Chapter 31: White Silk

Liang Ke's words made Liu Zhixian speechless for a long time, according to a man's standards, he was very sympathetic to Liang Ke's plight, but the law is the law, no matter how much Liang Ke was wronged, after all, five lives were lost in his hands......

Liu Zhixian raised the startling wood, then gently lowered it, and said to Liang Ke: "You tell the official how you killed Wang Ping, Fan Hongshuang and the others."

"That night, I followed Pingmei to Lotus Lane......"

Liang Ke recounted what happened that year, and that night, Liang Ke followed Wang Ping to Lotus Lane, and watched Wang Ping and Xu Jia take anesthetic and ignite opium cream. The combination of these two things is indeed very powerful, and soon Wang Ping and the two entered the state......

Seeing the scene in front of him, Liang Ke instinctively broke into the courtyard and wanted to take Wang Ping away, but it was a pity that Wang Ping had completely lost herself at this time, coupled with the effect of aphrodisiac, Wang Ping took the initiative to entangle Liang Ke and wanted to rejoice with him!

Liang Ke's feelings for Wang Ping are very sincere, and he really wants to get this woman he has loved for a long time, but the situation in front of him is completely different from what he wants! He can't tolerate others sharing his beloved with him, and he can't accept what Wang Ping is doing at this time!

In order to save Wang Ping, Liang Ke forcibly pulled her up from Xu Jia's body, but at this time, he was resisted by Xu Jia! Because Liang Ke was angry at that time, Xu Jia's action immediately ignited the anger in his heart, and Liang Ke fought with Xu Jia in anger. Xu Jia had already been hollowed out by the wine, coupled with the anesthetic and opium paste in his body, he didn't have half the strength in his body at all, and was soon knocked to the ground by Liang Ke, but he didn't expect that at this time, Wang Ping was like a demon, opened the door and ran outside!

At this time, Wang Ping was defenseless, Liang Ke hurriedly chased after her in a hurry, but was resisted by Wang Ping, this situation completely stimulated Liang Ke, who was already angry, subconsciously picked up a firewood knife in front of a family and rushed towards Wang Ping......

His reason has been completely lost, and when he comes back to his senses, Liang Ke knows what he has done...... He killed the woman he loved the most with his own hands...... Looking at Wang Ping's scattered corpse, Liang Ke was stunned, but at this time, his heart actually underwent earth-shaking changes!

In order to come to see Xu Jia, Wang Ping dressed up carefully before going out, and Wang Ping, who did not feel the slightest pain due to the effect of the drug at this moment, still maintained that faint smile when she died. Looking at the delicate face and the blood all over the ground, Liang Ke felt that Wang Ping was so beautiful at this time, as if she was the most beautiful only at this time in her life......

And Fan Hongshuang's death was the same as Shen Huan guessed, Liang Ke went out to look for a target that day, and accidentally found Fan Hongshuang who went out to look for his younger brother. The Fan family was not too far from Liang Ke's home, so he also knew what Fan Hongshuang did, so he took Fan Hongshuang as his target. Pretending to know Fan Yizhi's whereabouts, he killed her after putting her down with anesthetic and opium ointment......

Liang Ke's tone was very calm, but there was a faint trace of tears in his eyes, making it impossible to guess what kind of mood he was in in his heart.

Looking at the calm expression on Liang Ke's face, Liu Zhixian was speechless for a long time, and only after a long time did he let Liang Ke be taken back to the cell. I don't know what's going on, Liu Zhixian was also very calm at this time, there was no excitement at all about solving the unsolved case, and he didn't feel the slightest pity for Liang Ke's sad life, this mood is really indescribable......

A few days later......

Shen Huan came to the county seat again, today is the day of Fan Hongshuang's funeral, because she died horizontally, she could not be buried in the ancestral grave of the Fan family, she could only find a place on the small dirt slope not far from the side of the ancestral tomb to bury her......

For Fan Yizhi, the loss of his sister is not only the loss of his only relative, but also the loss of his only source of livelihood......

Since the morning, the light rain in the sky has been falling from time to time, and it was only at this time that the sun showed a little bit of its true face, stepping on the muddy water to Fan Yizhi's side, and Shen Huan didn't know what to say for a while to comfort this poor scholar......

Kneeling on the ground and looking at his sister's coffin, Fan Yizhi's whole person was like a wandering soul without half a point of spirit, until Xing Zhutou, who came to help, came to remind him, and Fan Yizhi stood up......

A stack of yellow paper was set on fire and thrown into the grave, which is a unique local burial custom, called hot grave. In Shen Huan's memory, it seems that the living are greeting the land lord, in order to tell the land lord that there will be a person who will be buried here, and ask him to take more care of him. As for whether it was really such an explanation, he couldn't remember......

The yellow paper quickly turned into a cloud of ashes, and if there is no unburned paper, it means that this is a good place! Xing Zhutou looked at the sky, it was an auspicious time, and it was time to go down to the coffin to seal the grave, but just as he was about to beckon someone to prepare to get out of the coffin, he found that Shen Huan suddenly walked towards the coffin.

Everyone looked at Shen Huan very puzzled, no one knew what he wanted to do, at this moment, they saw Shen Huan take out a white silk from the basket he brought, and cover it on the coffin with Song Shi!

The scene in front of them stunned everyone, the white silk shroud, that is a funeral that only innocent and good people can deserve! But now it has appeared on a dead pheasant......

Looking at Fan Yizhi's shocked and incredulous eyes, Shen Huan opened his mouth and said, "Although your sister's body has been defiled, her heart has always been holy, so she deserves it."

