The onlookers didn't like to be hung the most, so they urged: "Speak quickly, don't go around in circles." ”

Aunt Wang glanced at the man and continued to tell the story: "According to Su Xinglian's temperament of reaching out for food and opening her mouth, I haven't seen her go to the river to help wash clothes. I don't know why she suddenly had a fever in her head, and ran to the river to wash clothes in the evening. ”

"And Mrs. Su also said that Su Xinglian confessed to her family before going out that day, saying that she was going to go to the county to buy fat powder, and for some reason she went to wash clothes later, and she didn't bring much clothes when she went out."

"So weird? That's weird...... Don't be a supernatural event. "The villagers who are particularly superstitious have begun to lead in the direction of the netherworld.

Aunt Wang sighed wistfully: "Let's not talk about the supernatural or not, since Su Xinglian left Jiu Dong'er's house yesterday afternoon, I haven't seen her, but there are really no people." Otherwise, it is said that human life is all false, and maybe one day it will be gone. ”

"Then what about later, did the official take Lao Su's family to the county government to claim the body?"

"When I came back, they were still at Lao Su's house, and I don't know about the future." Aunt Wang thought that "it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together", so she began to encourage everyone to go to the ancestral house of the Su family to see the excitement: "If you want to know what will happen next, why don't we go to the old Su family to have a look." ”

Su Jiudong said to Liu Yunniang, who was still shocked: "A-Niang, let's go to the Su family's ancestral house, and by the way, go to find the thief who stole the shoes." ”

Liu Yunniang was confused: "The thief who stole the shoes? What does it have to do with the ancestral house? ”

The corners of Su Jiudong's mouth whispered a few words in Liu Yunniang's ear with a smile, and Liu Yunniang finally blinked her tearful eyes, repeatedly confirmed Su Jiudong's words, and had mixed feelings for a while, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Aunt Wang led Su Jiudong's villagers to the direction of the Su family's ancestral house, for fear that they would miss the play if they went late.

Sure enough, before approaching the Su family's ancestral house, the cries of the Li family and Su Dayou could be heard.

The gate was open, and Su Jiudong and the villagers all poured into the courtyard and looked into the house.

The old lady of the Su family, Li, hugged the pair of pink and green shoes and cried bitterly, pointing at the official and crying: "You liar! My family Xinglian won't die like this! She hadn't reached the age of thirty yet, how could she leave so early? Are you mistaken? ”

The three officials in the room were so troubled by Li's crying that they replied casually: "The shoes are your own recognition, and you compared them just now, and they are indeed the same size as the shoes that Su Xinglian passed down before, why are you now blaming us for saying that we are mistaken." ”

Aunt Wang, who was the first to speak, pretended to ask, "Old Madam Su, what's going on?" ”

Seeing so many people standing in the courtyard, Li was stunned at first, and then continued to cry: "My family Xinglian wore these boots to the county town yesterday, saying that she was looking for Xiaoshan to buy fat powder together, but she was killed, this is really a disaster from the sky!" ”

Su Jiudong, who walked into the house, looked at the official messenger, and one of them nodded slightly at Su Jiudong, and then Su Jiudong asked the Li family: "Old Madam Su, hasn't Su Xinglian come back yet?" ”

"You don't have the eyes to see?" Emotionally out of control, Li yelled impatiently: "If she is still at home, I will cry here?" ”

Su Jiudong thought that it was time to uncover the mystery, cleared his throat, and announced in a loud and serious voice: "Okay, since all the villagers are here, then I might as well tell you that Su Xinglian is not dead." ”

Li Shi was stunned again, stopped his ugly and piercing cry, and then continued to say angrily: "The officials of the family said that the body was placed in the county office, and you said that my family Xinglian was not dead, what are you kidding?" ”

"Old Madam Su, don't worry, it's best to listen to me patiently." Su Jiudong began the routine of making up stories: "I believe everyone knows that my husband is a small official, and occasionally he will take care of the affairs of the county government." ”

"This case of bandits intercepting and killing villagers, my husband also mentioned it to me this morning, saying that the secret guards he sent had found the family of the bitter lord in the county seat, and the family also went to the county government to claim the body......

Everyone listened to it for a while, and they were even more confused.

Liu Yunniang also didn't figure out how Su Jiudong was going to find out the thief who stole the shoes.

Su Jiudong looked at the three officials, pretending to be sorry and said, "I'm afraid the three of you are really mistaken, the dead person is not Su Xinglian, Su Xinglian just happens to have a pair of shoes of the same style and size as the deceased." ”

Li Shi was suddenly overjoyed, and still asked with doubts: "Since it was not my family Xinglian who died, why hasn't she appeared yet?" ”020

Su Jiudong condescendingly looked at the Li family who was lying on the ground with his shoes in his arms, and said in a casual voice: "Didn't you say that she went to the county town to find Su Xiaoshan, she hasn't come back yet, she must have stayed overnight in the third room." ”

"However, although Su Xinglian is not the bitter master of this bandit murder case, she is a suspect in another theft case." Su Jiudong dropped another bomb, and the onlookers only felt that the melon was eating more and more, and they all whispered.

