Chapter 69: Embroidered purse
Leng Yi's heart moved, there was no such thing in the file, it was just written that she hit the deceased on the head with a wooden stick to death, and there was no proof of how the case occurred, so he didn't know what Li said just now. After listening to Master Dong's words, Leng Yi touched his sparse beard, nodded angrily, and said, "You said you didn't kill him, so how did the crack on his head come from?" ”
"I don't know, I really didn't kill my husband! If you condemn me to death, I won't accept it anywhere in Lord Hades! ”
Leng Yi said: "It seems that finding out what happened to the head injury of the deceased is the key to this case." - Where are the dead buried? ”
Li said: "It is buried on the mountain outside the city." Because their family said that they were killed, they could not die a good death, and they could not be buried in the ancestral grave, so they chose a place to be buried in this place of death. ”
"Well, Ming said that the county will reopen the coffin for autopsy!"
Master Dong hurriedly said: "This, Dong Weng, it's not necessary, right?" Last time, the coffin was opened for an autopsy. ”
"The last time the coffin was opened for an autopsy, it was an examination, and the county said that in the future, the county will conduct all the case scene investigations in person, and no longer fake hands."
Master Dong hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's not impossible to reopen the coffin for autopsy, it's just that the family of the bitter master has returned to their hometown, and I have to ask for their opinions, and it's too late to open the coffin tomorrow morning." ”
Leng Yi asked Li: "This county wants to open the coffin of your husband for an autopsy, are you willing?" ”
Li nodded hurriedly, with a glimmer of hope on his face: "I do!" I beg the lord of Qingtian to find out about this case, and return the innocence of the people's wife, and the people's women will be cows and horses in the next life, and repay the grace of the lord! After that, she knelt on the ground and wanted to kowtow, but the wooden flail supported her neck, and she could only keep kowtowing, but she couldn't kowtow.
Leng Yi said: "Since you are willing, it means that the bitter master's family has agreed, well, this county will open the coffin for autopsy!" ”
Master Dong was stunned for a moment, Leng Yi's statement also made sense. Moreover, the county magistrate wants to investigate the case, which is a good thing in itself, as a master, he should naturally praise the sick and help him, so he will no longer persuade him.
Leng Yi walked out of the cell with his hands behind his back, without even looking at Lin Ling in the first room.
Back in the inner house, Yin Vulture stayed behind and patrolled the outer house.
Leng Yi took Cheng Luojie and Zheng Yan to the main room. He walked across the patio, Cheng Luoyan didn't know where to come out, as if he had arrived in front of him all of a sudden, and arched his hand: "Meet the master!" ”
"Hmm," Leng Yi glanced behind her, "What about Li Fen's catch?" ”
Cheng Luoyan raised her hand and pointed to the osmanthus tree behind the main house: "Be on guard above." ”
Leng Yi looked up and saw that on the osmanthus tree that he had climbed up last time, against the background of the gray night sky, there was indeed a slender figure sitting on the branch.
Leng Yi said to Cheng Luoyan: "She is also real, if she is alone in a tree, she will catch a cold on such a cold day." ”
Cheng Luoyan smiled: "Don't worry, sir, even if she sleeps in the snow all night, she won't catch a cold." - We have divided the duty plan, and she, Huang Mei, and Zheng Yan take turns to stand guard on the tree, each for two hours, not for a long time, and they will not catch a cold. ”
"That's good." Leng Yi glanced back at Cheng Luojie and said, "You have worked hard, so rest early." ”
"Rest early, sir! There is Zheng Yan on duty outside the door. If the lord has something, just call her. Sister Cheng Luojie arched her hand, and then disappeared into the darkness, and she didn't know where to hide. Zheng Yan pressed the hilt of the sword and stood under the porch of the main door, waiting for Leng Yi's call.
As soon as Leng Yi entered the room, the room was very dim, and only an oil lamp was lit on the desk. Zhuo Qiaoniang lowered her head and sat on the stool next to the brazier in the middle of the room, holding the female worker in her hand, but she didn't sew it, but looked at the brazier stupidly.
Leng Yi smiled, and didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of scaring her, so he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly.
