Hanging is not the same as strangled corpses.The latter will have crossed rope marks on the back of the neck, and anyone who is strangled must have struggled violently before death, even if his neck was not caught by nails. The broken traces will definitely have other bruises on the body, which was clearly stated in the "Songs of Injustice" in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At an ordinary level, it is not difficult to distinguish between suicide and strangulation. It is enough to read the Injustices.
Tang Fan was not surprised by this result, because in his view, Mrs. Zhang of the Li family was a kind person with harmless personality. People of this character generally endured and obeyed, regarded secular etiquette as normal and subconsciously followed . Before the beautiful woman was brought back, Li Man already had two concubines, and she didn't see how Zhang's treats them. Even if she was angry and sad, she couldn't run to hang herself because of this.
It's possible to change the temperament to be extreme and extreme, or like Zheng Sun's, to start directly with her husband.
Therefore, the possibility of Zhang's suicide is not very high.
Since it was not a suicide, then the murderer must be sought, and the Li family can no longer rule this matter.
Tang Fan lives next door to the Li family, and Yu Qingli should go over to see it.
But this time he didn't go alone like in the morning, but ordered a few bureaucrats and other bureaucrats in the Yamen, and went to Dujiang along with the inspector.
Zhang's body was parked in the middle of the Lijia Hall, the county Cheng of Wanping County was with the master book, and there was also the work of the county.
Wanping County is directly under the Suncheon Mansion. They also knew Tang Fan. When Tang Fan came over, they all greeted them.
Tang Fan asked: "The two of you don't have to pay much courtesy, how are things going?"
Cheng Dao of Wanping County: "Li family said that that night no suspicious people were seen entering their mother's room. Only the two maids were vigil outside. Now that we have arrested them, adults can ask. ? "
Tang Fandao: "Where are they?"
The people in Wanping County sent the two over. Achun and Axia were both weak women. Someone was watching behind them, and there was no need to bind them, but their looks were sluggish, worse than when they saw it in the morning.
Wanping County Cheng briefly talked about the content of his cross-examination. In fact, the same content was asked by Tang Fan long ago, and it sounds nothing new at this time.
Li Man watched coldly for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said angrily: "Master Tang has succeeded in making such a mess in my house, but my heart is very proud? Since I can't find anything, why don't you let me wait first Humble Jingcao is doing funerals, so that she can go to earth as soon as possible! "
Wanping County Cheng shouted: "Xiaomin is impolite, and now that there is a murder, it is no longer your business. Zhang's body should be taken over by the government until the truth is revealed!"
Li Man sneered: "The insider was tragically dying, and I was deeply grieved, but it was just stopping me from doing funerals! What are you, my lords? This is a lie to my Li family, and I think my grandfather used to serve as a third-rank servant. There are still one or two old predecessors in China. If I sue for it, I am afraid that the adults will not be able to eat and walk away! "
Both Cheng Ping and Master in Wanping County were dissatisfied that a businessman dared to threaten them, but they were still uncertain whether Li Man said it was true or not, so they all looked up to Tang Pan. After all, among the three, Tang Pan ’s official position was the highest, naturally To be the only one who looks ahead.
Tang Fan chuckled: "I don't know which adult you are talking about, so I might as well listen to it, maybe the official just knows it too!"
Li Man paused and asked softly: "Adults and villains are not deliberately making trouble. It's just that the weather is hot and the corpses are not easy to store. The insider has helped me with housework for decades. There is no credit but hard work. The investigation is The affairs of the adults have nothing to do with the villains. I just hope that she can settle into the earth as soon as possible so as not to die under the Nine Springs. The dead are the big ones. This is what it should be. How many adults can understand? "
Before waiting for Tang Fan to answer, he said again: "The villain has an inner feeling, and he also asks Master Tang to borrow a step to speak."
Li Man looked at Tang Fan eagerly. The latter nodded: "Yes, lead the way."
Li Man brought Tang Fan to the next room, without a word, he knelt down with a thump!
"In fact, there are no hidden feelings about the death of Humble Jing, there is a paper here, please read it!"
He put on the folded paper in his hands.
Tang Fan took it, but he felt heavy in his hand. When I opened it again, there were dozens of silver tickets in the stack of white paper, some one hundred two, some fifty two. At least about two thousand two.
You need to know that one or two silver can buy rice with more than two stones at this time. Two thousand two is equivalent to rice that can buy more than four thousand stones. Officials of the second grade like Six Books still have sixty-one stones per month. .
