"This was cut in the morning, right?" Su Liu asked his daughter-in-law, Su Wang.

Su Wang nodded: "I got it when I killed the fish." ”

Song Ning shook his head and didn't see any other problems.

"Yang Changgen, call a few militiamen to help." Song Ning said to the Su family, "The deceased's body will be brought back by the official, and after checking that there is no problem, you will go to the yamen at noon tomorrow to collect it." ”

Su Jinliang asked, "Do you want to take it back to the Yamen for autopsy?" ”

"Well, go through a procedure, and get it back when you're done."

"Will you, will you have a stomach?"

Song Ning looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you worried about opening your stomach?" ”

"No, no, adults will make a fuss and open their stomachs...... Adults will open their stomachs, I, I'll ask. ”

Song Ning said: "In a situation like your daughter-in-law, if you want to disembowel, the official will consult your opinion, and after getting the consent of the family, the official will do it." ”

It's not a criminal case, and she won't look for more things.

No one will enjoy such a process.

Su Jinliang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, it's better to leave her a whole corpse, otherwise the in-laws will really ......."

"Where is she from?"

Su Jinliang replied: "She is from Wuding Haifeng. ”

SITC is a bit of a walk from Jinan.

Yang Chang even invited four militiamen to carry Su Mao's body back to the yamen.

"Jin Niang!" Su Yan chased after him on a stretcher, and everyone looked at it with sour hearts.

Song Ning said to Su Jinliang: "Go to your house." ”

Su Jinliang led, and Song Ning went to Su Jinliang's house.

Although it is in the middle of the alley, the courtyard of the Su family is not small, it is not a formal two-entry yard, but it is indeed divided into front and back yards, and the front is from left to right with the kitchen and firewood room built on the east side, a total of six rooms.

The courtyard at the back is also horizontally arranged, with a total of seven rooms.

"Our old couple lives in front with Wenjun." Su Jinliang introduced Song Ning, "Wenjun is the second child, three years old this year. ”

As he spoke, the child in the room cried, and Su Wangshi went to the east wing to pick up a white and chubby child, as if he had just woken up from sleep, crying.

"I'm definitely hungry, get me something to eat." Su Jinliang commanded.

Su Liu's and Su Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coaxed the children to go to the kitchen to get food.

I can hear Su Wangshi say: "I'll heat up the rice soup cooked in the morning." ”

"You put the fire on the fire and fry the eggs."

Su Wang's should be.

Su Jinliang said: "There are seven rooms in the back, two of them and three of them, do you want to go to Su Yan's room to have a look?" ”

"Okay." Song Ning bypassed the front yard and saw Zhao Yi standing in the yard, saw her coming, and nodded.

"The middle hall is the main house, the east three are the eldest one, and the west three are the second one's family."

"The first room on the boss's side is the study, the second is Wenyu's room, and the third is their bedroom."

Without waiting for Song Ning to ask, Su Jinliang introduced: "Wenyu is the daughter of the old family, four years old. ”

Saying that, he shouted, "Wenyu? ”

"Grandfather." There was a child in the middle room who began to cry and banged on the door, Su Jinliang went over, opened the lock hanging outside the door, and took out a little girl.

The little girl wore a goose-yellow dress in a single bun, and her eyes and nose were red from crying.

"Mother, mother, I want mother!"

Su Jinliang patted and coaxed gently.

Su Yang came out of his bedroom in the west and hugged his fist at Song Ning.

Song Ning bowed his head to Zhao Yi's side and asked, "Did you find arsenic?" ”

"Found it." Zhao Yi said, "You come with me." ”

The two pushed open the door of Su Yan and Su Mao's husband and wife, the room was not tidy, there were clothes on the screen, the quilt on the kang was not folded, and there was a set of tea sets on the kang table, one tea set and three tea cups.

On the low cabinet of the kang head, there is a door that is open, and from the open door all the way to the kang table, there is some white powder scattered.

Song Ning twisted some and sniffed, but there was no smell.

"Don't have a medicine bag?"

Zhao Yi said: "Here." ”

He lifted the teapot and saw a small open paper bag, the paper bag had white powder in it, because it was pressed by the teapot, the powder was flattened and sticky a lot, and then the bottom of the teapot.

"It's a bit weird." Song Ning said.

"There's a strange place too." Zhao Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, grabbed Song Ning's hand again, and wiped the fingertips of the powder she had just twisted.

Song Ning was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Yi had already walked to the edge of the wardrobe: "Look at the woman's dress." ”

"Huh?" Song Ning looked at the skirt, "Is it good?" ”

Zhao Yi bowed: "The lady at home has to cook and wash, and the brocade gauze is not suitable." ”

But Su Mao's wardrobe has a half-cabinet of brocade dresses.

And the clothes are still very beautiful, at least in Song Ning's opinion, the color matching of the thread and the material and the matching of the skirt are extremely comfortable.

"I'll look at the jewelry." Song Ning opened the makeup box and was immediately amazed, "These jewelry are very beautiful." ”

Zhao Yi picked up a hairpin inlaid with sapphires and looked at it, and said, "The workmanship is really good, pure gold." ”

"Is his family's financial situation so good?" Song Ning recalled that Su Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wore coarse cloth skirts and did not wear jewelry.

