Xie's mother is very good at reading people's faces. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the roles played by the three people in the room. She shouted: "Xiao Lizi, why are you so outspoken? Come sit down together and let's have a good chat. So
You are young, I like it just by looking at it, how old are you?"
Li Guolou scolded with a straight face: "Thank you, Mom, don't bite your nose and talk. Give me a reply. If you dare to protect someone, I will escort you to the border guard in Western Xinjiang and find you an old man with a bad body odor."
Xie Ma was immediately suppressed by Li Guolou and did not dare to get close to Li Guolou again. She realized that people in the yamen were not easy to fool. She carefully sat on the chair with her buttocks only half-sit down. She lowered her head and confessed, not daring to
Move a little.
"Hey! Xiao Lizi, my mother Xie knows the seriousness of the matter and promises to tell the truth. But the second grandma is really a good person and never hooks up with others outside. She also handles the situation politely with the old customers in the past. The business is not here.
There is still friendship." Xie Ma took the lead and emboldened herself first.
Ai Hai did not expect that Li Guolou knew how to scare people in the Yamen. He seemed to know a lot about the affairs in the Yamen.
Ai Hai retorted: "Xie Mom, did I ask you a question? How can you ask and answer yourself? We haven't concluded yet whether Xie Xiuzhu had an affair with Man Baye. Please tell me first about this case.
Are you involved? If it's not very deep, I would like to advise you to get out of this pit as soon as possible. If adultery is found, you will be punished. Do you understand?"
I don’t know whether she was really scared or pretending to be scared. Mother Xie began to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead. Under the light, the three government officials were so scary, with ferocious faces and exuding evil spirits. Especially Li Guolou in the corner looked like a ghost.
, motionless. Don’t know where you are looking?
Xie Ma, who was usually smart and talkative, just nodded in agreement and couldn't even speak clearly, and her neatness was gone.
Ai Haidao: "Xie Ma, first tell me about your relationship with Man Youli. Have you ever benefited from him?"
Xie Ma suddenly hardened her back, straightened her breasts, and said with a slap: "Sir Ai, I can guarantee with my head that I have never received the benefits of Man Yuan. Why should I want his benefits? Xiuzhu will protect me and my husband all our lives."
I can’t make a fortune, but I can still eat and drink without worries. As long as I don’t betray my second mistress, my children will also be able to live a good life in the future.”
Ma Dequan said suspiciously: "Mom Xie, how long have you been married? Haven't you had a child yet? Look, you are already forty years old."
Mother Xie said anxiously: "Look, you can't speak at all. I've only been married for more than a year. It's normal to have no children. Besides, I'm not even forty years old, and I still have the tail of my youth. You are a lot older yourself.
You're an old man with gray hair. You should have gone home to have your grandson a long time ago. Why is Mr. Bao still using you? The yamen should use people like Xiao Lizi so that you can be eliminated as soon as possible."
Speaking of the woman's age, Xie's mother couldn't help but become furious. She could still give birth, and with the support of her second mistress, her husband Wei Zhuangyong did not dare to go out for prostitution anymore, so he devoted all his energy to her, but the time had not come yet. When the time came, his stomach would
big.
When Ma Dequan heard Xie's mother angrily scolding him for being old and ignorant, he couldn't help but get angry and yelled: "How dare you! You want to go to prison. You are full of oil and water. Let me lose weight first, clean your intestines and turn it into a reed stick."
Walk out of the Yamen. I'm not old enough like you, and I don't know how you look at people."
Xie's mother was not afraid of Ma Dequan's dirty voice, but she was afraid of Li Guolou, who was educated, quiet, and spoke in a sinister manner. When she heard someone picking a fight with her, she stood up and shouted: "I didn't rob, and I didn't kill anyone."
, Thirdly, I didn’t seduce Master Manba, and fourthly, I didn’t tell lies, so why are you taking me to the Yamen? Even if I go to the Golden Gate Bridge to do official business, I will send you to the eighteenth level of hell."
Ma Dequan did not expect that his words would give the initiative in the room to Xie's mother. Looking at her arrogant and murderous look, she seemed to want to kill people, fight and scold her. Wouldn't this turn into a naughty act on the street?
?Ma Dequan knew that his skill was to scare people and that he could not really be reasonable. He hurriedly shut up and waited for Ai Hai to save him.
Ai Hai scolded: "Xie Mom, what are you yelling at? Will your master be able to survive this way? Do you want to make your master unable to cross the Naihe Bridge? The Wei Mansion is not unlucky enough, is it? Are we going to make this place eighty?
You will only be happy if we all go to the Yamen together to eat in prison."
After Ai Hai said a few words, Xie Ma was immediately speechless and sat down again obediently. She also didn't forget to glare at Ma Dequan. Such a rough-faced guy is a softie and scolds the public! She is not afraid of anyone.
.
Li Guolou said slowly: "Thank you, Mom, the knife that penetrated Wei Wenshao's heart was a sharp knife. Your husband Wei Zhuangyong is an expert at using this kind of knife. So you have to think clearly, for someone, you have to kill your husband."
Is it worth getting involved in this case?"
Xie's mother turned pale and said: "Xiao Lizi, don't drag our family into trouble. We are poor and cannot afford to fight in court. As long as you don't arrest my husband, I will say anything. Xiao Lizi, who do you think is the accomplice?"
I will testify against him."
Li Guolou's chest was tight and he almost couldn't breathe. It turned out that he could still handle the case in the yamen. He had all the witnesses and material evidence, which were obtained through heresy. For people like Xie Ma, as long as they don't violate her basic interests, anyone can do it.
