Chapter 177: Do You Remember What They Look Like?
The carriage passed all the way, and it was only a quarter of an hour before she came to the county office, Lin Miao looked at the soulless girl opposite her, and said, "If you think that you have harmed your parents, you can cheer up, find out the bandits, and let them pay for their lives."
Chen Xin's eyes focused on Lin Miao, as if she had made a decision, nodded her head, and got off the carriage.
Lin Miao followed and got out of the carriage, at this time, a servant came to inquire, and there were also nearby people who came to see the excitement, when they knew that there were two dead bodies in the carriage, everyone turned pale and walked away in horror.
The official listened to Chen Xin's narration, and hurriedly went in to report their heads, and then their heads reported to the county commander Chen Hongwen.
Chen Hongwen was not in his aunt's room this time, but was discussing the drought with his master.
The imperial court issued an order for each prefecture to report the damage in writing.
Although Kawasamoto County was also affected, because the entire prefecture was surrounded by mountains and rivers, it did not reach the point where there was no harvest.
So Chen Hongwen was entangled.
It's a bit miserable, I'm afraid that people will say that his terrain is so good and it's so miserable, so he won't be able to manage it.
If the report is better, then the amount of money allocated for disaster relief will be relatively small, and his oil and water will be less.
When I was struggling to grab my hair, the headcatcher came in.
After saluting, he said: "My lord, there are vicious gangsters in the county, they conspired to kill Chen Zhuangzheng, the owner of the rice shop in Gaoqiao Town, and his wife.
"How many gangsters are there?" Chen Hongwen asked with a calm face.
The head catcher replied: "If you go back to your lordship, the two gangsters, they disguised themselves as retail investors with carriages to rent in Gaoqiao Town, and after pulling people to a no-man's land, they robbed and killed people."
"If you two of you, you take a few people to investigate, and you will inevitably arrest them."
The leader of the hunt took the order and retreated.
Outside the county office, looking at the crowd of onlookers from afar, Lin Miao suddenly thought of the portrait of the criminal, she could draw the two gangsters she saw to make it easier to find, and now is the time for strict investigation, it is more convenient to find.
"Brother Yashi, can you provide pen and paper? I've seen those two gangsters, and I can draw them. Lin Miao said.
The official looked at Lin Miao, and said after a while: "Wait a minute, I have to ask our master."
Chen Xin lowered her eyes, and looked up at Lin Miao when she heard the words, "Do you remember what they look like?" ”
"Although it was a quick glance, the characteristics of their facial features still left an impression, and when the time comes, you can take a look and point out what I can't remember."
Chen Xin nodded her head and was about to speak, when the coachman came back.
This was Chen Xin's request for Lin Miao to send out and send a message to a family surnamed Xu in Lotus Lane.
There were three prime men who came back with the coachman and carriage, and as soon as they saw Chen Xin, they asked eagerly: "Xin'er, what he said is true, your father, mother, they were really killed?"
"Eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle..."Chen Xin cried after calling someone.
At this moment, the carriage that followed the coachman's carriage also stopped, and several women came out of it.
The women are well-dressed, and at first glance they are people of the upper level of county life.
They hugged Chen Xin and kept comforting.
Xu Xiong'an, who was called his uncle, walked up to Lin Miao and asked, "What is the relationship between the girl and my niece?"
"It doesn't matter, I went to the county to visit relatives, and when I went back, I witnessed the gangster's murder, so I shouted to scare the gangster away, and then accompanied her to report the crime."
"Thank you, girl, if you need help in the future, come to our house to find us, and we will definitely repay you."
Xu Xiong'an said sincerely, the corners of Lin Miao's mouth twitched, she didn't want to stop it in order to repay.
"Which girl is the one who drew the picture?" The young servant just now went in and came out with an older one.
Lin Miao hurriedly spoke: "It's me, when I shouted, they turned around, and I saw their looks."
"Come in with me." Ya Gong said.
Seeing this, Chen Xin walked out of the embrace of several aunts and said, "I'll go in with you, I can see their appearance as long as I close my eyes."
Lin Miao quickly drew the image, and when she saw the picture, Chen Xin's eyes were full of tears, and behind the tears was churning hatred and fear.
Four portraits of the gangsters were drawn, and the officials took them out and posted them.
I thought it would take a long time to investigate, but I didn't expect that as soon as they left the county office, the news came that two gangsters had been killed.
It was Du Jun who killed them, and without interrogation, he came in through the city gate, compared the pictures, and he killed them.
Those who don't know must think that they are in the same party, and he is in a hurry to extinguish them.
Du Jun killed people in front of everyone, and Lin Miao waited at the county office for a while, wanting to see if he would be escorted back for interrogation.
The result, of course, was that she was thinking too much, and when she went out of the city gate, he was still standing on the tower as if nothing had happened.
When this incident reached Chen Xiuling's ears, her heart beat faster, she clearly remembered that it was a family of three who died, why did she become a husband and wife?
In the previous life, the incident broke out because the three brothers surnamed Xu in the county town made a fuss with the county government and asked them to send someone to arrest the gangsters, but because it was not clear who killed them, they finally ended up.
After half a month, there were two more such murders for money, and the county government attached great importance to it.
It turned out to be a pity that the gangster was not caught in the end, but he did not commit another crime.
"Miss, you've already written fifty copies, don't you take a break before writing?" Ye Qing rubbed his somewhat sour arm and asked.
Since the young lady had a fever a few days ago, she felt that her young lady had changed, and she used to either help the eldest lady housekeeper or was busy thinking about the second lady.
Well, now she doesn't do either of these things, and she's either walking with the old lady or writing notes all day.
It's normal to write a notebook, but the lady's words change too quickly, and all of a sudden change of handwriting is so scary.
Chen Xiuling put down her pen, rubbed her wrist, and asked, "Did grandmother do what the doctor said today?"
"The slave maid asked Mother He, and said that she had walked for a quarter of an hour at noon, and then she was unwilling to go."
Hearing this, Chen Xiuling stood up and put aside the notebook she had just written, and said, "Put this one together with the previous one, and wait for Dr. Lin to come and give it to her."
"Miss, are these all written for Dr. Lin?" Ye Qing was a little surprised, he had given two boxes before, how could he return them.
"She said that there are many children in the village, and it is rare to see such a kind person, so I will help her."
Ye Qing pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "If it were me, I would rather buy the silver of rice paper than the rice paper on which I write, I have a headache when I see writing."
Chen Xiuling shook her head with a smile and said, "If they can practice characters like me, going out to write family letters, writing couplets or copying books for others are all jobs that can support themselves."
