Chapter 56: Poisoned
"Oh yes,"
Zong Jiyuan turned around and said,
"Third brother, I talked to Gongzi Zhou just now, and there are doubts about the cause of death of the uncle and wife of the Zhou family, and it still needs to be investigated. Please take a few brothers to escort them back to the county government first, and explain the situation to the adults, saying that it is inconvenient for the coffins of the Zhou family and his wife to move to the yazhong, and ask him to send Mr. Ye to work hard and come here for a while. ”
"Okay, got it."
Diao Saburo nodded, left two messengers for Zong Jiyuan, and he and the rest of the brothers escorted Wang Sanxiang and these people back to the county office.
And Lord He was not waiting in the yazhong, during this period, the official document issued by Fengtianfu was delivered, in addition to routine matters, there was also the official appointment of the post of Zongji Yuan.
After receiving this document, He Ruichang was very happy, after all, his right-hand man had rightfully become an official in the county government. After sending off the errand, he was happy, and Diao Saburo escorted the villains to the entrance of the hall.
Knowing that Zong Jiyuan went, there should be no big problem with the case, but after all, there is no result or it can't be taken lightly, and when he saw them coming back, Lord He immediately asked about the details.
After listening to Diao Saburo's narration, He Ruichang couldn't help laughing, then nodded and ordered,
"Bring those three accomplices to court first."
"Huh!"
A response, the voice of the hall was everywhere, and when the three villains were brought to the hall, they were already frightened. Under questioning, it turned out that these three people were just gangsters from the same village as Wang San, and Lord He scolded them separately for forty in the court, and after filing and detaining, they were driven out of the court.
When he arrived at Wang Sanxiang, he had to inquire carefully, but after three pushes and four questions, this guy didn't even know that the Zhou family and his wife were poisoned, but he confessed that the guy who escaped and had been giving him ideas from the side was surnamed Wei, I don't know what the specific name is, but everyone called him "Wei Sanye".
It seems that he has a share in seeking wealth, and the king does not know the three things about murder, but even so, the charges of forcible robbery and extortion have been confirmed, especially the desecration of the coffin of the deceased, which is even more unforgivable. He immediately sentenced him to seven years of hard labor and ordered him to be sent to prison, which was to be reported and to be executed.
After dealing with these gangsters, He Ruichang rushed to Hexi Village with Mr. Ye non-stop, after all, the case is a matter of human life, and it is impossible not to investigate it in person.
And Zong Jiyuan, who stayed in the Zhou family, had already asked the servants and neighbors in detail for some details again, and after having a few things in his heart, he helped Zhou Zitong rearrange the mourning hall, just waiting for him to come.
At this time, sitting in the side hall of the main hall, with the tea and watermelons made by the servants on the table in front of him, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but glance up at Zhou Zitong who was kneeling in front of the mourning hall.
Although it seems that the murderer should be the so-called second grandmother, I heard the servant say that the woman was just from a small family in Wangjiagang, and before she got married, when she was at home, except for accompanying her parents to the county town and selling some of her own leftover fruits and vegetables, she should have no other knowledge. And Wang San, no matter how you look at it, is a guy who doesn't have much heart, and he can't be connected with this kind of trick, it seems that there is someone else who can come up with this slightly complicated idea of poisoning.
Could it be that "Wei Sanye"-
What the hell is this guy doing......
While drinking tea and thinking, suddenly an errand officer who was guarding the door ran in.
"Master, our adults are here!"
"Oh, yes!"
Unexpectedly, on such a hot day, Lord He came in person, Zong Jiyuan hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and walked quickly to the door, but saw He Ruichang and Mr. Ye getting off the car, so he stepped forward to salute,
"My lord, the students are polite."
"Don't be so polite,"
He Ruichang smiled and waved his hand,
"Let's go and see."
"Okay."
As he spoke, Zong Jiyuan led the way in front, and everyone entered the courtyard together and came directly to the main hall.
This is where the mourning hall of Zhou Ziyi and his wife is located, and Zhou Zitong, who was kneeling there to guard the spirit of his brother and sister-in-law, looked up and saw that the county commander had come in person, and hurriedly got up to greet him.
"My lord, I didn't expect you to come, forgive the grass people for their filial piety, and they can't give big gifts......"
"Oh, that's it,"
Lord He looked at him and said,
"Zhou Zitong, this official is here to make the case of my brother and sister-in-law, but let me put incense on the deceased first."
"Thank you, Lord for calling the shots for the grass people."
While thanking him, Zhou Zitong took the incense from the side and handed it to Master He, and after he went up, he and Zong Jiyuan accompanied him to the side hall and offered tea.
He Ruichang sat down, raised his hand and pointed to Mr. Ye, saying,
"Zhou Zitong, this is Mr. Ye from this county, you must know his intention."
"Yes, the grass people know ......"
Zhou Zitong nodded, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.
When Zong Jiyuan saw it, he stepped forward and pulled him aside to comfort him,
"Don't worry, our adults will take care of it."
"Well, that's up to the adults......"
Zhou Zitong finally calmed down.
Nodding slightly, Lord He looked at Mr. Ye and signaled to him, and Mr. Ye got up and walked towards the mourning hall.
In fact, it didn't take long, but it seemed like a long time had passed to the people in the side hall. Everyone knows that the general result of the test must be very painful for Zhou Zitong, and this kind of pain, even if it is persuasion, it will not help, so Zong Jiyuan and Master He remained silent until Mr. Ye came back.
"How? What's unusual? ”
Seeing that he had finished inspecting, Lord He hurriedly asked.
Mr. Ye replied slowly while wiping his freshly washed hands,
"Lord Hui, this couple really died of unnatural death, on the surface, it was suffocation, but the reason for this should be because they were poisoned by something they ate, resulting in poor breathing and death."
"Big Brother, Big Brother......"
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhou Zitong couldn't help but tremble.
When Zong Jiyuan saw this, his heart suddenly felt pity, and instinctively held his hand in the palm of his hand and comforted him softly,
"Master Zhou, don't worry, we will definitely find out the truth and avenge my brother and sister-in-law."
"Well, thank you......"
A warm force spread throughout his body from the other party's hands, giving him a feeling that he could be completely relied on, and Zhou Zitong's empty heart suddenly became peaceful.
At this time, when Lord He heard this result, he nodded at Mr. Ye and said,
"Good work."
After speaking, he turned back to look at Zong Jiyuan,
"Master, what should I do next?"
