Chapter 193: Black Stable Woman
In addition to the strangeness of the wound, there is an old wound on the back of Yan Luo's head, and Wen Po also said that Yan Luo did have sex before her death, but she was private. There are no new injuries in the place, and it is no longer a place. Son.
"What happened in the year that Yan Luo disappeared? How could he die in the Kou family out of thin air, and it looked like he still died in Kou's assistant? Zheng Lingyi was already sober at this time, and his mind was full of doubts to be solved.
Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "Now there is only one thing that is certain, a servant just quietly mixed in, there is definitely someone in the Kou family who is not clean." ”
Even Wu Zhi found this suspicion after a hurried look today, how could the Kou family themselves not know this?
The three stewards of the outer court have already tried it, all of them are pushing this and that, and that is pushing this, and no one admits that this servant was put in by himself.
On the second day, Gong Sicheng summoned the Kou family's subordinates to interrogate, and Wu Cheng took Guo Pingshi to examine the body again.
Yan Luo's body is now placed in the Shuojing Yamen, and the Wen Po of the day before yesterday is not a pretend to eat this bowl of rice, and she doesn't like to do things for this official again and again, so she avoids Wu Zhi and refuses to take this errand again.
"Actually, this corpse has already been examined, so there is no need to check it again." The official who was responsible for finding Wen Po but returned in vain punished Wu.
Wu Zhi always felt that this case was a mess, and the thread was on Yan Luo's body, he was always relieved if he didn't check it carefully, Wu Zhi thought about it and said, "Do you know Yu Qing. A stable woman who does things in the building? ”
"Yes, there is a black woman who specializes in Qing. The girl on the floor looked at her. The official spoke smartly, but he was a little stupid, and quickly said: "But people like her are even more reluctant to enter our official realm." ”
Wu Zhi glanced at the official and said coldly: "I asked you to invite her to come with a good voice?" ”
Since she is a black and stable woman, she earns black-hearted money in her pocket, and the blood in her hands is estimated to be unwashable, so naturally she doesn't have to be as polite as she treats good people, whether she wants to or not, just arrest her.
The servant took a little bit, and hurried out with a knife on his shoulder.
Guo Pingshi was accustomed to Wu Zhi's temperament, and he reprimanded him, anyway, this cold face was not aimed at himself.
Guo Pingshi has sorted out a clean desk and spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone together to facilitate recording.
Although the little servant was stunned for a while, he still had a bit of skill in handling things, and when he came back, he was followed by a stable woman with a gloomy face, and she was reluctant at first glance.
Wu Zhi threw a piece of silver over, and a flattering smile suddenly aroused on the wrinkled old face.
"Every time I say something suspicious, I will add a penny of silver to you, and if there is any omission, don't worry, take care of the food in prison."
This cold-faced handsome housheng spoke with grace and power, and when he heard that there was money to be earned, the stable woman was happy, and shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, there is no one in the capital who can compare to my mother-in-law!" ”
Other stable women don't have business to do every day, but she is different, she takes on black work, and green. The girl in the building has a lot of problems, and the east family asks for the west family, and there are many people in her hands, so she is naturally full of experience.
Yan Luo's corpse was covered with a large white cloth, and this stable woman didn't even look at her face, and went straight to Yan Luo. Walk around.
Wen Po lifted the white cloth, although she was blocked by the white cloth and didn't see anything, but Guo Pingshi and the official turned their backs in unison, and only Wu Zhi did not move.
She buried her head in it and tinkered for a long time, sneered, and said, "Which girl is this, or a good time to make money, why did she die?" ”
Guo Pingshi was shocked when he heard this, Wu Yan glanced at him, and then he choked back, and quickly wrote down something.
"How long does it take to pick up customers?" Wu Zhi asked calmly, as if he had known that Yan Zhen was a female branch. Woman.
"A year at most." Wen Po said.
"How do you see that?" Wu Zhi said again.
The Wen Po giggled for a while, and said, "There are some traces of medicine on her body, and the Liang family is afraid that they have never even heard of those medicines." ”
She lifted Yan Luo's clothes up again, and after even Wu Zhi retreated from the screen, he found an angle to stand still, and the screen blocked Yan Luo's body, but it just leaked the woman's face.
When the steady woman's eyes fell on Yan Luo's face, she suddenly trembled, and she hurriedly concealed her fear, but saw that Wu Zhi's sharp eyes were already firmly fixed on her.
"What's wrong? Old friend? Wu Zhi held the knife in his right hand, hugged his arms in front of his chest, and raised his eyebrows.
The adult laughed. How could the old man know this girl, but he felt that it was a pity that she went at a young age. "That Wen Po has also seen the wind and waves, and she was caught by Wu Punishment, and she can still laugh and lie.
"What do you think?" Wu punished the head and asked the little officer.
The little official thought for a while and said, "Even acquaintances are very common, except for prostitution. Outside of the guest, you know this green best. Lou girl, right? ”
"But the old body really doesn't know it." As the little official said, even if he admits it, it's nothing, but this stable woman bites to death and refuses to admit it, which makes people suspicious.
"It's better to do it," Wu Zhi said indifferently as if he was discussing with the little officer: "Let's play a few boards first, right?" ”
"You, how can an adult hit someone for no reason?" That Wen Po is not young anymore, and when she heard that she was going to play the board, she was naturally anxious.
