Chapter 173: Murder
[Ran^Text^Library] Oh my God! Sure enough, it's them! Ling'er was so frightened that her hand shrunk, her body fell backwards and fell to the ground, and the old lady outside saw it and asked in a hoarse voice: "Ling'er, what's the matter, is it...... Who is it? ”
Ling'er's body shook for a moment, stroked her chest and smoothed her breath, then took a few deep breaths, mustered up the courage and trembled her hands to probe the snorts of the two. This article was published by www. lwχs520。 com first lay the adult outside...... I can't breathe at all, and my body is cold! She probed her pulse again, and no!
Ling'er's heart also cooled down, she saw that Grandma Fei was fine last night, but it became like this after only a day, there must be something strange in it, he definitely killed it! As for the small plug inside, Ling'er no longer has the courage to probe, even if she is calm in her heart, her body still trembles uncontrollably, she has lived for decades, and it is the first time she has touched a dead person, who can not be afraid?
Ding Zhutou strode in, saw that Ling'er's face was pale, and didn't say anything, but also squatted down to check the pulse of the two. He touched Grandma Fei's pulse, sniffed again, paused for a moment, and then began to rummage over her and ordered: "Shizi, go quickly, call Jiang Qizuo, and say that there has been a murder here!" ”
"Yes!" Ding Shi took the order to leave, Ding Zhutou stood up, turned around, walked to the little plug inside, and still sniffed and felt the pulse, suddenly he sighed, and touched the neck of the little plug.
After a while, Ding Zhutou picked up the little bolt, walked to the door and stuffed it to the donkey standing there: "This child is still alive, quickly, send it to Jizhongtang, tell the shopkeeper, just say what I said, you must save this child!" ”
The donkey was stunned for a moment, then made a promise, and ran out with the child in his arms.
"Girl, you and your mother should also go to Jizhongtang!"
As soon as Ding Zhutou finished speaking, Yizhu hurriedly ran over: "Boss." Two died over there, too! ”
Ling'er turned around and saw that the catcher pointed to the small courtyard separated by a wall from this broken house, the yard looked pretty good, at least it wasn't a family that worried about food and clothing all day long, how could it be dead? Could it be that someone is trying to kill someone for money?
It just so happened that Grandma Fei had a hundred taels of silver borrowed from her family, which is definitely not a decimal in the eyes of ordinary people, but why is the little bolt here? Didn't Grandma Fei say that the little plug was seeing a doctor in the hospital? Where is there a sign of the hospital around here? And who is the house in the yard next door? Why are they killed?
Ling'er was full of doubts. Before I knew it, I wanted to go in the direction of the courtyard. The arm was grabbed, and when I looked back, the old lady was looking at herself with a white face. Ling'er came to her senses and helped her mother: "Mother, it's okay, so many uncles are here!" ”
The old lady's voice trembled: "Ling'er." We... Let's go! ”
Ding Cheng came over and said, "Xiaowen, the eldest young master asked me to send you to Jizhong Hall!" ”
Ling'er looked in the direction of the courtyard. Nodding his head and thanking him, he helped the old lady and followed Ding Cheng out of this place. As soon as the two arrived at Jizhong Hall, Xiao Er greeted them and led them to the backyard guest room. Tea and snacks were served.
Ling'er asked, "Little brother, where is the child sent by the official before?" What happened to him? ”
Xiao Er looked at her, "Little girl." Who is that child? ”
"He's our neighbor, and my mother and I came to find them! Oh. Ding Zhutou knows this! ”
"Oh, that's it! The kid is in the yard next door, and the doctor is rescuing him! Rest assured, little girl, we will come to inform you when there is news! Let's get some rest! ”
Ling'er thanked her, sent Xiao Er away, and when she looked back, she saw that the old lady's face was extremely ugly, obviously overly frightened. The scene was quite terrifying, and Ling'er comforted: "Mother, don't worry, there is an official to take over this case, and they will definitely pay grandma justice!" ”
The old lady's body trembled, she looked up at Ling'er with a white face for a long time, and said with trembling lips: "Ling'er, you... You said that Sister Fei was ...... Was he killed? ”
"This ...... I don't know, mother, don't worry, the official will find out! Ling'er looked around, and saw that there was a kettle cloth towel in the corner, so she poured water for the old lady to wash, and helped her to the bed, comforting her softly for a while until she fell asleep, and then she was so sleepy that she also climbed into bed and fell asleep in a daze!
