Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

The youngest son of the widow's family was gone, and the eldest sister and uncle from the countryside came over. They didn't tell the old man at all because they were afraid that the old man would be stimulated by the white-haired man sending the black-haired man.

Pang Yu also met the young lady of this family, she must be pretty, after all, there are too many good-looking people around him, and he has long been immune to beauty.

Especially this kind of person who can only be regarded as the upper middle class, at most it is because they are young, which makes them look a little bit pretty.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this little lady is already quite good-looking. I haven't seen a few unmarried boys, and my eyes are straight.

Promise!

Half of Zhao Jue's bodyguards are already married, and some of them are on blind dates. They are basically well-matched. Of course, they need to get along more.

Pang Yu does not agree to the life of blind marriage and dumb marriage. In ancient times, the poorest people in blind marriage were women. Fortunately, the status of women in this dynasty has been steadily improving.

Although it is not as chic as in Tang Dynasty, it is much better in the capital.

Especially like the little ladies of the royal family, all of them are unrestrained, and they are proficient in horseback riding, archery, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Pang Yu sometimes has to admire ancient people, and he is not afraid of getting bald if he has to learn so many things.

He is different, he is a cheater.

Thinking about it makes me feel miserable, studying during the day and studying at night is better than those people.

If it wasn't for those points, he wouldn't be able to say anything so diligently.

Zhao Jue sent out guards to cooperate with Bao Zheng's yamen servants and arresters. Although the guards were powerful, they still had less familiarity with the local area than the yamen servants and arresters.

Otherwise, how can there be a saying that is good, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake.

The yamen servants and the head catchers are all locals, and Bao Zheng is still observing the character of the few people, if it doesn't work, they will definitely need to find again.

I don't know when I will be able to gather that little team.

The eldest daughter of the widow's family was called, but it was actually useful, such as asking about daily interpersonal relationships and the like.

"Don't be afraid, you just need to find clues." Seeing the bewildered expression on the other side's face, Pang Yu said kindly.

"Don't be afraid." The widow put her arms around the daughter, the only daughter she had left.

The widow and her daughter recalled together, compared to her eldest daughter, the widow naturally had more communication with others, but she was usually kind to others and rarely blushed with others.

The eldest daughter is actually similar. She has been embroidering at home and rarely socializes with outsiders.

But she couldn't stand her as a widow with two children. People always climbed the wall of their house to peek. Several times, there were ruffians lying on the wall, and it was the young son who had a bad temper and drove people away.

Speaking of this, both of them couldn't help crying, even the widow's younger brother had a sad face, it could be seen that he still liked this nephew very much.

In fact, it is almost clear when it comes to this situation. In order to protect his mother and eldest sister, the boy naturally showed his claws to deal with outsiders, but he was still too young.

I also underestimated the evil of those people, which can be magnified to such a degree.

Bao Zheng gave out the list of those people mentioned by the widow, and asked people to bring them all back for questioning, even the neighbors nearby were not spared.

It's no wonder that Bao Zheng paid so much attention to it. This was the first major case that happened to him after he came to this place. It can be said that he rarely encountered such a bad case during his life.

There would be such a cruel person who killed the boy and...

At least in Bao Zheng's perception, such a crime is already very bad.

As for the one who was thrown away in the yard, even though he didn't commit any murder, his house was not very clean. The officials found out that this person had been shoddy for a long time, and it was necessary to pay a fine and spend five days in jail.

I'm afraid that the one who threw it into this yard did it on purpose, knowing that this person would not dare to let people go to his house, so he chose this yard.

Soon the suspect was brought back to the yamen. These were the two people finally selected after the guards ruled out the others. First of all, both of them had often wandered around the deceased's house before, and they even had a quarrel with the deceased.

As for their identities, one is a neighborhood ruffian, and the other is a resident near the widow's house, considered a neighbor.

Because the widow's daughter is pretty, she often comes to show her hospitality, but it's a pity that the widow protects the eldest daughter and refuses to let people approach her.

The number of times is too many, and this person is also very dissatisfied with the boy.

It's just that it's a bit of a joke to use the murderous intent like this.

"Parents and officials, I am wronged." The local ruffian first shouted his injustice. This is a serious crime of murder, and he has to pay with his life. He is not out of his mind, so how could he admit it.

"Tell me, why have you been wronged?" Bao Zheng asked immediately.

"I haven't been near the widow's house in the past two days. I really didn't kill her." The hooligan said quickly.

