Jin Yi Shi Niang (Detective)

Liang Dong ordered his subordinates to go to the owner and order the only three rooms.

It's just that the three wing rooms are all Datong bunks with heated kang.

So they arranged for the three girls to live in a slightly better room, one for Wen Chen, Su Qi and Chen Dawu, and one for Liang Dong and Ban Xuan.

The other guards and coachmen could only make do with the kitchen and yard.

Fortunately, in early summer, the climate is not too cold.

Lan Ying'er and the two Jinyiwei ladies entered the house, and they were happy to see that it was tidy and tidy.

After a good night's sleep, everyone got up at Mao the next day, ready to go on their way after eating the morning meal.

In the room of Lan Yinger and the two Jinyiwei ladies, a boy about [-] or [-] years old came into the room with a large bucket of water, lowered his head shyly and said, "This is water for washing. "

"Little brother, are you hired by the boss? Or the boss' son? I think you look a bit like the boss's wife?"

Chang Ling has a carefree temperament, except for having a daughter's face, he speaks and acts like a man.As a Jin Yiwei, observation and curiosity drove her to ask such a question.

Unexpectedly, the young man said: "The proprietress is my sister." After saying that, he lowered his head and prepared to go out with a serious face.

"Who is your older sister, you little bastard, it's good if you weren't kicked out at the beginning, but now a distinguished guest is here, chewing his tongue here."

The one who cursed was the proprietress who came in with a tea tray.

The boy stood in the room, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly.

Lan Ying'er was standing facing the young man, seeing the young man's expression of wanting to defend herself but not daring to speak up, she also became curious in her heart.At the end, I saw the boy stomping his feet angrily, and walked towards the side courtyard at the west end.

The proprietress yelled at his back: "I still have to cook the food! Are you going to die?"

But the boy rushed into the gate of the side courtyard angrily, completely ignoring the proprietress.

The proprietress put the tea tray on the table, looked at Chang Ling and Yuan Qian and said, "Girls, don't be as knowledgeable as him. He is a child picked up by my father. After my father passed away, I saw that he was pitiful, so I let him take care of him." Help here, do some light work, so that he can have a bite to eat." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out quickly, and at this moment, anger gathered on his bitter and mean face, and he muttered in bits and pieces: "You You little bastard, let's see if the old lady doesn't clean up you."

Lan Ying'er followed and went out, watching the proprietress pick up a wooden stick half a person's height from the corner of the courtyard, and walked towards the side courtyard, she turned to look at Wen Chen standing outside the next room, He said, "Master Wen, is something going to happen?"

Wen Chen looked indifferent, didn't speak, just looked at the dilapidated small courtyard silently.

After a while, I heard chickens and dogs jumping around in the small courtyard, and the boy was beaten by the proprietress with a wooden stick and ran around.

Suddenly an old woman ran out of the back kitchen, and she ran towards the courtyard in a panic, shouting: "Zhen Bi, if you dare to beat my son, I won't fight you hard. "

Chang Ling came out of the house, looked at the woman with her arms crossed, and asked curiously, "Isn't it a picked child? Why is there a mother?"

Yuan Jing smiled and said: "It seems that there is a story in the boss's house."

However, Lan Ying'er could see the grievances and anger accumulated over the years from the young man's eyes and facial expressions. She thought that this young man had a hard life since he was a child, but why did he have a mother, but he was a wild child picked up? And will be bullied by the boss lady like this?

At this time, from the other side of the hall, the broad-faced boss with a big head and round waist also came out and ran towards the small courtyard.

At this moment, Lan Ying'er saw Wen Chen's brows and eyes darken, while Su Qi had already changed his face while watching the play, and ran after the boss.

Lan Ying'er thought that Su Qi was still injured, and it was not his turn to persuade him to fight, so she quickly followed behind.

The two women in the small courtyard were fighting. As soon as the boss entered the courtyard, he picked up the young mother by the back collar, dragged her out, punched her on the eye socket, and beat her hard. She howled loudly and sat up crying.

Seeing his mother being beaten, the boy ran out of the broken house, knelt down and cried loudly with his mother in his arms.

The boss put his hands on his hips and cursed: "I let you eat and live here for nothing. I have raised you for more than ten years and you are still not satisfied. I am ashamed of you here." One staggered and jumped like a dog eating shit.

When the proprietress saw that the person who pushed him was a handsome guest officer, she didn't know what to do for a while. The boss got up from the ground and wanted to find Su Qi desperately, but saw another tall and brave young man standing forward with a stern expression on his face. , but it was Chen Dawu.

