Chapter 174: Patience is limited
Granny Han cried with a sad face, kowtowed and said, "I, I forced her to go to Tongzhou to make money by selling jokes, but she didn't do it and quarreled with me." I threatened her that if she didn't agree, I would go to the yamen to accuse her of fornication and send her to prison. And she wept, saying that she would not die. I didn't want to tear my face in the end, if the news of my daughter-in-law's fornication with someone spread, my old face would have no place to rest, so it was just a lip service, and I didn't report it to the official. ”
Lu Jinping said: "You just said that your daughter-in-law had an affair with someone, what's going on?" ”
"That was more than half a year ago, it was Jia Feng, the son of the shopkeeper of Najia, who wanted to marry Eleven Niang, and he couldn't take out the bride price if we wanted it, so we would stop it. My family is so poor that sometimes I can't open the pot. So I asked Shi Niang to go to Jia Feng to borrow grain, but Jia Feng was also a dead eye, and he recognized Shi Niang, so Shi Niang opened his mouth, and there was nothing that he couldn't borrow. One day, she came back from borrowing grain, and took not only a bag of rice, but also the usual money. But his eyes were red and swollen, as if he had cried. ”
I kindly comforted her and asked him what was the matter? At first, she refused to say, I was soft and hard, what did she say, saying that Jia Fengfeng happened to be not at home that day, and the shopkeeper Jia was there, and the old immortal actually took the usual money to seduce Eleven Niang, and after giving her the money, she forcibly took off her dress, and she didn't dare to shout, for fear that the reputation of the person who shouted would be ruined, so she could only submit. I said to Eleven Niang, what's the big deal, don't you sleep with any man? Isn't it good to make money? I asked her to go to Shopkeeper Jia in the future, and she could make consistent money at one time, which was a good deal. ”
But Eleven Niang refused to live or die, saying that only this time, she would not go to the shopkeeper Jia again, otherwise, if Jia Feng knew, she would be very sad. I persuaded it a few times. Eleven Niang just refused, I knew that this woman had a stubborn temper, and she would not change what she recognized, so she left it to her. I thought that this matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Jia tasted the sweetness and refused to let go. As a result, he asked his son to go out to do business, waited for his son to leave Tongzhou, and then tricked Eleven Niang into the house under the pretext that his son was looking for Eleven Niang. ”
"After Eleven Niang came back, she got the usual money and food, and cried again. I asked her what was going on? She finally said that Shopkeeper Jia lied to him, broke Jia Feng away, and would not come back for two months to go out to do business, Shopkeeper Jia took the money out to her, and asked her to sleep with him often. It won't be less of her benefits, if Eleven Niang doesn't do it, the shopkeeper Jia threatens that if she doesn't do it, he will tell Jia Feng about the fornication between the two of them. He also snatched Eleven Niang's belly pocket ** as physical evidence. ”
Eleven Niang was afraid that he would really tell Jia Feng about it, so she had to give in, and swore that it would only be this time, not again. After finishing the work, Shopkeeper Jia gave the money again. She went home crying. So I enlightened Eleven Niang again. In this case, isn't it good to make some money? Go to him again. Eleven Niang really wants to die and won't do it. I threatened her that if she didn't go, I would go to the official yamen to accuse her of fornication, and let the yamen punish her, but I didn't expect it. I said that she was angry with her, and she said that if she wanted to sue the official, she would go, she was not afraid, and she would also report my matter, and the two of us would be in prison together. I was so angry that I couldn't help it. ”
Lu Jinping said: "Is it possible that you have something unspeakable that he has caught?" ”
Granny Han just wanted to prove herself, but she didn't expect to be caught by Lu Jinping with this sentence, and she lowered her head in panic and didn't speak.
Lu Jinping sneered and said: "If you want to hide it, you can hide it, but I will still take you to the yamen as an important suspect to investigate it carefully." ”
Granny Han said: "Master, the old man didn't do anything, why did the old man arrest the old man and go to the yamen." ”
"You didn't confess just now, you said that Eleven Niang is not afraid that you will go to the yamen to sue, because she wants to report you, and the two of you are in prison together, now, I suspect that you were caught by Eleven Niang because of the handle, and in order to kill the mouth, you killed Eleven Niang!"