"These four words for no reason, others can say it, you can't say it. I want to find a justifiable way to hit you from the beginning, how simple. ”
Wu Punishment's words were both reasonable and unreasonable, so angry that the stable woman couldn't speak, and the little official wanted to arrest her and torture her, so she collapsed on the ground and splashed loudly.
This trick can always force others to turn big things into small things, Wen Po tried again and again, but unexpectedly, a cold light flashed, and the tip of the knife had already hit her throat, and her throat was slightly cold, followed by a pain.
She was so frightened that she was almost incontinent, and hurriedly said: "The old body said, the old body said." ”
Wu Zhi withdrew the knife at this time, looked at the little blood on the tip of the knife with some disgust, and said coldly: "Say." ”
He had a handkerchief embroidered by Zheng Lingyi in his arms, but he didn't want it to be stained. filthy, so I only rubbed it on the head of the waste cloth nearby, and then put the knife into the sheath.
"This girl's name is Yanyue, she is a girl from Biluo Pavilion, she was reluctant to give in at first, so the old bustard asked me to use some wrists, that's all, that's all." Wen Po said continuously.
"Let's take it into custody first, it is estimated that there is still some dirty water that has not been spit clean, and you will be tried again." Wu Zhi commanded, turned around and walked out, Guo Pingshi hurriedly packed up his things and followed, ignoring the ghost crying wolf behind him.
He got a new clue, so he naturally wanted to go to Biluo Pavilion to check it, but as soon as he walked to the yamen, he saw a familiar Kou family entourage coming on horseback, and said to the two of them: "Two adults, something is wrong!" Gong Sicheng is looking for you! ”
The Kou family cried with a sad face, it was Kou Zhu who died!
They rode all the way, didn't have time to say anything, hurried to Kou's house, and were first reprimanded by Gong Sicheng, Wu should bear the punishment, and never reply.
Kou Zhu didn't wake up after taking a nap, and was noticed by his subordinates, and when he entered the house to investigate, he found that he had long since lost his breath, but his body was still warm, and he had obviously just died.
"A thief?" Wu Zhi and Kou Juechen stood together, and when they saw that their Kou family was all sad, they deliberately asked.
The Kou family hadn't reacted yet, and they didn't know how Gong Sicheng's ears were so sensitive at this moment, and they reprimanded: "The poison is in the food!" Who doesn't know that the house thief is the most suspicious, and you want to show off here? ”
Wu Zhi immediately kept silent, but Gong Sicheng ordered him again, and mocked: "Wandering around for a long time, can you get a clue?" ”
Wu Xuan didn't intend to tell the clues he had in front of these people, but he had to say it.
Gong Sicheng didn't expect him to really come up with such an important clue, flicked his sleeves, and had nothing to say.
"Biluo Pavilion? I'm going to go there and ask now! ”
Kou Zhiyu rushed out a little excitedly, Wu Zhi was about to stop it, Kou Juechen was one step ahead of him, and grabbed Kou Zhiyu.
"People in that kind of place are like mussel shells, the more aggressive you are, the more you can't pry a word! Such a big person, grow some brains! ”
Kou Juechen was also full of grief and anger at the moment, his qi and blood were surging, and he was very energetic, plus Kou Zhiyu was much thinner than him, and he was thrown to the ground.
Kou Juechen also felt that he had missed his hand, and wanted to apologize, but in front of so many people, it was difficult to say it.
Wu Zhi saw that Kou Zhiyu seemed to have blood in his eyes when he raised his eyes, but when he looked closely, the red mark of the lantern was in his eyes, and the subordinates behind him were replacing the red lantern with a white lantern.
Wu Zhi turned his head and saw that Kou Zhiyu took the initiative to come to Kou Juechen, and said, "Second brother, I was wrong, I was in a hurry just now." ”
He took the initiative to bow his head, and Kou Juechen didn't know how to hold it, so he hurriedly said: "It's me who shot too hard, but it's hurt?" ”
It's a scene of brothers, friends and brothers, Wu Xianke has never tasted this kind of taste, and he can't help but feel a little fake.
"Since it's a clue you dug up, you can check it." Gong Sicheng punished Wu.
Wu Zhi didn't say much, he hugged his fists and left, and when he left, he always felt that there were eyes glued behind him, and this feeling disappeared until he stepped out of the threshold.
Wu Zhi was busy all day, and his lunch was also passed away with street baked cakes, how could Zheng Lingyi be comfortable, he went to the market today, and also ate Shuojing's special delicacies, and returned to the inn to sleep comfortably until the evening.
When Lu Zhu brought her tea, she also brought a sentence from Chen, saying that she had something to do when she went out with Wu Zhu at night, and she was afraid that she would return late.
"Didn't say what to do?" Zheng Lingyi asked curiously.
Lu Zhu shook his head, remembering Chen's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, he also felt a little strange, but it was difficult to describe in words.
Zheng Lingyi slept well in the afternoon, and he was not sleepy after dinner.
Shuojing's evening was lively, and she leaned against the window to watch the crowds below, which was also interesting.
It's just that the night breeze is getting stronger, and the green beads cover the doors and windows, Zheng Lingyi sits at the tea table and reads a collection of Shuojing's nursery rhymes, some of which are still passed from the capital, but the words and sentences are slightly changed, adding more local flavor.
I don't know how long it took, Zheng Lingyi was a little hungry, so Lu Zhu asked Xiao Er to go to the noodle soup restaurant opposite and ask for a pancake with mutton soup, and ate it hot.
Zheng Lingyi was eating, someone knocked on the door, and Wu Zhi's voice came in a low voice, "Are you still awake?" ”