When she woke up again, the red light outside the window was dazzling, Ling'er rubbed her eyes and sat up, and found that the sun was about to set outside the window! I've slept all day, no wonder I'm hungry! By the way, my mother is hungry too, right?
Ling'er turned around and saw that the old lady was still lying motionless on the bed, Ling'er shouted twice, the old lady didn't react at all, Ling'er went up to shake her, but when she touched her body, she was startled. She quickly touched the door of the old lady's head, and touched her pulse, oh my God! It's burning! She ran out in a hurry, bumped into someone and asked where the doctor was? Then he rushed to the front hall, pulled a doctor, and ran away.
Two quarters of an hour later, the doctor stood up and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, little girl, your mother is just too tired and frightened, just drink a few pairs of medicine, it's fine!" ”
Ling'er also patted her chest and exhaled, thanked the doctor, sent her out the door, and then went back to sit on the edge of the old lady's bed. The old lady slept peacefully, and the burn had almost faded, so Ling'er had time to sort out her thoughts.
The day before yesterday, my family happily returned to Wangjia Village, and not long after returning home, Grandma Fei came and sat in her house for a long time, until she went to her house to find a small bolt, she asked her father and mother to borrow money, and a loan was hundreds of taels! When Ling'er heard that she had borrowed a lot of money from the village, she had an extra heart and offered to buy his family's land.
As soon as Ling'er mentioned this request, Grandma Fei took out the title deed, obviously she had already prepared, maybe if her father didn't agree to her, she would also take the initiative to take out the title deed. Then the old lady exchanged a hundred taels of silver for Grandma Fei's title deed, and Grandma Fei rushed into the city overnight!
In just one day, Goodbye Grandma Fei has turned into a corpse! Fortunately, her grandson Xiao Bolt is still angry, and I don't know if the little Bolt has been rescued? And I don't know if there is any news from Ding Zhutou?
Ling'er saw that the old lady was sleeping soundly, and decided to go out to find out the news first. She gently closed the door and asked all the way to the small bolt room, and before she arrived, she saw Ding Cheng and Ding Shi in the clothes of the servants standing at the door, talking to another man with his back to this side.
"Uncle Seiko, Uncle Shizi!" Ling'er called and walked over, and the two raised their heads and greeted: "Girl, you came just in time, Doctor Zhuang wants to ask you something!" ”
The man with his back turned around and was stunned when he saw Ling'er. Ling'er was also stunned, and then stepped forward with a smile: "Hello Doctor Zhuang, I haven't seen you for a few days, you ...... Fortune is getting better and better! ”
Ding Cheng and Ding Shi looked at each other suspiciously, "Girl, do you know Doctor Zhuang?" ”
"I know, last time my cousin Daqiang was injured, I asked Dr. Zhuang to see it! Dr. Zhuang is indeed a miracle doctor of rejuvenation. Injuries that no one else can look good at. He wiped it on with a few bottles of plaster! It's just that the price of the plaster is too ......."
"Hehe, little girl, it turned out to be you! Come on, come on. I've got a question for you! Doctor Zhuang interrupted her, rushed over in a few steps and whispered: "Stinky girl, I have already given you so much cheaper, don't ruin my reputation!" ”
Ling'er's eyes lit up. This guy didn't dare to let Ding Cheng know the price? …… By the way, this pharmacy is the property of the Ding family. Ding Cheng and Ding Shi are the long-term followers of the eldest young master of the Ding family, Ding Zhutou, they know that Ding Zhutou knows, that... Does it mean that Ding Zhutou does not allow the doctor in his shop to make extra money? …… Great, finally got his grip!
Ling'er smiled thief. Stretched out his slap and said, "Give me ten more bottles!" ”
Doctor Zhuang was stunned for a moment, so angry that his nose and eyes wrinkled together, and said in a low voice: "Stinky girl." Don't you have to make an inch, beware of me poisoning you! ”
"You dare. If you don't give it to me, tell Ding Zhutou that you sell medicine without permission and ruin the reputation of the pharmacy! ”
"You... Don't you dare! ”
"Do you think I dare?"
