Chapter 213: The Night of Tanabata
Lin Fanghe asked curiously, "Where did Shen Zhuangshi start with this?"
Shen Wanshan sighed and said, "My cousin Chen Baozhen was born beautiful since she was a child, and she is a very proud girl. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info her father is a private school teacher. At that time, when the adults met, they all said that Baozhen would definitely find a good in-law in the future, even if she didn't say that she was a princess and princess, at least she would marry a rich man. Unexpectedly......"
After a while, he spit out a surprised sentence: "Unexpectedly, I ended up marrying a craftsman covered in mud and water?"
Lin Fanghe smiled and said lightly: "Shinong, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams, all of which are the foundation of the country, are indispensable. ”
"That's what I said, but who doesn't want to climb a high branch?" Shen Wanshan was obviously angry.
"It seems that Shen Zhuangshi is not optimistic about your cousin's marriage. Lin Fanghe picked up the teacup and took another sip.
"She seeks her man, and I teach me punches and kicks. What's the matter?" Shen Wanshan looked blank, sighed deeply, and said, "It's just that looking at Baozhen's life now, I feel a little uncomfortable for her." ”
Inspector Fangzheng interjected: "I only know that Master Shen is good at fighting and has superb martial arts, but I can't imagine that he is still a lover who knows how to pity fragrance and cherish jade." ”
Shen Wanshan smiled, realized that the words were far away, and coughed dryly. He also took two sips of the teacup and continued: "It is said that the matter between relatives should not be said by me. Alas, I'm just complaining about people. You also know that this home life, firewood, rice, oil and salt, which one does not cost money......"
Lin Fanghe interrupted him: "Well said, why did this suddenly go to money again." ”
Shen Wanshan sighed and said, "No, no." Chen Baozhen's family has a child who is dragging his feet, and her husband doesn't earn much on weekdays, so when the family is in distress, he comes to me to borrow money. So far, I have given them at least sixty or seventy taels of silver. ”
Lin Fanghe put down the teacup and felt strange: "Chen Baozhen came to you to borrow money?"
"Borrowed, and more than once. Shen Wanshan replied.
"Did she come alone, or did they come together?"
"Chen Baozhen one. She never brought men to see me. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's her psychology that makes her a mistake, Baozhen is a woman who is strong in everything and refuses to lose to others. ”
"I've experienced this before. Lin Fanghe nodded and said with a smile, "Bitter and domineering, it makes people dare not parry." ”
Shen Wanshan empathized: "Behind the extreme pride, there must be a hidden opposite of it, extreme inferiority. ”
Lin Fanghe joked and said, "It seems that you still know her?"
Shen Wanshan let out a long breath and said, "Maybe she and I belong to the same kind of people, and we will never be satisfied with the status quo, but we can't achieve our ultimate goal. The so-called heart is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper......"
Fang Zheng corrected and said: "Master Shen's current reputation and career are in full swing, and the wind is smooth, how can he still say such depressing words." ”
"Casually sigh, fate is unfair. The two of them laughed. Shen Wanshan stopped, his eyes raised.
Lin Fanghe asked: "Chen Baozhen embroidered a silk handkerchief for Yefu, which is the job you found for her, right?"
Shen Wanshan replied respectfully: "Not bad." I know that my cousin has been ingenious since he was a child, so he specially recruited a job of thorning flowers in silk handkerchiefs. Although the income is not much, as long as the hands are diligent, there is silver coming in every month, which is not a small supplement for an ordinary family. ”
Lin Fanghe looked at him silently and asked gently, "On the night of the seventh day of the first month of this month, where was Shen Zhuangshi?"
"My lord, are you taking me as a suspect?" Shen Wanshan was a little emotional.
"Routine questioning. Lin Fanghe said, "Everyone has the obligation to cooperate with the government to investigate the case, and Master Shen is well aware of the righteousness and must understand this truth better." ”
"Is this what you just said about the disappearance?"
"Exactly. ”
"Who's missing, who's missing? It won't be Chen Baozhen......" Shen Wanshan looked a little nervous.
Lin Fanghe shook his head and suddenly said sternly: "The missing person is not Chen Baozhen, but her husband Lu Gensheng. We suspect there could be murder in this!"
"Murder?" Shen Wanshan was a little stunned all of a sudden.
"So you want to tell us about what happened on the night of the seventh day of the seventh month, where did you go, what did you do, and who can prove it?"
"I remembered. Shen Wanshan patted his head and exclaimed, "I didn't go anywhere that day, I just drank in my own martial arts hall." ”
Lin Fanghe nodded slightly, and asked again: "After more than ten days, how can you blurt out and remember it so clearly?"
Shen Wanshan replied: "That night was the night of Qixi Festival, the day when the Cowherd Star and the Vega Star met in the sky. So I have a deep memory. The apprentices bought a lot of wine and meat, ran to the martial arts hall, and everyone set up a table in the courtyard, laughing and drinking for fun. By the time the feast is gone, I'm afraid it's midnight......"
"And then you didn't go anywhere else?"
"I'm drunk, it's so late, where else can I go?" Shen Wanshan began to feel that the situation was serious, and tried his best to push back.
Lin Fanghe asked again: "Then Chen Baozhen came to you recently, did you mention the things between their husband and wife, such as quarrels, disputes, and contradictions?"
"No, no. Besides, since the embroidery, she rarely comes to my martial arts hall, if you don't believe it, you can ask my apprentices, they can all testify. ”
"Okay, then don't bother. Shen Zhuangshi, tomorrow you ask the apprentice who drank with you on the night of Qixi to go to the yamen to make up a written confession. ”
"Hmm. Shen Wanshan nodded.
Lin Fanghe stood up and took his leave.
As soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a woman with a long figure and a beautiful face standing at the door of the living room. Shen Wanshan hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and whispered, "Why did you come out? Go back to the room, your illness is not yet cured." ”
The woman seemed to be blind and did not hear him at all.
Lin Fanghe saw that she was about thirty years old, with a tall nose, crimson cheeks, and clear lips and teeth. A pair of jade pendants flickered under his ears. But there was no expression on his calm face, and his eyes were dry and lacklustre.
Wearing a lotus lotus silk dress.
A purple silk belt girdles.
Shen Wanshan whispered: "This is my wife Ye, she is a little mentally deranged, and the subordinates didn't look at it for a while, so let her come out and run around." Don't blame the county magistrate. ”
The woman paid no attention to it, and only stared forward in a daze, occasionally raising her long, delicate fingers to slowly stroke her long black and shiny hair.
Lin Fanghe glanced at the strange woman with deep sympathy, and then said to Shen Wanshan: "Take good care of Mrs. Zun, we don't have to send each other here." (To be continued.) )
