Chapter 152: Enter the Chu family to check

After Aunt Shang finished speaking, Li Rizhi was still noncommittal and did not make a clear statement, but this time not only was he suspicious, but even Quan Shufang heard that something was wrong!

Fu Guibao opened his mouth to be sarcastic, but was stopped by Li Rizhi with his eyes, at this time there is no need to stimulate Aunt Shang, as a mother, unconditionally believe in her son, there is nothing wrong with this kind of behavior, but what kind of consequences this behavior will bring, that is another matter.

Quan Shufang didn't see Li Rizhi's eyes, he heard that something was wrong, and asked: "Aunt Shang, everything is said by your son, only what he says is the truth, in what others say, what you say is that your son is good, and if you say that your son is bad, then it is all framed, right?" ”

Aunt Shang looked at Quan Shufang and nodded: "Yes, my family Wenbin is so good, it is impossible for him to lie, just because he is the best, so others will be jealous of him, hate him, and say bad things about him, they are all bad people who fall into the ground, of course what they say is framed, the county order listened to the rumors and sentenced my family Wenbin to death, he is a faint official!" ”

After she finished speaking, the cold sweat on Fang Fang's forehead came out when he brushed the ground, he almost fainted, at this time he regretted that he was nosy, he really should be like Fu Guibao said, after coming out of the thatched house, he should go to wash his buttocks, what are you doing in this limelight, this Aunt Shang is sick in the brain, and now it seems that her brain is not very healthy!

Fu Guibao doesn't care about any face-saving, and Aunt Shang's words can't squeeze him, he knows to Li Ri: "Big brother, then do we still have to go to Chu Qiangyuan's house to have a look?" I don't think so! ”

If you look at the performance of Aunt Shang, then the son taught by someone like her will not have a good character nine times out of ten, maybe he really did that kind of thing that hurts the heavens and reason, and the Huayin County Order is not wrong, so why do they have to do a lot of trouble, there is no need for this!

Li Rizhi frowned slightly, and said: "It's okay, it's okay to go and see, after we conduct an investigation, if anyone wants to embarrass the Huayin County Order in the future, then our investigation may help him!" ”

He didn't say this clearly, but Fu Guibao and they all understood the meaning, this Aunt Shang was confused about her son's affairs, but she was not necessarily confused about other things, her various behaviors were all thinking about overturning the case, including pretending to be pitiful on the street, wanting to attract the attention of the criminal department waiter who visited Weifu privately, and so on, although they all failed, who can guarantee that she will not think of other ways again!

If she really came up with a way to turn the case overturned, then the first person to be held accountable is the Huayin County Order, Li Rizhi wants to investigate, and if the investigation can't find anything, if you can investigate some clues, then you may be able to help the Huayin County Order in the future.

Therefore, now that I want to go to Chu Qiangyuan's house to investigate, I am no longer helping Aunt Shang, but helping the Huayin County Order.

However, Aunt Shang didn't understand the meaning of these words, she was in a hurry to go to Chu Qiangyuan's house now, as long as it had nothing to do with her son, she would turn a deaf ear.

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi hummed at the same time, followed Li Rizhi to set off, Chen Yingying followed closely behind, Quan Shufang hesitated, he now deeply regrets Guan Shang's idle affairs, and wants to quit, it can be seen that Li Rizhi and they set off, and he had to follow hard, after all, this matter was caused by him, and it was he who caused the trouble.

Aunt Shang led the way in front, and said as she walked that Chu Qiangyuan's family was so rich, so Chu Qiangyuan must be a corrupt official, and he didn't know how to fish the people in the county government of Zheng County.

Li Rizhi and the others didn't speak, anyway, what she wanted to say, she just sent it as she said, this old woman was too unreliable to speak, they could be regarded as enlightened.

Chu Qiangyuan's house is not close, he walked for nearly three quarters of an hour, and then he came to Chu's house, although the place where the Chu family lives is not the center of Huayin County, but the houses here are really good, weeping willows everywhere, there is a small river, there are several mansions along the river, one of which is Chu Qiangyuan's house.

Aunt Shang pointed to a big mansion and said, "Look at it, this house belongs to Chu Qiangyuan's family, how many people have been embezzled to build such a big mansion!" ”

Li Rizhi looked at this house, judging from the appearance, it is really a few years old, and it is said that the hundred-year-old mansion is believed by people, and it is absolutely impossible for Chu Qiangyuan to build it, unless the Chu family has been an official for several generations, otherwise it is really impossible for this house to be built with people's fat and people's ointment.

When he arrived at the door of the Chu house, Li Rizhi stepped forward and knocked on the door, knocked for a long time, but no one answered in the house, Li Rizhi turned around and asked Aunt Shang: "This gate is not locked, but no one answers the door inside, is there no servant in the Chu family?" ”

Aunt Shang said: "Yes, there are several servants in his family, probably because no one lives in this house, so Chu Qiangyuan took all the servants away, but in this house, there is an old man who guards the door, and his ears and eyes are not good, so it is quite difficult to knock on the door of his Chu family." ”

Li Rizhi hummed, thought about it, he no longer knocked on the door, but found a stone on the ground and threw it into the yard, he threw it at the tile above the gatehouse, the stone fell on the tile, the bone fell a few times, clicked, fell to the ground again, and then a few more bones, and stopped in the middle of the courtyard.

