Mrs. County Detective Handbook

Gu Jingtong briefly told him about the dispute between Su Mei and Li Zhongyi.

Ke Zhixi was silent for a long while, then smiled wryly: "Ten years ago, I was indeed in the same brotherhood as him, not a real brother but better than a real brother. But a real brother would never see each other, let alone me and him."

Gu Jingtong asked: "How?"

"Since his wife Zhu's death, I have no contact with him."

Chu Heng frowned, "What does Zhu's death have to do with you?"

"I was doing funeral affairs in Qingyuan County back then. Li Zhongyi and I were neighbors for several years, and we had a very good relationship. They joked that if someone died in the family, I would take care of it and give me a big silver coin. Not long after that, Zhu's dystocia Li Zhongyi entrusted me to send the spirit to Zhu’s hometown for burial, halfway through the camp, I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect, and my eyes were blinded by the poison..." Speaking of this, Ke Zhixi seemed very uncomfortable, he stared He choked for a moment, and then said, "I was blind at the time, and I was in a mess. When I returned to Qingyuan County, I blamed Li Zhongyi, saying that he shouldn't let me go to the funeral. I didn't expect that Li Zhongyi would slander me instead, saying that I was trying to earn money for nothing. That so-called large ingot of silver deliberately cursed the dead of his family, and also called me vicious-hearted and blind!"

Ke Zhixi couldn't restrain his anger, his body trembled slightly: "This kind of person, what kind of friend should I have with him? In the second year, I will move to Fengshui and have no contact with him."

Chu Heng asked again: "Then what do you know about Li Zhongyi and the Zhu family?"

Ke Zhixi said quietly: "The husband and wife respect each other as guests, but Li Zhongyi should love the Zhu family more. Li Zhongyi's roots are in Qingyuan County, and his ancestors have been shopkeepers for generations, so there is nothing to say; as for the Zhu family... her hometown is in Shiliwan, Tongchuan. The place is remote, but the scenery is good, and there is a very famous Baihua Valley. When Li Zhongyi went there to sell goods, he met Mrs. Zhu, and he fell in love with him at first sight, so he hired him and asked him to marry him. Not long after that, I went ten miles with Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhu. I happened to see Mrs. Zhu's parents quarreling in Wanwan, it seems that Zhu's father was fooling around outside... I can't remember clearly, but I didn't stay in Shiliwan for long, and then I went back to Qingyuan County. Because I have been to Shiliwan, I can find it. It was Li Zhongyi who asked me to send Zhu's spirit."

As soon as he finished his sentence, his expression became gloomy: "If I knew what would happen next, I would never agree to it no matter what."

Gu Jingtong, who was listening, was unclear about one thing. He asked, "Why didn't Li Zhongyi accompany Mrs. Zhu when he returned to the village for burial?"

"Li Zhongyi is sick." Ke Zhixi frowned, "The illness is so severe that the whole body is burned, and it is difficult to walk in a drowsy way."

Chu Heng only cared about whose child Su Yu was.

She only asked the main point: "When the Zhu family gave birth, did you see the dead child?"

Ke Zhixi shook his head: "Not yet."

Su Yu lowered her head lonely.

But Ke Zhixi said again: "However... because the dead child was not liked by Li Zhongyi, he asked Zhu's friend Su to take it to a mass grave and bury it. You can ask that Su, she took the child Where are they buried?"

At this time, Yang La interjected: "I asked about this a long time ago. The mass grave was pushed away, and now it has become Pingshan. Fruit trees are planted in many places, and it is impossible to find them."

Chu Heng had a strange expression when he heard this.

She asked Su Yu: "Is it Pingshan where you planted peach trees last time?"

Su Yu nodded.

Chu Heng gritted her teeth and cursed, "Well, you Lin Boqin, you actually took me to the mass grave." She looked displeased, as if she had forgotten that she was the one who went with her.

Gu Jingtong rubbed his chin and asked, "Ke Zhixi, do you know that Zhu's family has a genetic deformity of little toes?"

"Of course I know." With a hoarse voice, Ke Zhixi raised his hand and gestured, "Zhu's, Zhu's father, and Zhu's great-grandfather are all like this. I went to Shiliwan during the scorching heat, and his father was planting seedlings in the field barefoot. Yes. The little toes of both feet are lumped together, which looks weird."

"What about Su Mei?"

"I don't know about Su Mei, but before moving to Fengshui, I heard that she gave birth to a son with deformed toes."

"Ke Zhixi, what else do you know?"

Ke Zhixi frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "I don't know anymore."

Yang La took out the summons document from her sleeve, and was about to show it to Ke Zhixi, but suddenly remembered that he was blind, so hurriedly slipped it back.

He coughed and said, "Ke Zhixi, according to the law, I have to take you to the Qingyuan County Government to record a statement. You shouldn't object?"

Although Ke Zhixi looked scary, he was a good person. He groped for the door frame, a little embarrassed: "I can't see, I'm afraid I will cause trouble to the officials along the way."

Gu Jingtong waved his hand: "It's okay, I will send someone to escort you back and forth."

Ke Zhixi nodded slightly: "That's good, when shall we set off?"

"We have other things to do in Mingyue Town. I'm afraid we won't go to Qingyuan County until tomorrow morning." When Gu Jingtong said this, he glanced at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng seemed to understand what he meant, and hurriedly said, "I'll go to Mrs. Lin's residence later."

