Volume 4: The Tribulation of Middle-earth Chapter 18: Sisterly Differences, Evil Retribution for the Wicked

"Uncle Shi, you said that it has been more than ten years, can you still find evidence?"

"Evidence? After three military disasters here, even if there is evidence, it will be annihilated?"

"Didn't you tell me to leave me alone?"

"Well, you are nosy, you can't solve it yourself and cause me trouble, I'm in charge of things, I can solve it. ”

Thanks to Liu Mian's reputation, Liu Zhenquan and Liu Xin'er's living conditions have also been greatly improved, and the shopkeeper admires Liu Mian as a person, and deliberately finds tea that he refuses to drink more to entertain the two. Even Xiao Er often waits at the door of Liu Zhenquan, and his name is upright.

On the second day, Liu Zhenquan used the inn as the lobby and asked Di Yusheng, and the few residents in the city came to hear the trial, and they were all curious about how Liu Wenzheng's clan brother could try the old case more than ten years ago.

Di Yusheng came to the inn early in the morning, and today's Di Yusheng specially freshened up and dressed up, although the clothes were still old, it was obvious that he had washed them that night, and his hair was also combed neatly, and he was no longer unkempt before.

Liu Zhenquan said softly: "Everyone knows the facts of the case before, but I still hope you can repeat it." ”

"Student, Di Yusheng took his wife to his father-in-law's house that day, everything was normal, at night his wife said that he wanted to rest with his sister who had not seen him for many days, because I would not take the child, so I handed the child over to his deceased wife Zhao, when I got up in the morning, I found Zhao lying next to me, the body was separated, and the child also fell to death in front of the bed, I held a butcher knife, and my body was full of blood. ”

Liu Zhenquan stopped him from talking any further and asked, "Are you saying that you didn't know anything and slept until dawn, and when you got up, you saw your wife dead in front of the bed?"

After speaking, Liu Zhenquan got up, pinched Di Yusheng's hands and arms, and said, "How many feet is the knife in your hand?"

"Four-inch dagger. ”

Liu Zhenquan asked, "Does anyone know about this case?" Is this the situation Di Yusheng described?"

The shopkeeper said: "Daoist Liu, when I went to hear the trial, the physical evidence in the lobby was a four-inch dagger. ”

"Hahaha, Di Yusheng, take off your shirt. ”

Although he was puzzled Di Yusheng still took off his shirt, Liu Zhenquan pointed to Di Yusheng's arm and said: "This person's wrist bones are not thick, obviously he has not practiced martial arts, his body muscles and bones are relaxed, and he doesn't have much strength at all, he can't cut off his wife's head at all, and who will use a dagger to cut off people's heads?"

Everyone said yes, and at this time, someone asked suspiciously: "Dao Chief, he is covered in blood, can't he be cut slowly with a dagger?"

Liu Zhenquan said: "Last night, I asked the shopkeeper to find the old man who did the autopsy, this person lived in the front of Yizhuang, and he told me that he checked that Zhao's head was cut off with a sharp weapon, and the incision was smooth. ”

"Di Yusheng, in order to restore your innocence, are you willing to take us to examine your wife's bones?"

Di Yusheng said: "If you can return my innocence, I am willing." But I was in a prison cell, and I didn't know where my wife's body was buried. ”

I was trying to show off the knowledge in Song Tixing's "Collection of Grievances", and it was suddenly interrupted, which was really bad.

"Is this difficult?"

"By the way, I heard that your father left you a lot of business, didn't anyone take care of you when you went to prison?"

"It was a student in prison, my father-in-law and mother-in-law hated me abnormally, and I didn't know where the family business went in prison. ”

"Blind dates, who knows the whereabouts of Di Yusheng's family business?"

"I know. A disabled person with gray hair walked out, "Back then, I was a small official in the yamen, in charge of household registration, and Di Yusheng's shop and land were all occupied by his brother-in-law, saying that it was to compensate his parents. ”

Liu Zhenquan said: "Since the person died in the Zhao family's mansion, can the Zhao family be investigated?"

"Sir, as the bitter master, Zhao's parents did not investigate. ”

"Although I can't conclude today who killed Di Yusheng's wife, do you still think that Di Yusheng, a scholar who can't lift his hands and can't carry on his shoulders, can kill his wife and children?"

"It's really impossible to listen to what the gentleman said. ”

"Yes, there are really a lot of mysteries about this case being dissected by Mr. ”

Liu Zhenquan said: "Can you tolerate the poor road to visit and give you a satisfactory answer, don't treat Di Yusheng as a villain who killed his wife and children during this time." ”

The Taoist said. ”

When everyone agreed, Liu Zhenquan said to Di Yusheng: "Now that the grievances have been washed away, you don't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid anymore, go back and live well." ”

......

On the second day, Liu Zhenquan asked how to go to Zhao's house, and went to visit alone, Liu Xin'er was very unhappy in the house, when everyone knew that Liu Xin'er was Liu Wenzheng's daughter-in-law, there were always people who came to visit, and after Liu Zhenquan cleared his grievances for Di Yusheng, more people hoped to meet the pair of uncles and nephews.

"Annoyed to death, Uncle Liu ran out by himself to hide and leave me here alone, it doesn't make sense, and he said that he would take me to see the things of the world. ”

"Lao Yang, you said that I secretly ran to see the excitement, Uncle Shi shouldn't blame it. ”

......

Liu Zhenquan came to Zhaojiazhuang, there should have been two or three thousand households here, and there were not many people living in the chaos at all, and he met an old woman and asked: "This layman, who is hungry and thirsty when he passes through this place on a poor road, wants to set a bowl of water to drink." ”

The old woman trembled and said, "This Dao chief, wait a while." "I took a gourd scoop and scooped a scoop of water for Liu Zhenquan.

Liu Zhenquan chatted with the old woman about this clear water.

"How long is the layman going this year?"

"Fifty-three. ”

"Oh, I've reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, why don't you go out and hide after the land of Longxing has suffered a military disaster?"

"The old woman is half cut into the ground, so it's better to bury it here. ”

"It's hard to leave your homeland. ”

"The layman has been here for many years, can you know that Zhao Yuanwai is here?"

"Well, don't talk about it. Every good person in this old Zhao family. ”

"What can you say?"

"There are no good people in the old Zhao family, the eldest daughter was still kind-hearted, but she married the cunning Zhou family, the Zhou family is famous for squeezing oil in the stone, I don't know how many wrongs have been made, the younger daughter has a bitter and mean marriage to the Di family in the city, and then I don't know why the young master of the Di family killed his wife and son, according to what I said, the young master of the Di family knows how many green hats the little lady Zhao brought him, but since the young master of the Di family went to prison, all his property was embezzled by the Zhao and Zhou families. ”

"And such a thing?"

"Who in the same village doesn't know who?"

"Are the Jushi and Zhao Zhou families still there?"

"The Zhao and Zhou families are long gone, and the soldiers are reluctant to give up their treasures when they cross the border. The compound that was destroyed by fire in front of it was the former Zhao family. ”