Betrayed. Now there are two people she will not speak ill of for a while, that is the second mistress Xie Xiuzhu and her husband Wei Zhuangyong. The others are worse than dogs in Xie Ma’s eyes, and they can be thrown into prison at any time, and
She is the key witness.
Ai Hai said dissatisfied: "Xie Ma, where are you talking about? Now that the murderer has been caught, we are just looking for any accomplices? If there are any, you can make meritorious service if you tell them. If not, don't retaliate against Wei Mansion."
People, we have no enmity or enmity with the Wei Mansion, and no one wants to kill the people in the Wei Mansion."
Time passed by, Xie Ma lowered her head in thought, thinking about the strangeness of this case, and finally said: "The death of the master must have nothing to do with the second mistress. She is in the house, and she usually listens to plays at most.
I was with you all the time when we were walking around the shops. There was something about the pretty boy sticking up to us, but no matter what line of work we used to do, a man with no money wanted to seduce my second mistress, and he didn’t even think about himself. Who would eat the pretty boy as a meal?
As for the rich and powerful Ximen Qing, we are not lucky enough to meet him. At most, we meet people like Man Ba Ye. That is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. He just says a few polite words to deal with the situation. Who would do it in public?
You're messing around. No matter what, Master Manba is a good guy outside. How could he disgrace the Ax Gang on the street? You said so, Mr. Guan."
Ai Hai asked: "What about the people in the mansion?"
Xie Ma looked at the person sideways and said: "Our yard is not very big. If you scream, you can hear it on the street. Who would mess around? Xiuzhu promised in front of the Bodhisattva that she would never be a Pan Jinlian in her life. As for her husband's death,
Well, that’s a different matter. Xiao Lizi, you can’t blame Xiuzhu for being a licentious woman. Oh;;;;;;; Little Liz, are you married? I look at you and you look like a wealthy man. With this outfit, I’m afraid you’re a yamen official.
I have to work here for one year, are you a relative of the little plum in the palace?"
When this question was raised, Ai Hai did not scold Xie Ma. He also wanted to know the truth. The three people in the room all stared at Li Guolou, as if Xiao Lizi had become a suspect.
Li Guolou coughed and said: "Thank you, Mom, don't talk nonsense. I am not from Hebei and have nothing to do with the people in the palace. Tell me, except for Man Youli who lost to Wei Wenshao back then, there is no hug."
The beauty will return. Is there anyone else who wants your master to die? Especially the people in the Wei family, please think about it carefully before talking to me."
Xie Ma scratched her head and ears, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that there is really no such thing. If I didn't like anyone, I would have fired him long ago. Although I have only been in the Wei Mansion for a few years, I know that these people are all old people.
He is still a domestic servant, and he will do nothing but serve others in his life. My husband is even less likely. He used to live in the grandma's house, eating and drinking slovenly without any savings. It was me who fell in love with him. That turned him into a phoenix.
The master and the second mistress have given us the gift of being the head of our family, and everything we have now. Our family is a grateful people. If we had known that something would happen to the master, we would have risked our lives to keep him comforted."
Ai Hai said irritably: "Xie Mom, every word you say is nonsense. Just tell me, what are you and your husband doing tonight? Don't just tease us."
Xie Ma said: "My husband is playing mahjong here. Me! I will do needlework with Xiaoqin for a while, and then go back to the room to sleep. Wait until my husband finishes playing mahjong;;;;;;you know
. He won money and was so excited;;;;;; If you don’t understand, you are just like a gourd. So we were the last to rush out when we heard the second grandma’s cry, no wonder we were the ones.”
Ai Hai smiled and said: "Xie Mom, I don't understand what you said. I don't have a wife yet. Now tell me about Xie Xiuzhu passing out."
When Xie Ma heard this, she became angry again, stood up and shouted: "Oh! After a long time of making trouble, you still don't believe Xiuzhu. What I said was bullshit."
Ai Hai retorted: "Xie Ma, do you understand the rules? The records in the yamen must be complete. I have written them now. The case will be closed in a few days today, so there is no need to trouble Master Wu."
If you ask Master Wu to take notes, you will have to pay for the retouching. He asks you for money based on the number of words, so you might not give it. If you meet me today, you will burn incense. Do you understand?"
Li Guolou and Xie Ma were amazed together. They went to the yamen to take notes and they had to pay for it, and they could also clearly mark the price. There were two doors in the yamen, so it was really reasonable not to come in if you had no money.
Li Guolou was thinking in his mind, how many people will get benefits privately when these adults are sitting in court to try the case? Even if the condemned prisoners travel all the time in order to suffer less in court, they still have to spend money to bribe the government officials. I heard that
Locked in a cell, there are all kinds of tricks, three, six, nine, and nine, and they are clearly divided. Prisoners without money are miserable and the prison is hell. But prisoners with money are domineering and enjoying themselves in the cell.
Life is as colorful as usual. I even heard that some thefts in the capital were committed by people in prison. I really want to know how decayed the prison has become? I hope I can have the opportunity to visit it in the future.
Li Guolou is no longer interested in Xie Ma's words. This old cabbage has no use value at all. It is impossible for him to say a word that is unfavorable to Xie Xiuzhu. Even if Xie Xiuzhu pretends to faint and die, what he says from Xie Ma's mouth will be
It was Xie Xiuzhu who almost died. As for Wei Wenshao's desire to take a concubine, the old fox Xie Ma didn't seem to know about it, and she still didn't say anything about it. She was much more difficult to deal with than the second mistress Xie Xiuzhu. Li Guolou thought about it
Let’s stop wasting time with Xie’s mother in roundabout ways. Ask the next person for a confession, and then compete with Xie’s mother when the situation makes new progress.
