Chapter Twenty-Six: Ancient Orphan Resentment?
Ke Xiucheng was about twenty years old, with a delicate appearance, and the washed yellowed green shirt covered his slightly thin body.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Huo Xiang, who still had tears in the corners of his eyes, his eyes were firm, and he spoke loudly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth about your grandfather's death and give you an explanation."
Xiao Huo Xiang and Wan Yanjing: "......"
Wan Yanjing obviously didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't kill the person, but she was just a passerby who happened to enter Huo Xiang's memory.
But at this time, looking at Ke Xiucheng's firm and confident eyes, she knew the truth, and she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.
The person concerned, Huo Xiang, was probably not weak-hearted, she heard Xiao Huo Xiang choking, making an immature sobbing sound, and said while hiccups:
"Brother, save my grandfather! Please save my grandfather! ”
Although he was blocked, Ke Xiucheng successfully obtained the opportunity to re-explore the body by virtue of his parents' status.
Huo Xiang was led by a small servant and sat far away from the grave and waited.
He looked at Ke Xiucheng and Liang Yanzuo over there seriously.
In the midst of a bunch of people's grievances and nagging about good luck and evil, Ke Xiucheng and Liang Tongzuo worked together to open the coffin.
Because it was a cold winter, although seven days had passed, Lu Laisheng's body was still well preserved.
Ke Xiucheng seems to be very interested in autopsy, he does not just watch Liang Cheng do the autopsy, but personally put on gloves and conducts an examination.
Because Xiao Huo Xiang's eyes had been on Ke Xiucheng's side, Wan Yanjing was also forced to keep looking at that place.
Xiao Huo Xiang has excellent eyesight, even if he can't hear the communication between Ke Xiucheng and Qi Zuo, but their movements can be seen in detail.
Wan Yan Jing was bored, and she felt that her fear of corpses had been greatly reduced.
After a long time, Ke Xiucheng took off his gloves, and their autopsy was over.
Xiao Huo Xiang frowned and communicated with the system in his mind.
"This Ke Xiucheng is not simple, he found out that Lu Shengbao had taken drugs before he died."
The system said: "It is not difficult to explain that Lu Shengbao's corpse is too obvious, and there is no resistance and struggle, except for a little friction and bruise left over from the fall, his fatal injury is only a blow in the back." Therefore, normal thinking will think that Lu Shengbao is most likely to fall to the ground first because of drugs, and then he was stabbed to death. ”
Xiao Huo Xiang said with a serious expression: "This is the flaw, if Lu Shengbao was killed by a master with strong martial arts, why did that master drug him?" Lu Shengbao is short and thin, and he doesn't even need a martial arts master, as long as a healthy adult male can take advantage of his unpreparedness and sneak attack him from behind. ”
"If I were Ke Xiucheng, I would focus on some vulnerable groups, such as women and children."
"From this point of view, Aunt Zhou's family next door and I are the biggest suspects."
"Bai Ze, give me an analysis, what is the probability that Ke Xiucheng will find me?" Huo Xiang pondered for a moment and asked.
"Good host, I'm giving you an analysis, and the probability that you're suspected of being a suspect is currently 1%."
Wan Yanjing felt that she and they were people of two worlds.
She was very curious, how did she know what Ke Xiucheng and Liang Chengzuo said from such a distance, could she lip talk?
Although there is only a one percent probability, Huo Xiang's heart has already sounded the alarm.
"Why do I have to stay in Tan County, Lu Shengbao has fifty taels of private money, I can take that money and go to a place where no one knows me."
The system said: "The host doesn't need to worry, it's just a one percent probability." Even if he finds something wrong, what reason is there to suspect you? This is the backward era of cold weapons, and if he can't produce evidence, he can't convict you. There are no witnesses, and the evidence is also in Lu Shengbao's body, what can he use to prove it? ”
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you are only five years old, when bandits are rampant in the world, and easy children and food abound, your best choice at the moment is to stay in Liujiazhuang."
Huo Xiang was still very hesitant, and finally he decided to get in close contact with Ke Xiucheng and know the progress of the case in time.
If something is wrong, it's too late to flee immediately.
Wan Yan Jing was amazed, is this the big guy's childhood?
She began to think back to what she had been doing when she was five years old, and it was hard to look back on.
Here, Xiao Huo Xiang only said one sentence, and successfully lived in He Xiucheng's county mansion.
He said to the little guy who was sitting next to him, "Uncle, I saw your daughter-in-law and the porter biting their lips in the grass that day. ”
The little guy had long realized that he was being cuckolded, but his daughter-in-law had served the young grandmother before, and she was very talkative in the house.
He wants to live on his daughter-in-law's relationship, and he is angry that his daughter-in-law is entangled with others, and he is most annoyed by others to talk about his nest of things.
The little guy usually bullied him a lot, but at this time he habitually pushed Huo Xiang to the ground and was about to kick it.
He didn't kick it, but was stopped by Ke Xiucheng and others who arrived in time.
dared to beat people in front of him, this little baby without a grandfather didn't know what it would be like to be bullied when he went back, Ke Xiu immediately decided to take Huo Xiang back to the county government, and then find a good family for Huo Xiang to send out when this matter was over.
Ke Xiucheng, who was born in Jinshi, is young, but he is unusually steady and serious.
