Chapter 448: Murder in the Plains (Second Update)
Three days later, in the plain city of Pingyuan County, Qingzhou, on the bustling streets, Yuan Xi came here with his group.
"Lonely! Oh! I heard that Uncle Liu Huang had served as the commander of Pingyuan County" Yuan Xi suddenly asked softly, his eyes looking at Zhang Fei, who was vigilant in all directions.
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and said: "Yes, son, the eldest brother followed Tian Kai back then, and later Cao Cao's soldiers slaughtered Xuzhou, and the eldest brother led the troops to the rescue, and since then he has left."
"I see, Uncle Huang's benevolence and righteousness are admired by the world" Yuan Xi praised with a sincere face, and seemed to have completely forgotten that it was the killing order he ordered under the military command to make Liu Bei hate Yecheng.
Who is the thickest skinned in this world, that is, these overlords, they contain too many secrets and too much darkness in their hearts, and what is not recorded in the history books at this time is only their benevolence, love for the people, kindness, and justice.
"Gongzi Xie praises," Zhang Fei said gratefully.
"Childe, along the way, the Taishou and county orders in various places are still very responsible, this plain city was not so prosperous before" Tian Feng opened his mouth and praised.
"Who is the Taishou of Plains County?" Yuan Xi nodded and asked, the current Taishou of a county, it is really difficult for him to remember them one by one.
"Great King, have you forgotten that the current Taishou of Pingyuan County is the son of the adult, Juhui, who is in the top fifty in the big exam, and you personally ordered it," Han Yan reminded with a smile.
"Oh! Yes, yes, I think about it, Zijie was arranged here" Yuan Xi reacted, because of the death of the trial, Yuan Xi was a little sorry for the judge, so after Xianhui passed the big exam, he was directly promoted to a county guard, which is in addition to the top three, other students are far from being comparable, and it happened that the Pingyuan County Taishou resigned at that time, so Xianhui immediately became the head of a county from a down-and-out son of a family.
"Looking at the situation now, Shen Taishou has done a good job and has lived up to his father's prestige," Pang Tong praised.
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Shang Shutai should pay more attention to these junjie below, if they are talented and capable, when the time comes, they will be promoted."
"Understood," Han Yan said with a smile.
Tian Feng, who didn't speak on the side, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and showed a hint of relief on his face, the trial had a good relationship with him, and the trial was his nephew, and he had always paid close attention to him Tian Feng, but he needed to avoid suspicion in this kind of thing, and it was inconvenient to talk about it.
After the group walked a distance, they suddenly saw a house not far from the left, many people were gathered together, as if they were watching the excitement, but the surprise on their faces didn't seem to be very similar.
"What's going on?" Yuan Xi said curiously.
"Childe, Yi go and ask" Sima Yi immediately ran into the crowd.
After a while, Sima Yi walked back and said solemnly: "Son, there is a murder case, a young woman hanged herself, and the official has already arrived."
Yuan Xi frowned and said, "Let's go, let's take a look."
"No!"
After the group came to the crowd, Zhang Fei and Hu Niu'er immediately squeezed a road with the soldiers of the Shenwei Army, and the people were still a little dissatisfied at first, but when they saw Zhang Fei and Hu Niu'er's fierce and vicious faces, they suddenly consciously let go of the way.
When Yuan Xi led people to the outside of the house, he saw two officials guarding the door, maintaining order.
"If you want to say that this Li Lao Liu, it's really unlucky, I married a daughter-in-law at the age of thirty, but I didn't expect that after only two years, my daughter-in-law was seriously ill"
"This Liu family is also suffering, it is estimated that he can't survive anymore, so he hanged himself"
"yes!".
Hearing the surrounding discussions, a trace of seriousness flashed on Yuan Xi's face, in this era, the most feared thing is to get sick! One is the slow development of medical treatment, and the other is that it costs a lot of money to see a doctor, which ordinary families cannot afford, so many people do not die of illness, but are directly dragged to death.
"Take him down" At this time, a voice that seemed familiar sounded in Yuan Xi's ears, and he saw a thin man dressed as a farmer suddenly rushing out of the house with a panicked face, and the guards immediately rushed up and grabbed him.
