Chapter 22: The Tragedy
The alarmed neighbors rushed to take a look, only to see that the originally elegant courtyard had been transformed into a Shura dojo, blood was splattered everywhere, and servants and maidservants were lying on the ground. At this moment, there was a quarrel behind the hospital. The neighbors crowded to the back to take a look, only to see a man holding a steel knife, dressed in black and with blood splashed on his face, arguing with a woman wearing only a middle coat, kneeling on the ground and holding the seriously injured and unconscious Master Shen, covered in blood.
When he saw someone coming, the murderer became anxious and stepped forward to cut people indiscriminately. Taking advantage of the fact that the neighbors were frightened and retreated, he turned around and pulled the woman vigorously and walked away through the back door.
It was very foggy that day, and when the neighbors rushed into Shen's house again with weapons in hand, they could no longer find the mother and the murderer. And the owner of the courtyard, the master of the Shen family, never woke up from his coma. The only thing left in the house was an old woman who was sleeping soundly in another small courtyard and had no idea of the tragedy, and the owner's little daughter who was less than two years old.
And the neighbors have never seen the murderer in the local area, so there is no way to find out.
As soon as Master Shen had an accident, even Lili Toast was alarmed. The next day, he rushed from the Tusi garrison to Meigu County, where the murder occurred. I checked with Meigu County Commander for many days, but I had no clue.
Lily Toast was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. On this day, he discussed countermeasures with Meigu County Lingmose.
Mose's face was ashen, and he said, "The lower officials have been checking for so many days, and there is really no direction. ”
Lily Toast hurriedly said, "I know it too." But when I heard the gossip from above, if there were no more clues, the Criminal Department would send someone. You know what's involved. The criminal department is in that person's hands, I'm afraid it will be bad for me. ”
Mose listened, and remained silent. After thinking about it, he said: "Tusi knows the lower officials, and he never gets involved in vain." But if Master Shen doesn't handle this matter well, I'm afraid it will really be bad for Toast. When the time comes, I am afraid that this southwest, which has been calm for a long time, will be chaotic again. ”
Lily Toast hurriedly said, "What countermeasures do you have?" Let's talk about it. I know you. ”
Mose looked left and right, and Toast understood and waved away.
Mose said: "The murderer is indeed difficult to find. However, when the lower officials were investigating the case, they heard about one thing. ”
It turned out that the housewife of the Shen family was not Master Shen's wife, but a fisherman's daughter by the Anning River, named Ou Mu Guoguo. Since childhood, he has been famous. grew up to eleven or twelve years old, and his sister Ayi Asha are a well-known pair of beauties. As a result, a bad star was provoked to come to the door to propose.
This evil star was a relative of Lelitus, whose name was Lelegus. This person eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, lends money at usurious rates, forcibly occupies people's daughters, and does all kinds of evil. There are many wives and concubines in the family, but there are often tragic rumors of hanging.
On that day, Lelegu saw the beauty of this Omu fruit, so he sent someone to bring a dowry and threw it to the fisherwoman's house, saying that he would take the sisters into the house as concubines three days later.
Omuguego and Ayi Asha are beautiful, but their temperament is extremely strong. At the age of flowers, of course, he would never marry Lelegu, a bad old man. But Lelegu has a huge power, and if he doesn't comply, he is afraid of affecting his father and mother. The two are mixed, and there is nothing to be done. was anxiously hugging and crying by the river, and ran into Master Shen who was playing in the southwest.
Who is Master Shen? He was a genius from Pucheng, Fujian, and without any support from the DPRK and China, he once became a privy envoy in his official position. It can be seen that he is a person.
More than ten years ago, when he was just a small signing academy, several Tusi in Qiandi rebelled. Shen Jichang was ordered to go out with the army. With a shrewd mind and an incorruptible tongue, he actually persuaded the young Lili Tusi among them, and then united with the imperial army to join forces inside and outside, and turned against him.
After the rebellion was put down, the rebellious Tusi were beheaded for public display. Lord Shen was greatly rewarded by the above. And Lili Tusi got a large area of land and a large number of Yi people in these Tusi. suddenly became the most powerful and hot figure in the southwest. Therefore, I am especially grateful to Master Shen Jichang Shen. The two became inseparable friends.
So when Master Shen told the old man to return to his hometown, Lili Tusi invited him to live in Qiandi.
