When Zhan Lao Er looked at the Zhan family in the room and the officers in police uniforms and swords, his first reaction was that the girl had been killed by the blind woman.
But when he suddenly met Zhan Feiyu's round black eyes, Zhan Laoer sat up in shock, pulled the wound on his back, and fell back on the bed like a dead dog again.
"Second child."
"The head of the house." Mrs. Zhan and little Yao looked worriedly at Mr. Zhan, whose face was as pale as a dead man. But Fei Captou had a sullen face and said nothing, and the two of them were timid and did not dare to step forward.
Did the police come to arrest him? Zhan Laoer clenched the quilt tightly in fear, his mind was in confusion, but he had already thought about it repeatedly before taking action.
Thinking of this, Zhan Laoer calmed down again and groaned twice, pretending to be in unbearable pain, "Dad, what happened? Why am I hurt?"
Old man Zhan looked at Capt. Fei and saw him nodding. Old man Zhan quickly explained the matter.
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine, but my back hurts so much." Zhan Laoer was determined. He only hated the blind woman who was really blind and thought she was a dead girl.
No, why didn’t I have any consciousness at that time?
Zhan Laoer suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhan Feiyu, his heart was filled with turmoil. It was this damn girl who had replaced the wontons! He ate the bowl that was laced with the sweat medicine.
"Master, you were all harmed by this dead girl." Little Yao glared at Zhan Feiyu bitterly, gritting his teeth and said: "If she hadn't saved a crazy woman out of kindness, how could she take advantage of you while you were sleeping?
I was so cruel to you while I was there that you almost lost your life."
"Don't talk nonsense, this is an accident and has nothing to do with Xiaoyu." Zhan Laoer looked at Xiao Yao reproachfully, pretending to be a kind and kind elder, "Xiaoyu, your second aunt was scared, second uncle didn't
It’s your fault.”
Seeing how tolerant Mr. Zhan was, both Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Mrs. Zhan and Xiao Yao were unwilling to do so, the police were here and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not dare to cause trouble. They looked at Zhan with sharp eyes.
Feiyu poked it.
After Fei Captou finished asking questions, he left the Huichun Hall with his two men.
"Uncle Fei, Mr. Zhan and the blind woman don't know each other, and there is no enmity between them. It seems that the case can be closed." Capt. Zhao's tone was a little more relaxed. He found out so quickly that he could have a good sleep at night.
"You have been tired for a day. You will have half a day off tomorrow before coming back to the Yamen." Capt. Fei gave a few people a day off.
It was already sunset when we returned to the county government office. Chief Fei first read the autopsy records of Zuo Zuo, and then checked the confessions of Wang Ming, Wang Zhen and the neighbors. Combined with Zhan Laoer's words, the case could indeed be closed.
Half an hour later, at the county government house.
The boy standing under the verandah turned slightly sideways and said, "Sir, please come in."
The light was on in the study. Magistrate Chen changed out of his official uniform and wore a dark brown straight jacket. After hearing the sound of the door opening, he placed his brush on the landscape pen holder and asked, "How is the investigation of the case?"
"This is the file, please take a look at it." Fei Captou handed the file over respectfully.
If it is a major case, the county government does not have the power to close the case and needs to transfer the files to Nanxuan Mansion. The specific trial outcome will be determined by the magistrate. However, if it is an ordinary case, County Magistrate Chen can directly try it.
After County Magistrate Chen looked through the files, he asked, "Is it related to the Zeng family or the Zhu family?"
"Sir, my subordinates have sent people to investigate, but no connection has been found." Capt. Fei was not surprised that County Magistrate Chen had such an inference.
Although Landlord Zhu's family is a country squire, Zhu Kun is the son-in-law of Master Zhao. Magistrate Chen also knew about Liu Wangcai's previous visit to Zhan's house and smashed it up. Fortunately, Master Zhao warned Zhu Kun and told him to stop, but there was no guarantee that he would stop.
Afterwards, Zhu Kun waited for an opportunity to take revenge on the Zhan family.
As for the Zeng family in Baofeng Buzhuang, there is even more suspicion. Mrs. Zeng saved the fetus, but she had to stay in bed for three months to preserve the fetus.
