As soon as Zhao Qian's words fell, I saw that the curtain made of blue silk cloth at the door was lifted, and a man came out of it, this man was in his forties, with a square face, and his face was uneven. As soon as this man saw Zhao Qian, he immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Qian'er, you're back!"

Qian'er also saw this person and said happily: "Second uncle, I'm back!"

It turned out that this man was Zhao Qian's second uncle Li Jun, and when he/her mother gave birth to him, she hoped that he could join the army and eat national food. It's a pity that in those years, the world was peaceful, and the emperor let a large number of soldiers retire and return to farming. Li Jun has always regretted that until now, he has not been able to join the army. Li Jun's eldest brother has a more domineering name, called Li Crazy Dragon. It's quite scary to hear this name, but in fact, he himself is a lame man, and now he is almost fifty years old, and he has not been able to marry a daughter-in-law, and he has been single until now.

After Li Jun walked out, the door curtain was lifted immediately, and an old grandmother came out from inside. Although this old woman is seventy or eighty years old, she is still energetic on crutches.

When Zhao Qian saw this old grandmother, she shouted: "Grandma!" The doppelganger pounced and plunged into the old grandmother's arms.

"Qian'er. My hard-working grandson. Zhao Qian's grandmother also hugged her, and the grandparents hugged and cried. The cries of the two people, and the others saw it, and their hearts were sour. Qiu Ju couldn't stop wiping her tears with her hands and crying quietly.

Just when everyone was sad, the curtain was lifted again, and this time a man of about fifty years old came out. The man had a wooden crutch between his right arm and walked with a limp. Needless to say, this is naturally Zhao Qian's uncle Li Qilong.

"Mother, Qian'er finally came back, and I saw that you caused her to cry like a tearful person. Although Li Madlong complained about his mother, his heart was also sour. He couldn't wait to find a corner where no one was there at this moment and cry bitterly. Although he is unlucky, he is still relatively lucky compared to the girl who died early, that is, Zhao Qian's mother Li Yangyang. At least he has lived under the shade of his mother since he was a child, and Li Yangyang has always felt guilty about his sister when he was a child when he entered the palace to work in the palace to support his family. I was going to make up for my sister, but before she could implement all this, she died. Whenever he thinks of this, Li Qilong is always very sad in his heart.

After listening to Li Qilong's words, Zhao Qian raised the head buried in her grandmother's arms, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Uncle, why did you come out too?"

Li Qilong smiled reluctantly and said, "If I don't come out again, you ancestors and grandchildren are crying, and we are from ten miles and eight towns, and we are about to flood." ”

Hearing what her uncle said, Zhao Qian was a little embarrassed, pulled Li Madlong's arm, and said coquettishly: "Uncle......"

"Haha......" Li Madlong laughed, stretched out his hand and stroked Zhao Qian's hair affectionately, and said, "Little girl, grow up." ”

Only then did Li Qilong notice the little fat man and others behind Zhao Qian, Qiu Ju he had seen before, but the little fat man and the two sedan chair men were unfamiliar faces. Li Qilong hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhao Qian: "Are they all from your palace?"

Zhao Qian nodded, and before she could answer, at this time, a child ran in from outside the door. The child was eight or nine years old, dressed in colorful clothes and had a whip on his head. The small appearance is very delicate, and it looks very attractive. Strangely, the child's face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, and his body sometimes trembled uncontrollably.

This child is Li Jun's single son Li Fei, who is only eight years old this year, and he goes to school in the private school in the north entrance of the village, and now it is time for him to go home from school.

"Xiaofei, what's wrong with you?" Li Jun also saw that something was wrong with his son, and asked anxiously.

"Wow......" Li Fei heard his father's inquiry, and cried bitterly. This cry is simply earth-shattering, as if all the suppressed and eventful emotions are vented. Li Fei cried, and the rest of the people were stunned.

"Xiaofei, what's wrong?" asked Li Jun, who loved his son, while he looked his son up and down. It seems that he wants to see from his son whether he is fighting with others.

Li Fei sobbed and said, "Dad...... I'm at the entrance of the village...... The small river at the entrance of the village...... In front of the Water Temple...... In a wooden box...... Seeing a dead man......"

As soon as he heard this, Li Jun's face suddenly changed. There are only 300 people in these mountain villages, and there are more than 1,000 people in Shanghai. The people in the village have always lived in harmony, and even petty theft rarely happens. When his son talked about the murder case, he couldn't help but worry.

"You guys are watching the kids at home, I'll go and see. Li Jun said, striding out.