Ding Cheng looked at the two of them muttering and shouted, "Hey! What did you two say? ”
Dr. Zhuang turned around and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, I'll ask the child about his condition before he got sick!" ”
"Oh, come over and say, we'll have to go back to the young master later!"
"Okay, come over right away, wait a minute!" After Doctor Zhuang finished coping, he lowered his head and stared at Ling'er and raised two fingers, Ling'er flattened his mouth and muttered in a low voice, "Stingy!" ', show the gesture of eight!
Doctor Zhuang shook his head, showed three fingers, Ling'er shook his head, counter-offer seven, the two fought back and forth, Ding Cheng urged several times, and finally sold five bottles! Ling'er is overjoyed, five bottles are fifty taels of silver, this trip is not in vain!
Dr. Zhuang angrily took Ling'er to the door, and Ding Cheng said, "Doctor Zhuang, what's wrong?" That kid couldn't talk before? ”
When he mentioned this, Dr. Zhuang finally reacted, lowered his head and asked, "Stinky girl, this kid has always been dumb, right?" ”
Ling'er nodded: "Yes!" The little bolt has never been able to speak, Doctor Zhuang, aren't you a wonderful hand for rejuvenation? Can't see this? ”
Doctor Zhuang glared at her, "Who said I can't see it, it's because the two of them don't believe it, and they want to confirm with you!" ”
Ding Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, we are going to ask!" Alas, I thought that this child could provide some clues, but what can I do now? ”
Doctor Zhuang said: "Even if he can speak, it's useless!" ”
"Why?"
"This kid had a high fever for several days before he came, and it was his life that he didn't burn to death! He himself is burned to the ground, what can he know? ”
Ding Cheng and Ding Shi glanced at each other, then looked at Ling'er, Ling'er nodded and said, "Yes!" Grandma Fei went to the city to see a doctor for the little plug! She said that she met a miracle doctor in the city, and the miracle doctor said that the disease of the little bolt can not only be cured, but also can talk after being cured, and Grandma Fei and the little bolt depend on each other, and she is very happy to hear the news, and immediately goes back to the village to borrow money to see a doctor.
She had borrowed most of the people in our village, and she would borrow money when we went back, because the amount was so large, so it was the night before yesterday that she said that she would exchange the fields for silver. My mother gave her a hundred taels of silver, and she gave her the title deed to my mother, and we made an appointment to come to the county government office to transfer the household in a few days. ”
"You and your mother came to them just to do the transfer?"
"Yes, we've got all the title deeds!"
"Show me!"
"At my mother's! By the way, Uncle Shizi, Grandma Fei is gone, how can we transfer the title deed? ”
"That old lady was obviously killed, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get over for a while!"
"Huh? Why? ”
"The cause of the old lady's death has not been investigated yet, if I don't know you, girl, your family is suspected of murder and wealth!"
"Uncle, don't scare me, look at me like this, how can I kill someone!"
"Hehe, it's true to do it according to the normal procedure, but don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, as long as you go to the county government to record a confession, you and your mother can go home!"
"The title deed ......"
"The title deed will also be handed over to the county government, and when the case is closed, it will naturally be returned to its owner!"
Ling'er cried with a sad face: "We are the owners of the title deed!" Uncle Chengzi and Uncle Shizi, we have known each other for a long time, can we ......?"
"Can't! Little girl, if it's other trivial things, it's fine. This is a homicide, and it can't be sloppy in the slightest! Well, that's it! Doctor Zhuang, please take care of that child, and no one is allowed to take him away! Little girl, you go to the county government to record a confession, that's right. Don't forget to bring that title deed! ”
The two of them finished speaking. After saying goodbye, he hurriedly left. Ling'er stood in place in frustration, worrying about whatever she wanted, and a hundred taels of silver were lost. These two days have been in vain!
Doctor Zhuang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Stinky girl, you should be content!" This kid in the house has lost a relative, and almost lost his life, you only lost a hundred taels of silver! ”
Ling'er thinks about it. Really! If you lose your money, you can earn it again, but if you lose your life, you will have nothing! Small plug and little mute. The only grandmother who can take care of him is gone, how will he live in the future! Alas, poor child!
