Chapter 377 Mother's Love is the Murderer

Wei thought for a while before saying, "In the afternoon..."

"You are lying. Cuihuan has been in Pengjiazhuang that afternoon and has never left."

That afternoon, Song Yun'er kept soaking mushrooms in Shui Wanqi's place, looking for the incident where Shui Wanqi smashed Peng Si's head with an inkstone. Cuihuan was Shui Wanqi's close maid and had never left. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi concluded that Wei was lying.

Wei said in a panic: "I remembered it wrongly, it's... it's night."

“When is the evening?”

"About...it's about the first day"

This time, Song Yuner couldn't help but say, "Nonsense! At the beginning of the day, Cuihuan was also in Pengjiazhuang and had never left! I saw it with my own eyes." Song Yuner visited Shui Wanqi's bedroom that night and saw Shui Wanqi giving Cuihuan a Nine Yin White Bone Claw on her face.

Wei was even more panicked and hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Yang Qiuchi observed his expression and understood that there must be a hidden story inside. Moreover, he had guessed a rough idea, but on the surface he was silent, and he was not in a hurry to chase and fight around. He bypassed the topic and said, "What did you eavesdrop on?"

Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard them say that Cuihuan would take Young Master Peng out the next day."

Yang Qiuchi said: "What did they kidnap Mr. Peng for? To get the ransom?"

"No, they... they want..." Wei said here, slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Yang Qiuchi, and asked again: "Master, this matter is really important. Let me tell you, can you really spare my son's life?"

Yang Qiuchi has already thought about this issue.

If Shui Guzi hit Peng Si with a stone, he would use modern criminal law to sentence him. It is intentional injury to cause death, and there are many causes and consequences. He only bears most of the responsibility rather than all. In addition, there are causes and motivations, and there are minors who are statutory lenient and reduce the punishment, so it would be good to sentence a few years of imprisonment.

In ancient times, rape was sentenced to hanging. Modern criminal law punished rape much lighter than in ancient times. Generally, it was only sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, only gang rape, rape caused serious injury and death, etc., and only gang rape was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than ten years, life imprisonment or death.

Therefore, according to the modern criminal law, from the point of view of the crimes committed, Shui Guzi cannot be sentenced to death. In addition, he is a minor and cannot be sentenced to death according to law. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi, who has been deeply educated by modern criminal law, was in his heart. Even if Wei did not make meritorious contributions, he did not intend to sentence Shui Guzi to death.

However, Yang Qiuchi had already discovered that Wei must have overheard some major secret. He wanted to use the fact that Wei was worried that Shui Guzi would be sentenced to death to force Wei to tell the secret.

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "I have already made a guarantee just now. As long as the clues you provide can be found in the young master of the Peng family, I will save your son's life."

The clan made up his mind and said something softly.

After hearing this, Yang Qiuchi was shocked and looked at each other with Song Yuner, all of whom were very shocked.

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Do you know where Old Man Long and Cui Huan detained the young master of the Peng family?"

"It's in Lichun Garden!"

"In Lichun Garden? Where?"

"I don't know exactly. I just heard the two of them say that they were hiding in Lichun Garden after the kidnapping."

Yang Qiuchi's head turned around and he understood why he had to hide in Lichun Garden. The most dangerous place was often the safest. The Cuihuan disappeared out of thin air. If she left Enyang Town, someone would definitely notice it, so she and Young Master Peng were hiding in Lichun Garden. Lichun Garden was very large and was the largest brothel in Enyang Town. Old Man Long was also the guardian inside, so it was easy to hide two people.

Of course, in order to prevent Mr. Peng from shouting, they must have fascinated him with medicines such as Sumamoto.

Since he knew the goal, it would be easy. Yang Qiuchi called Nangong Xiong in and went to the inner room to mutter for a long time before Nangong Xiong left hurriedly.

Yang Qiuchi returned to the outer room and sat down on the stool.

Wei kowtowed and said, "I have already told you about the big conspiracy I have heard, and beg the master to spare my son's life as promised."

Yang Qiuchi was thinking about the big conspiracy that Wei had just said. After hearing her words, he casually said: "It depends on your performance."

Wei's face turned red, wiped the blood from his forehead, and secretly glanced at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised that Wei blushed. Then he thought about it, and then he realized that what he said just now was a little awkward. He seemed to have grabbed someone's handle and wanted to be terrified of Wei. He quickly coughed and explained: "I mean, it depends on whether you can explain clearly when and where you eavesdropped on this big conspiracy."

