Chapter 17: The Past of the Han Family

Mr. Han's family moved to Yuping Village nineteen years ago, when Su Mingjie had just been elected as the village head, and Mr. Han wanted to settle down in the village, so he naturally found Su Mingjie.

Master Han was generous, I heard that he was still a housekeeper in a big family in the capital, Su Mingjie naturally didn't embarrass them too much, and he went through the procedures for them to settle down very happily.

After settling down, Master Han was building a house in the village, and he lived in the Su family during the period when the house was not built.

Su Mingjie knows more about Master Han's son than others, the child was just full moon at the time, pink, very cute, Master Han's family loves him very much, and generally will never let outsiders see it.

The child was not weaned at that time, Mrs. Han's milk was not enough, and Mr. Han wanted to find a nurse for the child, so he recommended a brother and daughter-in-law of his family who had just given birth to a child to be a nurse.

His brother and daughter-in-law are diligent people, and they usually clean up themselves and their children, so Master Han and Mrs. Han were very satisfied with her, so they agreed to keep her as a nurse.

Once he heard from the brother and daughter-in-law that her little master, that is, the child, had a birthmark on his left ankle, like a fruit that had been bitten.

This happened to be heard by Master Han, and he was furious and almost fired the nurse.

In the end, he repeatedly promised that he would not spread the matter, and his brother and daughter-in-law also said that they would never say anything about the young master to anyone again, and Master Han was relieved.

After the house was built, Mr. Han's family moved into the new house, and also took his brother's family over, the woman was the nurse, and the man helped Mr. Han run errands.

Not long after, there was a serious drought in this area, and the villagers sold their land to survive, and Master Han took out a large amount of savings to buy all the nearby land and became a big landlord in Yuping Village.

After the drought passed, Mr. Han gave the land to the villagers to plant, and only charged a rent that was one percent lower than others, and the villagers were naturally overjoyed and very grateful to Mr. Han's family.

Nineteen years have passed peacefully.

A few days ago, a fire suddenly ignited in Mr. Han's house, burning everyone in the Han family at the time, including the subordinates and children.

When Su Mingjie arrived with his people, other villagers had already taken the lead to lift out the people in each house and place them on the dismantled door panels.

At that time, people were so blackened that they couldn't even recognize who was who.

The villagers counted the corpses, a total of seventeen, except for one corpse with a wrench on its hand, which was recognized as Master Han's, so that the corpse was identified as Master Han, the other corpses could not be identified.

They originally planned to buy a coffin and bury everyone on a piece of mountain land that Master Han had bought before, which was said to be the cemetery he had chosen for himself a hundred years later, but they didn't expect it to come in handy early.

At this time, his nephew Su Yuancheng, the son of the little young master's nurse, came back from the town, looked through the corpse despite the dissuasion, and even took a knife to cut the throat of a corpse.

After checking it, he concluded that Master Han's family was not burned to death, but after the person died.

Naturally, many people did not believe what he said, and they asked him for evidence.

He said that he heard a doctor say in a carpenter shop in the town, saying that there will be soot in the throat of the burned person, and even if the dead person is burned, no soot will be sucked into the throat, and he also said that he smelled a kind of lamp oil in the yard, and someone must have poured oil, so the fire was so big, and even people took the yard and burned it to ruins.

Only then did everyone notice that there was indeed a strange smell in the yard, and at first they thought it was the smell of burning corpses, but when he said it, they found that it seemed to be the smell of fire oil.

Since Master Han's family did not die of a natural disaster, the people in the village who had received the favor of the Han family naturally did not agree to let them die in an unknown way, so they sued the official.

After the county government received the petition, they sent officials and servants.

After examining the corpses, he said that the corpses were indeed burned after death, and that the murderers were clearly intent on killing everyone, and that the methods of killing people were neat, as if they had been trained, and almost all of them were killed with a single knife.

The crowd was stunned.

Who is so vicious, what kind of hatred and hatred, even the child is not spared?

Later, the official didn't know what he found in the house, and after handing it over to the head catcher, a group of people were shocked and left.

After another day, he changed his tune and said that people were killed with knives before they were burned.

Two days later, the official document from the prefect's yamen came down, saying that Master Han's family was killed by bandits.

It is said that the government sent people to suppress the bandits, and Su Yuancheng followed them, vowing to avenge the Han family and his father and brother.

The rest of the villagers buried Mr. Han's family.

Su Mingjie spoke very carefully, and Wei Zhao and the others also listened very carefully, but when talking about the child's birthmark, Wei Zhao put the leg under the table and gently put it away.

That's right, I can't be wrong now, I have a birthmark on my left ankle that looks like a "love crazy" mobile phone logo.

"Have you found the money of Master Han's family in the Han family?" Wei Zhao suddenly asked.

Silver or other jewelry is not burned, Master Han is a landlord, there should be a lot of money at home, if the thieves rob, the silver will definitely be gone.

"Where did the money come from, Master Han said that he was a landlord, but he only had land, and he didn't do any other business, plus he was kind and charitable, and he didn't have much rent over the years, and he had to raise a large family, and everyone in the village knew that his family didn't have any silver at all. These bandits, I'm afraid they came for nothing. Alas, I killed so many people for nothing..."Su Mingjie shook his head and sighed, he really couldn't figure out why Luofeng Village, which had a good reputation, was suddenly so fierce.

When Wei Zhao heard this, he was even more sure that the destruction of the Han family was not done by the bandits.

The thieves did not go on a whim, they usually sent people to "step on the plate", to see which family had the money and the strength of the guards at home, and then they would go down the mountain to act.

If they all pick people at random like this, in case they meet a poor person who can't open the pot, or a family like Master Han's family who looks rich but actually loses, wouldn't it be a loss.

After all, robbery also requires capital, carts, horses, forage, manpower, weapons, and a large group of women and children in the village waiting to eat, if they run away, they can't accept it.

Therefore, the case of Master Han's family was not committed by a thief, and this Luofengzhai is only afraid that the real murderer has carried the black pot.

And the murderer has a lot of background, so the county government did not dare to make a judgment and reported it to the government office, and finally the government decided to let Luofeng Village take the blame.

I don't know what the origin of the original owner is, but he provoked someone who didn't even dare to offend the government and tried his best to protect it.

Wei Zhao suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether to continue to investigate.
