120. Suspicion

How could Li Siniang die?

Still dead in Wangzhou?

Didn't she elope with Lu Feixing and go to the capital, become Mrs. Kuo of the outer room, and never come back!

Chu Hui's face was gloomy.

"Hu'er?" Seeing that Chu Cheng's expression was wrong, Lin Boqin raised his hand to hold Chu Cheng's arm and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Cheng came back to her senses and tried her best to stay calm, she took a few steps back, didn't look at Li Siniang's corpse again, lowered her eyes and said, "...... No, it's just a pity to think that this woman died at a young age. ”

Although Lin Boqin was strange, he didn't think much about it.

She asked in a hoarse voice, "By the way, this Li ...... How did the woman find out? ”

Lin Boqin pointed at Feng He.

Chu Cheng let out an "oh" and didn't continue to ask.

Because Feng He looked at her eyes...... It's so dazzling, as if you can see through her at a glance.

Feng He said at this time: "Does Madam know how this woman died? A dagger, piercing the heart from the back through the chest, is exactly the same, and it is not an ordinary person who can do it. His voice was a little cold, but it made Chu Xi's heart skip a beat.

What does Feng He mean by this?

Is it doubting her?

Chu Cheng thought it was ridiculous, but she couldn't laugh.

Lin Boqin was still verifying the identity of the deceased, and Chu Cheng left the mansion under the pretext of going home to rest, and left the mansion in despair.

Along the way, she couldn't understand why Li Siniang appeared in Wangzhou, could it be that she had a bad time with Lu Feixing, and wanted to come back to marry Lin Boqin, but unfortunately was killed halfway?

Inexplicably, Li Siniang died, and Chu Cheng felt a sense of relief.

knew that she couldn't think like this, it was too selfish to think like this, but she couldn't help it...... Because, Li Siniang is dead, and their marriage contract does not need to be counted.

It's night.

Lin Boqin returned to the mansion, and Chu Cheng was sitting on a chair under the porch, looking embarrassed.

He frowned and stepped forward, raised the back of his hand and stroked her forehead: "There is no fever, what is wrong?" ”

Chu Cheng heard his concerned voice, felt sour, threw herself into his arms, and hugged his waist: "Husband...... What clues can be found in the female corpse today? ”

Lin Boqin shook his head: "I inquired about the entire Wangzhou Prefecture, but there was no lost woman. He paused in his tone, "I have arranged for Yang La and Sheng Feng to take people to the nearby county seat to investigate." ”

"Shengfeng? Gu Jingtong? ”

Lin Boqin snorted and explained, "I transferred him to Wangzhou, and he just arrived today. After all, Wangzhou has always been under the jurisdiction of Chen Ziyang, and I don't feel at ease with his old department. ”

Chu Cheng understood.

Although Gu Jing is also a hanger, he is indeed Lin Boqin's right-hand man.

Chu Ji thought of the dead Li Siniang again and sighed.

She pretended to be Li Siniang, no matter who she was, they would guess that she was the murderer of the main master. And Feng He also said that the person who killed Li Siniang would do martial arts...... What if, what if she is misunderstood one day?

Thinking of this, Chu Cheng hugged Lin Boqin tighter in fear.

Lin Boqin has said that no matter what happens, he will believe her.

Therefore, she should also have confidence in him, and he will definitely be able to find out the real murderer of Li Siniang.

The next day, Lin Boqin had to go to Yamen early in the morning to deal with the case of the unknown female corpse.

However, Chu Ji hugged his neck and didn't want him to get up.

"Sister, don't be willful."

Lin Boqin chuckled, a little helpless.

Chu Cheng didn't know what was going on, she pestered him endlessly last night, as if she couldn't use up her energy. Early in the morning, he pointed and pressed his chest, making him almost breathless.

"Husband......

Leave this case alone.

As if Li Siniang never appeared, he followed her plan to give birth to a child and return to the capital to be a colt. When everything is a foregone conclusion, she will definitely tell everything and promise not to hide it from him.

"It's still early, you can rest first."

Lin Boqin didn't hear the helplessness in her words, pulled the brocade quilt to cover her slender shoulders, took off the official uniform from the screen, dressed neatly, and left the house.

Chu Cheng peeked out of the quilt and looked at the closed door.

There was a faint morning light looming, but for some reason, Chu Cheng felt that there seemed to be a flood beast lurking there, and he was cold, and he had a bad premonition.

***

Lin Boqin arrived at the Yamen, Yang La and Gu Jingtong had not come back, but Hu Yu brought a certificate of examination and reported: "My lord, after a day of examination, this female corpse has been dead for about seven days, because of the cold weather, the corpse will be preserved so well." The clothes she wears are not produced in our Wangzhou, but the new style in the capital. ”

Lin Boqin took the inspection and was about to take a closer look, but saw that the light at the door was dim, and a messenger came to report: "Lord Lin, there is a woman outside the door who asks to see her, and she says that she has something important to report." ”

"Woman?"

Lin Boqin was a moment late, folded the test certificate and put it in his sleeve, and walked out with Hu Yu.

Outside the public hall, an old man in his fifties with a stiff figure looked very haggard wearing a felt hat and a thick cotton jacket with a fluttering dust. Beside him stood a waist-length woman in a green dress, who was his distant cousin Ye Fangxuan.

Lin Boqin frowned, but he didn't expect that Ye Fangxuan hadn't given up on him.