Shen Huan's voice was not loud, but for Fan Yizhi, it was as shocking as thunder! At this moment, he remembered the days when he was with his sister, and everything his sister suffered was for his younger brother! Shelter him like a loving mother! No matter how devastated, her heart has never changed! It's still so gentle and strong, pure and immaculate!

The pent-up emotions in his heart exploded again, no one thought that Fan Yizhi would cry so sadly, even the few rare friends who had been with him in the past few days had not seen him cry like this in the mourning hall...... However, Shen Huan understood why Fan Yizhi was like this......

Since Fan Yizhi can remember, their sister and brother have been subjected to the cold eyes of others, especially after Fan Hongshuang embarked on this road, the Fan family has been subjected to more gossip, which makes the Fan family sisters and brothers have a strong sense of inferiority in their hearts, and they are desperate to be recognized by others! The fundamental reason why Fan Yizhi is so angry and wants to gain fame is that he wants to get rid of such a situation, and what he has done today is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and respect for Fan Hongshuang's life!

The coffin covered with white silk has been buried in the deep loess, but Fan Yizhi is still there kneeling down and looking at his sister's new grave, Shen Huan did not disturb him but left here with Song Shi and Xing Zhutou, Fan Yizhi's heart knot has been untied, and all that remains is to let time help heal the scars in his heart......

On the way back, Song Shi and Xing Zhutou chatted without saying a word, and somehow Xing Zhutou suddenly talked about Wang Laohan, "Do you know? After this Liang Ke was sentenced to beheading, this old man Wang would come to visit him on death row almost every day! And brought him a lot of things! This Liang killed his daughter, does this old man Wang have a problem with his brain? How could he be so kind to his enemies? ”

Hearing this, Shen Huan was not surprised, and asked Xing Zhutou, "Do you remember the gambler who killed your father?"

"Of course I do! It's only been a few days! How could you forget! I remember that you were the one who locked the murderer as the son of the deceased through that basket of eggs! ”

"Actually, there are some similarities between the two cases, when I saw the basket of eggs in the gambler's house, I knew that the murderer was the gambler, and this time I also helped me lock the murderer by dropping the basket of eggs in front of the king's house. Think about it, Wang Ping chose to sell herself and mix with Xu Jiawei for the sake of A Hibiscus Cream, Wang Ping was a yellow flower girl back then, and she had a marriage contract, what a scandal it would be if this matter got out! How could the father and daughter of the Wang family leave the door open when they quarreled! Since the door is closed, even if Wang Laohan wants to throw eggs, he will at most throw them in the courtyard, and it is impossible to throw them outside! So when I learned this news from the mouth of the neighbor of the Wang family, I concluded that there was still a person outside the door when the father and daughter of the Wang family were arguing! And that person can only be Liang Ke! At that time, Liang Ke was very shocked after hearing the truth about Wang Ping's repentance, so those eggs fell from his hands. However, Liang Ke was outside the door at the time, in fact, Wang Laohan also knew, and he, like me, also confirmed it through those eggs! But do you know why Wang Laohan told the neighbors that he threw the eggs himself? ”

Song Shi and Xing Zhutou thought for a long time and didn't come up with any clues, seeing them like this, Shen Huan stopped selling Guanzi, "One of the reasons for this is that this matter is a family scandal and it is not easy to publicize it to the public. Second, he is also to protect Liang Ke! You think, since Wang Ping's death, her relics should be at home, and Wang Ping was even more defenseless when she died, and she could bring home those jade ornaments and gold and silver jewelry that Wang Ping wore before her death, and only she could be a murderer! So Wang Laohan knows this matter about Liang Ke's murderer of his daughter! It's just that he doesn't want to mention it......"

"Huh?"

Song Shi and Xing Zhutou both looked at Shen Huan in some surprise, they really couldn't believe that this could be the case! At this time, Song Shi suddenly remembered what Shen Huan had said, perhaps the most difficult thing in this world to understand is the human heart......

"And what about that playboy Xu Jia?" Xing Zhutou asked again.

"Since Wang Ping is dead, of course he will not let him go as the only witness and initiator of the year, I think Liang Ke should have buried him somewhere in that courtyard after killing him, you take someone to dig it, it shouldn't be ......wrong."

After getting Shen Huan's hint, Xing Zhutou took his brothers in the yamen to Xu Jia's old house early the next morning, and after a whole day of excavation, they really found Xu Jia, who had been dead for thirteen years, in the soil under the wall in the courtyard! After the last deceased was identified, the horrific murder finally came to an end......

One afternoon a month later, Xing Zhutou accidentally met Fan Yizhi, who had gradually come out of his grief, unlike before, Fan Yizhi no longer looked cringe like before, and the whole person exuded a confident look! It turned out that Shen Huan brought white silk to wrap Fan Hongshuang's body inadvertently, which made everyone have a misunderstanding of Fan Hongshuang, everyone thought that the so-called pheasant was just a rumor made up by someone with a heart to smear the Fan family!

Hearing this, Xing Zhutou understood why Shen Huan wanted Liu Zhixian to close the gate of the county government at that time, his purpose was to protect Fan Hongshuang's noble heart from being tainted by gossip! And the same is true for those pheasants who died like Fan Hongshuang, no matter what happened to them in their lifetime, these people are some poor families, just to find a way to live and embarked on this road, since the people are gone, then it is better to let them come innocently and go cleanly......

The autumn rainy season is coming to an end, and the sunset at dusk indicates that tomorrow will be a sunny day!

Looking at Shen Huan, who was leaning motionless in front of the window, Song Shi asked curiously, "What are you thinking about when this case is solved?"

"I'm wondering where Xu Jia and Liang Ke got those anesthetics and hibiscus ointment......"

Looking at this fiery sunset, for some reason, Shen Huan always felt an ominous premonition, as if he was going to devour himself......
