Besides, Cheng Hu was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard someone slamming the door, the door of his house was already thin and couldn't withstand smashing, the sound was very loud, he got up immediately, and then got up in a daze and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, good fellow, a group of people dressed in black came in, and he shouted: "It's not good, robbery!" ”

"If you rob you, you will report to the official."

Cheng Hu seemed to be talking so hard, he knew that the comer was not good, and after a closer look, it turned out that they were all fast catchers and servants. The leader asked, "How, are you still calling?" ”

Cheng Hu lowered his head, holding a breath in his stomach, and then suddenly released it, the sound was very loud, everyone was startled, and thought it was thunder.

This fart is extraordinary, different, and Cheng Hu welcomes the tolerance to come to the cold house in this way.

This makes the tolerance very passive, but in this line of work, everyone has seen it, so there is no need to feel unusual. So be it! If you catch someone, you still have to catch someone, and you have to go up to the stinky fart.

"Your name is Cheng Hu?"

"Yes. My name is Cheng Hu, and I don't change my name or surname. Cheng Hu said.

"You're pretty arrogant! Come with us. The leader said.

"I didn't break the law, so why should I go with you? Am I breaking the law? Do you have any official paperwork to arrest me? Cheng Hu asked.

He thought to himself, you can't arrest people indiscriminately!

Besides, if you don't break the law, you will be guilty of arresting people casually.

"Paperwork, yes, yes, you want paperwork, the county commander has already prepared it, this master is different, he has long expected that you will come to this hand, and he has prepared the arrest approval document in advance, do you want to take a look?" The leader of the team said, and then raised the official document in his hand.

"Forget it, I know, you don't have to show me the official document, I'll go with you. Just don't hit me. Cheng Hu said.

"I won't hit you. Feel relieved! As long as you cooperate. ”

"Cooperate and cooperate, just don't hit me. You can do whatever you say. ”

"Where's your money?" The team leader asked.

"What silver?" Cheng Hu asked, he was confused at that time.

"The money you have for your wealth and your life."

"Wronged, wronged! That's something you said drunk, not true. ”

"Not really? Why is it so coincidental? What about the silver? ”

"The money was spent."

"How?"

"I bought a field."

"Where?"

"In the next village, it is the field of Zhang Cripple in Zhang's village."

"Really?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, look, here's the contract to sell the land." Cheng Hu said.

As he spoke, Cheng Hu took out a contract of land and property from the bedside table, showed it to the team leader, who looked at it carefully and said, "In this way, this contract will also be taken away, and you will also have to go, go to the county office to make it clear." We are only responsible for arresting people, and the trial is the master's business. Don't blame us for bothering. The team leader said, and then asked Cheng Hu to be tied up and escorted to the county office.

The county order saw that Cheng Hu was the kind of person who was timid and afraid of things, and the principle of five listening should be used, and found that although Cheng Hu had a problem with his mouth, he was drunk at the time, an honest person, and he would behave dissolutely when he drank high, and he didn't talk about it, not to mention those who usually don't drink and talk.

The county magistrate asked, "Why is your land contract not your name?" ”

"Master Qiqi, what a small wrong! The land contract was really entrusted by someone to buy the land property of Zhang Cripple in Zhang Village, just to help buy it, so the name on the land contract was not the villain's, but the villain's brother-in-law. Just because it was inconvenient for him, he entrusted the villain to buy the land. Cheng Hu said.

"I see! So, it's your brother-in-law's money, why do you say it's your robbery? ”

"My lord, my lord, the villain is even afraid of killing chickens to death, how can he kill for money? I really didn't dare to do it, I just wanted to have the courage to brag after drinking. I really don't dare to do it. Cheng Hu said.

"Okay, if you stay in the county office, whether you are really wronged or falsely wronged, it will be revealed in the future, and this official will find out further." The county magistrate said.

The county order ordered that he could not be allowed to go to the dry well in Beishan for an autopsy, but only ordered him to stand by on the spot, and the officials also went to the scene to wait. Then a county-wide announcement was issued to publicize the collection of the body to the relevant people.

The work went well, and soon a woman went to claim the body.

The woman, who claimed to be the wife of the deceased, rushed to identify the body when she heard about it.

Helplessly seeing the headless corpse, she had no claim and said, "The clothes are quite similar." ”

"How can you be sure it's your husband?"

