  Chapter 1614 The truth comes out

   "Master Zhu, Lord Zhao, I have something to report in my humble position." The clerk stepped forward, bowed to Zhao Zhixian and Zhu Ping'an, and said with a little excitement on his face.

   "Master Zhu, this is Zuo Qian, the clerk of our yamen gate, who was born as a child, and has always been careful and conscientious in his work."

  Zhao Zhixian introduced to Zhu Pingan softly.

   "Yes, Zuo scribe, what did you find?" Zhu Pingan nodded approvingly, and asked Zuo Qian.

"Returning to my lord, when I was inquiring and recording Liuwang Town Yizhuang, I found something. Liuwang Town Yizhuang undertook three funerals during the incident. Among them, a strange thing happened when I was doing funerals for Zhao Zhuang's maidservants. At that time, it was Zhao Yuanwai who sent someone to invite them over, saying that a maid in their family had unfortunately passed away. When Liuwang Town Yizhuang arrived at Zhao Yuanwai, they were closing the coffin. The shroud lay in a thin coffin, and after closing the coffin, it was carried outside the town for burial. When the people in Yizhuang, Liuwang Town carried the coffin for the funeral, they felt that the coffin was very light. They didn't seem to restrain themselves. At that time, they thought Zhao Yuanwai was stingy and cut corners for the thin coffin used by the maid, so they didn't think much about it."

   Zuo Qian cupped his hands and stepped forward, softly reporting the suspicious points recorded in Liuwang Town Yizhuang to Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Zhixian in detail.

  Zhao Zhixian immediately became excited when he heard the words. This doubt is worth digging into. He looked excitedly at Zhu Ping'an.

  Zhu Ping'an nodded slightly.

   "Check who made the coffin for Yuan Zhao's family at that time, and see if there are any cut corners." Zhao Zhixian ordered.

"Return to your lord, the humble job has been verified." The left scribe replied, "It was made by Qianji Coffin Shop in Liuwang Town. Qianji Coffin Shop swears that although the coffin they made for Zhao Yuanwai's family was a thin coffin, But there is absolutely no cutting corners, they are all using real materials, what they earn is conscience money, and cutting corners will be punished."

   "Whether it's cutting corners or something else is wrong, you'll know once you inspect it." Zhu Pingan made a decisive decision and decided to go to the inspection immediately.

Zhao County Magistrate immediately made arrangements, "Master Zhu is very true. Invite the people from Yizhuang, Liuwang Town, and ask where the maids of Yuan Zhao's family are buried, and ask them to lead the way. We will take Wu Zuo and others, and go to open the coffin. Autopsy."

   Soon, the officials and servants of the county government were ready to go.

   "My lord, the maid of Yuan Zhao's family is buried outside Liuwang Town, in the forest belonging to the Zhao family."

  The people in Yizhuang, Liuwang Town, remember very clearly that they got into the carriage of the Yamen, led the way, and led the people there.

  Chen Dacheng and his clan outside the yamen heard about it and followed them.

   Soon, the people from Yizhuang in Liuwang Town took everyone to the place. In a forest, there was a small grave in an inconspicuous place.

  After burning a pile of paper money, Zhu Pingan bowed his hands to the grave bag and said, "If you offend, I will make the decision for you."

  Zhao Zhixian also bowed his hands and waved his hands to order the people and guards in Yizhuang to start digging down.

  It was very open, and the coffin was dug out.

   Indeed, as Liuwang Town Qianji coffin said, although this coffin is a thin coffin, it is indeed full of workmanship and materials.

  Open the coffin.

   Yamen Zuozuo began to work on the autopsy.

  The crowd covered their mouths and noses and stepped forward to watch. When they saw it, there was a burst of doubt, "Huh? No, this coffin is wrong. Why is the bottom of the head so flat, as if there is only one layer of clothes?"

  After Wu Zuohua bloomed his clothes, there was an unexpected scream, "Why is there only one head, and there is a ball of rotten cotton underneath?"

  Although the head has rotted and cannot be identified, it is obvious that this head is the one we are looking for.

  Zhao Zhixian couldn't help but look at Zhu Ping'an in admiration. He was astonished.

   "The night is long and there are many dreams, Zhao Zhixian should give an order quickly." Zhu Pingan took a deep breath and said to Zhao Zhixian.

   "I obey." Zhao Zhixian nodded vigorously, and then ordered his opponent to arrest the head, "Observe the order, and Zhao Yuanwai can be arrested and brought to justice."

