In the past, it was said that Emperor Qin had a mirror, which could illuminate people's hearts and courage, and gain insight into world affairs.

In the lobby of government offices in every place, there is a picture of the rising sun on the sea behind the official chairs to show the integrity. Gongsun Zhuoyu changed into his official uniform and sat on the high hall, with the plaque "Mirror hanging high" hanging above his head.

Du Lingchun and the magistrate are hearing the trial, sitting beside them. One of them was waiting to see what happened, the other was waiting to find out what to do. The people outside surrounded the place tightly, and stretched their necks to see how Gongsun Zhuoyu tried the case.

Dan Qiu and Yu Sheng were kneeling in the hall, both pale. In particular, Gongsun Zhuoyu ordered people to carry that corpse up, so that in sunny days and daylight, he could scare people's souls away.

Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at where Du Lingchun was, and nodded slightly: "Sir, the next official is about to start the trial."

Du Lingchun always looked so lazy that his bones were pulled out. Hearing this, he lifted the lid of the teacup, his slender and white tail finger slightly raised, showing his femininity. With a cool voice, he said: "Master Gongsun only takes care of the trial, and our company only listens in and will not intervene at will. It is expected that Lord Zhifu is also the same."

The magistrate could only respond, and smiled awkwardly.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu withdrew his gaze, and slapped the gavel forcefully, the sound reverberated and shook the ghosts and gods, and the yamen servants on both sides hit the ground quickly with water and fire sticks, shouting "mighty" in unison.

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "The perpetrators Danqiu and Yu Shengquan, I sue you two for murdering Lei Quan, the steward of the magistrate Bieyuan, do you plead guilty or not!"

Danqiu seemed frightened by these battles, his face was pale and he couldn't speak. Yu Shengquan raised his head, but he only said eight words: "If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it."

This is an attempt to deny it to the death and to resist stubbornly.

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't care, and narrated the case according to the procedure: "Three days ago, an unnamed dead body was found in the ancient well in the Bieyuan of the Zhifu. After being identified by the maidservants in the mansion, they are all belongings of the long-lost maidservant Danqiu in the mansion."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately took a look at Danqiu, and then continued to add: "Because the corpse was severely corrupted, and the face could not be seen clearly, at first glance, everyone thought it was Danqiu's corpse. But after verification by the official , that corpse is Lei Quan, housekeeper of Bieyuan, the magistrate, oh, that is Miss Danqiu's fiancé."

As soon as he said this, the crowd immediately exploded. Looking at this posture, could it be that the poisonous woman and the adulterer killed the unmarried husband? ! But that little lady looked weak and weak, and Dr. Yu had always had a good reputation, no matter how she looked, she didn't look like someone who would do such a thing.

It's probably because the muddleheaded county magistrate misjudged the case, everyone thought so.

Gongsun Zhuoyu put the breakthrough point on Danqiu: "Miss Danqiu, did you kill Lei Quan?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Qiu subconsciously looked at Yu Shengquan, but the latter shook his head calmly at her. Dan Qiu closed his eyes in pain, bit his lower lip tightly, and after a while, he managed to utter a few words: "I didn't kill anyone..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought how good it would be to admit it openly and honestly, it takes so much effort every time. He simply walked out of the courtroom, put on the cloth gloves handed by the master, and then lifted the white cloth covering the corpse amidst the exclamations of everyone——

The carrion on the corpse has been cleaned up, and now only a thick white bone remains.

Gongsun Zhuoyu picked up the head of the corpse, and showed Danqiu the slit in the back of the head: "Lei Quan was hit on the back of the head with a heavy object, and after his death, he was thrown into the well. Coincidentally, While searching around, the officer found the murder weapon."

He said, and ordered someone to bring up the cobblestone: "Miss Danqiu, there is a bamboo bush in the courtyard where you live, and that's where I found this pebble. Lei Quan's blood, do you want to take a closer look at it?"

As Gongsun Zhuoyu said, he passed the stone forward, and Danqiu's face turned pale with fright. Du Lingchun took a sip of tea at the side, thinking that Gongsun Zhuoyu was also a cramped one.

Danqiu didn't dare to look at the corpse, let alone the stone, covered his face with a handkerchief, turned sideways and shook his head in horror: "No...I...I didn't...Why should I kill him..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Because you already have a sweetheart and you don't want to marry Lei Quan."

He said, and took out another sweat towel: "This is a men's sweat towel found in a drawer in your room, with the word 'Quan' embroidered on it. At first, I thought it was Lei Quan's 'Quan'. But later I found out that it was Yu Shengquan's 'Quan'."

All the clues connected in series are actually enough to deduce the whole case.

Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his sleeves and walked back and forth in front of Danqiu: "I once found a handkerchief under the pillow in your room, which was stained with tears. It was really heartbreaking, but you are going to kill me immediately." If you are married to your fiancé, Lei Quan, why are you crying? Because you already belong to your heart, "

As Gongsun Zhuoyu said, he walked up to Yu Shengquan, remembering what happened to the brothel last time, and quietly kicked him forcefully: "And this person is Yu Shengquan, the doctor sitting in Jishengtang!"

Yu Shengquan groaned in pain, but dared not speak out.

The people watching from behind crazily ate melons.

Gongsun Zhuoyu stared at Danqiu all the time: "But you are a servant of the prefect Bieyuan's family, the contract of selling your life is not in your hands, and you can't control your own marriage, so you have no choice but to marry the housekeeper Lei Quan."

