Chapter 075 The sun and moon grow longer in the dream (2)
"Have you caught the murderer? Have you caught the murderer?"
The prefect Xiao Yinuo burst into the door excitedly and asked in authentic Fengyang Mandarin.
At the same time, the judges and lords also rushed in, followed by a large group of people. They heard the report that Officer Zhao had caught the murderer of Yang Xu at Sun's house, and they were almost crazy with joy. Several adults also paid attention.
No longer able to be reserved, they rushed to Sun's house in a swarm.
Official Zhao rushed to greet him and hurriedly explained the situation here. The prefect's face changed and he asked anxiously: "Do the people know about this?"
Zhao Tuiguan hurriedly said: "No, fortunately he did not shout out his identity before he died. The people around him did not dare to approach. Besides, they had never seen the palace badge at all. Looking from a distance, they could not see it.
You can't guess the words."
Judge Dong Haotian listened to Judge Zhao's words, rolled his eyes slightly, and said a few words to the prefect. The prefect's stern expression softened, and he pointed at Li Dayin's standing body and said loudly: "This assassin has done many evil things, one after another.
He assassinated many people, but now that he was defeated and captured, he actually committed suicide out of fear of his crime. Come here, take the assassin's body back to the government office. Except for Mr. Geng, you are the master of this place. Please go back with me and accept inquiries."
Geng Xin's face changed greatly, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Master Zhifu, I am a good citizen who lives by his duties. I don't know how this old servant could do such a thing."
, Xiaomin..."
Xiao Yinuo just heard Judge Dong whisper to him: "This matter involves King Qi, it should not be made public, the assassin is dead, and the case is closed." It means to put all the blame on this assassin alone, and don't create any more trouble, otherwise
Once someone from the royal family is really involved, the leak cannot be plugged with just a few pieces of information.
Magistrate Xiao immediately understood. He wanted to bring Geng Xin back, which was just an excuse to silence the onlookers. After taking him to the government office, he revealed the results of the government's handling to him, and jointly solved the case involved.
King Qi's shocking case was turned into an ordinary murder case.
Seeing that Geng Xin was so frightened, the magistrate waved his hand and said displeasedly: "Perhaps this murderer just used your Sun Mansion to hide himself..."
Geng Xin quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise, the common people really don't know that he harbors evil intentions, secretly he is a good servant, secretly he is a killer, the common people..."
The magistrate's face sank and he shouted: "Nevertheless, a major murder occurred in your house, and the assassin who committed the murder was your servant. Can't I take you back to inquire more carefully?"
"this……"
Geng Xin's face turned pale and he could no longer speak.
Judge Dong's face darkened, and he pointed his halberd and said: "You have resisted and refused to go forward. Could it be that you are an accomplice of the assassin?"
Geng Xin was startled and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Xiao Min is definitely not his accomplice."
Judge Dong said sternly: "In that case, what are you talking about? Take him away and let him go back to the house after the magistrate has finished questioning him."
"As you command!"
The two officers pounced on him like wolves and tigers, grabbed Yuan Geng and left outside.
"Oh my God!"
Geng Xin screamed in his heart: "When will he let me back? Is it too late? Is it too late? I have already taken the poison of provocation! How could this happen? I had calculated it well, how could this happen?"
Each of these wonderful scenes and legendary scenes happened right under Xia Xun's nose, but he turned a blind eye and was still sleeping soundly.
This sleep may last for a long time. Before the drug-induced intoxication has passed, the arousing drug has begun to stir in his body...
"What's this person's name? When did he come to your house to work?"
The magistrate asked the case in person, and the magistrates, judges, and officials were all present, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The location was in the third hall of the government office. This is usually the place where confidential cases that should not be made public are heard. There were only a few people on duty on both sides.
Among the yamen servants, those who can stay are the confidants of the prefect or the judge.
"Back to the eldest man, this assassin is called Li Dayin. He has been in my family for some years. He was in the Sun family when Xiaomin married into the Sun family. According to what Xiaomin later learned, this man is the master of the Sun family, who is also Xiaomin's father-in-law.
I rescued it on the way to buy medicinal materials..."
Geng Xin knew everything and kept talking. While talking, he kept looking at the sky. This was really a cocoon for himself. He had already taken the poisonous wine and was waiting for the poison to take effect. Then he would give some hints to his rescuers and use medicine to cleanse him in time.
The stomach was cleansed, but who would have thought that Li Dayin, the murderer, would appear halfway through! The murderer who deserves to be killed! The murderer who is already dead and wants to harm others!
When the assassin first appeared, Geng Xin was still secretly happy. He felt that with this assassin making trouble, his secret poisoning was even more seamless. God knew that not only was this assassin caught, but he was actually a member of his own family. Now he was stealing chickens.
No, if the prefect delays it for too long...
Gengxin shuddered when he thought of this. But he had no choice at all. He knelt down and answered, cold sweat rolling down his forehead...
Xia Xun was brought home by Peng Ziqi. Peng Ziqi noticed that something was wrong with him. In view of his special status, Peng Ziqi didn't want to make any publicity before he understood the reason, so he just said that he was knocked to the ground by Li Dayin's punch and suffered dizziness on the forehead.
