Chapter 498 The villain is the deity ([-])
"My lord, it was this slut and an adulterer who killed my son, my lord must decide for the old woman!"

"Damn! What a lover, don't spit blood! It's your son who owed a large amount of gambling debt outside and was beaten to death by the creditor. How can you blame me!"

"I saw it that day! A man came out of your house and said he wasn't your lover!"

"Old man, you're blind! That's my natal brother, why is he a lover!"

On the first day Li Jinyuan came to Yangzhou, he encountered such a tricky murder case. For a while, many people were waiting to see the joke.

There was endless debate in the classroom, and Li Jinyuan did not interrupt their quarrel, leaning on the back of the chair to observe carefully.

The woman was wearing a patched green linen dress, and her hair was in a mess. She had just torn it off with the old woman and messed it up. Apart from anger, there was also disdain and dissatisfaction in her expression. Listening to her words, she didn't have much affection for this husband. Even resentful.

The old woman's dress is much better than that of a woman, at least there are no patches. She looks sad, tears streaming down her face, and mourns for her son who passed away. I have been suspicious for a long time.

"Come here, go and bring Liu's natal brother over here, and let the old lady see if it is this person."

"Yes!"

No one would tell such a lie that can be exposed at once. That person is really Liu's younger brother, the younger brother of the same mother. The old woman suddenly felt guilty, but she still yelled, "Impossible, That lover must be someone else!"

Li Jinyuan frowned and slapped the gavel, "Silence!"

After everyone quieted down, Li Jinyuan asked the doubts in his heart, "Mr. Wu, you keep saying that your daughter-in-law Mrs. Liu and her sympathizer killed your son, so what evidence do you have?"

The old woman opened her mouth and began to cry again. Obviously, all of this was her guess and there was no evidence.

Liu rolled her eyes, "My lord, don't be fooled by this old thing. From the day I got married, she felt that there were people outside of me who didn't do any work all day long. They just stared at me. I don't know how to separate myself." technique, so that you can steal men outside..."

There is dissatisfaction in Liu's words, but it is not necessarily dissatisfaction with not being able to steal people. No one wants someone to stare at them all day long, and it is normal for Liu to be dissatisfied with this.

"Since this is the case, I won't say much," Li Jinyuan raised his hand, "The case is still unclear, so let's lock them up first."

"My lord, this..." The master was a little hesitant, he had never heard of the Guanren imprisoning the plaintiff together, "We should take this Mrs. Liu into custody, why should Mrs. Wu..."

Li Jinyuan glanced at him, "You are the magistrate and I am the magistrate?"

"Of course it's you, sir."

"Then I said lock them up, what's your opinion?"

"No, no..."

So both of them were locked up, and Li Jinyuan changed his clothes and came to their home.

Wu Zuo has examined the corpse. The deceased was beaten to death with a blunt instrument from behind. Judging from the wounds, one blow was fatal. The murderer was most likely a man. After asking the neighbors nearby, there were mixed reviews of Ms. Liu. Some said she had She was unforgiving, some said she was shrewd, but most of them said she was warm-hearted. As for her mother-in-law Mrs. Wu, everyone had expressions that were hard to explain. Everyone said that Mrs. Wu was difficult to take care of. To put it bluntly, she was hypocritical. , Zuo, she was not satisfied with anything Mrs. Liu did, and always said that she did not follow the rules of women.

"Although a married person shouldn't interact with family members all the time, he is his biological brother. Mrs. Liu also had a tragic life experience. Her parents died early, and her eldest sister is like her mother. It was she who raised this younger brother, so she should pay more attention to her. of……"

"Wait a minute," Li Jinyuan interrupted the neighbor's complaint, "did you know that man is Liu's brother?"

"I know, everyone here knows it!"

"Does Mrs. Wu know?"

"I know, of course I know!"

This is strange, since she knew that he was Liu's younger brother, why did she keep saying that he was her adulterer?
When I got back to the mansion, the first thing I did was to call Mrs. Liu's younger brother over, "Does Mrs. Wu know that you are Mrs. Liu's real younger brother?"

"This... should be known..."

"What should it be!"

"I know! I met my brother-in-law when his family came to offer employment!"

That's right, since you want to get married, you should know who is in the other party's family, "Then why did Mrs. Wu mistake you for her lover?"

"I don't know, my lord, the old lady usually dislikes my sister, maybe it's because of her..."

"..." Labeling someone as a murderer is really "targeting". Li Jinyuan simply locked up Xiao Liu, anyway, it doesn't matter how many prisons there are in the government office.

However, after many investigations and a carpet-like search of Mrs. Liu's room, it was discovered that something was wrong. Mrs. Liu might really have a lover. After being punished twenty times, Xiao Liu chose to betray her sister.

"My lord! My lord, I say! I say!"

Li Jinyuan nodded and motioned to the Yamen servant to stop, "Bring it here."

"It's Sun Xiucai from East Street...the two got married before my sister got married, but Sun Xiucai's family was poor and couldn't afford to marry a wife. Later, when the Zhao family came to propose marriage, my sister was not young anymore. I agreed, but after they got married, she and Sun Xiucai were still inseparable. Every time they met privately, my sister asked me to cover them. Sun Xiucai was about the same size as me. If someone found out, she would say that it was me. ..."

So Mrs. Wu probably discovered something, but there was no evidence to prove it. With Xiao Liu as a cover, no one believed it.

The murderer was Sun Xiucai, Liu was an accomplice, Xiao Liu was an accomplice, and Mrs. Wu was released home. The matter itself ended here, but the key was Sun Xiucai. As I said, there is no money to marry a wife, but the yamen servant found a bag of broken silver in his home, roughly estimated to be nearly 20 taels.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu is still wearing patched clothes, I know that the Zhao family is also poor, so it is impossible for Mrs. Liu to give him the money, so Li Jinyuan found the cloth shop from the cloth containing the silver burden, and then "surprised" to check There is a person - Zhu Hong.

Li Jinyuan brought people to Zhu's house, and Zhu Hong was about to take his wife, Lu Yanran, one of the harem, to Daming Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. Miss, but it's a pity, not to mention that he can't leave today, even if he is really allowed to go to Daming Temple, there is no young lady waiting for him there, after all, the magistrate has changed, right?
