Xu Boming's voice was filled with a natural majesty.
His father, Xu Yong, was once the most outstanding judge of the Great Zhou.
Xu Boming naturally inherited his father's legacy.
"The case file is complicated. In order to save time and let you all understand the case more clearly, I have already summarized the case file.”
Xu Boming took the case file and began to describe the specific case.
"Five years ago, Courtesan Belle Qin Huailian's name shook Luoyang. She became a famous female character that many local officials and nobles, as well as scholars, flocked to.”
"Some court officials would even conceal their identities and go to brothels to watch Qin Huailian's talent and grace. Our Lord Lu Qingfeng and our Imperial Chancellor Shen Zongyi are among them.”
" Ever since he witnessed Qin Huailian's talent and elegance, Lu Qingfeng has been unable to forget her. However, due to the difference in status, Lu Qingfeng did not even have the chance to meet Qin Huailian in private. That's why Lu Qingfeng has always been unhappy about this matter.“
" One day, Lu Qingfeng and Shen Zongyi were drinking at the Orchid Garden and recounting the incident. When the owner of the Orchid Garden learned of it, he began to come up with a plan for Lu Qingfeng and Shen Zongyi. The owner of the Orchid Garden personally invited Qin Huailian into the Orchid Garden as a guest.“
"At that time, the Orchid Garden was quite famous in Luoyang. There were often entertainers and courtesans who came here to perform. Those entertainers and courtesans would usually be proud of being invited to the Orchid Garden to perform. Although Qin Huailian was already quite famous, she was invited by the owner of the Orchid Garden at that time, so she naturally had no reason to refuse.“
" After that, Qin Huailian was invited to enter the Orchid Garden. However, after entering the Orchid Garden that day, Qin Huailian realized that the place was very deserted. There were only four people in the seats. They were Shen Zongyi, Gu Che, Sikong Shu, and Lu Qingfeng.“
" At that time, Qin Huailian felt that something was amiss. However, the owner of the Orchid Garden told Qin Huailian about their identities. After learning that the four of them were officials of the imperial court, Qin Huailian naturally did not dare to disobey. After the performance, under the warm invitation of the owner of the Orchid Garden, Qin Huailian had no choice but to drink with them.“
" However, after drinking for less than an hour, Qin Huailian passed out. The owner of Orchid Garden had already drugged the wine. The purpose of the trap that day was to let Shen Zongyi, Gu Che, Sikong Shu, and Lu Qingfeng kiss the beauty of this courtesan.“
At this point, Xu Boming sighed softly, as if he was also sad about what happened to Qin Huailian.
" After drugging Qin Huailian, the four of them took turns to possess her. However, this was not the final outcome. When Qin Huailian woke up, she realized that she was being raped in turns. She burst into tears on the spot. Although she was in a brothel, she had always been selling her skills and not her body. However, the owner of Orchid Garden and the four beastly officials in front of her took turns to threaten Qin Huailian.”
" This caused the weak Qin Huailian to have no choice but to compromise. After she was sent back, Qin Huailian was determined to report this matter to the capital prefecture. One day, Qin Huailian secretly went to the capital prefecture. However, she did not know that during that period of time, the owner of Orchid Garden had actually planted spies beside her.”
" The result was obvious. Before Qin Huailian could reach the gates of the capital's capital, she was kidnapped back to the Orchid Gardens by the spies sent by the owner of the Orchid Gardens. When these four beasts learned of this, they were furious. At the same time, their beastly nature was unleashed. On the same day, they tortured Qin Huailian inhumanely.”
"None of you can imagine how these four beasts tortured and abused women. I will show you a few things, and I think you will understand.“
After saying that, Xu Boming made a hand gesture to the interrogation officer behind him.
The interrogation officer presented a few weapons.
These weapons included silver needles, chili water, iron pestles, whips, candles, and a series of other items that made one's scalp tingle.
Xu Boming said again," These weapons used to abuse women were found in Shen Zongyi, Gu Che, and Sikong Shu's homes. Back then, there should have been more weapons in the Orchid Garden than in their homes. It's just that before the incident, the owner of the Orchid Garden had already dealt with all of them, so they can't be found now."“
Hearing this, everyone had a general understanding of the cause and process of the Orchid Garden Hidden Corpse Case.
After Xu Boming presented the weapon, he continued,
" That day, after the four beasts had tortured Qin Huailian inhumanely, they threatened the dying Qin Huailian once again. However, Qin Huailian had long since seen through life and death. In the final threat, not only did she not submit to them, she even stabbed Lu Qingfeng's arm with the pearl hairpin on her head.“
" It was because of Qin Huailian's actions that Lu Qingfeng, who had gone berserk at that time, casually picked up the blunt weapon behind him and hit Qin Huailian on the head, ultimately killing her.“
" When Qin Huailian died, there were several women in Orchid Garden present. After some discussion, Lu Qingfeng and the others decided to go all out and kill all the women. Those women were usually just toys to them, so their lives were worthless.“
" Lu Qingfeng bore a grudge against the wound on Qin Huailian's arm before she died. At that time, he even personally dismembered Qin Huailian's body. After that, a total of twelve women and Qin Huailian's body were buried in the backyard of the Orchid Garden.“
" After a period of time, the news of Qin Huailian's mysterious disappearance began to spread throughout Luoyang. At that time, in order to hide it from the public, the owner of Orchid Garden hired people to spread the news that Qin Huailian was tired of living a romantic life and had left Luoyang. Over time, this news was confirmed.“
"Later on, Lu Qingfeng and the other three discussed. In order to let this matter sink completely, they instructed the owner of the Orchid Garden to create the illusion that the Orchid Garden was in trouble and then shut it down.“
At this point, everyone had a general understanding of the case.
Lee Xiangjun asked Xu Boming in confusion,""According to what you said just now, the previous governor of the capital, Du Ruhui, was not involved in the case back then. Why did he become a criminal?“
