Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Although Wu Xie looked down on Xu An for showing off in front of a group of ordinary people, he had to admit that Xu An's meticulous thinking still frightened him secretly.

He just didn't want to admit it!

As for Zhang Ergou, he was already doubting his life at this time.

He always thought that there was nothing wrong with his testimony. Even if no one proved it for him, the government had no way to prove his guilt.

As a result, all his luck was shattered by Xu An.

It turned out that he just thought too much. It turned out that his testimony was really full of loopholes.

"Awesome, you are worthy of being an adult!"

"Aunt Xu, we believe you, just try him!"

"That's right, whoever dares to question you again in the future, I will crush him with my legs!"

"..."

After a moment, the crowd who came to their senses suddenly broke out, and there was a fierce applause and cheers outside the door.

Obviously, they were all convinced by his reasoning.

Looking at this scene, Xu An thought to himself, aren't the people in Kyoto too open? This nonsense was said so confidently.

He touched his nose, looked at Zhang Ergou and said: "Zhang Ergou, now the evidence is conclusive, do you plead guilty?"

Although fingerprint and DNA identification is not possible in this era, these evidences are enough.

If not, investigating the fingerprints left on the neck of the deceased when he was strangled to death is also one of the evidences, but this matter has to be handed over to the coroner.

"I plead guilty!"

Zhang Ergou knew that it was useless to deny it, and he lay on the ground trembling.

"Bah, it turns out that it was really him, I said that the adults would not make a wrong judgment!"

"Zhang Ergou actually killed his wife, it's unbelievable, his wife could have slapped him to death."

"Humph, it's better to die, his shrewish wife is not a good thing either."

"..."

The people outside the door saw Zhang Ergou plead guilty and pointed at him.

"Have someone disperse the people outside and don't let anyone get close."

Xu An glanced at Zhan Peng.

Zhan Peng immediately understood and winked at the constable standing at the door.

The constable at the door immediately closed the door, and then there was a commotion outside, with the complaints of the people and the constable's explanations coming in.

Xu An ignored the outside and moved a chair to sit down, and Zhan Peng and Wu Xie stood on both sides of him.

Kong Yan'er wanted to say something, but she realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate to say something, so she had to hold it in and stood behind Xu An obediently.

"Zhang Ergou, why did you kill your wife?"

Xu An stared at Zhang Ergou and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you now. Your wife has been involved in the crime of child trafficking for a long time. If you want to know something, tell me everything."

"When the case is solved, I will give you a lighter sentence for your help in solving the case."

Then Xu An saw Zhang Ergou raised his head in surprise.

He was shocked, his pupils widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Seeing Zhang Ergou's face, Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why, you don't know?"

"Reply... Reply to the lord, I don't know."

Zhang Ergou shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "That woman is not at home for three days and two days. She only told me that she was doing big business with others and I was not allowed to ask about it."

"She would bring back more than ten taels of silver every once in a while, and I gradually believed her."

"It's just that I didn't know that she would do such a thing that hurts the world!"

When Zhang Ergou spoke, Xu An carefully looked at his every expression.

Finally confirmed that this guy didn't lie.

He really didn't know what his wife did outside.

Your sister!

You don't know what your wife does outside. She comes back with silver once every ten days or half a month. Any normal man knows that this is not normal, okay?

Aren't you afraid that your head is green?

"Okay, why did you kill your wife?"

Xu An found that the problem was back to square one.

Hearing this, Zhang Ergou held his head with both hands, and seemed unwilling to mention this topic.

Xu An did not force him, and waited quietly.

A moment.

Zhang Ergou said: "Yesterday, I came back from farming and asked for a cup of tea at the tea stall at the city gate. The boss told me that my wife had an affair with someone, and it was not the same person."

"I was so angry that I questioned her when she came back this morning."

"She actually admitted it, and said that I was just a small person at the bottom, and marrying her was a blessing from my previous life."

"I was so angry... I accidentally strangled her to death."

Brother, your reaction arc is too long, right? You need someone to remind you to know...Xu An was speechless. Zhang Ergou's character is called an honest man in later generations.

When an honest man gets ruthless, you don't even have a chance to regret it.Yes!

"Zhan Peng, have someone check the tea stall at the city gate to see if someone deliberately spread this matter."

Xu An suspected that someone deliberately used Zhang Ergou to get rid of his wife.

Although the probability is small, it still needs to be confirmed.

"Yes."

Zhan Peng bowed.

"Also, take Zhang Ergou back to the government office!"

Xu An stood up and walked out, saying, "Go back to the county government office and take another careful record."

Zhan Peng waved his hand, and two constables immediately stepped forward and carried the limp Zhang Ergou out.

But Xu An was stunned as soon as he opened the door and walked out.

The people who were watching the excitement were dispersed, but the constables who were originally guarding outside the door were almost all sticking to the house at this time, listening to the movements inside the house.

Damn, listening to the wall instead of the handsome guy and beautiful girl's little thing, what's so good about this, and they are all listening so attentively...Xu An clenched his fist and coughed lightly against his lips!

"Ahem!"

The detectives who were listening in the corner jumped up instantly, looking embarrassed.

Zhan Peng secretly covered his face, damn, he was so embarrassed today.

"Sir, you are really amazing, you solved the case in just a few steps."

"Yes, sir, we just want to learn from you."

"Sir, please don't mind, we were wrong..."

"..."

The detectives bowed and said.

But looking at Xu An, their eyes were full of admiration, and they were obviously impressed by Xu An.

"If you want to learn, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Xu An looked at everyone, patted his chest and said: "Wait until Gongsun Yan recruits all the members of our Nancheng County team, and I will personally train you."

"Follow me, I promise that you will all be successful."

Hearing this, everyone bowed and said: "Thank you, sir!"

Xu An waved his hand and said: "Let's go back to the mansion."

A group of people immediately returned to the government office in a heroic and high-spirited manner, leaving only a few people to wait for the coroner to perform an autopsy.

Kong Yan'er looked at Xu An who was walking in the front and shook her head.

Well, just two minutes of normality, and then back to the original form.

However, it still feels pretty handsome...
