Chapter 102: Cangzhou Trip [Miao County Chapter (II)]
But he said that when he heard Wang Shouye get straight to the point and directly asked about the case of abandoned babies, Su Mingyi also smiled and told the results of the investigation in the past few days.
After confirming that the frequent occurrence of abandoned babies seemed to be related to outsiders, Su Mingyi ordered people to carry out a thorough investigation in Miao County, especially near Liuli Bridge.
As a result, there was no news for two days.
It is basically certain that those outsiders did not settle in Miao County, and only when they committed crimes, they would go deep into the territory of Miao County.
So the direction of the investigation was changed to interrogate the local people and merchants who had passed near the Liuli Bridge before and after the incident, and whether they had encountered suspicious people with a capital accent on the road.
This time it quickly paid off.
According to the memories of a vegetable seller who rushed to the county seat before dawn, he once bumped into a group of sneaky outsiders on the way.
Whether it was a Beijing accent or not, he didn't hear it clearly.
But at that time, there was a woman in the carriage crying, saying something: 'I don't believe that Xu Xiangguild will treat me like this, let alone believe that he will be so vicious and want to kill ......'
After hearing only half of this, the woman was covered by someone, and the vegetable seller felt that the situation was not right, and was afraid of causing some trouble, so he hurried the mule cart to the fork in the road, taking advantage of the distance between the two sides.
Speaking of this, Su Mingyi suppressed his voice and said: "The hawker thought that what they wanted was the woman's life, but when the official thought about it carefully, he was afraid that it was not so simple. ”
Naturally, it's not that simple!
Wang Shouye only felt creepy for a while.
When he heard that someone had drowned several babies at Liuli Bridge in order to cultivate human-faced fish, he already felt that the other party was mad.
Now it seems that he has underestimated the degree of ruthlessness of the other party!
This is obviously afraid that the imitation will not be in place, so he deliberately found a man and woman who fornicated and became pregnant-most of the men are still a showman-and then forced the woman to drown her own flesh and blood in the name of the other party's lover!
I don't know if the prime minister knows about this kind of unconscionable practice.
I think most of them are also the masters who are being used, after all, if you want to catch a human face fish in the future, you have to let it be bait.
And if the famous Xiucai is still like this, how can the woman save her life?
I'm afraid that in the end, this family of three will inevitably be reunited in the underworld.
"It's really a beast!"
Wang Shouye slapped it on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Dare to ask the county honor, can you find other clues in addition?" ”
"Well, I didn't find anything on the side."
Su Mingyi shook his head at first, and then said with a straight face: "But the known clues are pieced together, and those people may have settled in Tongzhou." ”
Tongzhou?
Wang Shouye blurted out and asked, "Did the county lord ever inform the Tongzhou government?" ”
"What ...... this?"
Su Mingyi said: "Because the matter is big, there is no conclusive evidence at the moment, proving that those babies who drowned in the Zhigou River are not ordinary abandoned babies - after all, in the Zhigou River before, there would be abandoned babies floating down the river every once in a while. ”
Having said all this, in fact, there are two real reasons.
First, seeing that Wang Shouye suddenly climbed to a high-ranking position in the fifth grade from a grass people, and obviously had a bright future in the future, Su Mingyi couldn't help but move his mind, thinking about relying on these gods and ghosts to make a contribution and make a step forward.
With such thoughts, he naturally did not want to get a piece of the Tongzhou side.
The second is the inherent 'education' discrimination in officialdom.
That Tongzhou Zhizhou failed to test three times, and was selected by the 'big pick', so he became the seat of the Wupin Zhizhou.
In the eyes of Su Mingyi, who was born in Jinshi, he belongs to the Xunchen who is fortunate to be in the company, and he has always been ashamed and companion - in fact, the main thing is envy, jealousy and hatred, if the other party is just a county Cheng, not a Zhizhou from Wupin, he may not be so mustard.
said that he didn't know that he would be able to pass through the state government, but Wang Shouye was a little lucky.
