"My brother-in-law's name is Wu Qikun, a native of Laiwu." Zhang Liangcai said.

Zhang Liangcai accompanied Song Ning and his party out of the yamen, and introduced the situation at home to Song Ning as he walked.

"My brother-in-law in front of me is named Yu Jincheng, who is a scholar, but his health has not been very good since he was a child, and he is weak in his mother's womb." Zhang Liangcai said.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, my sister and he actually met first, and then ...... Later, my brother-in-law asked a matchmaker to say goodbye, and this marriage was achieved. ”

When Zhang Liangcai said that his first brother-in-law, his eyebrows and eyes were stunned.

Song Ning asked him, "It seems that you miss him very much." ”

"Yes, he is kind-hearted, very simple, and very good to our whole family." Zhang Liangcai said.

"What was the cause of his death?" Song Ning asked.

"The doctor said that the spleen was weak, and he would vomit when he ate at the end, and sometimes he would vomit blood, and he didn't stay up for half a month." Zhang Liangcai sighed, with a look of regret.

Song Ning was thoughtful.

"Don't keep talking about Yu Jincheng, you say the dead." Uxian interrupted him.

"Oh, I said Wu Qikun. He was six years older than my sister, he had been married once, his wife had also died of illness, and he had left a pair of children to be raised by his father in his hometown. ”

He himself went to Jinan Mansion to do business. Oh, he's got a way to get the salt. ”

"He has a gentle personality and is good to my sister."

Song Ning asked, "Did he pick up a pair of children?" ”

Zhang Liangcai shook his head.

"When I got married, my son and daughter came to visit, I met them, and they were very well raised."

Shen Wenyu was a little strange when he heard this: "Since his popularity is so good, why do the people around him still call your sister Widow Zhang after marrying your sister?" ”

This is a bit of bullying Wu Qikun.

is obviously married, but the people around him don't take him seriously.

"I also asked, the people around him bullied him for being an outsider. Although the business is doing well, he is not a scholar in the end, and his family background is thin...... It's my sister again...... They all say that she is Kefu. It sounded like I was scolding my sister rather than sarcastic. ”

Shen Wenyu felt that it made sense and didn't ask again.

The group walked for a quarter of an hour or two before arriving at the place where the Wu couple lived after their marriage.

The location of the house, from Chaofeng Street to the east and west Shangge Old Lane, and then go down to the east, is Chun'an Street, from here into the Sihai Hutong, Zhang lives here.

"It's a big house." Lu Miaomiao stood at the door and looked, "Lord Song, this place is as big as Hu's Mansion." ”

Lu Miaomiao has always been in his mind, but they were envious when they went to Hufu.

The county lord's mansion where he lives now is also very large, but it is not theirs.

He wanted to have one, as big as Hu's mansion, that belonged to Song Ning or belonged to his big courtyard.

"In the future, we will have the same courtyard as the Qi Palace!"

Song Ning comforted him.

Lu Miaomiao nodded vigorously.

Zhang Liangcai opened the door directly, and said as he walked: "There was originally Su's mother at home, but she was the first person to find out, and she fell ill with fright that day, and now she is taken home by her son to recuperate." ”

"If Master Song has anything to ask her, the student can take you there."

"Okay." Song Ning asked, "Whose yard is this yard, and whose name is the deed?" ”

Zhang Liangcai replied: "It's my brother-in-law's yard, he bought it when he got married, and the house deed and title deed are in my sister's hands." ”

"Your sister remarried, did Yu Jincheng's parents and family agree?" Song Ning looked at the outer courtyard, and according to the area and furnishings, it was actually completely inferior to Hu Mansion, but in Lu Miaomiao's eyes, these heroic and spacious courtyards all looked the same.

"My sister's original in-laws originally gave birth to a son and a daughter, and after the daughter married away, there was only a son by her side, and then the son went, and the mother-in-law didn't stay up for half a year and followed."

"It's not good for my father-in-law to live with his daughter-in-law, so he does business and doesn't go home all year round. In the middle of the previous year, on the way back from selling goods, he was planted on the road, and the doctor said that he had suffered from heat stroke, and he went there the night after carrying him home. ”

"Or we'll help take care of the aftermath."

"There is no one in the Yu family and my mother-in-law's maiden family?" This sentence was asked by Shen Wenyu.

Zhang Liangcai and Shen Wenyu explained: "Yes, they also came, but it was us who was in charge, and his daughter and son-in-law came back." After the funeral, my sister divided fifty percent of the remaining family property of the Zhang family's in-laws to the eldest sister, and she kept the rest for herself. ”

"Your sister is such a good person." Wuxian sighed.

Zhang Liangcai nodded.

"How much did you share?" Song Ning asked.

Zhang Liangcai was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and thought about it: "It seems to have a ...... There are a few Zhuangzi, two shops, and seven or eight thousand silver. ”

Everyone: "......"

"I thought I was poor, but I didn't expect to be rich."

Zhang Liangcai said: "The Yu family is not very rich, and my sister's dowry is also a lot. When she got married, my father gave her a pressure box of 5,000 taels and a Zhuangzi. ”

Wuxian forked his hand: "When I didn't ask, this is not the joy of a poor family, but a marriage of rich people." ”

Song Ning smiled and knocked on Wu Xian's head: "He hasn't been in advance, where did you get the information that his family is very poor?" ”

Wu Xian also felt strange, couldn't help but look at Zhang Liangcai, and said suddenly: "I know, it's because he is wearing too shabby." ”

"I—I'm ...... This is the clothes of the academy. Zhang Liangcai said.