Wei thought that this matter had been hidden, but he didn't expect it to be just a trial strategy of Yang Qiuchi. Now, hearing that he picked up the topic just now, his heart suddenly became cold and he stammered: "I...I..."

"It seems that you have a bad memory," Yang Qiuchi smiled coldly: "I'll tell you, you eavesdropped on Cuihuan and Long Lao during the fifth update.

The conversation of the head, right?"

After hearing Yang Qiuchi's words, Wei's face was no longer covered with blood and he looked at Yang Qiuchi in horror. Yang Qiuchi had seen such gazes. When the crime was about to be revealed, the criminal was exposed.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "You must be very surprised how I knew, because I have found out that Cuihuan only visited Lichunyuan at the fifth evening. Since you eavesdropped on her conversation with Old Man Long, it is naturally that time."

Seeing that the lie had been exposed, Wei whispered: "It's...it's the fifth update, it's the civilian woman who remembered it wrongly."

"What are you doing in Lichun Garden late at night?"

"I...I..." Wei obviously didn't think about this issue carefully about how to make up lies and hesitated and couldn't speak.

"If you can't remember this question, then answer another question from me first: Where did you eavesdrop on their conversation in Lichun Garden?"

Wei was even more panicked, his body was already trembling slightly, biting his lips and not speaking.

Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "What? Have you forgotten this question? Then I'll remind you, that you were talking to them in Chunhong's room at 5 o'clock that night, right?"

Wei was weak all over and fell to the ground.

Yang Qiuchi said again: "Miss Chunhong was killed at the fifth anniversary. When Cuihuan came, Chunhong was dead. So Cuihuan stepped on the blood flowing on Chunhong on the floor. At that time, you were already in the room, so you had the chance to overhear the conversation they had after they found Chunhong dead. Am I right?"

Wei bit his lip tightly, as if only in this way could he stop confessing.

Yang Qiuchi did not pursue her and instead talked about another topic: "When I interrogated your son Shui Guzi, I realized that Miss Chunhong and your son were childhood sweethearts. When your son asked you to ask a matchmaker to propose to their house, there was an accident in her family and her father was forced to sell her to a brothel. Your son was thinking about her wholeheartedly, but you didn't want his son to marry a prostitute as his wife, but your son focused on Miss Chunhong, and even secretly fled to Enyang Town. He worked as a slave for Pengjiazhuang to make money and redeem her for Miss Chunhong."

Song Yun'er didn't know why Yang Qiuchi was halfway through the question, but suddenly talked about this matter and looked at him in confusion.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "Your son is your entire hope. You try every means to stop your son from getting along with Miss Chunhong, but your son is in love and can't even pull back the five horses. You must have thought of many ways but failed. Only then did you make up your mind that only by killing Chunhong can you stop your son's idea."

"Ah!" Song Yuner exclaimed. "Is Chunhong she killed?"

Wei still bit his lips tightly, without saying a word.

Yang Qiuchi nodded and then said to Wei, "I don't know when this idea came into being. I heard your son say you went to Lichun Garden to get a job of washing clothes. At that time, I was a little surprised. You don't want your son to marry a prostitute. Even if this woman is your son's childhood sweetheart, it can be seen that you are very disgusted with prostitutes. Therefore, you should rather starve to death than go to Lichun Garden to get a job of washing clothes. But you violated the rules. There is only one explanation - you have another purpose in going to Lichun Garden."

Song Yuner also understood: "Chunhong is the famous courtesan of Lichun Garden. If she wants to kill Chunhong, it is difficult for her to have a chance, so she went to Lichun Garden to find opportunities."

"That's right," Yang Qiuchi nodded, staring at Wei, who was trembling, and said, "That day your son came to Lichunyuan to find you, and he also took this opportunity to secretly find Miss Chunhong to speak. My son's obsession made you finally decide to start. As for how you avoided my subordinates' searches, hid in Lichunyuan and finally killed Miss Chunhong, I'm not sure."

Wei still bit his lips tightly, stared at the ground, and said nothing.

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "You have no choice but to love, because your son is your only hope. I have now begun to slowly understand the kind of care a mother has for her children."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi thought of Liu Ruobing, Qin Zhihui and Song Qing. They were all pregnant with their own children. The so-called raising children only reveals their parents’ kindness. When their next generation is about to come to this world, Yang Qiuchi began to slowly understand the love of their parents for their children and understand every care they had for their children.

Wei slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Qiuchi. His plump body was trembling slightly, and his eyes gradually became crystal clear.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Although you don't speak, I can be sure that you killed Miss Chunhong. I didn't know it at first, but I knew it after seeing you."

Wei looked at Yang Qiuchi in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about.
