Leaving the stall where the iron mouth was broken, Jiang Jun asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" Is the murderer the one surnamed Liu? ”

Duan Fei pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, if it's Liu Xiong, what about his son?" There must be something here that we hadn't thought of, but finding Liu Xiong can still be the first priority. ”

A servant came from afar, and the news reached Duan Fei's ears after several turnovers: "My lord, Ding Jiayi from Dingjia Village has already spread to the yamen." ”

Duan Fei said: "She's still alive? It seems that the murderer is really not You Yi, so I'll go back and see her. ”

Back at the Yamen, Duan Fei saw Tan Bin and a gray-haired old woman in the flower hall, although she was seventy years old, she was still in good spirits.

Tan Bin introduced the two of them, the old woman is really Ding Jiayi, she is old, and she can be exempted from etiquette according to the rules, but she still saluted Duan Fei and said: "The folk woman sees Lord Duan, I don't know why Lord Duan summoned the folk woman overnight?" ”

From Tan Bin's introduction, Duan Fei knew that Ding Jiayi was married to a neighboring village's family surnamed Li, and the yacha finally found her, Duan Fei asked: "Li Men Ding, I don't know if you know a person named You Hong?" ”

Ding Jiayi was stunned, and the ancient meeting suddenly came to her heart, as if it had just happened yesterday, she suddenly became excited, and replied: "Why don't you recognize, that scoundrel, he hurt me." ”

Ding Jiayi cried and told how You Hong deceived her back then, and then she followed You Hong for a while, and finally gave up because she was not used to that kind of life, and after returning home, because it was no longer complete, she had to find a cripple to marry.

Duan Fei asked quietly, "You Shi, do you remember when you testified for You Hong?" ”

Ding Jiayi wiped her tears and said, "Remember, my lord, many years have passed since that incident, why did my lord suddenly bring it up again?" ”

Duan Fei said: "At that time, You Hong was suspected of killing someone, and it was you who testified on his behalf to exonerate him. ”

Ding Jiayi hesitated for a while, and under Tan Bin's persuasion, she finally replied: "If you go back to your lordship, it is true that the person was not killed by You Hong, but at that time, You Hong and I were like husband and wife, and Da Ming's wife did not witness her husband, so we made a false confession, in fact, we did not meet by chance that night, but have already lived together." ”

Duan Fei said: "You mean to say that You Hong really didn't kill anyone, but you made a false confession, you have to think about it, after so much time, You Hong is dead, and you are so old, there is no need to hide anything for You Hong." ”

"You Hong is dead?" Ding Jiayi was stunned for a moment and then became sad again, she wiped two handfuls of tears, and said: "My lord, since You Hong is dead, I don't need to hide it for him, but You Hong really didn't leave that night, he was angry during the day, and he vented with me at night, he really didn't kill anyone." ”

Duan Fei and Tan Bin exchanged glances, and Duan Fei suddenly asked again, "Then do you recognize You Hong's later wife?" ”

Ding Jiayi shook her head and said: "After I married into the Li family, I abided by women's morals, and rarely went out of the house, You Hong's conscienceless didn't look for me at all, and I only learned today that he was dead." ”

Duan Fei said: "Were you present when You Hong was bullied that day?" ”

Ding Jiayi shook her head and said, "No, the woman was not present at the time, and I learned about it later." ”

Duan Fei said: "Okay, you tell this official everything you know. ”

Ding Jiayi recalled: "That day, You Hong and Liu Sheng were setting up a scene to tease the monkey......"

"Wait." Duan Fei said: "You Hong is not a single gang? What is the relationship between Liu Sheng and him? ”

Ding Jiayi said: "Liu Sheng is You Hong's helper, one of them is responsible for training monkeys, and the other is responsible for performing, this is because Liu Sheng's mouth is not You Hong's ability to speak, and people are also afraid of things......"

"Wait." Duan Fei's index finger drew a small circle in the air, and the fleeting inspiration was finally caught by him, Duan Fei said: "Liu Sheng is in charge of training monkeys, he is more introverted, and people are a little afraid of things?" Is Liu Sheng's figure relatively tall? ”

Ding Jiayi said: "Yes, You Hong often says that he has grown so big in white, how do adults know?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Don't care how I know, did Liu Sheng also get beaten that day?" ”

Ding Jiayi shook his head and said: "No, how can Liu Sheng have the guts, he has already shrunk aside, just for this matter, You Hong broke up with Liu Sheng, You Hong said that Liu Sheng is not a man, has no righteousness, and asked him to be a woman or something in the next life......"

Duan Fei rewarded Ding Jiayi with ten taels of silver, and asked the official to send her home, and when the flower hall was quiet, Duan Fei said: "It seems that Lord Zhou, the county commander who handled the case that day, also ignored him because of Liu Sheng's cowardice, who would have thought that Liu Sheng didn't dare to resist at that time, but later he was stimulated by You Hong's words, and he touched and killed people in the middle of the night, and hung them at the gate of the city......"

"Is it Liu Sheng?" Tan Bin was a little confused, Duan Fei said: "It's not wrong, it must be him, isn't he good at training monkeys?" There is not much difference between training monkeys and dogs, dogs are even more obedient, today we also got a new news, there is a merchant named Liu Xiong is likely to be the current murderer, both surnamed Liu, the age is also right, Liu Xiong is very likely to be Liu Sheng's son, the only thing that makes me strange is that there should be a child in this case, have we always guessed wrong? ”

Tan Bin said: "Whether it's or not, let's catch it first, sir, do you think that You Yi will partner with Liu Xiong?" ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "Unlikely, You Yi's ferocity is better than his father's, if Liu Xiong is with him, either You Yi has been killed or Liu Xiong has become You Yi's entourage, and there is no time to commit crimes, huh...... The two have been in contact with each other, Master Tan, send someone to find an excuse to catch that You Yi back, Hua Ming, have you sent someone to ask, did you have a child who entered the city alone yesterday? ”

Tan Bin hurriedly went, and Hua Ming bowed down and replied, "My lord, the news has come back, but the guards of the four gates all said that they did not see any children who entered the city alone." ”

Duan Fei frowned and said, "Could it be that I really misjudged?" Or did the kid run away somewhere else? ”

Everyone frowned, Hua Ming thought for a while, and said: "My lord, that kid may not necessarily follow others into the city, I think I did this when I was wandering around, as long as I dress cleanly, and follow closely behind a woman or an old man, ordinary people will not care, and ...... If he was hiding under the car or something, it would be difficult to find out, and the child might have already slipped into the city. ”

Duan Fei said: "It's possible, but then Liu Xiong doesn't have a son, what is his identity as a helper?" ”

At this time, Hong Bang suddenly said: "This is not necessarily, when I was doing fast hunting in Jiangnan, I have seen similar things, some scheming old pickpockets usually do not usually be with small pickpockets, maybe the murderer's father and son are the same, didn't the half-day fairy say that Liu Xiong's son has only been lost for a few years?" It is difficult for such a big child to be taken by a kidnapper, I suspect that this is Liu Xiong's trick, he carries the burden to sell, but tells his son to follow from afar, or stay somewhere to beg for food, be a pickpocket or something, will this be the case? ”
