Chapter 81: The Dry Well Case Takes Revenge on His Father
The young man heard Hua Qiao say that he was the widow of Tailor Lin, and he looked up at her sharply, and even in the dark night, he could see the grief and indignation in his eyes.
"For fifteen years, I was ashamed of this identity, and my mother was also the widow of an adulterous murderer, and she was decrepit before she grew old, and at the age of thirty she began to have gray hair. When my mother returned to my grandfather's house, she was kicked out by her mother-in-law, a pregnant single woman, and Daming had no place for us at all......"
As he spoke, the young man leaned on the wall with his back and struggled to stand up, suppressing the anger in his heart and roaring in a low voice: "Until I was fifteen years old, I hated my own father!" I hate him because of his own indiscretion and cruelty, so that our mother and son can't hold their heads up. However, none of this is true! ”
"The truth? What is the truth? How do you know? Hu Yanjin couldn't help asking.
"If it weren't for the kind shopkeeper who asked me to come over and reward me with a bowl of rice, I wouldn't have heard someone inside drinking and boasting that he slept with the blacksmith's woman for nothing, but let Tailor Lin carry the pot! I wasn't sure if he was talking about my own father, and I asked people everywhere, and finally let me ask that Wang Wu, who drank and boasted that day, was the concubine of the Luo blacksmith woman. Head! ”
Hu Yanjin and Hua Qiao both gasped, and Hu Yanjin said again: "Even if you know that your father has not communicated with that woman. adultery does not prove that the person was not killed by your father. ”
"What's so hard about that? Wang Wu is proof of this, he said that he was wearing pants when he killed people...... "The young man's mood gradually calmed down, he stared at Hu Yanjin's face with hope in his eyes and asked, "You are an adult, right?" Can you avenge my father? ”
"If what you said is true, you should indeed overturn the case for your father, but it's just ......"
"Exactly? It's just that we're just a pariah, and it's not worth your help? The boy snorted coldly.
"At such a young age, how can you have such a big temper?" Hu Yanjin said with a smile: "It's just a case that Baoying County ordered to be decided by himself, do you think he will overturn the case for you and then cut off his own head?" Therefore, this matter must be discussed in the long run, and you have to sue the above, so that your father can have a chance to overturn the case. Would you like to listen to me? ”
The young man's face was full of excitement, he tore off the linen robe he was wearing and threw it on the ground, and said firmly: "Your Excellency, as long as I can return my father's innocence, I am willing to do anything!" ”
Hua Qiao picked up the linen robe on the ground, stuffed it into Hu Yanjin's hand and said, "The county government is still waiting for you, right?" Go quickly and hand over the 'ghost' to the county magistrate. My house is not far from here, and this little brother will follow him home. He won't be able to exert his leg for a while, so go back and give him some medicine. ”
Hu Yanjin looked around. Seeing a bamboo broom leaning against a bamboo broom at the back door, the broom head was removed, and a bamboo stick was left and handed to the young man: "I don't know what your name is?" ”
"Everyone calls me Heizi, and last year my mother knew that my father was wronged, so she gave me a big name, called Lin Mo."
"Ink? Is that still dark? Are you dark? "In the dim light, it's really hard to judge the buckwheat.
"Well, it looks pretty dark during the day...... Lin Mo scratched his head embarrassedly.
Hu Yanjin picked up the robe and said with a smile: "Then I'll go back to the county government first, and you will wait for me at the master's house." Beware of officials coming to the door to find someone. ”
Seeing Hua Qiao and the limping Lin Mo leave, Hu Yanjin turned around and walked towards the county office. They walked on the roof just now, in fact, they had already jumped a street, walked back, it took a lot longer, and when they reached the gate of the county office, Hu Yanjin estimated that Hua Qiao and they had returned to Hua's house.
"Lord Huyan, you're back!"
Xu County Commander has already summoned all the officials of the county government and is ready to conduct a large-scale raid. He could clearly see just now that the "ghost" on the roof was running with his feet, not floating. That's people! If this person is not caught, isn't he, the prince of Baoying County, going to show jokes to the people of the county?
"It's not a ghost at all, it's two people, one pretending to be a white ghost and the other pretending to be a, let them run away, and only got this." Hu Yanjin threw the linen robe on the ground, and many people recognized it, that it was draped on the "ghost".
"Li Dutou, Guo Zhutou, you take people to search! Find out those two Diao people for me! Since he was not a ghost, Xu Xian Ling began to command again. The two teams of noisy soldiers split into two ways and disappeared into the night.
"Father, Lord Huyan," after the officials at the door left, Miss Xu came out of the door and said, "The meal was not delicious just now, and the hot dishes have been remade, so you can come in and eat some more." "It's as natural as calling a family home for dinner.
Hu Yanjin said to Xu County: "Hu Yanchang has been running all the way, and today has been disturbing for a long time, thank you Xu County for your hospitality." Tomorrow I will hand over official business and say goodbye. ”
Without waiting for Xu County's order to stay, Hu Yanjin strode towards the Hua family.
"Father, why don't you keep Lord Huyan! Hey? How do you get there? Wangnan Academy is not in that direction, huh? Xu Moyan looked at Hu Yanjin's back and asked strangely.
"You don't know? Lord Huyan worshipped Hua Youcai as a teacher and learned techniques from him, saying that the emperor's grandson asked him to learn more. ”
"Worship flowers and have wealth as a teacher? Are you kidding? He is a dignified and four-grade young James, and he doesn't have to solve the case, what is he doing to learn that filthy technique? ...... That? Isn't Lord Huyan going to see buckwheat often? Xu Moyan was a little anxious, and she couldn't wait to rush over and pull Hu Yanjin back. How is it buckwheat again? The daughter of a small official, when she saw this four-grade handsome official, she didn't stick it hard?
The more Xu Moyan thought about it, the more angry she became, she shook her hand and entered the inner mansion and complained to her mother.
Hu Yanjin walked to the door of Hua's house, and saw that Hua Youcai was sending them out, Hu Yanjin hurriedly stepped forward and called "Master", and the few officials hurriedly saw the adults walking out. When they came in, they were going through the motions, but today the buckwheat was harmed by the "ghost" to the grave, and it is impossible to hide the ghost in his own home.
"Master, is the buckwheat back? You okay? ”
"It's okay, it's a routine. They didn't even enter the house, so they looked in the yard and left. ”
When they entered the hall, Hua Rong and Lin Mo were coming out of the back room, and Lin Mo's feet looked much better than just now. didn't see the buckwheat, Hu Yanjin was a little absent-minded. When Lin Mo saw him come in, he was very excited, and he was about to kneel down for Lord Huyan, but Huyanjin stopped him.
"Lin Mo also told us what happened just now, alas, seventeen years ago, I was also one of the managers, but I failed to find out the real culprit, so that Tailor Lin died in vain, and his wife and children left in the world suffered a lot, and I am also responsible. Fortunately, when we dragged the body of the tailor Lin to be buried, it was buried under two pine trees that grew opposite each other, and the canopies of the trees were connected like an arch. If nothing else, Tailor Lin should be found. ”
Lin Mo was really surprised and delighted when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that after many years, he could still find his father's bones, and he couldn't help crying when he thought of his parents and his own grievances.
even threw off Hua Rong's hand to support him, knelt down and kowtowed to Hua Youcai three times.