Hearing this, Danqiu recalled some painful memories, his eye circles were faintly red, and his whole body trembled.

Gongsun Zhuoyu seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and his voice was gentle, but piercing like a needle: "So you

Conspired with Yu Shengquan and killed Lei Quan. "

Danqiu panicked suddenly: "No! We didn't! We didn't kill anyone!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu weighed the bloody cobblestone in his hand, it was so heavy that Danqiu couldn't move it: "Yu Shengquan attacked Lei Quan from behind with stones, causing him to die on the spot. You are afraid that people will find out, so you want to throw the body into the well. But even if Lei Quan is dead, Dan Qiu is still a slave, and he can't escape the government's investigation and escape from the city, so you came up with a plan."

Next to it, there are yamen servants presenting evidence, a bloody wedding dress, and a fallen golden hairpin.

By the way, Gongsun Zhuoyu compared Danqiu's bun and found that it was roughly the same as the one on the corpse: "You dressed Lei Quan in women's clothes, and the accessories were all Danqiu's usual items, in order to ensure that if the corpse When it was found, people could tell at a glance that it was the body of 'Dan Qiu'. It just so happened that Lei Quan went back to his hometown to visit his relatives and was away from the mansion for a few days, so he was not noticed."

No matter what, Danqiu couldn't escape the guilt. She was found by the government servants in Yu Sheng's family in full view. Even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn't explain it. She gritted her teeth and became cruel, but she took the blame herself: " That's right, I killed all of Lei!"

She is obviously a weak woman, but when she said this, apart from tears, there was also a shocking cruelty in her eyes, which caused an uproar around her.

Dan Qiu closed her eyes: "I am the son of a family member of the family, and my marriage can only be arranged by the master. Lei Quan knows that I have someone he likes, but he still asks the magistrate to ask me to go... ..."

At this point, she choked up for a moment before continuing: "I begged him to redeem my contract of sale, but he just refused to give it. I had no choice but to ask Brother Shengquan to take me away with me."

Yu Shengquan knelt beside him, anxious and ugly.

"That day, Lei Quan went home to visit relatives. I thought it was a good time, so I packed up my things and wanted to escape. But who would have thought that Lei Quan didn't take him with him all the way, and turned back halfway, and found me and Brother Shengquan. Ready to elope, the two of them directly wrestled together..."

Yu Shengquan was so nervous that his back broke out in cold sweat. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth. It wasn't until Dan Qiu said the next words that he heaved a sigh of relief.

Danqiu: "I was afraid that brother Sheng Quan would be injured, so I moved a stone to throw Lei Quan. Who would have thought that he would be killed by mistake. I simply changed him into my own clothes, combed his hair into a bun and pretended to be a woman. He pushed into the well, fled the mansion and hid in Brother Shengquan's house."

She took the blame for the crime by herself, she didn't know if it was because of the broken jar, she didn't cry anymore, she just closed her eyes and waited for death.

When Yu Shengquan heard the words, a flash of guilt flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything to explain, he actually acquiesced.

Gongsun Zhuoyu laughed: "The girl is actually a lover, but it's a pity that she entrusted it to the wrong person."

He also saw Yu Shengquan visiting the brothel that day, drinking tea with an oiran girl.

Originally, someone pleaded guilty, but Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't bother to continue the investigation. It was his style to close the case as soon as possible. It's just that Yu Shengquan is too hateful, it would be a pity if he just let him go.

Gongsun Zhuoyu said to Danqiu: "Your room has a very strong scent of incense, because that is the first scene where Lei's whole body died. In order to cover up the smell of blood, you lit a heavy incense, right?"

Dan Qiu nodded: "Yes..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu groaned: "In this case, it means that Lei Quan did not die by the well. But you are weak and sick, and your strength is insufficient. Lei is eight feet tall. How did you lift a heavy stone? He was crushed to death, how did he drag him all the way from his residence to the well to throw his body?"

This is a very real problem, because Danqiu can't lift that rock at all, nor can he drag Lei Quan.

After he finished speaking, he put the stone on the ground with a clang, and his voice was dull, showing its weight.

Dan Qiu realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and his face turned pale, while Yu Shengquan beside him fell to the ground powerlessly as if his soul had been pulled out.

Gongsun Zhuoyu made a conclusion, pointing to the two of them: "Yu Shengquan killed everyone, Miss Danqiu, you are the accomplice."

Both of them did not refute, and their expressions were gray and defeated.

The people outside immediately exploded. They didn't expect that Yu Shengquan was really the murderer. Those who couldn't believe it, those who looked down upon him, and those who were more amazed at Gongsun Zhuoyu's ability to solve cases.

Du Lingchun rested his head on his back, his eyes drooped when he saw the situation, although he didn't say anything, it was not difficult to see the expression of satisfaction on his face.

The magistrate was full of resentment, he didn't want Gongsun Zhuoyu to steal the limelight, after thinking about it, he suddenly found a suspicious point, and asked aloud: "How can I remember that Master Gongsun once said that the corpse is dead?" More than fifteen days, if this corpse is really Lei Quan, why did it rot so quickly in just a few days?"

This Gongsun Zhuoyu also thought about it, the degree of decay of the corpse is largely determined by the surrounding environmental factors. At first he thought it was caused by the water in the well, so he hanged a dead mouse, but found that the rate of decay was normal, and he didn't discover the clue until later.

Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled, and pointed at Yu Shengquan: "As for this question, the magistrate will ask him."
