Chapter 25: The Murder Resumes
Liao Zicheng knocked on Zhan Suiyu's door, "Childe, the matter you want me to investigate has a result." ”
After going to Zang Mansion a few days ago, the matter of Zhang Qining's suggestion that Zhan Sui Yu order someone to investigate has already become apparent.
Zhan Suiyu put down the corpse that Chen Lin had copied from the pretend, raised his frowning brows, and saw that it was Liao Zicheng who stretched his brows and asked him to come in.
"How's it going?"
Liao Zicheng: "A few days ago, Gongzi, you asked me to investigate Zang Jintian's deceased wife and Zang Chengji, and now there are results. I said one by one, starting with Zang Jintian's deceased wife. ”
Zhan Suiyu hummed, "You sit down and say." ”
"Okay." After Liao Zicheng sat down, he told everything he had heard.
"Actually, there is nothing to say about Zang Jintian's deceased wife. Her original name was Hu Sheng, and she was a young lady from a large family. It was not the order of her parents that she married Zang Jintian, and the words of the matchmaker were Zang Jintian's own meaning.
After marrying into the Zang family, the two were very affectionate, but because the Hu family had nothing to do, the old lady of the Zang family kept asking Zang Jintian to take a concubine to continue the incense for the Zang family.
Zang Jintian himself didn't seem to mean that, but the Wang family simply stuffed a side house with an ordinary family background into the room, which is now the Li family. ”
Zhan Sui Yu: "What happened later?" ”
Liao Zicheng continued: "Later, Hu Shi contracted the disease and died violently. ”
Sudden death?
"Confirmed to have died?"
Liao Zicheng: "If a relative in the family dies, if no one insists on the autopsy, the yamen will not be able to interfere, and you also know this."
The Zang family directly collected the people and buried them, but the subordinates asked the subordinates of the Zang Mansion back then, according to them, Hu did feel unwell for a few months before he died, and the doctor didn't use it to see it, maybe he was infected with a strange disease. ”
Zhan Sui Yu sighed in his heart, "In this way, there is nothing suspicious about this Hu family. ”
Then why did Zang Huang reveal this hint to Zhang Qining?
"Actually, there is something strange about the Hu family." Liao Zicheng suddenly remembered something.
"What's the matter?"
After the death of Zang Jintian's father, Zang Shuping, the Zang family's business plummeted, and there was no silver turnover, so they even used the things in the store as collateral to settle the deficit. The pawnshop has no customers, and the store is closed to customers, almost nothing.
But after Hu married into the Zang family, all the problems were solved at once. The money was unblocked, and slowly the business was back in operation. Therefore, it is rumored that Hu Wangfu transferred his luck to Zang Jintian, so he was infected with a strange disease in the end. ”
Zhan Suiyu couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "What nonsense is this?" Wait, didn't you just say that the Hu family is a young lady from a big family, and the number of dowries should be quite a lot. The Zang family was stretched thin at that time, and I was afraid that they used other people's dowries to fill the deficit and take care of it up and down. ”
Then again, though. If the Zang family really reached the point where they needed to use the things in the store as collateral, then pay off the debt, plus take care of it and regain the trust of the old customers and the money bank, and bet the money on the Zang family's pawn shop. That's a lot of money......
Zang Jintian made his own marriage, and the situation at that time should not allow him to know any women outside.
"I remember that Suzhou Mansion does not have the surname Hu and has strong financial resources, whose daughter is that Hu Sheng? Are there any relatives still alive? Zhan Suiyu asked.
"What Childe said is that there are indeed no eligible families in Suzhou Prefecture. Later, his subordinates also traced the Hu family's background, but..."Liao Zicheng suddenly hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not that the subordinates didn't do their best, but that the Hu family seemed to fall out of thin air, and there was no clue at all. Even the fact that she is the daughter of a big family is still known from the people who have befriended Zang Mansion after she married into Zang Mansion.
But they also pieced together from Zang Jintian's words, according to them, Zang Jintian attaches great importance to his wife, but whenever the male guest looks at it twice, he doesn't have a good face, let alone reveal anything. ”
Nothing, how can it be so clean?
Zhan Suiyu: "Okay, I have a general understanding of the Hu family. What about Zang Chengji? ”
Liao Zicheng: "Zang Chengji is a native of Suzhou, so it's not difficult to check him. He can be regarded as a romantic debt left by the previous head of the family.
At that time, his mother was still Zhang Jintian's nurse, but she didn't expect that the child had not been fed for a few months, and there was a small one in her belly. Zang Wang's family made trouble about this back then, and refused to leave people behind, so Uncle Zang flattened a small courtyard and settled people, and he didn't ask much.
