Chapter 62: The Widow Mother and Son

Zhou Lingshu and Jian Qing sat across a bonfire, pointed at Jian Qing with his finger in the air, and shook his head helplessly, "You, tell me what are you good about?" Walk there, and you will be able to find the traitor. ”

"The little one is the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian!" Jian Qing laughed.

It made everyone laugh.

Zhou Lingshu gave Li Pu the word "Huaijin", and Jian Qing told him the origin of the word "Huaijin", Li Pu jumped up happily and rushed towards Zheng Dong'er, "Dong'er, I am famous, I also have words, I will not be called a dog in the future." ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Li Pu went and returned and asked Jian Che, "Che'er, will you write my name and characters?" You teach me to write these words, and I'll buy you fried chestnuts with sugar to eat when I turn around, okay? ”

Jian Che couldn't write, Zhou Lingshu may have been infected by this atmosphere, he temporarily put away his two rank of Jinshi, took a thin trunk and wrote Li Pu's name and characters on the ground.

Li Pu didn't read, but he was very smart, and he learned it quickly, and asked him how his words came from, and after learning the words "Yang Zhishui, don't leave Pu", he learned the words "Huai Jin, serve the pot to drink ice, and use Pu to ambush Yan", Zhou Lingshu told them the allusions of these two sentences, and let the two of them recite them again, and then waved them away, "Don't be greedy, chew carefully, it's more important than learning a few more sentences." ”

The two went to review, and the sound of them reciting these two sentences could be heard in the carriage.

Zhou Lingshu asked Jian Qing, "Jian Qizuo should also be a person who reads poetry and books!" ”

Jian Qing smiled and shook his head, "I just know a few words." She still cares about the case, "This matter, if we don't know, it's fine, now that we already know, the stakes are very high, we must ignore it!" ”

This is the most headache for Zhou Lingshu, speaking of which, it is all to blame Jian Qing, if she hadn't asked him to inform him, he wouldn't have been involved in this matter at all.

However, Zhou Lingshu is a reasonable person after all, and he was nominated for this year's apricot list, he doesn't know much about the entire officialdom, and he still retains his original intention, and he wants to do something for the court and the people. The key is that Zhou Lingshu was shocked by his simplicity, a small work, clearly a lowly, but he is very stubborn, and has a consistent dedication to the case, how can this kind of professional spirit not impress Zhou Lingshu?

This is also a rookie in the workplace like Zhou Lingshu, if you try to change to an old man who has been in the officialdom for three or five years, you can talk to someone like Jian Qing around the fireplace, and ask him to investigate a case that may be related to the prince, or pull it down!

"Let's sort out this case first!" Zhou Lingshu raised his hand and asked Jian Qing to say first, Jian Qing always knows the most about the case.

"Now the preliminary inference is that the missing people are generally seduced by acquaintances with the temptation of making a fortune, five years ago, Boss Fang was taken away by his uncle who had been missing for three years, maybe something happened during this period, otherwise, with the characteristics of this organization, it is impossible for Fang Lao Er to come back alone, isn't it good to take one more person away? And Boss Fang's hatred for Fang Boss and Fang Er's hatred also illustrates this point. It's just that we don't know exactly why. ”

Jian Qing said it without giving in, Zhou Lingshu and Zhao Er both agreed, and she continued, "After Fang Lao Er came back, he first married Fang Lao's fiancΓ©e, gave birth to a son and returned to the big house, inherited Fang Lao's fireworks, and married a woman who had a marriage contract with himself, and gave birth to a son to count as his own head of the house. This shows that Fang Lao Er knows that Fang Lao Er will not come back. More than two months ago, Fang Lao Er was attacked and killed when he went to Lingqiu County, Fang Lao Er came to vent his anger and cover up, and after destroying Fang Lao Er's body, he pretended to be Fang Lao Er. ”

The next thing, everyone saw it, Boss Fang couldn't tolerate his brother's two wives, although one of them should be his own, one wife committed suicide, and the other wife was abused by him, and Jian Qing saw the clues, reminiscent of the destroyed corpse by the river two months ago, and found out that Boss Fang impersonated his brother.

Seeing that it was about to come to light, Boss Fang was shot and killed.

The murderer of Boss Fang was defeated in the process of fighting Zhao Er, and he was afraid of being captured alive, so he took poison and died.

At the same time, judging from Boss Fang's physical condition, Boss Fang may have worked in the mining area in the past five years.

However, this is only a concise reasoning based on the clues currently in possession. Specifically, it needs to be verified.

After Boss Fang returned to the village, Widow Fang's son disappeared.

Zhou Lingshu and Jian Qing got up together, and the two, led by the owner of the tea house, came to the house of the widow Fang located in the east of the village.

Mud wall thatched hut firewood door, a total of two, when entering the door to bow down to enter, is facing the door is a stove, north of a jar, palm-sized window, under the window is a small square table, black paint, on the table placed two coarse porcelain bowls.

The owner of the tea house stood at the door and shouted inside, a weak voice came, and after a while, the sound of the sound of the rope sounded inside, followed by the faint and weak footsteps, an old man with a rickety back walked out of the wall with his back, stood at the door, and looked at Jian Qing and the others by the light of the lantern in the hand of the owner of the tea house, "Who is it?" Am I coming back? ”

"It's me, I'm the third nobleman, we're here for Deng'er, these two are people from the yamen, so I'll ask Deng'er about the day he died."

The widow no longer looked at Jian Qing, so she looked ahead in a daze, as if recalling, "On the day I didn't have Deng'er, early in the morning, he said that there was not much firewood at home, and he turned around to press the snow, and if there was no firewood, he would be frozen, and he would go and get some firewood and come back." I said, 'Deng'er, you have to be careful, don't fight too much, you will be tired when you come back,' and he said, 'Yes, mother, you can rest at home, I will be back soon'......"

What happened that day, what the mother and son said, she probably didn't know how many times she thought about it in her heart, she was quite proficient in it, and even her son's tone was very similar, but Jian Qing and the others were really sad to listen to.

This woman, who first lost her husband, and now has no son, is equivalent to having no hope in her life.

Her hair was all white, her face was wrinkled, and her eyes were blank, which was older than the seventy or eighty-year-old women Jian Qing had ever seen. And her son was only sixteen years old, and the woman of the Ming Dynasty was married after the marriage, and this woman was not more than forty years old, but she had run out of oil and dried up like a candle in the wind.

Perhaps, when her son is not lost, she will also fantasize about getting rich one day, building a tiled house for her son, marrying a virtuous wife, and having a few fat grandchildren.

Jian Qing asked, "When Fang Deng'er went to chop wood, did he say who he would go with?" ”

"Deng'er always likes to be with the stakes when he goes to chop wood. Oh, he likes to be with the pile, I'm going to ask the pile, how did I forget? Widow Fang was busy going out and squeezed through Jian Qing and the others.

The boss of the tea house hurriedly grabbed her, "We all asked Zhu'er that day, and Zhu'er said that he and Deng'er were separated from each other to collect firewood, and made an appointment to meet under the big locust tree, but then Deng'er didn't come back, and he didn't find anyone to come back to report the news." ”
