Chapter 256: Holy Bead Ring
Hou Qu and Xiong Li carried broken silver, beat a lot of wine and meat, and came back to eat and drink. Song Zhiyao looked at Liu Yichen and whispered close to her ear.
"Xianggong, this time, I'm afraid that I was being tricked by that woman, the slave family obviously felt that something was wrong with her, and that look always wanted to eat us."
Liu Yichen looked at her like that and grinned. "That's it, so what? Could it be that this court can be condemned like this? ”
This time, Song Zhiyao was stopped. She rubbed her head and glared. "But Xianggong, she has no other problems besides this."
Liu Yichen patted her head and smiled. "I revealed the news to the little guy, the murderer will be on the case immediately, and the little guy will definitely tell her."
Song Zhiyao didn't think twice and understood what was going on. "If that's the case, and the woman destroys the traces of physical evidence, it will be difficult for us to go any further."
Looking at her appearance, Liu Yichen replied kindly. "It's to be a thief, that's the axiom of the world, wait until tomorrow, you and I will go again."
Xiao took the child in his arms, went to the temple for a turn, and walked around the market, and the people passing by looked at him sympathetically.
She looked at the men and snickered inwardly. "I didn't expect this thing to go so smoothly, without this burden, life is really happy."
It wasn't until late evening that she returned to the shop. As soon as he stepped on the threshold, the young man ran over in a panic, his face panicked.
"Oh no, ma'am." He said breathlessly. "The man said they were about to catch the murderer, what should we do?"
Listening to his words, Xiao Shi was shocked, and a cold sweat broke out on his head. I almost fainted. It took a long time before he calmed down.
"He's just coaxing, and after selling the leftover cloth, the shop will be closed." She calmly soothed the young man.
The young man looked at her thoughtfully. She waved her hand. "My Lang Jun, no worse than gold and silver, keep your mouth shut, I won't treat you badly."
The young man listened to her words and nodded hurriedly. "Madam, the little one is just a round belly, where can you have such a big guts?"
Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile. "After tossing this day, I was also thirsty, so I went to the well, fetched me saliva to drink, and then packed up the cloth."
The young man, looking at her, was afraid. Just walked to the threshold, scared heartache. "Madam, wait a little longer, and the little one will come."
He staggered, and after a while, he suddenly disappeared. After a long time, Xiao went to the back, only to find that he had fled.
Xiao Shi looked at the ethereal night sky in the distance and let out a long sigh. "Tomorrow, I won't open this shop, just serve the family."
She piled the cloth together and threw it in the backyard. At the same time, Liu Yichen went to the cellar under the county government again.
The county order has just finished dealing with complicated affairs, and he is tired. "My lord, are you still here to investigate the case? The corpse can be put away for a while. ”
As he spoke, he stretched hard. "It's just a small county, and I asked so many people, and they all said that that night, there was a dark shadow walking by."
Liu Yichen looked at the county order and was interested. "Oh? If that's the case, I'd rather look at the confessions and ask the woman to try it. ”
He flipped through the white pages and looked at the small lines of ink writing. "At the tea stall opposite, it was said that at noon, a strange person came."
With pen and ink, he drew a round head, his face was full of wrinkles, his eyebrows were thick, his nose was crooked, and a pair of goldfish eyes seemed to be about to be stared out.
He looked at the paper carefully, pondered for a while, and then spoke. "If that's the case, did everyone else around you say anything?"
The prefectural magistrate didn't speak, just turned the page. "This person is perverse in his words and deeds, staring at the shop with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, his whereabouts are strange, and he will soon disappear."
Liu Yichen then flipped down the paper. "On that day, the shop was very deserted, but no one came, and there was a strange woman who came to buy silk."
Below was a picture of a woman, who seemed to be very tall, with a round mole on her face, thin eyes, and curly hair.
Liu Yichen flipped down again and groaned. "If this is the case, everyone speaks differently, and someone must have told a lie."
The county magistrate nodded. "The small county naturally knows this, but they, I don't want to play the board casually, no matter how you ask, it's like this."
Liu Yichen smiled slightly. "Then I told the woman that the murderer had been found, but he was still interrogating, and it was inconvenient to meet her."
Listening to Liu Yichen's words, the county commander's face was shocked. "My lord, this can't be helped, after all, we haven't found the murderer, and we can't bend to the wronged good people."
Liu Yichen then explained a lot to the county order, he was very suspicious on his face, and finally agreed to him. Early the next morning, Liu Yichen came to the shop again.
Xiao's face was full of tears, and his eyes were red. "The second dog of the god is really not a thing, just this little bit of goods, but he was also swept away."
Liu Yichen looked at her like this, walked up and asked with concern. "Madame, what about it?" She pointed to the empty container next to her and cursed.
"What was killed that day, while the little woman went out to worship the Buddha, she stole those cloths directly, this god has eyes, let him thunder and split the sky."
Liu Yichen thought of the little guy Xiao said, who spoke yesterday. "Madame, you are so bitter, and I pity you very much."
As he spoke, he handed over a few taels of silver in his hand and said kindly. "You and I are destined to give birth to serve the child, and also comfort your husband's spirit in the sky."
Xiao naturally didn't look down on the silver in his heart, so he repeatedly refused. "Adult, the little woman is a backbone person, so you don't have to let the adult break the bank."
The people on the side, looking at the dilapidated shops, cast sympathetic glances. Liu Yichen smiled slightly. "Just madam, beware of safety."
Xiao Shi looked at him and said with a puzzled expression. "Adult, the little woman is alone, pulling a child, who is coming, and what can it do?"
