Chapter 92: Original Sin
Li Sangrou took a few steps back, watched Heima and Zou Wang close the lid of the coffin, and turned to look at Lu Hepeng, "What should we do?" ”
"Zou Da has already made progress, and the first step has been done.
Luo Xianling is extremely disgusted with women showing up, he feels that Sister-in-law Qi is self-inflicted, and may even feel that Sister-in-law Qi is innocent of death, and he will definitely not spend more effort on this case, and he will not even investigate more.
It is very likely that it will be ignored, and after a while, a piece of paper will be reported, and the temperament of the Luo County Order will be written, but I am afraid that it will be written that Qi's sister-in-law does not abide by the woman's way and dies on her own, and so on.
Luo Xianling is a very honest person, and he is also considered a strong point, so it is not easy to press. ”
"Then let's check it ourselves, find it out clearly, and hand it over to him to get someone?" Li Sangrou asked.
"Here's a way." Lu Hepeng nodded hurriedly.
"The golden retriever stays here to watch, and you two little guys also stay. Let's go to Liuzi Town. Mr. Let's go with you, find it out, and if you want to rewrite the pleadings, or write something else, a confession or something, you must have Mr. Lao. Li Sangrou immediately commanded.
A few people agreed, Zou Wang led the way in front, Li Sangrou and Heima, Lu Hepeng, went straight to Liuzi Town.
Liuzi Town is only ten miles away from Linli County, and several people are walking fast, and they will arrive soon.
Li Sangrou surrounded Zou Wang's place where he found Qi's sister-in-law, turned around, and went straight to a melon shed not far away.
Li Sangrou was still separated from the melon shed by a whole piece of land, and the old man who was originally standing at the door of the melon shed, holding a pergola and watching the excitement, jumped down from the melon shed, ran in the opposite direction to Li Sangrou, and fled.
Li Sangrou stopped, looked at the old man who was trotting all the way, and fled in a hurry, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Zou Wang and asked, "Which one is the most powerful in this Liuzi Town?" What is the origin of his family? Who is in the family? What is the word of mouth?
Also, are there any scoundrels who can't be provoked? ”
"There's no one who doesn't dare to mess with it.
There is a family of village sages, which is the house of Master Wang, whose sister-in-law Qi came to deliver the letter.
Mr. Wang's father is an old talent, and he is also a well-known mentor in Suzhou.
Cao Xiucai in the city is a student of Wang Lao Xiucai, Shi Juren of Fu Li Mansion, I heard that he is also a student of Wang Lao Xiucai, Shi Juren was originally from Linli County, and after winning the move, his family moved to Fu Li Mansion.
This Shi Juren is now the counselor of Zhu Fuzun in Fuli Mansion, and he has to be reused.
Wang Laoxiu just passed his seventieth birthday last month, and his reputation is excellent, saying that he is a fairy wind.
Master Wang is an only son, there are two elder sisters, the eldest sister married Huang Yatou in the county seat, both husband and wife have passed away, the second sister married in Fuli Mansion, I heard that it is very rich, which one it is, I haven't heard yet.
Master Wang has two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter died early, the eldest son's family is in Fuli Mansion, the eldest son follows Shi Juren to study, the second son Wang Yide has just turned 20 this year and is discussing marriage, and there is a daughter, 16 this year. ”
"You're doing an excellent job." Li Sangrou praised first.
He must have also thought of what she thought of, after such a day or two, he was a foreigner, with almost no helpers, and he was busy collecting and settling his sister-in-law Qi, asking someone to complain, and he could inquire so clearly, the foreign steward she picked was extremely capable.
"It's all very good to inquire about, and you know it when you ask." Zou Wang was busy and modest.
"Go over there." Li Sangrou pointed to the entrance of the town.
At the entrance of the street that entered the town, there was a small food shop and tea shop, which was very lively.
The four of them entered the snack shop, which was originally a lively snack shop, but it was a little scary to be quiet all of a sudden.
Li Sangrou stood at the door of the shop, looking at the diners, tea customers, and idlers in the shop one by one. After reading it, he pointed to a table where only one person sat and asked with a smile, "Can you take a seat?" ”
The diner who was pointed out by Li Sangrou picked up his bowl of noodles, rushed to the side in two steps, held the bowl, and looked at Li Sangrou with a frightened expression.
