Chapter 22 Paying for Life

The case of Ge Fangniang's murder has become the biggest case in Lingjiang Town in recent years, and after the autopsy, it was only concluded that he killed him, and Jiang Yucheng tried his best to investigate the case, but did not find a few useful clues.

And Jiang's mother also fell ill due to Ge Fangniang's death, Leng Ruru moved from the He family to take care of her, and asked him when Jiang Yucheng came back: "Cousin, will there really be trouble on the Ge family's side?" ”

Jiang Yucheng sneered, "The maiden family of a vassal king's concubine, their hands can't reach so long. ”

Hearing him say this, Leng Ruru breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it didn't affect her cousin's career, she was not afraid of anything. After all, her current dependence is on her cousin, as long as her cousin is well, she will have confidence in the He family.

So he smiled and said, "You're tired for a day, let's go and rest for a while, I'll go to Yan Niang's to pick up Changsheng." ”

Jiang Yucheng said: "Mother still needs you to watch here, I'll pick it up for longevity." ”

Yan Niang's house, He Changsheng was playing tangram with Manman, in fact, it was Manman, and he was watching from the side. When Jiang Yucheng came to pick him up, he was full of reluctance to let him go, and he didn't let him go.

Yan Niang comforted her daughter softly: "It's time for my brother to go home, can I play with my brother tomorrow?" ”

Full of pouting, he said pitifully: "But I still want to play with Brother Changsheng today." ”

Yan Niang shook her head and said no.

Man Man had to be disappointed to see his elder brother leave.

Because he couldn't keep Brother Changsheng, Manman refused to pay attention to Yan Niang until before eating, and Haitang felt strange when she came back, and Yan Niang told her what had just happened.

After speaking, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect this little big person to be angry, and I don't know where I learned it." ”

Haitang hugged Manman, "The girl's family still has to be tougher, so as not to be bullied." Saying that, he kissed the little face full of people, "If Changsheng has a strong body, it would be good to be full of us." ”

Yan Niang glanced at her reproachfully, "Don't talk nonsense, how old is Manman, Changsheng is nine years old." ”

Haitang disagreed, "It's good to be older, and it's painful to be older." ”

Yan Niang had no choice but to shake her head helplessly.

When she slept well at night, Yan Niang pulled Haitang and asked, "You are sixteen years old in a flash, and it is time to find your mother-in-law's house, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Haitang frowned and said: "I don't want to get married, what's the good thing about marrying, not only to give birth to children for him, but also to serve his whole family, if I don't do anything well, I will be scolded by my mother-in-law, I don't want to live like that." ”

"Let's wipe our eyes and don't marry such a person." Yan Niang said softly.

Haitang is still unwilling, "Sister, you don't care about me, I like the current life, and I don't want to become constrained after getting married." ”

Yan Niang sighed worriedly, Haitang's temperament is too stubborn, and she refuses to listen to anyone who advises her. The Yun family also said many times about letting her get married, and Haitang dealt with things with various reasons every time, but if she was not her own mother, the Yun family would no longer care.

For this matter, Yan Niang tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well, and she was a little listless on the second day. When the black lady came to visit the door, she saw at a glance that her eyes were dark and green.

"Yan Niang, what did you do last night?" The black lady exclaimed.

Yan Niang greeted her with a smile, "Hey, it's just some troublesome things." ”

She didn't plan to tell Wu Niangzi about Haitang, so Wu Niangzi didn't ask. She has a business with Yan Niang today, a few days ago, the shopkeeper Qi received a screen, but was accidentally poked by the guy Wang'er with a hole the thickness of a thumb, Wu Niangzi thought that Yan Niang had good craftsmanship, so she wanted to ask her to help repair it.

Seeing that Yan Niang didn't agree immediately, she said again: "I won't let you work in vain." ”

Yan Niang explained: "It's not because of the money, I'm afraid that the repair will not be good, and you and the shopkeeper Qi will be disappointed." ”

When Wu Niangzi heard this, "What else should I do, your skills are so good, you will definitely be able to do it." Seeing that Yan Niang was still hesitating, she said again: "Even if you don't make it up, it doesn't matter, I won't blame you." ”

Since she has said this, Yan Niang had no choice but to agree.

