The little fat man's eyes lit up, as if he was walking in the vast rainy night, and he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. The little fat man hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you know this female corpse?"

Old man Shen glanced at the little fat man suspiciously, he didn't know what the identity of the young man in front of him was. The county magistrate is worthy of being an official for several years, he saw Old Man Shen's doubts at a glance, and hurriedly said: "Old man, this fat man is a senior official, whatever he asks you, you will answer truthfully." ”

Old man Shen didn't know how big the "senior official" in the county magistrate's mouth was, but when he saw the county magistrate's respectful appearance in front of this young man, he knew that this young man's origin was not simple. So, he said: "She is Yang Cuiling, the daughter-in-law of Shen Erdan, at the west end of our Shenjiazhuang Village." ”

The little fat man was worried that this old man Shen was dazzled, and added, "Are you sure?"

Old man Shen said: "I can't be wrong! I saw her here yesterday, why did she die here today?"

The little fat man was relieved to see that this old man Shen recognized the female corpse, and he turned his head to the county master and said, "My lord, please send someone to find the female corpse's family!"

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "Fat lord, you are tormenting the officials again, you can call me Xiao Zhou." ”

Listening to the county master's desperate flattery, the little fat man also had a lunch class.

"Li Si, you go to Shenjiazhuang again and bring the family members of the female corpse over. The county magistrate instructed Li Si, who had brought Old Man Shen back just now.

Li Si clasped his hands into fists: "Obey!" After speaking, he turned around and hurriedly left.

While waiting for Li Si to come back, the little fat man stood under a tree. The county magistrate hurriedly sent someone to bring a clean stone, which was about two feet high, and the stone also carved the chessboard of the Han realm of the Chu River. It seems that the county magistrate must have asked someone to get the chessboard where the nearby villagers often play chess. The little fat man sat on a big rock and looked around. The county magistrate stood behind the little fat man, lifted the hem of his clothes, and fanned the little fat man. In fact, now that the weather has cooled, there is no heat at all. The county master's move is nothing more than to please the little fat man. The little fat man didn't expose it, and let him do whatever he wanted.

After a while, Li Si hurriedly walked over with a group of people. There were five men and women in their twenties. When these people came closer, they took a closer look at the female corpse, and only heard one person crying "wow", and pounced on the female corpse, and cried bitterly, patting the female corpse's body and shouting: "Wife, you died so miserably! Who caused you to do this?

Needless to say, this man is Yang Cuiling's husband Shen Erdan. The men and women who came behind Shen Erdan were his two brothers and sisters-in-law. His two brothers and sisters-in-law saw their younger brother and brother-in-law crying so sadly, and their faces also showed sadness. Yang Cuiling seems to be so miserable that even those of them who are brothers and sisters-in-law can't bear to look at it anymore.

"Xiao Zhou!" the little fat man shouted, and he felt awkward in his own heart. However, the county master was very useful, and hurriedly smiled and said, "What does the fat lord have to tell the officials?"

"Ahem. The little fat man coughed twice, and then said, "You have the whole family brought to you, and I have something to ask them." ”

"Okay. The county magistrate responded, turned to a catcher and said, "Zhang San, you go and bring the whole family over." ”

"Obey!" Zhang San walked towards Shen Erdan's people. When he arrived at them, Zhang San said: "Don't cry, the county master will send you over to question!"

After Zhang San said this, Shen Erdan didn't seem to hear it, and still leaned on his daughter-in-law's corpse in pain. It was his brother and sister-in-law next to him who put him up, helped him to the county master, fell to his knees, and said directly: "Lord Qingtian, please avenge my dead daughter-in-law!"

The county magistrate shouted: "Don't be noisy, everything is under the orders of the fat adult." ”

The county magistrate seems to have some prestige in the local area, and after he said this, Shen Erdan really didn't dare to shout anymore.

The little fat man glanced at Shen Erdan, and saw that he was about twenty-four or five years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked like an honest person. Between his eyebrows, all he saw was anger and heartbreak, without a trace of panic. It seems that Yang Cuiling's death should have nothing to do with him, who is a husband.

The little fat man said, "Let me ask you, what is your wife doing, and why did she die here?"

Shen Erdan cried and said: "My wife said yesterday afternoon that she wanted to go back to her parents' house, and before leaving, she also told me that she would stay at her parents' house at night and not come back. Because my father-in-law's house is in Yangjiagou, the next village, it won't take half an hour to arrive. When she left, she said that I didn't need to send it, and I didn't care at the time. Who knows, today she will die here. My lord, you must find out the murderer and avenge my wife!" said Shen Erdan, who fell to his knees and couldn't cry.

