Chapter 842 I Heard Someone Say It

Seeing her like this, Xie Yuan couldn't help the tears rolling in his eyes.Obviously they had hope for the better, but they suddenly took a turn for the worse. Who can bear it?

Xie Yuan pursed his resolute lips, suppressed the sadness and tears in his heart, and said slowly:

"Sister-in-law Ah Shui, now I suspect that Sha Wei died by swallowing gold. To confirm, I have to cut open his stomach. In order to avenge Sha Wei, we must find out the cause of his death. This...can you agree?"

Mrs. Ah Shui was stunned for a moment, then quickly said:

"No, it's impossible... When did our family see gold? Then the master must have misread it. I can't let him be so miserable."

Xie Yuan was silent, not knowing how to persuade him for a moment.

At this time, the eldest son who had been crying silently next to him showed a puzzled and hesitant expression, and after a while, he whispered:

"Mother, is there really no gold in our family?"

When Mrs. Ah Shui heard this, she was angry and anxious, crying and saying:
"Where is it? Did it fall from the sky? Have you seen it?"

The child said cautiously:
"...Aye once told me that when I grow up, if I encounter difficulties, I can dig up his tomb. He left gold for me."

Mrs. Ah Shui was dumbfounded, and Xie Yuan was also stunned.

Mrs. A Shui asked:

"When did he tell you? Why don't I know, and you take it seriously when I'm teasing you?"

"That's what he told me when he left home last time." The eldest son asked pitifully as tears fell, "Mother, Aye won't really swallow the gold in his stomach, and leave it for me. Are you going?"

……

……

Xie Yuan asked Zhao Nianyou to bring Samad's three children into his tent and hand them over to Shen Liuzhen.

Then a group of people took Sha Wei's body to the school grounds.

The soldiers on the school grounds were all sitting on the ground. After Xie Yuan appeared, the messenger beat the drum twice, and everyone stood up in unison.

Sister-in-law Ah Shui, who was following Xie Yuan, saw so many people lined up in a neat formation, and the mere movement of standing up was like sea water, with a loud noise.

She suddenly felt a shock in her heart, and a sense of oppressiveness came over her, so frightened that she couldn't help but hide behind Xie Yuan again.

Although they are all women, Xie Yuan's aura is strong, making people feel more secure, and even making people forget the fact that she is a woman.

Xie Yuan turned his head to look at Mrs. Ah Shui, and gave her a comforting look.Then he beckoned and ordered all the chiefs, chiefs and guards to come forward.

The messenger went to deliver the order, and after a while, many people in the phalanx moved, passed through the gap in the formation, ran over quickly, and stood under the high platform.

There are a lot of people here who have never participated in the riots and don't know the inside story. They all looked at the dead body in the middle of the stands with curious eyes.

Xie Yuan stood on the high platform, wearing a hundred ordinary clothes that swayed gently with the wind. She glanced at the expressions of these people, and saw that it was just as Shen Liuzhen said, no matter whether Hu people or Han people, most of them are very fond of Sha I don't care much about the future death, just a bystander's mentality.

Only a few of them showed anger and ferocious expressions, as if they had a lot of hatred.

She is still not sure which of these people have ulterior motives and which are just bewitched by rumors.

Thinking about this, Xie Yuan stretched out an arm, stretched it back, pointed at Sha Wei's body, and Mrs. Ah Shui introduced:

"This is the body of the dead soldier Sha Wei found this morning. This is the wife of the deceased. She has agreed to conduct an autopsy to unravel the cause of Sha Wei's death. Now I call you here so that you can see it with your own eyes and break the truth. gossip."

She paused, looked up at the square formation in the distance, and said:
"All the soldiers are here, and they will publicly testify. If Sha Weizhen was tortured to death by his accomplices, he will be dealt with immediately by military law without delay."

Xie Yuan's tone was very ordinary, even rarely easy-going, but everyone couldn't help but shudder.Shocked by her iron face and ruthlessness.

Military law?Killing your comrades means paying for your life.It seems that there is no way to kill someone today.

Sha Wei's gang leader opened his eyes wide in fright, feeling extremely anxious, and felt his neck go cold:
Whether he can survive depends on the direction of the case, what if the investigation is not good?Isn't his life over today?

A Xianbei gang leader said:

"It's been said that he was tortured to death. What's the use of ripping open his stomach? Instead of harming his body, it's better to listen to other people's words. Everyone knows that Sha Wei was tortured to death!"

Xie Yuan's eyes flashed, and he sneered and said:
"Everyone knows? Why don't I know?... I often patrol the military camps, and I have dismissed and replaced several military officers because of injustice. If you all know, why didn't anyone mention it to me before Sha Wei was alive? Woolen cloth?"

The man fell silent after hearing this, but another Xianbei man whispered:
"His group is all Han Chinese... What's the use of talking? So many people are targeting him together, which one is the same?"

Xie Yuan's sharp eyes turned to this person again, and asked:

"Did he tell you that before his death?"

The man quickly raised his eyes to look at Xie Yuan, then avoided his gaze timidly, and said in a low voice:

"I heard from others..."

Xie Yuan squinted his eyes, thinking about how to find out the source of these remarks in the future.She changed the whip in her hand, walked around two steps, and said:

"Then let me tell you what's the use. Although the position of the captain is the lowest, it is still better than the salary of the soldiers. There are many people who want to be, and there are many people who are afraid that they will be kicked out. There is a confused person who lost his position. , does not mean that everyone is willing to bully their accomplices and lose their positions.

Second, Sha Wei ranked second among them in the selection and assessment. If there is such a thing, if you tell him, he will be able to replace the original leader... In this way, can you still say it is useless? "

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Xie Yuan scanned their reactions with sharp eyes, and walked back and forth for two more steps, thinking that the cause of Sha Wei's death has not yet been found out, and it is too early to say anything else.Then he raised his voice and said:
"Military doctor was in charge of the autopsy in the morning, saying it was a sudden death due to a sudden illness. His autopsy was not professional, and now he has invited a clerk from Tingwei's Mansion to do the autopsy. He suspected that Sha Wei committed suicide by swallowing gold. After the autopsy, you all come up to be witnesses, have a look Is it real."

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Mrs. Ah Shui behind him, and asked:

"can we start?"

Mrs. Ah Shui has never seen such a big scene, and she has been standing with her shoulders shrunk, looking very scared. After listening to Xie Yuan's question, she felt that the eyes of those people were all on her, like It was the fire that made her nervous and uncomfortable.

She didn't dare to say anything, but nodded timidly, which was considered to be her agreement.
