Second, after she woke up, she called the other two maids in the room, but she couldn't wake them up by pulling her arm, can those two maids really sleep so well? Who will believe these words?

The county master and the master around him are combined, and there are many places in the words of the maid Xiaoju, which are difficult to justify, even if she does not set the fire, I am afraid that she is also an accomplice of the arsonist, and she will not be able to escape the involvement.

In the end, in the court, the maid Xiaoju was punished, and after a few rounds, Xiaoju was not punished, and she confessed that she set the fire.

asked her why she set the fire, Xiaoju said that Master Liang is not a human, but a beast. Master Liang is also Liang Deren. On the first day she was sold into the Liang Mansion, Liang Deren dragged her into the firewood room and bullied her, and later forcibly abused her many times. So she hated Liang Deren and all the people in Liang's mansion.

On the afternoon of the fire in the Liang Mansion, Liang Deren took advantage of the fact that his two wives were not at home, and dragged her into the firewood room to humiliate her, she was angry, so she waited for everyone to fall asleep at night, and set fire to the Liang Mansion, not only wanting to burn Liang Deren, but also wanting to burn all the people in the mansion.

Xiao Ju's confession made the county magistrate, including those who caught it fast, all breathe a sigh of relief, and felt that it could be regarded as finding out the arson of the Liang Mansion.

However, then the problem came out again, the maid Xiaoju couldn't tell how she set the fire, and how she set such a big fire all at once, and after the fire, the people in the Liang Mansion didn't seem to notice it at all. According to the results of the autopsy, all the people in the Liang Mansion were burned to death by fire in their sleep, and there were no external injuries on their bodies, that is, they were not killed in bed and then cremated.

I can't wake up after being burned by the fire, which is not easy to explain, and for this, the maid Xiaoju can't explain it clearly.

Also, where are Liang Deren's daughter Liang Xiuxiu, housekeepers, and old mothers? If you want to say that Xiaoju kidnapped and kidnapped the three of them by a weak woman, it seems unlikely. I also suspected that Xiaoju colluded with people outside the house to commit a crime, but this Xiaoju knew very few people nearby, only one of her uncles, and escorted her uncle to the county government to take a look, an old man who was almost eighty years old, and the road was about to be bad, saying that he and Xiaoju colluded to set fire, and the ghosts didn't believe it.

The above questions, no matter what kind of punishment Xiao Ju is given, Xiao Ju can't say that he is ugly.

At that time, my great-grandmother's second brother was also present, and my great-grandmother's second brother wondered, did this maid make a trick for Qu? Because many of the details she said are not the same as the case at all.

As soon as my grandmother's second brother told the county master, the county master and the master decided to temporarily put the maid Xiaoju in prison and continue to hunt down the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion and the old mother who cooked.

Time, soon entered the middle of November of the lunar calendar, at this time, the official in the county government got a reliable news, saying that in the middle of the night on the first day of October "Ghost Festival", the village watchman saw someone burning paper money in the ruins of Liangfu, while burning, and crying in a low voice, seeing that the person's dress was a middle-aged woman about forty years old, as if it was the old mother who cooked in Liangfu.

After the fire in Liangfu, the people in the village said that the ruins of Liangfu were not clean, and they would cry wolves at night. The watchman didn't dare to look closer, and the cat in the distance was in a corner, and by the light of the fire from the burning paper money, he vaguely recognized it as the old mother of the Liang Mansion.

Because he was afraid, he didn't dare to tell anyone about it, and he didn't say anything about it when he was going door-to-door, which he accidentally said when he was drinking with the "eyeliner" in the yamen two days ago.

However, if the one who burned the paper money was really the old mother who cooked in the Liang Mansion, why did she go to the ruins of the Liang Mansion to burn the paper money? Who is the paper money burned for? Is it burned to Liang Deren?

From the fire in Liangfu to the first day of October, nearly two months have passed, during which the catchers in the yamen have been investigating and secretly visiting, and have never been able to find the whereabouts of several missing suspects.

Just when the arrester in the yamen was about to investigate the matter of the old mother burning paper money, the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion, who had been missing for many days, appeared inexplicably, and the housekeeper ran to the county office to report the case with a frightened face, saying that someone was trying to kill him.

The housekeeper is beating the "drum of grievances" in the middle of the night to report the case, which is also called "shouting the drum of grievances", which is located outside the gate of the county ya, and is specially used by the people to beat the drum and sound the grievances, and you should have seen it on movies and television.

