Chapter XXVI Investigation
Su Xiaoya looked up at Landlord Wu and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, what is going on, the county magistrate will find out, why is Landlord Wu so anxious?" I remember that Aunt Li's family has nothing to do with you, right? ”
This Wu landlord is really a little strange, others are eager to stay away from this kind of thing, but this Wu landlord also volunteered to fight a lawsuit for Aunt Li, not afraid of trouble at all, after all, Wu landlord is notoriously stingy.
Aunt Li pointed at Su Xiaoya's nose and scolded: "You dead girl, what are you talking about?" Isn't it okay for a woman to sympathize with me? When is it your turn to dictate? ”
The Lin family, who was watching at the gate of the county government, couldn't wait to rush in directly and protect the two Su Xiaoya behind him, after all, Su Xiaoya was such a little girl's family, and she was humiliated in the court like this, and the Lin family was really distressed when she looked at it.
"The prefectural commander is aware of it." Su Xiaoya pointed to Erniu's corpse and said, "Since I have already experienced the fight, Erniu died of bleeding, but I am a girl, what strength can I have to push a man like Erniu to the edge of the cliff and push him down the cliff?" Even if Erniu was already in a coma at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it, right? ”
The county magistrate nodded, what Su Xiaoya said is indeed good, this Erniu is tall, Su Xiaoya is such a little big girl, there is really no ability to push Erniu down, even if she is dragged down, she is afraid she will not be able to drag it.
Seeing that the attitude of the county magistrate was a little soft, the landlord Wu immediately squinted his eyes and looked at the county magistrate with a smile: "The county magistrate ......" The words of the landlord Wu dragged on for a long time, and only he and the county magistrate knew that long before he came to the county office, he had already sent a lot of silver taels to the county magistrate's house.
The county magistrate suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he thought of the silver taels at home, and thought of the person sent by Beiye Xuan to greet him, so that he must take good care of this Su Xiaoya, if he really sentenced this Su Xiaoya, I am afraid that Beiye Xuan will immediately come to him for trouble.
The prefectural magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This...... What Su Xiaoya said is indeed right, how much strength can she have as a girl's family? This official feels that this case really has nothing to do with Su Xiaoya. ”
Su Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this county commander could distinguish between right and wrong, otherwise she would really have a hundred mouths and couldn't tell clearly.
Landlord Wu immediately changed his face and glared at the county magistrate viciously. He couldn't understand why the county magistrate suddenly changed his tune.
"Lord County Commander, the little girl still has one more thing she wants to know." Su Xiaoya saw that Landlord Wu was wrong, and immediately stood up and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with the little girl, why does Landlord Wu have to go against the little girl everywhere, and after knowing that the little girl is not a murderer, he is so disappointed?" ”
"I remember that the Wu landlord's family has nothing to do with Aunt Li's family, and I have never had a grudge with the Wu landlord, why is the Wu landlord so aggressive to punish me, is it because the Wu landlord is a thief?"
Everyone outside the county yamen was surprised, this matter was implicated with Su Xiaoya, which was a novelty for everyone, and now it was involved with the landlord of Wu, and everyone was interested.
When the landlord Wu saw Su Xiaoya talking about herself, she immediately shouted: "What are you talking about, this slut!" How could this matter have anything to do with me? ”
Su Xiaoya smiled: "Since it has nothing to do with Landlord Wu, how can it have anything to do with me?" How could the landlord of Wu be so sure that it must be me, and how could he be so desperate to cure my crimes? ”
This landlord Wu is too suspicious, Su Xiaoya instinctively feels that even if Erniu's death was not done by landlord Wu, it has nothing to do with landlord Wu.
The county magistrate patted the table and said in a deep voice: "Su Xiaoya, since you said that this matter has something to do with the landlord of Wu, I don't know if you have any evidence?" ”
Su Xiaoya shook her head, she just felt that the landlord Wu was suspicious, if it was evidence, she really couldn't find it.
The county magistrate slapped the table and said to the three people in the hall: "Since none of you have evidence to prove that it was the other party who killed you, then the official can't convict you, and this case can only end here." ”
Su Xiaoya couldn't, after all, she didn't have any evidence, no matter how much she felt that Landlord Wu was suspicious, she could only watch Landlord Wu leave.
"Su Xiaoya. Do you want to cure my sins? Don't dream! When the landlord Wu passed by Su Xiaoya's side, he suddenly said such a sentence viciously.
Su Xiaoya is even more sure that the murderer is the landlord of Wu.
"Aya. It's good that you're okay, don't continue to get involved in this matter, my mother is really afraid that something will happen to you! Lin took Su Xiaoya's hand and kept crying. His daughter was able to come out of the county government safe and sound, which was already great news for the Lin family.
