Chapter 40: The King Enters the Urn
In Shi Zhong's study, Shi Ansheng knelt straight on the blue brick floor, his two lines of tears were like noodles, and he scolded loudly, "Which dog is spreading rumors that my Lao Tzu killed someone?" I am his eighteenth generation ancestor! ”
Shi Huai stepped into the study, just when he heard this, he paused, he was really a little dissatisfied, "Master, this word is now spread all over Lingqiu County, the ancestors of so many people, the master is an iron rod sharpened into a needle, and it will not come soon!" ”
Shi Ansheng hurriedly got up from the ground, and Shi Zhong swung a stick over, "You kneel down for me, who wants you to get up?" ”
Shi Huai scolded his little master, and he was also a little worried that the old master would hold a grudge, so he made a bowl of tea and brought it over to appease the old master first. Immediately afterwards, he turned around and approached Shi Ansheng, "Master, there is no one else at this time, you just tell us the truth, was Li Shi killed by Xiao Ye?" ”
When Shi Ansheng heard this, he was desperate, "Hey, you want my life, what am I going to do with that waste from him?" Isn't it just to fight for Miss Ziyan in the jade building at that time? If it weren't for someone talking about it now, I would have forgotten about Tang River Bay. Dad, you don't even believe me, do you? What else do I have to do? ”
Shi Zhongyin lost that he didn't read a book when he was a child, and he couldn't read a few big characters, he always sighed that his fate was not good, otherwise, how could he succumb to Jiang Zhonglin's kind of waste and let him drive? originally hoped that his son would study hard and shine on the lintel in the future. Who knows, this son is really not like him at all, he just followed his mother, sang and wrote well, he was really born in the wrong place, he should be a show!
Shi Zhong kicked at his son, hating iron but not steel, "If it weren't for you becoming a fan of Hualou, Li Shi would be dead today, and others would be suspicious of you?" Tell me, did you kill Li Shi or not? ”
Shi Ansheng is really wronged, others don't believe him, he doesn't even believe his father, he really wants to die, "Dad, don't you have a number of pounds and taels in your heart?" I have the ability to kill people, I, I, what can I do? Besides, what am I going to do with him? Picture of his big-bellied wife? ”
It's literally every sentence that can be heard in the ear.
Shi Zhong closed his eyes and sighed.
Shi Huai was in a hurry to death, he suddenly understood, whether it was killed by the master or not, it was useless, the key was how to make a decision on the county master's side? In case, this matter is not clear, and it is not necessary to find someone to resist in the future!
His son follows the master all day long, can he get out of it?
"Master, you have to think of a way!"
"There's only a way to do it!" Shi Zhong got up after speaking, Shi Ansheng was thinking that his father was gone, and he didn't have to kneel, who knows, his father had a perspective eye, and before going out, he said viciously, "I didn't say to let you get up, you can kneel for me!" ”
Who is spreading the rumors? Shi Ansheng made a big wish, if he found out, he would find a way to kill that person!
Jian Qing waited in the yamen, and when it was almost an hour, Shi Zhong came.
Jian Qing was talking and laughing with people in the soap room, and when Shi Zhong passed by the door with his hands behind his back, he glanced at Jian Qing. Jian Qing waited early in the morning, and when Shi Zhong passed, he found an excuse, said that he wanted to go to the thatched house, came out of it, and poked his head at the door of the matching room where Shi Zhong usually worked.
"You're smart!" Shi Zhong beckoned to her, took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to her.
Jian Qing took it and saw that it was a silver ticket of fifty taels of silver, she was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she hurriedly handed over the silver ticket, and said with a sneer, "No merit is not punished, what does Uncle Shi command, the little one will do it!" ”
Shi Zhong didn't collect the silver ticket, he clasped his hands, "Jian Qing, you should have heard the rumors in Lingqiu County, right?" You say, did Li Shi kill my son Shi Ansheng? ”
"This ...... The little ones don't know! Jian Qing saw that Shi Zhong's face sank, and she hurriedly said, "The case has not been clarified, and no one dares to speak falsely." ”
But why did anyone just speak falsely? Do you know who started this rumor? ”
"The little one doesn't know, but the little one knows how to quell this rumor."
"What's the method?" Shi Zhong handed over the silver ticket, "My Shi family is not short of this bit of silver, you can take this silver ticket first, as long as you can help my Shi family quell this rumor, you Uncle Shi and I still have a lot of thanks!" ”
"But the small ones really can't be taken. Finding out the truth was originally a small responsibility, but now, the county magistrate doesn't seem to have the intention of finding out about this case, and the little one doesn't dare to act without authorization, so there will be a delay. ”
"I will go and persuade the county magistrate to order the investigation of this case as soon as possible, you have great ambitions, I will not stop you, however, the man is standing on the ground, he must first raise his adoptive parents and raise his younger brother, these fifty taels of silver are only when I support you today, and when you spread your wings in the future, it will not be too late to pay it back!"
Jian Qing really wanted to take it, as long as she had three or five dollars of silver, her mother could make her a brand new padded jacket, and she didn't have to freeze like a cold bird every day. However, no one knows what will happen in the future, even Jian Qing herself doesn't know whether Li Shi was killed by Shi Ansheng, how can she take the Shi family's money?
Jian Qing's gaze moved away from the fifty taels of silver, she raised her head, looked at Shi Zhong, and said firmly, "Uncle Shi, you have always taken care of me, I am very grateful." But the Jian family is in a lowly family, and in this life, I am afraid that it is impossible to spread my wings and fly high, I dare not owe kindness, first, I am afraid that it will be difficult to travel far with a heavy load, and secondly, I can't pay it off. ”
Shi Zhong couldn't force it.
Because it was about his son, Shi Zhong quickly went to find Jiang Zhonglin, who knows, as Jian Qing said, Jiang Zhonglin didn't care about this case at all, of course, he couldn't oppose the investigation, only said, "The corpse has also been examined, let Niu Er take someone to investigate, and I will bother the county to supervise it." ”
Song Zhi hasn't left yet, Jiang Zhonglin is bent on offering the great god next to the acting king, where is there any leisure to take care of this case?
The fast shift was originally not enough, Jiang Zhonglin said on the front foot that he handed over the case to Niu Er, and on the back foot, he arranged for Niu Er to lead a few people to accompany Song Zhi to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers.
The only people left to investigate the case were Shi Yan and the other two officials who were not very good at things, Wang Hu Luping. But, no matter what, Jiang Zhonglin has made it clear that this case can be investigated, which is enough for Jian Qing.
Jian Qing and Wang Hu went to the door of the Shi family together, and Shi Ansheng was still kneeling in the study.
Jian Qing went and asked straight to the point, "Shi Ansheng, on September 28, you asked people to go to the security hall to buy a total of three coins of arsenic, where is this arsenic used?" ”
"Arsenic? I bought arsenic, who is in the way? Who says you can't buy arsenic anymore? Shi Ansheng stiffened his neck, like a fighting, and said with a bang.
