Sheng Li obviously felt that she hesitated for a moment before she said lightly what she thought in her heart: "Why bother, dwell on the truth?!" The words fell on Sheng Li's ears, as if he was helping Li Yu speak, if Qian Qingfeng was treated as a nameless corpse, it might be good for many people.

Ji Liu unconsciously took a step back when Widow Zhu's voice just fell, her body was unstable and her legs were weak, thanks to Sheng Li's quick eyes and hands, she was helpless.

She had never heard anyone mention that child, including Aunt Zhang, who had never told her, if she had known, she would have killed Qian Qingfeng with her own hands, and she couldn't wait for Li Yu to do it, but it was a pity that she came too late.

Li Yu has taken care of her younger siblings since she was a child, and she has been reluctant to marry because she is worried about them, and it is self-evident how much she likes children.

If the child's death can cost her half her life, then when she comes home and finds that Qian Xiaoya died in the well she dug herself, she blames herself and regrets whether she will drain all her life.

Different from Ji Liu's cranky thoughts, Sheng Li forced himself to calm down in this situation, he squeezed Ji Liu's arm, and said in a straight voice: "Maybe Qian Qingfeng is innocent of death, then it should also be punished by the law of the imperial court, and killing people will only lead him into a situation from which he will never recover." ”

The book never teaches how to overcome the inner hurdle of Sheng Li, to avenge the wicked.

He took two deep breaths, silently recited the words of the sage over and over again, always reminding him of the reason for coming to Widow Zhu today, and asked rigidly: "Lady Zhu, please think about it carefully, has Qian Qingfeng ever said that he has had a quarrel or quarrel with anyone?" ”

Widow Zhu was irritable, she had been talking for so long, her mouth was dry, and she was moved by emotion, and Sheng Li still had to get to the bottom of it, she rolled her eyes angrily: "No." ”

"Two, the slave family is going to have lunch, so it's better to leave." After the eviction order, Sheng Li had no choice but to help the paralyzed Jiliu leave.

"Why don't you continue to ask?" Ji Liu walked in front of the ceremony expressionlessly, and the pace was very fast.

Sheng Li followed behind, and he couldn't catch up, he felt Ji Liu's irritability and boredom, exactly the same as his mother's manic demeanor from time to time.

"Mrs. Zhu is going to have lunch." He saw his mother's shadow from the sharp back of Ji Liu, the fierce steps, every time his mother was like this, he would hide as far as he wanted, according to his father, only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Ji Liu stopped suddenly, with a sharp knife smile on his face: "Don't you think that the law is above all else? ”

Sheng Li looked at her grinning mouth, and the two rows of flat white teeth made a fierce light.

Although he didn't feel that he had said the wrong thing before, looking at Ji Liu's appearance, he couldn't help but tremble, Sheng Li touched the tip of his nose, and replied: "Zhu Niangzi has two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, one of which is large, full of food, and the meat is also stuffed. ”

"Do you think there's anyone in her house?" Ji Liu only cared about listening to Widow Zhu's story, and didn't notice the situation on the table.

Sheng Li also glanced back when he was supporting Ji Liu, and he explained: "To be exact, it's a man, a man with a big appetite. ”

Ji Liu stared at him for a while, then turned his head and continued to walk forward: "It will be...... That man? "Whether that bowl of rice is a corpse dumping man or not, the grand gift is unknown, but if you want to come to ordinary benefactors, you don't need to avoid it when they arrive.

Sheng Li didn't reply, the two walked silently, and soon returned to the county office. After he settled the silent Jiliu, he reported the whole matter to Wenyue City.

In the study room of the county government's house, a crisp voice came, and the ceramic teacup was heavily placed on the cup holder.

"Phew, what a scumbag," Wen Yuecheng was indignant after hearing this, and couldn't help but scold: "Lao Tzu is so big, I've seen someone who cheats and kills his wife, but I haven't seen someone who cheats and kills a child." ”

Sheng Li is still uneasy, the calm on the surface does not mean that the churning blood is suppressed, he can't help but echo in his heart, the biggest education he can do at this time is not to stop Wen Yuecheng's angry scolding.

After waiting for him to vent, Wen Yuecheng frowned and asked: "Widow Zhu's house has a lot of men, it is normal for there are male items in the house, and it is not impossible to leave food for others." ”

"Indeed," Sheng Li picked up the cup in front of Wen Yuecheng's case, refilled a cup of hot tea for him, and said, "When her subordinates left, she entered the kitchen and reached for the bacon hanging on the wooden beam. ”

After Wen Yuecheng listened, he poured a sip of hot tea and breathed hotly.

He bit the tip of his tongue and thought for a long time, just when Sheng Li suspected that the rest of the tea in the teacup was going to be cold, he asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

When returning to the county government along the road, Sheng Li thought about this problem, he was a little unsure, and said, "My subordinates want to send someone to keep an eye on Widow Zhu......"

After Sheng Li finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yuecheng, and the eyes behind the mask showed inquiry, as if he was asking for his opinion.

