Chapter 41: The Headless Corpse by the River (6)
The girl of Xianyun back then was indeed very famous in the capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info How many wealthy sons have spent a lot of money for her.
"Six years ago, the floods in Huzhou killed and injured many people, and many people were displaced. The Yishan Tang in the capital collected donations from the masses, but the Yishan Tang received a huge amount of anonymous donations. Fearing that the source of this donation was unknown, Yi Sin Tong had no choice but to seek help from the government to find out the source of the donation. In the end, it was found out that the silver was donated by Miss Xianyun! Qian Youcai said, and couldn't help but get excited.
"I'm afraid this move is to make a good reputation, presumably she is even more popular!" A discordant sound came from He Liang's mouth.
"Yun Niang is not the kind of person who sells fame and reputation!" Qian Juren retorted loudly: "That donation is worth nearly 100,000 taels!" ”
Wow, there was another uproar.
100,000 taels, ordinary people have no concept, look at those bosses who are looking for death and life. This is how many people struggle for a lifetime and can't earn it.
Let Qian Juren testify, originally wanted to use his name to change everyone's opinion of Yun Niang's identity. But I didn't expect Yun Niang to be a really kind person.
People are like this, and for people with high social status, they will always bring a beautiful gaze to embellish. Cheng Yao calmed down and listened carefully to Qian Juren's story.
"Most of the money donations were made in jewelry, and when the government was looking for donors, many young women came out to recognize each other."
"Young woman, oh, whose girl can be such a great master. I'm afraid that when I heard that the government was looking for someone, I jumped out for the sake of fame! Of course, these girls who jumped out should have good family backgrounds. I'm afraid that Yun Niang will have a hard time in the future! Cheng Yao added.
"Miss Cheng said it should be good! No one wants a prostitute, and the woman's name is louder than herself. Some women's fathers and brothers also threatened to embarrass Yun Niang. "After witnessing this series of events in the capital, Qian Jucai will respect Yun Niang so much.
Yun Niang couldn't help but hide her face and cry. It was because of the flood that she was sold by her father and mother. She didn't want other girls to be in the same situation as her. Only then did I secretly donate all the jewelry given by the benefactor!
Jewelry should be worn in front of the benefactor, and the girls in the building are all kept by themselves! But the bustard is regarded as a possession. Without such a large sum of silver, I am naturally annoyed.
She was famous at that time, and although the bustard didn't dare to beat and scold at will, she also starved twice in three days. It is said that saving some food will contribute to the people of Huzhou.
The sisters in the building were confiscated by the bustard because of this incident. Therefore, she is excluded everywhere.
"And then!" Those who heard it had pity in their hearts, and they really didn't want that.
"I don't know later!" Qian Juren shook his head regretfully.
"Miss Xianyun's actions are indeed admirable, but the one who is here today is indeed a prisoner." Master Lin pointed out bluntly that people change.
"Now let me tell you about this evidence!" Ignoring Master Lin's words, he quickly took over.
"Yun Niang's house is the scene of the first murder, and there is a lot of blood as evidence, there is no doubt about it. Unless there happens to be a gentleman on the beam who patronizes Yun's mother's house, no one can get a glimpse of how the murderer committed the murder. But what about the process of throwing the body? ”
"From Yun Niang's house to the dumping site, most of them are residential areas, if we can know when the murderer dumped the corpse. You can focus on asking and probing to see if someone happened to see the corpse thrower! ”
Everyone's attention was attracted by Cheng Yao!
"So, I asked the butcher Wan Lao Er to help me kill twenty pigs overnight last night." Cheng Yao pointed to the person.
Wan Lao Er's happy crowd waved their hands.
"Zhu Neng's weight is two hundred and eight pounds, and these pigs are also the same weight after bloodletting!"
"I've been killing pigs for so many years, and I've never been wrong in estimating how much a pig weighs after killing. Miss Cheng said that she wanted two hundred and eight catties after bloodletting, that is, two hundred and eight catties. Wan Lao Er made publicity for himself at the right time. Presumably, after this incident, there were more people looking for him to kill pigs.
Cheng Yao couldn't help but feel amused by this man's actions.
"At this time, it is the dry season of the river, and the corpse will still be exposed when thrown into the river, affected by the buoyancy in the water and the scouring force of the current. The corpses flow downstream.
Measured from the pit marks left by the body in the riverbed, the dumping point was only three feet from the riverbank.
From the third quarter of the hour, we threw the first pig from the dumping point, and then every half hour until the second hour. A total of sixteen pigs were used. ”
In order to prevent accidents, Cheng Yao also prepared four more pigs.
According to this experiment, it can be found that if Zhu Neng's body is going to be punctual at the end of the day, it happens to be found by the Lin Qi clan. Then it needs to be washed by the current, at least more than three hours! In other words, taking into account the time when the body may have been stranded, the murderer must have thrown the body into the river before the time was punctual. ”
Cheng Yao waved his hand, and Maodou handed over a simple map.
"This is the medical hall where Yun Niang was that night. This is Yun Niang's house, and this is the corpse dumping point. There is also a Zhao family wine shop. Let's study Yun Niang's course of action that night! "All these places are marked with cinnabar, forming a diamond-like pattern.
"At three o'clock, Yun Niang is at home. Suppose she kills Zhu Neng soon. Then hurriedly threw the body away.
Walked from Yun Niang's house to the Qujiang River. It takes three quarters of an hour for an adult man carrying only a lantern to walk briskly. Half an hour is the time of the child. And where was Yun Niang at that time? Cheng Yao crossed his fingers and counted the time to ask himself, and then pointed to the indication, "It's here!" Zhao's wine shop! That is, so many officials can prove it. It is impossible for Yun Niang to complete the corpse throwing incident. ”
"At the time, I was worried that it would be too late. It will delay the next day's errand. I also deliberately looked at the leaky pot. The time is right! The old king testified.
Then it was Zhao and Yang, the two heads of the courtiers, who sent the maidservant Xiaocui to the hospital. That's it.
Zhao Zhutou, please tell us what time it was when you left the hospital? Cheng Yao turned his head to Zhao Qi and said.
"It's about a moment! Yang Li and I ran into Lao Xu when we got out of the medical hall! The time can be determined! Zhao Qi calculated the time slightly in his heart. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