"Sit down." Li Sangrou smiled and motioned to Dark Horse and the others.
Zou Wang smiled very kindly, and walked to the side of the shopkeeper of the small restaurant with a frightened face, "What are the dishes today?" You look at the two things for us, and let someone make a pot of tea first. ”
Zou Wang said, touched a dozen big coins and came out, and handed them to the young man standing next to the shopkeeper, "Go over there and buy ten baked cakes, and the rest of the money will buy you candy to eat." ”
The young man stared at the handful, which contained fifteen or sixteen big dollars, and his eyes lit up.
Ten pancakes and nine big bucks are enough!
The young man grabbed the big money from Zou Wang's hand, held the big money tightly with both hands, and rushed to the baked cake shop.
"It's a great fate to be able to have a meal under one roof.
Lao Zou, let the shopkeeper make a few more pots of tea, and then buy a few plates of dim sum, I invite everyone to drink a cup of tea and eat a few pieces of dim sum. Li Sangrou said with a smile, "Also, these people, whether they are eating or drinking tea, are counted in my account, if they will be posted, let the shopkeeper return the money to them." ”
The shop suddenly became lively, and it was also secretly scuffled, and several women pushed the children around them first, so that they could call someone.
Li Sangrou looked at the few half-grown children who were running out, and laughed loudly: "Lao Zou, tell the shopkeeper to buy more dim sum, the tea tube is enough, and the dim sum must also be enough." ”
Zou Wang raised his voice in agreement, and then raised his voice and repeated.
By the time Li Sangrou put the teacup and a freshly brewed pot of tea in front of her, the snack shop was already crowded with people, but it wasn't too noisy, and they were all busy eating snacks and drinking tea.
After a round of dim sum and a round of tea, and then another round of dim sum was served, the shop became lively.
The shopkeeper brought two plates of hot dishes over, and Li Sangrou reached out to grab him and pressed him on the stool next to him.
"The shopkeeper has worked hard, sit down and take a break, have a cup of tea, I'll treat you."
Li Sangrou said, grabbed two handfuls of copper coins from the blanket carried by the black horse, and stuffed them into the arms of the shopkeeper.
"Take it, it's your reward. You've seen him the other day, haven't you? Li Sangrou pointed at Zou Wang.
The shopkeeper wrapped the two big handfuls of money in his clothes, holding the heavy forty or fifty big money, looked at Zou Wang, gritted his teeth and said: "I've seen it, alas, the little one knows what you want to ask, alas, that day, the whole street people heard it, screaming, it was very miserable, no one said."
You don't need to inquire more, how can there be anyone else in such a tragic situation? How dare others? Who would dare?
It is! The shopkeeper snorted hard.
"Second Master of the Wang Family?" Li Sangrou asked bluntly.
"Well, who else but him." The shopkeeper looked frightened, and his voice was extremely low. "Alas, pitiful. The small one is close, and as soon as I heard someone calling for help, I hurried over and was beaten back! The little one here has been whipped up. ”
The shopkeeper twisted his body and asked Li Sangrou to look at his back.
"It's not that the people in our town are not good, not only in our town, but in this radius of one hundred and eighty miles, who dares to care about the second master's affairs?
Take care of the second master's idle business, I don't want to live anymore!
Alas, you, alas, forget it, that's really someone you can't afford to mess with.
Besides, this isn't the first one.
Last year, in the middle of the year, there was an old beggar who came to this street to ask for food, and the New Year's Eve was the same, and he was also in the woods, and he was ...... Alas, too, those who were beaten alive were thrown into the ditch over there, alas, who would dare to care?
Alas, that one is even more pitiful, there is not even a person who dares to collect her body, they are all cheap people, they all have only one life, right? ”
The shopkeeper said, and became sad and wiped away his tears.
"Thank you. If I dare to provoke, if he kills my people, I will let him fight with his life. ”
Li Sangrou smiled, picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, stood up, and told Zou Wang to pay the bill.
A few people came out and walked out of a section, Li Sangrou looked at Lu Hepeng, "The murderer has been found, what should I do next?" ”
"It depends on how the officials are, if they are willing to investigate and directly arrest the murderer, the truth will be known in the first trial.
