Then the old woman said, "Your Excellency, please avenge my son." Because although my son Wei Yi'an's temper is not very good, he was indeed murdered by others this time. The origin of the murder, I have already said, and you must have understood it when you think about it. ”

A voice retorted, "This is a case of human nature. If there is no real evidence, you can't just say who did it. ”

"The evidence is not evidence, only it is up to you lords and Qingtian masters to find it. If the situation in the case is already very obvious. Not to mention anything else, just looking at yesterday evening, Jingchen also had a big fight with Yi'an before going back to her parents' house. ”

"Well, I already know that. …… Old lady, didn't you just say that your daughter-in-law's brother is called Feng Qinghong, and he has been a county magistrate? ”

"yes. Just because her family is an official, that's why she is full of majesty, and she looks down on her mother-in-law and husband at all. In fact, she is a white tiger star, and her father-in-law killed her as soon as she entered the door, and this time she ruthlessly made such a ......"

The young woman's voice interjected again, "Mom, don't say that. Whether this sister-in-law has anything to do with it or not needs to be ascertained. You keep saying that it must be her, and the people of the Feng family heard it, aren't you going to make a mistake? ”

The male voice chimed in, "yes." We can't make up our minds first. Who the murderer is, it's not too late to wait until it is found out. Now let me ask one more question. What was the quarrel between the couple yesterday? “

The old woman said, "Ouch! It's a shame to say it! This Jingchen has been getting more and more wrong lately! Whenever Yi'an is not at home, she goes out freely. Of course, I don't need to talk about this situation. However, Yi'an occasionally said a few words to her, and she scolded and turned the world upside down. Not only that, although she herself didn't know the checkpoints, when she heard that Yi'an wanted to take a concubine, she was full of power and tried her best to oppose it. As the saying goes, raising a hen lays eggs. A woman has been married for three years, she has no income, and she does not abide by women's morals, but she relies on the power of her mother's family and looks down on our family. Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it, do you want to be angry or not, but are you hateful? ”

"So, your son once wanted to take a concubine......"

When Jing Mo heard this, he felt that this old woman was really hateful and couldn't help but be angry, and suddenly felt a small flying insect fly into his nostrils. As soon as the nerves in the nostrils are stimulated, they can't help but sneeze. This inadvertent sneeze alarmed the people in the room, and the conversation inside came to an abrupt halt.

An unintentional sneeze caused such a consequence, and Jing Mo felt embarrassed. Of course, Nie Xiaoman also knew that the matter had been frozen, and he was bound to not be able to eavesdrop on it anymore. Xiao Man frowned at Jingmo, and without saying a word, he stood up straight, strode up the stone steps of the main house and walked in, Su Jingmo naturally followed behind in annoyance.

In the middle of the main room is a guest hall lined up with a set of circle chairs covered with purple silk. There was an off-white Sasanian carpet on the floor. There is a mahogany half-table against the wall, which houses many ancient porcelain antiques, and the furnishings are very rich. This guest hall is very large, and it seems that it is usually not used except for special banquets.

Jing Mo thought to himself, it seems that the military expenses of the front-line soldiers' weapons, knives and guns have been swallowed up by this family. It is only a pity that the soldiers on the front line are bathed in blood, and these corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the rear are drinking the blood of the soldiers.

At that time, the door of the hall "creaked" open, and a middle-aged man wearing a large-collared square complement suit came out. Nie Xiaoman originally recognized him, and the two nodded to each other. There was also a short and fat man in a robe and a short beard in the back, but he didn't know Nie Xiaoman and Jing Mo, so he just looked at the two.

Later, Jing Mo learned that the person who greeted Nie Xiaoman was Tong Nanxiao, the general judge in the Jinling Mansion, who was the one who presided over the interrogation in the room before. He has recently solved several thefts in a row, and he has a good reputation. And that Humpty Dumpty is a general judge governor surnamed Jiang under Tong Nanxiao. The one that the two of them heard in a stout voice outside the window was that of the governor.

Tong Nanxiao introduced Governor Jiang to the two of them, and then walked into the room together. There were two women inside, one old and one young, the mother and sister of the deceased Wei Yi'an. The attire is very modest. The old man was fifty-six or seventeen years old, with a wrinkled forehead, a rough yellow complexion, and his eyes were round and dark.

