403 Witnesses (1st Watch)
On Han Shuo's left shoulder, there was a scar that stabbed in from behind.
In his lower back, it was on the right side.
"He caught up with me and stabbed me in the back, and when the knife was pulled out, I fell to the ground, and when I turned over, his knife stabbed me in the waist."
Song Ning asked, "Is he holding a knife in his left hand or in his right hand?" ”
"Left or right?" Han Shuo thought for a moment and replied, "Left hand, it must be left hand." ”
Song Ning got up and asked Han Shuo to stand in front of her and check his back injury.
"You're really fateful." Song Ning said, "The penetrating knife wound didn't hurt the spleen. ”
Han Shuo replied: "Yes, the doctor also said that I have a big life, so I didn't die." ”
"However," Han Shuo said and cried again, "but I have lived for three years and it is better to die than to die, I can dream of the eldest master and the second master every night." ”
As he spoke, he covered his face and cried.
Song Ning comforted him a few words, waited for a while, and saw that his emotions were calmer, and said, "How much property did the Tang family lose in total?" ”
"Isn't there a record in this file?" Han Shuo replied, "A total of about 800,000 taels were lost. ”
"In fact, there is not much silver, but there are a lot of valuable things missing at home, and a painting by our eldest master is worth a lot of money." Han Shuo said.
Song Ning bowed slightly: "What painting?" ”
"Just, just a village map, the handwriting of a famous artist in the previous dynasty." Han Shuo said, "You, you can ask Tang Yun, the eldest man in the next room, he will know it." ”
"Okay, got it."
"My lord, is it Matsuyama who shouted that he wanted to overturn the case?" Han Shuo said, "My lord, has this case been overturned?" ”
Song Ning said with a smile: "There is this possibility." ”
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That, what is the use of that adult, just give orders." ”
Song Ning bowed his head.
"Let's go back." Zhao Yi got up, and Song Ning and Han Shuo thanked him.
The two of them came to the yard, and they happened to see Han Shuo's two daughters-in-law, who came home with a wooden basin alone, and when they saw outsiders coming to the house, they were stunned, standing at the door and retreating.
"This is Lord Zhao Zhutou." Han Shuo said, "Don't salute yet." ”
The two daughters-in-law hurriedly put a wooden basin for Song Ning to salute.
"No need to be polite." Song Ning's gaze swept over the two daughters-in-law and asked, "Your son went to work?" ”
Han Shuo replied, "Yes, they all work outside." ”
Song Ning's gaze swept over the courtyard wall and said, "Does anyone in your family take medicine?" ”
"The villain takes medicine, which is not a physical loss, but he eats it every day."
"Then take care of it." Song Ning and Zhao Yi walked out of the courtyard, and there were villagers in the outer courtyard who had not chatted with Song Ning before.
Song Ning was surrounded by everyone and went out of the village.
"This year's seeds are a bit turbulent, and now that the rice is headed, is the growth not bad?" Song Ning asked everyone.
The crowd should be: "The seed of the loss was found early, and it is remedied." ”
"My lord, this year's harvest will not be checked, there have been several rains in a row, and even the dry land of my house has accumulated rain, and the rice seedlings have been tasseled, which is gratifying."
Song Ning smiled and said: "Your village is all wasteland, and it is your ability and hard work to have such growth." ”
"I see that the houses of every family in your village are also good, and life should be good, right? Do you go out to do things when you are not working? ”
Everyone replied to her words.
"Some go out and some don't, for example, my man goes out, but his uncle doesn't go out, and he can live in the fields all day."
"We too, now the outside work is not easy to do, we are idle, everyone is idle, the salary is low, and it is not interesting to do."
Song Ning bowed: "Did Han Shuo's family go out to do things?" I think his family's eight rooms are the best in your village, right? ”
"Not only in the outer villages, we are close to three villages, and his house is also the best."
Zhao Yi asked, "The house is still very new, is it just made?" ”
"I moved in the second half of the year before last. Didn't he be a steward in the city? The son and daughter-in-law were all working in the main family's village, and later the main family died, and their family bought a house in our village and got the foundation. ”
"At the beginning, he was also tight, and his health was not good, and it took a few months for him to recover from his injuries."
"Later, the father and son began to go out to work, and they built a house at the end of the year before last."
"Now that Han Shuo is not going out, it is estimated that the money is enough."
Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, looking very curious: "Eight rooms are built, do you want five hundred taels?" ”
"It is estimated that there are no five hundred taels in the eight rooms of his house, but there must be two or three hundred taels, and there are still furniture in it." There is humanity.
With so much money, the father and son saved it after working outside for a year and a half.
"Do they have any craft?" Song Ning asked.
"No, I haven't heard of it. Now the father and son don't often go out to do things, and the family has good food and clothing, and it is estimated that there is a lot of money. He added, "We all speculated that it might be that the master's side lost his money, after all, he was also injured, but he didn't mention it, and we didn't dare to ask in detail." ”
Song Ning and Zhao Yi looked at each other, and both of them raised their eyebrows, showing interest.
The two of them said goodbye to the villagers and went to the city.
"Do you think there's something wrong with his injuries?" Zhao Yi paused when he saw that Song Ning was looking at the scar just now, but he didn't say anything.
