On the sixth day of June, everything is suitable.
This day is Li Sanniang's tenth day off. She originally wanted to take Lu Zhu'er to go shopping, but the weather was not good. The day has been gloomy since the morning. The mother and daughter had just eaten. After breakfast, the rain started to fall.
In this case, Li Sanniang had no choice but to spend time at home with Lu Zhuer.
However, Lu Zhu'er was not angry at all. Li Sanniang asked her: "Zhu'er is not happy?
Looking at the rain, it should be raining at noon. Stop, can you please take Pearl out for lunch?”
Lu Zhu'er nestled in Li Sanniang's arms. After hearing Li Sanniang's question, she raised her head in confusion and asked, "Zhu'er is happy. My mother-in-law is at home, so Zhu'er is happy."
Li Sanniang looked at Lu Zhu'er Er's little face felt full and swollen with heart. He hugged Lu Zhuer on his head and kissed her twice.
It was raining, so Li Sanniang, her mother, Mrs. Li, Qiuxiang and Linglan opened the window in the side hall and sat down, watching the rainy scene in the yard together while drinking warm drinks. While chatting, it was a rare moment of leisure.
After leaving Lu Zhuer, Xiao Liulang and Xiao Ping An to play on the short platform, Li Sanniang and the other girls gathered around the round table.
The ladies at this table, namely Li Sanniang and Qiuxiang, no longer have needles and threads in their hands.
The two of them really didn't know how to do any needlework. The calluses on Qiuxiang's hands were all worn out by using weapons since she was a child.
As for Li Sanniang, her hands don’t have any calluses. They are soft, slender and beautiful. These hands don’t know needlework, but they can diagnose pulses and can afford different kinds of needles and threads to sew people and save people’s lives.
Mother Li, Sister-in-law Li and Linglan all held needles and threads in their hands, and they poked the fabric in their hands twice.
Since Sister-in-law Li gave birth to Xiao Liulang, even though she stayed at the Li family for two months, the whole family was reluctant to let her work even a little bit. However, it is difficult to give birth at an advanced age, and it is an unprecedented caesarean section. A uterine delivery will ultimately result in a loss of vitality.
Thanks to Mrs. Li coming from a family of warriors, her body has always been very healthy. Otherwise, you will know what the outcome will be.
Li Sanniang patted the back of Sister-in-law Li's hand lightly. Seeing Sister-in-law Li looking over in confusion, she took away the needle and thread in Sister-in-law Li's hand, "Sister-in-law, it's time to take a rest.
I finally worked hard. When I come back, it’s such a good opportunity for us to get together. Sister-in-law, please accompany me and talk more.”
Sister-in-law Li is not someone who refuses to listen to advice. She understands what Li Sanniang means. I feel sorry for her.
"Don't tell me, you have all been busy on duty in the suburbs of Beijing these days. There is really something embarrassing happening in Chang'an City recently."
When Mrs. Li said this, not to mention Li Sanniang, even Qiuxiang and Linglan looked over curiously.
As soon as Mother Li heard Mrs. Li's tone, she knew what Mrs. Li was going to say.
Mother Li pinned the needle in her hand and put it back into the small dustpan. She raised her head and glanced at Xiaotan. She saw that Luzhu'er and the others were playing well and didn't pay attention to this place.
"Tell me about it, we girls really should listen carefully to this matter."
Mother Li had already spoken, and Sister-in-law Li slowly told everyone about the recent events in Chang'an. A case of wife murder occurred in the city and was decided by Dali Temple.
The original reason is that Dali Temple recently sentenced a wife-murder case. If it were an ordinary wife-murder case, it would not cause such a big battle in Chang'an City for people to comment.
After all, there are many sad things in this world. There are many cases of incompetent men beating women and children at will. There are also cases of accidentally beating people to death under the pretext of drunkenness.
When people in Chang'an City hear such things, most of them will lament and say "bad luck" and forget it.
