Chapter 31: The Martyr Girl of Xianghe County (15)
Mai Xian Ling closed the door tightly and looked at Mrs. Mai curled up in the corner of the bed: "Why are you doing this?" Lord Qincha is in the front yard, and he sees the clues when he makes a fuss, what should we do? ”
"What can I do? Cold. ”
Mrs. Mai sneered: "I have been married to you for ten years, you came to ask me today how Sister Xianglian died, it turns out that you have never believed me, or you have moved the heart of a concubine, or you dislike me, then give me a letter of resignation and tell me to go to court." ”
"What did my wife say, I only had you in my heart all these years, and I never thought about taking a concubine, let alone divorced you." Mai Xianling took a step forward and sat at the head of the bed, reaching out to pull his wife's arm, "Come, come to me, let's talk." ”
Mrs. Mai moved forward, and Mr. Mai pulled her into his arms with a little force, rubbed his wife's hair bun and whispered, "Why can't you think about it so much, if you really have a three-long ...... What, what should I do? ”
"It's because you don't believe me, ask me about Sister Xianglian, it's been so many years, and you still take it out and talk about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, what do you mean?" Mrs. Mak's hand ran over the bridge of her husband's nose and pressed it lightly, "It's disgusting, you still don't believe me." ”
"I was just asked by Lord Chincha, and he said......"
Mai Xianling thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you told you, I'm afraid it will scare you." ”
"Our old husband and wife have been for so many years, when do you see when I have been scared, our life in the past was not very good, who did I come to usher in the send-off?"
Mrs. Mai performed the trick of crying, making trouble and hanging herself very elegantly, and gave the face of Mai County's order outside, so that he was embarrassed to talk to herself about Xianglian in depth, she was well versed in the truth of slapping a sweet date, relying on her husband, her little hands on his face, his body roamed, and his mouth said: "I only have you, if you doubt me, I really can't live." ”
"It's nothing to tell you, I suspect that someone is behind the ghost, I just woke up, think about it carefully, I really can't remember who I have offended over the years, and I want to be embarrassed by the hand of Qincha."
"What about Lord Chincha, what did he say?"
He painted a picture, well, it can't be said to be a painting, it's pitch black, like a big baked cake, he said that the painting is a woman, there is a red cinnabar mole at the corner of her mouth, and he also said that the woman hanged herself, no, not by hanging, she was strangled and hanged, just like Guo Niangzi. He also asked me why there were no injuries on Guo Niangzi's body, and no traces of poisoning, and how she was hung on the beam of the house in such a situation. All this is very similar to Xianglian's ...... back then"
Mrs. Mai wrapped her arms tightly around her husband's waist: "Really, Sister Xianglian was like this back then...... Isn't the one who died hanged himself, but was given by his mother...... Oh my God, the old bustard, she actually attacked Sister Xianglian. ”
Mai Xian Ling nodded again and again: "Yes, it must have been done by that vicious woman, she has always been dissatisfied with Xianglian, and when she learned that I could ransom Xianglian out, she was resentful and poisoned." ”
"Then what should we do, we will go to Suzhou to settle accounts with that woman?"
Mrs. Mak's big clear eyes flickered, she was about to be thirty years old, she was still beautiful and slender, and her innocent look was particularly attractive.
"When I have the opportunity, I must go to Suzhou."
Mai Xianling clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind.
The husband and wife sorted out some home-cooked food and ate again, and Mrs. Mai said: "It's all my fault, it's like this, let Lord Qincha laugh, you go to the post station to have a look, don't let Lord Qincha annoy you, originally there was a thief of the Heavenly Saint Sect in our county, if Lord Qincha holds on to it, what can you do if you are guilty of negligence?" ”
Mai Xianling thought for a while, got up and said: "It's really my virtuous help, I'll come when I go, my wife has a good rest, don't think about those who have or don't, I believe in you, it's all the old bustard's evil." ”
Mai Xian Ling strode out of the county office, and the master behind him took a few steps and reported: "Master, Lord Qincha asked for three tables of wine and food in Desheng Building, and it was in the name of the master. ”
Mai Xianling nodded, and the master asked again: "My lord, I went to the post station to go this way." ”
"Don't go to the post station, you quickly go and pass the book, and then bring two soap officials to Guo's house with me."
The master was shocked: "Master, Mrs. Guo's corpse has been experienced, and now the case is closed, why do you want to go to Guo's house?" ”
"If you are told to go, you will go, and you will not be verbose."
Mai Xian Ling took people into Guo's house, just entered the yard and listened to the crying inside, the adults cried and the children screamed, the voice was hoarse, it turned out that the second elder of the Guo family came home and thought of the son who didn't know where he died, thought of the daughter-in-law who was killed by the gangsters, and then looked at the young grandson, and cried from the heart. I really knew why I had to do it in the first place.
"Master ......" saw that the county order was coming, and the second elder of the Guo family was like a frightened bird, so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Get up, I'm taking someone to check Guo Niangzi's body, it has nothing to do with you."
When Mrs. Guo heard that the body was going to be examined, she hurriedly hid in the back room with her grandson.
Old man Guo was helpless, so he could only lead to the shed on the side: "Master, my daughter-in-law's coffin is here." ”
It was supposed to be a funeral today, but the coffin had been nailed shut. If it is usual, the nailed coffin is opened, the main family is not desperate, and the second elder of the Guo family has a ghost in his heart, and he does not dare to say anything.
The officials lifted the lid of the coffin, and a strong rancid smell came to their faces.
Everyone present covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, looked down, and said in surprise: "Hey, master, this corpse has changed." ”
Mai Xianling looked over and saw that Guo Niangzi's face was dead and gray, and there were two blood marks under her nose.
"That's weird, there was no blood before, how did this blood come from."
He stretched out his hand and pressed Guo Niangzi's stomach, and said to himself: "Could it be caused by the gas produced by the decay of the corpse?" ”
Mai Xianling looked at the blood marks under Guo Niangzi's nose, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "Shave Guo Niangzi's hair and check the location of the fontanelle." ”
Old man Guo must tell his daughter-in-law to shave her hair, so he knelt down and cried: "Master, the parents of the body hair and skin can't shave their hair." ”
"Hmph, you let the fake Guo Si kill and sell herself to support your daughter-in-law, and now you are still pretending to come to this set, and someone will pull him away."
He took out a razor from his small wooden box and carefully shaved Guo Niangzi's hair little by little. "Master, here...... Here's something! ”
He pointed to Guo Niangzi's head and was shocked.
"Take it out and see...... Is it a nail! ”
The clamp clamped the foreign object at the fontanelle of the deceased: "Master Yingming, it's really a nail, a bamboo nail!" ”
Mai Xianling closed his eyes, and his face showed relief: "I know, Guo Niangzi was nailed into the fontanelle when she was asleep, and hung on the beam of the house after falling into a coma. ”
"Master Wise!"
The officials were convinced.
There was no joy on Mai Xianling's face, only a deep ...... Sorrowful.