Su Xiaoya sighed and said, "Mother, Erniu also had a little friendship with me in the past, how can I let the real murderer go free outside?" ”
Lin wanted to say something more, but Li Orion put his arm around Lin's shoulder and comforted: "Xiaoya is now grown up and has her own ideas, so let's not interfere with her too much." ”
Lin had no choice but to nod, and kept fat Su Xiaoya must pay attention to safety.
Su Xiaoya did not go home after leaving the county government, but went directly to her own farm, and kept observing around the farm.
Since the murderer will fight with Erniu, maybe he will be able to find something wrong here, but he just ignores it.
Su Xiaoya kept looking, and suddenly found a pearl on her clothes by the fence of the farm.
It seems that this pearl should not be available only in the village, and only large families like the landlord Wu will use this pearl to decorate their clothes. If it weren't for the Wu landlord, it would definitely have nothing to do with the Wu landlord.
Su Xiaoya thought about it, and immediately asked Li Orion to inquire about when the servants of the Wu landlord's family went out to run errands, and she squatted in front of the door of the Wu landlord's house for several days, knowing that Su Xiaoya saw the housekeeper of the Wu landlord's house coming out of the house.
"Uncle Li. This is the housekeeper of the Wu landlord's house? Su Xiaoya looked at this man dressed in gold and silver, and suddenly had a new understanding of the word housekeeper.
Li Orion nodded and said: "It is said that this housekeeper is very appreciated by the landlord of Wu, and he will do things for the landlord of Wu if he has nothing to do, and he should have made a lot of money in this way." ”
Su Xiaoya thought about it, borrowed a pen and paper from the shop next to her, and wrote a sentence for the children playing at the door to give to the housekeeper.
Li Orion didn't understand why Su Xiaoya did this: "If you suspect that it's this housekeeper, I'll just call him over?" Why bother so much? ”
"Uncle Li, you don't understand, this housekeeper must have done a lot of hurtful things for Landlord Wu, if Erniu's matter is really done by Landlord Wu, the housekeeper must be an accomplice. If we rush forward, we will definitely alarm the landlord Wu, and what if he comes to strike first? Su Xiaoya stared at the housekeeper's movements while carefully analyzing with Li Orion.
Li Orion was obviously not as thoughtful as Su Xiaoya thought, and immediately said: "Sure enough, Xiaoya thinks too far, but I am not as good as you." ”
Su Xiaoya pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that the housekeeper's face immediately changed after reading the note handed over by the child, Su Xiaoya immediately pulled Li Orion and walked in the direction of the housekeeper.
The housekeeper didn't know who had asked the child to hand him a note, but what was written on the note was startled by the housekeeper. He thinks that he has done a very good job in the matter of Erniu, how can he be discovered?
The housekeeper was about to run back to discuss countermeasures with Landlord Wu, but who knew that his back road was directly blocked, Li Orion and Su Xiaoya clamped the housekeeper left and right, and went directly into the nearest restaurant.
Li Orion has been hunting for a long time, and his skills are not comparable to those of a housekeeper.
"Neither of you, we don't know each other, so why bother?" The butler said with a smile.
Su Xiaoya took out the pearl in her arms and gently placed it on the table: "If I'm not mistaken, the housekeeper should have a piece of clothing, and the pearl on it is exactly the same as this pearl, right?" ”
"Didn't Landlord Wu swear that he had nothing to do with Erniu's case? Ah, I was wrong, the landlord of Wu really has nothing to do with it, and now it is his housekeeper who is suspected. Do you think Landlord Wu will save you? Su Xiaoya played with the pearl and said softly.
The housekeeper was so frightened that his face changed: "This girl, Miss Su, we have no grievances in the long future and no hatred in the near future, don't hurt me so much!" ”
Su Xiaoya's face immediately sank, and she threw the pearl on the table with a "snap": "I hurt you?" Did you and your master come to harm me, or did I deliberately wronged you? ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I'll take this thing to Lord Hei County to see, and then let Lord County Order check it carefully, where did you go that night, butler, I don't think anyone can commit perjury for you so quickly, right?" Su Xiaoya stared at the housekeeper directly, in fact, she was still a little unsure in her heart, after all, it was just a pearl, as long as the landlord Wu was strong enough, he would definitely be able to fish the housekeeper out of the county office.
The housekeeper cried and mourned, looking at Su Xiaoya, who was full of fierce faces, and Li Orion, who was tall and burly, so he had to tell the whole story: "I don't blame me for this matter, I just listened to the orders of our master to do things, it was our master who couldn't get used to seeing Miss Su's business booming, so I went to your farm to steal some rabbits!" ”