Ling'er raised her head and said, "Doctor Zhuang, can I take a look at the little bolt?" ”
Dr. Zhuang put his chin on his hand and thought about it: "Yes, yes." But...... You've seen the five bottles of medicine......"
"Don't think, it costs fifty taels of silver for a glance? You're too picky! I'm going to find Ding Zhutou! ”
"Hey! Stinky girl, stop! Stop! Doctor Zhuang grabbed Ling'er, who was about to run away. "Okay, okay, I've got you." Can't you still give you the medicine? ”
Ling'er was overjoyed: "Then bring it now!" ”
Dr. Zhuang was unhappy in every way, but he was helpless, and went back to the house while rummaging through the medicine box and muttered: "Really, you stinky girl, you have a grudge against me in your last life......"
Ling'er put away the medicine bottle and went over to look at the little plug, the child had a fever and his body had been cleaned, but the tears in the corners of his eyes were still clearly visible! Alas, poor boy, he still doesn't know how he will live in the future after he has lost the only relative in this world?
Ling'er suddenly remembered the title deeds of the more than a dozen acres of fields, if there were those fields, maybe this child could live in peace! Dr. Zhuang is right, the relatives who have lost their own relatives are only one hundred taels of silver! If you can't get the title deed...... Forget it, just do a good deed and help the little plug!
Ling'er, who had figured it out, exhaled softly, her mood was much lighter, she thought about it, took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Dr. Zhuang, Dr. Zhuang was shocked: "What, stinky girl, you suddenly found out on your conscience?" ”
Ling'er spat him: "You have no conscience!" This is to pay for the medical expenses of the small plug, please take care of Dr. Zhuang! ”
Doctor Zhuang laughed and accepted the silver: "Okay, but I want to tell you one thing, stinky girl, even if you don't give the silver, no one will dare to slack off on what the eldest young master orders!" Hehe, regret it, right? Want silver, right? ”
Ling'er glanced at him: "I'm not as stingy as you, just give what you should give, anyway, this is for the little bolt, if you dare to swallow it privately, you have no asshole when you give birth to a son!" Hmph, I'm back! ”
Ling'er walked out of the house with her head held high, Dr. Zhuang was stunned for a long time, and finally reacted, shouting at the door: "Dead girl, stinky girl, you are also vicious, right?" Come back, you come back to me! ”
Ling'er stayed in the Jizhong Hall for three days, went to see the little bolt every day, and then went to the street to inquire about the news, the murder case had already been in an uproar, people did not know why, all kinds of rumors were inexplicable, and the government sent a large number of officials to search around the city every day, and there was no result.
The only good news is that the group of people in the Jia family has completely disappeared, and they may have been forced back by the officials all over the street, anyway, there are a lot of children on the street now, and Ling'er doesn't have to worry about going out!
This afternoon, Ling'er continued to walk around the street, it seems that Grandma Fei's case will not be able to come out for a while, the old lady's illness is almost better, she plans to buy some things, and go home with the old lady early tomorrow morning.
Ling'er was squatting on the side of the stall looking at the flowers, this one was better than that one, and suddenly a voice behind her: "Ling'er? Ling'er? ”
Ling'er turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw the visitor, and the other party said excitedly: "Oh, it's really Ling'er of the Yang family!" ”
Ling'er hurriedly stood up: "Uncle Jiaping, Uncle Jiarong, why are you here?" ”
Wang Jiaping said: "Alas, we are here to find Aunt Fei and the little bolt!" ”
"Huh? Why? Oh, you're here to see them, aren't you? ”
Wang Jiarong and Wang Jiaping glanced at each other, and Wang Jiaping was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, forget it!" But...... Forget it, don't talk about this! Ling'er. ? Why haven't you come back all these days? Your father and Yue'er care about you very much, by the way, didn't you also come to find Aunt Fei and Little Bolt? Did you find anyone? ”
Ling'er laughed dryly twice, and looked around: "Uncle, why don't we go to the teahouse over there to have a cup of tea, sit down and talk slowly?" ”
Several people came to the teahouse. Ling'er wants a private room. The two of them were afraid of expensive and resolutely disagreed, so they only found a place by the window. As soon as they sat down. Wang Jiaping said anxiously: "Ling'er, what's the matter?" Did you find anyone? ”
Ling'er looked at him and wondered: "I found it, but I just ......"
