"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" Cui Wenshuo lay on Cui Wendong's body with grief on his face. After a moment, he roared at the onlookers, "Who, who killed my fifth brother!"
Everyone's expressions changed in shock at Cui Wenshuo's angry look, and they hurriedly and subconsciously moved out of the way.
An Jingzhong, who was panicked, covered in blood, and his face was as pale as paper, became more and more conspicuous.
"Did you kill my fifth brother?" Cui Wenshuo strode forward, grabbed An Jingzhong by the collar with anger on his face, and threw him to the ground.
Then he shouted, "Come here, arrest the culprit!"
An Jingzhong, who was in so much pain, came to his senses at this time and hurriedly got up, "How dare you! I am the commander of the Shenwu Army, and my father is the commander of the compartment, An Leiting. You have no basis and evidence, so you are not allowed to arrest him randomly." Man!”
“He’s the son of the An family?” Cui Wenshuo said with disdain, “So what, no matter what his family background is, he still needs to be punished according to the law”
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone you, a mere Master An?" Cui Wenshuo said in a very angry tone, "It's okay if the prefect of Changzhou Fucheng dare not hear the case because he is afraid of An Jia, then I will report the case to the The emperor asked, let’s ask the current emperor how to deal with Cui Jiaerlang when he was killed by Mr. An!”
Cui Jiaerlang?
The color that had just returned to An Jingzhong's face receded again, and his eyes became more frightened.
Was it Cui Wendong, the fifth son of the Cui family, who died?
Although he is just a bastard, if the Cui family’s son is killed, the Cui family will definitely not let it go.
Then what will happen to him...
An Jingzhong couldn't help but shudder.
It wasn’t until Cui Wenshuo’s men pushed him down and were about to tie him up that An Jingzhong shouted, “Quick, go to the military camp and tell my father the news, and ask him to rescue me quickly. There will be a reward.” , there is a big reward..."
An Jingzhong continued to shout, but someone thought he was noisy, so they randomly pulled a piece of cloth, blocked his mouth, and then dragged An Jingzhong aside.
"The murderer is so arrogant and arrogant. It's really abominable!" Cui Wenshuo said angrily, and then looked at the room with sorrow on his face, "Don't worry, fifth brother, I will definitely avenge you and kill the murderer." Bring him to justice and let him receive the punishment he deserves!"
The onlookers started talking in whispers.
There was a murder case in Cuiyan Tower.
The person who was killed was actually the fifth son of the Cui family.
The murderer turned out to be An Jingzhong, the son of the commander An Leiting...
“I really didn’t expect it!”
Everyone sighed and found it a bit incredible.
After all, you go to Cuiyan Tower to have fun, so why should you just go and kill people?
When you have questions, you naturally have guesses.
Some people say that it was because An Jingzhong and Cui Wendong were quarreling over the competition for Lady Rou in Cuiyan Tower. An argument broke out, and An Jingzhong drew his sword and killed people in anger.
Some people say that it was because An Jingzhong was arrogant and could not see Cui Wendong's unique style. Under his arrogance and domineering attitude, he wanted to intimidate Cui Wendong, but he never thought that Cui Wendong would not surrender, so the two fought fiercely, and An Jingzhong Cui Wendong was accidentally killed.
Some people even said that An Jingzhong was very bloodthirsty and had countless lives on his hands. Killing people was a common thing, but Cui Wendong was unlucky and died after encountering him.
There are many speculations, divergent opinions and endless discussions.
The news that An Jingzhong killed Cui Wendong of the Cui family spread throughout Changzhou City and even the military camp on the second day. When An Leiting learned about this, he was extremely surprised, "How could this happen? How could Zhong'er, a good person, go to Cuiyan Tower to have a drink? Why didn't he follow his attendants properly?"
“When I found Attendant Jing Zhong in my humble position, he was in the prison of Changzhou Prefecture.” Zhuo Dingsheng frowned and said, “It is said that after the young master sat down in the elegant room of Cuiyan Tower, he After being sent downstairs, he didn't dare to neglect. He only found a place to sit where he could see the young master's room. He didn't dare to drink. He only dared to drink tea to refresh himself all night."
"In the end, he drank tea. He had a lot, so he accidentally bumped into someone when he was going to the latrine. It turned out that the person was drunk, and he didn’t know where he dropped the money bag. He only said that it was Jing Zhong’s attendant who stole it. The two of them were noisy. Cuiyan Tower Afraid that something might happen, he asked the government official to come over. "
"The government official didn't listen to the excuse at all, and took them both to the government prison on the grounds that they were provoking trouble for no reason. After he sobered up, this attendant didn't know anything about what happened next. "
Lu Qiyan followed, "I have privately inquired about the people at Cuiyan Tower, saying that the young master has arrived in Cuiyan. After going to Yanlou, he kept drinking and got very drunk. He kept clamoring for Mrs. Rou from Cuiyanlou to come and accompany her. ”
"The steward of Cuiyan Tower, Mrs. Bai, repeatedly tried to persuade the young master, but the young master could not be quiet, which made the fifth young master Cui in the private room next door very tired, so he had a dispute with the young master."
"The young master was already very drunk. The Fifth Young Master Cui is also used to being arrogant and indulgent, and what he says is not pleasant to the ears. Only now does the Young Master ..."
"Zhifu Zhang from the government office has taken over the case. He has also interrogated the young master and interviewed all relevant people. He will probably be convicted soon. "
Conviction...
The laws of the Zhou Dynasty are strict, and murder must be punished with life.
If the other party had no identity, he could probably meet with the prefect Zhang for a while and sort things out. He could probably turn the matter into a provocation by the other party and take action first. An Jingzhong was just self-defense and made a mistake.
In this way, although An Jingzhong will still be punished by law, he can at least save his life and Anjia's reputation.
But the fifth son of the Cui family is dead now, and Magistrate Zhang will not dare to show any slights.
The Cui family will also put pressure on this matter because of their face, and make the crime more serious.
An Jingzhong, I’m afraid his life is in danger!
An Leiting's brows were furrowed and his expression was extremely gloomy.
He only has such a decent legitimate son, is he going to lose it now?
An Leiting was so irritated that he pushed all the tea cups on the table next to him to the ground.
A crisp sound and a mess.
Zhuo Dingsheng and Lu Qiyan looked at each other and sighed.
This kind of thing...
"What do you think we should do now?" An Leiting asked loudly, breathing heavily because of anger during the conversation.
Zhuo Dingsheng's heart was in a mess at this time, he just lowered his head and remained silent.
Lu Qiyan thought for a while and said, "It's probably not possible with Magistrate Zhang at the moment, and he doesn't dare to take on the matter. Considering his humble position, he can try to have a chat with the Cui family. "
"The third son of the Cui family is in charge of the overall situation of this matter at this time. If we can persuade the third son of Cui not to pursue the matter or even defend him, the matter can be suppressed quickly. " (End of chapter)