Chen Dawu looked like a martial artist, so he was not easy to mess with at first glance, he said sharply: "A big man bullying an unarmed old man, how shameless are you?"

The boss touched the sore nose and said with a bitter face: "She is not an old man, she... oh! Our husband and wife have raised their mother and daughter for 15 years. If it weren't for us, they would have frozen to death outside and starved to death. "

The weeping old woman saw that someone stood up for their wife, she turned her face to the boss and said loudly: "It is you and your wife who have occupied our wife's house and property for 15 years and bullied our wife for 15 years. I'm going to the Yamen to sue." As he spoke, he got up from the ground.

The boy hurriedly helped his mother up.

The boss sneered: "What did you say, you bitch, what do you mean we have taken over your mother's house and property?"

The young mother gave him a hard look, wanted to speak but closed her mouth, turned her head to her son and said, "Let's go, our mother and I will go to the yamen."

The proprietress was so angry that she picked up her stick and chased after her: "Which yamen are you going to? The guests are all waiting for the morning food. If you leave, I'll ask someone to boil the water and cook the rice."

Her words revealed the situation of the couple in this courtyard. They were obviously being bullied, but they were still called shelter by the boss and his wife.

Su Qi took a step with his long legs, blocking the way of the proprietress, and ordered Chen Dawu to escort the two of them to the local yamen.

Chang Ling likes to watch the excitement, so she wants to take Yuan Qian to go with her. Yuan Qian wants to go to the street to buy some things for her daughter's household, but she doesn't want to go, so Chang Ling takes Lan Yinger to go.

Thinking of that poor boy, Lan Ying'er felt righteous in her chest, so she went along with her.

The proprietress was so angry that she said why those customers were so meddlesome.

The boss snorted coldly and said: "What a joke, the family property is ours, even if we sue the state capital, it's useless."

Chen Dawu and the others were stopped by Liang Dong and Ban Xuan before they left the gate of the inn compound.

Although Liang Dong and Ban Xuan fought all day long, they had the same idea at critical moments.

Ban Xuandao: "Chen Dawu, we have to rush on our way, we don't have time to take care of other people's affairs."

Chen Dawu was not good at words, he looked at Wen Chen anxiously.

Wen Chen said: "The business is urgent, don't delay the time."

Seeing this, Lan Yinger hurriedly said: "Isn't it that the person who was sent out to buy things hasn't come back yet? We'll accompany the two of them to the yamen, and there won't be a long delay." She naturally understood that the case involved important national affairs, and it was really inappropriate at this time Nosy, but she can't watch this girl being bullied.

Wen Chen said: "We are about to set off at the right time."

Lan Yinger nodded: "I will definitely come back at Sishizheng."

……

On Qingshi Street, the woman was supported by her son. At this moment, the woman's heart slowly calmed down, and she suddenly stopped moving forward.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Let's not file a complaint!" The woman was about to go back as she said, but when she turned around, she saw the gang of guest officials coming out after her.

The boy grabbed her and said, "Mother, we must sue this case, otherwise they will bully us for the rest of our lives."

The woman frowned and said: "But, mother is not sure at all."

The young man is smart. He played the role of the waiter at home since he was a child. He watched all kinds of people all the year round, and he knew that those people should be officials disguised as commoners. So he felt a little more confident and whispered to his mother: "Mother!" Don't be afraid, since we have decided to sue, there is no turning back."

After thinking for a moment, the woman nodded and said: "What my son said is that today I have lost face with their husband and wife, so I can't let them bully me anymore." She looked at her son, "You are also 15 years old now. As your father said, you are already an adult, you can go to the Yamen to file a complaint."

Chen Dawu, who had just walked in front of them, listened to the words of the two women, and asked: "What is the grievance between you guys, if you don't want to visit, tell me first."

As the woman walked, she said, "My name is Wen Shulian. I married into Zhen's family 16 years ago and filled in the house for Zhen Bi's father, Zhen Youfu. Zhen Bi was the proprietress. When Zhen Bi was 17 years old, she married Lou Xiangbei was two years old. And I was only in my twenties, only four years older than Zhen Bi."

When she said this, everyone in the room was startled, because her face was yellow and wrinkled, her back was hunched, and she looked about 60 or 36 years old.No wonder the boss said at the time that she was not an old man. After all, she is only [-] years old now.

