Chapter 116: Amorous Scholar
Pan Jing hurried all the way to the inn, and the outside was already full of people, and the two officials at the door were maintaining order.
He struggled to squeeze through the crowd, hoping that things were not what he thought they would be, and that his Mei'er was still alive.
"What are you doing, go out, the yamen will do something, and the rest of the idle people will not come close." When the yacha saw that someone had broken through, he was a scholar, so he just lectured him.
Pan Jing was so anxious that he didn't care about any etiquette, so he asked directly: "Poor master, the person lying on the ground inside is really a lady, and he is a lady who lives in the 'Kun' room?" ”
"That's right. You know so well, why, do you know? The official hesitated to see if he was the murderer in this case.
After getting the conviction, Pan Jing spun around for a while, and almost fainted to the ground, but fortunately he was helped by the yacha.
"Nephew, why are you here?" When the county heard that a major murder case had occurred in the county under his jurisdiction, he put aside the trivial matters in the yamen, tried it again at a later date, and began to deal with the matter in front of him first. As soon as he entered the lobby of the inn, he saw that the descendant he valued most was talking to the people under him.
Pan Jing was dizzy, he didn't know where he was, he looked around, there was silence around him, and the mouths of those people opened and closed to emit silent language.
Liu Niangzi! Where the hell are you?
After Pan Jing finished saying this, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what was going on.
When Pan Jing woke up, he stared at the blue and white bed tent above his head, and was stunned for a while, only to realize that this was not his familiar home, nor was it the dormitory in the academy.
A few vague words came in from outside.
Li Xianling was reprimanding his eldest son for not studying well, and he actually abducted his favorite offspring to drink and write poems in a flower building. You can't compose poems there, so you have to run to a filthy place like Hualou, and there is an elegant collection in the east of the city, isn't it a good place for literati and students to write poems!
"Father, my son is wrong, I dare not have a next time." Li Dongjun knelt on the ground and received his father's criticism.
Several of them drank and wrote poems many times, and they also called a few wine ladies to accompany them, but nothing happened. But this time, something happened to the one that this nerd fancied, so they couldn't get out of it.
Alas! The passing year is not good. A good beautiful lady with excellent talent died like this, and I don't know if it was the hand of that ruthless person, who couldn't get along with a weak woman.
When the scholar came back with hot tea, he saw that his son-in-law had woken up, so he was busy outside to say goodbye.
There were two other people who entered the house with Xiao Tong, and he knew these two people, one was the county lord, and the other was his friend. Other people may not be able to see the county lord all year round, Pan Jing is different, on the day of the fifth day of the month, he has to go to the county lord to accept the county lord's examination of his homework.
"How is the virtuous nephew?" The county lord personally helped him up.
Pan Jing wanted to get up and salute the county honor, but the county zun held him down, so he had to say: "Please forgive the students for being rude, what happened today, why are the students here with the teacher?" ”
"This matter is a long story, I won't talk about it for the time being, I just ask you, how much do you know about Liu Meier's death? Or does she usually have a family of enemies? The county asked. There has been no homicide in Jiangfeng County for three years, and as soon as he came up, he was given a big one, and three lives were lost at once.
Pan Jing gradually recalled what happened in the morning, only to feel that his head was dizzy, and he was about to faint.
He was stunned, and the county didn't urge, his parents didn't interject when they saw that the county was asking. At this time, there is some hatred for the stupid son, and because the county is here, the two have to restrain their tempers, go back and teach him a lesson, and don't have anything to do with the murder.
"Liu Niangzi died, how did he die, where are those two girls now?" Pan Jing muttered. He arranged everything, and when he was resting for the day, he went and put the people in the house. Something has become like this before it has time to do it.
"They are all dead, and they can't even shout with a knife." This is the difficulty of the county, there are so many business trips coming and going in the county every day, even it is difficult to check them one by one. The three of them did it last night, and it is inevitable that the motives of acquaintances to commit the crime cannot be ruled out.
It is extremely difficult to say that three single women, who live in an inn, and do it to three people without alarming others, if they are not acquaintances, it is extremely difficult to do this.
Mother Lu in the flower building had already been summoned to ask once in the morning, and there was no major stake in the case between the words, so she let the person out.
Other people who are familiar with her have also called the county government one by one to ask, and there are no clues, and they all shirk without knowing, and the rest can be called to start from Pan Jing, who ransomed her. Wouldn't it be worse if he didn't know it again? Before the case is clear, the county will not casually slander a person as a stand-in.
Moreover, Pan Jing's classmates, his master and his own son, his parents and servants all proved that Pan Jing had not done anything abnormal in the past few days, and he had not acted alone, which had little to do with this case.
I came to ask him this time, just to get other information about the case.
Pan Jing shook his head, "I have only met Liu Niangzi twice, once when I drank and wrote poems with my second friend, and once when I went to redeem her. I don't know much about her past life, I only know that she is a lady from an official family, and she was left out after the defeat of her family, making a living by laughing. As for whether she usually has a grudge against anyone, the students really don't know. ”
There is no solution to this case, and people who know Liu Niangzi only say that she only came here a year ago, and as for the rest, there is no verification at all, and he has sent someone to lead her to her place to investigate.
According to the report, the fatal injuries of the three were the work of one person, and this person was a kung fu master.
Liu Niangzi is from the north and is taller than the girls in the south, about five feet (1.6m), and slightly taller than the average man in the county. The murderer can be fatal with a knife from the back, and his height is only high.
The county even thought of this, and went door to door to find tall people and ask what they were doing at that time. Especially those blacksmith shops, craftsmen make a living by striking iron and steel, and they can't do it without the strength of their lives.
Even the origin of the two girls has been asked clearly, they are all people under the jurisdiction of this county, they are well-founded, there is no feud in them, and they will not attract the covetousness of others.
The county respected Pan Jing's words and sighed: "For now, I have thought of everything that should be thought of, and I just need to wait for the person sent to investigate to come back and restore my life." I'm afraid it's not good if it's an unsolved case. ”
Pan Jing was immersed in the heartache of losing his beauty, like a talented and beautiful person, after being taken out of the flower building by him, he encountered an unforeseen situation.
It's more to blame him, if he doesn't pick up the beauty, maybe the beauty won't leave him in this way.
Seeing that his favorite student was so decadent for a woman who had only seen two faces, the county respected him and said angrily: "Virtuous nephew, what do you mean by the way you look, a woman will make you disheartened, what should you do if there is a dispute in the officialdom in his day!" ”
Pan Jing was not frightened by the county's loud shouts, and his father also blamed him.
In the end, he is a person who has not experienced major events, even if he was taught a lesson by the two, Pan Jing did not change his declining situation, and he kept blaming himself in his heart.