She was lost and needed to go back home to rest. At that time, Li Dayin suddenly attacked. Not many people could clearly see the back and forth of his vigorous thrust, so she was fooled.
Sun Xuelian and her son-in-law sent the frightened guests out one by one, thanking and apologizing. After finally answering the right questions, she was so busy that her back ached. Sun Xuelian returned to the hall and sat down, gently beating her waist.
, told the old housekeeper: "Everyone has worked hard today. Each person will be rewarded ten cents. After clearing the banquet, go and have a rest. Tell them not to whisper among themselves and talk nonsense. If I find out about it, they will be cleared out of the house immediately!"
Sun Xuelian's voice became stern when she spoke. The old housekeeper was awe-struck and agreed quickly. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Sun Xuelian stopped him again, pondered for a moment, and said: "Tomorrow morning, the flowing water mat will be laid out as usual.
There must be no abnormality in treating guests. If there are guests coming from afar, they should be welcomed in and treated with hospitality. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
The old housekeeper agreed and left. Du Tianwei quickly brought a cup of tea and said politely: "Mother, I have been busy for a long time. Let's drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Sun Xuelian glanced at the young man who officially became her uncle with approval, took the tea and took a sip, then placed it on the table, stood up and gave a slight salute to the shopkeepers and the waiter: "Oh, I didn't expect Yi
On my son's happy day, something like this happened at home. I'm sorry for you all, just keep busy..."
Several shopkeepers and waiters were all old people who had worked in the Sun family all their lives. Some of them rushed back from other places to attend the young master's wedding. Something happened at the master's house, so they didn't leave. They helped Sun Xuelian with all kinds of things.
Now he's following in.
Seeing that the boss was so polite, several shopkeepers and the waiters stood up quickly and said: "The boss is so polite. We old guys have been working in the Sun family for so many years, starting from busboys to apprentices." , I have long regarded the Sun family as my own. The affairs of the Sun family are our business. If there is any need for us, please don’t be polite, my boss. Just give us your orders."
Sun Xuelian forced a smile and said: "It's nothing. Fortunately, Li Dayin still has some conscience. He does things for others and does not implicate my family. I went to the government office to explain the situation and it was settled."
Saying this, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart when she thought of Li Dayin. She never knew what Li Dayin was thinking. She only knew that Li Dayin was loyal to her. When she was young, he cared for her the most and his meticulous care even surpassed Her father. Now that Li Dayin is dead, he was planning for himself wholeheartedly before his death, for fear of implicating the Sun family. Who is ruthless? Sun Xuelian was moved by this, but at this moment, she still had to mention him in an indifferent and disgusting tone. , there are really mixed feelings in my heart.
As he was talking for a while, Du Tianwei, who was standing aside, suddenly felt dizzy. He swayed and reached out to support the table. However, he was top-heavy and unsteady. He knocked the cup of tea he had just presented to Sun Xuelian on the ground with a "bang" sound. It fell to pieces.
Du Tianwei quickly stood up and said in panic: "Ah, mother, baby... baby..."
Sun Xuelian frowned and thought to herself: "After all, he is a child from a small family, so he is not stable." She was a little unhappy, but when she saw that his face was red, she remembered that he was the groom and had drunk the most wine tonight. He was relieved and said: "Today is a happy day for you and Yi'er. Go back to your room and rest. I'll ask someone to prepare a bowl of hangover soup for you."
Today, Du Tianwei was toasting and accompanying Sun Xuelian and Geng Xin. He was the groom's husband. He drank the most from the pot of poisonous wine that Geng Xin held, so he was the first to have the attack. He started to feel dizzy and troubled just now. He had dryness, chest swelling and tightness, and skin was tight. He thought he was drinking too much. These symptoms were indeed symptoms of drinking too much. But in front of his mother-in-law and several elders of the Sun family, he couldn't be rude and had to endure it. .
At this moment, when Sun Xuelian asked him to step back, Du Tianwei felt as if he had been granted an amnesty. He quickly agreed and was about to leave. But as soon as he stepped back to the door, his knee muscles were tight and he could not walk. He drank too much and was already top-heavy. , this wrong step, he hit the door frame and actually fell down.
Sun Xuelian's eyebrows ticked and she immediately became angry. The two doctors next to her rushed to help her. One of them was Fang Ziyue. When he saw that Sun Xuelian was unhappy, he helped her out and said, "My uncle is having a great time today. He drank too much wine." "Young man, it's inevitable, it's inevitable. Come on, Lao Wen, help me, let's send the groom and her husband back."
At this time, Du Tianwei's heart was beating fast and his stomach was hurting like a knot. He only said that he had eaten something bad and was a dwarf when he married into a family. He didn't want to do anything offensive unless he had to, so he didn't dare to say it. Gritting his teeth and enduring, he was carried by two doctors and walked to the new house in the backyard. By the time he entered the door of the new house, his originally red face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat as big as soybeans, which hurt him so much. My lips were trembling and I couldn't say a word.
There was Xi Niang accompanying the bride in the room. In front of the bed, the bride's descendant Miao Yi was sitting there quietly with his hands on his knees and a red hijab. The groom, Wenyuan, had a laugh with Xi Niang and said: "The groom has drunk too much."
Okay, let’s send him back. Let’s have a glass of rice wine and let the new couple rest early, and we’ll leave now.”
