From the year to the end of the year, the people of the capital have been talking about things after tea and dinner.

As big as the Emperor Taishang's 180 dowry into Jiang's house, as small as the trivial things in the neighborhood next door.

On this day, before dawn, none of the shops on the street were open, and there were not even a few pedestrians.

Not to mention that none of the officials in the yamen have yet to be on duty.

Yin Liu Qingshan, the governor of Shuntian Mansion, had just gone down to the court, and he rested and drank tea to warm up in the back office.

He is in his forties, looking a little blessed, with a three-point smile on his face, and some people jokingly call him the Zhenshan Maitreya Buddha in the capital.

He didn't know whether he was a town or not, but he knew that he had to do this Maitreya Buddha.

Why, you ask? That is the place in the capital, and throwing a small stone may hit the royal relatives, princes and nobles.

Behind these big people are branches and vines, involving all kinds of interests, which is not something that he, a small Shuntian Mansion Yin, can offend.

Fortunately, from the first emperor to the emperor and even today, he is not a faint monarch, and the security of this capital is under his smiling face, no, it still looks very good under governance.

He thought that today he could drink tea in the back office again, and then deal with a few trivial things, and then he could go home to accompany his wife.

Unexpectedly, before he finished drinking a cup of tea and his body was warmed up, someone came to report the case!

said that Puji'an died, but the one who died was still the daughter of the military department Shangshu and the wife of General Zhenbei.

A person who worships the Buddha in Puji Nunnery suddenly dies.

It was a half-old little Taoist aunt of Puji Nunnery who came to report the case, and she was instructed by the head of Puji Nunnery, Miaoyin Daochang, and when she saw the tragic situation, she rode into Beijing in an ox cart to report the news.

Xiao Daogu snorted and cried, talking about the tragic situation at that time, and silently recited in her heart, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ’

Xiaodao went to the courtyard to change incense candles as usual, but he never expected to see a shadow swaying on the window lattice.

At that time, Xiaodao was frightened, thinking that it was a ghost, but thinking that it was Puji Nunnery, with the blessing of Tianzun, which ghost would dare to make a mistake? So I had the courage to take a closer look, and the result was ...... Results ......"

Xiao Daogu cried out with a 'wow', "It turned out to be a dead person, it was Mrs. Xu who went to the nunnery to eat fast last winter." ”

Xiaodao was frightened and hurriedly went to the owner of the nunnery to report the news, because the matter was very important, the owner of the nunnery did not dare to be self-conscious, so let Xiaodao report the news.

"Whether it is suicide or homicide, I hope the government can find out, after all, Puji Nunnery will continue to open for a long time."

"Please also ask Master Qingtian to go to Puji Nunnery to find out, and please inform the Jiang family and the Xu family."

"Let's see if they bring Mrs. Xu's body back to the house, or if Puji Nunnery will bury it on their behalf......"

Liu Qingshan asked, "Is the scene cleaned up?" ”

Xiao Daogu shook her head, "No, although Puji Nunnery is a new nunnery, as soon as the incense is turned on, it is liked by those religious ladies' wives."

In recent years, generally speaking, religious wives and wives come to Puji Nunnery to cultivate, and Buddhist wives go to Izumoji Temple to worship Buddha.

In the past few years, there have been more than ten wives and wives who have hanged themselves in the nunnery, and there are still a few.

The owner of the nunnery told us not to clean it up, saying that we were afraid that we would not be able to tell it when the time came, and the courtyard where Mrs. Xu lived had been sealed, and others could not enter......"

Liu Qingshan didn't know whether to praise the owner of Puji Nunnery or be sarcastic.

Knowing that sticking a seal will not destroy the scene, and being afraid of blackmail by his family, this is clearly that he has seen too many things about those who have no hope of survival and finally hang themselves.

Liu Qingshan asked people to take Xiaodao Gu down, and ordered someone to go to Jiang's house, and the Xu family reported the news.

Jiang Chong's side soon got the letter, and when the official sent by Liu Qingshan to report the news arrived, he was having breakfast with Jiang Song.

Because Jiang Xuan pretended to be incense, the matter of running away from home made Jiang Song have little appetite.

My daughter is older, so I really don't have any ideas.

He tossed and turned all night, thinking that if Lin Tang was here, his daughter would whisper to her.