After all, most of the masterminds behind the scenes are also officials of the DPRK and China, who knows if his subordinates are colluded with Tongzhou?
If you rashly apply for assistance, you may be surprised......
Belch~
In fact, the investigation here in Miao County is likely to have been shocked.
Thinking of this, Wang Shouye immediately said: "Su Xianzun, this case is very important, and it really can't be delayed, according to my intentions, it is better to send someone to Tongzhou to investigate and secretly visit." ”
After a pause, he arched his hand at Su Mingyi again: "Wang was ordered to leave Beijing on an errand this time, and the people around him are still of great use, so I am afraid that I can only transfer Zhao Kui and Zhao Dushi for the time being, as well as two internal guards from Jinyiwei, and the rest of the manpower can only be filled by the county." ”
Su Mingyi sent someone to the capital to inform him, instead of going directly to the imperial court, with the idea of getting some credit from it.
Therefore, Wang Shouye's words hit his heart, and he immediately said impassionedly: "What did Wang Shoubei say? Those frenzied murderers are harming the county, and Su, as a parent official, is duty-bound! ”
At that moment, the two of them each called Zhao Kui and Zhao Sanli's uncle and nephew, and ordered them to rush to Tongzhou to find out the whereabouts of those people.
"After finding out, don't startle the snake first."
Wang Shouye finally admonished: "If nothing else, they should come to Miao County in a few days to make trouble, and then they should cooperate with the outside and take his personal stolen goods and get it too late!" ”
The uncles and nephews of the Zhao family responded in unison, and then they ordered the elite in the county, returned to the county government to pack their bags, and hurried to Tongzhou to visit.
And after the Zhao family's uncle and nephew left, Wang Shouye did not stay in Miao County for a long time - after all, only by solving the errand in Cangzhou as soon as possible could he rush back to Miao County as soon as possible.
Therefore, after having a light meal with Su Mingyi in Yingbin Building, Wang Shouye re-boarded the ship and rushed to Cangzhou overnight.
…………
It's night.
In Cangzhou City, in an empty and lonely garden, a woman with a big waist and a round waist threw away her shovel out of breath, turned around and dragged out the corpse of a small hat in a green coat from the flower garden.
Salads, salads......
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and snow fell from the treetops.
The woman was frightened, and threw the body away from her, and fell to the ground and clung to the shovel.
It took a long time for her to breathe a sigh of relief, and once again she wrapped her arms around the corpse and dragged it to the pit that had just been dug.
She looked at the bottom of the pit, and then at the corpse in her arms, with a look of hesitation on her face, obviously thinking that the pit had been dug a little shallowly.
But the body is really weak, and if you have to dig deeper, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it.
Finally, she sighed silently, gritted her teeth and pushed the corpse to the bottom of the pit.
Then he picked up a shovel and shoveled the floating soil next to it, but he was reluctant to raise it at the bottom of the pit.
For a long time, the woman slowly squatted beside the pit with a shovel, looked at the delicate face of the corpse, and said to herself: "I actually can't bear you, but ...... But who let you ...... Alas! What a sin! ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand to her chin, but then she shrank back like an electric shock, gritting her teeth and scooping up the floating earth to cover the corpse.
One, two, three......
Hee-hee~
Seeing that the corpse was mostly covered, a laugh suddenly reached the woman's ears.
The woman froze, looking around in fear, but she saw that the garden was silent, and there was not half a figure in sight.
The woman hesitated, but then lowered her voice and asked, "Who?" Who was laughing just now?! ”
At the same time, she clenched the shovel in her hand again.
However, after a while, there was still silence in all directions.
Did you hear it wrong?
The woman looked at the corpse at the bottom of the pit, gritted her teeth, and brandished the shovel again, and quickly filled the hole and compacted it, and moved some withered weeds to it.
Then she carried a shovel and carefully inspected the garden, and made sure that there was no one hiding in the corners, so she changed her outfit and hurried out of the garden.
Hee-hee~
Not long after the woman left, there was a mischievous laughter in the silent garden.
