"Returning to the adult, the little one inquired in the village according to the instructions," Zhao Zhuang took a deep breath, and had to admire the young man in front of him, "Li Yu grew up in Lotus Village since he was a child, and he was not bought by Qian Qingfeng until he was twenty. ”

As he expected, Wen Yuecheng shook the hair that was hanging on both sides of his forehead, and was proud of his wit: "Heh! Look, Miss Ji is really a good hand at handing pillows! ”

"I heard from the old people in the village that Li Yu had been taking care of Miss Ji before she was bought, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two were as close as mother and daughter." Zhao Zhuang didn't look at his proud and complacent appearance, and dutifully reported the news he heard today.

Ji Liu, who had just arrived in the room, would never have thought that her identity would be guessed by Wen Yuecheng as early as when she was in the court.

Wenyuecheng has no wind and waves in Zhaofeng County for half a year, and the life is very boring, just trying to find some excitement, the case of Baihua Lake came to the fore, and he didn't expose Ji Liu's lies for the first time, just to stay by his side and have some fun.

The smile on his face became even more flamboyant, and after Zhao Zhuang told him everything he had heard, he waved him down and stopped talking.

Sitting on the side, Sheng Li's heart was churning, he had known Wenyue City for half a year, and he only knew that he was clever, but he had never seen this person's wanton court, and the beauty of the ravines, and he didn't know how to talk to him for a while.

The aura of silence spread between the two, and after a while, Sheng Li heard the sound of Ding Lingdang outside, he put down the kettle in his hand that was pouring tea, looked at Wen Yuecheng and said, "She's here." ”

"Then let's go," the corners of Wen Yuecheng's mouth hooked, revealing his true nature: "Let's see what kind of surprise Sister Ji will bring us." ”

There are a few streets between the prison in Zhaofeng County and the county government, which is not inaccessible, but ordinary people don't like to get close to it, so it is naturally much more deserted than other places.

By the time the three of them staggered all the way to the prison in a carriage, it was already completely dark. Compared with the traffic and water houses near the county office, with red lights and green tiles, the cold feeling of the prison is like maggots on the tarsal bones, and it refuses to be peeled off.

Ji Liu raised his hand and pulled up his clothes, the night guard at the gate of the prison was twice as many as the county government, and even the stone lion that suppressed evil was hideous and majestic in the dark night. She looked at the "Zhaofeng Prison" on the horizontal plaque, slowly frowned, worried eyes flowed from her eyelids, and the lantern hanging above the prison revealed a pale yellow light, bringing subtle warmth to the three of them in the cool night.

Wen Yuecheng took the lead in walking over, and the officials at the gate of the prison were much more sensible than the county officials, only to see them bow their heads: "See your lordship." ”

"Your Excellency came here late at night, but you want to interrogate the suspect in Baihua Lake overnight?" After Wen Yuecheng excused them, one of the sturdy middle-aged men stood up and asked respectfully.

"Well," Wen Yuecheng motioned for the two behind him to follow, and then said to the middle-aged man: "Please report, hard work Ning Tou will arrange it." ”

Ji Liu's face was full of questions: "? ”

She turned her head to look at Sheng Li, the meaning of asking for advice was obvious, after careful calculation, the prison was equivalent to the backyard of the county government, and the lord of a city went back to his own backyard, why did he have to ask someone to report?!

Sheng Li's tall body stood beside her, blocking the wind from the side for her, and the kindness that was not shown made Ji Liu full of security.

It is no wonder that the Shengli Society has become the object of everyone's pursuit by the women of Zhaofeng County, Ji Liu knew Shengli in the gossip, and now he understands his temperament in getting along day and night. It is often said that there is no one behind the scenes, and the same is true for those who sit and listen to right and wrong, who knows, what is the truth of what is in the mouth of others? !

"The county officials in all parts of the country are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the prison," Sheng Li patiently explained: "The same prison is not allowed to interfere in the county government's decision-making case." ”

In Zhaofeng County, although Wenyue City has an official rank, and the Ning Cell Head in his mouth has no grade or rank, but the situation in the prison Ning Cell Head will regularly pass on books to the state capital. In each prefecture, there are special criminal prison departments, and they and the state government yamen will report the case situation to the secretary of the six permanent and five secretaries who is in charge of the national criminal prisons.

"Yes, even if the cell boss does not have an official position, the difference between the rights of the cell boss and Lord Wen will not be very big," Sheng Li finished talking about the division and unification of the national punishment and prison in a few clicks: "It's not an equal level, it's similar to a flat level." ”

Since Wen Yuecheng took office, he has not had much contact with Zhaofeng Prison, and the relationship between the two sides is bland.

Zhaofeng County has always been smooth and rainy, the people are simple, and there are very few heinous criminals, so almost all the thieves in Zhaofeng Prison are thieves who steal chickens and dogs.

Those people's mouths are not clean, and the dirty words that Sheng Li has never heard since childhood will come out of their mouths, and they are reluctant to come here after coming once. This is the second time that Sheng Li has stepped into Zhaofeng Prison after he became a fast catcher.

