Chapter 130 The Halfway Daughter
"When all the guests arrived, Luo Huanan deliberately appeared in front of everyone, and Steward Liu followed the previous plan to send away the maids around Luo Yanwen, and then ruthlessly killed him, and then hid in the grass Waiting for Luo Huanan, but Luo Huanan was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he had already planned a plan to kill and silence him. As soon as he arrived at the grass, he unexpectedly killed Butler Liu, and the ripped clothes that my lord and I speculated yesterday appeared. Afterwards, Luo Huanan dragged the man to the backyard and faked the scene of suicide, which is why Butler Liu didn't struggle to resist before his death, because he never thought that his master would kill him." Jiang Youzhi continued talking.

At this moment Ah Chang was a little puzzled and said, "But why did Luo Huanan be so cruel that he killed his son? As the saying goes, a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, how is this possible?"

After hearing this, Jiang Youzhi said, "According to what the maid said, Luo Huanan and Luo Yanwen are not close on a daily basis, and Luo Yanwen had a big fight with Luo Huanan when he came back from Huzhou. According to Luo Yanwen's usually modest temperament, if he hadn't been shocked He would never quarrel with his father so fiercely, and the last sentence he said before he left was, you will be punished. Luo Yanwen is an extremely righteous person who attaches great importance to filial piety. He can say If this is the case, it can be seen that Luo Huanan has done an excessive thing, then the motive for the murder is very clear. It is the same as Liu Butler's, it is to kill and silence, Luo Yanwen must have known about Luo Huanan's wrong Tell the secret, will be killed."

Ah Chang thought for a while and said, "But there is still something illogical."

Jiang Youzhi said: "What?"

A Chang said: "Luo Yanwen is already crazy, what threat would a crazy person pose? Why did Luo Huanan go to such great lengths to attack a fool whose mind is no longer sound?"

Hearing this, Jiang Youzhi frowned and fell into deep thought. For a while, she couldn't figure it out.

Pei Xun said, "Huzhou must be visited, but before we go, we should first go to Mao Shizhen's house in Xiaoba Village."

Early the next morning, Jiang Youzhi followed Pei Xun to Xiaoba Village, and when he arrived at Mao Shizhen's house, he found that her family was very poor, the house was full of holes, and half of the side house on the other side had collapsed. .

Just now Jiang Youzhi knocked on the door, but found no one answered, at this moment, an old lady came outside: "Are you all okay?"

Jiang Youzhi hurried forward with a smile and said, "Ma'am, we are Wei Cheng from the county government, and we are here to investigate Mao Shizhen's affairs under the order of my grandfather."

After hearing this, the aunt nodded eagerly, walked forward and opened the door and said, "Come in quickly, old man Mao is ill and has been lying down for the past few days."

When Jiang Youzhi entered the room, he saw a very old man lying on the bed, his hair was gray and his whole body was skinny, when he saw someone who wanted to get up, he started to cough uncontrollably.

The aunt leaned close to his ear and shouted: "Someone from the county government has come to find out about Shizhen's situation."

Hearing this, Sixth Mao was a little excited. He wanted to get up and say something, but he coughed more intensely. The aunt hurriedly helped him up.

When Sixth Mao recovered, he said sadly, "My lord, save...help my poor daughter!"

In the end, the old man who was over half a century old started to cry, Jiang Youzhi said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, we will continue to investigate, and we will definitely clear your innocence at that time. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body first, so that Only in the future can I reunite with my daughter!"

With tears in his eyes, Mao Liu kept nodding his head.

In order not to affect Liu Liu, after leaving the room, Jiang Youzhi said to the aunt just now: "Auntie, who are you from Liu Mao and Mao Shizhen?"

The aunt said: "I am Maoliu's neighbor, because Maoliu and Shizhen have always depended on each other for life, and now that Shizhen is not here, we rely on our old neighbors to take care of us."

Jiang Youzhi asked again: "Do you know about Mao Shizhen? How was Mao Shizhen taken away by Luo Huanan?"

The old lady nodded and began to say: "It was two months ago, I took Shizhen to wash clothes by the river, when someone shouted that people from Luofu came, because Luo Huanan has always been rampant, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of crimes. , besides, all the women she liked were robbed by force, and those who dared to refuse would end up miserable. Even the government didn't dare to take care of his affairs, so people from all over the world were very afraid of him. I heard that people from Luofu When it came, the girls all ran away and hid, but Shizhen didn't know this, I asked her to hide, but she didn't hide, and said that in broad daylight, those people dare to do something, I can't persuade you Move this stubborn girl, when Luo Huanan passed by, he saw her and forcibly took her away, hey..."

When Jiang Youzhi heard this, he frowned subconsciously: "The people in the whole Helian area should know about Luo Huanan's evil deeds, how could Shizhen not know about it?"

The aunt said: "Shizhen, it's not Maoliu's biological daughter. She didn't grow up in Helian since she was a child, so she naturally knows how powerful the bully is."

Jiang Youzhi was a little surprised and said, "What? Aren't they biological father and daughter?"

The aunt nodded: "Yes, about a year and a half ago, I came to help Mao Liu cook one day, and I saw a dirty Shizhen at the door. She said that she came from famine. She didn't eat anymore, and wanted to ask for a meal. Later, Mao Liu asked her about the situation at home. This girl seemed to have lost her memory. She didn't know anything, and she didn't even remember her own name. He had no children and was alone, and he liked this little girl very much, so he named her Mao Shizhen, and asked us fellow villagers to testify that he recognized Shizhen as his daughter. Shizhen has always treated her as her own, and treated her very well."

Jiang Youzhi asked again: "Then since Mao Shizhen was taken captive to Luo Mansion, has she ever returned?"

The old lady thought for a while and then said: "I haven't come back, but Mao Liu went to Luo Mansion to make trouble a few times, and he was beaten every time and brought back. In the past, Mao Liu's body was considered healthy, but this man is old. No, how could he stand torture and beatings? No, his health is getting worse and worse this time, but he never forgets to call Shizhen's name while lying on the bed. It's really pitiful! ! Those goddamn Luofu people are really devoid of conscience, they will not end well after doing all the bad things!"

Jiang Youzhi never expected that the matter on Mao Shizhen's side turned out to be like this, so this Mao Shizhen is indeed doubtful, and this can be regarded as today's windfall.
