Chapter 103: The Story of Cannibalism
Wow, some people said that they heard that this woman was cooking broth in the middle of the night to eat, and some people saw her burying her body in the middle of the night," Lao Zhou said without stubble, still looking drunk.
The five people sitting in front of him had long since lost their previous indifference, and became engrossed and fascinated.
"And then? And then what? Red Bean asked anxiously.
Lao Zhoutou burped: "I reported to the official before dawn, saying that this woman killed people and killed more than a dozen big men overnight." ”
"At that time, Fu Yin was Lord Du, and he was also a famous person in the entire Jiangnan Province, so even if he said that he would investigate this matter." Old Zhou said, "The woman was soon taken to the government office, and she only chuckled at these accusations, oh, by the way, one of the witnesses was the maid in her room, and I saw her cooking broth in the middle of the night to eat!" ”
Lao Zhoutou's words are a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, but this matter may as well be more exciting than the story told by the storyteller in the restaurant.
"The woman said that the dozen or so men left overnight, by the way, no one has ever seen those dozen men again!" Lao Zhou burped and said, "Then Master Du went to investigate, searched the inside and outside of Fang's house, and found no trace, and went to the place where the body was seen and buried, and I almost dug the ground into a river and didn't see anyone." ”
"What happened?" Qiao Ran poured him another bowl of wine.
Old Zhou Touwei laughed twice: "Master Du told us to be careful of this woman, but she refused to withdraw the case." dragged on, dragged on for a full three months, and had to close the case with false accusations! ”
"So this Mrs. Fang was let go like this?" Qiao Ran continued to ask.
Old Zhou nodded: "Yes!" Hearing that her husband, that is, the old man of the Fang family, was angry and wanted to divorce his wife and scolded her for causing trouble, the woman went back without saying a word, and was sent to Beizhuang to recuperate. ”
"After half a month of recuperation, a complaint was sent from the capital, saying that Mrs. Fang sued the official, at that time, I thought that Mrs. Fang was crazy, and in the end, it was Master Du who was implicated and degraded, and Mrs. Fang had nothing to do." Old Zhou burped and squeezed out two tears, "I still remember the appearance of Master Du when he left, how powerful a person he was when he came, this time he went to Yuhang, it was only a day or two away, but he was ten years old all of a sudden, and he had gray ......hair in his temples."
Bowls of wine poured down one bowl after another, and Lao Zhoutou howled twice from time to time, and after a while, he lay on the table, snoring like thunder.
Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief, as if he hadn't come back to his senses until this time: "It turns out that it's not cannibalism, it's a false accusation!" And the slave and the maid said, How can there be a cannibal? ”
As he spoke, he patted his chest, and it seemed that he was really scared by cannibalism.
Qiao Shu glanced at her, and suddenly said: ""Guanzi" records: 'Fu Yiya seasoned the father, and the public said: 'But the taste of the baby has not been tasted', so he steamed his head and offered it. ’”
After saying this, Qiao Shu was silent for a moment in the blank expressions of Shang Hongdou, Tang Zhongyuan and Ah Sheng, and then said: "The book says that some people eat people, and there is a monarch who says that he tastes the delicious food of the world, but he doesn't know the taste of human flesh. ”
"Good reading." Qiao Ran glanced at Qiao Shu, nodded, smiled at the other three shocked expressions, and said, "The question at the moment is not whether she eats people, but whether this lady has harmed people." ”
Yes! Everyone was stunned.
"So is this lady harmful?" Hongdou asked with great interest, obviously taking Lao Zhoutou's words as a story.
"I don't know." Qiao Ran shook her head as she spoke, paused, and said, "But I think that Master Du should be suspicious of this Mrs. Fang." ”
It's just that there is no evidence, and he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless that he directly ruined his future. I don't know if Lord Nadu regretted his persistence in the following years.
"I don't know if it's true or not." Tang Zhongyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's just that if this incident is not a story, what Mrs. Fang always sounds a little scared!" It's best for this kind of person not to be against ...... for the rest of his life."
"Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao." An official shouted outside the door with an umbrella, "There's news, Lord Zhen is invited!" ”
"Okay," Qiao Ran stood up and walked out with Ah Sheng, Hongdou and Qiao Shu, but when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and looked at Tang Zhongyuan, who was tidying up the mess on the table inside, "What if it's already right?" ”
Already...... Right? Tang Zhongyuan was a little puzzled for a while, but after a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, and then his face changed greatly: "Could it be ......?"
The latter words seemed to be swallowed in his throat, Tang Zhongyuan was silent for a moment, looked down at the drunk and unconscious old Zhou, and muttered: "You fucking talk half-truths on weekdays, and it's good to be able to have a point or two when you're drunk, this time it's ...... It's true......"
……
……
The front foot stepped into the hall, and Zhen Shiyuan raised his foot and walked over: "Miss Qiao, do you guess whose word is it?" ”
It's really straight to the point.
Originally, I thought it was Feng Qizuo who had news, but I didn't expect to find out the word first, Qiao Ran was stunned: "Could it be that word...... Famous? ”
Zhen Shiyuan laughed, unfolded a painting in his hand, and pointed to the words on the painting: "Look at the words on this and the words on it, but they are the same hand?" ”
This is a picture of a naughty child's play, Qiao Ran fell on the seal below: "This is Mr. Yu Mufeng's painting?" ”
"Not bad." Zhen Shiyuan said and handed over the painting in his hand to the official: "I have already sent someone to ask, the gold and silver in Yu Mufeng's residence have disappeared, Xu has escaped......"
"Lord Zhen," Qiao Ran interrupted him, "Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" ”
It's also too smooth, the murderer who killed Feng Yuan in front of him calculated so exquisitely, and he died for a long time, but he was full of loopholes, as if he was directly presented to everyone
Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her: "When the rain stops, the official will send someone to post Yu Mufeng's portrait, and the entire Jiangnan Mansion is wanted," After a pause, he added, "Huang Zijiu died in front of people, and this matter cannot be delayed." ”
"But if the murderer commits it again......"
"That's why it's all the more so." Zhen Shiyuan looked at her, but there was no displeasure on her questioning face, "Let the murderer think that the official is eager to be greedy, relax his vigilance, and I will continue to investigate secretly." ”
This...... Not as an option. Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say again: "Lord Zhen's method is really good, but if the murderer is revenge, I'm afraid he may not stop." ”
"I know." Zhen Shiyuan nodded, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "At the moment, I have to give an explanation to those literati before the matter is serious, just tell you this, I'm afraid you don't understand......"
Zhen Shiyuan has a headache, how can a girl understand this?
"Anyway, calm the people first, and then we arrest them." Zhen Shiyuan said with a straight face, "If you are worried that the murderer may not stop, then find out the murderer as soon as possible." ”
Saying this, Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, and said, "Lord Zhen, the little girl is just an ordinary Jinling person. "I can't stand his high esteem.
"Okay, okay, you helped the official, the official won't let you help in vain," Zhen Shiyuan gave her a look, then coughed and said, "Let's go, let's go see Feng Qizuo, calculate the time, the autopsy results should come out." ”