"Staring at Lord Ben, no one will help you," Wen Yuecheng smiled when he saw it, and suddenly felt a sense of relief that his son had grown up: "Yesterday, the people from the Criminal Prison Department of the Prefecture Government, not long after you left, gave the people from the county government to Lao Tzu to leave, and now the Zhaofeng Yamen is an empty shell." ”

“？” Sheng Li's eyes were full of doubts, no wonder he didn't see a few people when he returned to the county office.

Wen Yuecheng was angry when he mentioned this, and said angrily: "I ran over and snatched Lao Tzu's people away, I didn't even have a reason, don't mention it, Lao Tzu really deserves to be suffocated to death as this adult." “

"However," Wen Yuecheng stood up and walked to Sheng Li's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you so dedicated to those short cases of parents on weekdays, you don't even have a brain, Qian Qingfeng's case, you are very positive." ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his shoulder against the solemn salute that was frozen in place, with a wicked smile on his face: "Isn't it because there is a girl in the case?" ”

Without waiting for Sheng Li to refute, he continued to tease: "Lord Ben remembered it, the night you found Qian Qingfeng, you looked at Miss Ji with admiration in your eyes......

"The subordinates are just acting according to orders," Sheng Li's ears turned red, and he hurriedly diverted the topic: "As a head catcher, I ask for the people's life, it should be like this." ”

Wen Yuecheng looked at his shy appearance, and was very satisfied in his heart, and he also left behind the unhappiness of the morning and now. He rolled his eyes, took something from the edge of the table and stuffed it into Sheng Li's hand, and asked Sheng Li to take it, only saying that he could use it.

Sheng Li was ridiculed and had no ability to resist, so he was in a hurry to leave, and without looking at it, he stuffed things into his sleeves and returned to the room, and when he turned around, he couldn't see Wen Yuecheng's face with a bad smile, and his intention to watch a good show was obvious.

According to Wen Yuecheng, people, whether they are men or women, must sleep beautifully, and presumably he will not go to the vicinity of Widow Zhu's house with Sheng Li at night. Sheng Li returned to his room, ready to rest for a while and recharge his strength for the evening.

As a result, as soon as he lay down on the soft collapse, the book given by Wen Yuecheng fell out, and he took advantage of the sunlight shining in the afternoon, bent his legs and sat up comfortably, leaned on the windowsill and read it fascinatedly, with a warm wind blowing on his jade-like cheeks, and a soft gold mask on a black background lay quietly on the mahogany tea table.

His gaze lingered on one of the pages for a long time, and suddenly Sheng Li sighed, and the glass-black pupils slowly lifted, pursing his lips and looking back, if the wall could be penetrated, he would probably have seen the crying imageless Jiliu.

Half an hour had passed since he returned to the house, and the small and broken sounds from the next door had not stopped. Although it was a small whimper, like a puppy abandoned in the rain, pitiful.

Stunned for a long time, he sighed, put down the book that Wen Yuecheng had just given him, put on his mask and got up to go out, the spring wind blew on the table, and he opened it directly, and the contents were read by the daylight.

- Coax a good girl for two or three things.

After a while, Sheng Li stood outside the house with a plate of things, the whimpering sound in the door continued, he couldn't help but scold Wen Yuecheng, hesitated again and again, but couldn't resist worrying, and knocked on Ji Liu's door.

The sound of a knock on the door woke up Ji Liu, her eyes full of moisture raised, a little panicked that the fawn was disturbed by foraging, she tried her best to control the voice with a crying voice, and kept calm and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me," Sheng Li glanced at the things in his hand, his eyes were full of remorse, and he continued: "At noon, the yamen has more food, and the girl remembers to eat it." ”

The relationship between Li Yu and Ji Liu has long been verified by them, and looking at Ji Liu's reaction, she must have been unaware of Qian Xiaoya's death.

The truth of Qian Xiaoya's death is regrettable, and suddenly, even an outsider like him can't accept it, let alone Ji Liu, who has a close relationship with Li Yu.

The Sheng family was born in all the houses, and since he was a child, except for the elders in the family and the maids in the house, he has never been in contact with other women.

Although he was said to be an adulterous person for some reason, since he was young, he was rarely on the street, but he could only be chased by various women, so frightened that he fled in all directions, and completely lost his literati style, Sheng Li did not even allow maids in his room.

It was the first time he had lived with a woman other than his mother.

Sheng Li can think about it, his concern for Ji Liu is indeed beyond ordinary people, and his heart is awkward, only to blame Wenyue City for being demagogic, he left immediately after putting down the things.

Ji Liu lay on the side of the bed and was silent, she just wanted to say thank you, when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, the door next door was tightly closed, the sound was not as silent as when Sheng Li first returned to the house, and then there was a muffled sound of something being thrown to the ground in the next room.

She stood up and looked at the wall, her head tilted, a little inexplicable, but there was no other sound next door since then, and Ji Liu could only give up.

She looked at the things that were brought in, a smile suddenly appeared on her stunned face, and she muttered, "Roast chicken?!" ”

The charred roast chicken on the plate was steaming, and the aroma of meat drifted into the tip of Ji Liu's nose, and her heart, like a knife and axe, continued to be beaten and tortured, but her throat was no longer as sore as before.