But if there are poor people, there are rich people. For a successful businessman like Li Man, two thousand twos is not an unaffordable number. Before Feng Qingzi wanted to redeem himself, he had to take five thousand twos. It's not a lion's big opening. For a really rich person, five thousand twos is a small meaning.
But compared to the imperial court commander who is very low in salaries, these two thousand or two are really a huge number.
Tang Fan held a silver ticket and seemed to smile: "Why, do you want to pay a bribe?"
"Dare not dare!" Li Man hurriedly arched his hand. "I heard Lao Li say that the Li family has been taken care of by the Tang people for many years, and they are grateful for nothing at all, so they can't be respected.
Tang Fan weighed the silver ticket: "Do you hope this case will not be investigated?"
Li Man smiled bitterly: "The death of Humble Jing is also heartbroken underneath. The adults want to investigate the case, and they dare not intervene underneath. I just hope that our family can spend a few days and have a birthday. If several adults come to the door three days and two ends It ’s not just that funerals ca n’t be done, I ’m just afraid that those who are servants are also panicked and have no intention of doing things!

Tang Fan nodded and put the silver ticket in his arms: "What you mean, this officer understands."
Turn around and go out first.
When Li Man saw that he had accepted the bank note, he naturally knew that this was the case, and he couldn't help being overjoyed, he quickly followed.
However, they said that Tang Fan and the two returned to the hall, Wanping County Cheng and the master book greeted him, asking his opinion: "Sir, is this case still not investigated?"
Tang Fan asked strangely: "Check, why not check? Even the murderer is there, do you plan to let the real murderer go unpunished?"
Both Wanping County Cheng and the main book were surprised: "Where is the real murderer?"
Tang Fan pointed to Li Mandao: "Isn't this the real murderer?"
Without waiting for Li Man to speak, he shouted again: "Come here, tie him up!"
He took the people from Suncheon House, but he did n’t bother them. The Pharaoh heard Tang Fan ’s order, they immediately made a promise, strode forward, and dragged Li Man ’s hands back, and the rope was one. Wrapped up tightly.
"You! How dare you injustice a good person, Cao Sang's life, I want to sue you! I'm going to sue you!" Li Man didn't expect Tang Fan to turn his face when he turned his face, he was frightened and angry, and struggled desperately.
Tang Fan raised his eyebrows: "Injustice is a good person? It doesn't have to be that you have succeeded in making a wife. How can you be a good person? If you don't accept it, it's fine. Don't worry, and let me take care of you one by one."
He turned his head and asked A Chun: "Will the jade earrings I gave you that day be still there?"
A Chundao: "Yes, I put it back in my wife's makeup box."
Tang Fan: "You take it out."
A Chun should get up and take the entire makeup box: "Master Tang, it's in the last box."
Tang Fan opened the last box and found the lotus jade earrings inside.
He motioned to Achun to put down the box, and he felt an identical earring from his arms.
A Chun exclaimed: "Adult found another one?"
Tang Fan nodded and raised the jade earrings: "This other pendant was found under the bed in your wife's room."
Tang Fan asked: "On weekdays, you waited in your wife's house, but did you chase and play?"
A Chundao: "Naturally is unprecedented, although the wife is kind, but after all, the master and the servant are different. The rules are there. I can't wait to be arrogant."
Tang Fan asked again: "Then your wife may have the habit of dancing and dancing or going up for a night's sleep when you sleep."
A Chun replied: "That's even more uncomfortable. The wife's sleeping style can't be better. Sometimes she doesn't even turn over all night."
Tang Fandao: "I'll ask you again, you said earlier that in the middle of the night, you once went into the house to close the window, right?"
A Chundao: "Yes."
Tang Fan asked: "Did you go into the back room at that time?"
A Chundao: "No, I only closed the window outside, and Axia visited the back room."
Tang Fan asked Axia again: "So when you entered the back room, did you ever see anything unusual?"
Axia said: "No, no, at that time, his wife turned her back on me, covered with a quilt, and looked like she slept deeply, so I didn't go near to look at it, I was afraid to startle her."
Tang Fan asked: "Have you ever looked under the bed?"
Axia shook her head: "The bed is covered with bed sheets. Generally, it will only be opened to clean the bottom of the bed when cleaning."
Tang Fandao said: "A woman is sleeping in her boudoir, and she is sleeping very well, but she accidentally left the pendant next to the pillow. How can she fall to the bottom of the bed for no reason? There are only two This explanation, your wife ’s earrings, were not accidentally dropped by you, but in the process of being strangled by your neck, because the struggling was so intense that the pendant fell off the ear and fell to the ground, but was not killed by the murderer. Carefully kick to the bottom of the bed! "
A Chun looked pale: "Is the murderer under the bed?"
