Madam Qi's death was heartbreaking, but before she died, she dragged Qiu Huaixin into the water in a vague way. Not to mention the prefect Jiao in the main hall, at least the villagers in the yard looked at Qiu Huaixin with strange eyes.
"Sir, although the dead are the most important, I cannot understand the reputation of forcing people to death on my back. Please investigate thoroughly." Qiu Huaixin spoke loudly and turned a blind eye to Qi Changlin's hatred gaze.
The Qiu family is now in trouble. Whether for themselves or for the Qiu family, Qiu Huaixin cannot let himself bear this bad reputation.
Qi Changlin held Madam Qi, who had lost his breath in both hands, looked at the blood-stained clothes on her chest, closed her eyes hard, and spoke again with hoarse voice, "Please open the page and let my wife go."
Rest assured.”
As for what Qiu Huaixin said to be a thorough investigation, it was a blasphemy to the wife, which made her unable to keep her eyes closed even if she died! Qi Changlin could imagine what the final thorough investigation of the government was in order to clear Qiu Huaixin's charges.
"Changlin, you?" Qiu Huaixin was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Qi Changlin, who had always been upright, said so, and in order to protect Mrs. Qi, he actually ignored the truth.
Suddenly turning his head, a terrifying light burst out from Qi Changlin's red eyes, and his already angry face looked hideous and distorted because of this sneer. "Why is the third young master so aggressive? Can't even let a dead person go?
It’s not enough to die my wife. I have to force my family to death to have five people in Qi’s family to feel at ease?”
There was unconcealed hatred in the hysterical questioning. Qi Changlin hugged Qi's wife's body in grief. Even though his wife was illiterate, she was the most polite and hardly spoke to the outsider in the village.
But now that people are dead, these people still don’t let their wife go, wanting her to die with the reputation of being unchastity. Qi Changlin can imagine that his two children will be criticized in the future because they have a beautiful mother.
, he would become a laughing stock, because his wife did not keep her wife's words and went to climb the bed, but ended up dying.
"Changlin, calm down." Jiao Lianyu, who had been watching, spoke in a deep voice, looked at his close friend who had lost his beloved wife in heartache, and then looked at Qiu Huaixin begging, "Changlin almost lost his beloved daughter, but now he lost his beloved wife,
Huaixin, you have more than enough, so why not wait until Changlin calms down before talking about it.”
Qiu Huaixin could indeed understand Qi Changlin's mood at this moment, and he would not care about him, but for the sake of the Qiu family's reputation, Qiu Huaixin could not let the matter go through and had to check it out in front of Prefect Jiao.
Once the news of his own slaughtering comes out, even if the government investigates it clearly and returns his innocence in the future, I am afraid no one will believe it anymore.
Although Qiu Huaixin is unruly and casual, he is also a child of a noble family after all. He has received the best teaching since childhood. Compared to his innocence, the people of Qianzhong Prefecture are more willing to believe that it was Lord Qiu's youngest son who forced people to death.
”.
Prefect Jiao, who was sitting upright in the main hall, looked at the two people who turned against each other in a blink of an eye. The prefect Jiao had to thoroughly investigate it, "The third young master did not need to say much. It is my duty to investigate the case to the bottom of it."
Hearing this, Qi Changlin laughed silently and looked at the ugly faces in front of him with a sarcastic face. "The student thought that the adult was a clean official and a good official who ruled for the people, but he didn't expect that the adult was just
He is a greedy person. Since he wants to curry favor with Shangguan, why should he show such a fair and honest attitude? It is extremely ridiculous and ridiculous!"
Prefect Jiao ignored Qi Changlin's rumors. Lord Wei, who was responsible for recording, couldn't help but shook his head and sigh. Although he had some talent for studying, unfortunately, the human relationships and worldly affairs did not make any sense. He was happy to make such a big talk today, but the compensation was
It's your own future.
With the character of Lord Qiu and Prefect Jiao, the two of them, as officials of the court, are not even bothered with Qi Changlin, a young scholar. But even if he was admitted to the imperial examination, his crazy words were spread today, and he could only sit on a stool in the yamen in the future.
, if you disagree, you will slander Shangguan like this. Which official dares to support and reuse such a subordinate?
