Chapter 777: Shock
The next day, Hanalang was woken up by a burst of suona sound.
After he woke up, he washed his face and hurriedly ran out of the coffin, and in Bai Qiye's house, those suona artists were walking along the coffin in the mourning hall and blowing suona, the sound was harsh and ugly, and Mrs. Bai and Bai Yu and some of their own families knelt beside the coffin and cried fiercely.
Hua Lang knew that they were going to bury Bai Qiye's body so that they could be buried in the ground.
Hua Lang raised his eyes and looked at the sky, it was only too late at this time, and he didn't know if Bao Zheng and they would be able to catch up.
After blowing the suona next to the coffin, they lined up in two rows, and then walked out of the door while blowing, while the villagers who had been standing aside tied the coffin and carried it on their shoulders, looking like they were going to put the coffin into the ground.
Seeing this, Hua Lang's heart suddenly became anxious, if Bao Zheng and them couldn't come, how could he stop them?
didn't have time to think about it, Hua Lang had to follow these people temporarily, and Liuwen Meng and they were waiting for Bao Zheng and Yin to be right here, if Bao Zheng and them couldn't catch up, he Hua Lang would be cheating, and he would have to delay for some time.
The tomb had already been dug up, and it was not very far from Bai Qiye's home, Hua Lang followed behind everyone, and he wanted to rush up to stop them in a hurry, but he knew very well that he had better not do it until he had to do it, the villagers here were the most taboo about this kind of thing, and they didn't know much about the emperor's token, so they probably couldn't understand Hua Lang's intentions, and at that time, it aroused the anger of these people, and it would be bad.
It took about half a pillar of incense to carry the coffin to the cemetery, the cemetery is one by one, and in the center of the cemetery, there is a pit that has been dug out, the villagers put the coffin down, ready to let the person who blows the suona blow the last time, this will put the coffin into the ground, Hua Lang stomped his feet anxiously on the side, thinking about what excuse to stop them later.
And just when Hua Lang was a little anxious, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Hua Lang looked for prestige, only to see Bao Zheng and Yin Wuxian they were riding fast horses and running here, seeing Bao Zheng and them coming, Hua Lang's heart suddenly felt more relaxed, otherwise he would have to find a way to prevent the coffin from being buried.
If the coffin is buried and the soil is sealed, it may be even more difficult to open the coffin for an autopsy.
Bao Zheng and others arrived in time, and their arrival made the villagers here very surprised, standing there speechless for a while, but Bao Zheng didn't care whether they could speak or not, he and everyone turned over and dismounted, and immediately ordered someone to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy.
At this time, Mrs. Bai and Bai Yu hurriedly came to ask what was going on, Bao Zheng took a cold look and said, "Lord Ben suspects that Bai Qiye was murdered, so he has to examine the body." ”
As soon as she heard Bao Zheng's words, Mrs. Bai's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help but strengthen her tone a little, and asked, "How is this possible, where did you hear it?" ”
Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and was about to answer, when Hua Lang stepped forward and said, "It's me, madam!" ”
"Dude?" Madame Bai was startled, but soon she understood what was going on.
At this time, the servants and servants brought by Bao Zheng had already carried the corpse out, and Bai Yu saw that the servants had really carried the corpse out, and suddenly cried and pounced, as if to prevent the corpse from being examined.
It's just that as soon as he pounced, the two officials pulled him away, and the servant took this opportunity to hurriedly conduct an autopsy, and after a while, he got up and came to Bao Zheng, and arched his hand and said: "Master Bao, it has been verified that the deceased was strangled to death, and after being strangled to death, he was hit in the head again, which can be proved by the lack of bruises on the head." ”
Everything was the same as Hua Lang speculated, Bao Zheng bowed slightly, then looked at Madam Bai and snorted coldly, and said: "You obstruct Lord Ben from investigating the murder case, it is extremely suspicious, come here, keep them on guard temporarily, and then ask Lord Ben." ”
After receiving the order, the official showed Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai, and at this time, Bao Zheng asked, "Who found the body first?" ”
After Bao Zheng asked, a middle-aged man in his forties walked over, this person was short and hunchbacked, giving people a very old feeling, and now this person stood up, presumably he was Bai Yi who found Bai Qiye's body.
Bai Yi stepped forward and kowtowed to Bao Zheng, and then told him how he found the corpse, Hua Lang had learned from those guardians last night, and there were not many discrepancies in them, but when Bai Yi said these words, he was more eager and concerned, and it made people think that he was an obedient dog beside Bai Qiye.
After listening to Bai Yi's words, Bao Zheng asked Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai to be brought, and after the two of them came, Bao Zheng asked, "When you found Bai Qiye's body, you didn't have any suspicions?" How could your father have committed suicide by jumping into a well at such a young age? ”
Bai Yu was crying at this time, although Mrs. Bai looked calm, but she didn't dare to answer easily, after being silent for a while, Mrs. Bai said: "We are all mountain village husbands, there will be so many thoughts, we are not pretentious, we will conduct an autopsy, we found my father's body in the well, naturally we thought that he committed suicide or stumbled, is it possible that adults suspect that we will kill our father?" ”
Bao Zheng snorted coldly and said: "This can be said, Master Ben has handled countless cases, and it is not unheard of who killed his biological father and son, let me ask you, your relationship with Bai Qiye has always been good?" ”
Madame Bai looked sad and nodded again and again: "Naturally, it is good, everyone in the village can testify for us, our husband and wife are extremely filial to our father, and my father-in-law is also extremely fond of me and Xianggong, which everyone in the village can testify to for us." Madame Bai said twice in a row that the villagers could testify for them, which couldn't help but make the villagers feel a little panicked, they didn't want to have anything to do with the murder.
And after listening to Mrs. Bai's words, Hua Lang suddenly asked: "But I heard that because you and Bai Yu can't have a son, Bai Qiye is going to continue the string and marry Niu Niu, the daughter of the second Niu in the village. ”
Hua Lang's words couldn't be clearer, if this was the case, Bai Yu and Madam Bai would inevitably kill Bai Qiye to prevent him from continuing, so that the Bai family's money would be all theirs.
It's just that Hua Lang said this, and Mrs. Bai hurriedly retorted: "Nonsense, my father-in-law wants to continue the string, and my father-in-law and I are both extremely in favor of it, and even going to Niu Laoer's house to give a dowry gift is our husband and wife!" ”