Zhuo Qiaoniang was too deeply engrossed, although this voice was soft, it still scared her, she hurriedly looked up, saw Leng Yi, got up and smiled: "The official is back!" ”
"Well, what do you want? So fascinating. ”
"No ......, nothing!" Zhuo Qiaoniang helped him take off his official robe, replaced it with a half-worn robe, turned the fire a little bigger, and dusted off the spotless chair by the brazier with his sleeves, "Official, please sit!" ”
Leng Yi sat down, took her hand, let her sit beside him, looked at her, and said softly, "What's wrong?" You can't hide my expression. ”
"Hmm......" Zhuo Qiaoniang hesitated for a moment, turned her head and glanced at the door closed, and then said in a low voice: "Concubine just doesn't understand, why are these headhunters always by our side?" ”
"Oh, our Bazhou is a place of exile, some stubborn people are easy to make trouble, there are many murders, robbers and thieves, didn't they kidnap you last time? The transport made the adults pity me, so they sent these people to our side to protect us. ”
Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded, thought about it, and said, "But ......, they don't look like they're simply protecting us, as if they're looking for something." ”
Leng Yi's heart moved, he looked at the room, there was nothing unusual, and asked, "What's wrong?" Are they looking for something? ”
Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded, lowered her voice, and said, "After the officials went out, Cheng Luo's head hunted and told the concubines that they should check all the places in detail to prevent thieves from lurking. He began to look around, even the board under the bed was removed and examined carefully. The concubine was a little strange, saying how could a thief hide in the board. But she didn't answer, just said that it was routine and asked the concubine not to ask more. The concubine just watched, and they searched the whole house carefully, and then said that the room was a bit messy, and they had to help clean it up, and after cleaning it up, they went out. ”
"So you're just sitting here in a daze, because you don't know what's going on?"
Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled astringently, lowered her head again, and said, "The concubine knows that she shouldn't ask more, but she can't stop thinking in her heart." ”
Leng Yi said in a low voice: "You're right, they're looking for something." They are not only to keep us safe, but also to find things. I don't know what they're looking for, but I guess it's the same thing you asked about the last time you kidnapped you. ”
Speaking of this, Leng Yi looked at Zhuo Qiaoniang intently, and said, "Think about it again, what might we have that they are looking for?" ”
"Since the last time she was kidnapped, the concubine has been thinking about it, but she can't think of it. When they were rummaging just now, the concubine was praying that they should quickly find what they wanted, so that they would not have to be stared at like thieves. ”
Leng Yi saw that her body trembled slightly, her face was pale, and she knew that she was under a lot of pressure in her heart, so he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, pulled her into his arms, hugged her gently, and said softly: "It's okay, they can find what they want, don't worry about it." ”
Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded, stretched out her hand and grabbed his chest: "It's all bad for concubines, the officials are already very tired, and they also said that these things make the officials worried." ”
"You should say this, how do you know if you don't say it, we are married and married, in this foreign country, only the two of us depend on each other, how can we do it if we are not intimate?"
Zhuo Qiaoniang raised her head to look at him and smiled softly. Nodding.
"Where's the grass spike?"
Cheng Luo's head catcher asked Zheng Yanzhu to carry her to their house quickly, saying that they would take care of her. By the way, the female worker she did today was really beautiful, and the concubine showed it to the officials. ”
After that, Zhuo Qiaoniang got up and walked to the window, took a purse from the table, and handed it to Leng Yi. Leng Yi took a look, this purse is embroidered on both sides, embroidered with auspicious clouds and cranes, the stitching is delicate, the color matching, and the pattern layout are superior. There is also a Luoying pendant at the hem, and I can't help but praise: "It's really a good embroiderer!" ”
Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Cao Sui said, she is very grateful to the official for saving her life, there is nothing else to repay, in addition to working hard in the future, she embroidered this purse to the official, wishing the official a straight rise and eternal happiness." ”
Leng Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "This kid really has a heart." Well, it's rare for her to have such a heart, so I accepted it, just because I didn't have a wallet by my side.
Zhuo Qiaoniang took it and tied it around his waist for him. looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good-looking." ”
