Wang Bingquan arched his hand: "It's the lower official who is reckless, it's just that the grandfather who is pink is disrespectful and insults the younger brother of the lower official, and the lower official is furious, and he hopes that the two official uncles will forgive their sins." ”

Wang Bingquan's words were sincere, and let others see that he really looked like he knew his mistakes and could change them.

According to the information received by Huguo Villa, Wang Bingquan has served as the mayor of Taoyuan Town for two years, and has repeatedly connived at his younger brother and his subordinates to rob people's daughters, eat overlord meals, and bend the law for bribes, and use his status as the mayor of Taoyuan Town to make a fortune in Taoyuan Town.

Wang Bingquan has long been notorious, this time Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang came to Taoyuan Town, one is to track down the whereabouts of the stolen military salary, and the other is to punish Wang Bingquan, the mayor of Taoyuan Town.

"Mayor Wang, do you know who Qiaoxia the people are talking about?" Although Dugu Shaobai's voice was gentle, the coldness in his tone made Wang Bingquan shudder.

"This Qiaoxia...... It's a girl in the green building, who died a year ago. Wang Bingquan lowered his head, and cold sweat broke out on the top of his head, for fear that the two officials in front of him would find out how Qiao Xia died.

"You talk nonsense! cough cough cough ......" As soon as he heard Wang Bingquan insulting Qiao Xia, Grandpa Taohong, who was standing on the side, coughed anxiously, and patted his back with red eyes to give him relief: "Grandpa, pay attention to your ...... body"

Grandpa Peach was very emotional: "You...... Neither nor your brother is a good thing! I killed my eldest granddaughter in Chunxiang Building, and I killed her! cough cough cough ......"

"You old thing...... Wang Bingquan was about to open his mouth to scold back, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang standing aside, for the sake of the face of these two officials, he endured it.

"Okay, now the top priority is to find the head of the corpse, Yu Tang, you come to ask about Qiaoxia, I will go find the head of this corpse."

Dugu Shaobai thought to himself, since the people around him mentioned Qiao Xia, is this Wang Daqiang's death related to Qiao Xia? If you want to solve the case, even if you can't let go of any clues.

Peach invited Shangguan Yutang to the house, and Peach wiped her tears and served tea to Shangguan Yutang.

"Childe, our family is surrounded by walls, and there is no good tea to entertain you, and I hope Childe will not dislike it."

Shangguan Yutang looked at the cup of green tea in front of him, raised his eyes and smiled at Taohong: "Thank you Miss Taohong." ”

Grandpa Peach on the side hung his head and wiped his tears silently.

"Uncle, can you tell me about Qiaoxia? My eldest brother and I are from the government, and we have all heard about what Wang Bingquan did. Looking at Wang Bingquan's arrogant appearance today, you can also know what kind of person he usually is.

"Alas—" Grandpa Peach sighed, and there was anger, helplessness, and more sadness in this resentment.

"My son and daughter-in-law left early, Qiaoxia is my eldest granddaughter, originally, our grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other, but two years ago, after Wang Bingquan became the mayor of the town......"

Two years ago, Grandpa Peach's eldest granddaughter Qiao Xia was only sixteen years old, and Qiao Xia was a beautiful little girl at that time.

That day, Qiao Xia and Taohong were working in their own tofu stall, and Wang Bingquan's younger brother Wang Daqiang brought a follower to the tofu stall to eat a bully meal.

Qiao Xia stepped forward to ask for silver, but Wang Daqiang took a fancy to him and wanted to take Qiao Xia as a concubine. In the Celestial Empire, women are seventeen and men are eighteen before they can get married, but Qiao Xia was only sixteen years old at that time, and she had not yet reached the age of marriage.

Wang Daqiang saw that he didn't succeed, so he went back and pretended to be sick with his attendant for a few days, but Wang Bingquan personally brought someone to bring Qiaoxia and Taohong into the cell, saying that the tofu flowers they made were not clean, and they had eaten the stomachs of Wang Daqiang and his attendant, and said that they had spent dozens of taels of silver to find a doctor.

This account should be counted on Qiao Xia and Taohong, Wang Bingquan used the excuse that he was the mayor of the town, and he insisted that there was something wrong with their tofu flowers, and Grandpa Taohong had never seen the world, thinking that the biggest in Taoyuan Town was Wang Bingquan, and he cried and begged Wang Bingquan to let him let Qiao Xia and Taohong go.

But Wang Bingquan was indifferent, they asked Grandpa Taohong for medical treatment, Grandpa Taohong has been poor all his life, where can he take out dozens of taels of silver. Wang Daqiang said that if Qiao Xia married him as a concubine, he would not be guilty of the past, and Grandpa Taohong's family could not fight the Wang brothers, and Qiao Xia had no choice but to make compromises.

After Qiao Xia married Wang Daqiang, she washed her face with tears all day long, and was in a trance, Wang Daqiang's main house disliked Qiao Xia for being crazy, so he took it upon himself to send her to Chunxiang Building, and Qiao Xia hanged herself within two months of entering Chunxiang Building.

After saying this, Grandpa Taohong and Taohong were already in tears, Shangguan Yutang looked at the two of them who were extremely sad and didn't know how to comfort them, so let them vent the grief in their hearts.

After half a pillar of incense, after seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Shangguan Yutang continued to ask.

"Grandpa Peach, then do you know, who did Qiaoxia have a good relationship with before?"

The head of the corpse had been cut off in unison, and there were no other external injuries on the body, and the cause of death was supposed to be the severed head, but what was the use of the gold thread found in the wall today? Although such a gold thread is sharp, it should not be possible to cut off the head, after all, there are bones in the neck, and the gold thread can hurt the flesh and skin, and if you want to break the bones, it is unlikely.

But if it is cut with a big knife, Peach is a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, and Grandpa Peach is an old man, and it may be even more difficult for them to swing the big knife and cut off other people's heads.

Taohong sniffed: "My sister has a childhood sweetheart named Zhou Dali, and Brother Dali's sister is as hard as her sister, and she was also sold into Chunxiang Building by Wang Daqiang." ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Grandpa Peach couldn't help but get excited again: "Qiao Xia liked to weave cloth when he was alive, and the thread found next to Wang Daqiang's corpse today may mean that Qiao Xia has come back to take revenge!" My poor Qiaoxia......"

If Zhou Dali's childhood sweetheart Qiaoxia and his sister were sold into the Qinglou, then he and Wang Daqiang can be regarded as having a grudge, but they also have a motive to kill, could it be that Wang Daqiang's death is related to Zhou Dali?

However, the gold thread found next to Wang Daqiang's corpse today was not used for weaving, but for making a hidden weapon, could it be that the murderer deliberately used the gold thread to confuse people's sight, pretending to be Qiao Xia's unjust soul to come back for revenge?

"Grandpa, do you know who the young man in the crowd just now said that Qiao Xia came back for revenge?" Shangguan Yutang remembered that when the golden thread was discovered, a young man said such a sentence in the crowd, and then the people thought that Qiao Xia's unjust soul had come back for revenge.

Grandpa Peach wiped his tears: "That's Zhou Dali's sister's old friend, named Xia Ming, after Zhou Dali's sister went to Chunxiang Building, Xia Ming also went to find her every once in a while." ”
