The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

Jiang Si's words made the monks blushing all over the world, and even Xuanci, the middle-aged monk who was temporarily acting as abbot, gave her a deep look.

Jiang Si didn't care at all, and said to the county magistrate: "We only came to Lingwu Temple this morning, and there are monks such as Zhike and other monks as evidence, and the male corpse fished out of the well is swollen. At the latest, I fell into the water yesterday, so Master Sihai said that my brother killed Master Sikong in order to silence it. It is not true that my brother killed the male corpse, so how could he kill another person to silence him?"

"Then why did he appear in the back mountain to help Junior Brother Sikong water? Junior Brother Sikong's death was not an accident!" Sihai said angrily.

Jiang Si laughed: "Don't monks pay attention to compassion and kindness, and my brother can't be enthusiastic when helping Master Sikong to water? It is said that there is a Buddha in his heart and a person is a Buddha, but Master Sihai always speculates with the greatest malice. Humans don't even know how to practice!"

"The female donor is really sharp and sharp!" Si Hai's face turned blue with anger.

Jiang Xi counterattacked unceremoniously: "The high monk is really making trouble!"

"I wonder if these donors have been to Lingwu Temple before?" the county captain suddenly said.

Xuanci looked at the monk who knew the guest.

Zhike monks are monks who specialize in receiving pilgrims in the temple. Those who can do this are often long-sleeved and good at dancing, and they are very good at coming. Such people must have a good memory, especially for pilgrims like Jiang Si and others who are not ordinary people. , the reception is definitely impressed once.

The acquaintance monk replied: "These donors are here for the first time."

The county captain took a serious look at Jiang Zhan and said in a calm tone, "Since this is the first time here, Jiang Er has no feud with Master Sikong, and Master Sihai did see Jiang Er was helping Master Sikong fetch water, so it is inferred from common sense that Jiang Er and Sikong Master have no feud. Second, there is no reason to harm Master Sikong."

Having said this, he paused slightly, then continued: "Of course, the premise of this inference is that the corpse of the man in the well was not killed by Jiang Er."

This inference, though simple, is the most plausible.

If Jiang Zhan hadn't killed the corpse of the man in the well, he would have no motive to kill Sikong, so things went back to the original point. Who killed the corpse of the man in the well?

Find out the murderer who killed the corpse of the man in the well, if Sikong hadn't died in an accident, naturally he would have found the person who killed Sikong.

This is a line.

"So, how did the girl know that the corpse of the man in the well didn't die this morning?" The county magistrate looked straight at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si calmly said: "It's not yet midsummer, the well water in the mountains is cool and refreshing, and a piece of pork in the well water will still have the effect of freezing within a day. It will look like it was fished up. Of course, this is just my speculation, the adults can wait for the autopsy results."

The county lieutenant nodded unconsciously and turned his face to the people who followed: "Go and see if you have done it."

It is a major event that a murder case is placed in a county. As early as when the onlookers were watching, the county magistrate had already sent people to the county government to dispatch officials.

"Since we have to wait for the autopsy results, Jiang Er's suspicions will be put on hold for the time being." The county magistrate looked at Lizheng in Qingniu Town.

Li Zheng nodded again and again.

"Then please speak carefully."

"The deceased was the young master of Liu's cloth shop in the east of town. His name was Liu Sheng. He was just nineteenth this year. Liu Sheng's father passed away a long time ago. Only Liu Sheng was the only one who was dragged up by his mother. Now Liu Sheng's mother is still alive. I don't know that my son is gone, alas, what a pity."

"Since it's called Young Master, isn't Liu's Cloth Shop doing a good job?"

"That's not true, the town is so big, and it's close to the county seat. Many sophisticated people go to the county seat to buy cloth. As for ordinary people, they don't want to wear such good clothes, so they just pull a few pieces of cloth during the festival. Li Zheng was also a little puzzled, "Although the business of Liu's cloth shop is average, Liu Sheng is well-dressed and has a lot of money, so people call him Young Master Liu."

"Isn't it very hard for a woman to pull her son and take care of the cloth shop?"

Li Zheng nodded again and again: "It's hard work, fortunately Liu Sheng's second uncle loves this nephew very much.

Busy mother and son all year round. "

"Since Liu Sheng's second uncle loves his nephew very much, let's call this second uncle first."

"My lord, Liu Sheng's second uncle passed away two years ago."

The county lieutenant was stunned, and then asked, "Who else is there in Liu Sheng's second uncle's family?"

"No, Liu Sheng's second uncle has never married a daughter-in-law in his life. Now, apart from distant relatives, only Liu Sheng's mother is left in the Liu family."

"As far as I know, men don't marry their wives because their families are poor. Since Liu's family owns a cloth shop, why would Second Uncle Liu Sheng be a bachelor?"

Li Zheng said: "Liu's cloth shop is not handed down from ancestors. It was opened in the year Liu Sheng was born. At that time, Liu Sheng's second uncle was already in his thirties."

"So how was the Liu family's situation before?"

Li Zheng shook his head and sighed, "I'm poor."

The county lieutenant was thoughtful.

Yu Jin suddenly asked, "Did Liu Sheng's father also marry late?"

Seeing Li Zheng looking over, he smiled: "I heard just now that Liu Sheng's second uncle was in his thirties when he was born. Since Liu Sheng is an only son and has no brothers and sisters, then his father had children at a very old age. Could it be because of not being able to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Most of the ordinary people in Dazhou got married and had children at the age of seventeen or eighteen. When Liu Sheng was born, his father was a bit too old.

"That's not true, Liu Sheng's father got married when he was in his twenties, but—" It seemed that he was a little embarrassed when he talked about other people's private affairs, and Li Zheng stopped.

The county lieutenant said mildly: "There is something to say here, but it's okay to say it. This officer now wants to know as much as possible about the situation at the deceased's home."

Li Zheng nodded and continued: "Liu Sheng's parents have no children for more than ten years after they got married, so Liu Sheng was not young when he was born."

"So it is." The county lieutenant touched his long beard.

A young man following Lizheng suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, I remembered something my mother said!"

Seeing everyone looking over, the young man suddenly became nervous while being excited.

"Let's talk about it, young man." The county lieutenant smiled.

The young man couldn't help but look at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng glared at him fiercely: "Sir, just say it!"

"My mother once said that Aunt Liu could not give birth to a child for more than ten years. The reason why Liu Sheng was born was because she came to Lingwu Temple to offer incense to ask for a child!"

It was clearly said that the situation of the deceased suddenly involved Lingwu Temple. Even if it was a good thing, Xuanci and other monks looked a little ugly.

Under the encouragement of the county magistrate, the young man was excited to be valued: "My mother saw that Aunt Liu gave birth to Liu Sheng, and she also came to Lingwu Temple to offer incense to ask for a child, and it didn't take long for her to conceive me. Haha, Ling Wusi incense is really effective."

"So, Lingwu Temple has been flourishing since 20 years ago?"

Xuan Cichong county magistrate chanted a Buddha's name, which was regarded as a default.

At this time, the subordinate of the county lieutenant walked in: "Sir, you have done it, and your subordinates took him directly to the place where the corpse was parked."

The county lieutenant nodded and looked at Miss Li.