Wuxian was speechless.

The group passed the Ruyi Gate in the outer courtyard, and Song Ning looked at the pattern of the entire courtyard.

It is about three improved yards, because there are not many people, so the small yard is not much, the soil in the yard is turned and pressed, and a very beautiful flower shed has been built.

"This is the main courtyard, and behind it is the courtyard. Su's mother lives in Baoxia. Usually when my brother-in-law goes out to do business, there are only my sister and Su's mother at home. ”

"The work in the yard is done by my sister and Su's mother."

He stopped in front of the courtyard in the middle and introduced to everyone: "My sister has fertilized, saying that when the flowers and seeds are planted in the spring, the yard will definitely be beautiful when the weather is warm." ”

"Why didn't you have children?" Song Ning asked.

"No, I—I don't know, I don't want to ask this." Zhang Liangcai said with a red face.

"What do you say about the case, where were the bodies found, where are the dismemberment and murder scenes?"

Zhang Liangcai said: "Here." He pointed to the unfilled pit in the garden, "where the torso and limbs were buried, as well as the murder weapon." ”

The pit is not deep, but it is enough to bury one person.

"What about the scene of the murder and dismemberment?" Song Ning asked.

"In the west wing of the main courtyard." Zhang Liangcai pointed to the room on the west side of the main courtyard, "I'll take you there." ”

Zhang Liangcai stopped at the door of the room with a seal.

Shen Wenyu stepped forward and lifted the seal, and as soon as the door was pushed open, a bloody and rancid smell came to his face, and Wuxian retched and shouted: "My God, this ...... It's too smoky. ”

"You walk around the yard and look around." Song Ning said to him.

Wu Xian should have covered his nose and fled for his life, hiding in the garden.

Song Ning and Shen Wenyu glanced at each other, and the two stepped into the door together.

"This room is still empty, nothing is placed." Zhang Liangcai explained.

"What kind of room is the plan?" There was nothing in the room, and on the polished stone floor, a large pool of dried blood that almost took up half of the room was too conspicuous and even shocking.

"Originally, I planned to make a room for the child when I had a child." Zhang Liangcai said.

Song Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Liangcai, and asked again: "The room planned for the child?" ”

Zhang Liangcai also hesitated at the door before daring to come in: "Yes." But because there are no children, there is no time to settle here. ”

They had only been married for a few months.

The flowers were planted, but they did not bloom but they bore a blood debt.

"Lord Song, this ...... There is so much blood, and people are not drained. Lu Miaomiao squatted on the ground and studied.

Qiao Sidao: "Haven't you heard, it's a dismemberment." All limbs were cut off. ”

"I know......," Lu Miaomiao sighed and said, "I know why I cut my limbs." ”

Everyone looked at him.

"It's easy to walk on your back, it's very light without legs." Lu Miaomiao patted her thick thighs, "If I don't have legs, it will be very light." ”

The crowd was speechless.

"Even if you want to use an analogy, you don't have to say it so realistically." Qiao Si pulled Lu Miaomiao, "Don't talk, let Lord Song and Shen Zhutou watch." ”

Shen Wenyu didn't move, and Song Ning shrugged: "Actually, there's nothing to see, the room is empty." ”

She crouched down and lay on the ground looking against the light.

Everyone stepped aside and looked at her.

"There were splatters of blood, chop marks on the stones, and minced meat." Song Ning twisted the meat foam and sniffed it, changed the direction again, carefully checked all around the blood beach, and said to Shen Wenyu, "It is the scene of the first dismemberment." ”

Shen Wenyu frowned: "Dismemberment, not a murder scene?" ”

"I can't be sure." She wiped her hands and looked at Zhang Liangcai, "How tall is the deceased." ”

Zhang Liangcai pointed at Song Ning: "It's almost the same as you." ”

Song Ning gestured on the wall: "My neck is here...... If a knife is slashed, whether from the bottom up or from the top down, the beginning of the bloodstain should be such a height. ”

Everyone gathered around and looked at the walls of the small room.

Apparently not.

"Could it be that it was cut after it fell?" Shen Wenyu asked.

"It's up to the corpse." Song Ning asked Zhang Liangcai, "What day is it?" ”

Zhang Liangcai replied: "On the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month, today is twenty-four and sixteen days. The burial was put into the ground on the eleventh day of the first month. ”

"It's a test of my skills." Song Ning rubbed his hands and walked out.

Actually, it's okay, after all, it's winter, and the temperature is so low.

Zhang Liangcai nervously followed, and asked, "My lord, ...... you Don't you have a choice? ”

"No, my skills are good."

Shen Wenyu: "......"

Zhang Liangcai suddenly laughed: "That adult, my sister is not a murderer, is she?" ”

"I believed it a few days ago, please come, my sister's grievances will definitely be cleared."

Song Ning looked at Wu Xian, who was rushing towards them, and said, "It's hard to say, I'll have to take a look at the autopsy after I finish the scene." ”

"Are you going to go to Longxingda to get it?"

The autopsy must have been archived, Zheng Hongshen also has it, and another copy should be handed over to the Shangfeng Punishment Yamen.