If Shangguan shirks, it will be difficult, the Wang family has a talent, it is a gentry family, it is a village sage, what is the matter in the local township, the village sage can first determine the merits, there is a murder case, to investigate, and the village sage is the mainstay, which is all in the law. ”
Lu Hepeng sighed.
The biggest difficulty in this case is that Luo Xianling thinks that Qi's sister-in-law has shown up and is innocent.
"Let's do what we need to do first. No matter what they do, let's not be rude.
You re-write the report, go to the county office with Lao Zou again, please see the Luo County Order, know it with affection, move it with reason, use everything you can use, and it is best to persuade him to try this case clearly. Li Sangrou was silent for a moment and looked at Lu Hepengdao.
"Good!" Lu Hepeng nodded.
The big boss always does things first, and this one is very admirable.
Lu Hepeng and Zou Wang rushed to the county office, and Li Sangrou ordered the black horse in a low voice: "You go to Wang's house, see if Wang Yide is not at home, see clearly, see it is dark here, if he has no intention of running, you will go back when it gets dark." ”
"And what if he wants to run?" The dark horse hurriedly asked, this is a big matter, and we must ask clearly.
"Then wait for him to run out of town, knock him unconscious, put him in a sack, and send it to our delivery shop." Li Sangrou simply ordered directly.
The dark horse responded, went around in a circle and went straight to Wang's house, and Li Sangrou went back to her sister-in-law's house in the county seat.
……………………
When Lu Hepeng and Zou Wang returned to Qi's sister-in-law's house, it was already dark
The black horse also just came back, and was squatting next to Li Sangrou, watching Li Sangrou feed Sister Guo a bowl of minced meat spoon by spoon, while talking about how he entered the Wang family, who was in the Wang family, how did he see Wang Yide, and Wang Yide was drinking and throwing pots with two young men who were about the same age as him.
The Wang family is sunny and peaceful.
Li Sangrou listened intently, squinted slightly, heard the sound of footsteps, and turned her head to look at Lu Hepeng and Zou Wang, who came in one after the other.
"How?" Li Sangrou looked at the two and asked.
"Luo County Ling said that it is too late today, and tomorrow Wang Yide and Master Wang will come over and ask for a good time." Lu Hepeng looked tired.
"It's perfunctory." Zou Wang looked at Li Sangrou and said bluntly, "Mr. Lu has said all the good and bad things, and he turned his face again, Luo County ordered oil and salt not to enter."
That means, Sister-in-law Qi is not abiding by women's morals, not only running around in the city, but also daring to run out of the city, that is, she is asking for her own death, and it is a matter of time before she dies, and she deserves it. The more Zou Wang spoke, the more angry he became.
"Like Luo Xianling, he has no worries about food and clothing, he has been immersed in reading since he was sensible, and he doesn't know the fireworks in the world, how can he know how difficult it is to live." Li Sangrou's tone was cold, and after a moment, he sighed deeply.
"He also said that even if he starves to death, he can't lose his benevolence and righteousness, really, bah!" Zou Wang snorted angrily.
"Just leave two little guys here to watch, let's find a good rest for the guests, there are still a few days to be busy." Li Sangrou said, bending down to pick up Sister Guo'er.
……………………
Early the next morning, Li Sangrou asked Heima to buy filial piety clothes, and took matters into her own hands, bathed Sister Guo'er, washed her hair, and changed her into clean filial piety clothes.
The golden retriever ran in with a puff of smoke. "Boss! Shopkeeper Zou followed the yamen to Liuzi Town to pass on Wang Yide, and Mr. Lu said that he was waiting in the yamen, let me come back and tell you. ”
"Well, you go and watch, the people are here, come and call me." Li Sangrou commanded.
The shop they picked was very close to the county government.
Li Sangrou fed Sister Guo a small half bowl of vegetable porridge, put the tired and stupid Sister Guo on the bed, watched her close her eyes, and she was crooked on the other bed, closing her eyes to recuperate.
"Boss! Here it comes! The golden retriever gently nudged Li Sangrou.
Li Sangrou got up, looked at the sleeping Sister Guo'er, motioned to the golden retriever to look at Sister Guo'er, took the black horse, and went out to the county office.
The two went straight into the county office, stood at the door of the lobby, side by side with Zou Wang, and looked at Master Wang, who was greeting Luo County Ling, and Wang Yide, who was following Master Wang, who looked like a well-behaved nephew.