Granny Han was so frightened that she didn't expect Lu Jinping to turn on it, kneel on the ground and kowtow and say, "The master spares his life!" I really didn't kill her, besides, she's young, I'm old, she killed me about the same, how can I kill her. ”
"You don't have to be too humble, I think you came over very neatly just now. Besides, you can take it by surprise. Eleven Niang looks very thin, and she may not be the opponent of your vicious old woman. Anyway, how did you kill your daughter-in-law? ”
Granny Han trembled in panic, and she was busy kowtowing and said, "Master, the old body was wronged, it was really not the old body that killed him." She swore that she wouldn't say it before, I believe she hasn't said it for so many years, as long as I don't talk about her and Shopkeeper Jia, she won't say anything about me, so I don't need to kill her, I've been here for so many years, I would have already started to kill if I wanted to kill me, why wait until now? ”
"Then what evil have you committed? Let's talk about it. ”
Seeing that Lu Jinping was going to put him on the murderer's hand, Granny Han knew that she didn't tell the truth, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out of it, so she gritted her teeth and said: "That's the case, before I married the child's father, I had a good match, but his family was too poor, and my father and mother in our family didn't agree to this family affair, so they married me to the current master." After that, my friend secretly approached me a few times for a private tryst. Once, when we were in bed, my daughter-in-law was supposed to work in the field, but she was not feeling well in the middle and came back early, and happened to bump into me and him, and I got along with me and knelt on the ground and begged her not to say anything. ”
"I vowed never to associate with my good friends again. Eleven Niang also swore that as long as we don't communicate again, if the door is broken, she won't say anything if she is killed. After that incident, I didn't get along with my friend again, and he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he never came to me again. Eleven Niang never mentioned this. Master, I know I'm wrong, beg the lord to raise his noble hand to spare the old body's life, the old body is already a lot of old people, there are not a few days to live, the loess is buried to the neck, please give me a good death. "Say knock knock kowtow.
When Lu Jinping heard that this was the case, he was completely understandable. So I'm not interested in looking into such a thing. said: "What did you do after Eleven Niang rejected your proposal?" You go on first. ”
Seeing that Lu Jinping did not hold him accountable for his fornication, Granny Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed her saliva, and then said: "I saw that Eleven Niang refused to comply and went to the shopkeeper Jia to ask for money, so I thought of a way to quietly go to the shopkeeper Jia." I told him that I knew all about him seducing my daughter-in-law, and unless he took money to gag me, I would tell his son about his seducing of Eleven Niang. ”
As a result, the old fellow panicked when he heard this. He actually cares about his son very much, because he is such a son, and his wife died early, so father and son depend on each other. He also knew that his son had a deep relationship with Eleven Niang, and if he knew that his father had seduced his sweetheart, his son would never forgive him. Therefore, the shopkeeper Jia was afraid of losing his son, so he could only take five yuan to gamble on my mouth, begging me not to tell Jia Feng, I agreed and took the money back. ”
"The money has been almost spent these days, and I am still thinking about when to go to Shopkeeper Jia to ask for some money, and I still use this to force him, he will definitely give me money again, but I didn't expect Shi Niang to have an accident. After the accident, I thought at the time that maybe it was this shopkeeper Jia who did it, and he was afraid that his son would know about it, so it was better to kill people. As long as Eleven Niang is dead, there is no proof of death. So, if you don't talk about these things, I don't want to pull them up. Since it is involved, then I will tell the eldest master, I suspect that the shopkeeper Jia killed Shi Niang and killed people. ”
Lu Jinping listened to her without saying a word, thinking that someone had already proved that he was not present at all, so it was definitely not Shopkeeper Jia who killed Shi Niang. However, what Granny Han said can at least prove that this Granny Han also has a motive to kill, and her affair with someone was bumped into by her daughter-in-law, although the daughter-in-law swore that she would not say it, and she didn't say it for so many years, but in the end, it was a heart disease, and now the daughter-in-law didn't listen to him, and even threatened to resist the instructions by exposing what she did back then. Since he had a motive for committing the crime, his suspicion cannot be ruled out.
Lu Jinping asked Granny Han and said, "You said earlier that from this morning until noon, you and your husband have been at home and have not left. At noon, the daughter-in-law did not come back, so you came out to look for her, and finally found her body in the latrine. I ask you now, who else can testify to the fact that you and your husband are at home? ”
As soon as Granny Han heard this, it seemed that Lu Jinping still hadn't given up on identifying him as a murderer, and immediately became nervous again, looked at Lu Jinping with a stammering mouth and said, "There is no one else, just the two of us at home." It wasn't until noon that we couldn't wait to come out to find her. ”
"You two are husband and wife, you testify to each other, this proof is very weak, you have to find evidence, do you have any other evidence that you stayed at home and didn't come out? Especially at noon. ”
Granny Han was a little flustered: "I got up early in the morning and started to cook pigs, and then cooked, and I never left, and I have several pigs in my house, and I have to prepare a lot of pig food." The sound of chopping pigweed should be heard next door, but there is a wall, and I wonder if they can testify to me. Later, it wasn't until noon that my husband came back, and the two of us were ready to eat, and then we found out why my daughter-in-law didn't come back, so we came out to look for it. ”
"Wait!" Lu Jinping interrupted her, "Didn't you say before that you and your master have been at home all the time?" What did you just say, he came back from outside. So where did he go? I warn you, that you are not telling the truth, and that your patience is limited. (To be continued......)