He carefully checked every file, personally visited the streets and alleys, inquired about things related to Liu Jiazhuang and Lu Shengbao, and even did not let go of gossip and scandal.
It really made him find out a lot of things.
Liu Guangtai, the head of Liujiazhuang, was originally the governor of Chengzhou in Wei State, and returned to his ancestral land after returning to his hometown and built a Liujiazhuang for the elderly.
Liu Guangtai is very rich.
Ke Xiucheng discovered that the former governor had three rice villages, two cloth villages, and one money village in Tan County alone, and it was common for him to privately raise prices and release high-interest printing money. The business even involved some big people in Beijing.
But his external image is very simple, benevolent, and Liujiazhuang is not magnificent, just an ordinary house.
Continuing to investigate, Ke Xiucheng found out that the matchmaker between Liu Guangtai and the big man in Beijing was Lu Shengbao.
Lu Shengbao came to Liujiazhuang four years ago, it would coincide with a hundred years of drought and famine in various places.
Because Lu Shengbao is a rare scholar who can read and write, his status in the house has been rising, and he was later trusted by Liu Guangtai and helped him do a lot of "big things".
Ke Xiucheng suspected that Lu Shengbao was involved in the transaction between Liu Guangtai and the big people in Beijing before he unfortunately died.
This is a big deal, the big man in Beijing is a corrupt official and traitor hated by everyone, but he is careful and has never been caught.
And this seemingly small murder may become the fuse for the defeat of the traitor.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, although Ke Xiucheng is thin, his back is very straight.
His too obvious investigation angered the Liu family, and he received Liu Guangtai's post and was called over to threaten him.
Ke Xian Ling lost his temper after returning from Liu's Mansion.
"What do you guess Liu Guangtai told me? He even told me that young people still have to know how to advance and retreat, and don't be so curious about everything, otherwise it will be too rigid and easy to break! Ke Xiucheng was so angry that he almost smashed the teapot, but he was poor and had no money to replace it with a new one, so he had to raise it high and put it down gently.
The scholar who followed Ke Xiucheng from childhood to adulthood sat on the side and swallowed melon seeds, and persuaded him unconcernedly: "Son, you are now the old lady of the county, don't be like them." If you want me to see this, since Liu Guangtai can't be provoked, forget it, you have been investigating for so many days, and you haven't found any evidence of their crime, right? ”
"Well, this is a good family I have been looking for in the past few days, I have inquired carefully, this couple, who have no children for eight years, and the family is in the porcelain business, which is quite solid. This old couple, in their fifties, lost their children at an early age, and Grandma's cooking was particularly delicious. And these, Childe has time to take a look......"
The scholar inadvertently raised his head, his voice suddenly froze, and he stumbled a little stumbling: "Ah...... Ah Xiang, you're here too, have you heard it, or are you going to pick it yourself? ”
Ke Xiucheng walked to the stage, but saw Xiao Huo Xiang come in and bow to him twice, but in a few days, the child seemed to have grown up suddenly, and his immature voice was small but very powerful:
"Thank you, my lord's kindness, Ah Xiang is unforgettable, grandpa's hatred, it's better to stop here. When I grow up, I will finish it myself, and I don't have to worry about adults anymore. ”
After saying that, he kowtowed.
wanted to knock again, but Ke Xiucheng stopped him.
The young county magistrate smiled a little bitterly: "You call me an adult, but I am ashamed of this position, I still call my brother the same as before." ”
Ke Xiucheng thought of his young brother who died young, if that younger brother could grow up safely, he would probably be about the same age as Xiao Huo Xiang.
The story should have ended here, Xiao Huo Xiang was adopted and raised by an elderly couple, and Ke Xianling was sharpened step by step in the trade-offs and pros and cons of officialdom.
But Wan Yanjing knew that the story would not end like this, and she had already found some patterns in her dreams.
If a dream does not reach Huo Xiang's most unforgettable moment, it will not dissipate.
In the dream, the white horse passed by, and Wan Yanjing only felt that after a short moment, the scene in front of her seemed to be fast-forward to a few months later.
One ordinary afternoon, Ke Xiucheng came to the place where Xiao Huo Xiang lived after being adopted, he stood at the door, looking at the young child in the door with a complicated expression.
Huo Xiang's adoptive parents have gone out to work, and he is the only one in the family.
Xiao Huo Xiang happily invited Ke Xian Ling to sit down, he cushioned his little feet, skillfully took down the herbal tea prepared at home from the stove, poured it in the tea bowl and handed it to Ke Xian Ling.
Ke Xiucheng took the tea bowl, but he didn't mean to drink it, he looked at the herbal tea and told Xiao Huo Xiang a story.
"There is a group of people called dwarfs, who are as short as young children, but who have insight and wisdom that are not inferior to those of adults. They have a disability, so they have a twisted mind, and they like to pretend to be children and be adopted, and then kill people when they are unprepared......"
Xiao Huo Xiang chuckled in his heart, but his face was completely silent, he wrinkled his little nose, and looked like he was palpitating: "This is too terrible!" ”
He shouted and was afraid, covered his eyes with his little hands, and secretly looked at Ke County Ling from between his fingers: "What happened later, was he caught?" Brother, you go on. ”
Ke Xian Ling looked directly at Huo Xiang, and there was some sadness in his voice: "The official behind me doesn't know, the official is still inexperienced, and I have only seen this description in the book." Ah Xiang, you are the first dwarf I have met? ”
