Chapter 376: First Passage
After Shi Zhen finished speaking, she took her leave, saying that someone would come to deliver the meal in a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info asked Fan Ying again whether to leave or stay. Fan Ying asked, "I damaged the cell door, shouldn't it be closed here?" ā
Shi Zhen said with a smile, "Where is it as serious as they say, this matter can be big or small, and they are negligent first, so I will let people fix it." Liu Yuru and the others listened to it and knew that this was what Shi Dutou had spoken again, and they couldn't help but feel even more grateful. Because this sentence "can be big or small", if it is big, it can be said to be a robbery, and if it is small, it can be said to be an accident, which is a world of difference.
Shi Zhen said to Fan Ying, "It's okay if you want to stay here, but it's not very convenient to go in and out, especially at night, there is only one jailer on duty here, and it's far away, so it's not too important for him to trouble, I'm afraid that the little lady will be in trouble." ā
His words were tactful, but that was the case. Fan Ying said, it doesn't matter, I'll live here with my sister.
After Shi Zhen left, a jailer locked the cell door with chains outside. Liu Yuru said, "Sister, you should be outside, and some things can be known as soon as possible." ā
But Fan Ying was fine, and whispered to Liu Yuru, "How can I be locked up here!" When Liu Yuru heard this, she said, "You are not allowed to break the prison door again!" āć
Fan Ying even said no, Liu Yuru didn't know how she could get out in addition to this method. After a while, a jailer came over with two meals. The man spoke very politely, without the commanding posture of those men, put down the meal, and locked the prison door.
Liu Yuru said, "This must have been explained by Shi Zhendu." ā
After eating, the two sisters went to the small patio outside, the small patio is really not big, seven steps long from north to south, only three steps wide from east to west, at this time the sun has moved out, and the small patio is a little dark inside.
On the north side of the patio is the toilet, on the south side is a hut, the door is locked, Shi Zhen said that the inside is a bathing room, according to the "Prison Officer's Order", "summer slurry drink, a month of bathing" Every prisoner can take a bath once a month, the sick are given medicine, the seriously ill are disarmed, and their family members are allowed to enter the service.
Fan Ying pointed to the two-zhang high walls on the east and west sides of the patio and said, "They are only three steps away, I can get out of here," and showed Liu Yuru as she spoke.
I saw her run two steps, her right foot stepped on the east wall three feet high, and with the momentum of her body, her body was forced, and her body floated towards the west wall. The left foot kicked on the west wall, several times in a row, the figure in a zigzag shape flickered to a place two feet high, and then did not go out, and fell back to Liu Yuru's side according to the original method, without any movement at all.
Liu Yuru knew that Fan Ying had kung fu, but this was the first time she had seen such kung fu, the wall of the patio went straight up and down, and she was a female eunuch, no one would have thought that she would go in and out here like walking on the ground.
Liu Yuru said happily, "Sister, I'm relieved to be in this way, they can't stop you." Fan Ying showed her hand in front of her sister, with the same look on her face as usual, and said to Liu Yuru, "The food in the prison is really not delicious, so I will secretly go out in the evening and bring some delicious food back to open a small stove." ā
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of the iron chain on the cell door, and the jailer opened the cell door and came in and said, "Dutou called to invite Mrs. Liu, saying that the master has been promoted." ā
Above the lobby of the county office, there was the county order, which was the person Liu Yuru saw on the road. The soap servants on both sides stood up straight with sticks, and after Tang Wei shouted, the county ordered, "Is it Mrs. Liu standing below?" Look and sit. ā
After someone moved the stool, Liu Yuru thanked him and sat down, and the county magistrate said, "The other official doesn't know very well, and he doesn't know what to call it." Fan Ying followed Liu Yuru to the lobby, and Liu Yuru replied, "Lord Hui, she is the third lady of my family, and my sister Fan Ying." ā
The county magistrate nodded and said straight to the point, "Regarding the murder of the old woman in Danfeng Town, after the on-site investigation by this official, it has been found that it has nothing to do with the two wives. Invite the two ladies over today, is to complete the necessary procedures, and then the two can leave, during which if there is any negligence in the office, please also ask the two ladies Haihan, and express the county's apologies to the tall people. ā
Liu Yuru couldn't imagine that things would come to an eye so quickly, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised by the efficiency of the county's affairs, she asked, "Don't hide it from your lord, some of the things that the old woman knows are exactly what our sisters want to know, I wonder if the adults can tell each other, who is the murderer?" ā
The county ordered, "Oh? So what did she say to you? ā
Liu Yuru said, "My lord, that old woman's memory is very bad, she remembers everything in half, sometimes she can't remember, sometimes the preface doesn't match the afterword, and our sisters are very confused. was about to ask carefully if she didn't want her to be killed, so the little woman wanted to know who the murderer was, and I wonder if the adults could tell her? ā
The county magistrate said, "There is nothing to say, or it has to be reported, you might as well let the two ladies know first." ā
"So, who is the murderer? Why do you want to kill the old woman? ā
"There are no murderers." The prefectural commander said calmly.
"Why? So why did the old woman die? ā
The county ordered, "The night is windy, the fish fly and the house is shaking, the old woman opens the door, the wind enters the basket, and the brain is smashed, which is really an accident." ā
Liu Yuru was stunned for a while when she heard the county order, "Mrs. Liu, there is no way to do this, no one can think of natural and man-made disasters." The old woman's death is a bit bizarre, she has no relatives alive, the county has already arranged it, and her future affairs will be handled by the county, and Mrs. Liu doesn't have to worry about it. ā
That's fine!
Liu Yuru was prompted, and after several filed copywriters and famous paintings, she and Fan Ying went out, and the county order ordered them to retreat. saw that Liu Yuru had already walked to the door, turned around again, saluted the county order, and said, "My lord, the little woman thinks that things are not so simple. ā
The county commander's face changed slightly, and he turned around and sat down again, "I don't know what else Mrs. Liu has to say?" ā
"Back to my lord, it was true that there was a strong wind that night, but the wind stopped at dawn. Then it would be inappropriate to say that the wind moves into the basket. ā
The county ordered, "What if she opens the door in the middle of the night when it is windy and wants to go to the courtyard to clean up the fallen fish?" ā
"My lord, when I first saw the body of the old woman lying to the ground, I noticed the blood stains flowing from the back of her head, obviously someone grabbed her feet and dragged her into the house, did the murderer pull her from the threshold to the house without wanting people to know?"
"This ......" the county magistrate hesitated a little, so he asked Dutou Shizhen, who was standing on the side, "Dutou, have you ever noticed?" ā
Shi Zhen bowed down and replied, "Hui Taiye, I didn't notice these things, maybe Mrs. Liu was wrong, and I was the first to go there, so I might as well ask him." ā
The prefectural order commanded, "Tell the servants to come up and ask questions." ā
After a while, Liu Yuru walked up to the hall as the last time she had seen her, and the county magistrate asked, "When you inspected the body of the old woman, did you notice whether she was dragged by someone?" ā
He replied, "Master, I really haven't seen any traces of dragging on the little one. ā
The county magistrate smiled and said to Liu Yuru, "Mrs. Liu, this county has always attached great importance to murders, and his subordinates have been doing this for a long time, so there should be no mistake, maybe Mrs. Liu, you are ......wrong" (to be continued.) )
