Zhuang Rou immediately went over to check and found that the girl's head was crushed by the carriage, and there was a big hole in her head, and the blood could not be stopped at all. The clothes bear the marks of wheels and horses' hooves, and the body is supposed to have been trampled on.

She squatted down and stretched out her hand to probe the girl's nostrils, but she didn't breathe, and then saw that her pupils had dilated, her heartbeat was even more early, and she was dead.

"My beloved horse!" At this moment, there was a cry behind him, and the coachman, who had fallen on crutches, helped out a young man from the overturned carriage, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise when he saw his horse being disemboweled.

Zhuang Rou glanced back at him, and saw that this brocade dress should be a rich man, and it is indeed a good goal, but he loves money too much if he gives away his life.

As soon as she wanted to walk over, several people rushed from the crowd, threw herself on her knees, and cried around the girl, "My son, what's wrong with you! ”

"Bao'er! Hurry up and open your eyes to see your mother, why didn't God open your eyes, let you have this happen, how can I live! ”

"Oh my God! Why don't you take away the old body, but let her die under this carriage! "A couple in their fifties cried very miserably, snot and tears flowed profusely, and they slapped the floor and sang non-stop while crying.

There were also two girls next to her, and they also kept shouting at the sister, crying and crying.

Zhuang Rou looked at the four of them carefully, and saw that their clothes were in good condition, and their hands did not look like laborers, especially the two girls, one was twelve or thirteen years older, and the other was less than ten years old.

This is strange, if you can raise your daughter to be such a small jasper, why bother to come out and touch porcelain. If you really want to do this, it doesn't look like it.

The son, who was sad that the horse was killed, was stunned when he saw that four people suddenly ran out of the roadside and cried around a young lady covered in blood on the ground.

The coachman hurriedly said, "Young master, we hit and killed someone!" ”

The boy was frightened and stammered, "Big ...... It's a big deal that we lose money. It wasn't on purpose, the horse was suddenly startled, you can't blame me! ”

Zhuang Rou didn't say anything, glanced at him, then looked at the couple, and prepared to take another look.

The middle-aged man who was crying wiped his tears and stood up, looked at Zhuang Rou who was wearing a suit for the capture, his face was a little dazed, the woman had never seen it. But even if this kind of thing should be arrested, if you want to intervene, you have to wait until they can't talk about it.

He looked at the son, arched his hand and said sadly: "This son, the villain's surname is Lin, my family Bao'er is the wife of the second housekeeper of the Ministry of Chen Shangshu's Mansion who has not passed the door, and I came out today to buy dowry jewelry, but I didn't expect this catastrophe, so how good is it for my old couple!" ”

"The second butler of Chen Shangshu's family?" The boy was stunned on the spot, what is the second housekeeper of the Shangshu family, can he still take this out to scare people?

Zhuang Rou is even more inexplicable, didn't this sister touch porcelain and died?

Being able to marry the housekeeper of the Shangshu family has a little bit of wealth, so it's too strange that he doesn't need to go to this job.

Lin Laicai burst into tears again, nodded and said, "We have no choice but to ask my poor son-in-law to come over and see how to solve it, we have never encountered this kind of thing." ”

"Mother! Dad, my mother fainted! The Lin woman had already fallen into the arms of the two girls, and fainted with grief, and the older girl was so frightened that she quickly pinched her, and the younger one wiped her tears vigorously, and cried so much that her whole body trembled.

Lin Laicai hurriedly ran over, and after checking it, he was so anxious that he asked his older daughter to find a doctor, and the onlookers also came over to discuss, and the street was blocked.

Zhuang Rou stood up and said to everyone: "I am Douhu County should be arrested, you first help people to a shady place on the side of the road, and other things will be talked about later." ”

Then she walked up to the young man, arched her hand, and said, "This young man, pay a few dollars to call the strong men who are watching to come, straighten the carriage, and drag the horses to the side of the road, otherwise it will block the way." ”

"I'm paying?" The boy said noncommittally, "If I report to the official, you can do this, right?" ”

Zhuang Rou glanced at him with disgust, "You actually want to save money from Yingzhuo, and I didn't take your silver, I just asked you to pay a few big bucks and call someone to get the carriage to the side of the road." If you talk nonsense with me again, believe it or not, you will be punished for your sin by forcible authority. ”

The coachman hurriedly said: "My son-in-law's maternal uncle is also an official, you can't listen to his family's relationship with the Shangshu Mansion and favor him." ”

"Favoritism, just a housekeeper, why are you in a hurry. Don't be a little family and look poor and sour, hurry up and clear the road for me, otherwise I will ask you about your sins no matter who your maternal uncle is. Zhuang Rou said angrily.

I don't even dare to say the official name, it's definitely not a big official, and it should be a merchant's home. Besides, she even dared to fight the prince of Xian, and she was afraid of the relatives of this little unknown official.

"Okay, I'll call someone to clean it up." As soon as the boy heard that he was poor, he was immediately dissatisfied, took out his money bag and shook it, and threw it to the coachman to find someone to clean up.

Zhuang Rou smiled and asked, "What about this son?" ”

"The Liu family, one of the four stores in Beijing, is under Liu Zizhi." Liu Zizhi said arrogantly, not believing that he couldn't scare this little Ying.

