Zhou Yan

"Tsk!"

Shen Xian looked at him and didn't speak, with a half-smile, Liang Yongrui seemed to feel a little disgusted, he judged the situation and estimated Shen Xian's thoughts.

"Miss Lin is fine, did we blame her?"

Shen Xian didn't speak. Zhou Mingchao was always reluctant to talk to Liang Yongrui. Li Wei pulled the sleeve of the county magistrate and whispered, "Lord Liang, you should stop talking."

"It's all here, who do you think is the murderer?"

Li Wei and Liang Yongrui were as quiet as chickens.

"That," Liang Yongrui cleared his throat: "There are still many doubts and unclear points in this case. We have to investigate these incidents again..."

"This case still needs to be investigated?" The boy raised his eyebrows, sneered, and glanced at Zhou Mingchao: "Brother Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Mingchao was much safer than him, and he told the yamen servant: "Bring Tao Qian."

Li Wei watched the yamen servant go away in doubt, his expression was exactly the same as that of Liang Yongrui: "Tao Qian...is he the murderer?"

"Of course he's not the murderer." Shen Xian glanced at Li Wei: "Tao Qian should be yelling and drinking when he goes out. For a person like him, even if he wants to kill someone, he should drag them away and find a place where there are few people. Just bury it, and don’t leave people there.”

What's more, the road is very narrow, and if there are too many people, it is impossible to get in. There is no trace of fighting in it. Li Yong has a wound on his body, and there is only a small and deep wound on his heart. Tao Qian's people should know how to use sticks. Hit, it won't leave such a wound.

Moreover, there is a more important one, Shen Xian paused for a moment, but did not say anything.

"However, if there is a reason for the incident, it is not impossible for Tao Qian to hurt someone."

"Mr. Li," Shen Xian felt helpless: "Tao Qian came to your wedding banquet with Miss Liu that day. I still remember that I saw him at the banquet. Don't you even know who you invited to get married? ?”

"That, that," Li Wei's face suddenly turned pale: "The wedding invitation is that my father and my mother discussed it, and I, I didn't participate."

"Yes, yes," Shen Xian nodded: "It's a wedding night in the bridal chamber, you should not remember these things."

Zhou Mingchao raised his eyes suddenly, and patted Shen Xian lightly on the head: "You're talking nonsense again."

Children from every family know what bridal chamber wedding night is.

"Then asked Tao Qian to come here, why?" Li Wei shook his steamy head, determined to change the topic to bring this matter to an end.

"Brother Zhou and I both heard you were not there." After being taught a lesson by Zhou Mingchao, Shen Xian covered his head and became more honest: "At that time Miss Lin and we left the county office shortly after, she ran into Tao Qian. "

"Tao Qian said that Miss Lin missed him a dress embroidered with gold thread. Brother Zhou, do you remember?"

Zhou Mingchao nodded: "En."

"Then when we went to Li Yong's residence, the neighbors around him said that on the evening of the accident, he went out with a very well-dressed tall and thin man, and then they never saw him back."

"He is a butcher, how could he know a rich man?" Li Wei followed Shen Xian's words and thought deeply: "Besides, he was going out in the evening, maybe that man was the murderer who killed Li Yong."

"But what that man looks like, I haven't seen him before, so I can't find out!"

Finally gaining some brains, Shen Xian glanced at Li Wei with a look of relief that his child has grown up.

"Li Yong went out with a man in good clothes. Tao Qian also said that Miss Lin secretly hid one of his clothes. Then when Li Yong had an accident that night, Lin Ruanruan was the only one present besides me. At that time, which girl's family is free to walk in the alley in the dead of night, who do you think is the most suspected?"

Li Wei stood where he was, as if enlightened!

"Go and catch Lin Ruanruan!" Liang Yongrui immediately shouted outside: "Right away! Immediately!"

Shen Xian trembled again, he rolled his eyes, and raised his voice: "Lord Liang! Be safe and don't be impatient! Don't startle the snake! Do you understand!"

"Ah! That," Liang Yongrui's domineering hands were still frozen in mid-air: "Don't you need to grab her?"

"Don't worry," Shen Xian touched his cuff, where there was a white jade hairpin wrapped in white cloth: "You can't wrong him."

Holding the county magistrate's sign to arrest people, Tao Qian was quickly brought. Liang Yongrui ordered people to serve a pot of tea, and within a few plates of snacks, Tao Qian was brought here under pressure.

"Lord Liang, I haven't done anything recently." Tao Qian was also very depressed. He was placing a bet in the Zhuangzi, and he opened it immediately: "Why did you arrest me?"

"I have something to ask you." Shen Xian put down the pastry and patted the crumbs on the palm of his hand: "You said you lost a piece of clothes that day, do you remember what it was like?"

"You don't care what kind of clothes I wear, do you want to pay me one!"

Tao Qian was still thinking about his bet. Seeing Shen Xian, this little boy, made him feel angry. It was the same last time. Lin Ruanruan's little hand was about to touch it. It was him again, and Tao Qian tried his best to make Shen Xian unhappy.