"Found it? That's good, that's good! Alas. Aunt Fei has always been good with our family, and the little plug is sick. She came to borrow money, and the lady lent all the money from our family, even the silver hairpin for the dowry! Five or six taels of silver, if you can't find ......"
Wang Jiaping stopped. Scratching his head embarrassedly, he thought about it and asked again: "Ling'er." What happened to the little plug? Healed, right? Can you talk? ”
Ling'er frowned and was silent for a moment. Lowering their heads, Wang Jiaping and Wang Jiarong glanced at each other, and Wang Jiarong said, "What's wrong, Ling'er, something happened?" ? ”
"My mother is sick and in the hospital!"
"Huh? Sick? At which clinic? Let's take a look! ”
"No, no, it's nothing, it's just that I'm tired from long-distance work, and I'm almost better after drinking the medicine!"
The two sides were silent for a moment, and Ling'er thought for a while, "Uncle Jiarong, Uncle Jiaping, isn't it busy farming now?" You guys made a special trip to find Grandma Fei and the little bolt? ”
The two glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and Wang Jiarong said, "Alas! Ling'er, we won't hide it from you, anyway, you'll know when you go back to the village! Actually, the old village chief asked us to come, no, yes...... It was the big guy who went to the old village chief and said that Aunt Fei had borrowed a lot of money, and there was no news after going to the city for so many days, so she was worried that she wouldn't ...... Nothing happened, so ......"
Ling'er's mind turned, and she immediately understood what they meant, on the surface, it seemed that the people in the village were kind, but to put it bluntly, she was afraid that Grandma Fei would not repay the money she borrowed, so she ran away!
It's really funny, Grandma Fei has lived in Wangjia Village for decades, her home and her fields are there, where can she go? Even if she runs away with the money, the house and the land are still there, those debts are enough, this group of people is really cautious, if they know that Grandma Fei is gone, I don't know what they will think?
"By the way, Ling'er, I heard...... Aunt Fei has... The land was sold to your family, and the title deed is with you, is it true? Ling'er raised his head, Wang Jiaping laughed embarrassedly, Ling'er frowned, this is the reason why the people in the village are uneasy, right? She sighed lightly: "Uncle Jiarong, Uncle Jiaping, did you hear that there was a big case in the city when you entered the city!" ”
"Big case? You mean four or five people died in a row? I heard that the family was all dead, and they were all strangled to death! ”
"Yes, an old lady, a husband and wife, and a pair of children!"
"Alas, what miserable! The family is all dead, and I don't know who this family has a grudge against, but they are so ruthless, even the old people and children are not spared! ”
"Not a family!"
"What?"
"I said that the old lady who died was Grandma Fei!"
The two opened their mouths in surprise and were stunned for a long time, and Wang Jiaping swallowed his saliva: "Ling'er, what did you just say?" Say it again! ”
"I said that the old lady who was killed was Grandma Fei!"
The two still didn't believe it: "Ling'er, this thing is not a joke!" ”
"Uncle Jiarong, Uncle Jiaping, I'm not joking, this is what my mother and I saw with our own eyes, the little bolt may have burned too badly at the time, and the murderer thought that he couldn't survive and didn't do it, so he left the little bolt alive! He's in Jizhongtang now, and his fever has subsided, but he hasn't woken up yet! I don't know if he knows about his grandmother! ”
The two sat for a long time, Ling'er looked at the sky, knocked on the table and said, "Uncle Jiarong, Uncle Jiaping, aren't you going back today?" ”
The two of them reacted and looked at each other, "We...... Let's go see the little plug first! ”
Ling'er stood up: "Okay, I'll take you there!" ”
"Wait, Ling'er, the title deed ......"
Ling'er laughed in her heart, "The official said that the cause of Grandma Fei's death was unknown, and the title deed was collected, and until this case is closed, the title deed will always be pressed in the official mansion!" Uncle Jiaping, although Grandma Fei sold the land to us, but in this situation, our family is embarrassed to accept her land, even if we want to collect it, the government will not transfer it to us! You can rest assured! ”
"I... That was not what I meant! ”
"Hehe, it's okay, let's go, I'll take you to see the little bolt!" (To be continued)
