Chapter 728: My Daughter's Life Is Like Grass
Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi were taken aback, didn't Zhao Hefu say that Zeng Chuntao would definitely live longer than Liang Bangduan, why did he die early?
"Jinyi's pro-army is ordered to handle the case, you dare to deceive Lao Tzu, and the crime is the same as bullying the king!" Qin Lin pulled out his sword and put it on Zeng Chunniu's shoulder, scaring him viciously.
Xu Xinyi also said viciously: "I have to cut down all the doors, and even the nine clans!" ”
Zeng Chunniu was so frightened that his face was pale, he knelt on the ground and shook his hands wildly, and stammered: "Really, really buried here, Chun Tao has been dead for more than a year, the two officials spare and spare their lives, by the way, the whole village came when they were buried, and the little one didn't dare to lie to you two!" ”
Xu Xinyi was still about to scare him, Qin Lin looked at his words and felt that Zeng Chunniu didn't want to lie, this grave was also erected in the old way, and a lot of grass grew on it, so he made a look to stop Miss Xu, and then let Zeng Chunniu stand up: "Your sister died more than a year ago, how did she die?" ”
Zeng Chunniu had palpitations, and carefully held his waist: "It's tuberculosis, it's only half a month after carrying it home!" ”
What's going on? Xu Xinyi couldn't help but take a step forward and asked: "Nonsense, Zhao Hefu, a famous doctor who treats tuberculosis in Beijing, personally prescribed a prescription for your sister, and Dr. Zhao said that there will be no problem in taking the medicine according to the prescription for at least two or three years." ”
"No, there's no way, huh? Mr. Zhao also prescribed a prescription for Chun Tao? Zeng Chunniu was puzzled, and his face was full of confusion: "The Liang family sent Chun Tao back, and they gave one hundred and fifty taels of sick silver, and they didn't mention any recipes!" ”
Isn't that a lie to your face? Xu Xinyi was amused.
"What a poisonous plan to kill people!" Qin Lin sighed faintly, his expression was lonely with boundless anger, and the flames burning under his eyes just wanted to burn away the ugliness of this world.
"You mean, the Liang family doesn't have a ...... at all" Xu Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked Zeng Chunniu very unwillingly: "Didn't the Liang family give you one hundred and fifty taels of sick silver?" Won't you call a doctor yourself and watch your sister die? ”
Zeng Chunniu looked at Xu Xinyi timidly, didn't dare to look at her at all, quickly turned his eyes away, and finally couldn't help it, so he said in a whisper: "My father said, my father said that this tuberculosis can't be cured, and this disease is a bottomless pit that can't be filled, so I simply, simply didn't ask a doctor." Also, Chun Tao and Chun Tao also said that it can't be cured anyway, so it's better to save the money and keep it at home. ”
Xu Xinyi was so angry that he trembled, the ants were still greedy, and Chun Tao was young, how could he be willing to die early? Chun Tao's body is better than Liang Bangduan, in fact, the chance of healing is greater!
"I finally know now how the Zeng family's new tiled house came about," Qin Lin shook his head with a sneer, pressed Xu Xinyi's shoulder again, raised his eyes to look at the gloomy sky, and sighed: "In this world, not everyone can afford to eat Ziheche, turtle plate gum, deer horn gum and cordyceps. ”
Xu Xinyi's anger did not subside, his long legs were thrown up like a whip, and Zeng Chunniu was kicked into a somersault with a snap.
"Sir, sir, sir, he's angry!" Zeng Ada, Ma and his daughter-in-law who was holding their grandson came together and knelt on the ground together.
Zeng Ada's face was distorted by pain, and the old tears flowed: "Two chiefs, my family is sorry for Chun Tao, but there is no way, I was so poor that I only had a thatched house, so I sent Chun Tao to the Liang family, counting on her to earn some monthly money to help supplement the family, who knew that she would get tuberculosis and be sent back?" The Liang family was kind and gave one hundred and fifty taels of silver for recuperation, Chun Tao is my daughter, why don't you want to treat her? But there is no cure for this disease! When the time comes, the disease is not cured, the people are gone, and the money is gone, how can I marry my daughter-in-law? My family, my family wants to pass on the ancestry! ”
The daughter-in-law hugged her little grandson and was with her mother-in-law Ma, just kowtowing to Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi and begging for mercy.
Xu Xinyi sighed, gradually calmed down, and finally the block in his chest was difficult to eliminate.
Qin Lin patted her on the back and said in a deep voice: "What a kind Liang family, if the Zeng family is pitiful and hateful, then the Liang family is the real culprit!" ”
Chun Tao's death, ostensibly due to illness, was actually a well-calculated murder.
The Liang family first let this poor girl risk being infected to serve Liang Bangduan, who was suffering from tuberculosis, and when she was really unfortunate enough to contract tuberculosis, they sent her home like a waste product. Not only that, but they also calculated that it was impossible for a poor peasant family like the Zeng family to spend money to hire a famous doctor to fill the bottomless pit of tuberculosis for their daughter, so they withheld the prescription listed by Zhao Hefu, a famous doctor who specializes in treating tuberculosis, and then pretended to be generous and threw down one hundred and fifty taels of silver for recuperation - it was clearly hush money!
