In the dark night, raindrops as big as mung beans fell on the rubble, and the crackling sound seemed to play on people's heartstrings.
The corridor in the eight-character alley was full of people, sitting or standing, and the atmosphere was low and stressful.
Fang Wu and Ji Xuan both had a child standing next to them.
The child had some bruises on his face, and his red and swollen eyes looked angrily at the big man who was being detained by the government officials not far away.
The child had a dull face and stared at the floor with no emotion in his eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Zhang Xuan was sitting not far away, playing with a stone, his eyes rolling, and an impatient look was written all over his face.
"Let's talk about it." Ji Xuan spread a few pieces of paper on the bench and covered it with her hands to ensure that it would not get wet from the raindrops. She stared at the big man and Wang Juan and his wife seriously with her eyes.
"It's just like what you saw." Even though the big man's hands and feet were restrained, he still resisted and walked towards Wang Juan step by step.
Wang Juan, on the other hand, was protected by An Qing behind her, far away from where the big man was standing.
Just now, the big man witnessed the way the child called An Qing daddy, and the words were gentle and kind.
But what about facing him? Punches and kicks.
"What are you talking about? I want to hear the cause of the murder." Seeing that the big man wanted to take action, Zhang Xuan took a few steps forward and said angrily.
"If you want to listen, I have to speak?" The big man twisted, barely breaking free from the shackles of the yamen servant, and hurting the child again.
"Don't be impatient and persuade him slowly. He will always explain. The evidence is almost complete. It's just a matter of time before the case is closed." Fang Wu stopped Zhang Xuandao.
"It's a matter of time? I don't have time to talk to him about him." Zhang Xuan dodged Fang Wu's outstretched foot and stepped on the bench where Ji Xuan was sitting.
Ji Xuan looked at the foot and then looked up at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan shook his head, put his feet on the ground and retracted. Only then did he hear the big man ask Wang Juan: "Whose is he?"
The big man pursed his lips like a child, with a look of longing in his eyes. At this time, the life experience of this child may be the only thing on the big man's mind.
In fact, he knew in his heart who the child belonged to, he just didn't give up.
"What nonsense are you asking? Don't you know from your facial features that it has nothing to do with you?" Zhang Xuan whistled, ending the big man's extravagant hopes with one sentence.
"I want to listen to her." The big man broke away from the yamen servant and bumped towards Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan retreated sharply and ran into Ji Xuan's arms. The two fell into the grass at the bottom of the corridor. The big man turned sharply and hugged the child, although the child resisted the big man very much.
But how can a child resist a big man with extremely thick arms?
"Brother Xu, let him go. He is innocent. He is really not your child, that one is. Brother Xu, I know you like him, but he is really not." Wang Juan said.
Wang Juan spoke very coldly and stared at the child in the big man's arms.
"Brother Xu, don't hurt him. You like him very much, right?" Wang Juan took a step forward and said.
Zhang Xuan climbed over the bench and protected Wang Juan behind him, and asked: "Look at that, that is your child. You have ruined his childhood, are you planning to ruin the rest of his life and let him
Did I witness you strangling a child who was only a few years old?"
"I..." The big man spat out a word, but he still didn't say anything.
"Daman has laws, and the evidence is conclusive. Those who refuse to admit it will be punished by members of the same clan. Those who are pardoned will have their sons not allowed to serve as officials or soldiers!" Ji Xuan also stood up and said.
He held on to the pillars in the corridor and stood leaning on them from outside. He narrowed his eyes and complained a little to Zhang Xuan.
If Zhang Xuan's words hadn't stimulated the big man, he might not have been able to break free from the government officials.
"Let go of that child. Cherish this. God has given you a chance to repent."
As Zhang Xuan spoke, he saw the big man loosen up a bit, pushed Wang Juan to Fang Wu, and pounced on the big man with lightning speed. He only heard the thumping sound mixed with the cry of a child.
Then, Ji Xuan felt something rolling over at her feet. She saw that it was a child, covered in dirt and with countless scratches on his face.
Ji Xuan bent down and picked up the child, comforting her while looking over.
Zhang Xuan bit the big man's wrist. No matter what the big man did to him, he would not let go. Several government officials came up and it took a while to pull the two away.
"If you don't get enough oil and salt, nothing will happen if you don't take action." Zhang Xuan stamped his foot and kicked the big man as he spoke.
Ji Xuan looked at it and shook her head. If Zhang Xuan caused any trouble, he would solve it immediately without hesitation, and would never leave it until later for the trouble to come to him again.
"Listen to what I'm telling you, the law is fair, and those who help others commit crimes will never be spared." Zhang Xuan knew that the big man also had concerns.
He certainly didn't want to be ruined like this, while An Qing and Wang Juan, who were also involved, were safe and sound.
"I think it was about four years ago. I met her. She was gentle and beautiful, but my wife had an impatient personality. She would rush me up the mountain every day, carrying the child every day and doing nothing.
I felt upset, so I said I would go hunting in the mountains every day, but in fact I went to her place."
Just one sentence broke through all the defenses in the big man's heart. He also wanted fairness.
The big man took a breath and said again: "As time went by, she said that the child has grown up and needs a father. The neighbors said that it is not good for the child to make irresponsible remarks. Can we change places to live together? At first I was not willing to follow her
I want to live in the same place, thinking about the trouble of divorcing my wife. I just want to give her money and let her change her place to live."
The big man said intermittently: "But later, when my wife saw me buying a purse and found out that there was someone outside, she also discovered the charcoal fire I had hidden at home. She argued with me several times and refused to give me money. I was forced to panic, so...
"
After saying this, the big man sighed and stared at the widow, "After we discussed it, I followed her wishes and found this doctor. She said that when she gave birth, his medical skills were not good and he hurt her body.
, promised to help her. I went to him with a message, bought kerosene from Blacksmith Wei, and then went to get medicine. I also asked him to imitate my wife’s handwriting for me, saying that my wife was seriously ill and could not bear it.
He was tortured by illness and hanged himself. The reason why he set fire to the house was because he felt that the world was suffering and he didn't want his children to suffer alive. He wrote a suicide note and buried it under the tree. How could you know..."
Little did you know that he was just the widow's purse.
Relying on An Qing's medical fees, I don't know how long it will take to buy a house instead of selling the drug store.
With the butcher and the widow's tenderness, this person naturally became the victim and the receiver. Because the people in this village were unwilling to communicate and she was bullied, how could the butcher not be willing to buy her a house?
The butcher is busy making money and has no time to look after the house.
The money for looking at the house naturally went into the hands of the widow, and it was normal for it to go into the hands of An Qing when it changed hands.
The big man pretended to be his wife and hanged himself because he was afraid that if he didn't use Ma Wu well for the first time, he would kill the person first, leaving only the person who reported the crime.
The child saved himself by peeing.
In the Bazi Hutong, Ji Xuan was leaning on the door frame of her house, teasing the cuckling chicken with a bowl of millet. Standing in front of him was a man who lowered his head to look at his shoes, and a stout woman.
The mother-in-law opened her mouth half-open and stepped on the millet on the ground...
