Idle courtiers

Chapter 82 Eurocode D
But thinking about it, that's right.

It's a feudal society here, most of the girls with yellow flowers don't leave the door, and they don't go through the door, so you can't see them even if you want to.The streets are full of women over [-], making people suspect that I, Ming, have entered an aging society since then.

This is the first, and the second, as the saying goes: men do not live, women do not age.

It means that a woman ages quickly, once she has a baby, after 30 years old, she will lose her youth.In ancient times when life was difficult, women at the age of 40 were wrinkled and looked like old women.Men, on the other hand, age slowly. They are in their 60s and [-]s, and their appearance has not changed much compared to their thirties.But men are too tired to live and die early.

Moreover, in the era of backward medical conditions, a cold would kill a person.Therefore, the number of widowed women greatly exceeds that of widowers, which also gave birth to the so-called "widow culture" in classical literature. It has also become a permanent theme in Huaben romance novels.

Zhou Nan shook his head: "Niu Er, Niu Er, you are so daring, you went to kick the widow's door in the middle of the night, and now you are beaten to death, right? It's really an aggrieved death, an insignificant death, and a death as light as a feather .By the way, Ada, you have to report this matter to the county magistrate and the execution room ceremony. Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

It's really not a pleasant thing to be called out in such a cold and snowy day.

Lin Ada: "Master Zhou, Ah Er was going to report to the county magistrate after receiving the report, but the magistrate just fell asleep. You know his temper. He hates others to disturb his sleep. He ordered that, As long as he lies down, even if the sky falls, wait until he wakes up. My brother is an honest man, so he ran home to discuss with me. Master, you go to settle the case."

Zhou Nan frowned again: "Then, why don't you inform the master of the torture room, and you can also call Captain Li of the fast class!" Although the yamen is small, it is a dojo inside a screw shell.Everyone is messing around on the scene, and political power is involved, so it is inevitable that they will have their own little ones.

The so-called temple demon is strong, and the pool is shallow.One must be prudent in being a person and doing things, so as not to accidentally offend others and be tricked behind their backs in the future.

It is inappropriate for him, Zhou Nan, to intervene.

Lin A Dao: "Master, you forgot. The old mother in the country was seriously ill and took leave to serve the two mothers. As for Captain Li... the younger one thinks so, he is only in charge of arresting people, and it is not up to him to decide the case. Besides, the case was taken over by us, so we will naturally be responsible to the end."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "Master, this case is also simple, the murderer Huo Chunfen did not escape, obediently waited at home to be subdued, let's take people back to the Yamen directly, record the statement, even if it is a big case solved This kind of credit is easy to come by, seeing that the end of the year is approaching, there must be rewards from above, master, please show compassion to the little people."

In principle, Zhou Nan would not intervene in bloody cases. This kind of case is not too lucrative, and it involves too much responsibility.

However, Lin Ada's words are also reasonable.Now that the case has been handed over to the contractor, it is impossible to push it away, at least until Shizhi County wakes up.Moreover, the case is too simple.After finally encountering a major case, if it is solved, there will be a bonus, so why not do it.

So, Zhou Nan nodded, and told the watchman: "You go and call the embarrassment to Huo's house. Hurry up, it's too late. I'm afraid that if there are too many onlookers, the scene will be messed up." Then he took the Lin family brothers to go. The Huo family in the east of the city.

The ancient cities all faced north and south, and the urban construction plans were roughly the same.The government agencies are located in the north, and the west of the city is the state-owned assets such as schools, Confucian temples, granaries, county mansions, and public housing.The south of the city is generally a commercial area, while the east of the city is home to the urban poor.The so-called: Yamen opens to the south, dignitaries live in the west gate, rich people live in the south gate, beggars and poor people live in the east city.

The east of the city where the Huo family’s dyeing house is located is the residence of ordinary people in the county. There are privately built shacks everywhere, crowding the originally horizontal and vertical streets to the brim.The ground is full of rubbish, walking at night without street lights, bumps and bumps are unavoidable.

Zhou Nan walked hard in the snow, looked at the neighborhood that was so dirty and chaotic, and couldn't help but think: "The night is dark and windy, it's a day of murder and arson. This bully second choice touched Widow Huo today. It’s professional to let yourself go in the room.”

The three of them came a bit late after all.When we got to the ground, we saw that the dyeing room of Huo's family was already brightly lit, and any place where people could stand was full of onlookers.

Everyone chattered: "It's terrible, it's terrible, another murder case happened in our Andong County!"

"Yeah, yeah, since Zhou Xiucai killed someone ten years ago, it's been a long time since I saw bloodshed. It's still stealing fragrance through the wall. People's hearts are so old, and the world is getting worse." There was an inexplicable excitement in the words.

Someone yelled again: "The Zhou Xiucai who murdered ten years ago is here."

Zhou Nan was annoyed and was about to explode when the Lin brothers held up the scabbards and slapped the audience out.

The venue was finally cleared, and after driving away the audience, Zhou Nan realized that the place was quite big.

The Huo family has six houses, one of which is the main room, one belongs to Huo's widow, one belongs to her servant girl Spoon, and the other is today's murderer, the servant Huo Lichun.The other two are warehouses for storing fabrics.

The dyeing room has a large drying yard, which is about two basketball courts in size, which is very rare in the narrow and sheltered east of the city.

In the middle of the drying yard lay a figure, with a hoe thrown beside it.Zhou Nan walked over and took a look. There was a scar on the back of this person's head, half a foot long, exposing the white bones inside.There was still a pool of blood on the ground, but not much.

Zhou Nan suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and looked up to see if it was the restaurant owner Niu Er or who it was.

Next to Niu Er's body, a boy about 14 years old knelt on the stone floor and buried his head deeply in the ground.

In addition, there is a filial piety woman about 35 or [-] years old who is being supported by an eleven or twelve-year-old maid, crying non-stop, looking very sad.

A village chief came over early and introduced that the boy kneeling on the ground was the murderer Huo Lichun.The 35-year-old woman is Huo's widow.As for the little girl, she was Widow Huo's servant girl.

Zhou Nan nodded.

The Li Chang shouted: "I want you to know that this is Zhou Dianli in the yamen. They are all quiet and raise their heads so that they can answer."

"Yes, Master Zhou." The three raised their heads at the same time.

Spoon Spoon is a stupid, ugly girl with a snotty nose at the age of eleven or twelve, and dull eyes when looking at people. Obviously, her intelligence is not very strong.Compared with her, the murderer Huo Lichun who was kneeling on the ground was a clever child, his eyes were shining brightly in the dark night, and his facial features were a bit handsome.It's just that he is probably younger, with thin arms and legs, and looks a little malnourished.

In contrast, it was Widow Huo who made Zhou Nan's eyes light up, and couldn't help applauding in her heart: If you want to be pretty and filial, this woman is a stunner.Ferocious, ferocious, at least D or European standard D, rare, rare!
