Chapter Seventy-Nine
Li Chengxun, escorted by four people, arrived at No. 23.
Chun Ming carried the food box, and Xichi put the black and gold lacquer food box on the table of the Eight Immortals, and brought the small table to the center from the side of the couch.
Li Chengxun got up, and the servant woman on the side immediately gave her a handkerchief to clean her hands, wiped it, looked at her sister who was still wearing a felt hat with a smile, and said with some distress: "If it's okay, just send a few proper people to come, you don't have to come every time." ”
Jiang Si, who was wearing a white felt hat, shook his head solemnly, "No, I have to come back." ”
Li Chengxun sat on the futon, "What are you afraid of, they don't dare to poison me." ”
"They don't dare, maybe there are other bad guys. Didn't my brother forget that he was hit so many times last time, saying that he offended the princess of Liang Guo, it was not so ruthless, and my brother was still careful. ”
Jiang Si rolled up his sleeves and refilled a cup of tea for Li Chengxun.
"My brother never told me the truth about that day, and my sister didn't ask. However, beating my sister to death will not believe that my brother is deliberately offending the princess of Liang Guo as they say. ”
Li Chengxun nodded, the memory in the dream, where was there a princess that night, only a secret guard who said that the princess met the original owner.
"I don't say it's for your good, you are obedient in the house, if you like to do business, do business, if you like a banquet, you will go to take care of a few posts, if you don't like it, you will go back, outside things, everything has a brother."
Jiang Si was slightly flattened on the surface of the felt hat, and felt that it was a little inappropriate for his brother to say such things with vigor in the depths of prison, but his heart was still warm.
In the past, his brother would only stand silently behind, but now he is standing in front of him.
I don't know when she was also used to her brother standing in front of her, was it Fang Yi's time? Or did my brother ask my cousin for a reward from the county lord? Or is the Flying Feather Guard in front of you?
"I know that my brother is powerful, but I don't know when my brother plans to go back?"
Jiang Si added food for Li Chengxun on the side and did not eat together, "When I came, I saw a lot of people in front of the mansion, and it seemed that they were coming out for my brother, but now that Qin Shu is afraid that he is already anxious." ”
"Quite a few people?"
Jiang Si nodded, and Li Chengxun outside saw that the felt hat was lower.
"I heard that there were more people before, and they occupied half the street."
"Did something happen? Why did you suddenly come and petition for me? "Under Li Chengxun's influence, the reputation of the original owner is just a little better than that Zhao Yang.
Some people petitioned for her, and she didn't dare to think about borrowing Li Chengxun's three tiger guts.
took a sip of tea to suppress his mind, "Don't you kid? ”
Jiang Si shook his head and once again piled up a small "pyramid" on the small bowl in front of Li Chengxun.
"Presumably, my brother has also taken care of Zhuangzi recently, and he also knows the details of that Xue Dafu, these bad things that have lost their conscience, they didn't know it originally, but they all fell on his brother's head in one go.
Now that my brother has gone to prison because he cleaned up the evil servants, some people are naturally worried, and this morning a lot of white bone female corpses were dug up from Xue Dafu's residence in Zhuangzi, and even on the mountain behind, which made the whole Kyoto boiling.
The families of those women got a lot of news, they only thought they were sold, but they didn't expect to be buried and replaced, and when they heard the news, although they were sad, they still missed their brother's virtue in their hearts, and they didn't come to complain for their brother. ”
Li Chengxun sighed, the weather outside is fine now, and the sun is slightly dazzling.
"When you go out, you can change some people and rent a refreshment shop to send some water to the people outside to drink and eat, and send them to the yamen as well, and then persuade the people to leave."
"Hmm."
Li Chengxun stopped his chopsticks and said curiously: "Why aren't you curious, ask me why I gave up such a good opportunity to exert pressure?" ”
"My brother has his own reason."
The curvature of the corners of Li Chengxun's mouth was much higher, and the plate of white meat in front of him was a little delicious.
At noon, many families with a little property went to prison to deliver food.
But now the two columns of the Bingzi have no appetite at this time, and there are not only delicious food but also beautiful and sensible sisters on the 23rd, which is really enviable.
Ma Cheng was there, and Qin Shu was anxious, "That old horse, it's been like this for a long time, what is the result?" It's going to be fried outside, and the official really can't stand it. ”
Ma Wei covered the corpse with a white cloth, put down the guy in his hand, and took a booklet on the table in front of the corpse to Qin Shu.
"It's all here."
Qin Shu happily took it, "... There are traces of beating by the same person on the pillow, neck, two blades, back, waist, two buttocks, valley road, hind legs, and two curves, and although there are bone cracks, they are not fatal..."
"Old horse, you mean, he wasn't killed?"
The lean and lean Ma Yanzuo stroked his mustache and nodded: "It turned out to be like this, and there is such a small golden fan, tsk~ It's really rich, there is indeed a brocade silk left on Xue Dafu's clothes, and no blood stains have been found." ”
"Then what is the real cause of Xue Dafu's death?" Qin Shu closed the pamphlet of the autopsy, which explained a lot of the appearance of death, and he was not a person who was proficient in this way, so he could not understand this.
Ma Wei picked up a plate of orangutan things from the confession, at first Qin Shu didn't see what it was, but now he suddenly brought it to the front, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his throat, "Grope~"
Quickly took out a handkerchief, "What is this?" ”
"Heart!" Ma Wei deliberately raised it suddenly, causing Qin Shu to retreat again and again.
Ma Wei is a weird-tempered old guy, the family used to be a famous pig killer in the West City, and he was originally going to inherit the ancestral business, but the eldest son of the Ma family turned a corner and became a servant, and the family business was handed over to his younger brother and became a free man.
I have been doing it for more than 40 years, from a pony to an old horse, and he is quite famous in the entire criminal department litigation, and often has the criminal department to second, but the old horse will go to help for a few days at most, and he will never serve in the criminal department, saying that he doesn't like it and is uncomfortable.
The Criminal Department doesn't force it, but often asks for help.
The few powerful servants of the Criminal Department are all Lao Ma's apprentices.
Lao Ma did not get married in this life, and devoted all his mind to this corpse.
In addition, his temper is also weird, except for a little apprentice who is the most proud, no one likes to deal with him.
Not only for Qin Shu, but also for the previous Jingzhao Mansion Yin. Qin Shu is considered to be a good one, and he was occasionally joked.
Ma Wei uncovered the white cloth on the corpse, and the whole corpse was naked on the cold wooden board.
Xue Dafu is bloated, although he is a servant who manages the village, he is fat and fat.
After a day of corpses, blue and purple corpse spots appeared on it, as well as the unstoppable corpse stench that came to his face, even the meal Qin Shu had to vomit out the next day.
"My lord, this is Xue Dafu's heart, can my lord find anything wrong?"
Qin Shu covered his mouth and nose and desperately forced himself to look, "It seems to be a little fat." ”
Ma Wei nodded, "If ordinary people are fat, their hearts will be bigger, but this Xue Dafu is bigger, which means that he has a heart disease." ”
"Heart disease? There is no such record in the records. ”
"That's not the case yet."