Song Ning nodded and said, "Although the scar has been collected, the scar on the shoulder is obviously from top to bottom." ”
Zhao Yi understood: "Songshan is about five feet seven inches tall, and Han Shuo is about the same height as him, when the two are chasing, the body position and psychology should not be stabbed in the shoulder, and secondly, even if it is pricked, it is not easy to cause an injury from top to bottom in the chase." ”
After all, he was holding a long goose feather knife, not a small dagger.
"What the prince said is very right, that's what he meant." Song Ning said, "Combined with the blood splattered on the wall of the banquet room yesterday, there is another layer of suspicion that Songshan is the murderer."
Zhao Yi asked, "What about Han Shuo?" ”
"Let's keep an eye on him for the time being, and see if he has any reactions and self-preservation actions after we startle the snake today." Song Ning said, "Go back to the yamen first." ”
If they can't find Yao Shan, the most important thing for them to do now is to investigate the Songshan case.
After the case is clear, Yao Shan can also find it.
The two returned to the Yamen, Wang Qingtong came back from prison, and Song Ning asked, "How are the people of Songshan?" ”
"I haven't woken up yet, I just took medicine and fell asleep." Wang Qingtong said, "It's so weak, I fed him a mouthful of rice soup in the morning, and he vomited it out." ”
Wang Qingtong sighed as he spoke.
The damage to the internal organs is too serious, and it really needs to be recuperated slowly, so there is no urgency.
"You have worked hard these days, you must pay attention to the food he imports and exports, and pay attention to his life and death." Song Ning admonished.
Wang Qingtong should be, and then went back to prison.
In the afternoon, no news came back from all sides.
Except that Jiang Ji didn't open the door, it seemed that Yao Shan had never appeared...... Uxian lay in bed for a day.
After everyone had dinner in the evening, Bai Shengxing rushed back.
As soon as he returned, everyone excitedly went to the flower hall for a meeting.
Bai Sheng slapped the knife on the table and explained to everyone: "This king has found a friend to confirm, this knife is the knife made by the king of the Kanto swords, and each of his knives has a name and surname." Ordinary people can't get money if they have it, he only gives the knights of the rivers and lakes, and the general of the court and the central government with a sword. ”
"Back then, the king almost begged him for a knife, but then he was injured and went home, so he didn't mention it again."
"I asked my friend to go to the Kanto Saber King to confirm the texture of this knife and who it was made for."
"Within ten days, there will be news back." Bai Sheng said, "Although it is a bit long, there is no way, after all, the distance is too far." ”
He added: "But what my friend meant, this knife is an old knife but has no blade, which shows that the person who uses this knife is a chivalrous man who doesn't want to get bloody." ”
"This is also in line with the chivalry of Matsuyama."
Wu Xian nodded and said, "I think it is, too." I suspect that the murder weapon found at the time of the verdict was left behind by the person who framed him. ”
"Proving that the knife belonged to Matsuyama doesn't prove that he didn't kill anyone." Song Yuanshi said, "If you want to overturn the case, these are not enough. ”
Everyone gathered in the flower hall to discuss the various clues, doubts and suspicions of the case.
Bai Jiaojiao took the maid to watch outside, and when she saw that her father and Shen Wenyu were there, she hurriedly cooked sweet soup and sent it in person.
She didn't stay long, and when she was sent in, she came out, standing at the door and watching so many people gather together to talk happily, and muttered: "Forsythia, do you think that the people in this room are very lucky?" ”
Forsythia nodded: "The slave also feels like this, so I feel ...... I think they're very different. ”
"Hmm. It's really good to be truth-seeking and knowledgeable, to be so responsible and serious about the case and everything. Bai Jiaojiao said, "My husband often praises me, saying that I am innocent, kind and beautiful, but in fact, she doesn't know how good she is." ”
Forsythia nodded: "The slave has never seen such a good man as my uncle." ”
Bai Jiaojiao glanced at Forsythia meaningfully, and if you knew that he was her, you would be even more surprised.
In the middle of the night, everyone was tired, so they went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, good news came.
Dengzhou helped her to check the letters of Songshan and Yao Shan.
"What is it, does it matter?" Wuxian asked, "Is it a brother-sister relationship?" ”
Song Ning will write to him.
After reading it, Wu Xian sat down at the table.
Yao Shan used another name called Qiu Yan to marry Matsuyama.
The two were married in the seventeenth year of Tianquan, and when Matsuyama had an accident, their son was already two years old.
Yao Shan is not in her early twenties, she is already twenty-five years old this year, one year younger than Songshan.
As for her being the cousin of Jiang Ji's owner, it was also publicized by Jiang Yuan, because Jiang Yuan took pity on her experience, and took in the sick and terminally ill Yao Shan two years ago, and asked her to come to Jinan Mansion this year to be Jiang Ji's shopkeeper.
Yao Shan's purpose is to wait for the opportunity to overturn the case for Songshan.
"How could it be, she actually got married, and she still has children." Wu Xian lay on the table, crying.
It's really crying.
I like someone for the first time in my life, but this is the result.
"What about their sons?" Zhao Yi took the letter and read it, frowned and said, "I didn't mention my son's whereabouts." ”
Wu Xian's crying also stopped, and he looked at Zhao Yi in horror: "No, won't it?" ”
The child died?