"What do you say? Hui's ...... Hanged yourself? Jiang Song's chopsticks in his stunned hand almost fell off.

The person who came to report the news was a servant, so naturally it was the official from Puji'an, Jiang Chong asked the housekeeper to take care of the official who reported the news, and his face was dark.

Because of this news, the brothers couldn't eat breakfast and asked their subordinates to remove the things from the table.

"People were sent by our family, the Xu family must have something to say, how can people say that they will die......" Jiang Song felt incredible.

Jiang Chong knocked on the table, and wanted to touch the beard on his chin, but what he touched was smooth, "People, they definitely didn't kill themselves."

When the Xu family was sent to the nunnery, the Xu family and even the Xu family were waiting for the matter to be over, and then they would take her back to the capital, and the Xu family could make a pregnancy into the house, such a situation was by no means a time when she ran out of ammunition and food, how could she hang herself? ”

Jiang Song nodded, it really makes sense.

"Since it wasn't suicide, who did it?" That's the important question.

Although Jiang Song is an uncle, he also knows what happened back then, and he knows what Xu's conduct is, how could such a woman, who does not break her hands in order to achieve her goal, die so easily.

But for now, whether it is suicide or not, the Xu family will bite the Jiang family and not let go.

After all, the Jiang family did not leave the Xu family, and the Xu family still had the name of Mrs. Jiang on his head.

Although Jiang Chong is a martial artist, he is not a simple-minded person with developed limbs, he said to Jiang Song with a calm expression,

"Old Uncle Xu, this old fox, no matter how the Xu family died, will not let us go, and now we have to prepare for them to find fault.

And it is necessary to find out who killed it. ”

Jiang Song nodded, "It's okay if it's suicide, but hey, big brother, let's go to the nunnery to see the situation first." ”

"If it was really him who killed him, Shuntianfu Yin is Liu Qingshan, and he shouldn't be in the same league as the Xu family."

I really can't blame the Jiang Chong brothers for taking precautions, the contradictions between the Xu family and the Jiang family have reached the point of irreconcilability, at this time, the Xu family is dead, and there are too many articles that can be done.

If it was in the past, maybe Jiang Chong wouldn't have made such a plan first, but after Nanyan's incident, Jiang Chong's heart had palpitations.

People are like this, they all climb over from pit to pit.

The brothers sent someone to the yamen to take leave, made it clear to the second wife, and went to Puji Nunnery.

When I arrived at Puji Nunnery, the outside had been under martial law by Shuntianfu, and the pilgrims who came early in the morning to offer incense were surrounded outside.

Jiang Chong and the two brothers, under the guidance of the Taoist aunt in the nunnery, went to the small courtyard where the Xu family lived.

Liu Qingshan had already arrived inside, and was questioning, but the people of the Xu family were nowhere to be seen.

The brothers entered Xu's house and saw the rope hanging from the beam, and the corpse lying under the window lattice covered with a white cloth.

When the officials inside saw Jiang Chong and them coming in, they followed the rules and lifted the white cloth that was covered, so that Jiang Chong could recognize them.

The white cloth was torn open, Xu Shi's eyes were open, his tongue was sticking out, there was a crimson mark on his neck, and a little corpse spot had begun to appear on the exposed skin.

Without waiting for Jiang Chong and the others to withdraw, they saw Old Uncle Xu coming in from the door with a dark face, followed by Old Lady Xu with tears rippling behind him.

As soon as Old Uncle Xu entered the door, his eyes swept over Jiang Chong, his hands hung down at his side, clenched into fists, and his tone was even colder than the weather outside.

"Did my Chan'er really go?"

The servant on the side was probably frightened by Uncle Xu, and unconsciously leaned back, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"Xu Shangshu, you came just in time, General Zhenbei has already recognized it just now, you can recognize it again."

What do you recognize? Recognize the corpse.

Without waiting for Old Uncle Xu to walk over, the old lady Xu behind her cried out with a 'wow', staggered over, crying straight out, crying out of breath, crying on the verge of collapse.

She lay on Xu's body, who was already lifeless, just crying, not screaming, not scolding, just crying.

Crying makes people feel painful, and tears fall unconsciously.

There are three unbearable pains in life, one is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, one is that they will never see each other after separation, and the last one is that they will never see each other.

Xu's death made Mrs. Xu experience the first pain, her tears were real, and her pain emanated from the depths of her heart.