After listening to Shen Erdan's confession, the little fat man frowned, and then he realized that this Yang Cuiling did not die at home, but died there when she returned to her parents' house. Thinking of this, the little fat man turned his head to the county master and said, "Xiao Zhou, you can send someone to bring Yang Cuiling's family over." ”

"Okay. The county magistrate answered, stretched out his hand to Zhang San, and said, "Zhang San, you go to Yangjiagou and bring Yang Cuiling's family over." ”

"Obey your orders!" Zhang San replied and left in a hurry.

Today, the government from the county lord to the government officials, all of them are very hard-working. Because there is a mysterious "fat adult" in the supervision field today, if you are not careful, you may be dismissed from your post and go home to eat your old book. If it is serious, he may be taken to prison by the "fat uncle" for acting unfavorably and in contempt of the court. Because, today, the enthusiasm of the people in the yamen is unprecedentedly high, and they are carefully coping with the orders of the "fat lord".

Soon, Yang Cuiling's family was brought to Gulai, and it was Yang Cuiling's parents and brother who came. As soon as Yang Cuiling's mother saw her daughter's body, she threw herself to the side and cried bitterly. The voice was so sad that it was really a sad person who saw tears. Although Yang Cuiling's father and brother were not as out of shape as her mother, they were also in tears and muttered to themselves in the air, as if they were talking to their dead daughter.

Let them cry for a while, and after venting the grief in their hearts, the little fat man spoke: "Bring Yang Cuiling's family over!"

"Obey!" Immediately, two people caught fast, stepped on vigorous steps, and arrived in front of Yang Cuiling's parents, and said in a threatening manner: "Don't cry first, the adults will ask you!"

Yang Cuiling's mother slowly stopped crying, her mouth was still choking, tears running down her cheeks, drop by drop to the ground, like beads with broken threads. With the support of Yang Cuiling's father and brother, her mother also walked tremblingly to the little fat man and knelt down with a pop. Because of excessive sadness, my mouth kept sobbing, and I couldn't even say the words of asking the eldest master to call the shots.

Yang Cuiling's brother came to him, saw Shen Erdan who was kneeling there, grabbed his collar, and was furious: "My family handed over my sister to you, how could she die here for no reason?"

"Bold! You dare to be so presumptuous here, you are contempting the government. If you don't let go, I'll beat you up!"

After listening to the words of the county master, Yang Cuiling's brother's attitude softened a little, and slowly loosened Shen Erdan's neckline. However, judging by the anger in his eyes, he could explode at any moment. As soon as no one stops him, he will pounce on him and fight to the death with Shen Erdan.

The little fat man listened to Yang Cuiling's brother's words, and his heart was also abrupt. According to what he said, didn't Yang Cuiling go back to her parents' house yesterday at all? Where did she go if she didn't go back to her parents' house?

The little fat man's doubt, soon Shen Erdan asked for him Shen Erdan listened to Yang Cuiling's brother's words, looked surprised, and said, "Uncle, didn't Cuiling go to you yesterday?"

"Fart!" Yang Cuiling's brother scolded: "You kid is talking nonsense, my sister hasn't been back for a month." Did you kill my sister and deliberately make up this lie?"

When Shen Erdan heard this, his heart was also half cold. If this daughter-in-law doesn't return to her parents' house, she will be responsible and suspicious on her side. If you encounter a confused official again, under torture to extract a confession, maybe you will be tortured into a confession.

"I swear, Cui Ling must not have been killed by me. If I have half a lie, the sky will thunder and thunder, and I will not die well!" Shen Erdan was furious for a while, and even said the words of the gambling curse. I just don't know if this can clear him of suspicion.

The little fat man frowned, judging from Shen Erdan's performance, he should not be a murderer. Who is this real murderer? Could it really be a halfway robbery and murder? Just when the little fat man was at a loss, he suddenly saw the bracelet on Yang Cuiling's hand, and his heart moved, knowing that this was definitely not a robbery and murder. If it is a robbery, it will definitely not let go of any property. This bracelet is so obvious that the murderer didn't take it. Obviously, the murderer's purpose was not money. Thinking of this, the little fat man asked the following people: "Usually at home, your husband's family or mother's family, and Yang Cuiling herself, do you have any grudges with others?"

The two families looked at each other, staring at each other for a while, and after a while, Shen Erdan's father said: "No one in the township can afford some friction. But these are all minor contradictions, and there is no need to kill. ”

The little fat man frowned, it seemed that this clue was broken again, and when he didn't know how to continue, he suddenly saw that Shen Erdan's sister-in-law was peeking at him, looking like she wanted to say something. Any one clue may find the murderer. No clues can be missed. Thinking of this, the little fat man stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Erdan's sister-in-law and said, "This sister-in-law, do you have something to say?"