No matter how angry Qi Changlin was, since the prefect Jiao wanted to thoroughly investigate, he would not worry about his face and feelings. After interrogating the villagers, he soon found out some signs.
"The civilian woman has indeed felt something wrong with Mrs. Qi in the past few days. She often feels like she is in a state of mind when working in the field. If the civilian woman hadn't reminded her, Mrs. Qi would have hoeed her own feet."
A woman living at the entrance of the village also expressed her confusion, "Miss Qi took her two children back to her parents' home three days ago, and she also carried a basket full of things. At that time, the civilian woman asked Qi.
Madam, she only said that she owed her parents’ family over the years, so she brought some more things this time.”
Qi Changlin wanted to study, but there was no man in the Qi family who could do it. No matter how hard Mrs. Qi could endure some work, she still couldn't do it. She married Qi Changlin for many years and was the elder brother of her parents who came to help during the autumn harvest.
Mrs. Qi's family was kind-hearted. In the past, whether she caught rabbits on the mountain or caught fish in the water, she would give her some to Mrs. Qi, hoping that she and the children would eat better.
Every year, hundreds of kilograms of coarse grains are sent to prevent the wife of Qi from going hungry.
The Qi family is poor. In recent years, the Qi family has been supplemented by the wife of Qi. She will not take things to her parents except for three bodhis every year. This time it is indeed suspicious that she suddenly brings a basket of things back to her parents' home.
At this time, the woman in the village who was good at tailing clothes also spoke, "Miss Qi made two pairs of shoes and two clothes for her two children, but the size was a bit large. The two children would probably not be able to wear them in a few years. The old woman
When he asked a question, Mrs. Qi said that her mother-in-law was getting worse and worse, and she was worried that she would not have time to make shoes and clothes for her children in the future, so she would do it in advance while she was free now."
The children in the farmhouse will make larger clothes, so that they can be worn for several years. If the size is suitable and the child grows fast, the new clothes will not be worn for a year. So what Madam Qi said to the old woman
People didn't think much about it.
Constable Liu had already returned with physical evidence at this time, "Sir, in addition to two pairs of new shoes and new clothes, there are also several sets of smaller old clothes in the cabinet."
The old clothes belong to Qi Changlin and Qi Niangzi themselves. There is no need to say that Qi Changlin is a scholar. Even if the Qi family is hungry, they will have to cut cloth for him to make some clothes that can support the storefront, so he wears them.
It is also suitable to change the small clothes for children to wear.
Prefect Jiao looked at the clothes that were unfolded in Constable Liu's hands, including three long gowns with blue and blue and moon white. The size was about the same size as those of fourteen or fifteen years old.
As for the four clothes that Madam Qi used her old clothes, the size was worn by a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. Moreover, the girl's family will not grow much at this age. These four clothes can always be
wear.
Adding to the two sets of clothes cut out from new cloth, Madam Qi made all the clothes her children have from now to their teenage years.
"Sir, except for a few old clothes with too many patches, the rest of the clothes in the cabinet have been reduced." Constable Liu discovered this when he inspected the cabinet. It was obvious that Mrs. Qi was a little older.
The day will be filled with death.
After Madam Qi's parents were brought over from the neighboring village to question, the old woman almost cried, "Mom's stupid girl..."
The sad and sad crying was the pain and helplessness of a mother who wanted a white-haired man to send black hair. The simple-minded old woman would not hide it. Madam Qi returned to her parents' home three days ago, and she was just asking her father to speak in her words.
The mother and brother will take care of two more children in the future.
At that time, Mrs. Qi's mother held her daughter's wrist, which only had a bone, so she didn't think about it and talk nonsense. She would be more at ease in the future. If she couldn't do it, she would be someone to bring her back. These brothers from her parents' family could help.
The old woman even told Miss Qi to take a better meal, and planned to find someone to get a prescription and get a few medicines to adjust her body.
As for the basket of things that Mrs. Qi brought back to her parents' home, her parents' home not only did not need to put twenty more eggs on her home for her to take them back to nourish her body.
When Magistrate Jiao heard this, he almost understood that Madam Qi returned to her parents' home in the same lunar calendar to entrust her orphans. However, her family thought she was sick and weak, so she would say those words that if she was gone in the future, she would take care of her children.