In order to save face for his distant relatives, he tried not to be so annoying in his tone: "Why are you here again?" I said......"

"Cousin, I'm not here to pester you!"

Ye Fangxuan rushed back from Yunzhou, and there was a lot of dust along the way, God knows how excited she was, and she couldn't wait to tell him the truth she found immediately! She pulled the haggard old man over, her eyes widened, and she said in a trembling voice: "Cousin, do you know who he is?" He is your father-in-law, Li Siniang's biological father! ”

Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this.

The old man's facial features in front of him couldn't see any similarity with Chu Cheng at all, and he was stunned, but his attitude slowed down a little: "The old man is really ...... Sister-in-law's father? ”

"Hu'er? What's the concubine? ”

The old man was stunned and pointed at Ye Fangxuan, "This girl said, someone pretended to be my daughter and married an adult, is this matter serious?" ”

Lin Boqin couldn't react to the meaning of his words: "Uncle, what do you want to say?" ”

Ye Fangxuan was anxious, she took two steps forward and interjected: "Cousin, don't you still understand?" The current Li Siniang is not the real Li Siniang at all! She's lying to you! ”

Lin Boqin's figure shook slightly, and then he scolded angrily: "Ye Fangxuan! If you talk nonsense again, I will punish you for the crime of disturbing the yamen!" ”

"Even if you punish me, I will say it!" Ye Fangxuan didn't expect Lin Boqin to believe it, her eyes were red, and she said loudly, "Cousin, I'm really not lying!" Your current wife is not Li Siniang who has a marriage contract with you at all! Think about it, Li Siniang is twenty-seven or eight this year, how can she be so young? She...... She pretended to be your wife, she must have a bad intention! Cousin, you can't be fooled by her! ”

Hu Yu also said angrily: "Miss Ye, there is no evidence, why should my family listen to you?" If you dare to slander my wife again, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

Ye Fangxuan burst into tears in a hurry, whether she could drive away "Li Siniang" or not, all in one fell swoop!

She was heartbroken, knelt on the ground, and shouted at Lin Boqin: "Right and wrong, cousin will know if he goes to investigate?" In Qingyuan County, do you remember Su Yu's mother Liang Xiumei? When she was crazy, she was injured in the shoulder by a thief who was impersonating, and now the wound on the shoulder is not healed...... Cousin, do you know that the thief who is now pretending to be your wife is strong in martial arts, and she is not a weak woman at all! ”

Lin Bo Qinjun's face was forbearing, he clenched his fists, and ordered Hu Yu to blast Ye Fangxuan out.

Ye Fangxuan was taken out of the yamen, and she still didn't give up and shouted: "Cousin, you can't be deceived by her, she must not be well-intentioned!" Cousin, this old man is really Li Siniang's biological father, I came all the way from Yunzhou to find him, I just hope you don't be deceived by that thiefβ€”β€”"

"Your Excellency."

Hu Yu turned around nervously and looked at Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin's face was pale, but he ...... Ye Fangxuan's words have some truth.

Chu Ji is indeed not as ignorant as she appears. She knew a lot, she could read, she could write, and she was not afraid to face a corpse alone.

Memories of the past flooded in, and Lin Boqin thought of a long, long time ago.

Chu Cheng was almost humiliated by the flower thief, and when he arrived with someone, the flower thief was already dead, what did she say at the time? Yes, she said, it was a ranger who saved her by the way. Now that I think about it, there are few people there, and it is the middle of the night, which ranger will disappear without a trace after quickly saving people?

And she always does some inexplicable stupid things, such as chasing the crazy woman Liang Xiumei alone, such as going out sneakily with Xiao Xuan, such as ...... Too much, too much.

"Your Excellency."

Hu Yu shouted at him uneasily, "Liu Cheng came over and reported something to you." ”

Lin Boqin came back to his senses and saw Liu Yanzuo walking over with a wooden pallet. In the wooden tray was a pair of dirty embroidered shoes, a crumpled piece of paper, unfolded, and a line of words was written on it: "The one who killed me is Yu Xuanji." ”

Lin Boqin was slightly stunned.

Liu explained: "This note was found in the mezzanine of the deceased's shoe. ”

Mo said Lin Boqin, Hu Yu was also stunned: "Mezzanine? ”

Liu Yanzuo nodded: "Not bad." ”

"This is obviously a false accusation." Hu Yu insisted, "Who will stuff this note into the sole of the shoe?" So secretive, in case no one finds her, who knows how she died? It's completely unreasonable! ”

Lin Boqin pondered for a moment and picked up the embroidered shoes, but saw that the soles of the shoes had been cut open in advance, so that a piece of paper could be placed...... A large piece of paper.

And a small lock of paper in his hand, cutting such a big gap, is a little unreasonable. As Hu Yu said, who knew that he was going to die, and he went to great lengths to hide words on the soles of his shoes?

He was thinking about it when suddenly an exclamation came from behind him.

Lin Boqin, Hu Yu and the others followed the sound, but when they saw the old man brought by Ye Fangxuan before, they suddenly rushed forward, snatched the embroidered shoes from Lin Boqin's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... These beaded velvet shoes are the dowry I personally selected for my daughter when she got married! ”

Hu Yu subconsciously asked, "Who is your daughter?" ”

The old man raised his vicissitudes of life and replied with a crying voice: "My daughter is married to Wangzhou from Yunzhou...... Li Siniang! ”
