Chapter 7 Waiting for the Fall

Shen Weijing sent her two sons back to the inn to pick up Mrs. Shen and Shen Yunwei to Tian Shipei's official residence.

Tian Shipei set up a table in the official residence, and at this moment, he was sitting around the table with the Shen family.

The dishes on the table are simple and simple, and only one plum blossom soup cake is very good. Shen Yunwei also felt that this vegetarian food with plum blossom style was interesting.

After staying in this mansion for a long time, Shen Weijing had already seen that Tian Shipei was a two-sleeved and informal person, and looked at the plum blossom soup cake and said with a smile: "Brother Leishan, this dish looks very interesting."

"This is made at home, she heard that those literati and like to make some elegant things, and also learned some fur, with white plum and sandalwood to soak this fragrant soup and noodles, and then make this dough into the shape of plum blossoms, saying that it is interesting to eat."

Tian Shipei's face was a little ruddy, and he said with a smile:

"Actually, in my opinion, isn't this just a simple noodle soup, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, I see her hard work, although this craft is not on the table, but I can't bear to waste it, so I will give it to Brother Feng Yan to taste."

It seems that Lord Tian's wife is a woman with far-reaching interests, Shen Yunwei thought so.

"Brother Leishan, don't be too humble, it's enough to have a good wife," Shen Weijing took the wine and said:

"This Fenghuang wine really lives up to its name, the wine has a mellow taste, fresh and sweet and refreshing."

"Hahaha, Feng Yan, you are a good taste" Tian Shipei added some wine to the cup, paused and said:

"But in my case today, the suspect Hua Lianhong's mother Lin, used to be a famous corner in Langxi County."

"Oh? I see that the person in the hall today is also born with an innocent face, and it seems that the son inherits the mother's business and has also done something, but how could this little guy get involved in this murder case? ”

"Hey, it's a long story, it's a long story."

"I'd like to hear about this" Shen Weijing ignited her curiosity, which was also in line with Shen Yunwei's intentions.

Tian Shipei drank all the wine in the cup, paused and said:

"The deceased in this murder is Yin Shijia, the owner of the Fulai Restaurant in this county, and behind the Fulai Restaurant is his own inner courtyard."

"This Yin Shijia rarely goes out on weekdays, the business of the restaurant is not bad, and people who go to drink often don't leave until midnight, so this Yin Shijia will appear in the restaurant almost every day to thank customers."

"Last night, Boss Xue of the county's silk village went to his restaurant to drink, and wanted to ask this Yin Shijia to come out and drink two cups together, so he sent the shopkeeper to the backyard to call people, and the shopkeeper only saw someone standing under the backyard porch with Yin Shijia, as if arguing about something, so he didn't step forward, and shouted from three feet away, and the boss Yin replied that he would come later."

"Who knew that this Boss Xue waited until the time, but no one came, and asked the shopkeeper to look, but the shopkeeper went to the backyard and saw a person lying in the courtyard, it was Yin Shijia. This Yin Shijia has a knife on his back, his chest is stained red, and his whole body is covered with blood, and he is no longer angry, so he came to report the case."

"I also asked the shopkeeper about it, and the shopkeeper only said that the person who quarreled with Yin Shijia was very much like the flower ripple red who played the pony lantern in Taoyuan"

"But this flower ripple red is none other than the son of my county's head catcher flower like the sea"

"Lin Ying'er, the wife of this flowery sea, used to be a famous horn in the East Market, this son must have followed his mother, he looks good-eyed, and he is more handsome than what is written in the book when he dresses up as Jiang Wei, and now his reputation in Taoyuan is much louder than his mother's back then, I'm afraid there is no one in the county who doesn't recognize him."

Hearing this, Shen Weijing asked: "Since this Hua Ruhai is a head catcher, how can he be willing to let his son be a playmaker?" ”

"Hey, I can't help my dad when I'm older, I can't help it if I don't want to. Presumably, Hua Ruhai thinks about this every time he thinks about it, and he is not very happy, so he often stays in the yamen class room, and he doesn't even go home much."

"I see, then this case ......"