Tang Fan: "No, when you went in to close the window, the murderer just jumped off the window and escaped. If I guessed right, you were looking away from the window, but forgot to look at the trees under the window?"
A Chundao: "Yes, yes, at that time, I glanced into the garden and heard a cat cry, thinking that I had forgotten to close the window before, causing the wild cat to run in ..."
Li Man shouted: "My husband and I have been together for decades. I have a deep affection for her, and her virtue and virtue. Why should I kill her? You mediocre official, based on these vain guesses, decided me casually It ’s the murderer. I ’m going to sue the criminal department and Dali Temple to make a grievance.
Tang Fan said lightly: "Although you have been married to Zhang's for dozens of years, you were really fond of blunt bream, but because of the passage of time and the change from strong to weak, she began to regret the money she had spent for her family, gave up the imperial examination prospects, and married such a A wife who ca n’t bear a child, and a young and beautiful concubine encouraged her to take a break, and wanted to take her off and marry a new one. But because someone in the Zhang family is an official, you are afraid that the divorce of the wife will not be successful. So, if you do n’t do anything for two times, you will start to be strong and kill her, right? "
Li Man sneered: "No! Of course not! You spit on people! When Zhang's death, I was obviously in the field, and I rushed back today. Since I am not there, how to kill?"
Tang Fan looked at him coldly: "If you have the courage to do it, don't dare to admit it, don't you know it, the sole of your right foot has exposed you."
His statement attracted everyone to look at Li Man's shoes, even he could not help but bow his head to look down.
Pharaoh bent down and took off Li Man's right foot shoes, and handed it to Tang Fan.
Tang Fan turned his shoes over: "You're right, you did come back from the field, but you didn't come back today, you should be a few days in advance, in order to create evidence of absence, so as to avoid the wife's murder Suspected, but these shoes have betrayed you. "
Without waiting for Li Man to speak, he said again: "You are afraid to leave traces or footprints when sneaking home and killing people, and deliberately wiped the shoes clean in advance, but this is wrong! It's a long way to go, the soles should be dirty , Why are yours clean? Is it that you have rushed for so many days to get home, but you are not in a hurry to go home, but instead find a place to clean your shoes first ?! "
Tang Fan twitched slightly: "Also, when you jumped the window and escaped, you made a sound accidentally, and worried that A Chun and they went in to see that they were found and jumped the window in anxiety. As a result, the heel of the shoe was rubbed against the wall of the window sill. For a moment, I have seen the trace, and it is exactly the same as this one on your shoes! "
He threw his shoes on the ground, and the man sat on the chair, pointing at Zhang's coffin and saying, "Stop! In front of your wife, tell me why you should do this. She has been married to you for decades. Even if you ca n’t be born and raised, you ’re already doing your best. Not only do you do housework for you, you ca n’t help but accept your concubine and have children, and treat your son like yourself. Although the world has many restrictions on women, you can really be like you in the world. The wife's share is very small! "
Tang Fan's face sank, and he said sharply, "What are you unsatisfied with, you're going to kill your wife ?! Are you still human!"
Until now, it's useless to deny it. Li Manmu looked blankly, and after a long while, he finally said: "Do you think I want it? When she married me, she was eighteen, I was twenty, the two had the same temperament, and they raised their eyebrows. It's a good marriage that others can't envy. "
"At the age of thirty, her mother's family was in trouble and needed a lot of money, but her family of three brothers and sisters, but none of them can rely on it. At that time, I was still studying hard in the cold window, and the savings in my family were all ancestors. Overcoming difficulties, I sold my family property with my teeth and gave her the money, but I had to give up the imperial examination for this purpose and use the remaining savings as capital to change to business, which gradually made my family's life better. "
"At this time, the two of us have been married for ten years, but we still have no children under our knees. At my repeated requests, Zhang's only agreed to accept the concubine. Now Li Lin is like this. I go out to do business and often need to be with people. In social communication, Zhang's illiterate, unable to follow me out, she looks virtuous, in fact, the two concubines she paid me are either unsophisticated, or as unsavory as her, but only my present The concubine Chen, gentle and virtuous, does not speak, and has long sleeves and good dancing. When I am busy with business, I can also help me socialize with the officials and businessmen. There have been a few big deals recently, and all of her credit is indispensable. "