There was a sound from the concierge immediately, presumably the old man who guarded the door knew that someone was coming outside, even if he stayed in the house, he was deaf and his eyes were not good, and he couldn't find anyone knocking on the door, but there was a vibration on the tiles above his head, and there were stones falling to the ground outside the window, he would definitely find it, of course, if he fell asleep, it would be another matter.

The sound of footsteps came, someone slowly walked to the door, followed by the sound of taking down the latch, and then there was a soft creak, the door of the Chu family opened, revealing an old man with white hair inside, the old man looked at the people outside and asked, "Who are you looking for?" "He spoke loudly, like a man with bad ears, and his eyes were squinted, as if his eyes were really not good.

Li Rizhi arched his hand at him and said, "May I ask if this is the home of Cheng of Zheng County and Chu County?" ”

The old man said: "Yes, it's Chu County's home, but he's not here, if you want to find him, you have to go to Zheng County!" ”

Li Rizhi's voice was not loud, but the old man was able to answer, and there was no interruption, which shows that the old man's eyes can clearly see the characters who are close, and by looking at the shape of his mouth, he can also guess what others are saying, which is still good, and he can be hooked.

Aunt Shang wanted to squeeze in the back, but was stopped by Cheng Zizi, signaling her not to speak, just deal with anything Li Rizhi, and others should not get involved, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Ri knew: "That's the case, your lord wants to sell this house, and I want to buy it, so I specially brought someone to see the house today, if it's convenient for you, let's go in and have a look!" ”

The old man was taken aback, he didn't expect that Li Rizhi was tricking him, it is estimated that he has lived for such a long time, and he never thought that someone would go to the county Cheng's house to deceive people, or use the reason of buying a house.

However, it is also impossible to let him let such a large group of people in immediately, fortunately his eyes are not good, otherwise when he sees Aunt Shang at the back, then he will immediately know that Li Rizhi is tricking him.

Li Rizhi said again: "Your lord said that this house is a murderous house, and there are dead people in it, but I am not afraid, I just care that the price of this house is not too high, that's it, I came from Zheng County to see the house, your lord said that as long as you notify you, you can let us go in and have a look." ”

The old man had a hard time hearing this, and he didn't see Li Rizhi's mouth very clearly, but it probably meant that Chu Qiangyuan asked them to come, but he understood, sighed, let open the door, and let Li Rizhi let them in.

Li Rizhi turned around and blocked the old man's gaze with his body, although the old man's eyes were not good, he still blocked the old man, and then said to Aunt Shang: "You wait outside, go farther, don't let the people around here notice people, let's go in and take a look, come out, if you are found out and drive us out, you won't be able to fight a lawsuit for your son!" ”

Aunt Shang didn't want to leave, and she also wanted to go in and have a look, but when she heard this, she quickly nodded in agreement, lowered her head, and walked away from afar, trying not to attract people's attention and not to cause trouble to Li Rizhi.

Li Rizhi entered the Chu house and found that the inside was not as big as it looked from the outside, looking at the layout, it should be a courtyard with two entrances in the front and back, and there should be a garden in the backyard, but I don't know where the scene was at the time of the crime.

Li Rizhi asked the old man and said: "I heard your master say that your wife died in this house, not a normal birth, old age, sickness and death, but was killed, so this house became a murderous house, so where was your wife killed in the first place?" ”

This sentence is a little more complicated, the old man must not be able to hear it clearly, looking at Li Rizhi's mouth shape is also quite difficult, Li Rizhi had to slow down the speed of speech, and spoke again, the old man then understood, took them around the side door, and came to the backyard, the backyard is where the master's bedroom is located, a very elegant few houses, all of which are main houses.

The old man opened the door in the middle and asked Li Rizhi to let them in, and saw that the room was not too big, and there were very few things in it, this room was very large, with carpets on the floor, and a low table, and a big bed against the wall, but there were no daily utensils such as cups and teacups, and it was estimated that they were all cleaned up, after all, there were no more people living in this house, so there was no need to put too many things.

Li Rizhi quickly glanced at the furnishings in the room, and found nothing abnormal, a bedroom that was a little extravagant, but not too extravagant, quite in line with Chu Qiangyuan's identity as a county cheng.

The old man led them through the house until they came to the back wall, where there was a small door, and the old man pointed to the small station and said, "This is where my wife was killed!" ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "There is a back door in the bedroom, this kind of design is not common, but where does this back door lead, it won't be the back garden, right?" ”

He stepped forward and opened the latch, the brass latch was quite strong, if the back door was closed, then even if two strong men outside slammed the door together, as long as they didn't use tools, it was really unlikely to break in!

Li Rizhi opened the small door, and what caught his eye was indeed the back garden, but the back garden was not small, accounting for almost half of the size of the whole house, there were many trees, as well as flower beds, rockeries and a small pond, and there were fish in the pond, a very exquisite garden.

Li Rizhi turned around and said: "Look at this garden, this is enjoyment, this kind of arrangement at home, it can be seen that Chu Qiangyuan is indeed a person who can enjoy." ”

Fu Guibao and they nodded together, this garden is really beautiful, this is all the appearance after losing maintenance, it is already so exquisite, it must be even more beautiful in its heyday.

Suddenly, the old man said: "This son, the place where you are standing is the place where my wife was killed, and now there is no blood on the ground, but it was a big pool of blood at that time!" ”
