Song Ruilong immediately rushed to the court with Su Xianrong, and Song Ruilong saw a man in his thirties with a full beard beating drums there.

Su Xianrong stepped forward and said to the bearded man: "Our adults are here, if you have any grievances, just tell our adults."

The man looked at Song Ruilong dressed as a ranger, looked at it with some surprise for a moment, and suddenly knelt down for Song Ruilong and said, "My lord, the small people are wronged."

Song Ruilong said: "If you have any grievances, let's hear about it."

The bearded man said: "Xiaomin was originally an ordinary person in Room 13, Qingyun Lane, Tieshi Road, named Zeng Qiang. On weekdays, he was busy with the pork business, so he left his wife in the cold. Xiaomin's wife couldn't help being lonely at home, so she got mixed up with the willow tree in room 18 of Qingyun Lane. After Xiaomin found out about Xiaomin's wife's scandal at that time, she was very angry and wanted to divorce her ruthlessly, but she knelt in front of Xiaomin and said that she wanted Xiaomin to give her a chance to repent and reform. As soon as Xiaomin's heart softened, he forgave her. However, when it was close to dawn last night, Xiaomin scolded Xiaomin's wife, saying that she didn't do anything at home, didn't even wash her clothes, and was really a loser. Xiaomin's wife even said that she weaves cloth during the day and coaxes her children to sleep at night, so how can she have time to wash clothes. Xiaomin quarreled with her because of these things. Xiaomin's wife finally ran away from home, and has not come back yet, Xiaomin regretted a little, and went around early in the morning to find but there was no news of Xiaomin's wife, thinking that it would be a wicked person who abducted and sold it, so he was very anxious, hoping that the master would be the master of Xiaomin. ”

Song Ruilong pondered, "When did you find out that your wife was unfaithful to you?"

"Three days ago."

Song Ruilong asked again: "After you quarreled with your wife last night, did she say where to go before leaving?"

Zeng Qiang lowered his head, twisted his head, and said, "It's also strange that Xiaomin is too ruthless." Xiaomin said, if you truly repent, you will hang yourself in front of Liu Dashu's house. After Xiaomin said this, Xiaomin's wife Duan Xiu'e took a one-zhang-long hemp rope from home, tried it in front of Xiaomin, and said angrily, You think I don't dare, I'll die for you. Xiaomin thought he wouldn't dare, so he said, you go to die! Light says who won't. My wife was so angry that she took the rope and went out of the gate. ”

Song Ruilong said a little angrily: "You know that your wife may hang herself, why don't you stop it?"

Zeng Qiang said: "Xiaomin was also angry at the time, so he went back to the house to sleep." But when Xiaomin woke up, it was almost dawn. After Xiaomin went to the gate of Liu Dashu's house, he found that Xiaomin's wife was not in front of Liu Dashu's house, but Xiaomin searched all over Ping'an County and did not find Xiaomin's wife, and asked many relatives and friends, but they didn't see it. Xiaomin came to report the case. ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "Then in your opinion, where will your wife go?"

Zeng Qiang thought about it: "Based on Xiaomin's thoughts, Xiaomin's wife is likely to really hang herself at Liu Dashu's house, but after being discovered by Liu Dashu's family, they were afraid of getting into a lawsuit, so they hid Xiaomin's wife."

Song Ruilong called Wang Yu and Zhang Shun, gave them the black cloth bag with a red shroud, and said, "The two of you pretend to be ordinary people, take the errand waist card, and show it to the people who want to interrogate if necessary." Also, take this red shroud and ask in Ping'an County to see which one did the funeral last night. In particular, those who are outsiders and wealthy businessmen should pay special attention, and once they find suspicious people, do not startle them, and report to the county after they come back, and wait for the county's instructions. ”

Wang Yu took the black cloth bag and went to change clothes.

Song Ruilong looked at Zeng Qiang and said, "Zeng Qiang, you immediately take us to the gate of Liu Dashu's house to check, and at the same time, the county will also order to go down and post a notice, so that the people in the county will also help you find your wife."

Zeng Qiang knelt down for Song Ruilong and said, "Xiaomin has thanked Lord Zhixian."

When he walked into Qingyun Lane and was about to arrive at Liu Dashu's house, Song Ruilong found a very wide ditch. The ditch was big enough to get an average person's shoes wet and muddy.

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong didn't perform light skills, they both stepped on the middle of the stinky ditch, and their feet were stained with mud.

When Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong followed Zeng Qiang to Liu Dashu's house, Song Ruilong grabbed the bottom of the beam with his right hand, stretched his head to the beam, and carefully inspected the beam, and found that the red paint on the beam had traces of being wound by the rope and pulled left and right, and there were still fine hairs of hemp rope left on the beam.

Song Ruilong tore off those tiny silk threads, let Su Xianrong take a look, and said, "These tiny hairs should be left on the hemp rope." There are traces of hemp rope pulling left and right on the beam, and the traces are relatively new. ”

Su Xianrong said: "This doesn't mean that Duan Xiu'e hanged herself here last night. Unless we can find Duan Xiu'e's body and can prove that Duan Xiu'e hanged herself. ”

Song Ruilong saw a big stone in front of the gate of Liu Dashu's house, and said a little strangely: "This stone has been moved, it is likely that Duan Xiu'e used this stone to hang herself." Now that the stone has been removed, what does that mean? ”

Su Xianrong also looked at the stone and said, "The gate of Liu Dashu's house is relatively flat, if Duan Xiu'e moves the stone under the beam of the gate, then after she hangs herself, she kicks the stone over, and the stone will not roll down here."

Song Ruilong looked at the door of Liu Dashu's house and said, "If we want to know these answers, we are afraid that we will have to ask the owner of this house."

Zeng Qiang stepped forward, banged on the door vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Open the door!" Open the door! ”

The door opened, a thin man with a purple face, his eyes were still swollen, and after seeing Zeng Qiang, he opened his eyes vigorously and said, "Brother Zeng, it's the younger brother who is confused, and the younger brother shouldn't have slept with your wife." The little brother has already made a mistake, you can spare the little brother! ”

Zeng Qiang went up and grabbed the clothes on the man's chest and said, "Let me ask you, where is my wife?"

Zeng Qiang's neck was almost covered by his clothes, and his body and feet were almost lifted off the ground by Zeng Qiang.

The man said with difficulty: "Zeng...... Brother Zeng, what did you say? Little brother didn't see your wife last night. ”

Song Ruilong patted Zeng Qiang's arm lightly with a fan and said, "Don't be rude!"

Zeng Qiang let go of his hand, stepped aside very respectfully, and said, "My lord, this bastard must have hidden Xiaomin's wife."

Song Ruilong looked at the thin man and said, "What's your name?"

The man glanced at Song Ruilong, very timid in his heart, Su Xianrong showed the waist card of his tolerance to the man, and said: "We are the tolerance in the yamen, Zeng Qiang's wife was lost last night and has not returned yet, we want to ask you, do you know where Zeng Qiang's wife is?"