Li shouted again: "What are you talking about again? How could my family Xinglian commit an accident? She's a good boy and never does anything bad. ”

"Never do bad things? Then who stole my mother's new shoes? Su Jiudong snorted coldly: "Yesterday, my aunt wore new clothes and new shoes and went home to pick up things, and when a guest came to visit, please negotiate in the house, and Su Xinglian was also one of the people who entered the house." ”

"Su Xinglian came uninvited, walked into the house and started eating and drinking without saying hello to my aunt, and also fell in love with my aunt's new shoes, so she deliberately bumped into my aunt, causing the tea in my aunt's hand to spill, and the clothes and uppers were wet."

Su Jiudong said in detail, connecting the points of doubt, and Liu Yunniang, who originally knew nothing, gradually understood the reason at this time.

Liu Yunniang figured out the cause and effect of the incident in advance, and the onlookers and the Su family were still trapped in the mystery, so Su Jiudong continued to narrate:

"After my aunt went to change her clothes and shoes, she continued to come back to entertain the guests, and Su Xinglian took advantage of the chaos to leave the main hall and went to my aunt's bedroom to steal new shoes. However, when leaving, I forgot to take my old shoes with me, and carelessly left evidence. ”

Su Jiudong pointed to the pink and green shoes in Li's arms and explained, "These shoes are also the wrong ones for these three officials. They came from the county government today to find someone to claim it was not the shoes of the bitter lord, but the shoes of Su Xinglian. ”

Li jumped up from the ground, carefully checked the shoes in his arms again, and confirmed that Su Xinglian's shoes were correct, and she was still gasping for breath if she didn't want to admit it: "How do you know that these shoes are my Xinglian's shoes?" ”

"Because the name of the bitter lord is rusted in the shoes of the bitter master, and the shoes of the bitter lord of the bandit murder case are already with the family of the bitter master, so the shoes in the county government are Su Xinglian's." Su Jiudong responded to Li's hysteria in a light tone.

"If you don't believe it, I can wait here today for Su Xinglian to come back and confront you."

It was only then that the onlookers suddenly realized what had happened.

It turned out that Su Xinglian was wearing pink and green shoes yesterday, and went to Su Jiudong's house to steal the new shoes that Liu Yunniang had replaced, and forgot to bring the old shoes when she sneaked away, leaving physical evidence. Liu Yunniang went to report to the official and handed over the shoes left by Su Xinglian to the county government.

At the same time yesterday, there was a murder of bandits, and a pair of shoes were left at the scene of the killing. The bitter master who was killed also wore the same pink and green shoes as Su Xinglian. However, the name is embroidered on the shoes of the bitter master, so it is easy to recognize.

So there were two pairs of pink and green shoes in the county office, one was the old shoes left by Su Xinglian, and the other was the shoes of the bitter master of the bandit murder case with the name embroidered.

The first group of officials took shoes embroidered with their names and found the family of the bitter master; And the second wave of officials mistakenly took the shoes left by Su Xinglian as the shoes of the bitter master, so they took Su Xinglian's shoes to the village and wanted to find the family of the bitter master of the murder case to claim them.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Su Jiudong only mentioned Su Xinglian, and this morning he reached the fourth official in the village with Su Jiudong, and appeared outside the door of the Su family's ancestral house with Su Xinglian.

The onlookers and villagers automatically made way for the official errand and Su Xinglian, and Su Xinglian, who was wearing chains on her hands, saw Li and Su Dayou and began to cry: "Daddy, Auntie! Save me! They said I had committed theft and wanted to arrest me and lock me up in the county office for six days! ”

"Xinglian! Tell the officials that you didn't steal, they must have made a mistake! Li wanted to step forward and hug Su Xinglian, but was pushed away by the fourth official.

Su Jiudong threw the pair of pink and green shoes at Su Xinglian's feet, and said coldly: "Su Xinglian, the evidence is in front of you, your aunt has confirmed that this is your shoes, and it is too late for you to deny it now." ”

"What am I denying? Why are you forcing me to admit what I haven't done? Su Xinglian didn't cry when she didn't see the coffin: "I said I didn't do it, I just didn't do it!" ”

"You confessed to your family yesterday that you were going to the county to find Su Xiaoshan to buy rouge together, and when you passed by my house out of the village, you entered to see the excitement, and took a fancy to my mother's new shoes, and then took my mother's new shoes, but unfortunately forgot to take the old shoes away."

Su Jiudong looked at the villagers outside the door and raised his voice: "The villagers present also have people who came to my house yesterday, and they can testify that you did visit my house yesterday." ”

"Because you stole shoes at my house and delayed the time, I estimate that by the time you arrive at the county seat, the rouge shop will be closed, and you will rush back to the village for fear that there will be no vehicles, so you will have to stay overnight in the three-room house." Su Jiudong said the guess in his heart.

"You and Su Xiaoshan agreed to continue to buy rouge today, so you didn't return home last night. The official accidentally brought your shoes to find the family of the bitter master of the bandit murder case, but by coincidence was recognized by your aunt. ”

"Your aunt said that you went to the county seat to find Su Xiaoshan yesterday, so this official rushed back to the county seat and found you in the third room, am I right?"
