Li Mao was a witness at the scene and was implicated in this case, so he was taken to the second government for interrogation.

When Qin Niang heard that Li Mao was involved in a murder case, she was immediately frightened, and she resigned from Wei Shi early to wait outside the county office. It wasn't until the time when Li Mao was holding the lamp that he walked out dejectedly, Qin Niang hurriedly greeted him, and checked Li Mao up and down to confirm that there were no injuries, so he was a little relieved, and asked again: "Did Cui Shaofu beat you?" ”

Li Mao smiled: "I just went over to assist in the investigation of the case, why did you beat me?" Qin Niang said: "Did you kick that person?" Seeing Li Mao shaking his head, Qin Niangfang breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, it's not, it's really you who kicked it, it would be too damaging to yin morality." Li Mao said: "Although I didn't kick people, I also have sins, and I shouldn't have involved that honest man." ”

What happened to Su Xiaodu Qin Niang knows a little bit, Li Mao and Qingmo went to Su Xiaodu to investigate Su Cheng's crimes, but when they returned to the city, Li Mao was the only one, Qingmo is said to have stayed in a villager house to recuperate because of stomach pain. Afterwards, Qin Niang asked Qingmo, this little guy refused to say at first, and was coerced and lured by Qin Niang, which revealed a little bit of tone: he stayed in the house of a fisherman surnamed Han in Xiaogushan on the shore of Yanhu Lake, Li Mao persuaded the fisherman to take the carp to the Su family to sell, and confirmed Su Cheng's incriminating evidence, forcing the Su family to return the encroached Toda property, and demolished the earthen dam on the canal.

As for what means Li Mao used to persuade the fisherman surnamed Han, Qingmo refused to say anything if he was killed.

Seeing Li Mao blaming himself, Qin Niang comforted: "In the officialdom, few people are clean, if you want to do something in the officialdom, you will inevitably use some tricks, if you are too sincere, you can't do anything, you don't do this for personal gain in the end, don't blame yourself too much." Li Mao said: "Han Si agreed to help in order to raise his brother Han Yi's medical expenses, he originally thought that as long as he could hold the Su family and force him to fight up and down, it would be nothing to eat sixty sticks, who would have wanted to be kicked by Su Cheng." What's even more ridiculous is that Han Yi's stunned youth was coaxed by Su Cheng to kill me again, which caused today's tragedy. ”

Qin Niang said: "If you kill someone on the street, will you be sentenced to death?" Li Mao said: "I can't judge, if it is judged, Han Si will definitely shake everything out, and everyone will not be able to end it." In the afternoon, they discussed in the second office, and they wanted to judge him for manslaughter, most likely because he was a confiscated soldier. Tonight, you accompany me to meet Sister-in-law Wu, this we tossed out has hurt her husband and wife. Qin Niang said: "If you want to say that you are guilty of harming people, Sister-in-law Wu is pregnant with a child in her belly, Mr. Yi also has a seven-year-old young sister, named Yi Qiao, who has lived with her brother since she was a child, and now her brother is dead, and her sister-in-law is pregnant. ”

Li Mao shouted irritably: "What can I do, it's a big deal that I will accept her as my sister, and I will raise her." Qin Niang smiled: "I advise you not to take care of this, you can raise an enemy, although the whole thing has nothing to do with you, outsiders seem to have Mr. Yi died for you, and she doesn't hate you when she grows up?" Li Mao said: "I'll talk about this later, take some money and we'll go over to see her sister-in-law." ”

Yi Zheng is not from Chengwu County, after being hired as a scribe, his family moved to Chengwu County, settled in Shanyifang in the east of the city, the house is rented, three main rooms, a kitchen, and a circle of earthen walls to form a small courtyard.

Hearing that her husband was assassinated on the street, Wu fainted on the spot, Yi Qiao was only seven years old, and he only knew how to cry in ignorance.

Because it was a homicide, Yi Zheng's body was still in the county office, and a mourning hall was only set up at home for people to mourn. Yi Zheng has just arrived, there are no relatives and friends in Chengwu County, and his colleagues are not familiar with him, and there are very few people who come to mourn. Yang Po was startled when she saw Li Mao coming with Qinniang, and hurriedly threw a look at the two, signaling them to withdraw, and seeing Li Mao standing still, she rushed over, pushed him out, and roared in her mouth: "What are you doing at this time, people can't wait to eat your meat." ”

Qin Niang said: "What does Mr. Yi's death have to do with him, if you want to eat meat, you should eat Han Yi's meat, we kindly brought money and goods to worship, why is she so good that she can't share it?" Qin Niang deliberately said loudly, Wu heard it in the house, wiped her tears, and said calmly: "My husband is unlucky, he was killed by the wicked, he can't complain about others, he first came to become a martial artist, and he is not familiar with the gold catcher, you come to worship I am grateful, as for the money, please take it back, although our Yi family is poor, but also do not want to be charred." Qin Niang's face turned blue when she heard this, and she was about to argue, but she was stopped by Li Mao's eyes.

Li Mao put incense on the spirit, bowed three times, turned around and said to Wu: "Brother Yi died for me, and I have the responsibility to take care of my sister-in-law and little sister." ”

Wu sneered, stood up suddenly, stopped in front of the mourning hall, stared at Li Mao like a knife, and shouted: "You are not welcome in the Yi family, you give me out, go out, go out!" ”

I was so excited that I was trembling all over.

"Get me out!" The seven-year-old girl swooped over and pushed Li Mao, her strength was too small, how could she shake it? The little girl was anxious, suddenly hugged Li Mao's right hand, and opened her mouth to take a mouthful. A heart-piercing pain came, and Li Mao grinned and raised his left palm, which was completely a subconscious action after the attack, but in the eyes of the seven-year-old Yi Qiao, it was full of hostility.

The little girl raised her head stubbornly and stared at Li Mao with resentful eyes.

Li Mao put down his hand curtly, and the corners of his mouth tried to make a smile. The seven-year-old girl's heart was full of hatred at the moment, and this kind smile turned out to be extremely hideous and hateful in her eyes. Yi Qiao buried her head and bit down again, blood spilling from the corners of her mouth, and the little girl shook her head and let out a low whine in her throat.

"Pull her away, quick."

After the urging of Zhan Po, Wu came back to her senses, she quickly put Yiqiao into her arms, and protected her tightly with her body, like an old hen guarding the chicks.

When pulling, due to excessive force, one of Yiqiao's teeth was broken off embedded in Li Mao's flesh, and the seven-year-old girl was changing her teeth and her teeth were loose, which was not surprising. But with her bloody mouth and resentful gaze, it looks hideous and terrifying. Qin Niang and Yang Po hurriedly came over to check on Li Mao's injuries, the injuries were really not light, and the sharp teeth of the small mouth left two wounds on the edge of the palm, and the blood was gushing non-stop.

Qin Niang took out a silk handkerchief and bandaged Li Mao, and persuaded him to go to Lang Zhong to clean up the wound.

Li Mao nodded obediently, looked up at the spiritual position of Yi Zheng in the main hall, and then looked at the Wu family who was full of guilt and Yi Qiao, who looked resentful and panting, for a while it was really mixed.