In fact, the dead Su Mao also wore a coarse cloth skirt and no hairpin gold ornaments on his head.

"It's good taste." After Song Ning finished speaking, he turned back to look at the whole room, from the bedding to the embroidery on the tent and the curtains......

The overall color of this room is a natural sky blue, which is very comfortable.

She raised her eyebrows, driven by curiosity and went to Su Wenyu's room next door.

When the door opened, I smelled the faint fragrance of the room.

Looking again, there was a vase fixed on the wall, and a few wildflowers that Song Ning didn't know were inserted in the bottle.

Su Wenyu's room is elegant and childlike.

"She is a woman with an independent understanding and taste for beauty." Song Ning and Zhao Yi said.

Some people are born with the understanding of beauty, while most people need to be nurtured and nurtured by the environment.

Zhao Yi bowed: "That's true." ”

"Let everyone in your family come over and tell me the details of the morning." Song Ning talked to Su Yang, who was waiting in the courtyard.

Su Yang should go to the front.

Su Jinliang coaxed his little granddaughter in the hall, and when he saw Song Ning and Zhao Yi coming in, he said helplessly: "Have you found the medicine?" Just now, the villain was thinking that if she bought arsenic, the pharmacy must have a record. ”

"Well, I'll look it up. The medicine bag was also found. ”

Su Jinliang breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Su Liu and his two children in the front yard, everyone sat down in the hall in the middle.

Su Yan's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he was brought back by Fu Yu at the yamen.

At this moment, he sat on the threshold in despair, his hair was scattered, and his eyes were looking straight at one place in a daze.

"Who can tell you the whole story?" Song Ning motioned to who would speak.

"Big brother can say it clearly, but he definitely can't look at him now, so let me tell you, I was washing clothes in the yard at the time, and I know it." Su Wang and Song Ningdao.

Song Ning bowed his head.

Su Wang straightened the hem of his clothes, sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said: "My family's family affairs, my sister-in-law and I are separated, and the things in our respective rooms are not separated, but my mother-in-law and father-in-law and the family's cooking, the two of us do it separately." ”

"Three meals a day and laundry cleaning, two people take turns doing this. For example, if she cooks today, then I will do the laundry and sweep, and tomorrow I cook and she will do the laundry and sweep. "Su Wang explained to everyone.

Song Ning bowed: "This method is very good. ”

"Yes, so our relationship between our concubines is like sisters. Today is the sister-in-law cooking, early in the morning she gets up to cook rice soup for the child and the family's breakfast, and when she is ready, she prepares lunch, and I scrub the clothes in the yard. ”

"The eldest brother got up and went to the kitchen, as if to say that the porridge in the morning was too thin, and the sister-in-law said that you like to eat or not, if you are not happy, you will cook it tomorrow."

"The eldest brother got angry and said that you are a woman, you should cook, otherwise you will go out to earn money to support the family?"

"My sister-in-law happened to be killing fish, and when she heard it, she threw the fish on the ground, saying that she couldn't live her life, so she ran to the room, and I didn't want to interject and continued to wash clothes, and everyone sulked at the kitchen door."

"That's it...... But at the time of two sips of tea, the sister-in-law came out with a cup, shouting that she was going to the street to find someone to judge, and said that she was dead, so she rushed to the street. ”

"I didn't understand what she meant, so I wiped my hands and went out to have a look, who knew that my sister-in-law was standing on the street, so she drank the medicine."

"Everyone knows the rest, she first complained of stomach pain, threw up, rolled on the ground, and we called the doctor to show her, only to know that she didn't scare us, she drank arsenic."

As he spoke, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief and sighed: "I—I regret that I didn't decisively go up and hug her." ”

Song Ning frowned and asked, "What did you just say she said before she went out?" ”

Su Wang stopped crying and looked at Song Ning.

"She took the cup and ran from the backyard to the front yard, and when she passed the yard, what did she shout?" Song Ning asked repeatedly.

"I'll teach you." Su Wang's learned from Su Mao's words, "I can't live this day, I'm going to go to everyone to judge me!" ”

"Are you looking for a judge?" Song Ning asked.

Su Wangshi seemed to be surprised that Song Ning's focus was actually on this sentence, and he thought about it: "It seems, it seems that there is not, because I went out with it, and I saw her standing at the entrance of the alley drinking medicine." ”

"Hmm." Song Ning nodded, motioned to Yan Feng to write down these words, and then instructed Fu Yu, "You go to the door to find someone to ask, did anyone see Su Mao's going out with a teacup, and when she drank the medicine, ask clearly, what she said and what actions she did." ”

The young girl said that when she witnessed the process, she mentioned that there were other people around at that time.

The rain should be gone.

Qiu came up very nervously: "My lord, I, what am I going to do?" ”

"Go to the neighbors and talk about how the deceased behaved."

"Yes!" Autumn has gone.

Song Ning looked at the Su family, then at Su Yan, and asked, "Can you speak now?" ”

Su Yan wiped his face, looked at Song Ning and nodded: "My lord, I can, you, you ask." ”

"Looking for death today, did you quarrel last night?"
