Chapter 27: The Complaint Returns
Zhang Liu went to the county seat for a whole day, and his family has not been broken. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Aunt Wang and Aunt Li have never left, and have been helping her take care of the Zhang family's courtyard.
The villagers in the township, everyone wanted to give Miss Zhang Xiacai a ride, but Zhang Liu had no intention of being buried. The man was covered from head to toe with a white cloth, and he could not see anything when he came over.
Everyone is on the pillar incense to express their respect and remembrance of the deceased, some people come and some people go, and the Zhang family has always maintained a dozen or so people in the walk.
Seeing Zhang Liu coming back, they all stepped forward to inquire about her complaint, and I don't know if she found someone to write the pleadings, and I don't know if she went into the yamen.
But she rushed into the house and ate without saying a word. The black dry bun didn't even use saliva, so it choked like that.
It can be seen that she is hungry enough, and Aunt Wang handed her a bowl of water: "Drink some water, this child is really, don't you have money on you?" I don't know if I can eat something in the county, who can stand it when I'm hungry? ”
Zhang Liu took the bowl and took two large sips. Just as she was about to speak, Aunt Li beckoned her to go over and wash her face. Aunt Li poured her face wash and prepared towels and soap corners.
She washed her face, and everyone gathered around to ask all kinds of questions.
Zhang Liu's heart was also uncertain, and he didn't know what the county master thought, so he only said that he would let her come back and wait. What are you waiting for? How long will it take?
Could it be like what the villagers said, the county lord is perfunctory to her? It is not uncommon for a 'procrastination' to drag the complainant to the ground.
In the face of the villagers' inquiries, she couldn't keep silent. She told the truth about what she saw, heard, done, and all her experiences on the day she entered the county.
Everyone heard that she actually stopped the sedan chair to shout grievances, and even entered the county government hall, and praised her one after another, as if she was praising a national hero.
How dare a countryman dare to go into the county seat to complain, she saw the county lord as a woman, which is a great event.
At the beginning, Zhang Liu was moved by everyone's concern for her, and after a while, she felt that something was wrong. Everyone's focus is not on the homicide case in her family, but on the county master.
The three words of the county lord immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and everyone began to ask what the county lord looked like, whether he was tall or short, fat or thin, handsome or ugly, a young man or an old man?
The hot touching came to naught in an instant, and everyone's questions changed from full of emotion to boring. Zhang Liu suddenly realized that he had no one close to him in this world, and the bitter loneliness and coldness filled his heart.
She parted the crowd, pushed the door open, and walked out. Walking into the mourning shed, she stood in front of her sister-in-law's corpse and stared at the white cloth fixedly. Afraid of the wind, the white cloth was lifted, and the four corners were pressed with burning paper.
Man has been dead for almost a day. It's night, my clothes haven't been changed, and the scissors stuck in my chest haven't been pulled out. Zhang Liu looked at the white cloth, and a layer of fog gradually appeared in his eyes.
In the tile basin in front of the mourning shed, there was an unburned ash flickering firelight, and Zhang Liu picked up the burning paper sent by someone from the side and filled it into the basin one by one.
The burning paper immediately burned when it met Mars, and the red fire light reflected on Zhang Liu's face, making her face red. This light brought her a hint of warmth, and she unconsciously curled the corners of her lips.
With tears in her eyes and a smile on the corner of her mouth, she filled the basin with burning paper while saying to herself to her sister-in-law: "Caixia, you can go on the road with peace of mind." My sister-in-law went to sue, and my sister-in-law met a Qing official, he will definitely avenge you, he will. ”
The thing in this world that doesn't have wings but is faster than flying is probably the news, Zhang Liu's went to the county seat to sue and came back, which is a blockbuster news in Shixi Village.
Soon the whole village knew that she had met the county magistrate, and the county magistrate approved her and said that she should go home and wait for news.
Liu Erzhu was squatting on the ground to clean the wound and change the dressing for the eldest brother, and the little Lingzi next door ran over to tell the two of them about it. Liu Erzhu happily patted his eldest brother's leg hard: "This is great." ”
"Ahh Liu Dazhu was in pain, and couldn't help but exhale in pain, Liu Erzhu's slap just happened to hit his wound, and he grinned and said, "Next time, I'll pat your own leg excitedly." ”
Xiao Lingzi couldn't help but giggle, and Liu Dazhu asked, "Is the county official so good-looking?" Sister-in-law Zhang isn't bragging, right? ”
"Of course not." Xiao Lingzi glanced at Liu Dazhu: "Sister-in-law Zhang will brag about this kind of thing?" ”
Liu Dazhu smiled wryly: "Yes, but the county master didn't say that he would definitely be able to catch the murderer, I don't think it's so easy." ”
"It's not easy, the officials are all the stars in the sky, we can't find out, people will definitely be able to find out, isn't the government doing this."
Xiao Lingzi is only sixteen years old this year, and she usually has a good relationship with Zhang Caixia, who often teaches her embroidery. Now that I heard that the county magistrate had approved the situation, Xiao Lingzi couldn't wait to arrest the murderous robber immediately.
"Sister Ling is right, I can't find out that the official is eating dry rice?" Liu Erzhu didn't have much hope for this matter, and he was the first person to persuade Zhang Liu not to complain.
Now that he heard that Zhang Liu had really sued the county magistrate, he became excited. Punishing evil and promoting good is an instinctive desire in the human heart. Hope, not to mention that he is an old neighbor who lives next to the Zhang family?
Of course, Liu Erzhu is eager to catch the murderer as soon as possible and avenge Zhang Caixia's sister as soon as possible. No one wants the murderer to go unpunished, it's just that it's too difficult to prosecute.
The hope was so slim that it was desperate, so those who could endure it and those who couldn't endure it endured. Forbearance is a heart-piercing pain, but also a kind of helplessness.
If there is a way, if there is a hope, who is willing to endure it?
At the same time, Sun Youde also heard the news, he sat at the table and sighed: "I didn't expect this crazy woman to really have the courage to sue." ”
Sun was spinning back and forth on the ground, and kept muttering: "Blame me, blame me, blame me." ”
'Bah' Sun Youde slammed his fist on the table, which frightened Mrs. Sun's fierce spirit.
"You old immortal, you want to scare me to death?" Sun pointed at Sun Youde and scolded: "What are you knocking?" ”
Not to be outdone, Sun Youde yelled at her: "What are you turning? Hold down, hold down, tell you how many times? Before he could do anything, he messed up. What's the blame for you again? You mumble, mumble. ”