Wen continued: "Zhen Bi's mother had passed away for three years when I entered Lou's house. When Zhen Youfu passed away, he had no one to help manage the family business, so he had to call his daughter and son-in-law to help. Outside the inn, there are three other shops and some fields. After I married Zhen Youfu in October, I gave birth to my son Zhen Qing..."

She glanced at her son beside her, "I was still in the month at that time, because Lou Xiangbei thought that the father-in-law gave birth to a son, and the family property would belong to the son in the future, so he treated me and the child extremely badly, and also to Zhen Youfu. At that time, Zhen Youfu was 66 years old, so Lou Xiangbei publicized it everywhere, saying that he had never seen anyone at this age who could give birth, and that the child I gave birth to was not from the Zhen family.

But it's not from the Zhen family, so Zhen Youfu is naturally aware of it.It’s just that the family’s property was in the hands of Lou Xiangbei at that time, and he couldn’t get it back for a while, and he was worried that he would anger Lou Xiangbei. Lou Xiangbei’s father was the official of the county government at that time, so he kept swallowing his anger until Zhen Youfu was in Zhenqing. At eight months, I suddenly suffered from a serious illness, which could not be cured for a long time..."

Speaking of this, she was already choking with tears, "Zhen Youfu told me before he died that Zhen Qing was young, and if the property in Zhen Qing's family belongs to Zhen Qing's name, Lou Xiangbei will definitely be detrimental to our mother and child. He decided to give all the property. I gave it to my daughter and the couple, and said that no matter how they treated our mother and child after the menstrual period, we must bear it and not resist. It is impossible for the county magistrate to be the current county magistrate, and Muguan may not be the current Muguan, and the family property may be returned, otherwise, I am afraid that our mother and son will not be able to survive in this world."

She picked up the cloth towel given by her son and wiped her tears, then said: "Just three days after Zhen Youfu's death, Lou Xiangbei and Zhen Bi drove our mother and son from the main house to the side courtyard, and sent the servants in the house Sent away, I have to take care of all the affairs of the family when I have to raise a child. And I am only allowed to eat two meals a day, and each meal is only leftover soup and rice dregs from some guests."

When Lan Yinger heard this, anger welled up in her heart, not to mention Chang Ling, who gritted her teeth.

Chen Dawu felt a little confused when he heard it: "All the family property has been given to Lou Xiangbei, so there must be a will?"

Wen nodded: "There is a will. But Zhen Youfu grabbed my sleeve and made it very clear that I must go to the Yamen to file a complaint when my son becomes an adult."

Lan Ying'er said, "Have you seen that will?"

Wen Shi nodded, took out a piece of yellowed paper from his pocket and handed it to Lan Yinger.

After Lan Ying'er read it carefully, she frowned and asked, "Is there no fingerprint on this will?"

Wen explained: "This is not a will, but the content of the will, which I copied down according to the will."

Lan Yinger handed the content of the will to Chen Dawu, who was a little confused after reading it.

As soon as Wen saw Chen Dawu's wink, he knew that they didn't understand, so he said: "It's been more than ten years, and this will is clearly written. Outsiders are not allowed to compete. I really don't understand why Zhen Youfu told me to go to the Yamen to file a complaint?"

Lan Yinger asked again: "Then the county magistrate has changed now, is Lou Xiangbei's father still a Muguan?"

Wen said: "For more than ten years, there have been four county magistrates. Lou Xiangbei's father passed away five years ago."

Chang Ling said: "Let's beat the drum first!"

At this time, they said as they walked that they had already arrived at the gate of the yamen.

Zhen Qing went up to beat the drum, the sound of the drum moved people's hearts, and the passing people all stepped forward to watch.

But the drums rang for a long time, and the gate of the yamen was not opened.

Chang Ling is impatient, thinking they have to hurry!So let Zhen Qing knock again.

Zhen Qing kept knocking, and finally, the door opened with a creak, and a government servant who was arranging clothes came out.

The yamen servant was wearing a belt, yawned, looked at the people at the door, and cursed: "It's so early in the morning, why are you knocking?"

Seeing his appearance, Chang Ling's heart became angry, and after hearing what he said, she suddenly became furious, took a step forward, and regardless of the dress she was wearing, she lifted her foot towards the yamen servant's chest and cursed: "Your mother!" □□! The office is not opened at Maoshi, the waistband of the trousers is not fastened, and some people cry for injustice and beat the drums and give them black faces."