Old Uncle Xu's eyes were also red, and he barely bent over to help his wife up from the corpse, he didn't look at Xu, he seemed to be holding back his tears,

"How did you die? How do you say that death is death? If people are sent in well, why do they die? ”

His voice was low and hoarse, his eyes were red, and he questioned Jiang Chong,

"At the beginning, I said that I would repair the Buddhist hall at home, but you didn't agree to it, and you wanted to send her in, and now Chan'er is dead, did you Jiang family do it?"

His eyes were scarlet, and his eyes were like knives, shooting towards Jiang Chong.

Jiang Chong arched his hand, "Old uncle, the people in this nunnery went to report the news, saying that they had committed suicide by hanging beams, and now they have reported to the official, whether they commit suicide or kill him, naturally the government decides." ”

"Besides, life and death are fateful, people are in the nunnery, how is it specific, why don't you ask Miaoyin Daoist?"

Outside, Liu Qingshan had already said a good word, and came in and said to Old Uncle Xu and Jiang Chong,

"Two, just now the official has asked a rough circle, the Xu family seems to have committed suicide by hanging the beam for the time being, and the people from the Shangfu government here have also completed the exploration, this person, will you take it back and bury it first?"

Mrs. Xu had just fainted from crying, and the maid who accompanied her pinched the person and took a medicine bottle to smell it in her nose.

This will wake up and turn around, and I happened to hear Liu Qingshan ask, do you want to take people back.

"Of course you have to take it back, Jiang Chong, you promised Chan'er that there would be a lot of hair, and our family agreed to send her to Puji Nunnery. And now? ”

Old Madam Xu's voice was pathetic, if she could, she would probably be able to break Jiang Chong's body into pieces.

I only heard her eyes bloodshot, staring at Jiang Chong and continuing,

"Our Chan'er is still the wife of the Jiang family, and now that Chan'er is dead, I want you to keep Chan'er for three years, and the Jiang family will take Chan'er's ranking back to the Jiang family and receive the incense of the Jiang family!"

Mrs. Xu mentioned all the conditions that were most favorable to the Xu family.

It's just that this man is dead, so what's the use of asking for them?

What's more, is the Xu family worthy of letting the Jiang family take it back?

Why did you come to the temple? Jiang and Xu are well aware.

Jiang Chong put his hands behind his back and did not look at Old Madam Xu, but looked directly at Old Uncle Xu,

"Old uncle, why did you send it here in the first place, you and I know it, so don't say the reason in front of Fu Yin, right?"

"I've been used to it for more than ten years anyway, I'm afraid that your Xu family can't afford to lose that person......"

Jiang Chong looked at Old Uncle Xu indifferently, as if everything was up to him.

Liu Qingshan thought it was just an ordinary suicide case, he asked the little Taoist aunt in detail, but he didn't expect that there was an inside story that he didn't know.

He really wants to solve the case, but he doesn't want to listen to other people's gossip.

I know too much, but I don't end well.

Old Uncle Xu's eyes were bloodshot, and he quickly swept over Jiang Chong and the others.

He pursed his lips, full of anger,

"Lord Liu, you said that you have surveyed the scene, what is the result?"

He took a deep breath and said again, "You are Shuntianfu Yin, you don't know how many cases like this have been investigated, if the house has not been destroyed, there are obvious traces of a fight inside."

If the doors and windows are not broken, then the thief did not break through the window.

Looking at the traces of the fight here, it fully shows that the thief came in through the main entrance, and my son was unprepared.

When the thief was in a standoff with my son, he brought the utensils in the house.

If Chan'er had hanged herself, it would have been impossible for that stool to roll such a long distance.

Also, look at ......"

He squatted in front of Xu's corpse and pointed at her neck, "There is a faint invisible tightness on the head now, if it is suicide, there will never be such a trace." ”

"Lord Liu, you have been in Shuntian Mansion Yin for so many years, you are deeply favored by the emperor and loved by the people, such a simple case can always be clear, right?"

Old Uncle Xu looked at General Zhenbei as if he were a murderer, which made the keen Liu Qingshan realize that the two of them were on the bar.

It is said, "Three lives are unfortunate, attached to Guo County, three lives are evil, attached to Guo Provincial City, full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng." ”

Liu Qingshan, who was named, felt that he had definitely done a great sin in his previous life and lacked great virtue, otherwise he would never have done this Shuntian Mansion Yin.

