Chapter 10 Plain is True
For some reason, Zhao Jiu seemed to have returned to the day of Xiaoba's death, wilting for two days, and frightened Xiuniang. Poor Xiuniang burned incense and worshiped the Bodhisattva, except for boiling water and cooking, she didn't leave the two children, and on the third day, Zhao Jiu finally got better. Xu was infected by Zhao Jiu, and Wang Kangping also got better. The two children were hungry for a few days, but they only drank a bowl of gruel together, and Xiuniang cried and laughed, and worshiped all the bodhisattvas she could think of in the courtyard. Zhao Jiu sat under the eaves and smiled like a little lamb.
Zhao Jiu and Wang Kangping returned to the class room to resume their duties after they recovered from their illnesses, but Wang Zhutou transferred the two of them away, along with the county master's brother-in-law. Since the initiation of the case, Wang Zhutou has not returned to the house, and his person is not in the county office, but in the Chen family. Because Chen's brother also had to be mourned, Wang Zhutou guaranteed that he would be allowed to go home for the funeral first. Chen Gong's brother was injured in the leg, and the county magistrate intuitively felt that he had something to do with the suspect, and the doctor was not allowed to treat his injuries. This incident was indeed a coincidence, but the neighbors of Chen Gong's brother all confirmed that Chen Gong's brother had broken his leg two days before his arrival.
Nanyang City from the fast and the work of the work is also very conscientious, through the two places to catch fast and work together, can roughly determine the cause of the Chen family tragedy. Chen Gong brought money and money every time he went out to buy, and on the day of the incident, he originally planned to go out, but because he learned that his brother's leg was broken, he delayed, so Chen Gong put the money at home and waited until he visited his brother before going out. The person who did it should know that there was money in the Chen family's house, and knew that Chen Gong was not there, so he climbed into the Chen family at night to steal. This person sneaked into the north house and was discovered by Chen, who brutally murdered Chen and his two-year-old child when he failed to commit theft. Chen Gong's daughter came out to check when she heard the sound, and when she saw the tragic situation of the North House, she ran out and was cut to the ground by the man, but she did not die immediately. The old man in the east house heard the movement of the north house, and came out to help with a hoe, but he was also cut to the ground by this person, but the daughter of Chen Gong was gone. The prisoner chased the bloodstains to the hall, killed the daughter of Chen Gong completely, searched the money in the house, and climbed out of the wall.
However, there is a puzzle in this matter, since it is enough to burglary and steal money, why do you have to kill people?
Because of Chen Gong's nocturia, Chen turned on the lamp, and the prisoner slipped into the north house at this time. If it was a living person, the Chen family would definitely scream, but the Chen family did not shout loudly, and the Chen family's neighbors did not hear someone in the Chen family shouting for help, could it be that the person was a person familiar to the Chen family?
In order to avoid the incident, the criminal had murderous intentions, if it wasn't for that, why would he be so vicious to Gong Chen's family?
From the occurrence of the case to sorting out the above cases, the time has come to the limit given by the county magistrate. This case is serious, the prefect and the governor have learned that the county magistrate did not dare to pronounce the sentence easily, and then forgave three more limits, but also punished Wang Zhutou and several old arresters. It happened that the county master's brother-in-law complained in the class room that he was always sent to deal with the trivial matter of stealing chickens and dogs, which made the crowd even more angry.
Since the accident in the Chen family, there has been no stop in the class, and several catchers have not returned to their houses for many days, just like Wang Zhutou. Xiuniang sent the food and clothes to the yamen, and when she saw Wang Zhutou's thin and haggard appearance, she cried on the spot, and Wang Zhutou drove her back in a daze and did not let Xiuniang come again.
Heavy snow fell silently in the night, covering not only the earth, but also the smell of blood in the Chen family. Wang Zhutou led people to interrogate all the neighbors of the Chen family, and found no doubts or abnormalities, so worried that a lot of gray hair was added to his sideburns. Zhao Jiu is very sensible, and tries his best to share family and official affairs for Wang Zhutou, and Wang Kangping is also busy and accompanies his mother when he is free. Although the stove smokes every day, the Wang family is still deserted.
