A knife in love

Chapter 1374

Li Qiufeng saw Er Niu's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his clothes were torn, and his face was full of horror. He knew that he was terrified of being beaten by those boys.Therefore, Li Qiufeng had no choice but to wave his hands at Er Niu, then turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, Er Niu suddenly heard Er Niu laughing behind him, and then hummed softly. The first two sentences were still "spring day, tall building, bright moon night, feast in Huatang".Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but stop.

When Li Qiufeng met Aunt Zhu and Er Niu outside the village yesterday, he had heard Er Niu sing this song, and he was quite puzzled at that time.At this time Er Niu started singing again, but Li Qiufeng became suspicious.Because at this moment, he actually felt as if he had heard this song somewhere before.

At first, Li Qiufeng thought he had heard Er Niu sing yesterday, so he felt familiar with this song at this time.But vaguely, it seems that this is not the case.It's just that the more I recall where I heard this song, the more confused I get.He shook his head and turned to look at Er Niu.

I saw Er Niu standing on the ground, with his left hand in front and his right hand hanging by his ear, in an extremely weird posture.And while Er Niu was humming a song, his hands were still shaking.After a while, he retracted his left hand to his ear, slowly stretched out his right hand, and bent his body slightly downwards, in an extremely weird posture.

Li Qiufeng felt like being shocked by electricity, he finally remembered where he had heard this song before.

That was when he met Liu Feiyan for the first time, in a mountain field, a group of strange actors gathered together to sing opera.At that time they sang this song, and they swayed on stage, their postures were quite similar to Er Niu's appearance at this time.

If he only heard this song, Li Qiufeng might not be able to remember where he had heard it before, but seeing Er Niu's strange dancing posture, he immediately remembered that night.

At that time and place, Li Qiufeng didn't know Liu Feiyan's origin.Later, through various encounters, Li Qiufeng realized that those actors were all killers of the Liu Sheng clan.Because Liu Feiyan lost her lover and son, she became crazy from then on, Liu Sheng Zongyan had to send capable men to guard her.Although Liu Feiyan is insane, she never forgets the days when she and Emperor Zhengde lived together, so she let these killers pretend to be actors and reenact the story of her and Emperor Zhengde from time to time.

Only that night, Li Qiufeng did hear a killer from the Liusheng clan sing this song.

At that time, Li Qiufeng just felt that the tune of this song was very strange, not like the ballads of the Central Plains.Later he knew that Liu Feiyan and others were from Fusang, so he guessed that this song should be a ballad of Fusang.After these Fusang people came to the Central Plains, although they hid it deeply, they unintentionally sang songs that were very familiar since childhood.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was startled.I thought to myself that Erniu was just a fool, how could he sing the songs of the Fusang people?

I saw Er Niu writhing around and humming a weird tune.Although it was sunny all around, Li Qiufeng felt an indescribable chill.

Li Qiufeng took a deep breath.At this moment, he guessed that there must be many secrets that he didn't know about the silly boy in front of him.But Er Niu is insane, and cannot use the means of dealing with ordinary people to ask the secrets he knows.Li Qiufeng's thoughts changed sharply, and he suddenly remembered that three years ago, when he was a member of a hundred households in Fusi, Jinyiwei South Town, he had encountered a case of "a farmer's woman poisoned her husband".The case was not tortuous. A peasant woman in Shanxi conspired with a man of her own race and poisoned her husband to death.But because there was no evidence, the case went from the magistrate's yamen to the magistrate's yamen, and finally pushed the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the peasant woman still couldn't plead guilty.After the Ministry of Criminal Justice received the case, it did not start a trial immediately. Instead, it sent an old official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to visit Weifu, the place where the case occurred in Shanxi.

After the old official arrived in Shanxi, he did not disturb the local officials, but disguised himself and went around the peasant woman's house to inquire about the news.Later, the old official discovered that there was a villager living near the peasant woman's house, and there was a silly girl in her 20s in the house.When the old official saw the girl, she was playing with some children by a stream.I saw that she first poured clear water into the clay bowl, then picked up a handful of sand, sprinkled it in the clay bowl in a ghostly manner, and then pretended to hold the clay bowl, and handed it to a fat boy beside her. Beside, the demon said in a wicked way: "Second brother, this is the medicine I made for you, you can drink it quickly. After drinking the medicine, your illness will be cured. Hee hee, hee hee."

Seeing this situation, the old official's heart trembled.When he checked the case files at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he had seen the confessions given by the peasant woman in the magistrate's yamen and the magistrate's yamen, and knew that the peasant woman called her husband "Second Brother" on weekdays.At this time, seeing the silly girl playing with the children, the old official suddenly realized.He hid aside, keeping every move of these children firmly in his heart.Then he rushed to the magistrate's yamen, and used the security of the Ministry of Punishment to get the magistrate to dispatch police officers to obey orders. He bought some pastries and candies himself, and without much effort asked the silly girl to tell what he saw that day.It turned out that on the day the peasant woman poisoned her husband, this silly girl happened to be playing in the peasant woman's yard.The peasant woman knew that this girl was not very bright-headed, and she was in a passion for adultery at the time, and she just wanted to kill her husband a moment earlier, so that she could live and fly with her adulterer, so she didn't take this silly girl to heart, and only cared about the medicine in the medicine bowl. Poisoned, fed her husband and drank it.

The silly girl saw the murder of the peasant woman clearly, but she didn't know what the peasant woman was doing, but she found it very interesting to see the husband of the peasant woman bleeding from all seven orifices and screaming to death.After the incident, because the girl was a fool, the local police officers did not question her.And this girl only likes to play with those children on weekdays, and unintentionally imitated what she saw that day.It's just that the villagers all know that the girl is a fool, and they don't have time to watch her messing around with the children on weekdays. Therefore, neither the county magistrate nor the magistrate's government found such an important clue.

After the old officials inquired about the news, they brought the silly girl to the Ministry of Punishment in the capital. First, they discussed with the presiding judge, the teacher, and others, and then invited an actor to perform a few times like the silly girl.Finally, a "ghost show" was staged in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, allowing the peasant woman to witness with her own eyes how she poisoned her husband that day.The peasant woman was scared out of her wits and confessed on the spot. It took half a year for the case to be finally closed.

Li Qiufeng had witnessed the situation of the peasant women confessing in the prison that day, and he knew that people like the silly girl and Er Niu who were born with stupid brains must not force them to speak, but could only do what they liked and lure them to say tell the truth.Therefore, when Li Qiufeng had an idea, he also imitated Er Niu's appearance, swinging his hands back and forth, one up and one down.It's just that these movements are awkward and weird.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, luckily Miss Murong is not here, otherwise she would be so disgusted seeing me like this that she might even vomit out the last night's meal.