He said to Old Uncle Xu,

"Xu Shangshu, you have lost your beloved daughter, and your grief-stricken mood is fully understood.

Now that the case has been reported, whether it is suicide or homicide, this official must investigate thoroughly, not wronged the good people, and will not let the bad people go. ”

"As for what you said, our people have already recorded it. Although you are the secretary of the military department, you are also different from us and have the functions of the yamen, I hope you can give us some trust. ”

When Old Uncle Xu heard this, he didn't laugh angrily,

"It is precisely because the old man trusts you that he tells you what he sees, since you know that the old man has lost his beloved daughter, then the old man asks you.

The old man is a father and a husband, how can he not feel uncomfortable? How can you not make the thief pay for his blood and blood? ”

Although Uncle Xu was a thin and shriveled old man, he was as vicious as a hungry wolf.

Because of the loss of cubs, ready to go, I don't know what to do.

From beginning to end, Jiang Chong's face was calm and peaceful, except for expressing doubts about Old Madam Xu's words, he never spoke, and quietly looked at Old Uncle Xu angry.

Uncle Xu's questioning made Liu Qingshan no longer ask whether to take the Xu family and bury him.

simply saw that Pu Ji'an became a yamen and began to ask about the case.

He first asked people to summon him up the mountain, and he waited at the bottom of the mountain, and when he heard the summons, he immediately went up the mountain.

He asked Xu's body to be moved to an empty room, and then Jiang and Xu waited outside.

The people waiting were not only Jiang and Xu, but also Liu Qingshan, the head of Puji Nunnery, Miaoyin Daochang and others.

Miaoyin led everyone to the side meditation room to wait for the results.

She has already arranged for the Taoist aunt in the nunnery to recite scriptures for the Xu family.

Old Madam Xu had already woken up from her fainting, and when she saw that she couldn't make any conditions for Jiang Chong, she looked at Jiang Chong with resentment and resentment.

Among the few people sitting here, I'm afraid that only Old Madam Xu is really sad, right?

Old Uncle Xu lowered his eyes and sipped tea, his face was swollen and full of anger.

His feelings for this daughter are too complicated, hate and resentment, love and pity are intertwined, and in the end hate prevails.

As for the Jiang Chong brothers, when the Xu family was alive, the relationship was not good, and it was impossible to be sad at all if they wore such a hat for the Jiang family.

Especially Jiang Chong, although he agreed to send the Xu family to the nunnery, he definitely didn't want her to have a good end, and Lin Tang's life Xu also did evil.

It's just that he didn't expect that before he could do it, Xu Shi was already dead.

This caught him off guard.

is still so unclear that he is dead, and even according to Xu Laofox's meaning, he said that he was an acquaintance who committed the crime, and it was clear that he had the intention of pushing the crime on the head of the Jiang family.

He straightened his back vigilantly and vigilantly, waiting to see what tricks Old Uncle Xu played.

He came out of the house after noon, he saluted everyone, and then said to Liu Qingshan,

"My lord, there are no obvious external injuries on the body of the deceased, the only injury is on the neck, this injury is two, it is suspected that the person strangled him first, and then was artificially put into a rope and hung on a beam, disguised as the scene of suicide."

Although there have been speculations for a long time, as soon as the words came out, the faces of the people present changed greatly.

It was the best work of Shuntian Mansion Yin, and he continued to report with an expressionless face,

"There is no trace of intrusion in the lower body of the deceased, and in addition, combined with the adult's investigation, the money and jewelry in the house have not been lost, and the position is also intact, so it should not be killed for money.

In addition, since it came from the main entrance, and the first strangulation mark seemed to be a person standing behind the deceased and unexpectedly entered, it was thought that the murderer and the deceased were acquaintances.

Only acquaintances who know each other can make people defenseless and make him easy to start. ”

A good servant is a good assistant who can find clues from the corpse and help Shangguan solve the case better.

Not to mention that this trick is the trump card in Liu Qingshan's hand.

After checking the body, it was Liu Qingshan's turn to ask the informant and the insider.

He summoned Xiao Dao Gu who found that Xu had hanged himself and later went to the Yamen to report the news, as well as the Xiao Dao Gu in the courtyard next door, the third was the Taoist who meditated in the Buddhist hall, and the little Dao Gu who guarded the mountain gate.

