Volume 1 Zhangqiao Iron Coffin Chapter 2: Unreasonable Reasoning (Part 1)
Even though Xu Zun's clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy, his loud shout stilled the excited crowd and made the boiling bedroom quiet in an instant.
But Xu Zun was standing with his head held high, looking domineering and extremely arrogant.
After all, he was an official appointed by the imperial court and his official authority was still there.
What's more, he was now covered in blood, which was intimidating.
"Humph, you are a bunch of brainless idiots," Xu Zun scolded without any sense of guilt, "Do you want to rebel?"
"this……"
Everyone was surprised to see Xu Zun being so arrogant, and no one dared to stand up and argue with him.
"You dog official...you raped my wife and killed her, don't you deserve to die?" At this moment, only You Dalang was still accusing in grief and anger.
"Yes!" Everyone finally came to their senses. The old man said sternly, "You raped women and took human lives. As a senior official, don't you..."
"I'm going to bully you, you big head ghost!" Unexpectedly, the old man was met with ruthless attacks from Xu Zun before he could finish his words.
"this……"
Everyone was stunned again. No one had ever seen such a brutal and cruel person.
"Let me ask you," Xu Zun asked the crowd as he pulled up his pants, "Which eye of yours saw me raping women, and which eye of yours saw me taking human lives?"
"You...you..." The old man trembled and said angrily, "You are disheveled, holding a weapon, covered in blood, and the body of the You family's wife is lying here. Do you still need to look at this?!"
"That's right," the crowd finally got excited, and someone echoed, "As a county lieutenant, you know the law but break it, and you've committed many evil things. Why don't you admit your guilt and accept your punishment?"
"I'll give you thirty-six slaps in the face!" Unexpectedly, Xu Zun still shouted arrogantly, "I tell you, don't make random guesses if you haven't seen it with your own eyes! Can't you see that I was actually framed!?"
"What? Framed?" Everyone was stunned at first, and soon someone refuted, "You are the only one here, who could frame you?"
"Who could have framed me? Good!" Xu Zun pointed at You Dalang, "Manager You, tell us what happened now, and see if I was framed or not."
"What? What happened?" You Dalang was slightly stunned. After understanding it, he said, "What happened is..."
“You suddenly came to my house this afternoon and asked my wife to serve you in the bedroom!
"I can't beat you, so I have to tell my friends to go outside and call for help from the neighbors, so that everyone can stop your evil deeds together!
"But I didn't expect..." You Dalang cried as he looked at the corpse, "When I came back with the neighbors, my wife had already been killed by you. My Chunniang, you died so tragically..."
You Dalang burst into tears.
"You bastard official, you still dare to deny it?" someone shouted, "You still dare to say that you didn't rape women and take human lives?"
"That's right," said a clerk from a silk shop behind him, "We all saw it. The kitchen knife was in your hand just now. If it wasn't you who killed the boss lady, who else could it be?"
No way?
Suddenly, Xu Zun was shocked.
In his memory, he clearly saw Chun Niang flirting with him in all kinds of charming ways. It was clearly a mutual agreement, and there was no intention of forcing a woman to be taken advantage of.
This...what is going on?
Why?
Suddenly, Xu Zun discovered another important detail, that is, the place where he interacted with Chun Niang in his mind was not this room today.
In other words, those images are memories from long ago, not today.
So... this can only prove that Chunniang and I did have an affair, but it doesn't mean that I am a murderer, right?
It seems that this is really a conspiracy and I am being framed!
But who framed me?
"How is it? The dog official has nothing to say, right?" You Dalang gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you surrender on the spot?"
"Humph!" Xu Zun glared at You Dalang and said, "Your height reminds me of a senior with the same name as you but a different surname! You two also have another thing in common, which is that you both have a little green head!"
"Ah? What?" You Dalang obviously didn't understand.
"Let me ask you!" Xu Zun suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "If I wanted to take your wife by force, why didn't you bring more people with you? You have so many guys in your silk shop, they can easily stop me, why did you go outside to call for help?"
"Ah? What?" You Dalang was stunned again and quickly explained, "You are the county lieutenant, who dares to touch you? I can only call the neighbors over to denounce you together!"
" Interesting! Very interesting! Hahaha..." Xu Zun laughed with his head raised, "How sick am I!?"
"I came to your silk shop in broad daylight, all by myself, and forced the lady boss to serve me?
"Then, not only did I rape her, I also killed her!
“Finally, I’m holding a kitchen knife, waiting here for you to beat me to death!?
"Everyone," Xu Zun glanced at everyone, "Don't you think this is too stupid?"
"this……"
"Um……"
Xu Zun's words immediately made everyone fall into deep thought, and they obviously realized that this matter was a bit unsatisfactory.
"Humph! As a county lieutenant, I have handled so many cases and know so many tricks." Xu Zun pointed at the corpse and said, "If I like Chunniang and really want to possess her, then there are at least 100 safe ways to conceal it. How could I do such a ridiculous thing?
"In other words, if I really wanted to kill her, there are 100 ways to do it without anyone noticing. How could I do it in such an insulting way?"
"this……"
"Yes……"
After Xu Zun said this, everyone suddenly understood. Not only did their anger subside, but they became more curious.
On weekdays, although the county lieutenant Xu Zun was confused and not very smart, he had never done anything to bully men or women, let alone kill people.
"It's so unfair! It's so unfair!!!" At this time, You Dalang cried out to the sky, "It was you who raped and killed my wife, and you still dare to make excuses!
"Neighbors, don't listen to his sophistry! Look at him, his clothes are disheveled, he's covered in blood, and he's holding a weapon. Who else could it be if he didn't kill Chun Niang?!"
"Yes, yes," one of the guys said, "The corrupt official killed someone. This is already a foregone conclusion. What are you still trying to deny?"
"That's right," the old man said, "Xu County Lieutenant, since you said you were framed, then you have to find the person who framed you? Who framed you and why did they frame you?"
"Nonsense! I still want to know! But..." Xu Zun glanced at everyone and said, "I have some clues now. If you let me take a good look at the crime scene, maybe I can find this person!"
After saying that, he suddenly jumped off the bed, scaring everyone.
Then, under everyone's surprised gaze, he began to observe the environment inside the house on his own.
No one could have imagined that at this time, Xu Zun still had the mind to observe the crime scene. They all stared at each other in amazement for a moment.
As he looked at it, Xu Zun set his eyes on the corpse and examined Chunniang's body carefully.
Chunniang died tragically on the bed. Her clothes were disheveled and her body was exposed, which was already indecent. However, Xu Zun not only stared at her, but also reached out to lift up Chunniang's underwear.
“Ah!!?” You Dalang was very anxious and rushed forward to stop him, “You dog official is really going too far! You have killed my wife, and now you are insulting her in public! You…you…”
"That's too much! That's too much! The corrupt officials are going too far!"
"Kill this dog official!"
"Beat him to death!"
"Tear him up, tear him up and feed him to the dogs..."
The crowd, which had originally calmed down, was once again ignited with anger and began to rebuke Xu Zun and roll up their sleeves.
"You bastard!" You Dalang was furious and immediately raised his hoe. "You are clearly stalling for time. Killing someone means paying with your life. I will fight you today!!!"
After saying that, You Dalang smashed down hard on Xu Zun's head!
call!
The hoe blew in the wind and everyone exclaimed.
However, before the hoe hit the target, Xu Zun grabbed it with one hand, and no matter how hard You Dalang tried, he could not move.
"Humph!" At this time, Xu Zun snorted coldly, stared at You Dalang and said, "Okay! Now, I already know who the person who framed me is!!!"
