Chapter 18: The Bitter Lord

Taiping County, one of the six counties under the rule of the Beijing government, did not have a good Dragon Boat Festival?

As the name suggests, Taiping County has always been peaceful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And because it is close to the capital, it has been stained with the light under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there have been no major cases so far, all of which are trivial and, and the yamen is idle to death.

Although the population of Taiping County is large, there is no county, and other county orders, master books, county lieutenants and three classes and six rooms are neatly organized.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, except for the porter on duty, all of them were sent out to maintain order. The main book stays behind, and the other officials are on vacation.

Mortuary.

A whining cry came out, and Luo Sangongzi crossed his arms with his hands, leaned on the pillar, and looked at a young man wearing a fast hunting suit who came over.

"Lord Luo, the monk has been quietly guarded."

"Hmm. Well done. ”

At this time, his little attendant walked in quickly from outside the half-moon gate of the low wall, and whispered: "Third young master, Master Gao is back." ”

"Zhuye, you and Shang Qi are staying here. Later, the families of the deceased came out and asked them to go to the chamber. ”

"It's the young master."

Shang Qi was surprised: "My lord, there is something else strange about this case?" ”

Luo Sangongzi nodded with a hesitant face.

The Taiping County Order is called Gao Li, who has repeatedly failed the exam since he was a teenager, and only got hit by the crane in his thirties. I don't know if it was the green smoke from the ancestral tomb or if I was really lucky, it didn't take long for me to be assigned to Taiping County, which was peaceful and idle, as a parent official.

It's good that it's close to Beijing, and it's leisurely and don't worry about the people's customs.

The disadvantage is that it is too clear, and there is no oil and water to fish. Under the rule of peace, it is difficult to make political achievements, and it is even more difficult to be promoted.

He was happy to take his wife and daughter to watch the Honghe Dragon Boat Race, but he was glad to be found by Luo County's attendant, and told him that there was a murder in Shengshan Temple. It was an urgent official business, and it also happened in Shengshan Temple, and Gao County ordered Mrs. Anxious to explain it, and temporarily canceled it and rushed back in a sedan chair.

When he rushed back in a panic, he saw that the unjustified ones were beating the drums!

Unexpectedly, County Lieutenant Luo blocked him in the conference hall, and before he even let him drink his saliva, he reported to him what happened today.

"Nonsense!" Gao Xian Ling slapped the desk, but instead of blowing his nose and glaring, he had a sad face: "County Lieutenant Luo, aren't you looking for trouble?" How can there be a murder in front of everyone's eyes? Doesn't it mean that everyone saw that the deceased entered the shrine by himself? This matter is regarded as the end of the miracle of the boundless Dharma, the manifestation of the Buddha, and the ascension of believers to heaven in the daytime. ”

"Lord Gao, you are the parent official of a county. If there is a case of arson and death under his rule, he will be gently let go if he does not correct or investigate? Tsk, this is the way of the official, and the lower official can be regarded as gaining knowledge. Luo Sangongzi raised his eyebrows and smiled cynically.

Gao County ordered that no seizures should occur. Who let this be the third son of the Taiwei Mansion in the capital?

"Preach the Bitter Lord." Gao Li sighed.

It's been a good festival and it's gone! However, for most of the year after taking office, it can be regarded as a murder case, but we must cheer up and show it well.

The identity of the deceased is not difficult to check, the second daughter-in-law of Li Dayuan in a nearby village. My mother's house is from another village, and I have been notified in place.

The mortuary is crying for the deceased's relatives, including the mother and sister-in-law. The mother-in-law's family and the girl who usually follows.

Gao Li changed into an official uniform, and instead of being promoted, he asked for details in the conference hall.

"Huang, but your daughter?"

The mother of the deceased was so distressed that she almost fainted from crying, leaned on her daughter-in-law's arm, and nodded: "Go back to your lordship, exactly." ”

"Are you sure?"

It's not burnt, how can you recognize it?

Huang wiped his tears and resisted his sadness: "Back to my lord, although my daughter is ...... The appearance is completely ruined, but a fetal mole is still faintly visible on the inside of the leg bone. The people's daughter recognized it clearly, and it was indeed the daughter of the people's woman. ”

Gao Li looked at the people of the Li family again. They also testified that they were the second young grandmothers.

After inquiry, it was learned that Li Yuanwai's two daughters-in-law believed in Buddhism and were fascinated. Every month, I go to Katsushan to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Since the monk has been living in the order, she can be said to be the most sincere, every other three or five to go back, and said happily that the monk accepted as a registered disciple. The family did not oppose it, and they were quite supportive.

This morning, she also burned incense and bathed, saying that it was promised by the monk himself, and when the Buddha altar preached the Dharma, it was the time when she successfully cultivated the Buddha and ascended to heaven. The family felt strange and didn't say anything, thinking that she was just talking about it, but they didn't expect it to be like this in a blink of an eye.

At this, the women on both sides cried loudly again.

Gao Li looked at Lieutenant Luo.

Anyway, he thinks it's okay, it's not like murder!

Luo Sangongzi hooked his lips silently, and his demeanor was charming. The mournful young women on both sides looked at him secretly, and forgot to cry for a moment.

"Why don't you see the second young master of Li Yuanwai's family?" The lady is dead, and it is not normal to not show up for half a day.

The people from the staff family hurriedly returned: "The second young master went to Gaomen County to do business in the first month, and he didn't have time to come back. ”

"So, the second young master of the Li family has been away for nearly half a year?" The smile on Luo Sangongzi's face became even stronger.

"Lord Hui, yes."

Luo Sangongzi turned his head to the outside of the hall: "Pass on the stable wife." ”

Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, and then focused on Wen Po who walked in.

Wen Po saluted Kochi Prefecture in a proper manner, and also gave a salute to the county lieutenant, and then said with a blank face: "Tell your lord, the grass people checked the female deceased, although it was scorched, it can still be verified that she is three months pregnant." ”

After a few seconds, it was like a drop of water sliding down the oil pan and then frying the pan.

"What?"

"You talk nonsense! You old woman spews blood. I'll beat you to death! The excited Huang couldn't help but pounce on Wen Po.

Shang Qi, who was on standby outside the hall, took two catchers to separate them.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Huang cried and crawled to the foot of Kochi County and shouted, "My lord wants to be the master of the people's women!" My daughter died a terrible death, and she had to be splashed with dirty water. If the adults don't give an explanation, the wife won't want her life. ”

After that, he was about to hit the wall.

Let Shang Qi drag it again.

The people of the Li family also shouted: "How is it possible? The second young master left home in May, where did the young grandmother's pregnancy start? ”

"Did you make a mistake? Everyone is dead, and they want to smear our Li family, oh my God! Not alive anymore! ”

Another splattering and rolling.

"Silence, silence!" Kochi Prefecture is suffering from not being in court, so he can't slap the wood in shock, and slam the table angrily.

County Lieutenant Luo watched coldly, not surprised or surprised, as if he was accustomed to it, taking advantage of their cries being weakened, he added idly: "So, I suspect that this is a premeditated murder case, not the so-called flying into an immortal by daylight." ”

"Huh?" When Huang heard this, he looked over with snot and tears on his face.

Her daughter-in-law was not related to the deceased, although she also cried bitterly, she still maintained enough calm and sanity.

She was the first to react and asked, "The county lieutenant is saying that my sister-in-law was killed by someone?" ”

"That's right."

"Who? The one who killed a thousand knives killed my daughter? Huang was angry, annoyed and hateful, and he couldn't slow down when he sat on the ground.
