Chapter Ninety-Three: The Little Daughter-in-law
Hearing these words, Song Chengxuan's eyes deepened slightly.
The young man said: "We know that something must have happened, and we want to listen carefully, but the man has already thrown the person down the river, and then left in the water...... I looked at the corpse first, and waited until someone found it before I deliberately shouted out. ”
"It seems that he still refuses to tell the truth," Xu Qinghuan said, "Lord Song should take people away!" ”
The young man was stunned, and turned his head to look at the woman who spoke, the woman was wearing a power fence that made people unable to see her face clearly, but her gestures revealed a shrewdness, that Lord Song didn't say much, but just standing here made them breathe.
I knew that when they met such two people, they would rather not take the silver.
The young man said with a sad face: "We saw that the old man was dressed very luxuriously, and we found a money bag on him, which was full of silver, we were afraid that the official would be asked where the silver was, and after getting the silver, we didn't have to take care of the body, and thought that the old man's family would definitely come to look for him, so it was better to sink the body into the water, and then the family would come to find him...... We then lied that we had seen the body of this old man, and handed it over to their family, who would surely reward us with money. ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "So, after the murderer killed someone, he left, the body of the second master Sun was originally in the cabin, after you took the silver, throw him into the river, wait for others to come and find him, and then take advantage of this to get the silver." ”
The boy nodded in acknowledgement.
Xu Qinghuan said: "You heard the voice of the murderer talking, and you also saw the murderer fleeing. ”
The boy said, "We saw it." ”
Xu Qinghuan looked in the direction of the Taoist temple: "That murderer is a Taoist aunt?" ”
The boy said, "How so, that's a man," and after saying this, he pleaded busily, "We are telling the truth...... We're just greedy for money...... You didn't kill anyone, so let us go, my lord. ”
"I want to let you go too," Xu Qinghuan raised his head, "It's a pity that this matter has to be sent to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, please let the adults of Shuntian Mansion call the shots." ”
The young man was stunned and looked at the Lord Song: "Aren't you the adults from Shuntianfu who came to investigate the case?" ”
The two teenagers looked bitter, how could he have thought that such an eldest lady could still deceive people.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Xu Qing'an: "My brother met such two thieves on the boat, caught them, and they also confessed these things, the murder is not trivial, brother quickly send people to Shuntian Mansion!" ”
Xu Qingan couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, someone had always threatened to go to Shuntian Mansion to sue him, and it was the first time he had swaggered to the door to find trouble in Shuntian Mansion.
Shuntianfu had just captured two Dao Gu, and he must not have expected that there would be new evidence so soon.
Ringing the drum of grievances outside the Shuntian Mansion at night, Xu Qingan felt very happy as long as he thought about it, he hadn't broken through this disaster yet, this time he borrowed light from his sister, and he could walk around generously.
"Be honest when you go with the master, otherwise the master will kick your ass." Xu Qingan ordered people to row.
All the boats were docked, and Xu Qingan, who was in high spirits, suddenly thought that Song Chengxuan was still beside him, if he left, what would Song Chengxuan do to his sister.
Although he is in a hurry to cause trouble, his sister is more important.
Xu Qinghuan saw Xu Qingan's worries: "Brother just go, and Uncle Lei will accompany me." ”
Xu Qingan walked away step by step.
"Lord Song," Xu Qinghuan looked at Song Chengxuan, "Why don't we find a place to talk." ”
The best place to talk around here seems to be in the carriage of the Xu family.
Xu Qinghuan got into the carriage, Song Chengxuan stood outside the window of the carriage, the wind swept through the curtains, the girl's face loomed, she raised her chin slightly, turned her head to see, the eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog under the moonlight, she lit a lamp in the carriage, and the warm yellow and soft light reflected her slender figure.
Song Chengxuan's mind suddenly floated a scene buried in the depths of his memory, he was taken by his mother to see the little doll that had just been born not long ago, and her mother praised her for being a beautiful woman.
He glanced at it curiously, and at that time he only thought that the little doll was really ugly, with a yellow complexion, a face like a big peach, a mouth pouting high, and sleeping soundly.
If you want to say that the cute place is that she supports her cheek with one hand, the whole appearance looks very comfortable, and her brother runs over to touch his sister's little hand, and his love is overflowing.
He didn't know where the curiosity came from, and he wanted to touch the little hand while everyone was not paying attention, but he didn't expect the hand to suddenly open and hold his fingers tightly.
He was startled and anxious to withdraw his hand, but she burst into tears, attracting everyone's attention.
The people around said that it was okay, the nurse stepped forward to pick her up and coaxed her gently, he lowered his head in shame, and the grandmother who served beside him said: "What is there to be ashamed of, brother, this is your future little daughter-in-law." ”
Xu Qinghuan looked at the figure outside the carriage, he stood there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking, at this moment the frost on his eyebrows seemed to have melted, revealing a somewhat gentle expression.
But just for a moment, his gaze was deep again, a pair of eyes as dark as ink, and he turned his head to look at her: "What do you think about this case?" ”
When he said this, he completely changed back to Song Chengxuan, who was usually unkind.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Before, I was still wondering, why did the murderer kill the second master Sun and throw the body into the river, if it wasn't found by the people playing in the water, it would take some trouble to find the body, but now the doubts are solved, it turns out that someone is greedy for money and destroys the murderer's arrangement."
The murderer cut off the tongue of the second master Sun, sank him in the river and tortured him to death, and then dragged the body onto the boat, which seemed to be very unreasonable.
In fact, in this way, you can see the murderer's thoughts, he has always been very clear about what kind of goal he wants to achieve, and every move revolves around this purpose, without the slightest deviation.
He didn't just want to kill people, he wanted to tell the world about his murderous actions, so that everyone knew that he punished Second Master Sun.
He leaked a lot of clues, just so that people could guess the reason why he killed Second Master Sun. ”
Song Chengxuan raised his eyes when he heard this, just in time to meet her gaze.
Xu Qinghuan said: "The Sun family is also a famous family in Huguang, but more than ten years ago, it was just some silver in their hands, until the Sun family reported that someone was smuggling weapons from the Japanese State, and the imperial court investigated the matter, and sure enough, it found the weapons on the merchant ships of the Japanese State, and this incident became the beginning of the Wei Wang's rebellion." ”
Song Chengxuan's expression was calm, and he didn't see the slightest wave: "You mean, this is King Wei's people punishing the Sun family?" ”
Xu Qinghuan paused for a moment and asked Song Chengxuan: "Does Lord Song think so?" ”
She looked at him as if she wanted the answer from his face.
