After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Wang Yugui and Liu Captou were both startled. Out of professional instinct, Capt. Liu rushed forward, grabbed a villager, and asked loudly: "Old man, what's going on? Where is the murder?"

"Zhu, Zhu Wu's family has killed people." The old man was so frightened that he stammered.

Liu Captou frowned: "Old man, tell me more carefully. Who in the Wu family of Zhu killed someone?"

"Zhu, Zhu Wu's wife killed Zhu Wu. I, I was just about to call the village chief." The old man took a breath and calmed down.

After hearing this, Capt. Liu frowned again and took out his badge: "I am the county's captivity officer. Take me to see you!"

"Ah, it turns out he is a gentleman from the yamen. Okay, okay, please follow me." The old man looked at his badges, then at Wang Yugui and the others, and nodded hurriedly.

Although there were no loudspeakers in the ancient village, the speed at which everyone exclaimed spread was amazing.

When Wang Yugui and Liu Captou followed the old man to Zhu Wu's house, the courtyard of Zhu Wu's house was already filled with many people.

Before they even entered Zhu's courtyard, they smelled a whiff of chili pepper from afar, which made Wang Yugui and the others cough.

"The chief catcher from the yamen is here. Everyone, please make way, make way." The old man led Mr. Liu and the others in and shouted loudly as they squeezed in.

When the villagers heard that someone was coming from the Yamen, they hurriedly stepped aside and gave way.

"Oh, why did the people from the yamen come so quickly? The village chief hasn't come yet? Who reported it to the official!"

"I don't know, is it Uncle Zhu? He is leading the arresting master."

"It's so scary. Was Zhu Wu burned to death?"

"Isn't that right? I heard that Mr. Zhu boiled two large pots of chili pepper water."

"Zhu Wu deserves it. Oh, poor Zhu has to be sued for his life."

"Yes, Mrs. Zhu is so pitiful. She never had a good life after marrying Zhu Wu!"

……

Wang Yugui followed Liu Captou and heard some villagers talking while walking inside.

I was wondering: What's going on? Why do the villagers still sympathize with the murderer?

When we walked inside, the smell of chili became even stronger, choking Wang Yugui to tears.

Wang Yugui wiped his eyes and looked inside, only to see a woman who looked to be in her forties sitting in the room with a pale face and an expressionless face.

There was a stout man lying at her feet. The man's face was turned away from the outside. He was soaked from head to toe, and there were still a lot of crushed peppers left on his body.

Captain Liu turned his head over and turned the man over. When Wang Yugui saw that face, he trembled with fright.

Oops, it was beyond recognition and miserable... The man had run out of energy and was dead.

"Master Captor, the dead one is Zhu Wu." Uncle Zhu pointed at the man on the ground and said

Then he pointed to the woman sitting beside him: "She, she is Zhu Wu's wife, Mrs. Zhu!"

"Ms. Zhu, how did your husband Zhu Wu die?" Liu Captou looked at Mr. Zhu and asked loudly.

To everyone's surprise, Ms. Zhu didn't panic at all. She looked up at Capt. Liu and said, "I scalded him to death with boiling chili water!"

Oops, her answer was quite clear and straightforward, and Wang Yugui couldn't help but look at Mr. Zhu carefully.

I saw that she was neatly dressed and her hair seemed to have been specially washed. She was not embarrassed at all and did not look like she had just killed someone.

Could it be that after she killed someone, she calmly changed her clothes, dressed up properly, and sat here waiting for the people from the Yamen to arrest her?

"Why did you burn your husband to death with pepper water?" Liu Captou asked again

Zhu said coldly: "Because he deserves to die, I have wanted to kill him a long time ago!"

Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this: Mr. Zhu admitted so readily that it made people a little suspicious!

"Come on, take down the Zhu family!" Liu Captou asked no more questions.

With a wave of his hand, the two government officials behind him immediately stepped forward and arrested Mr. Zhu.

"Oh, what's going on? Get out of the way, get out of the way! Why are people from the Zhu Wu family getting killed?" An old man hurriedly walked into the house.

Uncle Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and introduced to Liu Captou: "Master Captou, this is our old village chief Zhang Defu."

Then he said to the old man: "Chief Defu, this is the head catcher from the yamen!"

After hearing this, the old village chief looked at Capt. Liu and the others in confusion: "I haven't gone to report to the officials yet? Why did the captor from the yamen come here?"

"Village Chief Defu, hello, I am Mr. Liu from the county government." As Mr. Liu said, he took out his badge and showed it to the old village chief, and then said, "We happened to be handling other cases nearby. We heard that Someone in the village called for murder, so they came over!"

"Oh, that's it, cough, cough, cough..." The old village chief was choked by the smell of chili pepper in the room and coughed.

Capt. Liu hurriedly said: "Village Chief, this house is a murder scene and needs protection. Let's go outside to talk!"

"Hey, ok, ok, oh, why is Zhu Wu's death scene so scary!" The old village chief said as he glanced at Zhu Wu on the ground, and was so frightened that he quickly retreated.

Liu Captou and Wang Yugui also came outside. Liu Captou said to the old village chief: "Village Chief Defu, there has been a murder case in your village. This matter is not trivial."

"This arrester will immediately take the culprit Zhu back to the county office to report to Haizhi County."

"Zhu Wu's house is the scene of a murder. No one is allowed to enter. Please ask the village chief to help control the villagers."

"Hey, okay, okay, this village chief should cooperate with the Yamen in handling the case." The old village chief nodded and agreed.

As he spoke, he waved to the villagers: "Get out, get out, didn't you listen to Mr. Liu?"

"At the scene of the murder, no one else is allowed to enter. You all should retreat outside the yard!"

Don't tell me, the village chief's words really worked in the village. After a while, the villagers all retreated outside the yard.

The village chief called two more young men over and ordered: "You two guard outside the courtyard gate and don't let anyone in!"

The two young men agreed and immediately ran to guard the courtyard gate.

"Liu Captou, look, I'm arranging this, is it okay?" The old village chief looked at Liu Captou and asked

Mr. Liu nodded: "Very good!" and said, "Thank you very much!"

Then he said: "Village Chief Defu, I have to ask you to lend me a carriage. I have to escort the prisoner Zhu back to the county office immediately!"

"The carriage, okay, I'll send someone to find it for you." Village Chief Defu nodded after hearing this.

After a while, a carriage came over, and Capt. Liu said to Wang Yugui: "Painter Xiao Wang, the case of the two thieves must be put aside for today."

"Now there is a life case here. I have to go back and report it to Haizhi County first. You should also come back to the city with me first!"

"Captain Liu, I'd better stay and watch the excitement. I see the villagers are talking a lot."

"I'm going to listen. I'm waiting here for you and Master Hai to come over," Wang Yugui said hurriedly.

Liu Captou understood and smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll go back first!"

After saying that, he left two government officials to guard Zhu Wu's body, and escorted Zhu himself, and immediately rushed back to the county government office.