Xu Xinyi was so angry that he almost gritted his silver teeth, and said angrily: "The Liang family treats the daughter of a poor family as a mustard, which is really hateful!" Is there still a way to find anything from the bones? ”
Qin Lin asked the Zeng family father and son angrily: "How do you pretend to be a spring peach?" I guess it won't be a coffin with a cedar plank, right? ”
The father and son of the Zeng family understood the irony in their words, so they had to tell him that because Chun Tao died unmarried, even if the woman died horizontally, according to the local rules, they could not enter the ancestral grave in the village, so they had to choose to be buried hastily in this mountain col, and only a straw mat was wrapped in the burial.
But isn't it, this tomb is not in front of the village and behind the store, it is not close to the Xiaotangshan Royal Garden and the village, and it is a lonely small tomb, poor spring peach, from life to death are as low as grass...... "More than a year, and only wrapped in straw mats, plus there are hot springs underground, the ground is warm, it is estimated that it has long been ossified!" Qin Lin scratched his scalp depressedly, he really wanted to beat the Zeng family father and son hard, damn, Chun Tao is your daughter and sister, can you be kind to her, bury her in a dry place, and then put a coffin with a thick plate?!
In that case, it is estimated that the corpse will decompose more slowly, and I think we can still find something that can be used as evidence.
The soft tissues of the corpse are gradually softened and liquefied through the [***] process, until they are completely dissolved and disappear, and the hair and nails fall off, and finally only the bone remains, which is called white ossification.
Generally, corpses buried in the soil will complete this process within a year or two; If the burial ground is dry and the coffin is sealed, it can be extended to seven or eight years; In extremely dry conditions such as deserts, there may be no ossification, and the skin and flesh and internal organs may dry and shrink to form dried corpses, which can be preserved for thousands of years; In the wild, which is exposed to the middle of summer, it is laid by flies in large numbers to produce fly maggots, which can turn into white bones as soon as one or two months.
The soil here is relatively humid, the temperature in the col is also a little warm, and the corpse is only wrapped in a straw mat and buried, according to Qin Lin's experience, it can be completed in half a year at most, and he has simply lost interest in digging up the grave.
Tuberculosis is confirmed by the lesions of the organs in the body, and a pair of white bones does not prove anything.
"Let's go, Miss Xu, this line is broken," Qin Lin greeted with a smile, just relying on the confessions of the Zeng family's father and son, he wanted to deal with Feng Bao and Feng Dugong, it was a dream!
Xu Xinyi pouted sullenly: "Alas, there is such a thing as a spring peach, Miss Ben will never come to Xiaotangshan Hot Spring in the future, and her heart is ...... panic."
Qin Lin has always seemed to have something blocked in his head, since he decided to leave here, his subconscious vaguely felt that he had missed something, and at this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed: "What, you said hot springs?" Haha, by the way, this is not far from Xiaotangshan Hot Spring, no wonder the inside of the col is warmer than the outside, well, there is a door! ”
After that, Qin Lin turned around and walked back, stopped the father and son of the Zeng family who were about to go back, and turned his face into a tiger: "Open the grave, the official wants to examine the body, whoever says a word, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!" ”
Xu Xinyi blinked his apricot eyes, he didn't understand what Qin Lin was doing, he had been buried for more than a year, and the corpse had already turned into white bones, so what was the point of digging it out? Is it possible to detect evidence of tuberculosis from white bones?
The father and son of the Zeng family are both from the Zhuang family, and in the face of two fierce and vicious horsemen - one of them seems to be a woman, they don't dare to resist at all, not to mention that Chun Tao was as cheap as grass before his death, and was actually abandoned by his father and brother.
Zeng Chunniu brought a hoe and began to dig the grave.
Although the location here is relatively remote, there are no outsiders in the countryside, the arrival of Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi still attracted a lot of attention.
Qin Lin didn't talk nonsense, and directly lit the tiger head waist card of the Beizhen Fusi, and asked the chief to take the strong man to maintain order, and if there was any violation, he would be severely punished according to the offender.
The fierce name of Ti Qi is not covered, and Xiaotangshan is very close to the Beijing Division, and it is where the royal garden is located, and the factory guard eagle dogs often come and go, and the chief knows that it is very powerful, and he was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he quickly organized Qingzhuang to fence off the three layers in the mountain col, for fear that there would be some chaos, and he would have to go into the Beizhen Fusi Heavenly Prison to walk around twice.
Not to mention, the Zeng family is not good to Chun Tao, but this pit for burying people is dug deep enough, and the body has not been seen after two feet.
"Official, official, it's a little further down," Zeng Eda frowned when he saw Qin Lin, and hurriedly flattered his waist, lest the official be angry.
Qin Lin waved his hand: "Stop, don't dig!" ”
Zeng Chunniu immediately stopped, not daring to disobey the slightest.
Xu Xinyi blinked in confusion, the body hadn't been dug up yet, why did he stop?
Qin Lin walked to the side of the grave, took two breaths vigorously, and suddenly frowned, grinning as if he was hesitating about something.
"What's the matter, don't you dig up the corpse and dissect it?" Xu Xinyi leaned over and asked in a low voice, saying in his heart Qin Lin, you don't know how many times you have done this kind of thing, why did you put on the face of the deputy junior brother this time?
Qin Lin took two steps back: "Let's go, let's stop digging, go directly to Feng Bao and kick his ass!" ”
Yes? Just dug two feet like this, and before you even saw the body, you can go to find Feng Bao? Miss Xu was suddenly confused.
Qin Lin instructed the lieutenant chief to take Qingzhuang to guard it closely, and then jumped on the fast horse with Xu Xinyi and galloped towards the Jingshi