The child was born a boy, and his mother dragged people to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. This trouble has been going on for several years, and Zang Shuping didn't pay much attention to the woman, and with the Wang family in the way, they didn't have a good time. A woman also dragged a child and sold the small courtyard to live in the hall. If you are sick, you can't afford to hire a doctor, the environment is not very good, and the poor body is gone.
In the end, it was Zang Shuping's own species, and after she was gone, the Wang family was willing to loosen her mouth, and at the age of fourteen, she brought people back into the family tree. At that time, this matter was in that area, and the Zang family was not decent. Wang looked at Ji Ying, Zang Shuping didn't bother to care about him, Zang Chengji was empty in the name of the second young man, and it was okay to bluff people, but he had no real power. ”
No wonder he said that day that he wanted Zang Chengji to return to Zang's mansion Wang's reaction was so big, the concubine's mother was his son's nurse, and he was only one year old apart from his son, it is estimated that Wang's heart to induce vomiting for his son is gone. This Uncle Zang is really disgusting, his wife has just given birth, and he even has his son's nurse.
Liao Zicheng: "I went to the hall where Zang Chengji's mother and son lived back then, where the population was mixed, street beggars, hooligans and ruffians were all frequent visitors. If I didn't really have a place to stay, I wouldn't have lived in that kind of place. I can't think of a woman with a child living in that kind of place. ”
At that time, the Wang family was pressing, and there were not many options left for Zang Chengji's mother and son, that is, Zang Chengji's mother wanted to do some ordinary women's work to earn a living, and the Wang family was afraid that she would not want to. As long as she still wants to stay in Suzhou, she will not have a peaceful birthday.
But she just wanted to.
originally sold the small courtyard that Zang Shuping gave her, and it was no better for her to leave Suzhou with her children than in the hall. People like the Wang family would never be condescending to that kind of place, because of the glory and wealth of the "two young men of the Zang family", Zang Chengji's mother would rather "lie down and taste the guts" than leave the city of Suzhou for half a step.
The gesture of the poor trying to climb into the abyss is the most lamentable, everyone wants to change their fate, and the desire that is stronger than anyone else is understandable. But Chengwang was defeated, Zang Chengji's mother was defeated, there is nothing to say. gave up self-love, lost self-esteem, and took Zang Chengji's life. She did something wrong, so there was no good result.
Zhan Suiyu raised his hand to stroke his forehead, not wanting to sympathize with such a woman.
Liao Zicheng: "Zang Chengji has been in the hall since he was a child, because he eats less and wears shorter, his body is a little weak, and the people around the hall are not serious people, and his mother rarely lets him go out."
Listening to the old man in the hall say that he often heard his mother scolding him, then hugging him and crying, and then beating and scolding, they all felt that his mother was too stimulated, and sometimes his brain was not normal. Therefore, Zang Chengji used to be very timid, and he was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night.
After recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, I don't know if his mother is gone, coupled with the stimulation of the Zang family, it has become a copy of his mother. He often beats and scolds his subordinates in the family, and he is nervous all day long, and abuses the people around him whenever something goes wrong. No one in the Zang family reported the abuse of the domestic servant, and no one died, and the doctor confirmed that he was sick after reading it, and the government could not intervene at all. ”
Thinking of the day Zang Yingying was found, Zang Chengji was splashing and rolling at the gate of the official mansion, Liao Zicheng sighed, and suddenly felt some sympathy for him.
It is estimated that there is also Wang's handwriting in Zang Chengji's illness, and Zhang Qining mentioned that most of the injuries on Huang's body were confiscated by him. Is it possible for him to kill someone?
Let's not say that he hasn't returned to Zang's house for a long time. The strangulation marks on the corpse were clear and complete, and the strangulation technique often carried the meaning of punishment or enjoyment, which could not have been done with his impulsive and changeable nature.
And he looked at the corpse again, the finger marks on the neck were thin and small, not so much like an adult, but a little like...
"Childe, boss! Oh no, something happened! Xu Hao has always been steady, but when he got the news at this moment, he hurriedly ran in, a little out of shape.
Zhan Suiyu frowned, and some strange feelings came to her mind. "What's the matter?"
"Zang Mansion is dead!"
"What did you say?!" Zhan Sui Yu stood up in shock, took a big step and stepped forward directly, a trace of coldness flashed between his eyebrows.
"When?! It's not for you to stay in Zangfu, what are you going to eat! Liao Zicheng was also furious, and arranged for people to stay in Zang's Mansion just to prevent the murderer from committing another crime, and they actually let people commit crimes under their noses?
"Who died?" Zhan Suiyu suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Zang... Tim Zang. ”
"What?!"
