The dim light penetrated through the clouds, as if an unbladed short knife had divided the Qian family's hall, making people deeply feel that it was dark to stand where the light was left, and it was cold to stand where the light could not shine.

"Did this Mrs. Qian marinate herself in a flower pot? Incense people have a headache. One of the officials couldn't help but ridicule when he saw that Li Yu was not there.

Before the two could reconcile, the official had an evil smile on his face and added, "I must have tried to please my husband, but I used too much force." With this taste, can Qian Qingfeng do it in bed? Hey~~"

"Okay, you will die on this mouth sooner or later," another official stopped him, and it was too much to tell the truth about the right and wrong in other people's homes, not to mention: "Think about it, the body lying in the yamen is almost rotten together, it is very likely that it is the husband of the lady of the Qian family, how pitiful." ”

Thinking about it, he has to be a widow at a young age, Li Yu can't help but look like the wind, and he doesn't know if he can survive if he knows this.

When Li Yu came in with three cups of hot water, she saw such a scene, the two officials looked at her with regret, and only Sheng Li sat motionless on the chair with his eyes closed. She gave them the hot water and said, "Adults, drink some water." ”

Then she put the plate aside, sat down, and asked gently, "What does the lord want to ask the people?" She should have sorted out her mood during the time she left, and she was very calm when she came out again, and there was even a smile on her cold face.

"Come with me," Sheng Li opened his eyes and looked at Li Yu without squinting, I don't know if it was the weather, his voice sounded colder than before: "Mrs. Qian." ”

Since Ji Liu left yesterday, until now, Li Yu has never opened the door, if it weren't for Sheng Li and other people to visit, she could close the door to the point where she had to go out to buy goods.

Li Yu didn't know what was going on, her heartbeat that had just calmed down shook violently again.

She looked at Sheng Li's unrefusable appearance, got up helplessly, and said, "Let's go, my lord." ”

Sheng Li and the two officials went out first, he turned his head to stare at Li Yu who was closing the door, and after noticing that her gaze lingered in the room, his body unconsciously paused, and the locked hand slowed down.

He looked at it and thought to himself: "Mrs. Qian's life is really unique. ”

"The habit brought by the countryside is hungry and scared," Li Yu seemed to think of something, and sneered: "Why, adults don't look down on these things?" ”

After Li Yu asked, Sheng Li did not reply, and the two officials who followed behind looked at each other, not daring to say more, and the four of them went all the way to the yamen without saying a word.

Sheng Li personally took her to the autopsy room, motioned to prepare two sets of utensils for him, and then left Li Yu in place.

Li Yu stood in the courtyard, with a thick stench lingering on the tip of her nose, a smell she was very familiar with these days.

Just when the soles of her feet were sore, Sheng Li came back, he took Li Yu to hold the ginger, and after lighting the sesame oil, he pushed her in.

"I invited Mrs. Qian over this time to let you identify the body," he said while observing Li Yu's expression, and after confirming that she did not have the fierce reaction of ordinary people's pain, he continued: "Mrs. Qian take a closer look, but your husband Qian Qingfeng. ”

The corpses on the wooden table had been cleaned up, and the whole looked like a human being, unlike the ones that were cracked and glued together before, which was disgusting.

As soon as Li Yu entered the autopsy room, she kept trying to take her eyes off the corpse, and she didn't want to face that face again.

As soon as Li Yu entered the coroner's room, she repeatedly tried to remove her eyes from the corpse, she tried to swallow the saliva in her mouth, and the pungent taste of ginger instantly woke her up, and then replied coldly: "The woman doesn't understand what the adults are talking about, the husband of the woman went out to deliver goods two days ago, he is a medicinal herb merchant, and he often has to move around." ”

The wandering eyes instantly exposed her thoughts, Sheng Li sighed deeply, and said, "Qian Qingfeng has a scar on his face, which was left by the previous interception and killing of the mountain bandits, right?" ”

He pointed to the smashed face of the deceased and said, "Mrs. Qian, the skin on the face of this corpse is not completely decomposed, and the scar can still be distinguished, you ...... Want to check it out? ”

Li Yu wanted to continue to refute, but was stopped by Sheng Li, he said firmly: "There are many scars on the face, but the scar from the left ear to the left jaw is very rare, not only in this Zhaofeng County, even if it is a busy Hundred Flowers Festival, it is also rare, Mrs. Qian, can't you tell it?" ”

Sheng Li's words blocked Li Yu's last retreat, and she seemed to have used up her last strength to prevent her from falling directly to the ground.

Li Yu took two steps back, leaned half of his body against the door, and cried in his mouth: "How could this be him?" The woman has already said that he went out to run the goods, how can it be him lying here?! ”

"Mrs. Qian is suffering, is Qian Qingfeng dead? Or was his body found in Baihua Lake? Li Yu's body trembled after he finished asking, and his crying stopped for a moment, and it continued to sound again after a while.

Sheng Li was also waiting patiently, he believed that Li Yu already knew it in his heart, and there was no need to say more.

