Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 854 Clues (1)
"Come in quickly, it's really rude for the servants in our house."

Mrs. Shen quickly took Qingli's hand, invited her to the door, and explained with an apologetic expression, "Qingli, it's too far to call Madam, you took such good care of Xiaoyu in the capital, if you don't mind calling me auntie. "

Qingli was surrounded by the maidservants and entered the main hall. The interior of Shen's mansion was luxurious, and the building had its own style. It was cold winter, and the garden was bleak. Qingli saw the small pond, and the outside had been fenced off.

The room is warm, and there are maids serving tea, Qingli took a sip of tea, and said suspiciously, "Auntie, Miss Xiao Yu is like a sister to me, and she is not an outsider. Although the people in the house are rude, there seems to be a reason for that." ?”

When Qingli asked such a question, Mrs. Shen's eye circles turned red. She tapped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. It took a long time to stabilize her emotions, and she held Qingli's hand tightly, "Your Uncle Shen is not at the house, but at the magistrate's house." In the prison."

"how come?"

Qingli put down the teacup with a "snap", with a surprised expression on her face. She was a little angry when she was neglected outside the door just now, but now that she heard that Sister Xiaoyu's father was in jail, all she was left with was shock and couldn't wait to know what happened.

"We wrote a family letter to Xiao Yu, but the journey is long and high, and we don't know if it will be too late."

Mrs. Shen wiped her tears, and then explained the whole story.

The Shen family started out with cloth, and there are quite a lot of warehouses in the family, which contain a large amount of inventory.Master Shen is a kind man, and he never takes advantage of others in business. Even for ordinary people who buy fabrics by the foot, he will ask his staff to set aside some of them.

Some time ago, the shop received a big deal.In Fengyang, there is a flower street, Liu Lane, in which there is Wanhualou, the largest brothel, and there is also a branch in Xiaofeng County. Qingli remembers that Ruyu seemed to be the top brand of Wanhualou in the past.

The accident has a lot to do with Wanhualou.When Mr. Shen received the business, the other party's procuress insisted on letting the boss who can make the decision to negotiate. She wanted to buy some fabrics for the girls in the building, and each of them would make dozens of ready-made clothes. The sale of two silver coins.

Master Shen came back to discuss with Mrs. Shen. As a man, he was not afraid to go to Hualou to discuss business, and he didn't care about it.At that time, I agreed to let the waiter and shopkeeper cut out the good fabrics and all kinds of fabrics with inconsistent colors and patterns, and make a mark to facilitate the selection of the old bustard in Hualou.

In the evening just three days ago, Mr. Shen went to Wanhualou to discuss business as scheduled. The madam of Wanhualou was also a straightforward person. Although the two cooperated for the first time, they both took a step back from each other and quickly closed the deal.

Master Shen drank some wine and wanted to go to the hut to have a rest, so he took the waiter and left. When the lights were on, it was the time when the girl from Wanhualou was picking up the guests. He asked the waiter to wait in front of the carriage in the backyard, and went into the hut by himself.

The bad thing was going to the latrine. At that time, Mr. Shen was drinking too much and leaned on the wall to solve it. When he came out, he was covered in blood. The girl who welcomed the guests in the flower building saw him and screamed again and again. Someone went into the latrine and found out that there dead people.

A homicide happened in the latrine of Wanhualou, and it was a big mess. After receiving the report, the government quickly came to do the autopsy. Not long after the person died, the murder weapon was found on the ground. It was a long dagger. In the back of the deceased, the girl from Hualou testified that only Mr. Shen entered the latrine alone, and no one else was there.

The deceased's backstage was very hard, and Qingli knew him indirectly. It was the brother of the third aunt of the Zhifu. He heard that his business was prosperous and he had a lot of money. She died suddenly, and the third aunt refused to let her go, threatening to make Master Shen pay for her life!

"Does this deceased person know Uncle Shen? There is no grievance or enmity..."

Qingli knows that even if Ji Zhifu is not a fool, he is soft-hearted. San Yiniang will do what she says, and San Yiniang will vomit blood with anger if she loses her support. She will definitely not let the Shen family go. Yes, witnesses and physical evidence can be forged, it all depends on the conscience of parents and officials.

"Well, this person used to do business in Pingyang, and because he hooked up with Ji Zhifu, he came up with the idea of ​​opening a cloth shop in Fengyang."

Mrs. Shen wiped her tears aggrievedly, what a disaster, who would have thought that that person would die, she wiped her eyes red and swollen, and continued, "Because I have the magistrate as my backer, I have been running rampant. He came to our Shenjiabuzhuang, and wanted to buy it for a few hundred taels, and warned us not to sell it, just wait and see."

Shenjiabuzhuang has a very large frontage. It is in a prime location in Fengyang. The shop alone is worth at least a few thousand taels, and there is still inventory. People really dare to say that they are not afraid of the wind flashing their tongues when they talk casually.

"So, your Uncle Shen didn't agree, and you once had a quarrel with him. Many people, including the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, saw it in Buzhuang."

Qingli rubbed her forehead, thinking in her mind, the facts were not clear, and there were still many details. Uncle Shen asked the clerk to wait in the carriage first, and he went to the latrine. , how long is it?
Was the corpse killed by a single stabbing, or was it a struggle?It's really hard to say if they were killed by a knife, because most people would relax their vigilance when going to the toilet. There are many drunks in the flower building, and they walk shakyly, and they don't stare at others when they go to the toilet.

The murderer may know the deceased, but the deceased was unsuspecting, or he may be instigated by someone who does not know the deceased.

In any case, there are still too many situations that need to be clarified. She must take care of this matter, and she will take care of it!

While wiping her tears, Mrs. Shen gave a general account of what happened. She was not at the scene of the crime, and she heard it from the clerk. She only had a vague idea, and she didn't know the details.

The Shen family is rooted in Fengyang and has three generations of ancestors, Mr. Shen is kind and kind.Although everyone in the business field is a competitor, Mr. Shen studied in his early years and passed the scholar examination. He is very disdainful of the behavior of suppressing his peers by despicable means. In other words, whether in the same industry or among the people in the surrounding area, the word of mouth is good, and he rarely has dirty things with others.

The case three days ago shocked Fengyang City. The people couldn't believe that Master Shen, who has always been honest and kind, would kill someone. You deserve it.

It seems that someone deliberately led the direction of public opinion. In the past few days, all kinds of rumors have been flying all over the sky. The poor people fully understand the helplessness of Master Shen, and scold the third aunt every day. It was even more confirmed that Master Shen was the murderer.

"Your Uncle Shen was wronged. The decision to go to the brothel to discuss business was made in the afternoon. Your Uncle Shen didn't know that bully would appear in Wanhualou."