After getting down to business, Wu Niangzi had the leisure to chatter, she said: "Two days ago, we went to Caomiao Village to collect embroidery, and when we passed by Wen Jialiang, we encountered a strange thing. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to you for help. ”

Yan Niang asked her what was strange, and Wu Niangzi said in a low voice: "Caomiao Village is far away, we went to the house early in the morning, but we didn't know that we were delayed by the rain halfway, so we went to Caomiao Village in the afternoon." It was almost dark when he walked back after collecting the embroidery, and when he and Wang'er passed by Wen Jialiang, they vaguely heard a woman crying.

"We are in charge of the family and Wang'er boldly walked forward, walked two steps, the cry stopped again, they thought they heard it wrong, but when they went further, they saw five meters away I don't know when a fire was lit, a woman in white with a cloak was kneeling to burn paper, crying while burning, what to say, the little slut is dead, the mother has avenged you, you can go to reincarnation with peace of mind.

Wang'er was timid, threw the embroidery and was about to run, was pulled by our master, poked a hole in the embroidery when he struggled, and when he stabilized Wang'er, and then looked forward, there was no half of the figure, not even Mars, if it wasn't for the faint crying, they thought they were dazzled. It's dark and it's a wilderness, not to mention how much it seeps into people, our head of the house was so scared that his legs were weak, and Wang'er's unproductive one was directly scared to pee his pants. ”

Wu Niangzi spoke vividly, and Yan Niang only felt a chill in her back. In her opinion, the shopkeeper Qi is too bold, if she encounters this incident, she will be scared and faint.

After the black lady left, she always felt that some of the rooms were cold, and it seemed that the next moment those frightening things would come out of the corner, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She took her daughter who was still sleeping and went to the Yun family's house next door, and the Yun family was about to visit Jiang's mother, and Yan Niang also went with her.

Jiang's mother's illness has not improved, Yun persuaded her to relax, it was okay not to persuade her, and once she persuaded her, her tears were like beads with broken threads. Heart disease needs heart medicine, if the murderer of Ge Fangniang is not found for a day, Jiang's mother's heart knot will not be untied, even if it is a panacea, it will not play a big role.

In order not to let Jiang's mother think wildly, Yun told a few stories to attract her attention. Mother Jiang listened attentively, so she didn't have the heart to think about sad things.

Seeing that this idea worked, Yan Niang couldn't help but tell the strange thing she heard from Wu Niangzi, she didn't talk as vividly as Wu Niangzi, but it also made the Yun family afraid.

"My mother, is that woman a human or a ghost?" Leng Ruru stroked her chest and exhaled: "Who is hanging out in the middle of the night and still doing such an infiltrating thing." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yucheng's voice was heard: "What is a human being or a ghost, what is my cousin talking about?" ”

Not only Leng Ruru was startled at this time, but even Yan Niang was taken aback, Leng Ruru glared at him, "Why don't you make a sound when you walk, you're almost scared to death." ”

Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to apologize: "It's all my fault, and please don't blame my cousin." ”

Leng Ruru snorted and said no more.

Jiang Yucheng asked about the strange thing they just said, Leng Ruru poured beans and retold it to him, after listening, Jiang Yucheng frowned and looked at Yan Niang, "Where did Nie Niangzi hear this story?" ”

Yan Niang said truthfully, Jiang Yucheng pondered for a while, and suddenly walked towards the door, and almost fell down when he crossed the threshold. Looking at his distant back, Leng Ruru muttered: "Where is the wind and fire like a county master." ”

A few days later, when Yan Niang went to Jiang's house again, she heard that the murderer of Ge Fangniang had finally been found, and it was none other than her aunt Fang's who had killed her.

Ge Fangniang often went to live outside the house when she was young, and Fang's youngest son Yu Sanbao was a childhood sweetheart, and her cousins had a very good relationship, and Fang's also proposed to her sister-in-law to kiss and kiss, but who knew that Ge Xiucai's mother did not agree, so the matter was settled.