The two of them remained in this state until there was a knock on the door outside the autopsy room, and someone said, "Sheng Hunt quickly, Master Wen called you to go." ”

Sheng Li responded: "Okay." ”

Then he looked down at Li Yu, who was squatting on the ground, and said, "Mrs. Qian, wait a minute." ”

He went out and instructed the official who was spreading the word outside: "Arrange a guest room for Mrs. Qian to rest." ”

After thinking about it again, he arranged in a low voice again: "That's it, lock her up first, my lord, I'll explain it myself." ”

The official who passed the message had his mouth half-open, and his hand that was bent over had not yet been released, and he looked at Sheng Li with a surprised face.

It was not until Sheng Li left that he reacted and immediately took Li Yu into custody. During the whole process, Li Yu didn't say a word, and his face clearly wrote the four big words "heart is like ashes".

At the same time, Sheng Li was standing in front of Wenyue City and replying.

"Why did you go out to investigate the identity of a corpse, and you brought a murderer back to Lord Ben?" Wen Yuecheng's eyebrows on the side were slightly raised, and he looked at Sheng Li with interest, waiting for him to reply.

Sheng Li said: "Lord Hui, the aroma on Li Yu's body is strong, and her subordinates suspect that she is trying to cover up some taste. ”

"For example...... The corpse smells," Wen Yuecheng sat back in his judge's chair after answering, crossed his legs, supported his head with his hands and continued to ask, "Then how do you know that the corpse was once hidden in the pigsty?" ”

"Li Yu told me himself." Sheng Li recalled that when he went out, Li Yu once unconsciously glanced at the pigsty.

The knee-jerk reaction is the most real, as if a person suddenly turns around after going out to see if the door is locked.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed the sky outside the house, "Boom! With a bang, the heavy rain that had been held back for a day finally poured down. The rain was connected together, breaking the boredom of half a day, and the sparse footsteps outside the door came.

Sheng Li continued to say to him, "Master Wen, the evidence is back. ”

As soon as the words fell, the wooden door of Wenyue City's study rang, which was particularly harsh in the continuous rain, disturbing him, he looked at the door and said, "Come in." ”

A young man in a crown dress pushed open the door and appeared in the eyes of the two, he stood still behind Sheng Li, and reported what he found in the Qian family to the truth: "Lord Hui, turn out a bloody straw mat under the pigsty of the Qian family. ”

With the boy's report, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and at the Fulai Inn, the grandchildren who were preparing to return to the village were also forced to stay.

Ji Liu said helplessly: "It's raining too much, I'll go talk to my uncle and go back at another time." ”

After settling down again, Ji Liutou did not rush back into the rain.

"Uncle," when she approached the market, she saw the vegetable seller standing under the eaves to hide from the rain, his face was leisurely, and the sound of the rain covered up the voice of Ji Liu, and she couldn't help but amplify the volume: "Uncle, I'm here." ”

The uncle's eyes were drawn to it, and he saw that the cotton clothes of Jiliu could not block the wetness, and the part covered by the hair was light-colored, and the color of the other places was dark.

The uncle pulled Jiliu under the eaves and said distressedly: "This weather will change, and I won't brave the heavy rain to go, your girl is wet, isn't it more troublesome to be infected with the wind and cold?!" “

"I'm worried that if you can't wait, we'll be in a hurry," Ji Liu hurriedly explained, "I thought that you wouldn't leave, but I couldn't rest assured, so I rushed to say." ”

After hearing this, the uncle laughed, and just wanted to scold her for being too stupid, when he heard a woman's voice not far away: "Remember Liu? That's great! Good thing you're here! ”

Ji Liu looked back, accompanied by the roar of thunder, she saw Aunt Zhang holding an umbrella and walking quickly towards this side, her panicked face was full of anxiety.

couldn't wait for Aunt Zhang to walk to her, and heard Aunt Zhang say, "Oh no, your sister was taken away by the yamen." ”

The lightning pierced the sky, like a freshly bladed sword, clearly reflecting the stiffness on Ji Liu's face.

"Why?" The sound of thunder and lightning exploded along with Ji Liu's muttering and fell to Aunt Zhang's ears, she couldn't help but get closer, and told Ji Liu what happened after he left, 1510 in detail: "...... Not long after the Qian family's lady was taken away, there was another little brother from the government, I asked, and only said that the body found in Baihua Lake yesterday was Lao Qian's, please ask your sister to go over and identify the body. ”

"But I don't look right," Aunt Zhang saw that when the little brother came out of the Qian family, he was holding a roll of straw mats in his hand, although he was pinned behind him, but she still let her sneak a closer look: "The little brother took out a roll of straw mats from the Qian family, and I saw that the exposed point seemed to be stained with blood." ”

Ji Liu's pale face was a little terrifying, and her brows were furrowed as if she could fall to the ground by blowing an evil wind, Aunt Zhang steadied her and said, "You asked me to take care of your sister in the morning, not long after you left, the official came and took her away." If it weren't for another trip, I really wouldn't have found out that the Qian family lady was no longer there. ”

"Jiliu, are you listening to me?" After talking so much in one breath, Ji Liu barely replied, and Aunt Zhang couldn't help but be a little worried.

She wasn't a talker, so she had to comfort Ji Liu: "Don't worry too much, I know very well that the two members of the Qian family are at home, as long as Lao Qian is at home, they will quarrel all day long." Lao Qian is also a master who forgets his wife, and he is always entangled with the widow of the Zhu family, and there is no one around us who doesn't know. ”