The girl was about twenty-four or five years old, with an egg-round face and flexible eyes, but her face was so white that there was no blood. She wore a narrow-sleeved shirt in gray and blue plain silk, a long skirt of dark color, and embroidered shoes of blue satin on her feet. At this time, she was holding a white towel in her left hand and was rubbing her eyes.

Mother and daughter sat facing each other, relatively sad, clearly controlled by grief. There was also an old woman in her fifties standing next to her, bowing her head, as if her teeth were fighting, adding to the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere in the room.

Nie Xiaoman found a place to sit down, and said to the old woman, "Old lady, we were invited by Feng Jingchen, the daughter-in-law. But we are here only to clear the wrongs of the dead, to seek justice for the hearts of the people and the law, not to defend anyone. I'll explain this first, so please don't get me wrong. ”

The old woman glared at Nie Xiaoman, obviously with some hostility in her eyes, but she couldn't figure out Xiaoman's identity, and she didn't seem to dare to attack. Nie Xiaoman pretended not to see it, and did not meet the old woman's line of sight.

The old woman said slowly: "This guest, if you avenge my son Yi'an, it will be better." Let me tell you, my son Yi'an is the heir of the second room, and he is twenty-eight years old this year, and he is the son of my Wei family's two rooms. He has been courting his wife for three years, but my good daughter-in-law has not yet bore him a son. This time he suffered such a tragic death, and my Wei family has been extinct since then. If you can avenge him, the ancestors of the Wei family should also be grateful. ”

Nie Xiaoman frowned, nodded slightly, turned back to Tong Nanxiao and said, "I have already heard a few words about your conversation just now. This time, I am here to save trouble, please don't be surprised. Now I'm going to take a look at the corpse. …… Haven't you experienced it? ”

"Yes, I have tested it with Governor Jiang. In my opinion, Wei Yi'an must have been killed. ”

Jing Mo listened to his words and was secretly amused. Jing Mo knew that he had a weakness of fast talking, and Nie Xiaoman often said that he was almost reckless. Now the recklessness of this Tong Tong's sentence seems to be one level higher than himself.

Nie Xiaoman's expression was as usual, and he replied slowly: "Yes, he was really killed?" Have you ever gotten a murder weapon? ”

"Not really. But judging from the scar on his chest, it was obvious that he had been fatally killed by a sharp knife. ”

"Then this one is a murder. Can you be sure? ”

Governor Jiang hurriedly said, "That's nature!" We searched for a long time, but we couldn't find the murder weapon. This alone can clearly be seen that he was undoubtedly killed. ”

"Good. We'll see. ”

The fat man was the first to guide him vigorously, and when he went out of the hall, and through the guest hall, he went to open the door of the study on the east side.

"Sex is quick to speak", it is indeed possible to make the comment of Governor Jiang. When Tong Nanxiao asked, there was no part for him, Jing Mo only heard him open his mouth, and it seemed that he had been snubbed for a long time. At this moment, he saw Xiaoman and Jingmo, and he clearly wanted to take the opportunity to vent and show off. Nie Xiaoman deliberately perfunctory him again, and he became more and more proud.

There was a messy and terrible scene in the book room. Two or three steps away from the door, there was the corpse of Wei Yi'an, with his head east and feet west. He was wearing a stone blue and flowered eight-group wedged tassel gown, and a cloud brocade half-arm was covered on the outside, and he was wearing a pair of light camel-colored Chinese silk kudzu pants on his lower body, and the shoes with stockings and pure brocade on his feet were all new, and the workmanship and fabrics were all particularly exquisite. At this time, not only was the buttons on his chest completely unbuttoned, but the clothes on his lower body were also folded unevenly, as if he was still rolling and twisting on the ground when he was dying.

Next to the corpse was a toppled mahogany chair and a carved coffee table. There was also a broken vase, the water was spilled all over the floor, and the marks were still visible. One end of the corpse's head, towards the first window facing the flower garden. One of the windows was still open, but the white curtains drooped heavily. The utensils in the room are all very delicate and luxurious, and they can be seen to be of great value, but the impression given to Jingmo is just vulgar and messy, and it seems that all the balm and flesh and blood of the people are displayed.
