Chapter 43: Spring and Snow
In the afternoon, the sun was not as warm as it was at noon, but a little more cold in winter.
Xiao Chuyun walked slowly along the direction of the carriage's departure, and walked to a family holding a funeral, a group of monks and masters chanted on the side, seeing that the coffin was about to be buried, but he didn't want a little girl about fifteen years old, dressed in mourning clothes, running to the coffin with a sad face, while chasing the coffin and beating the coffin again, crying and crying extremely sad.
"Mo Hu Hu, He He Su Tea, Splash and Wipe, Su Po He, Huh Hu Hu She, Mu Qi Suo He." Xiao Chuyun stood in the distance, facing the coffin with his hands folded, his face was calm and peaceful, and his eyes whispered slightly: "When you come, you will have thorns all the way, and I wish you will have a bright road when you go away." ”
When Xiao Chuyun was about to leave, a very noisy sound suddenly reached her ears, and it was okay anyway, so she stopped and looked at the sound, but saw:
The inky black coffin fell to the ground, the whole side came over, and the coffin lid also fell to the side, only to see the body of a woman in red clothes also thrown out of the coffin, together with the square white paper covered on her head and a penny in her mouth, riding an evil wind blowing from nowhere, the money in her mouth rolled to the ground, and rolled to Xiao Chuyun's feet.
At this time, I saw a man in a white mourning dress running over, picking up the paper and the money in his mouth, and shook Xiao Chuyun deeply, and said with a little guilt: "It's a bad girl!" ”
After that, the man hurriedly walked back, Xiao Chuyun was still looking over there, only looking at the little girl chasing the coffin just now, kneeling next to the corpse, crying and shouting, blocking the people on the side to prevent the corpse from entering the coffin, while shouting: "Please!" My sister didn't commit suicide! She died in vain, her grievances are not in vain, and she can't be buried! ”
The man with the paper and the money in his mouth walked up to the woman and kindly persuaded: "Shi Chunfang, this is your sister, people die greatly, and you can't be allowed to mess around like this!" ”
Xiao Chuyun watched from the side, and when he turned his eyes, he saw the female corpse lying on the ground, and he shivered all over his body in an instant, because when he looked over, he saw that her eyes were open, and her mouth was also slightly open, as if she really had some grievances, telling the sky.
The footsteps involuntarily took two steps forward, and then he only looked at the little girl Shi Chunfang crying like a tearful person, and directly pointed to the man in front of him and said, "Hong Liangcai! You killed my sister, of course you are in a hurry to bury it, so as to bury the evidence of your crime quickly! My sister has been married to you for less than three years, although she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter for your Hong family, but which one of my aunts and in-laws is not she serves every day, for fear that your Hong family will be a little uncomfortable! But what about you! You can't divorce your wife, but you killed her ruthlessly, are you still human! ”
Shi Chunfang turned around and threw herself on her sister's corpse at this time, crying bitterly, and the relatives and friends on the side gathered over, and pointed directly at Hong Liangcai, and said very aggrievedly: "Uncles and elders, my sister really died in vain!" Look at my sister, she's not fair! She doesn't blink to death, and even death tells her wrongs, you see! ”
At this time, Hong Liangcai directly slapped Shi Chunfang, knocked her to the ground, and said angrily: "Your sister just hanged herself, and her suicide note was written, so there can be a fake!" Let me tell you Shi Chunfang, since your sister married me, your sister was worried that you had no one to take care of, so she took you over, and I Hong Liang saw that your parents were dead and lonely, so I have always regarded you as my own sister, if you are so nonsense, from now on I will leave my Hong family! ”
"Where's the suicide note? The suicide note was given to me, and I immediately stopped making noise! Shi Chunfang stretched out her hand to Hong Liangcai and asked for a suicide note.
"Here you go!" As he spoke, Hong Liangcai took out the suicide note from his arms and threw it directly to Shi Chunfang.
Shi Chunfang read the suicide note and immediately burst into laughter, stood up directly and pointed at Hong Liangcai, and said confidently: "Hong Liangcai! Your fox tail is out! My sister doesn't know much and rarely practices calligraphy, and in the days before she died, she was slapped by you, and her hand just hit the corner of the table, and you said that she was cooking badly at dinner, how could she write such a fair suicide note? It's clear that you killed my sister and forged a suicide note! ”
At this time, Hong Liangcai bowed deeply to his uncle and elders with an aggrieved face, and cried and wiped his tears like the woman's family, and said very aggrievedly: "Uncles, listen to my defense, this woman is really not killed by me, I am wronged, I can't say it!" Uncles, you don't know, her sister Shi Chunxue has a very close relationship with that Wang Xiucai, I beat her that day, because I broke their adultery, preached a few words, and slapped her in anger, I was going to divorce her, but I didn't want to come back from the ground, my wife she hanged herself and lost her breath, this suicide note may be written by Wang Xiucai for her, just because this is a family ugly, there is no light on her face when she says it, and besides, this woman has apologized for her death, I don't want to pursue it, I just want to do it hastily, is this also wrong? ”
When Xiao Chuyun saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart, looking at the female corpse Shi Chunxue staring at the boss's eyes, staring at her directly, which made her feel a little hairy on her back, as soon as she remembered the scene of the white paper and the money in her mouth just now, there was a voice in her heart telling her that this Shi Chunxue died strangely.
