Xiao Huai'an said slowly: "I thought it was very strange, so I stepped forward to ask, and the official at the door had a very bad attitude and told me that this little boy had been here for a few days, and he kept saying that his father intended to kill his mother, but his mother was fine now, and the so-called father wanted to kill his mother, but he himself was saying, who knows if he was cranky."

The little boy lived in a village called Giethoorn on the outskirts of Fengyang County, which was halfway up the mountainside, and it used to take most of the day.

It is their greatest mercy to tolerate him crying at the gate of the county government for a few days and not to drive him away. ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned and asked, "And then?" ”

I don't blame the people of the county government for this matter.

Don't look at the county government just to manage a county, but no matter what dynasty, it is the most tiring at the grassroots level, the county government has so many people, but they have to manage all aspects, and they want to work hard for a child who doesn't know the truth or falsehood, and normal people are unwilling.

Xiao Huai'an tapped his index finger on the table and said, "I stepped forward to ask the child, what the specific situation was, the child was quite alert, and he didn't want to tell me at first, so I raised the name of A-Niang and said that I was the apprentice of Xu Niangzi."

A-Niang's name is really useful, and the child's eyes immediately lit up, and he told me the matter like a bean. ”

When he said "A-Niang's name is really good", Xiao Huaian also blinked playfully.

Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh.

He said that he felt that during this time, his father had been looking at his aunt unpleasantly, often saying that it was useless to raise them, and that the rice grain was wasted, and his aunt had encountered many strange things during this time, and almost accidentally fell into the trap arranged by the hunter while plowing in the field, but this trap was not claimed by the villagers;

When he came home from farm work, the neighbor's originally tame donkey suddenly launched a frenzy and pounced on A-Niang, but fortunately, someone happened to remind him in time;

When A-Niang went to the river to wash clothes, oil was poured on the stone she frequented, but fortunately he was with his A-Niang at the time and found it in time, otherwise A-Niang stepped on the stone unguardedly and would definitely fall into the river, and he A-Niang ...... Impermeable. ”

Xu Jing couldn't help but say thoughtfully: "He thinks that his father made these things out in order to kill his aunt?" ”

Xiao Huaian nodded and said, "That's right, I asked him how his father and aunt had a relationship before, and he said that his aunt was bought back by his grandfather with a donkey because his family was poor, and he had no feelings for his aunt and his aunt.

I asked him again, did his father beat and scolded his mother, or during this time, his father and mother had any contradictions, he was silent for a long time and said, no, but he insisted, his father definitely wanted to kill his mother, he wanted to protect his mother, and said that his father would hate his mother so much, all because of him.

However, I wanted to be more specific, and he was reluctant to say that. ”

Xu Jing thought for a while and said, "Their family, just one child?" ”

Xiao Huai'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "Yes." ”

"How does his daddy treat him?"

Xiao Huai'an smiled, "I said I'll go home with him to see, along the way, although he didn't tell me more specific things, but complained a lot about his father, saying that as soon as he was born, his father didn't like him, and his grandparents didn't like him either, and his grandmother even wanted to sell him directly because the family was poor, and A-Niang broke his body when she gave birth to him, and he didn't have any other children after that, so his father would hate him and A-Niang more and more." ”

He ...... Looks like a normal child? ”

Xiao Huaian nodded, "It's normal, and even very articulate." ”

Xu Jing couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Long laugh, do you want to test A-Niang?" It's been a long time since I've felt this feeling. ”

When this kid first came into contact with the investigation of the case and the murder, his enthusiasm was very high, and he read almost all the cases in ancient and modern China and abroad.

During that time, it became a favorite game between mother and son.

Xu Jing paused and said slowly: "That child, but it's actually a girl?" ”

So a family that is so poor that they can't afford to raise their children is willing to buy a daughter-in-law with a donkey, it must be impossible to just buy it back and put it up.

The most fundamental reason for them is that most people have an obsession - passing on the ancestry.

In this case, why did the daughter-in-law finally give birth to a son to their family, but everyone in the family didn't like him? The child's grandmother is even going to sell him?

Why did the child say that because A-Niang injured her body when she gave birth to him, she couldn't give birth again, so A-Dad hated them more and more?

There is only one explanation for everything, that child is not the son they have in their hearts and minds to carry on the lineage, but a girl.

In the eyes of most people, only daughters are the existence of wasted rice in their eyes.

Xiao Huai'an suddenly smiled.

Xu Jing continued: "Those so-called traps to kill his aunt, in fact, he made up it himself, right? ”

Xiao Huai'an was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "How did A-Niang know?" ”

Although he also sensed something wrong at the time, he only came to this conclusion after following the girl to their village to investigate the field.

Xu Jing smiled slightly and said: "The traps he said are too child's play, if an adult man really has the intention of killing, there are 110,000 ways to easily kill his wife, and, judging from the several wife murder cases I have investigated in the past, because men's strength is naturally greater than that of women, when a man has the idea of killing his wife, he will often use very simple and crude killing methods."