"When the husband of the folk girl went out, he brought a hundred taels of silver, which was used to do business, but I didn't expect that when I encountered the demon Cheng Hu, he actually took the money of the husband of the folk girl and killed the husband of the folk girl. I really can't wait to eat Cheng Hu's meat and drink Cheng Hu's blood, it's really annoying. also let Cheng Hu be executed by a thousand cuts. The woman said.

"Okay, you go back first. The murderer has been caught, don't worry, it will be tried at another date. You go back first. The killer is already in prison. The deceased, your husband, has no head yet, go back and tell you to come when you find your husband's head. Do you understand? The county magistrate said.

"Okay, master, the folk girl is waiting for news at home, if there is progress and the head of the folk girl's husband is found, the folk girl is very grateful, it can be regarded as giving her husband a whole corpse, and she will be reincarnated in the future." The woman said.

"The officer already knows. Next, you will go to the woman's hometown and post a notice to tell the neighbors to help find the head of the woman's husband. Whoever finds it is rewarded! The county magistrate said.

After the order is completed, all localities take active action, and they must find the local heads, and I heard that the prize is rich.

Soon there was news that it turned out to be Niu Er from Zhangge Village, who came to the county government to receive the reward.

Of course, he was confident that he would get the reward.

He really brought the head to the county order, and when he looked at it, it really looked like a dead man, and without looking carefully, he said that it was the head of a dead body, and the county order was very satisfied, so he gave a reward according to the promise, and rewarded 5,000 copper coins.

The practice of the prefectural order caused a sensation throughout the county.

Everyone talked about it, and they didn't know what medicine was in the gourd of this county order.

Niu Er received the bounty and was very happy, he said, "Thank you, master! Thank you, sir! ”

"There you go! However, the official asks you, do you have a family? ”

"Master Qiqi, the little one has not yet started a family because of his poor family."

"Do you want to start a family?" The prefectural order asked.

Niu Er looked left and right, blushed, and said, "Yes!" ”

"Haha, this is normal, if you don't want to, it's not normal, okay, the official knows, you go down!"

After Niu Er thanked him, he left the county office.

Then, the prefectural magistrate summoned the deceased's wife, and as soon as she arrived, the prefectural magistrate said, "Your husband's head has been found." ”

"Thank you, sir! The folk girl is grateful! ”

"Do you have any children?"

When the woman heard this, she immediately lowered her head, embarrassed, and said, "The folk girl has not yet had children. It's just that the husband can't do that. As a result, the girl has not been pregnant for many years. ”

"I see! Are you sad that your husband has died? Killed. ”

"No, it's a relief that he died unexpectedly."

"What do you mean by this? Is it painful for him to live? ”

"Yes, it's always painful for him to live. He was always counted down by his uncle, saying that he couldn't do it, he had no ability, so he might as well die! It's painful every day. ”

"And how do you know?"

"The folk girl is not deaf, his uncle taught him, the voice was loud, and the folk girl heard clearly."

"Is it because he doesn't have children?"

"Minnu thinks there is a reason, because Minnu's in-laws have passed away, and she also left with regret, because he did not have children, and he did not let his in-laws hold their grandchildren. This is the root cause. Make the home unpeaceful. ”

"Giving birth to children also depends on the will of God. Complaining doesn't solve the problem. ”

"Yes, it is providential. The people's women are also suffering, whose problem is it that they can't give birth to children? That's up to you. He can't do that, and the folk girls have to complain. This is also a disservice to him. He also said some radical things, but none of them were malicious, and now this is the case, he has been victimized by bad people. The folk girl also hated the murderer, so cruel that she didn't give the whole corpse, so that he couldn't live for more than once, which shows how vicious the murderer is. The woman said.

"Have you checked it out?"

"Checked. Lang Zhong said that it was his problem. It's not a question of the people's daughters. ”

"Did you take the medicine later?"

"I took it, it was the medicine jar at home, he took the medicine all the year round, but it didn't get better, our family is not rich, and we can't afford to toss like this."

"Well, what happened next?"

Later, his uncle often came to visit him and brought him some delicious food. comforted him, wanted him to get better quickly, and helped the Niu family continue the incense. The woman said.

"What happened? What do you think of his uncle? ”

"Speaking of this uncle, what a good man! He is handsome, and he is an uncle, but he is actually not a few years older than the husband of the people's daughter. Because he is an elder, we all respect him, and he often comes over to ask for warmth, which is very moving! The woman said.