Ke Zhixi was quite enthusiastic. He pointed to his shop and said, "I still have two vacant rooms in my shop. The official doesn't mind it. You can temporarily stay here tonight."

The coffin shop was cold and dark, exuding a decaying musty smell, the shroud hanging at the door was rattling by the wind, and the white flags and elegiac couplets fluttered back and forth.

Yang La and the other two yamen servants refused: "No way..."

Of course Gu Jingtong didn't want to sleep with the coffin all night, he said: "Ke Zhixi, don't worry about us, go to bed earlier, and we will go to the yamen together tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Ke Zhixi nodded.

After the matter was settled here, the group went to Mingyue Town.

Mingyue Town and Kejia Town were not too far away, and they arrived in less than half an hour.

Yang La has been to Mrs. Lin's residence many times. He came to a small green tile courtyard with ease and knocked on the door: "Mrs. Lin, are you home?"

After a while, the lights in the house came on.

Madam Lin held the candle in one hand and shielded herself from the wind with the other, and came to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, seeing Yang La and Chu Heng were all there, she immediately said "ah" in surprise: "Si Niang, why are you here?"

Chu Heng showed a smile: "Mother, my husband has a case and needs to come to Fengshui, so I'll stop by to see you."

"Come in, come in." Madam Lin hurriedly went to pull Chu Heng, but just as Chu Heng turned his side, Madam Lin was startled suddenly.

She widened her eyes, pointed at Gu Jingtong and said, "Are you Sheng Feng?"

Gu Jingtong smiled: "Long time no see, Auntie."

"Oh, why are you here too? I haven't seen you for many years." Mrs. Lin hurriedly stuffed the candle to Yang La, and went to hold Gu Jingtong's hand.

She held Chu Heng with one hand and Gu Jingtong with the other. This scene looked a bit strange.

Chu Heng then unnaturally withdrew his hand and went to hold Su Yu: "My husband has always been concerned about my mother's body. Mother is doing well these days."

"Very good." Mrs. Lin smiled kindly, "I live in Fengshui. I have many friends and I can't finish talking during the day. When this person is happy, his health will naturally recover. Si Niang, go back and tell Bo Qin He is an official, so he doesn't need to think about me as an old lady at all times. I will come over when the new year is over."

Chu Heng nodded obediently: "I will bring it to Husband if mother wants to."

Gu Jingtong felt that every time she said the word "husband", the accent was very pleasant, so he couldn't help but glance at her again.

This Li Siniang's acting is really impeccable.

If Lin Boqin hadn't told them in advance, he might have thought they were a couple with deep affection.

Mrs. Lin invited them into the house, and simply asked about the progress of the case, but she didn't take it to heart.After all, she has witnessed too many cases over the years.

She was very interested in Gu Jingtong, and asked him what he had been doing in the government office these years, and then asked: "Sheng Feng, you are almost 25 now, and you haven't married a wife yet, so your parents might be dying in a hurry. "

Gu Jingtong smiled brightly: "Auntie, can't I find it? If you have a suitable one, you can find me a match."

Mrs. Lin raised her hand and covered her mouth with a smile: "Okay, aunt, I wrote it down."

The two of them were talking about Lin Boqin and Gu Jingtong studying together and going to Beijing to rush for the exam. Chu Heng was not interested in hearing it, so he found a rope to play with Su Yu.Seeing her like this, Mrs. Lin at the side couldn't help laughing and asked, "Si Niang, how are you getting along with Boqin these days?"

Chu Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then said nonsense: "Very well, my husband treats me very well, and I like him very much." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, pretending to be shy.

Seeing her like this, Gu Jingtong immediately suppressed a smile and turned his head to one side.

Mrs. Lin did not doubt that she had him, so she patted the back of Chu Heng's hand and said softly, "Si Niang, you and Boqin must have a son and a half daughter. I hope that during the Chinese New Year, mother can hear Good news for you."

Chu Heng's smile was really embarrassing, she lowered her head and said, "Mother, there's no need to rush this kind of thing..."

"Okay, mother knows." Mrs. Lin probably knew that she could only say this to the female relatives, and she would not chatter in front of Gu Jingtong.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingtong stretched his neck in a desperate manner, and made a congratulatory gesture towards Chu Heng: "Then wait for the good news from Mrs. Lin and Boqin. At that time, I will definitely give you a generous gift." Chu Heng bit Grinding his teeth, he didn't smile: "There is no need for generous gifts. Gu Xiancheng even has to pay back 50 taels of silver for 50 years. To save some money, it is better to save some money for yourself to marry a wife!"

Madam Lin didn't know what the two were talking about, and was about to ask, when Chu Heng smiled and said, "Mother, I'm sleepy, first take Su Yu out to wash up."

"Ah, let's go, let's squeeze together later."

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Lin also said to Gu Jingtong: "Sheng Feng, go and rest too. My yard is narrow, and there is only one room next door, but the whole shop is quite big. You, Yang La, and those two little brothers , I’m afraid I’ll be wronged all night.”

Gu Jingtong didn't care at all, he said, "Auntie, I'm bothering you."

A group of people rested temporarily in Mrs. Lin's yard. Before dawn the next day, everyone wanted to take Ke Zhixi back to Qingyuan County.Mrs. Lin packed a basket of eggs overnight and handed it to Chu Heng, asking her to take it home to eat.Chu Heng thanked her, and then went to Kejia Town.
