Chapter Fifty-Six: Torture and Killing
An hour later, Huo Lianjue and Ye caught the head, and Master Wang walked out with a pale face. After all www.biquge.info it was not a pleasant thing to witness the old man dissecting three half-decomposed corpses.
Hua Lianyue, who was already impatiently waiting, hurriedly greeted her, held the broken bowl like a treasure, and said with great interest: "I found some iron filings from the cracks in the sack, it seems that the kid surnamed Wei can't get out of the relationship." ”
Huo Lianjue took it and only looked at it, then handed it to Ye Zhutou, and said casually: "Got it!" His voice was mellow and pleasant, but with obvious exhaustion, he didn't have the excitement he should have after discovering the clue.
Hua Lianyue never expected him to have this attitude, and instinctively felt that it was wrong.
So on the way back to the Yamen, she pulled Master Wang and asked in a low voice: "Master, what did you find?"
Master Wang touched his goat's whiskers and said with a wry smile: "I just broke open their intestines and found melon seeds and braised beef that had not been fully digested, which confirmed that they should have been together before they died, and they would be killed together after meeting the murderer." ”
It is estimated that because of the erosion of the water at the bottom of the lake, the sack that held Zhou Tianhe was washed away and his body was brought into the river. And because the bodies of Wang Shengrong and Ma Cailiang were tied together, they could only float slowly, so they did not enter the river for a long time. ”
Hua Lianyue frowned and said thoughtfully: "I also guessed these." ”
Master Wang nodded and continued: "These are not the point, the point is that Zhou Tianhe and Ma Cailiang were both smashed in the head by the stone and killed instantly. But Wang Shengrong was tortured before he died, not only his lower body was covered with whip marks, but also his hands and feet were broken, and his tongue was broken. Even the man's object was cut with a knife, and there was not even an egg left. ”
Master Wang's slightly vulgar words made Hua Lianyue feel excited, and she muttered, "What a big hatred this should be! ”
Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Could it be that the murderer is actually coming for Wang Shengrong, and the deaths of Zhou Tianhe and Ma Cailiang are just convenient?"
Master Wang smiled bitterly: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”
This time, even Hua Lianyue had to lament, if this was the case, wouldn't all the investigations done on Zhou Tianhe before be in vain. No wonder Huo Lianjue saw those iron filings, but he didn't mean to be happy at all.
Because if the person targeted by the murderer was only Wang Shengrong, then Wei Hongguang would have no motive to kill. Those iron filings don't mean anything, after all, there is more than one blacksmith shop in Meiling County, surnamed Wei.
At night, the county government is very lively.
Wang Shengrong, Ma Cailiang is not as good as Zhou Tianhe, they are rich and powerful, and naturally they also have people.
Many people from both families came, not only crying endlessly in the county office, but also burning paper in Yizhuang to ask Taoist priests to summon spirits, making a fussy miasma.
Mrs. Ma is a woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a fat face and a fat waist. With unkempt hair and swollen eyes, she sat cross-legged in the open space of the county hall without any scruples, patting her thighs and crying with a big mouth.
"My old thief, who killed you by God! If you have a spirit in heaven, you must tell me a message in your dreams. I'm going to avenge you by dismantling him, but it hurts me to death, woo woo ......"
There are still a few men around her, don't look at them all five big and three thick, but they all have gloomy faces, and their fists are clenched.
Huo Lianjue was surrounded by an old couple wearing splendid ayaluo. They clung to Huo Lianjue tightly in tears, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, you have to catch the murderer quickly and avenge our family!"
Huo Lianjue's official uniform was torn apart, and he had to be patient and comforted: "This official will definitely not let go of this murderer, and the old man should take care of his body more!"
At this moment, there was a cry in the distance. A young woman with a hairpin ring and a pearl was supported by a little maid and stumbled over: "My husband, you are gone, what should I do!"
The people who gathered outside the county government to watch the excitement gave way one after another, and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this Widow Sun on West Street, didn't the one in her family leave a long time ago, and at this time she ran to the yamen to cry what husband and gentleman?"
Someone gloated and said: "What widow Sun, she has already been accepted by Ma Cailiang, otherwise where would she come from this ayaluo." ”
"Hey, isn't she a broom star for Kefu?"
“......”
In the midst of different opinions, Widow Sun had stumbled into the county office. She pounced on, grabbed Huo Lianjue's sleeve, and cried bitterly: "My lord, where is the husband of the slave family?"
Huo Lianjue saw that there was another person looking for a husband, and his head was as big as a fight in an instant, but he still had to ask patiently: "This sister-in-law, who is your husband?"
Widow Sun raised a pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, and sobbed: "The husband of the slave family is Ma Cailiang!"
Huo Lianjue said in surprise: "Ma Cailiang is your husband?" His gaze moved suspiciously to Mrs. Ma, who had stopped crying and had a fierce look in her eyes.
Widow Sun's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Huo Lianjue pitifully. Before she could open her mouth to say anything, Mrs. Ma had already jumped up and came behind her with murderous vigour.
She grabbed the bun of Widow Sun's Zhucui hair without pity, and scolded angrily: "Okay, you little slut, the old lady hasn't gone to look for you yet." You still dare to come to the yamen to find your husband, you can't die as a mother. She slapped her two hands mercilessly, and Widow Sun's still charming cheeks immediately became red and swollen.
Widow Sun screamed in pain, and while protecting her hair bun, she stretched out her sharp-trimmed fingers, desperately trying to grab Mrs. Ma's face. I heard her terrible howl: "You poisonous woman, if it weren't for your vicious nature, how could my husband dare to raise me in the outer room......"
When she mentioned this, Widow Sun's eyes were full of hatred. She has already bent on flattery, and has carefully served Ma Cailiang for two years, just asking for someone to enter the Ma Mansion to be a little concubine. But because of Mrs. Ma's strong obstruction, he was unable to officially enter the door.
Originally, under the soft grinding and hard bubble of Widow Sun, Ma Cailiang had promised to take her in the next year, but now that he is dead, all the rich days in front of her have come to naught.
Widow Sun doesn't look delicate and weak on the outside, but she is dark and vicious. Although Mrs. Ma, who had a big waist and a round waist, beat her to a blue nose and swollen face, her nails comparable to sharp knives mercilessly scratched Mrs. Ma's fat face.
The few men brought by Mrs. Ma gathered around the two, but they didn't know who to help. After all, whether it's the eldest sister-in-law or the younger sister-in-law, it's all sister-in-law, isn't it......
The entire yamen hall suddenly fell into chaos, and Hua Lianyue happened to see this situation when she came out of the inner courtyard. Her feet shrank as soon as she stepped on the threshold, trying to slip away.
Huo Lianjue, who was in the center of the whirlpool, glared at her fiercely, she had to touch her nose and stand still, and ordered the big and small pairs behind her: "Go, pull those two women away." ”
The two women went crazy, and their strength was no less than that of men. During the tearing, their clothes were torn, their hair buns were messy, and the pearls on Widow Sun's head fell to the ground. Big Shuang, Little Shuang took a lot of effort to restrain them.
Widow Sun's sleeve was torn in half, revealing a pink arm with several lash marks crisscrossing it. She hurriedly pulled at the torn sleeves of her clothes and tried to cover her arms, but unfortunately those old whip marks had already made those who care about it look at them.