However, there are three things that are unusual about this wife-murder case. The first perpetrator is a mandarin, a clerk who works in the county government;
The second perpetrator He is a son-in-law;
The status of a son-in-law is rare and is considered a rare thing.
The third perpetrator not only killed his wife, but also his parents-in-law and his own children!
Tiger poison does not eat its children, but a person who is so cruel as to kill his own child is truly a cruel person!
More importantly, because the facts of this case were truly unconscionable, Dali Temple even posted notices outside after the verdict to make the facts and verdict public. This move of Dali Temple is naturally to inform everyone that the law of heaven is clear, the legal network is wide and open, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty will not let any bad person go.
This move not only calmed the hearts of the people, but also deterred the bad guys.
However, in addition to this, Dali Temple's move made this inhumane case of a son-in-law who killed his wife even more hotly discussed in the public opinion list of Chang'an City.
In Mrs. Li's words: "Not only in the teahouse, but also at the tea stalls in the downtown area, there are storytellers talking about this matter."
"It's actually an official? " Suzuran asked in surprise.
Sister-in-law Li nodded, "Yes, although this Mr. Xu is not from Chang'an City, he is indeed an official.
If I remember correctly, he is from Lin'an County, Yuhang County The official of the county government.
Judging from the notices posted by the officials, Xu Lang was very smart when he was young, and he had been reading for several years. Later, after his father died unexpectedly, the family became embarrassed, so he stopped studying.
I heard that no matter how tall he was, he was spotted by a local wealthy family and became his son-in-law when he was old. "
Qiuxiang asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, then your family has agreed that your son-in-law will become your son-in-law? "
"How do we know this?
The notice didn’t say this, it just said that he had become a son-in-law for someone else. ”
"I'm afraid it's either that the family is poor or that there are many brothers. If I don't become a son-in-law, I won't be able to get a wife."
Li Sanniang said this guessing, and the girls nodded in agreement after thinking about it. Li Sanniang's words.
"I guess Xu Lang didn't have enough confidence in his in-law family before he became a sword and pen official. The crime occurred in the second year after Xu Lang became a sword and pen official. His wife Huiniang and her two children were living together with their parents. On the way to worship at the temple on the mountain, they were intercepted and killed by bandits. All the people in this group were dead."
When Li Sanniang heard this, she thought about the time Sister Li mentioned just now. Xu Lang's knife and pen official must have been appointed when the saint mentioned the imperial examination earlier.
“Sister-in-law, since Xu Lang is the clerk of the local county government, maybe this case was just based on robbery and murder by bandits from the beginning, right?
Then how did it end up on his head? "
Mother Li took over the conversation and continued to talk to everyone: "I heard someone say about this. It was said that the county government clerk discovered clues during the autopsy and found evidence to prove that the bandits were involved. It is not random robbery and killing, but deliberate killing. Robbery is incidental and makes people think it is robbery.
As luck would have it, a detachment of the Du Family Army happened to be nearby at the time. They heard that there were bandits and were about to suppress the bandits. It turned out that where the bandits were, they were actually more than a dozen fugitives who had committed crimes. "
Li Sanniang nodded, but still asked doubtfully: "If this is the case, the local government will directly judge it. Why does it need to be submitted to Dali Temple? "
Sister-in-law Li sighed and took over Mother Li's words and continued: "Hey, because the county government can't find any evidence to prove that Xu Lang committed the crime!
However, in this situation, who doesn’t know that Xu Lang instigated the fugitive to deliberately kill his wife, parents-in-law, and his own two children in the name of a bandit?
This was a family of five. I heard that there was an old man driving the cart and a wife who was traveling with her. All seven of them died.
The county magistrate was a good man. He immediately imprisoned Xu Lang and submitted the case file to Dali Temple.
Later, people from Dali Temple went to Lin'an County, checked one by one, and found the pregnant Hualou Xianghao who had been hidden elsewhere by Xu Lang, and everything was revealed! ”
