Chapter 43 The salesman can go work as a police dog
Facing Xiao Qian's questioning, Shang Bingjiu said: "I picked it up in the mountains."
"Picked it up in the mountains?"
Xiao Qian's voice trembled with grief, and the sadness in his eyes became even stronger.
The little sister died miserably. It was said that she was skinned and dismembered by those evil men.
Qiu Ren stated in his memorial to the court that he had buried his younger sister. Did it turn out that they didn't bury her properly at all?
Poor little girl...
Xiao Qian closed his eyes and felt unbearable sadness: "I wanted to go to Ye Jing with Warlock Shang and Miss Xiao, but I'm afraid we can't go together. After returning to the county government, I also asked Warlock Shang to draw a map of the Julu Mountains and inform the orphans. The specific whereabouts of my sister’s body. I want to take my little sister home.”
Shang Bingjiu looked at him.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and pointed to the cherry field in the distance with a smile: "We're here."
Xiao Qian took a deep breath and temporarily forced himself to forget the sadness.
He recalled the files in the county government office: "The two farmhouses next to the cherry field housed Grandma Liu's two sons respectively. Separated by a stream and a plank bridge, there was a thatched house, where Grandma Liu lived."
"This thatched house..." Yaoyao wrinkled her nose in disgust, "It's too shabby, isn't it?! She obviously has two sons, why does she still live in such a shabby house?"
Everyone stepped into the thatched house. The room was very dark, and the only furniture was an old bed and an old chair.
Xiao Qian touched the chair: "There is still a little red paint on the back of the chair. This bed and chair should have been her dowry. After the separation, they were moved into this thatched house."
"There's still a little soup in the pot!" Xiao Baojing found a heavy black iron pot on the stove by the window and got closer to smell it. "Before the accident, my mother-in-law seemed to be simmering chicken soup, but she only had pasta with vegetarian fillings in her stomach. There was no chicken. In other words, she did not touch the pot of chicken soup, but ate the steamed buns or dumplings given by others, and was poisoned to death.”
She rubbed her nose and pulled Shang Bingjiu uncertainly: "It smells like chicken soup. Seller, can you smell it?"
Yaoyao is proud: "My master has the best nose, and he can smell it as soon as he smells it!"
Being stared at expectantly by the three people in the room, Shang Bingjiu said: "..."
Is his sense of smell meant for this kind of thing?
His fangs pressed against his thin lips, half-smiling, and he said lazily: "It's chicken soup, a thick soup stewed by a whole old hen. It was stewed yesterday evening."
"Wow, you can even smell the concentration of chicken soup and when it was stewed?"
Xiao Baojing looked admiring.
If the salesman lived in her world, he could work as a police dog!
Shang Bingjiu stared at her with evil eyes, suspecting that she had no good intentions.
There are dishes and chopsticks placed next to the stove.
Xiao Qian's eyes were bright and he picked up one of the soup bowls: "The soup bowl is old and has the word "囍" printed on the bottom of the bowl. It should also be a dowry gift from Grandma Liu. The lonely princess once said that when folk women get married, most of the dowry soup bowls become There are two pairs, but there is only one soup bowl. Where is the other one?"
Xiao Baojing's almond-shaped eyes lit up: "If it wasn't broken, then there is still one. It was probably used by Granny Liu to serve chicken soup and given to someone! Granny Liu was probably delivering chicken soup to that person's house. I ate poisoned pasta! ”
Yao Yao said in a crisp voice: "So, the person who eats this pot of chicken soup is the murderer of my mother-in-law!"
Who would an old mother-in-law make chicken soup for when she lives in this remote suburb of the city?
The answer is self-evident.
Yaoyao found an old soup bowl with the word "囍" printed on it from the house of Grandma Liu's eldest son.
Xiao Qian immediately ordered someone to invite the county magistrate to re-try the case.
Xiao Baojing listened nearby and knew what happened.
It turned out that the two pairs of sons and daughters-in-law were greedy for Granny Liu's money and cherry fields, so they put their money together and decided to kill her directly and take back all the money and cherry fields. They sent their daughter-in-law to deliberately show their kindness by making delicious steamed buns and inviting Granny Liu to their house for dinner.
