Chapter 61: The Three Brothers of the Chai Family (I)

In ancient times, the division of family property has always been a big problem, and there are many disputes that have arisen from it.

In his previous life, Zhao Lin had heard an ancient story about the distribution of family property, which was quite interesting.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Xu Wu who had two younger brothers in the family.

After the death of his parents, Xu Wu proposed to separate the family, and the two younger brothers agreed.

So he divided all his property into three parts, and got the lion's share himself, and his two younger brothers got only a small share.

The neighbors were not accustomed to him, and ridiculed him for swallowing up the family property and being unworthy of being the eldest brother, and at the same time praised the two younger brothers for being broad-minded and not as knowledgeable as the elder brothers.

The reputation of the two younger brothers gradually spread, and they were promoted as filial piety by the Taishou at that time.

As a result, Xu Wu invited the clan elders to come to the door, crying and saying, "Everyone misunderstood me, I did this for the sake of two younger brothers who have not yet made a name for themselves, don't be confused by money." ”

"To motivate them to study hard, even if my reputation is bad, it doesn't matter, as long as they have a good future, it's worth it."

Subsequently, Xu Wu donated all the existing family property to his two younger brothers.

When the neighbor heard this, he thought it was very reasonable, and praised him as a good brother, and when Taishou saw him thinking about his younger brother so much, he raised him as filial piety with a wave of his hand.

After Xu Wu tossed the family property, there were three more filial piety in the family, and he was too good to keep the reputation of love, which was a win-win situation.

However, the three brothers of the Chai family are not so harmonious.

"I don't know what sins Chai Qihong created in his previous life, and the three sons he gave birth to are more unfilial than the other."

"The boss opened a timber shop and grabbed business with his father; The second brother is a water dragon gang, and what he does is to coerce the people and oppress the good; The old three are bad gamblers, and they spend all day in casinos and brothels......"

The next day, Zhao Lin came to the dock again and asked Tian Dabang about yesterday's incident.

Before he could speak, Tian Dabang gushed about what he had just heard.

Zhao Lin frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart who this family is.

Tian Dabang foamed and talked for a long time, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Chai Qihong still has an unborn child, I hope that when he grows up, he will not follow his ......brothers."

Zhao Lin immediately interrupted: "Unborn child? Is it a chord? ”

It is recorded in the file that Chai Qihong's wife died last year and married a successor, but there was no mention of pregnancy.

The Dayue Dynasty stipulated that his wife could not divide the family property, and Zhao Lin felt that Xu Xian had no motive to murder his husband, and he was not at home at the time of the crime, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Tian Dabang nodded and said, "That's right." Chai Qihong's continuation was pregnant three months ago, and he heard that he had severe morning sickness, so he went back to his parents' house early to recuperate. ”

Zhao Lin didn't know if this information had anything to do with the case, but he still remembered it.

"Zhao Zhutou, this is what I wrote down, do you think you can use it?" Tian Dabang said and handed over a note.

Zhao Lin took it and took a look, the names and addresses of the three brothers of the Chai family were written on the paper, the places they frequented, what friends they had, and even the outer room of the foster family was clearly written.

In addition, there is also the information of the friend who sent Chai Qihong home that day.

"Brother Tian, thank you!"

"Zhao Zhutou is too outward."

Tian Dabang smiled from ear to ear, "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it......"

Leaving the dock, Zhao Lin took Liang Song, He Qingquan and Tao Er to the timber shop opened by the boss of the Chai family.

The shop is north of the pier and will arrive in a short time.

There were a lot of logs piled up in front of the door, and there was no one coming in or out, and it seemed that business was not doing well.

Before entering the door, Zhao Lin glanced at Tao Er, and saw that his brows were deeply locked, his fists were clenched, and he seemed to have entered some kind of competitive state.

"I'll talk to people in a while, don't hit people."

Zhao Lin learned from Tian Dabang that the temper of the eldest and second eldest of the Chai family was not very good.

