Chapter 74: Another Storm
Zhao Er was taken aback, "Jian Yanzuo, I didn't sign the deed of sale." In the prince's mansion, except for the people sent by the court to serve him, there was no one in his front who was bought by the palace itself. ”
Jian Qing was also taken aback, "Is there such a thing?" So what are you crying about? If you follow me, I can't send you monthly silver, you love to follow, if you don't like to follow, don't follow, wouldn't it be better? ”
Zhao Er shook his head, "The prince asked me to follow you, I can only follow you, if you don't want me one day, you go and tell the prince, let the prince take me back." ”
Jian Qing doesn't understand what kind of complex this is, and there are still people who haven't signed the deed of sale, and they are in a hurry to be human slaves.
On the fifth watch, before the light appeared, a scream sounded in the backyard. Jian Qing jumped up from the bed, put on her sheepskin jacket and rushed down, Zhao Er was one step ahead of her, and when Jian Qing stepped on the air and almost rolled down the stairs, Zhao Er helped her.
In the backyard, there were already a lot of people around, a shopkeeper with a broom grabbed the shopkeeper who rushed over, pointed his finger at the big jujube tree in the northwest corner, and by the faint light in the shopkeeper's hand, Jian Qing followed the direction indicated by the shopkeeper, Jian Qing saw a person hanging on the branch of the jujube tree, with a miserable white face, angry eyes, but he lost his divine light, the blue feather azure robe, and the vertical collar of the jade underwear were particularly abrupt because the neck was pulled by the rope.
A cyan and green-rimmed belt, a dark cyan robe, and a pair of foundation soap boots on the edges of his feet, as well as large particles of red clay unique to Shimonoseki.
She was so shocked that she stepped forward, stepped on the dates under her feet, slipped and almost fell, but fortunately Zhao Eryi grabbed her.
Zhao Er couldn't believe his eyes, he saw clearly, he was not mistaken, the person who was hanging on the tree was Ye Xiping.
"Heaven, earth, you still don't let good people live!" An old man stumbled out, holding a note in his hand, crying and grabbing the ground, "It was King Yan who forced my master to kill!" ”
Originally, this was really a universal celebration for Jian Qing, who called King Yan so annoying?
However, due to the sense of justice in his heart, Jian Qing took a step forward and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! There is no investigation, no evidence, no case analysis, no trial, and no casual nonsense, otherwise it will be slander and framed! ”
The old man glanced at Jian Qing and shouted, "Wronged, last night King Yan personally came to ask for the villain's master's life, and the villain didn't read or hear it wrong." King Yan can't rely on his high position and power to ignore people's lives, the villain is not afraid of his life, the villain just wants to go to the emperor to complain and ask the emperor for an explanation! ”
This is indeed a law-blind society!
Jian Qing was simply dumbfounded, but I have to say that this old man's performance of singing and writing is very infectious, if it weren't for the fact that Jian Qing saw Zhao Di with her own eyes last night, even she would have to believe that it was indeed Zhao Di who killed Ye Xiping.
It's just that she has already reminded Zhao Di so much, why is Ye Xiping still dead?
In this era of imperial examinations, when there is an examination every three years, and the number of people admitted to each examination is a little more than two or three hundred, ten years of cold windows, two lists of jinshi, it is simply a rarer animal comparable to the giant panda, and it actually died like this?
There was no one to seal the scene of the crime, Jian Qing went over, and circled around the big jujube tree hanging Ye Xiping, on the back of the jujube tree, Jian Qing saw a not very clear footprint on the cracked bark, she stretched out her hand to measure it, and pulled off the dirt of the large piece of bark in her palm.
Soon, the people from the yamen came.
The servant of the Fuping County Ya is a man in his forties, dressed in the same way as simple and clear, all of them are shabby, and he is also a torn sheepskin jacket, with a rope tied around the waist, and a pair of single pants to keep out the cold.
The corpse was laid down, a straw mat was spread on the ground, and a few iron candlesticks were found in the inn, and candles were lit to illuminate the northwest corner of the courtyard.
Jian Qingqing took a step back, and her peers began to perform autopsies. She still saw the ancient work in film and television dramas in her previous life, and what she saw with her own eyes today can be regarded as a long insight.
"Front: The head has a bun, the hair is about one foot two inches long, and the top is ...... The eyes are closed, the nose is not abnormal, the mouth is open, the teeth are slightly bitten and the tongue is two to three points between the teeth, there is saliva at the corners of the mouth, the thumbs are held in both hands, the toes of the feet hang down, and there is blood on the legs......"
While performing the autopsy, he sang loudly, and there was a small official next to him who was recording, and when Jian Qing leaned over to look, he dodged, avoided speaking, and glared at Jian Qing fiercely.
The name of the Fuping County Commander is Gao Wei, about forty years old, he looks very young, he has a goatee of an inch, and when he listens to the chanting, he keeps stroking it with his hands, and it looks like he should be very cherished.
The autopsy lasted about an hour, and it was not until dawn that the candles could be removed.
Gao Wei called Ye Xiping's housekeeper to ask, "What's your name?" ”
"Back to the Qingtian master, the younger one's name is Ye Quan, and I have been with my master for twelve years." Ye Quan knelt on the ground, wiping his tears while replying.
"Tell me, how did your master die?"
Fuping County is not big, there are people in the inn, the death is still a two-rank jinshi, the court seven life officials, the news is like the plague, soon spread all over the village, at this time, the walls of the backyard of the inn are crawling people, probe to see the lively.
The shopkeeper of the inn, the shopkeeper, and the second class of the shopkeeper, don't care about whether the courtyard wall is likely to be rubbed down by these people, and don't care about picking up people, one by one, they are like frosted eggplants, and they are drooping, waiting to be questioned by the county lord.
It's really terrible, seeing that the New Year is coming, something like this happened!
"Last night, the little one had already slept, in the middle of the night, I heard a noise in the house next door, the little one thought that the master was still studying at night, the day was too cold, the little one snooze, and he didn't get up...... If I had known that something like this had happened, I would have to climb up when I was young......" Ye Quan was about to cry.
Gao Wei coughed, Ye Quan hurriedly stopped crying, wiped his tears from his sleeves, and continued, "The little one was about to continue sleeping, when he heard a voice, 'His Royal Highness King Yan gave you this opportunity, don't you know how to lift', the little one was startled, and was about to get up, but suddenly, he didn't know what to inhale in his nose, so he fell asleep and died." ”
Next, the shopkeeper replied, "The small one gets up every day to clean the courtyard on the fifth watch, and it is the same early this morning, and when I get up, I see what this big jujube tree is dangling around, and the small one comes to see that there is actually a person hanging." ”
"Hmm!" Gao Wei touched his beard again and looked around at everyone, "Which of you saw the process of the deceased hanging?" ”
Jian Qing's eyelids jumped, raised his eyes, and glanced at Gao Wei, could it be that this faint official wanted to sentence Ye Xiping to suicide so easily?
Seeing that no one answered, Gao Wei really said, "In this way, there is no doubt that the deceased committed suicide!" ”