The snow has been falling for several days, and it is difficult for people to go out, and the Chen family's bloody case is even more confusing. The limit has arrived, Wang Zhutou failed to solve the case, was beaten by the county master, and limped back to his own home with his waist, so angry that Xiuniang scolded the county master for being loyal and good.
The county magistrate did not find evidence of the crimes of Chen's brother and Chen's brother, and finally released the two before the New Year's pass. Chen Gong was already stupid, and Chen Gong's brother took him back to his old house to take care of it, and the good family was separated from yin and yang, which was regrettable.
Wang Zhutou was injured on the buttocks, but the family was reunited, Xiuniang arranged a large table of good dishes, and even Zhao Jiu changed into new clothes, and the four of them spent a reunion together. The snow is very heavy this year, Wang Kangping and Zhao Jiutong also built two snowmen in their hearts, the two are not brothers but they are like brothers, Wang Zhutou is really relieved to look at it. Zhao Jiu's martial arts have also made visible progress, he followed the key to squatting and re-practiced the martial arts given to him by Mr. Qin, at first it was a little difficult, but after persisting for more than a month, he felt that it was more smooth than before, and he was overjoyed.
In the spring, the Chen family's bloody case still has to be solved, big and small cases are piling up, and Wang Zhutou is very busy. Half a year after entering the yamen, Zhao Jiu actually solved two small cases, and he had a small reputation in the class room, but he annoyed the county master's brother-in-law.
Zhao Jiu inadvertently mentioned a sentence, Wang Zhutou said to him, Jin Zhutou eats the emperor's grain, and he is a person who really hangs his head on his waist. Only then did Zhao Jiu understand why Governor Wu did not dare to order the pursuit when Jin Zhukuai took him away from Jingyang City, presumably Governor Wu understood Jin Catcher's identity.
The brother-in-law of the county magistrate is surnamed Qiu, the second in line, and everyone calls him Qiu the second child. On this day, Qiu Lao Er patrolled the streets with nothing to do, and asked Boss Zhou of the rice shop for tea money, which happened to be seen by Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu had already heard of some evil deeds of catching fast, in view of the earnest teachings of Wang Zhutou and Wang Kangping, Zhao Jiu didn't want to be nosy, but Boss Zhou also saw Zhao Jiu, so he had to let him comment.
Zhao Jiu comforted Qiu Lao Er with good words and asked him to go back to the class room earlier, where was Qiu Lao Er willing to listen to Zhao Jiu's words, but instead taught Zhao Jiu to fake his appearance, which provoked many people to watch the excitement outside the rice shop. Qiu Lao Er knew that it would not be good for him to make a big fuss, so he returned to the yamen angrily. Someone saw this farce and came to talk to Wang Zhutou, Wang Zhutou knew that Zhao Jiu would not cause trouble by himself, and he was very busy, so he didn't pay much attention to it. These words reached Wang Kangping's ears again, and he also knew that those people were usually hanging, so he seized an opportunity to knock on the side and beat them, those people didn't dare to offend Wang Kangping, but they complained very much about the people of the Wang family in their hearts.
Wang Zhutou's family really had nothing to say to Zhao Jiu, but Zhao Jiu knew very well in his heart that he was always under the fence. Zhao Jiu has been running around in Zhu Fugui's teahouse since he was a child, and he has seen the sophistication of the world, how he doesn't know why the color of the people in the class room has changed. Maybe Wang Zhutou and Jin Zhutou had a fateful relationship, so Wang Zhutou was willing to accept Zhao Jiu, but now he made Wang Zhutou and Kang Pingge embarrassed, and Zhao Jiu felt guilty.
The sunrise and sunset are another day, the flowers bloom and Xie is another spring, on the day of Qingming, Zhao Jiu quietly ran outside the city to burn incense for Daddy, Aunt Cuihua and Xiaoba, and went to the Guanyin Temple to listen to the old nun chant for half a day, kneeling for the lotus, Huahua, Xiaoqi for a long time, begging the Bodhisattva to bless them.