   "Follow orders." The leader took orders.

"Wait. At the same time, carefully search Zhao Yuan's house, and don't miss any place. Whether it's a well, a secret room, or a tunnel, you have to search the ground three feet. After you find Chen Erlang's wife, Mrs. Zhang, take her with you Go back to the county government office. If you can’t find it, you will control everyone in Zhao Yuanwai’s family and ask them one by one, whether you have seen Mrs. Zhang, whether there is a secret room in Zhao’s residence, and where Zhao Yuanwai has been frequently and mysteriously recently. After asking, Immediately go to the place, find Mrs. Zhang, and bring them back to the county government; if Mrs. Zhang cannot be found, arrest Yuanwai Zhao first." Zhu Pingan stopped the arrester and gave further instructions.

   Once the leader is found, the case is clear. The instigator of Chen Erlang's murder of his wife was Zhao Yuanwai, and the victim was a maid in Zhao Yuanwai's house. The reason why the maid's head was cut off was to confuse the public and make people think that the victim was Zhang; The purpose of doing it is self-evident.

   "Oh, that's right, that's right," Zhao Zhixian said thoughtfully, and nodded repeatedly.

   "Obey." The headhunter took the order and set off immediately with his guards.

   "Patriarch Chen, people in the county government may not know Mrs. Zhang, so you should follow along to identify him." Zhu Pingan said to Chen Dacheng and others.

   "Obey." Chen Dacheng clasped his fists at Zhu Ping'an, saluted heavily, and then led his clansmen to chase after him.

   About an hour later, the head arrester of the Yiwu county government office and Chen Dacheng and others returned to the county government office with a well-tied rich middle-aged man and a beautifully dressed woman.

   "My lord, Xiaozhi and others have been ordered to arrest Zhao Tongming and Zhang Yuanwai, and found Zhang Chunmei and Mrs. Zhang in the secret room of Zhao's study."

Catch the head and clasped the fists to return to life. This trip went smoothly. After Zhang Yuanwai was arrested, Mrs. Zhang was not found in Zhang's residence at first, but the housekeeper of Zhang Yuanwai's residence confessed that there was a secret room in Zhao's residence, and he found it when he opened the secret room. For a woman who was hiding, Chen Dacheng, who was traveling with her, directly called out the woman's name, which was Chen Erlang's wife, Mrs. Zhang.

"good very good!"

  Zhao Zhixian nodded excitedly.

  Ms. Zhang was found, and Zhao Yuanwai could no longer hide his crimes, so he confessed everything at the first trial.

   Zhao Yuanwai is also a scholar, but he is an arty scholar, and he has poems and essays with Chen Erlang. Once Zhao Yuanwai went to Chen Erlang's house to visit Chen Erlang, and when he saw Mrs. Zhang, he was immediately shocked.

  Zhao Yuanwai is a master of the middle class, and he is wealthy, with extraordinary skills. After several times, he hooked up with Mrs. Zhang.

  The two often had an affair when Chen Erlang was out meeting friends. Sometimes it was Zhao Yuanwai who came to Chen's house secretly, but he was afraid of being discovered. More often, Zhang went out for reasons such as going out to worship Buddha, returning to his mother's house, or going to the market. Secret meeting.

  The two are not satisfied with cheating, and intend to stay together forever.

Zhao Yuanwai thought hard for half a year, and came up with an idea. He specially bought a maid who was about the same height and figure as Zhang, and had a simple family background. After murdering her, he cut off her head, put her head in a coffin, and stuffed it with cotton. The body was made of clothes and buried in a coffin; she was put on Zhang's clothes and carried to Chen Erlang's house at night to frame Chen Erlang to kill his wife; The money was comforting, the maid's family was poor, and she received a hundred taels of silver, she was overjoyed, and there was no way she would pursue it.

   Zhao Yuanwai hid Mrs. Zhang in the secret room of his home, and was going to wait for Chen Erlang to kill him. After the matter completely subsided, Mrs. Zhang changed her face again

  Zhao Yuanwai and Zhang thought they had a plan. During this period of time, they stayed and flew together in the secret room. They were happy, and they were waiting for Chen Erlang to kill him.

  Unexpectedly, I met Zhu Ping'an.

  The two were smart but were misunderstood by their cleverness. The missing leader became the key to solving the case.

   "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord"

  Chen Dacheng supported his younger brother and knelt and kowtowed excitedly, he couldn't hold back his head, his head was swollen.