Grandma Liu had not eaten at her son's house for many years. She was so happy that she bought an old hen at the market. Thinking of making soup to replenish the children's health, she happily took the chicken soup to her son's house.
Unexpectedly, the steamed bun handed over by his son was laced with a large amount of rat poison.
They dug a pit in the cherry field, originally planning to bury Granny Liu in it without anyone noticing and slowly smooth things over. Unexpectedly, someone dug up the pit in the middle of the night and stole Granny Liu's body. !
The person who stole the body of Granny Liu was the cherry tree spirit.
The girl in pink wiped her tears and stood by the field edge: "Mother-in-law... When my mother-in-law married here, I couldn't change my body. She watered me, fertilized me, and caught bugs for me every day. She was still very young at that time, and Her husband was very loving. Later, later. Her husband-in-law died of illness, and her life gradually became very difficult. She could only eat one meal a day. Some people thought that she was young and wanted to find a matchmaker for her to remarry, but she refused. She was afraid that her stepfather would treat her badly.
"I...I watched her grow old day by day, and her son and daughter-in-law were clamoring to separate from her. When she first got married, her dowry was a chair and a bed, painted with new paint and bright red. It's so nice! But then the chair and the bed. The red paint was gone and looked dusty. Along with the old dishes and plates with red 囍 printed on them when she got married, her son and daughter-in-law threw them at the door as garbage, but were picked up one by one by her precious ones. Thatch.”
She told Granny Liu's past events, and most of the people present showed unbearable expressions.
Grandma Liu's son and daughter-in-law knelt on the ground, lowering their heads and crying, not knowing whether it was shame or fear.
Xiao Qian's face was cold and solemn: "Zhang Ping'an, Zhang Fugui, you disrespected your mother, poisoned your loved ones, and you are in vain! I condemn you two to be beheaded in public tomorrow at noon! Ma Pei'er, Zheng Chunhua, you are married and do not know I advise my husband-in-law, if you are unkind and unfilial by helping the emperor, I will punish each of you with thirty canes to serve as a warning to others!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He looked around at the people and said: "Since ancient times, filial piety has been the first priority. Among animals, there are lambs kneeling to breastfeed and crows feeding back, not to mention humans? How can there be benevolence and righteousness if there are no parents in the eyes? I will write a memorial to the emperor of tomorrow. Parents fulfill their responsibilities as parents, but if their children abandon their parents, they may be punished or served in corvee depending on the seriousness of the case. Neighbors and fellow villagers should supervise each other!”
Xiao Baojing looked at him with admiration.
The prince looked upright and did not look like someone who would join forces with his sister to murder the ninth princess.
So the fourth princess secretly killed the ninth princess, he shouldn't know, right?
It's almost dusk, and the setting sun is like blood.
Xiao Baojing stood on the ridge of the field and watched the little girl in pink burying Granny Liu in the cherry field.
The little girl lay on the grave and cried: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been smart enough to give you money, you wouldn't have died..."
Yaoyao comforted her beside her: "It's not your fault, it's all the bad people's fault! Here, I'll give you a red egg, don't cry!"
The little girl wiped her tears and muttered: "You are so stupid. You only eat red eggs when there are happy events..."
The long wind passes by and the stream gurgling.
Xiao Baojing dimly saw that Granny Liu seemed to have turned into a young newlywed, with a red velvet flower on her temples and plump and rosy cheeks. She was walking across the wooden bridge with a basket of cherries, happily returning to her parents' home.
She is someone else's grandma, but she also has her own grandma.
She is going to find her own aunt.
Xiao Baojing couldn't help but think, who said there are no happy events?
…
Because Xiao Baojing and Shang Bingjiu were leaving for Ye Jing tomorrow, and Xiao Qian was going south to Julu County, so they got together and had a dinner in the yard at night.
In addition to the wine and food sent by the county magistrate, Shang Bingjiu also took out cherries and wine from Xiao Baojing's bag and placed them on the Eight Immortals table.
"You can also eat the things that others offer to the gods," the old god Xiao Baojing reminded on the spot, "there are specialties and taboos in the offerings, and you are not afraid of shortening your life!"