Thinking of this, he walked forward, only to see his sister Shi Chunfang kneeling on the ground, with tears on her face, crying and praying to the sky, slamming her head on the ground one by one, and said, "Oh my God! Open your eyes! She was wronged, she didn't deserve to die in vain! How can you be so ruthless, let your sister's grievances not be in vain, and let the murderer go unpunished, is this the principle of heaven? ”
When Xiao Chuyun saw this Shi Chunfang crying to the sky, he instantly sympathized with her, and couldn't help but say, "She really didn't hang herself!"
As he spoke, Xiao Chuyun walked towards them, stood beside them, glanced at the group of people a few times, and then helped this Shi Chunfang up, and said to this group of uncles, elders, and young peers, especially to this Hong Liangcai: "Your wife's death is not clear, but you have sued the government, have you asked for an inspection?"
Hong Liangcai sighed at this time, and said with a sad face: "She left a book to hang herself, so naturally she didn't report to the official."
After the words fell, Xiao Chuyun took the so-called suicide note from Shi Chunfang's hand, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Didn't you say it just now, this suicide note may have been written by that Wang Xiucai, since this is the case, then the corpse should be parked, and a statement should be written to sue the adulterer and adulteress and bring them to justice?"
"My sister is not an adulteress! He was the one who framed my sister, it was him! Shi Chunfang pulled Xiao Chuyun's arm and cried.
Xiao Chuyun gently brushed away Shi Chunfang's hand, and said very flatly: "Don't worry, listen to me!"
At this time, Hong Liang was a little dull and didn't speak, and the old man who was over half a hundred years old on the side said: "This girl, you said that she didn't hang herself, if there is no evidence, but I want to sue you for false accusation and slander!"
Xiao Chuyun nodded slightly to the old man at this time, then glanced at Shi Chunxue, who had already died on the ground, and said to the old man, "Didn't the deceased already say it very clearly?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked towards Shi Chunxue, looking at Shi Chunxue who was dead, with her mouth slightly open, and her empty eyes looking at the sky, which was really a little scary.
"Dead girl! She has been dead for many days, don't pretend to be a ghost, not all dead people are the same, don't talk nonsense! Hong Liangcai pointed at Xiao Chuyun and said angrily.
Xiao Chuyun only felt funny at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly with some sarcasm, and said with a smile: "Are all dead people the same?" This poisoned death is not the same as falling off the cliff and dying, so it can't be generalized! ”
At this time, the old man on the side said loudly: "Little girl, since you say so, if you don't show the credentials, the old man will send you to the government and sue you for slander and prevent our funeral burial!"
"It's not difficult to come up with evidence, but I have to ask the old man for permission to say a few words to this Shi Chunxue, and the results will come out." Xiao Chuyun looked at the people around him and said.
Xiao Chuyun saw that the old man nodded, then turned around and walked to the corpse, and suddenly a rotting stench wafted over, so he took a deep breath, squatted beside Shi Chunxue with bated breath, and raised his hand to look at her neck.
At this glance, I saw two traces of rope about an inch wide on her neck, one whitish, from under her jaw to behind her ear; A purple-red color with a slight shade of blood, underneath the white mark, from the neck to the back of the neck. In addition to this, there were several scratches on her neck, which were slightly red. When she opened her mouth, she found that her tongue was falling back. Looking down, he gently pressed her abdomen, showing a soft state, her arms were slightly bent and stiff, and her hands were also scattered and weak.
Xiao Chuyun also had some bottom in his heart at this time, but in order to be able to be fully sure, he still turned his eyes to her legs, lifted her skirt and trouser legs, and wanted to see if there were any scratches on her thighs, but he didn't expect that there was a light red handprint on her ankles. If there is anything special, it should be that there is a break in the middle finger of the mudra, and it should be something like a ring on the hand, so it is so.
"The evidence is out, do you want to hear it?" Xiao Chuyun got up and took two steps to the side slightly, and said.
Shi Chunfang hurriedly took Xiao Chuyun's hand, knelt on the ground, and looked at her very anxiously, as if a drowning person saw a savior, full of hope, and couldn't wait to say: "Girl, say it quickly!" As long as the girl is willing to help Chunfang, the girl is Chunfang's great benefactor, and she will repay the girl as a cow and a horse! ”
Before Xiao Chuyun could speak, Hong Liangcai pushed Xiao Chuyun to the side, and said with disgust while pushing: "My Hong family's white affairs, I didn't ask you to condole, and I didn't report to the official, I don't need a little girl to meddle in my own affairs, if you are meddling in your affairs and miss the auspicious time for my mother's burial, I won't spare you!"
"Hey! You...... Yes! Xiao Chuyun was pushed and kept retreating, and his feet were unstable and he almost fell.
Before Xiao Chuyun fell to the ground, she was helped up from behind, and when she stood firm, she found that the person was holding her arm with one hand, and holding her shoulder with the other hand on her back. Jintai County's Ya arrested Jiang Yue quickly, and was ordered to come here to investigate the case, does he have no right to interfere? ”
