Chapter 727: Death of an Outsider
About half an hour later, Zhang Jinghong and Achu came to a small village, although there were not many people here, but it was prosperous, there were several rich families, and the courtyard was quite exquisite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info A foreigner's house in the center of the village is crying and shouting at this time, and there are many discussions, and it is full of people. Zhang Jinghong was going to hurry by the side of the road and ignore this, but Achu grabbed him and said, "Son, listen, it's a woman wailing helplessly, as if she is very pitiful. ”
Zhang Jinghong condensed his ears, and heard an old woman's voice from the crowd: "Madam, please believe me, I am wronged...... I didn't kill the master, I didn't kill the master......" Her tone was choked and anxious, pleading bitterly, accompanied by the sound of kowtowing to the ground. Listening, you can feel the image of her bursting into tears and bleeding from her forehead.
Another indifferent and sharp female voice shouted: "Sister-in-law Li, you don't want to quibble here, wronged? If you are wronged, then the old man still can't kill himself?" This voice was cold and accompanied by a bewitching charm, which made people feel a little uncomfortable, she was the lady in this mansion, the wife of Li Yuanwai.
Zhang Jinghong's brows furrowed, his heart was tightly pinched by the crying woman, and he no longer hesitated, and walked quickly towards the crowd. I saw a woman with unkempt hair and dirty body, who was being escorted by two tall guards and kneeling on the ground, the woman's tears were like rain, her hair was already soaked, her eyes were swollen, as if she had been drenched in the rain, she was Sister-in-law Li.
In the center of the crowd, a noblewoman dressed brightly dressed and wearing heavy makeup was arrogant and aggressive, pointing fingers at the messy woman. Several guards stood behind her, ready for orders, and in front of her stood a little boy of seven or eight years old, clinging to her, a little timidly. This noble lady is the lady of the house, Jiang Meijie, the wife of the outsider, and this little boy is the son of the outsider.
The crowd of onlookers sighed: "Alas, as soon as the staff dies, the Li family will be left with this orphan and widow, which is also very pitiful." ”
Another short man answered: "No, Li Yuanwai's huge family business has been passed on to this little boy of a few years old, but he has left himself, which is really a sin." In the days to come, this foreign lady will be miserable, and she will be a father and a mother again. ”
A man with a strong shape said disapprovingly: "You underestimate this mother-in-law of a foreign family too much, if you look at her bewitching dress, you can see that she is a slut at a glance, and it is not certain who is who is wrong! If you want to see it, this sister-in-law Li is pitiful, and she is framed as a murderer outside the staff, and if she is caught by the government, she will be killed." ”
An old woman shed tears and said: "Although this sister-in-law Li is not very familiar with the old woman, but she has been in contact with the vegetable market a few times, Sister-in-law Li is sincere and honest, hardworking and virtuous, how can she be the murderer outside the staff?
Everyone, you say a word to me, Zhang Jinghong put it all in his ears, the two guards rudely pulled up Sister-in-law Li, and the tall guard shouted: "Go, kill people to pay for your life, go with me to see the official." ”
Sister-in-law Li struggled, lying on her stomach to grab the hem of Mrs. Jiang Meijie's clothes, she cried and begged: "Madam, please, I am innocent, I did not kill anyone......"
Sister-in-law Li's embarrassed appearance and impulsive behavior frightened the little boy's body and took two steps back. Jiang Meijie hugged her son to the side and drilled into the middle of several guards, while drinking: "Sister-in-law Li, if you move your hands and feet again, I don't want to call the guards if I don't miss the old feelings." ”
Suddenly, the tall guard stretched out his foot and kicked Sister-in-law Li's thin leg, she screamed in surprise, and her body fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Jinghong suddenly stretched out his hand to help her, but he was still a step too late and only grabbed the edge of her sleeve.
"Achu!" Zhang Jinghong called and squatted down to help Sister-in-law Li. At the same time, the tall guard rudely grabbed Sister-in-law Li's wrist again, shouting: "Go, murderer, go with us to see the official." ”
It was also here that a big palm came out of the air and grabbed the arm of the tall guard, this person was Zhang Jinghong's retinue A Chu. Ah Chu said coldly: "Whether you are a murderer or not, you still have to tell the evidence, you are not pushing or kicking, are you trying to make Sister-in-law Li into a trick?" Ah Chu shook off the tall guard, the guard tilted his body, and rushed towards Jiang Meijie with the short guard.
Jiang Meijie exclaimed in surprise, glared at Zhang Jinghong and the two, and when she saw Zhang Jinghong's handsome face for the first time, there was a trace of surprise in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Who are you, why do you want to meddle with our family's affairs? Are you bullying my lord who has just died, and no one is in charge of my orphans and widow......s?"
Jiang Meijie looked aggrieved, turned to the crowd, and was about to cry, Zhang Jinghong suddenly interrupted her words and said in a hurry: "Folks, this sister-in-law Li looks embarrassed, but she keeps shouting that she is wronged, don't you want to figure things out, how did the master of this family die?"
Someone in the crowd immediately answered: "Think, Li Yuanwai, who has a lot of money, died tragically, but Sister-in-law Li, who usually looks honest, has become a murderer, who is not curious, can you give us the truth?"
Zhang Jinghong smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "I dare not say the truth, at least let the villagers know more about the unjust and tragic death." Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in Jiang Meijie's eyes, and she glanced at Zhang Jinghong and A Chu again, one with an extraordinary bearing and the other with a strong and upright bearing. Jiang Meijie knew that the two of them were by no means ordinary people.
Jiang Meijie cleared her throat and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's say it in our house." Sister-in-law Li, you have been in our family for a few years, and you are not an outsider, except for the murder, you can tell me if you have any other wishes, and I may be able to help you achieve it. ”
Zhang Jinghong snorted coldly and said, "Madame, is this a weak heart?" Thinking about it, Sister-in-law Li's greatest wish is to wash away her grievances and clear her innocence, can Madame fulfill her?"
Sister-in-law Li turned to the crowd, turned to Zhang Jinghong, and then turned to Jiang Meijie, and begged on the ground: "Folks, I didn't kill the master; ”
Sister-in-law Li burst into tears, the blood on her forehead dripped to the ground, looking at Chu Chu's moving, the crowd instantly burst into sympathy: "Also, how can such a big matter as human life be hastily handled, even if this son doesn't find out, the government should be asked to send someone to find out how Li Yuanwai died." ”
Someone shouted in response: "Yes, ask the government to send someone to find out." ”
Looking at the angry and restless villagers, Jiang Meijie's body trembled faintly, she glared at Sister-in-law Li viciously, looked at Zhang Jinghong complainingly, and looked at Achu who was holding a big knife timidly, her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