"Compensation, I will compensate you." Shen Xian took a sip of tea without even looking at Tao Qian: "This person is obstructing official duties, let's beat him up first!"

The people next to him didn't wait for Liang Yongrui's orders, and immediately pushed Tao Qian to the ground, just like they did to Shen Xian back then.

Tao Qian rubbed his face against the ground, and he gritted his teeth: "Why are you!"

"My lord, how many boards are you playing?" The guard raised his stick.

Liang Yongrui glanced at Zhou Mingchao, who was speechless, and said to Shen Xian with a smile: "Mr. Shen, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Li Wei took advantage of drinking tea to watch the theater. This Tao Qian was running rampant in Qiuyang Town. He had long been displeased. Watching the play with a teacup and pretending not to care, he looks indecent.

"I don't really understand the rules of your government either." Shen Xian propped his chin and thought for a while, then flipped the lid of the teacup casually: "Let's hit a hundred boards first, and see if he's still stubborn. We'll talk after the fight."

Before the board hit his ass, Tao Qian still wanted to speak hard: "I don't accept it, you are a trick of torture, uh..."

Then his butt hurt more and more, and when the second plank fell, Tao Qian felt that his butt was about to lose its hold, and the left and right sides split apart, and it hurt like four petals.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Mr. Liang, tell them not to fight, I remember that dress, what kind of clothes I remember."

Don't say what kind of clothes that are, even if you give Tao Qian a piece of cloth now, he can make exactly the same one.

"Brother Zhou, what did he say?" Shen Xian drank tea leisurely.

"I didn't hear clearly." Zhou Mingchao sat next to Shen Xian, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the mottled tree shadows, and he looked like a person walking down from a painting.

"I didn't hear clearly either." Shen Xian smiled, why is Brother Zhou so bad.

After such a long period of time, Tao Qian still endured more than a dozen big boards. When he finally stopped, his legs shook like a sieve, and he lay on the ground, unable to move except his upper body.

"What kind of clothes is that, do you still recognize it when it is in front of your eyes?" Shen Xian closed the cup, playing in Qiuyang Town was too tiring and not very fun, he wanted to go back to Linzhou City.

"I recognize it, I recognize it!" Tao Qian was framed up, his anger was like a thread.

"Are you sure Lin Ruanruan hid your clothes? Didn't you just make up this excuse to have a few words with others?"

"I don't have one," Tao Qian immediately yelled, "That dress was for my old man's birthday. I went to Wuchang Garment Store to order it. I don't usually wear it. I sent it to Lin Ruanruan for her to wash. In the end, the dress disappeared when I got it back. At that time, I wanted to ask her for this dress, but Mr. Liang..."

Tao Qian paused for a moment, then glanced at Liang Yongrui's face quietly, not daring to speak out.

"Is that so!" Shen Xian turned to Zhou Mingchao, "Brother Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Mingchao looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Bring Lin Ruanruan here."

"Keep your voice down!" Shen Xian told the yamen servant who had just left the house: "The girl has a thin skin, don't scare her."

---

The creaking door of the yard was pushed open, and Lin Ruanruan took a small bench and sat under the eaves, with her hands on her knees and her chin propped up in a daze.

At this time, a cold wind suddenly blew from outside, and Lin Ruanruan's exposed skin was covered with goosebumps, and it was not much warmer in the yard than outside.

But Lin Ruanruan didn't mind, the original owner thought the yard was dilapidated, and seeing how pitiful she was, so he let her live in it at a low price.

Lin Ruanruan looked around, there was not a single weed in this small courtyard, which is strange to say, the courtyard is so clean and tidy, but to her, it is dilapidated and shabby.

There were still two pots of clothes in the yard that were brought in a few days ago, and she hadn't washed them yet. After noon, the chimneys of the houses outside were emitting smoke, and there was the sound of a woman calling for her children to go home for dinner. Lin Ruanruan didn't move. She doesn't want to cook yet.

It seems to be like this all the time, after that night, she became more and more lazy, didn't want to eat, didn't want to sleep, just lingering on her last breath,

The sun outside was so bright, she was sitting under the eaves, her face was so pale and pale, her fingertips had been soaked in water all year round and had frostbite, she stretched out her fat fingers, trying to touch the sun, but it was so close, she couldn't Without the strength, she leaned out to touch her favorite sunshine before.

Lin Ruanruan suddenly felt an indescribable soreness in her heart, which made her eyes turn red and she was about to shed tears.

Sitting in the shadow of such a day, Lin Ruanruan sighed lightly, when will it end.

Lin Ruanruan felt cold and wet, but she sat on the small stool and slowly dozed off. Just when she was about to fall asleep, the door was pushed open, which was different from the polite ones in the past. Attitude, the people from the county government took the rope and walked into the door roughly.

Lin Ruanruan was not afraid, and was even a little relieved when she saw those people walking in. She stood up, followed behind them obediently, and walked into the sun.

That's great, Lin Ruanruan looked at the sunshine in her hand, smiled in relief for the first time, Li Yong, I'm here to find you.

The author has something to say:

What should I do? I feel sorry for my little Lin.