Because the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion reported the case in the middle of the night, except for the two officials who watched the gate in the county office, everyone else had already gone home to rest. As for the county magistrate, he slept in the backyard of the county office, but he couldn't hear the drumming and shouting in front of him.

After the two officials who watched the gate woke up the county magistrate, the county magistrate heard that it was the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion who beat the drum and shouted grievances, and immediately came to the spirit, and was worried that there was no place to arrest people, so he sent it to the door, and hurriedly ordered the two guards to summon all the officials and officials on duty in the county government overnight, and promoted them to the night trial.

After the county magistrate gathered all the people in order, the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion had already knelt in front of the county hall and curled up, his face was red, his body was trembling and shaking, and his mouth seemed to be stumbling and whispering something, and the whole person was like seeing a ghost.

Seeing this, the butler on the side felt that something was wrong with the housekeeper, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, but before he could walk to him, the butler's body "soared" and burst into flames, like a pile of dry firewood poured with fire oil was lit at once, and the housekeeper's body burned into a big fireball almost instantly, and the flames were pressing, and then, the entire county hall was filled with the housekeeper's terrible screams, and the faces of everyone present changed drastically.

Waiting for everyone to react, the county magistrate gave an order, and the officials on both sides rushed up to extinguish the fire on the housekeeper.

In front of everyone's eyes, the housekeeper was burned alive, and the officials and servants who witnessed this strange scene, including the county magistrate, were all frightened, and my grandmother's second brother was also present at that time, and he was not lightly frightened.

Later, after examination, it was found that the housekeeper was exactly the same as the previous housekeeper, and the fire was also burning from the stomach, which made everyone present look at each other.

However, they were not without gains, and after the housekeeper was burned by the fire, he clearly shouted four words, Miss spare her life! Miss spare your life!

It's just the four words "Miss spare her life" that makes the case more and more confusing, and everyone is confused.

Could it be that the fire on the housekeeper was set by their young lady Liang Xiuxiu? Or, is it a lady from another house? In the past, those who could be called "Miss" were the daughters of large families.

At this point, the clues of the case seem to have been interrupted again......

My great-grandmother's second brother told my great-grandfather about the matter here, even if it was finished, until the ninth day of the lunar month, four months have passed since the arson case in Liangfu, and it is still an inextricable fog, and the old mother who cooks has not been able to find it, and the whereabouts of Liang Xiuxiu, the lady of Liangfu, are unknown.

My great-grandmother's second brother came to my great-grandfather to ask if this matter was related to ghosts and gods, because the fire on the housekeeper and the family was not done by manpower at all.

My great-grandfather listened to my great-grandmother's second brother say the above, took a sip of the wine glass, and then was stunned thoughtfully for a while, put down the wine glass and said to my great-grandmother's second brother: "Second brother, I look at this matter, it's not easy to do, if people set the fire on the fire, it's good to say, if it's really those things, then this thing is not a small grievance......

My great-grandfather continued: "I just remembered that I heard my master say in the past that there is an evil thing in this world, called 'Chilian Firefly', which looks like a snake, and it is born from the gathering of ghosts and resentments, and this evil thing is very domineering, and if it touches something, it will catch fire, and if you walk on the road, the soil on the road can burn it into black mud......"

The "red practice fireworm" that my great-grandfather said at this time can be said to be a small animal generated by the condensation of ghost resentment or yin qi, which is indeed true, many ghost resentment or yin qi will be condensed together into small animals such as cats, dogs, snakes, and weasels. One of the most bizarre things I have ever heard is that in the early days of liberation, there was a "mass grave" in Datong City, Shanxi Province, saying that on this mass grave, you can see a towering tree at night, with lush branches and leaves, but when you look at it again during the day, the big tree has disappeared without a trace, and it is said that this big tree is the condensation of the grievances of the dead in the mass grave.

In some families, the relatives of the family have passed away, and suddenly one day, a black cat-like animal slipped into the house, but when you close the door and look for it all over the house, you can't find it. There are many cases of this kind of ghost changing animals, some of which are small animals that have just passed away from the bedroom of the deceased relatives, and they are generally black and yellow. I believe that some friends must have heard of it, or even seen it, so I will not list them all here.

Straight to the point. When my great-grandmother's second brother heard what my great-grandfather said about the "red practice firefly" at this time, he probably remembered the tragic situation after the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion and the family were burned to death, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked my great-grandfather, "If it is really this firefly, do you have a way to catch it?" ”

When my great-grandfather heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, "Don't talk about catching it, it's difficult to kill it directly, this thing, come and go without a trace, give it the first bite, the clothes catch fire, and the second bite will cause the body to catch fire......"
