Chapter 36: Murder
After Xia Lan finished crying, she knelt aside and wept silently, and the handkerchief in her hand was soaked.
Seeing this, Yun Yi took out his handkerchief from the sachet and handed it over silently. Xia Lan was still a little scared, but in the hazy eyes of tears, she saw that it was the little Taoist chief who was one of the life-saving benefactors, so she thanked her gratefully, and then took the handkerchief with confidence.
Yuan Ye saw Yun Yi hand his handkerchief to Xia Lan, and felt that this picture was a little dazzling, but he couldn't find a reason to stop it, so he could only sulk and turn around to look at the scene that made him uncomfortable.
Pi County Ling also reacted to the order, and things were not as simple as imagined.
The official was immediately ordered to drag the prisoner forward and interrogate him carefully. At the same time, the celebrity turned the small courtyard upside down.
After a while, a servant came to report that a hole had been found under the bed in the wing room for one person to enter and exit.
The hole is not large, about the size of a cellar.
There was a lot of quicklime and plant ash piled up inside, and the servants dug up the loose soil under their feet, revealing a few white bones that had not been finished.
After being hurriedly called, he went down to inspect it, and returned to the courtyard and said, "My lord, there are three female corpses, one of which should have died for more than a year, and the other two died within half a year. ”
When the gangsters who had always refused to admit it saw this, they suddenly felt like they were mourning.
Someone outside the courtyard had the tip of his ear and spread the words of the pretend, which immediately caused an uproar.
"Three dead? Are they all women? ”
"Yes, did you say that the mother-in-law who ran away with someone a year ago ......?"
"Oh my God, no!"
"I still wondered at the time, that Wang Chen has always been cowardly and timid, why did he find a concubine and run away quietly!"
"You didn't say that at the time, you didn't bury her behind your back."
"I am...... Who would have thought. ”
"Oh my God! This Wang family looks very decent on weekdays, huh? There won't be any grievances! ”
"Knowing people and knowing faces does not know hearts! What's more, everyone has caught it, if this is not caught, the little lady in the courtyard will be the fourth! ”
"But I haven't heard of anyone in the city whose family is gone?"
"Maybe he only abducted those who came to Jiangzhou City for the first time!"
"That's it, that's it, you see that little lady is."
"Bury the dead under the bed where they sleep...... What a pervert. ”
"Who's to say it isn't, huh? You say, this neighbor doesn't smell it? ”
"That's because you don't know, what did their family do before, the ancestors made a fortune by embalming the corpses of nobles, but they fell into despair later."
……
Xia Lan was even more shocked when she heard this, and she almost became a nameless corpse.
If it weren't for the two benefactors who saved her in time, next year today would be her death day.
Thinking of this, she turned around and knelt solemnly in the direction of Yuan Ye and Yun Yi, and bowed.
Yun Yi couldn't stop it, so he had to hide to the side, and avoided the danger, the Taoist in the cultivation is not subject to the bowing of the living, and the Taoist rules are clearly written.
Yuan Ye sat on the chair that Wei 13 took and accepted her salute calmly.
Pi County ordered to take the hot iron and directly go to the court in the small courtyard to try this Wang family boy, the other party saw that the matter had come to this point, and he no longer pretended, and he looked like he loved it.
Seeing the appearance of the Wang family boy who couldn't splash the oil, Pi County Ling sneered, he has been an official for many years, and he has never seen what kind of scoundrel.
beckoned a servant to come forward, and after whispering a few words, the servant was ordered to go to the boy of the Wang family.
I saw that the official sneered, stretched out his foot and directly crushed the broken leg, and a terrible scream suddenly sounded in the courtyard.
Yun Yi couldn't help but shiver when he saw it, and silently rubbed his knees.
After a while, the Wang family kid couldn't stand the torture, and wept bitterly and explained everything.