Shopkeeper Zeng was a villain who was determined to take revenge. The lame beggar disappeared, but Wang Ming, the boy, was still alive. It is also possible that the Zeng family took revenge and wanted to destroy Wang Ming's family.
As for whether Zhan Feiyu and Zhan Laoer were innocently involved, neither Zhu Kun nor Shopkeeper Zeng would care about the life or death of a commoner.
"Sir, when my subordinates inquired, I found that Zhan Laoer looked wrong and seemed to be hiding something." Capt. Fei did not forget Zhan Laoer's panicked expression at the moment after he woke up. Although he restrained himself very quickly, he still did not escape Fei's attention.
A pair of sharp eyes that catches the head.
County Magistrate Chen's only impression of the Zhan family was Zhan Feiyu, a plump and cute little girl. If Zhu Kun's matter had not involved Mr. Zhao, Magistrate Chen would not have known that Zhan Feiyu was so talented in reading.
"Send someone to check again." County Magistrate Chen thought about it for a while and said again: "Go to the housekeeper to get twenty taels of silver and send it to the Huichun Hall. This is the county's reward for the good deeds of the little girl from the Zhan family."
Fei Fei was stunned, how could an adult care for a little girl so much?
Thinking that County Magistrate Chen had personally gone to Zhan's house to host the competition before, Fei Captou immediately responded: "Yes, I will do it now."
…
It took a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, not to mention that Zhan Laoer was stabbed seven times, and half of his life was lost.
At first, the Zhan family was worried about Zhan's second son's injury and resented Zhan Feiyu. No one thought about the Yinzi thing. After eating a few cakes for dinner and calming down, the Yinzi thing was brought to the fore.
.
"Dad, I went to ask the old doctor. The hemostatic medicine that saved my second brother is the best. One bottle costs one tael of silver. The old doctor used two bottles at that time." As soon as Boss Zhan said this, everyone in the room was shocked.
The faces of the Zhan family suddenly became extremely sad, and they lost two taels of silver.
Boss Zhan then said: "My second brother lost a lot of blood. The old doctor used ginseng tablets in his medicine, and he still needs to take this medicine for half a month. After that, he will change the prescription. The consultation fee plus the medicine fee total eighteen taels."
.”
"Don't you think Huichun Hall is cheap? Why do you need so much money!" Little Yao screamed, "Eighteen taels of silver, it will take two years to earn without eating or drinking, and the key is to spend money later."
Old man Zhan and Mrs. Zhan also looked ugly. Although saving the second child's life was the most important thing, so much money was as painful as cutting flesh.
"Brother, the head of the family was killed by your daughter. You have to pay for this money!" Little Yao said fiercely, staring at Zhan Feiyu with hatred. If it weren't for Li's protection, she would have been beaten.
Damn this bitch!
"The family has no money." Old Mrs. Zhan agreed, looking at Boss Zhan with a forced gaze, deliberately stretching her neck to expose the scarred wound, "It's not enough to harm me, but also to harm the second brother. If you don't harm the Zhan family,
If we kill them all, your boss will not give up."
"Mom, I'll pay for the money." Boss Zhan took the words with a sad look on his face. Although he didn't know where to find the money, the second brother was implicated by Xiaoyu. Even if he sold himself into slavery, he would still pay for the money.
.
Li didn't say anything, and she knew her words were useless.
As for the money, everything she earned in the past has been handed over to her mother-in-law. This money is a debt, but Mrs. Li is not afraid. As long as Xiaoyu can study and survive the past two years and pass the Tongsheng examination, the money matter will not be difficult to handle.
"Dad, I have nothing to do. I asked my wife to stay and take care of me. You and your elder brother go out to find an inn to stay for one night." Zhan Lao Er spoke in a hoarse voice, and he couldn't breathe after saying a few words.
"Why are you wasting that money? It's not cold, so we're squeezing in this room." Old man Zhan didn't want to spend more money. The little money he had in his hands was probably used to buy pens and ink for Xiaoyu, and the second son's medicine was still paid.
If you have to pay at home, you can save every penny.
