keep him. Cui Meng didn't listen and went to the county government. He beat the drum and shouted, "The murderer is here. If you want to kill him, you can do it."
The county magistrate asked about the case. He was in a dilemma. He came to Li Shen and asked, "Who are the murderers of you two?"
Li Shen said, "It's me."
Cui Meng shouted, "No, it's me." They quarreled with each other and rushed to plead guilty.
Li Shen did not kill anyone. Why is he willing to plead guilty?
It turns out that Li Shen is righteous and quite bloody. When his wife was arrested, he had a deep grudge against the evil young master, but he was weak and could not revenge. Cui Meng. Stand up and be a gangster. I'm so grateful. As soon as he entered the court, he made up his mind that he would bear all the charges. In any case, he must not let his kindness go to prison.
The county magistrate was furious and scolded, "Fury! How can it be a joke in the public hall? What's the style of making noise? Li Shen, let me ask you, you said you were the murderer, so what kind of murder weapon did you use when committing the crime?
Li Shen said casually without thinking, "I used a kitchen knife."
Cui Meng shook his head and said, "No, the murder weapon is a bull's ear sharp knife. I carry it with me. I can't remember correctly."
The county magistrate was stunned and thought, "Yes, it's really a sharp knife." He was clear in his heart. He mentioned the shocking wood, patted him heavily, and shouted, "Come on, take Cui Meng to prison and wait for it to be dealt with. As for Li Shen, he lied, deceived me, blamed the 20 boards, and let him go home.
The case is over.
Soon after, Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to the county government and looked through the files. He was shocked to see Cui Meng's name on the death row list. He immediately retreated and met Cui Meng alone. It turned out that Zhao Shilang was not someone else, but a monk. Brothers meet, sad and happy.
The monk asked, "What crime did my brother commit? Did he receive such a heavy punishment?" Cui Meng said it one by one.
The monk muttered, "That's the point. I can't watch my brother die. Let me hit some joints and try to dredge it." Cui Meng was still put in prison and told the jailer to be kind and not to be sentenced.
A few days later, the Ministry of Criminal Justice issued a document: Cui Meng accidentally injured people's lives, and Gu Nian had the virtue of a good life. He opened the net and filled the army in Yunnan, and there was no need to be beheaded.
So, Cui Meng was assigned to southern Xinjiang and changed to hard labor. After that, he was acquitted and released to his hometown. That's because the monk's brother worked hard and mediated with the left and right.