In order to separate her daughter from her nephew, Ge Xiucai's wife took Ge Fangniang back to Lingjiang Town. Yu Sanbao missed his cousin, so he secretly went to the town to look for her, but when he passed by Wen Jialiang, he accidentally fell to his death, and Fang was stimulated to become ill, and hated his sister-in-law and niece.

Because of the death of Yu Sanbao, Ge Xiucai's wife and her mother's family gradually separated, originally with the help of her mother's family, Ge Xiucai's family could still eat a full meal every day, and then her mother's family didn't care, and the family's life became sad all of a sudden. Jiang's mother asked the matchmaker to come to the door to propose, and Ge Xiucai agreed without much hesitation.

Although Jiang Yucheng has the reputation of being a wife, he is the magistrate of Yucheng County, as long as his daughter becomes the magistrate of the county, will he and the Ge family still have less benefits? He happily sent his daughter to the sedan chair, but he didn't expect to die tragically on the way.

The Ge family and the Jiang family are both in the town, not far from each other, in order to be able to enter the door at the auspicious time, the sedan chair man has to carry the sedan chair around Lingjiang Town when picking up relatives. In ancient times, Lingjiang Town had the custom that the sedan chair could not touch the ground before the husband's house, if the sedan chair fell to the ground in front of the husband's house, it was necessary to take the bride to walk around the sedan chair three times, and then the bride could be lifted on the sedan chair by the uncle himself to eliminate the bad luck.

But it just so happened that the Ge family sedan chair had just been carried out of the door, and I don't know where a mad dog rushed out, which frightened the sedan chair drivers in a panic, and the sedan chair also fell to the ground when avoiding the bite of the mad dog. There was no way, Ge Xiucai's wife had to beg her sister-in-law for help.

After the three treasures were gone, the Fang family rarely interacted with the sister-in-law. Later, Ge Fangniang promised someone, Ge Fangniang's grandmother forced her daughter-in-law to reconcile with her daughter, although the Fang family was resentful, she could not disobey her mother-in-law's orders, and Ge Yu and the two families moved around again.

When Ge Fangniang got married, the people in the Yu family were also there, so after the sedan chair landed, the first thing that Ge Xiucai's mother thought of was Fang's. She didn't know that all of this was deliberate by the Fang family. Mad Dog was found by her, so that she could take this opportunity to avenge her son Yu Sanbao.

So when she was escorted to the court, she confessed without the slightest resistance. Jiang Yucheng looked at the woman in the hall who looked like ashes, and said, "Yu Dabao and Yu Eryan are also your children, haven't you thought about them?" ”

Fang said indifferently: "The Three Treasures are my lifeblood, my lifeblood is gone, I don't care what other people do." Those two wolf-hearted things, Ge Fangniang killed their own brother, they were good, but they went to curry favor with that little slut. ”

"The official learned that your son fell to his death by himself and has nothing to do with Ge Fangniang." Jiang Yucheng frowned.

Hearing this, Fang's eyes suddenly burst out with resentment and madness: "It's her, my son was killed by her, if it wasn't for that little slut to let Sanbao go to her, Sanbao wouldn't have died, it's all her, it's all her fault."

Why is my Sanbao buried alone in the cold and dark ground to suffer, but she can happily marry you as the county lady, my Sanbao is the most afraid of cold and dark, I want the little slut to go down to accompany him, I want her to pay for my son's life. ”

The last few words Fang Shi almost shouted out of his throat, and he couldn't cry anymore after shouting.

Jiang Yucheng shook his head, he didn't want to continue asking, and ordered someone to take her into custody, and after he reported the case to the Criminal Department, Fang was sentenced to death, and he would be beheaded after next autumn.

After learning about the ending of the Fang family, Ge Xiucai and his wife hugged their heads and cried for a long time, the Fang family deserved it, but their daughter died unjustly. On the Yu family's side, after the Fang family was sentenced to death, the old lady of the Yu family asked her son to divorce the Fang family.