Finally greeted him, Luo Xian Ling asked Master Wang to sit down, and asked people to take another chair, so that Wang Yide also sat down, nodded to Lu He Peng, and smiled with Master Wang: "This! He said that he was the master of Shunfeng Express, and said that in the past, in the palace of Prince Rui, he also had a counselor! ”
Luo Xian Ling bit the four words of Prince Rui's Mansion with a look of disdain.
"Running to me, since yesterday, I have not been relenting, and it has been a trouble today.
It's really a last resort, please ask Master Wang to take a trip and tell me a thing or two.
It's about the female corpse outside your town before, this one, Master Lu, is actually crooked on Ling Lang's head, it's really ridiculous! ”
The corners of Luo Xianling's mouth pulled down with a sneer, "Master Wang, don't take it to heart, our children can't do such a thing." Tell him what's going on. ”
"Yes." Master Wang smiled and responded, "The county also knows that because of the old father's seventieth birthday, in the past few days, there are still birthday guests at home who have not left, and a few children have always been accompanied by children."
This female corpse is not a female corpse, and he doesn't hide it from the county honor, he doesn't know it yet. ”
Master Wang stroked his beard, and said with a smile to Luo County's relatives:
"That morning, I heard from my husband that a female corpse had been found outside the town, so I asked people to see it, saying that it was swollen and unrecognizable, and that she had been dead for I don't know how many days.
The husband and the people who watched the mound outside the town all said that they were afraid that the wild dogs dug up the wild grave and dragged the corpse out, alas, pitiful.
The county also knows that outside Liuzi Town, there is a righteous mound. ”
"This mound of righteousness is your merit." Lord Luo Xian Ling Chong arched his hand and complimented him with a smile.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this is all the county's good governance.
I immediately instructed them to go down and ask them to go find a few monks first, recite a few volumes of supernatal mantras, and then put the female corpse back into the ground.
Later, because I had been busy and didn't know what had happened in the middle, I heard that it was not the female corpse in the mound, but that she had been killed.
Liuxia Town has always been simple and simple, and has never heard of such a tragic thing, and there has never been such a wicked person in Liuxia Town.
Later, I heard that the deceased was a Qi woman in the city.
Does the county know that this Qi woman is a prostitute who is half-hidden? ”
Luo Xian Ling turned his head sharply and glared at Lu Hepeng, "Do you know that Mrs. Qi is a prostitute?" ”
"Hui Xianzun, this has nothing to do with the case of Qi being mutilated to death." Lu Hepeng's patience had long been exhausted, and his tone was stiff, and he replied very unceremoniously.
Luo Xian Ling squinted at Lu Hepeng, and sneered again and again, "A person is as cheap as a husband, I have a few such prostitutes in Linjian County, and this folk customs can be better, that is the blessing of all the people!"
There is Lao Wang to go on this trip, this case, it has been clearly understood, a prostitute, he died, I don't know who threw him outside Liuzi Town, hum, such a cheap goods who thundered and split in the sky, but it dirty the soil of Liuzi Town! ”
Li Sangrou didn't want to listen anymore, and beckoned Lu Hepeng, "Mr. Lu, let's go." ”
Lu Hepeng hurriedly turned around, and together with Zou Wang, followed Li Sangrou and the dark horse and walked out.
Li Sangrou spoke, and Luo Xianling saw Li Sangrou, stared at Li Sangrou's back, and smacked, "No man or woman, what kind of system!" Monster! Slut! Offend public decency! Shameless! ”
Li Sangrou listened to it.
Lu Hepeng and Hei Ma Li also ignored it, Zou Wang turned around and glanced coldly at Luo County Order.
"What shall we do? I'll go back and find Mr. Wen ......" Lu Hepeng took two steps, followed Li Sangrou, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't need him. Have you ever seen torture? Are you afraid? Li Sangrou asked Lu Hepeng as she walked towards the store.
"I've seen it, aren't you afraid, let?" Lu Hepeng was stunned and tortured? To whom is it tortured?
"Well, that's good, let's have lunch, we're not out of the city yet." Li Sangrou's voice was calm.
Zou Wang's heart jumped a few times, and Sister-in-law Qi was not going out of the city before and after, going to Liuxia Town, and never going back.
