Three-pot porridge and naan

Chapter 14 Early August 8st Ascension Day 1 Asking Kang in front of Moli Hall 2, opening...

"How do you say Hu Lai was the murderer in Santaoyuan? What evidence is there?" Xing Qingtian asked.

"Hu Lai originally had some feuds with the Kang family, but there was no enmity. The fermentation of the matter began when Kang Boning learned that there were jade stones on the mountain behind Yaojia Village. It was also the case of Yumu, the young owner of Yulou, on July 28. The Kang family proposed Zhanshan, there used to be seven or eight households living on the mountain, but the manager of the Yu family and Kang Boning drove them down the mountain, and beat them if they didn’t leave, so two households moved out that day.”

"But Hu Lai and several other households were not evicted immediately because they lived under the mountain at the back of Yaojia Village. They were also ordered to move out within two months. A few were disabled."

"Kang Boning sent more than a dozen people to Yaojia Village to beat up Hu Lai, and told him that if he didn't move, he had to move. If he was honest, he would take the money and leave. It was at this time that Hu Lai held a grudge against Kang Boning... But Yaojia Village Some people think that the people sent by the Duyu family to beat Hu Lai, only Hu Lai recognizes that half of them are Hu people who Kang Boning is familiar with in the horse market." Speaking of this, Mo Li frowned slightly, Wan Dong How can the doctor even find out about this kind of thing.

Wandong went in and out of the horse market a few times that day, and learned about it after chatting for a long time with some barbarian bosses.

Besides, Hu Lai is a tolerant person. He was beaten in front of many people, and he lost all face without showing any hatred for Kang Boning. The villagers laughed at him for being beaten and crippled. There was no sign of displeasure in appearance.

So when Kang Boning was killed, no one thought of Hu Lai.

After all, Hu Lai has been out of Santaoyuan for more than a year, and has lost contact for a long time.

But before Yu's family did their own investigation and met the officials, who knew that Boss Kang was involved in the iron factory on the hill behind Yao's village.

"July 22, just as the steward of the Pearl who was sent by the Yu family with the iron pestle left without a cup of tea, Hu Lai sneaked into the scattered peach orchard. The horse's reins were put around his neck, and he was strangled to death by Hu Laixian during the struggle, and then smashed with an iron pestle beyond recognition."

As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.

Xing Qingtian: "I heard that now, Mr. Mo, what you said is reasonable, and Hu Lai also had a motive for committing the crime, but what evidence is there to prove that Hu Lai must have killed him?"

"Hu Lai is very familiar with Santaoyuan. He has worked in the garden for several years. He knows that the rest days of Santaoyuan are the second and 22nd of every month. And he knows that if the people in the backyard want to go back to their mother's house, it should be a rest day. Yao Mrs. and her servant girl did embroidery work for Kang Boning, if I am not mistaken, Kang Boning sold Yao's embroidery to the south, and it should have sold at a high price."

So Kang Boning had selfishness with Kang Yule, and would not divorce Yao Shi. Of course, apart from these, he still had feelings for Yao Shi.

"On the other hand, the Yao family happened to have conflicts with Kang Boning on the night of the 21st, so they went back to their mother's house early in the morning on the 22nd, and were sent off by Wang Zi, Kang Boning's servant. There was no one in the peach garden, which gave Hu Lai a chance."

Xing Qingtian let out a "snap" and said awkwardly, "Master Mo, after all you have said, there is still no solid evidence to prove that Hu Lai killed someone."

"On the morning of the 24th, Hu Lai received a letter from his uncle in Luokou, saying that he was dying of illness and asked him to go back to his hometown. The township courier who sent the letter to Yaojia Village has no control over the letter in the Luokou area, so, Mr. Xing, tell me how this letter got into the hands of the post station township courier."

"Could it be that someone secretly put the letter in the letter bag of the village messenger?"

Mo Li smiled: "Master Xing is really a master of Qingtian. Yes, the letter was secretly stuffed in. At 24, the township messenger ate three bowls of tofu stew at the suburban market before dawn. The grandson of the tofu stewed mother-in-law secretly stuffed it in. The innocent child was instigated for three bunches of candied haws. Who was the instigator? It was a man from the Kang family's pawn shop not far from the suburban market. Boy."

"Come here, bring the little fool to the hall." Mo Li called out to the gate of the yamen.

Wang Zi, who was standing in the courtroom watching the people, was taken aback. Wasn't the one who was arrested and brought here soon, the little idiot who didn't come back last night?

The little idiot knelt down and kowtowed to Xing Qingtian: "Your Excellency, check clearly, the letter was given to me by the second son-in-law's boy, saying that he asked me to find a way to stuff it into the letter bag of the messenger in Yaojia Village on the morning of the 23rd. It was too late." No, even if it is found out, if it is done well, I can get ten taels of silver. As a young man, I may not get ten taels of silver after working hard for ten years. Come here, only come here at 23, this is the opportunity to catch..."

Mo Li sneered: "But Second Young Master died, you didn't get ten taels of silver, and you even realized that the person who brought you the message that day was not Second Young Master's servant at all, and that person never appeared again."

"..." The little stunned man was speechless and could only kneel and kowtow.

Mo Li: "And the letter sent to Zhengna in Yaojia Village led Hu Lai to Luokou, but Hu Lai didn't go to Luokou and disappeared on the way! Mr. Kang, do you know about this?"

Mo Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Kang Shu'an who was standing in the courtroom. Because of his fame, Kang Shu'an didn't have to kneel down. At this moment, he was standing straight in a beige satin robe.

"My lord, I don't know Hu Lai, so how do I know?"

Mo Li suddenly remembered what Wandong said before he was promoted, if Kang Shu'an didn't admit it, then...

Turning his eyes, Mo Li suddenly took two steps forward, frightened that Kang Shu'an couldn't stand and took a step back.

Mo Li sneered: "Mr. Kang, you really think that the person who pretends to be Shi Lei's servant and delivers the letter to the fool can't be caught, right?"

Mo Li's gaze was firm, and there was no expression on his face. This kind of Mo Li made the little fool tremble with fright, but Kang Shu'an said in a low voice: "My lord, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Mo Li saw that he would not die until the Yellow River, so he took a deep look at him: "Hu Lai sneaked into Santaoyuan to kill people, Kang Shu'an, why did you want Hu Lai to leave Yaojia Village? Or are you the one who ordered Hu Lai to kill people?"

As soon as he said this sentence, the audience was in an uproar, and the surrounding people talked about it.

"You...how can you slander me like this?? That's my big brother! You!" Kang Boning yelled while clutching his chest.

Mo Li flicked his sleeves, cupped his hands and said to Xing Qingtian who was sitting in the hall: "My lord, in order to make the case clear, I would like to open the coffin for an autopsy."

When the coffin was opened, it was naturally Kang Boning's coffin.

After only stopping for a while, Kang Shu'an suddenly stretched out his finger tremblingly and pointed at the ink carp.

"My elder brother has been buried...you, what do you mean!"

Mo Li turned to look at Kang Shu'an: "What do you mean by this officer? I am here to give the deceased an explanation, to reveal the truth of the case, so that the deceased can rest in peace."

Xing Qingtian patted the gavel: "I'm sure, come here! Go immediately, open the coffin for an autopsy!"

After Xing Qingtian finished speaking, he went to the courtroom. The teacher beside him wrote like a wind, the police guarded the courtroom, and Mr. Kang also stood still and did not dare to move. However, compared with before, his eyebrows and expressions at this moment are slightly more complicated. .

Mo Li quickly walked towards the side door of the court, where Wandong was listening in at the moment.