"What about then? Is your husband getting better? ”

"No, it's not good." The woman said.

"What then?"

"It's only time to recuperate."

"How to recuperate?" The prefectural order asked.

"Lang Zhong prescribed some tonics, herbs, and other aphrodisiac nourishing things." The woman said.

"Are there any other ingredients?"

"Yes, it's just some drugs that support lifting power, strictly speaking, health things. In other respects, tonic is much stronger than cure. ”

After listening to the county order, he felt that it was unreliable. So he asked, "Has your husband changed, can he have a person?" ”

"Still can't."

"What happened then?" The prefectural order asked.

"Then he became more and more serious, completely useless, but shrunk, and he himself died of pain and shame."

"Do you want to continue to use tonics?"

"It's useless."

"What's that for?"

"Lang Zhong prescribed real herbs again, not tonics. You need to add some arsenic to it. ”

When the county order was heard, it immediately became vigilant that arsenic is deadly, and if it is not added properly, it is enough to take people's lives.

"Who took this medicine?"

"It was my husband's uncle who went to catch it. The folk girl is a woman, it is not very convenient, she can't show her head, and her uncle is unobstructed. ”

"Who's going to decoct the medicine?"

"The medicine that was caught back was naturally boiled by the people's daughter."

"How long?"

When the woman heard this, she suddenly felt as if she had been struck by electricity, trembled, and her eyes widened with fright.

"Master, master, when the medicine is boiled, the folk girl doesn't know how long it will last, it's the uncle who is helping."

"Are you boiling medicine together?"

"Yes. Master! ”

"Are you just boiling medicine?" The prefectural magistrate asked.

He saw that the woman was beautiful, her face was like a peach, and she plucked out the water. The figure is also curvaceous, slim and smooth. It will inevitably arouse the thoughts of some people, especially normal men who have not been married for many years.

"Master, we are, boil medicine, boil medicine, and don't do anything else."

Because there is no evidence, it is difficult for the county order to follow up.

"Tell me, how did your husband get better?" The prefectural order asked.

After drinking pure Chinese herbs, he gradually recovered. Uncle was very interested. Just let him go out and do business. He is also very willing to go out. The woman said.

"Is your uncle out of the house?"

"He doesn't go out."

"Do you want him to go out?"

"How old is he? Why don't you want him out of the house? The prefectural magistrate asked.

"He is in his forties, but he is not very strong, and it is a little difficult to go out.

"What is the age difference between him and you?"

"Who?"

"Your uncle."

"Twelve years apart."

"It seems that the statement of filial piety is not true."

"Yes, sir, he is about the same age as us, but he is weak and needs to be taken care of by the juniors. His juniors are equal to nothing, only us. Can't you take care of him? ”

"It's right to be filial, it's just that the official feels weird." The county magistrate said.

"Don't worry too much, sir. The folk girl and uncle are innocent and will never mess around. If you mess around, you will be hit by a carriage and killed by lightning when you go out. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a carriage galloped past outside the yamen, and the horse neighed, followed by a rolling thunder that rumbled through the sky, and then a bolt of lightning split the sky.

The woman fell to the ground, fearing that she would be hacked to death.

"Of course the official can rest assured, now that the murderer has been caught, you can rest assured to go, get married as soon as you are young, you are in your youth, you have not given birth yet, hurry up and have one, and you will have a dependency when you are old. However, it is okay to get married, and it must be approved by the official, otherwise, no marriage will be allowed, otherwise, it will be dealt with in accordance with the law, and there will be no mercy. The prefectural order said.

"Okay, the folk girl knows that if you get married, you must apply to the master first." The woman said.

With that, the woman withdrew.

The prefectural commander was about to return home, when he suddenly heard someone beating a drum outside.

The county order let the drummer in, and when he saw it, it was none other than his uncle Niu'er.

"Who is the one who kneels?"

"Little people cow."

"Accuse whom?"

"What's the matter with drumming?"

"To marry the wife of the dead."

"That's a good point! But there was no announcement, how did you get the news? The county magistrate asked.

"The little one is waiting at the gate of the county office, waiting for news, and I heard the master's orders."

"Excellent! Very good! Left and right, take it down for me, and beat the forty boards again. The county magistrate drew out the red slip and threw it on the ground. The arresting officer rushed up and began to loosen the suspect's bones.
