Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 440 The case is solved (3)
What pleased Li Zhu most was the bumper harvest of corn.She planted more than 1000 corn trees, and most of them survived.The resulting sticks are thick and long, with full grains.The villagers thought she was planting some kind of flowers at first, but they turned out to be food.There were those naughty children who wanted to see what happened, and Li Zhu couldn't keep an eye on them all the time, so he had to send Rhubarb and its partners to change guards in turn.The corn finally matured safely.

Two days before the mid-autumn festival, Qing Feng came to tell Li Zhu that the Zhou Family Village case had been solved.

Li Zhu hurriedly asked him for details.

Qing Feng took a sip of water and said: "I still asked about it from his youngest daughter. That night when Zhou Danian went to drink flower wine with his friends and got drunk, his wife Wang had an argument with him, and he beat him as usual. Not only did her mother not persuade her, but she fanned the flames. Zhou Danian hit hard, and Wang was killed on the spot.

Zhou Danian's mother saw that her son beat his daughter-in-law to death, and she was afraid that the government would investigate, so she conspired with her son and said to the public that her son and daughter-in-law were angry, and Wang couldn't think about it for a while, so she hanged herself.His family often quarreled and fought, and the neighbors were not surprised.Mrs. Wang also often complained to others, saying that if it wasn't for the two children, she wouldn't want to live so long ago. Although the villagers regretted it, they didn't become suspicious.The mother and son thought they were perfect, but their words were heard by Qi Ye's youngest daughter.After the two found out, they threatened the youngest daughter in every possible way, and said that she had heard wrongly. The child was young and scared, and no one dared to speak.

It happened that Wu Chengming heard about this, and he also found out that the Wang family was about the same age as Nan Yu, so he gave the Zhou family some money, cut off the head of the deceased, and threw the body into the river to frame Yang Laoshi. "

Li Zhu asked again how to sentence, Qing Feng said that he didn't know the details, but Zhou Da Nian should be regarded as manslaughter, the crime is not death, but the crime of living is inevitable.Zhou's mother is also guilty.

"It's a pity that there are two children, the older one is only seven or eight years old, and the younger one is only four years old." Li Zhu also sighed endlessly.

Word of Wang's case spread quickly.People all said that it was because the heavens had eyes, that Zhou's mother and son killed someone and sold the body for money, not wanting to be found out the truth of the case.If it weren't for this, it is estimated that Mrs. Wang would die as well.

Li Zhu found out later that the two girls had been adopted by their aunt.Li Zhu found out where the child's aunt lived, and asked Qingfeng to send them some clothes and food.This matter is over.

Not long after, Li Zhu heard again that Wu Chengming's younger sister, Wu Yurong, came back to visit her relatives.

It is said that Wu Yurong is the concubine of a nobleman in Beijing.Because he gave birth to a son, he was valued by noble people.The story of her brother had already been reported to the capital, but unfortunately the distance between the two places was too far, and Chen Jin's movements were too fast. Before she could react, Wu Chengming was already dead.It is said that Wu Yurong went to the Wu family's ancestral grave and cried a lot, and left with red eyes after seeing the widow's wife.

Many people in the county witnessed this incident, and they speculated privately:

"Maybe our county magistrate will be unlucky. This woman is not a good one. None of the Wu family is good."

Someone also said: "It should be fine, the Chen family is not easy to mess with."

When Li Zhu saw Chen Guan again, he also euphemistically mentioned this matter.

Chen Guanman said nonchalantly: "Unless Bai Jin is like Bai Jin, this is unavoidable. Anyway, my family's enemies are not bad."

Chen Guan was talking, his eyes fell on the vegetable garden of Li Zhu's house, he pointed to the corn and asked, "What is this?"