In case of a quarrel, Tao Er went crazy and beat someone to death, then he didn't have to do it.

Tao Er nodded in response: "I won't beat him to death." ”

Zhao Lin sighed in his heart and patiently explained: "It's not that you don't beat him to death, it's that you don't beat him." ”

Tao Er was stunned and said reluctantly: "Okay." ”

Zhao Lin walked into the store and saw two guys standing in the lobby chatting.

"Where's your shopkeeper?"

The boss of the Chai family is careful in his calculations, and he is the shopkeeper, and his wife is the bookkeeper, so he has this question.

The four catchers broke in in a hurry, both of them were startled, and one of them asked in surprise: "Catcher, what are you doing?" ”

Another clever guy pointed to the back room, "The shopkeeper is in the back." ”

Zhao Lin ignored the two of them anymore and led people inside.

In the courtyard in the middle of the front and back yards, a man in his thirties sat on a chair with a book in his hand, teaching a boy of five or six years old to read and write, and a woman stood next to him.

"You're Chai Ren, aren't you?" Zhao Lin walked into the patio and asked.

The man's face changed, and he got up and replied, "It's the villain, is there something wrong with the master?" As he spoke, he gave the woman a look.

The woman hurriedly picked up the child and hid him in the room.

Zhao Lin pulled a chair and sat down on his own, and asked, "On the day your father had an accident, did you go to find him?" ”

A trace of impatience flashed on Chai Ren's face, and he lowered his head and said, "I've found it." ”

"What for?"

"Borrow money, and the store can't be opened."

"Did your father lend you the money?"

"Nope."

"You had a big fight over it, and even the neighbors heard it, but is there such a thing?"

"Yes, but the villain left after the quarrel and never went back."

These questions were recorded in the file, and Zhao Lin deliberately asked them again, but he was not going to ask the same question again.

"I heard that when your store first opened, business was good, but your father used the means to snatch customers away and suppress you with low prices, right?"

Chai Ren gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Zhao Lin said slowly: "You can't come to borrow money, so you hold a grudge......

Chai Ren was taken aback: "What do you mean by this, my lord?" ”

Zhao Lin was unmoved and continued: "So in a fit of rage, you killed him!" ”

Chai Ren couldn't help but say angrily: "You, blood spurting people!" ”

Zhao Lin sneered: "I advise you to recruit it, the evidence is conclusive, and you can't be allowed to quibble." ”

He Qingquan was dumbfounded, and said in his heart that there was no such thing, but after thinking about it: Could it be that Zhao Zhutou knew that he couldn't solve the case, and wanted to play the trick of torture?

Chai Ren trembled with anger, "You have the ability to take out the evidence!" ”

"Arrogant, damn it!"

Tao Er suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Chai Ren with his fist.

"Stop!"

Zhao Lin had already taken precautions and pushed him away.

This guy has a lot of strength, and Zhao Lin used a lot of strength to hold him down.

Chai Ren was frightened and took a few steps back.

Zhao Lin pulled Tao Er out and looked back at Chai Ren, "Wait, I'm going to find the county to ask for a sea fishing paper." ”

"How do you say it, suddenly you have to arrest someone?"

After Zhao Lin and the others left, Chai Ren's wife came out of the room.

"I didn't do it, what are you afraid of?" Chai Ren was so angry that he kept panting as he spoke.

"Then how does he say there is evidence?"

"Hmph, the body is not afraid of the shadow, no matter what evidence he has."

"Boss, you tell me the truth, does your father's business have anything to do with you?"

"How many times have I told you, I haven't moved a finger to him, why do you still ask? I don't believe it, they all say that the new magistrate enforces the law impartially, and he dares to frame me ...... with a small catch."

Zhao Lin stood on the street opposite the timber shop, stretching his ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

Seeing that Zhao Lin was motionless, He Qingquan glanced at Liang Song suspiciously, meaning to ask what Zhao Zhutou was doing?

Liang Song shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

After a while, Zhao Lin whispered to himself: "It shouldn't be him." ”