Jingmen No.4 Store ......

Zhuang Rou has lived in this capital for so many years, of course she knows the Liu family of the four stores in Beijing, and these four stores describe the four largest merchants in the capital. This Liu family is in the cloth business, and is also responsible for supplying the royal fabric, and they also know a lot of people who are full of power.

Even the suit on her body is a fabric supplied by his family, and everyone knows when she mentions it.

But this has nothing to do with Zhuang Rou, so much so that it makes her think of one thing, if such a person with money commits a crime, the matter of Xiaojun Wang's repair can go further.

When Lin Laicai heard Liu Zizhi's origin, he immediately left his wife and daughter and walked over, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Official, can you please send someone to Chen Shangshu's Mansion and ask the second housekeeper Li Zhongxin to come over." We really can't leave, and we don't want to be talked about, saying that we are slandering people for money! ”

"Where am I free, I am just afraid that this Liu Gongzi will not believe that your son-in-law is really the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion, so let this coachman run back. But you have to clear the road first, and find a door panel to come over and put your daughter's body on top of a cloth. Zhuang Rou was directly assigned, she wasn't an errand runner, who would do such a thing.

The coachman was holding Liu Zizhi's silver bag, and he had to be instructed by Zhuang Rou to do his work, and he couldn't let his son-in-law do such a thing. After the road was cleared, he rented a carriage and went to the capital next to him to find Chen Shangshu's second housekeeper.

Zhuang Rou asked Liu Zizhi and Lin Laicai very seriously, and also inquired about the girl who was hit by the carriage and died.

Sixteen-year-old Lin Yubao only got married to Chen Shangshu's second housekeeper last autumn, although there is a difference of more than ten years, it can be regarded as a high climb.

This Lin Laicai's family is in Beimen County, which is more than an hour away from here, which is a warehouse where merchants place their goods, and the locals can live a good life as long as they open some inns and warehouses. Although this Lin Lai Caijia does not have inns and other business things, it has more than 40 acres of fertile land.

He is also a small landowner in the local area, and his life is quite rich, and he has no children and only six daughters. Although he only has a daughter, he still hired a teacher at home on weekdays, taught some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and raised his daughters to be virtuous and virtuous.

It is precisely because of such a good character that he can get along with such a good family, but now he was killed at a knot, and a life is gone, how can it be good!

There are forty acres of land at home, which can have a harvest of at least two or three hundred taels of silver every year, Zhuang Rou is a little suspicious that she has lost her eyes, the girl does not want to touch porcelain, but does not want to marry the housekeeper who is more than ten years older, so she committed suicide?

I think that the housekeeper should have a fat head and big ears, a bunch of concubines in the family, and the kind that has to line up for dinner.

She thought that if this thing didn't work out, it would be suicide, but wouldn't it be good to jump into the river if she wanted to die? I also hitched a horse for nothing. If this horse is not frightened, it will not be able to hit and die, and I don't want to die, but I just want to scare my relatives.

Zhuang Rou tilted her head and thought about it, thinking about all the possibilities, only thinking that it was more reliable to commit suicide or play a big mistake to die.

Although Liu Zizhi pretended to be calm, his heart was still panicked, not because of the identity of the other party's second housekeeper, but because the carriage he was in hit someone. Looking at the big pool of blood in the middle of the road, he sat on the square bench borrowed from the restaurant on the side of the road, and his calves were shaking all the time.

At this time, the doctor that Lin Yubao's sister went to call also came, first looked at the Lin family who had woken up, and then went to see Lin Yubao's situation.

The doctor knew at a glance that the person had died a long time ago, but he still checked it and said to Lin Laicai that the person was dead. Immediately, Lin Laicai's wife began to cry again, so angry that she couldn't breathe, and even the two daughters cried even more.

asked Liu Zizhi to pay the doctor's visit fee, and Zhuang Rou waited for the son-in-law of the Lin family to come and see if he was such an ugly person.

They sat at the door of the restaurant, so that no guests came in the restaurant, and the guests who wanted to leave after eating had to walk past the corpses, and most of them were reluctant to leave, so they all stayed in the restaurant to watch the excitement.

Hua Yulou and Tong Yu were also blocked in it, and the corpses were not afraid, but Zhuang Rou was sitting outside, and they couldn't walk and could only eat and wait slowly.

The shopkeeper wanted to drive people away, but before he could speak, he was frightened back by Zhuang Rou's sneer, so he had to send someone to invite the owner, hoping that this matter would be resolved quickly.

After a while, Liu Zizhi's coachman drove the carriage and pulled people over. As soon as the carriage stopped, a person jumped out of the carriage, tall and good-looking, although he was in his thirties, he didn't look obscene at all.

Li Zhongxin strode up to Lin Laicai and made a big salute, "Lord Yue." ”

"You're here, let's go and have a look, Bao'er, she's ......" Lin Laicai waved his hand weakly and said sadly.

Li Zhongxin walked in front of Lin Yubao, lifted the cloth covering it, frowned, and looked at Liu Zizhi after putting down the cloth.

Zhuang Rou squinted her eyes, thinking that it was really interesting, this second housekeeper of Chen Shangshu's family had an extraordinary bearing. Unlike a subordinate, he behaves more like a superior, Lin Yubao's suicide seems a bit too much.
