After Wu Zuo explained the cause of Lin Dazhuang's death, he made sure that Magistrate Qin had no other instructions and stepped aside.
Qin County Magistrate said sternly: "Lu Yi, what do you have to say?"
Lu Yi said calmly: "Xiaguan did beat Lin Dazhuang, but he was measured and never broke his ribs."
"If it's not you, then it's your entourage." Magistrate Qin snorted coldly: "The reporter said that you and your entourage beat Lin Dazhuang together and then threw him into the water."
"Your Excellency, it is clear that my attendant arrived later, and he only kicked him once. It was that kick that pushed Lin Dazhuang to the water's edge, causing him to dive into the water and escape."
"It's not you, is there anyone else? Lin Dazhuang broke five ribs and suffocated to death in the water. You said he was measured, is this what you mean?"
Lu Yi was silent.
Mu Siyu looked at the door. It was getting dark, and there was only gray light outside. Neither Kite nor Lu Zhiqian, who was inquiring about the news, came back.
Click click click!
The footsteps are getting closer.
"Master, a guest is here." Kite came in with Gao Yamen.
"Brother Gao, please come in quickly." Seeing that it was Gao Yamen, Mu Siyu quickly invited him in.
Gao Yamen looked around and made sure there was no tail before entering the door.
"Kite, it's getting late, go and call Zhiqian and Brother Xia back." The two men had been standing guard outside the yamen.
The kite responded and left.
When Mu Siyu poured tea, Gao Yamen said: "After bringing Mr. Lu into the county government office today, Mr. Qin sent me out to perform official duties. As soon as I came back, I met Mr. Kite. I went back to the county government office to find Wen Shu.
The official asked about it and heard that the cause of Lin Dazhuang's death was that he broke five ribs and suffocated in the water."
"Then what?"
Mu Siyu didn't know if it was Lu Yi who did it. Although she felt that Lu Yi was not such an impolite person, people are very likely to be impulsive when they are angry, and once impulsive, they are prone to mistakes, so she did not ask how Lin Dazhuang died.
Yes, I just want to know what Lu Yi should do.
"All the clues are not good for Mr. Lu. However, because Lin Dazhuang secretly murdered your mother first, Mr. Lu took action out of filial piety, which is actually excusable. In addition, Mr. Qin has always relied on him, maybe because of his
Normally, I would not impose a harsh sentence out of love."
"Will this case be heard in public?"
"It's hard to say. Lin Dazhuang's son also went to the county government today to make trouble, demanding that Mr. Lu kill someone to pay for it." Gao Yamen frowned.
The kite came back and brought Lu Zhiqian back, but Xia Kun was missing.
"I don't know where Brother Kun has gone." Lu Zhiqian said, "I saw Brother Kun on the street today. He unloaded the carriage and rode away."
"Leaving?" Mu Siyu frowned.
"Yes, let's go, out of the city." Lu Zhiqian said, "But I believe Brother Kun, he must have something important to do."
"Sister-in-law Lu, is it possible that your attendant got scared and ran away?" Gao Yamen asked: "Isn't it possible that Lin Dazhuang was killed by him?"
"Impossible." Lu Zhiqian retorted angrily. "Brother Kun is not such an unloyal person. If he really killed him, Brother Kun would have surrendered himself long ago."
"I also believe it's not him." Mu Siyu said, "Maybe there is something important to do!"
Gao Yamen did not sit still for a long time. After explaining Lu Yi's current situation, he left. He also said that if there was any news, he would send someone over to tell them and told them not to go to the county government office yet.
"Girl Yu, will my son-in-law be okay?" Tong asked worriedly.
"It'll be okay." How could something happen to Lu Yi?
He is such a smart person, even if he really did it, he would still have a way to escape.
He believed in Lu Yi's ability.
But where did Xia Kun go?
Of course she also believed in Xia Kun, but she was a little worried when he ran around like this.
Lujia Village. Mrs. Yu heard someone knocking on the door, thinking it was An Yiheng coming back, and stood up happily. However, thinking that An Yiheng had gone to take the government examination, she suppressed her joy and walked out slowly to open the door.
"Who is it?"
An Yu was in her room and didn't go out all afternoon.
Mrs. Yu doesn't like to interact with people in the village, and no one usually visits her door. Today, someone knocked on the door, which made her feel a little strange.
She didn't open the door immediately, but asked again inside: "Who is it?"
"It's me, I'm married to a whole family."
"What's the matter with you?" Mrs. Yu thought about who this 'family member' was, and several faces appeared in her mind, but none of them matched.
"My mother's family came over today and gave me some tofu. Our family couldn't finish it, so I gave two pieces to my aunt to try," said Wang.
Mrs. Yu opened the door and looked at the woman in front of her suspiciously.
Seeing Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yu remembered. This person was the famous eighth wife in the village. She always greeted her when she was doing laundry, and she was so warm and inexplicable.
But seeing that she was talking about Heng'er both inside and outside her words, it was not difficult to guess what she was thinking.
"Our family doesn't like tofu." Yushi said reservedly.
"Oh, how can I not like to eat it?" Mrs. Wang said, handing the bowl over: "No, try it, my mother-in-law makes tofu, it's delicious."
Looking at the white and tender tofu, Mrs. Yu's face softened: "Thank you."
"You are so polite, you are a fellow villager." Mrs. Wang said: "I am the most generous person, not like that of Lu Yi's family. Look at my words, are your family and Lu Yi's family married? I said aunt, Lu Yi killed
If you kill someone, that follower, the one you An Yu is going to marry, also kills someone. Is this a crime?"
Yu's face looked ugly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Lin Dazhuang died. Everyone in the village saw Lu Yi and the man named Xia Kun chasing after him. Why did this man die? Some people saw them beating Lin Dazhuang and throwing him into the house.
Shuili. Tell me, your family An Yu is such a good girl, is she going to marry a murderer like this?"
"I don't want the tofu anymore, just take it away." Mrs. Yu stuffed the bowl back.
"Oh, don't be angry, Auntie. You are not married yet, so everything is done in time. Your son is going to be a high official. If he has a murderer brother-in-law, will it affect his future?" Wang's eyes flashed.
flash.
Mrs. Yu frowned: "The case has not been decided yet. We will wait until it is decided."
"That's right. I heard that your An Yu is worth one hundred taels of silver. No one else would be so generous."
"What one hundred taels of silver?" Mrs. Yu said angrily.
She received a gift of one hundred taels of silver. There was no rumor about this matter, but now that it was known, how could she not be angry?
"I heard what the woman from Lu Yi's family said to her mother, isn't it? If not, then they have gone too far, right? Do you know what they are talking about? They said that a blind girl was sold for one hundred taels of silver, even if
If you go out and buy a healthy one, you can buy dozens of them."
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others." Mrs. Yu was angry. "It's okay if you don't want this relative!"
