Wei Xiaojuan felt that Song Ruilong was very kind, so she was not nervous, and said: "Lord Song, about the case three years ago, the woman only knew a little bit about it, and she didn't see it with her own eyes. However, my wife Longshi seems to know very well, but he didn't dare to report to the official back then, so he ......"

Song Ruilong felt that this was not the way, and said: "Oh, Aunt Wei, don't worry, say it slowly, so let's ask, you can answer." ”

Wei Xiaojuan nodded and said, "Hmm!"

Song Ruilong said: "One night three years ago, that is, before Liu Tieban's accident, did you go to find Liu Piaoxi?"

Wei Xiaojuan said: "Yes! At that time, the woman accepted a tael of silver from a city man, and he said that he just invited Liu Piaofu to my house to embroider a mandarin duck pillow, and after the embroidery was finished, the tael of silver was mine. The women of the people did not see a tael of silver all year round, so I was dizzy at that time. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Aunt Wei, do you know the name of the person who gave you a tael of silver at that time?" What does it look like? ”

Aunt Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know." The man only said that he came to ask for his son, and he wanted to see Liu Piaofu. I thought he didn't mean anything else, so I said yes. The willow girl is smart, who is not rare? At that time, I thought that if this willow fluttering could marry in the city, it would be good to be a broad wife, so I agreed to the city man without much thought. ”

Song Ruilong looked at Wei Xiaojuan's package and said, "Do you still have that pair of mandarin duck embroidered pillows back then?"

Wei Xiaojuan put the package on the table, untied the black burden with white dots, took out a very bright pillow, and said, "My lord, please see, this mandarin duck picture has not been embroidered yet, because it is embroidered by willow fluttering, so I want to leave a souvenir." Later, I heard that Liu Piaoxu married Zhao Yuanwaifu, and I was also happy for her, and then this mandarin duck embroidered pillow has been pressed under the box of our house, and it is wrinkled. ”

Song Ruilong took the embroidered pillow in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "Look at this fabric, it is not coarse cloth and twine, but is woven from fine silk, and these fabrics are also worth half a tael of silver, right?"

Wei Xiaojuan nodded and said, "My lord has good eyesight, and this cloth for embroidered pillows was also bought by the people in the city for the people's women."

Song Ruilong's hand grabbed the embroidered pillow, he didn't know what he thought, and said: "Aunt Wei, it was said back then that Liu Tieban and his wife were killed by Zhao Li, a robber from Cuihua Mountain, so of course your family has no responsibility, but why would your husband blame himself for this incident?"

Wei Xiaojuan looked around a little mysteriously, and Song Ruilong asked the several officials guarding on both sides to retreat, and said, "Aunt Wei has something to say, this is my sister, and they are all her own people."

Wei Xiaojuan saw that the servants were all gone, and the door was closed, so she whispered: "Before my husband died, he told me a very important thing. He said that he couldn't bury that incident in the coffin, and if one day, the eldest lord of Qingtian came to investigate the matter of Liu Tieban again, please tell the eldest lord about this matter. ”

Song Ruilong listened very carefully and said, "What did your husband Long Shi say?"

Wei Xiaojuan said: "It was one night three years ago, and Liu Tieban had not been killed at that time. My husband and Liu Tiepan went to the Broken Soul Cliff to pick yams, and the road was slippery at night, and my husband slipped into a ravine and broke one of his legs. When my husband was rescued by Liu Tiepan, Liu Tiepan was even more scared than my husband. In the end, my husband asked Liu Tieban what was going on? He said he saw one person pushing another off a cliff. There was moonlight that night, so Liu Tiepan saw the man's face, and that person also saw Liu Tiepan's face. They looked at each other for a moment, and then the man turned and went down the mountain. ”

After Su Xianrong wrote these down, he said: "That person glanced at Liu Tiepan a few times at that time, indicating that he was thinking about whether to kill Liu Tiepan at that time, and the reason why he turned around and left later was because he felt that he would not meet Liu Tiepan again in the future, so he gave up his determination to kill Liu Tiepan."

Wei Xiaojuan said: "At that time, Liu Tieban and my husband both thought so. The next day, Liu Tieban still wondered if he had read it wrong, so he himself carried a thick rope and went up to the Broken Soul Cliff and went down to the bottom of the cliff to take a look. The cliff was not bottomless, and after Liu Tieban descended to the bottom of the cliff, he didn't find any dead bodies, but he did see a lot of blood. Liu Tieban thought that the person had not been killed and had escaped, and he was relieved. When I got home, I told my husband about it. My husband also said that since the man is not dead, we don't need to report it to the official, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, I don't know what happened later?"

Wei Xiaojuan said: "Originally, we thought that the incident was over, but one day three months later, there was a very handsome son with a generous courtesy, and there were more than 100 people in his entourage, and the scene was very spectacular, which made our entire village envious." It is said that Liu Piaoxu has found a good husband. ”

Song Ruilong was a little surprised and said, "Aunt Wei, this story doesn't seem right, right?" How did I hear the people of the Zhao family say that Liu Tieban is too old-fashioned and has always been reluctant to let his daughter marry into the Zhao family, how can it become that Liu Tieban likes it very much, and is very excited? ”

Wei Xiaojuan said: "Lord Song heard about what happened later. What the woman was talking about was the beginning of the family affair. ”

Su Xianrong asked with some surprise: "Since Liu Piaoxu's parents are so happy, why did he regret his relatives later?"

Wei Xiaojuan said: "This matter has to start after Liu Tieban returns to the Zhao family." According to Liu Tiepan, he later saw the person who pushed the man off the cliff that night in the Zhao Mansion. ”

Song Ruilong asked in surprise, "Who is that person?"

Wei Xiaojuan said: "Liu Tieban said that person is Zhao Zhenxiong. Zhao Zhenxiong is Zhao Liuhou's father, if Liu Tiepan marries his daughter to Zhao Liuhou, then his daughter has to call Zhao Zhenxiong her father-in-law, he can't let his daughter marry into such a family, so Liu Tiepan strongly opposes that family business. Many people in Murakami didn't understand why Liu Tieban was opposed, but he told my husband the truth. ”

Song Ruilong went through the case again and said, "This is how it happened."

Su Xianrong opened his suspicious eyes and asked, "Brother Song, what did you think of?"

Song Ruilong stood up, walked slowly in the room, and said, "If Zhao Zhenxiong really pushed a person off the cliff at the Broken Soul Cliff, and the matter happened to be seen by Liu Tiepan, then Liu Tiepan is an eyewitness. Of course, Zhao Zhenxiong also saw Liu Tieban clearly, so the relationship between the two of them was very delicate. Zhao Zhenxiong was very afraid that Liu Tieban would denounce the bad things he had done, so he wanted to get rid of Liu Tieban very much. It was only because he was lucky at that time that he didn't have the opportunity to kill. Later......"
