Chapter 194 The Death of Shi Gang (2)

The county magistrate nodded and ordered them to be taken to the lobby together.

In the hall of the county government office, two old people were crying loudly at the dead bodies on the ground. When they saw Ning Xiaoqi coming in with Mrs. Ma, they quickly stood up and said angrily, "It's them, the county magistrate, it's them who killed you!" My son, woo woo."

Ning Xiaoqi frowned, it seemed that these two were Shi Gang's parents, which made Ning Xiaoqi a little surprised, she thought that because of Shi Gang's virtue, there should be no one in the family.

Otherwise, how could Shi Gang be allowed to adjust the breath of good women everywhere.

Ning Xiaoqi held Ma Shi silently, and knelt down obediently.

The county magistrate coughed, and said loudly with a serious face, "What happened at that time, you tell the truth, if there is half a lie, don't blame me for being rude!"

The couple shook their bodies and nodded quickly. The woman looked at Shi Gang's swollen body, and cried, "Master County Magistrate, what happened two days ago, my son went out early that day. I didn’t know what happened halfway, we didn’t come back one day, we didn’t care about it at the time, we thought we would come back when it was dark, but we never did, and then the two of us told our village head about it, and the village head took People helped us search until midnight yesterday, and finally found my son's body in the river."

The county magistrate frowned, "Then why are you sure that Ning and Ma killed your son?"

The woman glanced at Ning Xiaoqi, her eyes were full of hatred, "Because someone in the village saw Ning's throwing my son directly into the river on the day my son disappeared."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier? You have to find it yourself?"

The woman hesitated, and said with some hesitation, "She was afraid at the time. If she said it herself, she was afraid of their ambitions, so she didn't dare to say it. She didn't stand up until we found the body, and someone in the village saw me. My son went to Mrs. Ma's house, if it wasn't for Mrs. Ma's guilty conscience, why would they have moved to live in the upper part of the town?"

When the woman said this, Ning Xiaoqi couldn't sit still, and respectfully said to the county magistrate, "Magistrate, can the grassroots ask a question?"

The county magistrate nodded, as acquiescence, and Ning Xiaoqi looked at the woman and asked curiously, "Auntie, the witness you mentioned, is it sure that you saw me throw your son into the river...not at the entrance of the village? "

The woman looked certain, "This is nature!"

Ning Xiaoqi nodded and stopped talking. She was sure that the witness was lying, and she didn't know why she was lying.

The county magistrate glanced at the two parties. This was somewhat different from what Ning Xiaoqi said, so he had to say, "Bring the witness."

After a while, the yamen servant came in directly with a young woman. The woman's face was pale and she was very scared. After seeing Ning Xiaoqi and the others, she quickly looked away and went to the woman and knelt together. Next, "Mr. Xu, a woman, has met the county magistrate."

The county magistrate nodded slightly, "Mr. Xu, tell me everything you saw that day."

Mrs. Xu nodded, clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, and said softly, "That morning, the woman went up the mountain early to pick up some firewood, but when she passed by Mrs. Ma's house, she saw Shi Gang go in directly. , Then there seemed to be some quarrels in the house, the distance was too far, and the women didn't know what they were talking about."

"Shortly afterward, Mrs. Ning came in a carriage, stood outside Ma's house and waited for a while, then kicked open the door and broke in. Afterwards, the women heard Shi Gang's screams, and after a while The woman saw that Ning dragged Shi Gang, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and threw him directly into the river outside the village. The woman was very frightened, and hurried back to hide herself. My heart is struggling all the time."

"The woman knows it's wrong not to tell the truth, but...the woman is afraid. Finally, last night, the woman saw the old man crying so sadly, so she stood up cruelly and told the truth."

The matter is similar to what Ning Xiaoqi said, except that Ning Xiaoqi threw Shi Gang at the entrance of the village and turned it into a river. Who is lying? This matter still needs to be investigated.

The county magistrate coughed, and looked like Ning Xiaoqi said, "Mr. Ning, it's your turn."

Ning Xiaoqi nodded, and said loudly with a straight back, "Xu's words were good before, but in the end, the grass people just threw Shi Gang at the entrance of the village, and never directly threw him into the river."

"You are talking nonsense! Someone watched you throw my son into the river with their own eyes. What you said is simply unbelievable!"

Ning Xiaoqi rolled her eyes, glanced at Xu, and said in a cold voice, "Whether my words can be trusted is not up to you, but to the county magistrate. If the matter is not found out, it is only Xu's side." Speaking, if she is lying, she may not be."

Xu's body froze, she lowered her head and said nothing.

The county magistrate sighed, and said loudly, "I will send someone to investigate this matter, come here, and put Ning and Ma in prison for another trial."

Everyone was confused, especially Shi Gang's parents. When they heard that the county magistrate just put them in prison, they immediately lost their composure and wailed loudly, "Master county magistrate, you have to decide for us! This It is clear that Ning and Ma killed my son."

The county magistrate's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you questioning this official?"

This woman has never experienced such a scene, she shook her head quickly.

"That's the case today. Put Shi Gang's body here. If you are worried, you can wait here. Later, I will ask Wu Zuo to come over for an autopsy, and then I will send someone to find out the specific situation. After the murderer is identified, I will give you justice, and I will never condone the murderer, you two elders can rest assured."

The two old men felt a lot relieved when they heard the county magistrate said so. They nodded and watched Ning Xiaoqi and Ma Shi being taken down by the jailers, while they were guarding their son's body.

Ning Xiaoqi and Mrs. Ma were locked together. As soon as they entered, Mrs. Ma burst into tears, "Sister Xiaoqi, it's all my fault, and I've hurt you."

Ning Xiaoqi sighed softly, and comforted softly, "It's nothing, if my sister really calls me a girl, then don't see outsiders, and I don't think so at all if I say that it will cause trouble or not."

Mrs. Ma was moved for a while, nodded with worry in her eyes, and said softly, "Okay, then little seven sister, tell me honestly, did you throw Shi Gang into the river that day? If it is true, I will go directly to plead guilty , will not implicate you."

When Ning Xiaoqi heard it, she couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister, sister, I'm not stupid. Everyone knows about killing people and paying for their lives. How could I kill Shi Gang? At most, I will destroy him."

"But Mrs. Xu said she saw it with her own eyes..."

Mrs. Ma was a little puzzled, if not, why did Mrs. Xu say she saw it.

As soon as that Xu family was mentioned, Ning Xiaoqi couldn't help frowning, and asked softly, "Sister, can you tell me what is going on with this Xu family?"

Mrs. Ma nodded, and said softly, "Ms. Xu married to the next village before, but after half a year, she was divorced by her husband's family for unknown reasons. She came back alone, and has been living in her mother's house since then, and she has never seen another one."
