Chapter Ninety-Seven: Waves Again

After lunch, Xia Ji just wanted to lie down and take a lunch break, Chun'e knocked on the door and came in, telling her that there was a soldier at the gate of the courtyard to report, saying that Ling Shi wanted to see the master, and Xia Ji asked the soldiers to convey that Master Sima was not there, and asked Ling Shi to come back another day, but the soldier said that Ling Shi wanted to see Mrs. Xia.

Xia Ji didn't know what was going on with Ling Shi, so she had to order the soldiers to let Ling Shi come to the lobby.

After a while, Ling Shi Hanhe came to the lobby with another person wearing a similar official uniform to him.

"Mrs. Xia has an auspicious New Year. This is Lord Inspector Shangguan Yun. Ling Shi and the supervisor bowed to Xia Ji, and Ling Shi Hanhe introduced the officials who came with him to Xia Ji.

"Make the New Year auspicious for Lord Shi Han and the Inspector Shangguan auspicious. Ling Shi and the two adults, I don't know what business they do? Natsuhime asked after returning the salute.

"Mrs. Xia, I came today, first, to greet you for the New Year, and secondly, to visit if you have something to do." Ling Shi said.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Natsuhime asked.

"Mrs. Xia, the previous official verified the identity of Kong Du, but it was a one-person judgment at that time, and there was no circumstantial evidence, and the supervision could not recognize it. I came to the house today, because Kong Du's body was still in the morgue in the backyard, so I came to verify it at the same time as the superintendent, so as not to make mistakes. When he said this, Ling Shi's eyes were obviously a little unnaturally flustered, as if he was hiding something.

"Oh, I see. Let Lord Shi and the Inspector go straight to verify, the concubine is a person without official or position, and there is no need for the concubine's approval. Natsuhime said.

"To handle a case in your mansion, of course, you have to get the approval of the master." The Inspector said.

The words spoken by the two court officials were impeccable. But Xia Ji faintly felt that they were so eager, and the unnaturalness in her eyes made her suspicious. Besides, Kong Du's body could have been dragged away for burial two days earlier, but his family somehow never came forward, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.

Xia Ji kept an eye on it, and under the pretext of getting the key to let the two adults rest for a while, she went to Kong Du's morgue and quietly turned on the mobile phone camera and put it in a hidden place to face Kong Du.

After Xia Ji returned to the lobby, she asked Ling Shi and the inspector to go to Kong Du's morgue.

After about half an hour, the two adults also returned to the lobby and said goodbye to Natsuhime.

After Ling Shi and the two adults left, Xia Ji retrieved her mobile phone and played back the autopsy of the two of them just now, and was surprised to find that after the two entered the morgue, they did not check the body at all, but had been discussing how to overturn Wang Xin's previous judgment of strangling Kong Du, in order to find a reason for Kong Du's suicide.

Before the two of them left the morgue, the two took out a white cloth, stained Kong Du's thumb with red mud and covered it with a handprint on the white cloth.

Xia Ji felt that this matter was starting to get complicated, it seemed that someone was trying to falsify evidence to deliberately erase the facts, although I don't know what the motive was, but it was obviously not good for Xia Fu.

Ling Shi and the supervisor walked for about two hours, and Kong Du's family came to pull the body. This made Xia Ji feel that the reason why the Kong family took Kong Du away now was deliberately waiting for a new autopsy.

When the Kong family pulled the body out of the backyard, Xia Ji asked Jiang Lu to send someone to quietly follow him to see where they buried Kong Du's body.

Xia Ji judged that within a few days, someone would definitely jump out and announce that Kong Du had committed suicide.

Natsuhime was in a bad mood when she saw these negative things. It is obvious that the manipulation of the case is for their own selfishness, and the victim must be an innocent person.

Seeing that it was still early, she took Chun'e and Xia Chan and took a walk around the outside of the hospital to dispel the depression in her heart.

The vicinity of Xia Fu was a residential area, and because the society at that time was heavy on agriculture and light on commerce, commercial activities were demarcated in a separate area, and commercial operations were not allowed in the residential area, so there were no shops here.

Xia Ji and her maid walked between these houses, which was completely different from the situation in the Xia Mansion. Here, there are no water, electricity, roads and flat sites in modern society, and there are no sewers, and the mess and sanitation conditions make Xia Ji, a person from modern society, feel shocked.

And the poverty of the residents made Xia Ji feel a tingling feeling in her heart. Last year's autumn harvest had already passed nearly half a year, and spring sowing had not yet begun, so the peasants and citizens who did not have sufficient surplus grain to prepare had no choice but to beg.

Although it is still during the Chinese New Year, there are still many beggars walking through here, knocking on the doors of those residents and stretching out bowls to beg for food, most of the residents either open the door and refuse, or do not even open the door, and occasionally the residents open the door to give them, at most they are only chaff nests or gruel, which shows that these residents themselves are also unable to protect themselves.

Seeing this, Xia Ji really couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately turned around with Chun'e and Xia Chan and went back to Xia's mansion and asked Chun'e to summon Jiang Lu.

"Jiang Lu, you immediately ask Jiang Wei and them to boil a few large pots of porridge, not too thin and not too thick, set up a porridge stall at the gate of Xia Mansion, and give those begging people a mouthful of porridge to drink."

"It's... Mrs. Xia, once this porridge stall is spread by beggars, I am afraid that the order at the gate of Xia Mansion will be difficult to control, because there are too many beggars. ”

"So what can you do? It not only gives those beggars who need help a sip of porridge, but also does not affect the order of the gate of the Xia Mansion. ”

"There is a room next to the side door of the Xia Mansion, the window of this room is very low, and it can be changed into a special porridge window, so that even if it is very chaotic outside, it will not affect the Xia Mansion, and when the time comes, it will be enough to send two soldiers outside the window to maintain order."

"That's a good idea, so let's do it."

"But, Mrs. Xia, what kind of grain is this porridge made of?"

"What kind of food is there in the house now? Which surplus food is more? ”

"There are millet, millet, wheat, soybean, and rice in the house, and there is more wheat."

"Let's use the microphone." Natsuhime knew that the yield of rice was too low and the price was high, and if she used rice in large quantities to make porridge, she would be overwhelmed.

"Okay, I'll go and let Jiang Wei boil porridge, and then vacate that room."

"After you finish these two things, go to the market and buy some porridge and come back, don't buy too expensive food."

"How much to buy? Mrs. Xia. ”

"Let's buy a carriage first." Natsuhime commanded.

After arranging the porridge, Xia Ji felt a lot more relieved. She didn't want to get any credit for this, but she really couldn't stand the embarrassment and helpless eyes of those poor people who were cornered.