Liu Yichen replied. "It's just that those thieves, who are vicious, are a woman, it's not safe here, it's better to find some back as soon as possible."
Xiao Shi listened to his words and let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank you, my lord, just as the little woman wished, I returned home earlier, and I didn't have such troubles."
Liu Yichen sat down here again, drinking tea and eating snacks. From time to time, there are previous merchants who come to settle the previous debts with the Xiao family.
Liu Yichen took the silver and couldn't help but say that he would pay off all those debts. "How pitiful this orphan and widow are, don't be sorry for her anymore."
Xiao Shi looked at Liu Yichen's appearance, knelt down and thanked him a thousand times. "My lord, if you are really like a little girl regenerating her parents, it is a bodhisattva-like kindness."
Her expression was so hypocritical, and she muttered in her heart. "What was his purpose in doing such a strange thing?"
The more he thought about it, the more scared Xiao became. Thinking of his own affairs, once it is revealed, he will be severely punished, and his heart beats.
Liu Yichen gently raised his body and drank the tea in one gulp. "Wait until tomorrow, I'll come back and help you deal with this aftermath."
Xiao Shi looked at Liu Yichen's distant back, couldn't help it anymore, and waved his hand and asked. "My lord, what is the case of my husband?"
When she said this, a stone in her heart fell to the ground, and no matter what kind of answer, it was much better than falling into that anxiety and fear.
Liu Yichen turned his head, scratched his hair, and was stunned for a moment. "Oh? I just remembered this, and I went to ask the county government again. ”
So saying, he ran out, and after a while he came back from outside, smiling. "Madam, I have great joy for you."
Xiao Shi looked at Liu Yichen's appearance, trying his best to stay calm. "Really?" Liu Yichen replied excitedly. "The murderer has been caught."
When Xiao Shi heard this, it was just a moment of effort, and he went crazy in an instant. "My husband! God has eyes and has caught the vicious thief. ”
She laughed and danced wildly, acting so realistically. The people around her, one by one, cast sympathetic glances and talked about her story.
Liu Yichen continued. "It's just that thief, there are other cases, there are many accomplices, don't startle the snake, and you have to observe for a while, Fang Ming is punished."
Xiao Shi looked at him, his face returned to nature, and he gritted his teeth tightly and squeaked. "My lord, the little woman is a sensible person."
She took the baby in her arms and went back to the store. Liu Yichen looked at her back, happy in his heart. "It seems that she also believed my words."
Liu Yichen was thinking about the next move, how to go, but the thief of private salt was also a cunning person, and it would not be easy to deal with him.
Xiao went to the house, rubbed the pink fat powder, the corners of his mouth bent into a crescent moon, and squinted his eyes and smiled. "It's just this, I'm afraid it's not a lie to me, how can it be like this?"
During this time, because of the shopkeeper's business, she pretended to be chaste. It's just that now, the valley in her heart is underfired, and she can't hold back anymore.
A white dove was released in the palm of his hand and flew into the sky. "My good lover, I should have come back sooner, that dead ghost, rotten into mud."
At the same time, Liu Yichen returned to his residence and said to Song Zhiyao with a smile. "Yao'er, that woman is on the road, in a few days, we will go to the inn again."
She looked at Liu Yichen and asked with a look of surprise. "Xianggong, if that's the case, I'm afraid that she will do it, but I'm afraid that if she can't catch that person, she will be in trouble."
Liu Yichen replied without thinking. "Yao'er, let's take a step at a time, this woman can't bear to be lonely, and her lover will inevitably come."
Song Zhiyao shook her head and pouted. In the past few days, they have pretended not to have such a thing, and they have been out swimming in the mountains and rivers, and they are very happy.
The pigeon quickly flew back into Shaw's hands. She looked at the note at her feet and frowned. "Yes, wait a little longer."
She no longer bothered to inquire about the case, and was alone every day, serving the children. From time to time, I walked on the street, carrying a bamboo basket and buying vegetables.
The town calmed down for a while, Xiao Shi walked down the street, the snow-white chest was milking the child, and the bored idlers around him were whistling at her.
Xiao wrapped his turban tightly, glared at them, and scolded loudly. "Shameless, get out, don't dirty my eyes."
Those idlers and ruffians naturally ran to the side, giggling. Many neighbors around her, looking at her, also felt pity for her.
On this day, the county magistrate was sitting in the hall. There was a thump outside the door. The officials pushed open the door and found Xiao kneeling in front of him with many people.
Her face was stained with tears, and her hair was unkempt. "My lord, the little woman heard that the murderer was caught, when will she be punished."
The county commander looked at Xiao's face, with a soft expression, and a hint of hesitation in his eyes. After pondering for a long time, he replied kindly.
"Girl, why are you in such a hurry." He cleared his throat and continued. "That Jiangyang thief, it's not just this case, there are accomplices."
The people in the back, following the Xiao family, kowtowed heavily together. "My lord, God is pitiful, this little lady is waiting for her eyes."
The county magistrate looked at those people, and his forehead was full of blood. "Xiao is a chaste martyr, giving the archway of chastity and Dunhua customs."
When Xiao heard this, he was suspicious. "This county order, it's like this, it's just that I don't want to see the murderer, in case it's deliberately tricking me."
So she knelt a few more steps forward and wailed. "The little girl doesn't care about that, she just lets her husband go to the ground and goes back to her hometown to stay widowed."
Those people, also holding white flowers, knelt down one after another. On the side, many idlers watching the excitement were gossiping, pointing to the county government.