"What evidence do you have to prove that you have never been around?" Bao Zheng couldn't believe what the other party said.

"My good friend can prove it." The hooligan said with bright eyes.

"Good friend?" Bao Zheng frowned and said.

"That's right, that's right, I've been helping out at my friend's house for the past few days, and her man is useless." The hooligan talked endlessly, as if it was something worth showing off. "Don't say I'm a good friend, but her neighbors all saw me going in and out."

"It doesn't prove that you were there at night." The policeman said.

The corners of Pang Yu's mouth almost twitched, who are these people?

Live directly in the house of a married woman?What's even more exaggerated is that he was not beaten out?This is also rather weird.

Naturally, it was impossible for Bao Zheng to just listen to what he said, and immediately send yamen servants and arresters to bring everyone back. At this time, another person happened to be interrogated.

"I'm wronged, I really didn't kill someone, Aunt Hao, I'll tell my parents and officials quickly, I can't be more disciplined than usual." Seeing that the man didn't know what to say, he could only pull the widow to intercede on his behalf.

"I..." How could the widow plead for mercy, it is absolutely impossible for the parents and officials to find the murderer for her son and to contradict Bao Zheng.

"Aunt Hao, please, please speak for me." Seeing the widow's face, the man continued to plead with the honest face.

"Shut up, who beat you, or scolded you?" The policeman couldn't stand it any longer. It's not embarrassing for such a big man to cry and cry!

"Tell me, what were you doing that night." Bao Zheng's face was dark, oh, it was already dark, but now it's even darker.

"I, I'm sleeping at home." The man replied tremblingly.

"Compare the shoe prints." The guard brought the rubbed shoe prints over and said.

"That's right, it's clear by comparing the shoe prints." Everyone nodded in unison.

After comparing the results, it really wasn't his, the man laughed maniacally and said, "I'll just say it's not me!"

The ruffian was rather speechless, "That's what I left earlier...the yellow mud on it was left when I stepped on the mud after it rained five days ago."

"There is another suspect here." At this moment, the yamen servant came in and brought a young man in. This man looked to be in his twenties, and he was considered handsome and dignified.

Pang Yu noticed that the neighbors of the widow's house had a ferocious expression on their faces when they saw this person coming in, but they retracted very quickly. If you didn't look carefully, you basically wouldn't notice it.

As for why he found out, it was because this person felt very disobedient to him.

And it doesn't mean that you must be honest because you are simple and honest, and judging people by their appearance generally will not end well.

No, let him see something.

The person who was brought in was a scholar, and she had appeared at the widow's house before because her youngest son was studying, and it was in this person's private school.

For such a scholar, whether it is a widow or her eldest daughter, they have a higher opinion, and their attitudes are naturally very different.

Basically, they are soft-spoken, a lot more elegant.

Scholars sympathized with this student's experience. That boy is a gifted child. After studying for a few more years, he might be able to take the imperial examination. There is still hope.

But I didn't expect that it was such a pity that he died for no reason.

The neighbor watched the scholar interacting with the widow's eldest daughter, but it wasn't actually an interaction between two people. It was more of a widow crying there, unable to speak at all, and the eldest daughter barely said a few words.

But that's it, in his eyes, that's different.

"He has a problem." Pang Yu alluded to that person, and said to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng has also seen the performance of that person at this moment, there is still something he doesn't understand, the ugly jealousy is almost unable to cover the skin.

With a look, the guard went up and held the man down.

"It's not true!" Bao Zheng yelled angrily, he was already swarthy, and he looked a bit calm and pretentious.

The man was held down and shivered subconsciously. He probably didn't understand how he discovered his problem.

Let alone this person, even the widow's family still looked dumbfounded.

"Father, parents and officials... want, what do you want me to recruit." The honest and honest face was full of grievances.

"Naturally, it's about you murdering to vent your anger!" Bao Zheng would no longer be confused by the appearance, and said directly in an affirmative tone.

"I was wronged..." The man froze and said quickly.

"I should really show you how hideous your face was just now." Bao Zheng said with a sneer. "Bring things up."

The things presented were nothing but the clothes that the yamen servants found from this person's house. The imperial doctor came forward and sprayed some medicine on these clothes, and then wiped them with a cotton cloth. Then there is red.

"The clothes are full of blood, and you still want to deny it?" Bao Zheng said angrily after seeing the color on the cotton cloth.

That's right, the bloody clothes are also very important evidence.
