Chapter 49: Bring Back to the Yamen
Xie Jinlan gave a positive answer: "Not bad! After verification by this official, Li Xiaoya is the real murderer of Li Baoer! ”
Master Chen's eyes widened in disbelief: "This ...... This...... This ......"
Xie Jinlan glanced at Master Chen's book and said, "It's too surprising for this official to know the truth, but that's the truth!" ”
Master Chen suppressed the complexity in his heart, and bowed to Xie Jinlan: "Yes, the next official will receive the order!" ”
It's just that Master Chen had just turned around, and Xie Jinlan called him again: "Wait! ”
Master Chen paused for a moment, turned around and looked at Xie Jinlan: "What else does the lord command?" ”
A trace of hesitation crossed Xie Jinlan's eyes, and then said, "You personally bring people forward." In addition, the real reason for Li Xiaoya's arrest must not be revealed. It was only said that there were several suspicious points in Li Baoer's case, and she needed to be invited to come to the county government to assist in the investigation. ”
Master Chen's face showed a little surprise, but he quickly relented: "Yes, the subordinate official receives the order!" ”
It wasn't until Master Chen walked away that Xie Jinlan looked at Ruan Yezhen on the side.
Seeing her preoccupied, Xie Jinlan just sighed silently, and then walked towards his master bedroom.
Ruan Yezhen hurriedly followed, raised her eyes to look at Xie Jinlan, and looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.
After a while, she finally made up her mind: "Xie Jinlan, according to Daye's law, how will Li Xiaoya be sentenced?" ”
Xie Jinlan shook his head lightly and said honestly: "I'm not familiar with Daye's laws. But it is said that killing pays for life, and if you want to deliberately kill someone, you should have to pay for one life. ”
Ruan Yezhen hung her head in disappointment: "That's it." ”
Xie Jinlan didn't pay attention to it anymore. After walking to the rockery, he instructed the little guy who was cleaning to prepare hot water and carry it to the ear room, and then he continued to walk to the bedroom......
In Lijia Village, the villagers looked at a young man dressed as a scholar, with a few catchers in official uniforms in a hurry, and couldn't help but stop what they were doing and followed curiously.
Seeing that there were more and more villagers following him, Master Chen's eyebrows twisted slightly, but he was helpless against them.
Coming to the door of Li Tiezhu's house, Master Chen settled down, and then raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
The door was slowly opened, and when he saw the catcher standing outside the door, Chen's body shook, and his face suddenly showed a look of horror: "Is there something wrong with the officials?" ”
After Mr. Chen explained his intentions, Mr. Chen turned sideways and pointed in the direction of the backyard: "Everyone is having lunch in the kitchen." ”
Master Chen bowed his head slightly towards Chen, and then walked to the backyard with the catcher.
Seeing the lively villagers pushing each other, they also walked in.
Seeing that so many people suddenly broke into the house, Zhang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and immediately put down his face: "What are you doing noisy?" Don't let people eat? ”
Master Chen once again explained his intentions.
Zhang instantly glared at Li Xiaoya, raised his hand to poke her head, and scolded in his mouth:
"Good girl! Lose money! What do you know? Did you deliberately not say it before, wanting to shield the murderer? A white-eyed wolf! Cheap girl! Do you see that I love Bao'er on weekdays, so I want Bao'er to die without turning a blind eye......"
Just talking about it was not enough, Zhang casually took the wooden stick that burned the fire in the kitchen and hit Li Xiaoya directly.
The onlookers suddenly let out a low cry.
Fortunately, one of them caught the other end of the stick with a quick eye.
Master Chen looked at Zhang very seriously:
"Aunt Li, we just asked Li Xiaoya to go to the county government to assist in the investigation. If you continue to talk like this, I am afraid that this master will cure you of the crime of slandering others, and please go to prison for a few days! ”
Zhang instantly let go of the wooden stick in his hand, sat directly on the ground, kept kicking his legs, beating his chest again and again, and kept shouting in his mouth:
"Come and take a look, folks, I'll teach my granddaughter a lesson, these officials are going to arrest me and go to jail! Is there any royal law here......"
Yi Zhu quickly approached Master Chen, and said in a low voice: "Master Chen, this woman is very difficult, let's not talk to her too much, and quickly take Li Xiaoya back to the yamen to restore her life." ”
Seeing the whispering of the villagers around him, then looking at Zhang's posture of making up his mind to play tricks to the end, and then at the two young couples with different expressions standing behind Zhang.
Master Chen bowed his head slightly, agreeing with Na Kuai's opinion.
After Chen Zhushu and others left with Li Xiaoya, the villagers also walked out of the gate of Li Tiezhu's house together.
Along the way, they talked about it:
"Xiaoya, this kid has been working all day, what can you know?"
"That's not what I said, maybe the little girl really saw something?"
"If she really saw something, why didn't she say it? Could it be that it was really deliberate, as the iron pillar mother said? ”
"Xiaoya, that child grew up watching the big guys, is she that kind of person?"
"Not really."
"In my opinion, Xiaoya's child is eighty percent afraid to say it."
"What don't you dare to say?"
"You're stupid, you don't look at who that family is, if you're a little girl, do you dare to say it?"
......
As early as after Chen Zhushu and the others and the villagers went out of the gate, Zhang asked Chen to close the door and continue to eat as if nothing happened.
With food stuffed in his mouth, Zhang's complained dissatisfiedly: "It's all to blame for Xiaoya's damn money-losing goods, delaying so much effort, the food is cold." ”
Lin immediately nodded and agreed: "That's it, that dead girl will cause trouble for the family." ”
Li Tiegen has long been accustomed to the two of them like this, taking care of himself and picking up rice in his mouth, and he has not been affected at all.
Chen hung his head and took small sips of rice into his mouth, as if he was a little absent-minded.
Only Li Tiezhu looked at Lin with an angry expression:
"Brother and sister, no matter how you say it, Xiaoya is your own niece. She is still so young, and now she is taken to the yamen for questioning alone, and she doesn't know if she will be afraid. You're still saying these cool things here! ”
Immediately, he looked at Zhang again: "Mother, and you!" Beating and scolding the little girl like that on weekdays, I think that you are my mother, and I can only turn a blind eye. But until now, you're still blaming Xiaoya! ”
When the words fell, he slapped his chopsticks on the table and dropped a sentence: "I'm full!" ”
Without waiting for any reaction, he got up and left the kitchen.
A man who has always been an honest man on weekdays will still have a certain impact once he starts a fire.
Everyone's movements stopped in unison, except for Chen, who had been keeping his head down, the other three looked at each other.
Zhang, who came back to his senses, felt that he had been disgraced by his son, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed:
"This kid is the opposite, he dares to talk to me like this! Is there still me in my eyes! ”
Lin was also very uncomfortable by Zhang Tiezhu's words, and said in a weird way:
"Big brother is really, I didn't see how sad he was when Bao'er died. Xiaoya was just taken to the yamen at this time, and he was so angry. This daughter and nephew are always separated by a layer. ”