None of these people asked to take it over, and Liu Qingshan was not discouraged, after these questions, it was the turn of the Dao Gu who sprinkled and swept in the yard.

The Dao Gu who did the sprinkling and sweeping was either old or had just entered the mountain, and the Dao Gu who was sent to Xu's yard was an old Dao Gu in her forties, and because she did chores, she looked a little wrinkled.

"Have there been suspicious people in and out of Xu's yard?"

"Not really, the incense in the nunnery is flourishing, in addition to fasting, there are many noble ladies who come to practice, and Mrs. Xu doesn't see anyone else except for talking to a few familiar ladies."

A few familiar ladies, Liu Qingshan was about to ask which lady it was and where she lived, the old Taoist aunt thought about it and looked at Jiang Chong hesitantly,

"Yesterday, no other laymen came to look for Mrs. Xu, but I saw the eldest girl from the General's Mansion in Zhenbei with a few maids to fight Jiao."

"The eldest girl not only made incense and Jiao, but also came to Mrs. Xu's yard to find Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter."

"At that time, Poor Dao had already cleaned the yard and rested in the back room over there, when I heard the quarrel between Miss Jiang and Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter......

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately jumped up, "It turns out that the murderer is that little slut, Lord Liu, hurry up to Jiang's house and arrest the murderer......"

Because of the words of the old Daogu, everyone remembered that there was also a Jiang Zhu'er.

Mrs. Xu only cared about crying about her daughter's death, and she didn't remember Jiang Zhu'er who made her lose face at all.

Old Uncle Xu suddenly had a sudden burst in his heart, when he met with Xu yesterday, she was the only one in the room, and no one saw it when he started.

Where was Pearl then?

How did she disappear?

Jiang Chong has always been wary of Uncle Xu, and he didn't remember that there was another Jiang Zhu'er at all.

It can only be said that Jiang Zhu'er's poor people must have something to hate, otherwise, why doesn't anyone think of it?

Liu Qingshan heard the old Daogu mention it, and looked at the catcher on the side, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't see anyone else.

He frowned.

Miaoyin Daoist insisted on brushing the dust and frowned lightly, "When I blocked the gate of the courtyard today, I didn't find Miss Zhu'er, why, didn't Poor Dao report it?" ”

"It's really like this happened, and the people in the nunnery were panicked, probably forgetting that since the mother and daughter were together at that time, was it the thief who kidnapped Miss Zhu'er?"

Old Uncle Xu clenched his fists and groaned.

Jiang Chongdao, "No matter where Miss Zhu'er is, please ask Lord Liu to send someone to look around in the nunnery, if she doesn't leave the nunnery, maybe there will be a ...... to save her."

Old Madam Xu snorted and took a sip of Jiang Chong, "Jiang Chong, don't be pretty, my daughter and niece, were they harmed by your eldest girl?" ”

"That's a joke, it's an acquaintance who committed the crime, only your daughter came to see them yesterday, who else is besides her?"

Mrs. Xu knelt down in front of Liu Qingshan, she was a second-class order, although Liu Qingshan was an official of the imperial court, Mrs. Xu was not a criminal, and she couldn't stand her kneeling, he flashed his body, and wanted to step forward to help Mrs. Xu,

"Old lady, what are you doing, get up and speak."

Mrs. Xu insisted on kneeling on the ground,

"The eldest girl of the Jiang family has been in the frontier for more than ten years, her kung fu is strong, how can my daughter and niece, two weak women, stand her poisonous hands?

I beg Lord Liu to avenge the two of them. ”

Her cloudy eyes were full of tears, her ravine-covered face was full of tears, and her gray hair was unkempt, and she looked so pitiful and miserable.

Jiang Chong snorted, it turned out that the Xu family's goal was here, and they were not aiming at themselves, but Ah Xuan!

"Old lady, now there is no evidence, have you seen my daughter kill with your own eyes? If you are so stubborn, I can sue you for slandering my daughter......"

Old Madam Xu knelt on the ground and cried, "Jiang Chong, don't think that your daughter can escape if she is favored by the Emperor." ”

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, but your daughter has not yet entered the palace. Don't want to escape......"

Jiang Chong sneered, the people of the Xu family are really shameless, the Xu family still doesn't know how he died, and he actually wants to pull Ah Xuan into the water.