"I'm going to check it out, too. With that, the little fat man followed Li Jun, and the two of them walked outside together. The two palanquin men didn't speak, Zhao Qian and Qiu Ju were girls, and they were too timid to follow. As for Zhao Qian's grandmother and Li Fei, as well as the lame Li Qilong, they are old, weak, sick and disabled, so naturally it is even more inconvenient to pass. So, these people watched Li Jun and the little fat man walk out of the house.

The two of them walked slowly and arrived next to the water temple. This water temple is enshrined in different places from the dragon king, Mazu and the like, and here is dedicated to the great god Gonggong. The temple is not big, it is a small square temple, and you can walk to the end in five steps. The little fat man didn't go to the temple, but only glanced at the serious and domineering statue sitting inside at the door. Not far from the water temple, I saw a wooden box. The box was only three feet high, and before I could get to it, I could already see the lid of the wooden box, which was discarded aside. If it is according to what Li Fei said, then this lid should be opened by him.

The little fat man and Li Jun cautiously approached the wooden box, and as soon as they got closer, they saw that there was indeed a red corner of clothes inside the wooden box. When I walked in, I saw that it was indeed a woman. The woman didn't look very old, twenty-four or five years old. The appearance is quite delicate, but the face is blue and purple, and it is full of scars. Her eyes were wide open, bulging out, and she looked a little terrifying. Obviously, this is a woman who does not look blind.

Li Jun was also very frightened when he saw that there was indeed a death here. He said to the little fat man: "You watch here first, don't let the wandering dog eat the corpse." After saying that, he ran to the county government in a panic. On the way to run, maybe he was nervous, coupled with the uneven potholes, Li Jun threw a big heel. By the time he arrived at the yamen, he was unkempt and disheveled.

Let's talk about the little fat man, after Li Jun reported the case and left, he circled around the corpse, and had the intention to open the box to check the corpse, but he was worried that the county officials would come later, saying that he messed with the corpse and destroyed the scene. Therefore, the little fat man resisted the curiosity in his heart and did not open the box. However, even if he didn't open the box, he could see some clues. The corpse's eyes were bulging, its face was purple, and there was a noticeable bruise on its throat, which may have been killed by the corpse. The female corpse was curled up, and the abandoned corpse was placed in a sitting position. Her arm drooped weakly, and Qi Wenyuan found a silver bracelet from the naked arm of the female corpse.

Before the little fat man could take a closer look, Li Jun had already stumbled over with the servants. Li Jun may have been fighting his legs because of fear in his heart. Behind him, followed by more than a dozen catchers dressed in the clothes of the officials, the red clothes and the treasure sword, but also looked mighty. Seeing them, the little fat man remembered the time when he was a fast catcher in Lianyun City.

Behind the catcher, there are four palanquin bearers, carrying a big red sedan chair. When they got closer, the sedan chair fell, and a man came out of it. This man was dressed in an official robe, a black gauze hat, and long boots. He is not tall, but he has a fat head and big ears. He is the local county official, and his real name is Zhou Baqi. Because he scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, and used all means. The local people secretly gave him a nickname, called "Zhou Papi". As soon as the little fat man saw this man, he didn't have a good impression of him. There was such a big thing as a murder case, and the county official even put up a shelf, sat in a big sedan chair with four people, and came over in a leisurely manner.

The county magistrate walked to the wooden box, and when the little fat man saw this, he hurriedly took a few steps back. The county magistrate looked into the wooden box, saw the female corpse dead, frowned, and subconsciously covered his nose with his hand.

"Zhang San and Li Si, you two come over and carry the body out. The county magistrate casually greeted the two catchers behind him.

"Yes. Two men dressed in fast-catching clothes stood up and walked over to the wooden box. Zhang San and Li Si dragged their hands and lifted their legs to drag the female corpse out of the box. Seeing this, the little fat man frowned, and stopped talking.

The corpse was lying flat on the ground, and the county magistrate glanced at it casually and said, "It must be that this woman is alone and rushing, encountering robbers and blocking the road to rob." Later, it may have been about to rape/rape, but the woman resolutely refused to comply, and was brutally killed by the robbers. ”

The next to the catch is about to listen, one after another, they send sycophants, saying that the old man is wise and martial, and the reason for the case can be seen at a glance. The eldest lord is wise and martial, comparable to Song Ci in ancient times. The county magistrate listened to the flattering words, and his face was proud, and he looked very useful.

The little fat man couldn't listen to it anymore, and he couldn't help but interject: "In my opinion, this is definitely not a simple roadblock robbery and murder case. ”

As soon as the little fat man said this, the county magistrate realized that there was a strange little fat man at the scene. This county lord has always been self-respecting in the local area. Now, someone actually refuted him to his face, and he was very unhappy, glanced at the little fat man, and said coldly, "Dead fat man, how do you know that it is not a roadblock robbery and murder? Could it be that you killed this woman?"