Not long after the middle-aged man entered, he came out, and he said to Wen Yuecheng: "Lord Wen, our cell leader said that the prisoner was injured when he was sent to the prison, so you should be careful." ”

The three of them followed the middle-aged man into the place where the female prisoner was held, but it was quiet inside, not as noisy as Jiliu imagined.

Li Yu was held alone in the innermost part of the prison, and there was no one in the first few rooms, and the middle-aged man sent them to the center and said: "The prisoners in the prison get along well with the officials, and they will bring food to the prisoners every day, and I hope that Master Wen can leave before that." ”

"Here we are."

The middle-aged man stood still, and Ji Liu saw Li Yu in prison, her hair was scattered, her mouth was chapped, and she was dressed in dark gray prison clothes.

"Li Yu? Li Yu? Sheng Li shouted twice, Li Yu didn't make a single response, Ji Liu couldn't find brilliance from her eyes, and her whole face was dull and without aura.

She couldn't help but take two steps forward, and was about to put her hand on the cell door, when she suddenly came to her senses and stopped.

Ji Liu's eyes were fixed on Li Yu, refusing to stagger for a moment, and Sheng Li's cold inquiry came from his ears: "Now that the yamen has found a witness to prove that Qian Qingfeng's body was thrown into the lake by a man, you still dare to say that you have not committed adultery with a foreign man?!! ”

When Li Yu, who had no reaction, heard this, he raised his head instantly, his eyes were red with a sense of determination. No matter what kind of charges they want to impose on her, she can not refute it, but it is absolutely impossible to say that she is not involved with a foreign man, and she has no face to go down to see Qian Xiaoya with such a stigma.

Li Yu was about to refute it, but he directly met Ji Liu's worried eyes.

"You ......" Li Yu was stunned, her mournful cry was blocked in her throat, and she didn't expect Ji Liu to appear here.

Ji Liu was worried that because the two knew each other, Wen Yuecheng no longer believed her words, so he immediately took advantage of Li Yu's stunned gaze and immediately scolded: "Li Yu, don't tell me who the man who conspired with you is!" I saw it the night before the Hundred Flowers Festival, and the man threw your husband into the lake, and he didn't invite him from the truth. ”

Li Yu's bloodshot eyes widened, and in Ji Liu's scolding, she knew that the man Sheng Li said was true, no wonder Qian Qingfeng, who should have been buried in the pigsty by her, suddenly appeared in Baihua Lake under the witness of everyone, she thought that she had committed a wandering spirit, and in the middle of the night, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she dug people out and threw them into the lake.

But......

In such a world that is extremely unfair to women, even if it is just passing by, the world is guilty of it, that is, there are a hundred mouths that can't be explained, no one cares about the truth, they will only see what they want to see.

And......

In any case, she must not die for the same reason as Qian Qingfeng.

Even if there really is such a man, he must not allow himself to die for such a dirty reason.

Instead of being speechless, it is better to let this man never appear in the eyes of the world, Li Yu closed her eyes fiercely, hiding the tears that were about to be left, she was determined to die: "I don't know what you are talking about!" What man? I don't understand. Qian Qingfeng was killed by me, it has always been me, there is no second person. ”

Sheng Li and Wen Yuecheng glanced at each other, the helplessness in their eyes was clearly seen by each other, and they didn't want to think about it if they couldn't figure out the reason, Li Yu may have her own ideas, but in terms of Zhaofeng County Ya, in the case of Baihua Lake's corpse dumping, they all have to make the case clear from beginning to end, leaving no doubts.

He asked: "You said before that it was because Qian Qingfeng had a woman outside and wanted to divorce you, so you killed people ruthlessly, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"I've already said that the dog man has been entangled with the widow outside many times, and he has to divorce me," Li Yu gritted her teeth, and she said over and over again with painful recollections, "I have been married to Qian Qingfeng for many years, because he goes out all the year round, I take care of the inside and outside of the house, which point is sorry for him?!" ”

"I can save money by growing vegetables and raising pigs at home, but he dislikes me for having the temperament of a countryman, and I can't get on the table."

"I want to take care of the housework and try my best to let him come back without worry, but in his eyes, I play at home all day long, and I don't know how to clean up myself, and my long face and yellow muscles are not attractive."

"Yes," Li Yu couldn't help but smile, and the sadness that couldn't be concealed was revealed, she couldn't figure it out: "I can't get on the stage, I'm a good-looking person who doesn't know how to dress up, is that Zhu much better?" A widow and a married man are on the table?!! ”

After counting it carefully, Li Yu found that her years of dedication were not as good as feeding pigs and dogs, at least when she met a thief, she could accompany her to stop Xiaoxiao, and when she was hungry, she could also use it to slaughter and wrap her belly.

But she met Qian Qingfeng, and now she can only hide in the dark and be heartbroken, crying for the wrong payment and the impending death. After thinking about it, involving her heart and lungs, Li Yu thought that she had no future, and it was even more painful, and her tears inevitably slipped down and hit her red and swollen hands.

Seeing this scene, the three of them sighed in their hearts, Wen Yuecheng would tell her story in the case record in the book, but the law is strict, and what he can do is limited, hoping that Si Qing can handle it as appropriate when he sees the case, and at worst, it will make Li Yu's death more happy.