"Hey, no, there was a group of ticket holders who could prove that Hua Lianhong was singing last night, but no one saw Yun Yixian's nephew, Yun Yixian's nephew has a raw face, and his age and body shape are similar to Hua Lianhong, isn't this a misunderstanding" Tian Shipei smiled awkwardly and said.

******

"Bang Bang Bang"

Suddenly there was a drum beat in the lobby.

"Huh? Who beats the drums? ”

"My lord, it's a sea of flowers," a duty officer came from outside the door and replied.

"What is he doing at this time?" Although Tian Shipei had doubts, he still stood up hurriedly and said:

"Brother Feng Yan, the hospitality is not good, according to the routine, if there are people beating the Dengwen drum, it must be accepted, I will go back when I go"

"Don't say more, I'm okay here, official business matters! Let's go."

Shen Yun watched Master Tian out of the inner courtyard, but he was curious about this case.

Although the testimony of the shopkeeper was very unfavorable to Hua Lianhong, the third brother had already proved that Hua Lianhong could not have the opportunity to commit the crime. Now that the suspicion has been cleared, why does his father Hua Ruhai come to play drums late at night? Shouldn't ordinary people avoid it?

******

Tian Shipei put on his official uniform, put on his official hat, and walked into the lobby. Before he could sit down, he saw a person kneeling in the hall.

"Flowers are like a sea, what are you doing with drumming late at night?"

"My lord, the villain is surrendered" It was Hua Ruhai who was kneeling, with a sturdy figure, wearing a gray linen civilian clothes, with a calm and calm face at the moment.

"Turn yourself in?"

"Yes, Yin Shijia was killed by a villain"

"What? It's you? ”

"Yes, it's the villain! I used the boning knife at home, and I also brought the knife," Hua Ruhai said, picking up the boning knife next to him and handing it to the official who came up to take the knife.

"Your Excellency, it is in line with the wound of the deceased" The official compared the knife marks and came up to report the knife again.

When Tian Shipei heard this, he was immediately furious, and asked loudly: "Hua Ruhai, why did you kill Yin Shijia?" ”

Hua Ruhai said unhurriedly:

"Lord Hui, you also know that my son Lianhong is singing in Taoyuan"

"Hong'er is simple-hearted, and was called by Yin Shijia yesterday night in the name of singing for the restaurant, but in fact, Yin Shijia wanted to take the opportunity to do dirty things, Hong'er didn't comply, and there was a dispute at the time in a rage, and then left angrily"

"Hong'er met me on the way back to Taoyuan, and I saw that his hair was scattered and in a hurry, so I questioned him again and again before telling me. When I heard this, I was naturally furious, and when I went home, I picked this handy knife, and threatened to kill the dog thief! ”

"I took a knife and sneaked into the backyard of Fulai Restaurant at night, and when I saw the guy standing under the porch, I attacked from behind and stabbed him down, and he fell to the ground at that time, and he died with a whimper!"

The flowers are like a sea, and the eyes are shining, as if the murderous picture is vivid.

"Flowers are like a sea! You! As the head catcher of the Yamen, you have been handling cases with me for so many years, but you know the law and break the law! You...... You let me say what you are good about! Tian Shipei was angry and hateful, stood up and raised his hand to point at Hua Ruhai, so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Who knew that my son was almost imprisoned because of me, so after thinking about it, I decided to turn myself in and pay for my life since ancient times! I also hope that the adults will keep a whole corpse for the villain for the sake of the little one who has followed the adult for many years, thank you! ”

"The law is strict, how can you be so confused! If that Yin Shijia really has any bad intentions, you should come and tell me! Even if you love your son, you can't kill someone in private! Now I can't help you even if I want to! ”

Tian Shi Pei's direct shooting of the case, I really can't bear to watch my subordinates go to prison for many years.

Hua Ruhai indifferently put it away, and said:

"My son loves to sing, so let him sing, but I can't let people insult him, I'm going to make an example!"

Hua Ruhai still has no repentance, Tian Shipei was heartbroken, flicked his sleeves and said:

"You...... Someone's coming! Hold the flowers like a sea! Wait for the fall! ”