Murder ...... It's the complete opposite, because women are not as powerful as men, and when women want to kill their husbands, they can only use roundabout methods, such as poisoning, setting traps, or even finding helpers.

Moreover, the child is very sure that his father wants to kill his mother, and there are only two possibilities for her attitude, one is that she is very prejudiced against her father, and the other is that she knows very well who the person who actually did those things is. ”

Xiao Huaian couldn't help but admire: "It's worthy of Ah Niang, I am really far from Ah Niang." That's right, when I arrived at Giethoorn, I found that the girl had done all the work herself, and the reason was ...... Her father disliked her aunt and couldn't have any more children, so he wanted to sell their mother and daughter and marry another daughter-in-law.

She hated her father very much, and was afraid that she and her mother would live a life worse than death in the future, so she came up with this method and wanted the people in the government to arrest her father.

This idea is very naïve, even a little naïve, but ...... That was the best thing a desperate kid could think of. ”

Xiao Huai paused and said, "Along the way, I have actually seen many human tragedies, and I have also seen many people struggling in suffering, but this child's unwillingness to give in and compromise in the face of suffering still shocked me. She is like a flower that grows stubbornly in the barren land, with amazing vitality.

At that moment, I suddenly understood why Daddy and Auntie always wanted to help more people, and I sincerely felt that if I was in this position, I couldn't do more for them, but it was in vain to give me the preferential treatment God gave me. ”

Xu Jing looked at the child in front of him with soft eyes, reached over and patted the back of his hand gently, and said, "Long smile, you have indeed grown up." ”

Xiao Huai'an's face flushed slightly, lowered his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "What doesn't grow up, such a simple truth, but it took me a year to understand that I was too stupid." Ah Niang, I want to participate in next year's imperial examination, instead of staying in place in confusion and thinking about what I will do in the future, it is better to do what I can do first.

In the end, I want to use my limited ability to help more people, and this idea will not change. ”

Xu Jing looked at him with a sigh.

This child, growing up when she and Xiao Yi were at their most famous, he may not have felt it himself, he actually had some pressure.

Because you have requirements for yourself, you will be stressed.

He has been chasing her and Xiao Yi's backs from behind, but he has ignored more important things.

Luckily, he was a smart kid and had gotten back what he had been missing.

The corners of Xu Jing's mouth raised slightly, and she said sincerely: "Long smile, no matter what you will become in the future, you will always be A-Niang's proudest child." ”

The corners of Xiao Huai'an's mouth twitched slightly, smiled, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, A-Niang, before I left, I gave the mother and daughter a sum of money, and told them that if they really can't live at home, they can come to Xijing to find my master at any time."

Niang shouldn't mind that they occupy a small position in your medical school, right? ”

Xu Jing: "......"

Dare to say that he wants to help others, but let his mother help.

She couldn't help laughing angrily, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, my son has spoken in person, but there is no place, and A-Niang has to squeeze out a place for them."

If you can figure it out, A-Niang will be relieved.

You just came back today, so you should rest early, and A-Niang won't bother you. ”

With that, he stood up.

Xiao Huaian also stood up and sent her out.

When he was about to leave the room, Xu Jing paused, suddenly turned around, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I forgot to say something, long smile, welcome home." ”

Xiao Huai'an was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Huaian watched his mother's figure disappear at the end of the corridor before closing the door gently.

But who knew that as soon as his old mother turned the corner, she saw her old father standing in the corridor, with one hand behind her back, looking up at the moon.

Xu Jing: "......"

couldn't help laughing: "If you care about your son, you care about your son, what do you pretend to admire the moon." ”

Yat Siu: "......"

"Don't worry."

Xu Jing walked over and said slowly: "Your son has inherited the minds of the two of us, but he is smart, so he won't do such a thing as a mediocrity and disturbing himself, I think if we don't work hard, we will be caught up by our son." ”

Xiao Yi lowered his hand, took his wife's hand, and chuckled, "In the future, it will always be the children's world, do you still want to compete with your son?" ”

Xu Jing glanced at him, with a spicy look, "Xiao Yanci, you are the prime minister of a country, don't always look like you have a wife and children and everything is enough, okay?" A little self-motivated, okay? ”

Servants who followed them: "......"

Lord Lang is not self-motivated enough?

In the past few years, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have been tossed to death and back to life by Lord Lang!

A man who can make civil and military officials scare and sleep well at night with a casual frown can not have a little majesty in the court at this time, holding his wife's hand, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Yes, Madame is right." ”

"As a husband, I will think about how to be more self-motivated tomorrow."

"Speaking of which, I thought that the interval between the morning pilgrimage once every six days is too long, so it is better to propose that the saint should change it to an early pilgrimage once every three days."

Xu Jing: "Well, that sounds good. ”

Servants: "......"

Not to mention the civil and military officials, I'm afraid that the saints will thank you!

On spring nights, the warm breeze blows, as if even the wind carries a fresh and pleasant fragrance of flowers.

The couple held hands in this way, stepped on the bright moonlight, and slowly walked towards their yard.

Like countless days and nights before it.

It is also like the future, every day that accompanies you.
