Chapter 28: The Unknown Male Corpse (3)
This...... Di Renjie was stunned. The case has not been solved, the murderer has not been caught, and with Young Master Yin's body, it can continue to go down, once it is buried, it will be difficult to do the rest of the matter. But seeing the two poor women of the Yin family, it is not easy to postpone it. Di Renjie's eyes fell on Shuqi, and he looked at him again and again, but what he said in his mouth sounded:
"Good! The official made an exception, and the lady brought back the body of Young Master Ping, so that he could be buried thickly! β
"Young Master! Cannot! β
Shuqi had already understood Di Renjie's embarrassment, he saw that Di Renjie seemed to have tears in his eyes, but he didn't handle things with emotion like Di Renjie, and seeing that Di Renjie was not good at refusing the pleas of the two ladies, he spoke out to stop him.
Di Renjie was a little excited, and shouted loudly: "This official said that if you make an exception, you will make an exception, and you have to talk nonsense here!" I still don't give the official a step down. β
Shu Qi saw Di Renjie blowing his nose and glaring at him, and he was amused in his heart, but the fake play was really done, he still took a deep breath, bowed down and saluted: "Young master, this case is full of suspicions, before the murderer is identified, the villain thinks that the Yin family should not be allowed to bring back the body, this is not only for the sake of the reputation of the adult, but also to give the Yin family justice." β
Di Renjie smiled: "Then please tell me about the doubts in this case?" β
Shu Qi was also a little short-tempered, his face was already red, he approached Mrs. Yin, and asked, "I don't know how the old lady saw that the deceased was your son?" β
"This?" Mrs. Yin was slightly stunned, and looked helplessly at the Yang family behind her. Seeing his mother's embarrassed appearance, Yang hurriedly said to Shuqi: "Although my uncle is unrecognizable, didn't you say that you found him in the lower reaches of Zhangwu County?" Three days ago, Uncle jumped off the Zhangwu Riverγγγ "Halfway through, Yang couldn't speak, and when she talked about Uncle at this time, her throat rang and stuck like a stone, and she couldn't make a sound."
"That means that Madame can only judge this corpse from Yin Gongzi's jumping into the river three days ago, am I right, Madam?"
Mrs. Yin hesitated for a while, looked at Shuqi in panic, took his hand and said, "What do you mean...... Could it be that Ping'er is still alive? β
Shu Qi's face was embarrassed, a little afraid to look at the Yang family, and said nervously: "Madam, if there is no mistake in speculation, Young Master Yin is probably dead?" β
"Why, don't you say that the corpse may not be uncle's?" When Yang's recent hopes were shattered again, he could no longer bear the pain of losing and regaining, and shouted loudly to Shuqi.
"Madam, you calm down first, you listen to me first, I said that Young Master Yin is dead, there is a basis. First, if Young Master Yin is still alive now, then where is he now? If someone kidnaps him, then the kidnappers kidnap Young Master Yin is nothing more than asking for money, although Yin Mansion is the first in Zhangwu County, but this first family does not refer to financial resources, but influence.
Second, just now Mrs. said that Young Master Yin jumped into the Zhangwu River three days ago, if the corpse is really your young master's, how can it be unrecognizable, I have carefully examined the corpse at the latest, and found that there are no signs of poisoning, and there are no traces of beating, it is really drowning, which seems to coincide with Young Master Yin, but how can Young Master Yin's face be unrecognizable?
Third, if I guessed correctly, the corpse was really a substitute ghost, then Young Master Yin must be dead now, because the murderer is suspicious and misleading our thinking, he doesn't want us to find the real body of Young Master Yin, there must be some ulterior secret. Madam, at this time, you should tell the truth about why Young Master Yin jumped into the river, so that we can give you and Young Master Yin justice? β
After hearing this, Yang couldn't help but take a few steps back, kept shaking his head, and said to himself: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" β
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Di Renjie saw that Mrs. Lu's expression was sluggish, her eyes were like death, and there was a place in his heart that was aroused, and seeing that her center of gravity was unstable, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her steady, and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just think of my uncle, my heart aches, and I blame me for being too obedient to him. If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have let him marry? β
"Marry? Does this have anything to do with Young Master Yin jumping into the river? Di Renjie was afraid that he would stimulate Mrs. Yin again, and asked softly.
"That was a month ago. My uncle met the eldest lady of the Lin family when he went to Linxian to buy mountain goods, and for some reason since then, Ping'er has been clamoring for me to ask the matchmaker to say goodbye to the eldest lady of the Lin family for him, I can't screw it, so I have to agree. When the matchmaker and I went to the Lin family in Linxian County, the eldest lady of the Lin family agreed to marry Ping'er, accepted the dowry of our Yin family, and came to greet her the next day.
"This is a great joy, why did Young Master Yin jump into the river?" Di Renjie felt that this case was far from being as simple as he thought, and he felt that the biggest suspicion was this marriage.
After listening to Di Renjie's words, Yang smiled bitterly: "Who knew that two days before we got married, a fortune teller came to the door of our Yin Mansion, and told me that my daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door was Lou Jingou, and after entering the door in the future, my Yin family will definitely have bad luck."
I was frightened and hurriedly asked the fortune teller for a way to crack it, he said that he wanted my Yin Mansion to dissolve the marriage, but the uncle refused to agree, in desperation, I found the fortune teller again, he said that since the marriage contract could not be dissolved, there is only one way to resolve this disaster, that is, to our family on the wedding day must be the wedding lively and grand, until the guests disperse, must lock a couple in the new room, if three days later, the couple is safe, then the disaster will pass.
So, I ordered someone to lock the doors and windows of the new house, leaving only a small opening in the middle of the door, for three meals a day!
On the first day, the room was safe, and the food was handed out immediately, and on the second day, it was the same, and on the third day, there was no movement inside, and the food was eaten.
I thought the disaster had been resolved, and I was so unhappy. But I never thought that this was just the beginning of the disaster for our Yin family.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, I had to remove the locks nailed to the doors and windows of the new house, and planned to invite my uncle and daughter-in-law, who had been wronged for a few days, out to enjoy a rich breakfast. As soon as I opened the door, my subordinates and I saw Ping'er, who was already dressed in the faint light, rushing out of the door like crazy and running out of the house. I was frightened at the time, so I hurriedly led the people to chase in the direction of Ping'er's run, only to see Ping'er running to the bank of the Zhangwu River, and when he reached the bank, he ignored our shouts and jumped into the river with a 'plop'.