"Is it Li Lao Liu?"
"What's going on?"
The people were amazed.
"Let go, let go, I'm not a murderer, how could I kill my daughter-in-law" Li Lao Liu struggled violently.
"Yes! Li Lao Liu is good to his daughter-in-law."
"You can't wronged a good person!"
The surrounding people suddenly stopped doing something, and they all spoke out one after another.
At this moment, a man with a short beard, wearing a soap suit, and holding a wine jug in his hand, who seemed to be a little confused and looked quite defeated, walked out.
After hearing the dissatisfaction around him, a sneer appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, and he said, "Li Lao Liu, you mean to frame you."
"Yes, the adults made a mistake" Li Lao Liu said unwillingly.
"Then why are you running," the man said solemnly.
"I, I was scared," Li Lao Liu hurriedly said.
"Yes" The man stood up, looked at the gathered people and said, "You don't seem to believe it, let's come in and have a look"
Hearing this, the people immediately followed in with curiosity, and Yuan Xi looked at the official in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"King, this person is so familiar! It seems that I have seen it somewhere," Han Yan suddenly said softly.
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look."
"No!"
After coming to the main hall in the house, Li Laoliu was thrown to the ground by the officials, and saw a middle-aged woman hanging from a rope on the hanging beam at this time, which aroused a lot of fear.
The man pointed to the corpse and said, "Li Lao Liu, you said that after you came back from doing business outside, you saw your wife hanging on the hanging beam, right?" ”
"Yes, she doesn't want to bother me!" Li Laoliu cried bitterly.
The man shook his head and smiled, and said, "You are a vegetable seller, you must bring a basket when you go out, and I asked you, after you come back, where is the basket?"
Li Laoliu's pupils shrank, and he said, "I was too scared at that time, so I don't remember it."
"I don't remember, that so-and-so came to tell you, your basket is now neatly placed in the side room, you said that you were too scared, so when you saw that scene, you immediately reported to the yamen, then your basket should have fallen at the door, but now it is not, don't tell so-and-so, your wife is dead, you still have the heart to honestly tidy up the house" The man sneered.
Li Lao Liu trembled and said, "This may be a favor from the left leader and the right side."
Hearing this, the man nodded and said, "I knew that you would say this, and it was indeed possible, but if so, it was indeed inappropriate to condemn you."
"So" The man suddenly walked to the side of the small wooden stool that was used as a stepping foot under the corpse, and after suddenly straightening it, many people were shocked, only to see that the stool was still quite far from Liu's legs, which means that it was impossible for Liu to hang himself with this small wooden stool.
Yuan Xi saw this scene, looked at the trace of confidence on the man's face, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after a few words of instructions to Hu Niu'er next to him, he left directly with the person.
At this time, the man also happened to look up at Yuan Xi's back, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Adult, the little one is just confused for a while, please spare the little one's life!" Seeing this scene, Li Laoliu suddenly trembled and cried and begged for mercy.
Hearing this, the people were immediately furious.
"You're such a human-faced beast! Although your wife is seriously ill, she is not tired of the family, and you actually killed her, how can you bear it?"
"We're really scared"
After the man was awakened by the people, he looked at Li Lao Liu, who was kneeling and crying bitterly, and frowned: "Take it back to the yamen, put it in prison, and wait for it to fall."
"No!"
At this time, a servant suddenly knelt in front of the man and said in admiration: "Brother Xu, you are really like a god in judging cases!" Since you came, there have been no more unjust cases in the entire Pingyuan County."
The man was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and after helping the official up, he shook his head ashamedly, picked up the wine jug and drank it heavily, and then left slowly with some shaky under the admiring eyes of the people.
When the man came outside, Hu Niu'er suddenly led a few people to block in front of him, and said with a smile: "Lao Xu, I didn't expect you to hide here, do you remember?" ”
After the man's somewhat confused eyes looked carefully, he suddenly trembled, and the gourd fell lightly to the ground, and the wine swayed all over the ground.
