Black Widow became the richest man by farming

Chapter 298 Interrogation (Ninth Update)
The county magistrate sat on the armchair on the left side of the Eight Immortals table in the main hall.

The young young man sat on a round table in the center of the main hall, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it, which seemed to be government documents.

The county magistrate looked at the old woman sitting on the drum stool and said seriously, "Who is in the hall? Tell me your name."

"Master County, don't you know who this old man is?" Mrs. Qin said weepingly, "Master County, you have to decide for me! Husband, son, grandson are gone, and now even my daughter-in-law is gone. How will you live in the future!"

"Woooo..."

"Now there is only the county and the sufferer, please mourn." The county magistrate waited until she was almost crying, and said, "Please answer the county's question seriously."

"My old body is Qu Hanyan! My husband's family name is Qin, and my husband has been dead for many years." Mrs. Qin respectfully reported her name.

"Mrs. Qin, do you know the two deceased?" The magistrate took out a dusty handkerchief from his armband and wiped his nose.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin quickly said, "I am going to ask my servants to bring in some braziers. I am so ignorant, what should I do if I am freezing?"

Mrs. Qin got up and stood by the door and shouted loudly, "Xiangcha, Xiangming, go and bring in a brazier."

"Yes!" The man heard the voice in the Xiangming room, ran out, and soon came in with a brazier, and put it next to the magistrate.

After being blessed by Xiangming, he backed out and returned to the wing room.

"Do the two deceased, Mrs. Qin, know each other?" The county magistrate stuffed the handkerchief into the armhole, raised his eyes slightly and said to Mrs. Qin.

"Yes, one is my daughter-in-law, and the other is my housekeeper, Butler Qu." Mrs. Qin replied solemnly.

"Where were you at the time of the incident?" the magistrate asked, staring at her with dark eyes.

"I have not rested in the Buddhist hall, copying Buddhist scriptures for my husband and son." Mrs. Qin said respectfully, "When I heard the movement and ran over, my daughter-in-law was already hanging on the beam, and Steward Qu was bitten by a vicious dog. , the old body who was being chased by the vicious dog could only hide on the round table and kept waving the crutch in his hand, so as not to be bitten by the vicious dog."

"Your house is brightly lit at night, allowing you to see so clearly." The county magistrate narrowed his eyes and looked at Mrs. Qin and said.

"The old man's husband and son are gone, and the night is bleak. My daughter-in-law and I like to sleep with a light on." Mrs. Qin said sobbing, pulled out the silk handkerchief in the armhole, and pressed the corners of her eyes, "It's like a husband and son It's still normal."

"Mrs. Qin's condolences!" The county magistrate looked at her mourning and comforted her.

"Mrs. Qin, the backyard is full of female relatives. Can Steward Qu come in and out of the backyard at will this evening?" the county magistrate looked at her and asked.

Mrs. Qin was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at the county magistrate with 12 points of energy and said, "Because there is a big yellow dog guarding the house, the gate from the front yard to the back yard has never been locked. Steward Qu has followed him since he got married. How many years have I been, and I am honest and responsible, and the old man also wonders why he appeared in the daughter-in-law's room and was bitten by a vicious dog." Weeping, "What's going on? I also ask the county magistrate to find out and give the old man a Tell me, there must be no scandal!"

"This county came to ask you, does your big yellow dog bite people on weekdays?" The county magistrate asked Mrs. Qin intently.

"No!" Mrs. Qin shook her head slightly when she heard the words, she put her hands on her knees and tightly pinched her skirt, "Because this dog is big, it is tied up during the day and released at night. It is a good dog on weekdays. very."

"Who fed it." The county magistrate asked again.

"We all like it. We feed it on weekdays. Our old daughter-in-law loves it the most. In summer, we bathe it, feed it bones and meat, and even put it on the kang." Mrs. Qin said with nostalgia, "The days of being a widow are hard, there must be something to sustenance! I don't like dogs very much, but my daughter-in-law likes them, so I keep them."

"What is the relationship between Qu Yanfu and you?" The county magistrate suddenly asked, looking at Mrs. Qin without blinking.

"Butler Qu has been with the old man for many years. He is a servant, but he is like a family member." Mrs. Qin said carefully.

"What is the relationship between Naqu Yanfu and your daughter-in-law?" the county magistrate asked, looking directly at her.

"Relationship?" Mrs. Qin turned her eyes and said, "There is a difference between men and women. The old daughter-in-law respects Butler Qu very much. Butler Qu also respects the old daughter-in-law."

The magistrate nodded thoughtfully and said, "What kind of person is the deceased Liu Xiuying?"

"This child is as miserable as the old man. Not long after we married, my short-lived son left. He is a widow just like the old man." Mrs. Qin kept sobbing, "Fortunately, there is a son by my side. Our family We lived happily ever after, but three years ago my lovely little grandson went to play by the river, and was washed away by the flood, and the body was never found. Our mother and I were crying heartbroken... Only our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are left to depend on each other.”

"The county's questioning is over, you go back to the house and rest first!" The county magistrate looked at her emotionally and had no choice but to comfort her.

Mrs. Qin stood up tremblingly on crutches, blessed her body, and stepped back, carefully thinking about whether she had made a mistake in her words along the way.

The county magistrate recruited the maids to inquire one by one, and the details were right with Mrs. Qin.

Ye Sanniang was brought to the main room. The magistrate squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the gorgeous and outstanding Ye Sanniang with a flash of surprise in his eyes and said, "Who is under the hall? Tell me your name."

"The housewife Ye Sanniang pays her respects to your lord." Ye Sanniang blessed her body and said.

"Excuse me, sit down!" The county magistrate pointed to the drum stool in the middle of the main room, looked at Ye Sanniang who was sitting down, and said, "Listen to Mrs. Qin and the others, you are the one who advocated reporting to the officials."

"Yes! If someone is killed, there must be a government review." Ye Sanniang said, looking at the county magistrate with her quiet eyes.

Ye Sanniang sized up the county magistrate in front of her without any trace, he didn't look like the magistrate, his skin was rough and dark, his face was full of wind and frost, he didn't look like a literati at all.

The county is poor enough, the county magistrate's official uniform, the yamen's face, are still patched!The patches on the chest are not embroidered, but painted.

"Why are you here?" the magistrate looked at her curiously and asked.

"We and our family were blocked by the strong wind yesterday, which delayed our time. We couldn't make it to the county town due to the curfew, so we had to stay in the village for one night." Ye Sanniang looked at him calmly and said, "Go to Luoli first. There is no suitable room in Lizheng's house, so he introduced us to Widow Qin's house."

"When did you come here? What did you do?" The county magistrate continued to ask after hearing the words.

"It was late in the evening when we came, we ate simple sweet noodle soup and steamed buns, and then we rested, and we were woken up by the wind blowing at night." Ye Sanniang said unhurriedly.
