The murderer of Lan Niang's case was not found, but a body appeared in the county.

This was an old woman, her mouth and tongue had been cut off, and her body was dumped in the vegetable market. Because it was covered by a vegetable basket, it was not discovered until noon.

Pei Ce looked at the old woman's clothes. Where the word "prison" should be written on it, there was a large Chinese character written on it.

Last time it was a sin to commit adultery, this time it is a sin to speak...

"Sir, the identity of the deceased has been found out. She is Mrs. Xu who sells meat in the vegetable market. Her son sells pork in the vegetable market. She usually follows him, but there is something wrong with Mrs. Xu."

Zhu Captou glanced at Pei Ce and saw that he was listening seriously, so he continued: "Mrs. Xu loves to gossip. Usually the Zhang family and the Li family gossip. A few months ago, a newly married woman came to sell meat. She and After saying a few words, she turned around and said that she had seduced a wild man outside. He said that he had a nose and eyes, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The woman's husband heard this, and he got into an argument with the woman in a hurry. I know that woman was so angry that she hanged herself."

Zhu Captou told a few more things about Mrs. Xu. Not only did she gossip about other people's families, she even told her own family that her previous daughter-in-law ran away because of her scolding. "

Mrs. Xu has many strange things. Maybe just by looking at you in the crowd, she can tell you a complete story.

The rumor said that he had a nose and eyes, so many people believed him.

As for hurting someone, Mrs. Xu would cry with snot and tears.

"I just said casually, how could I know that she would commit suicide? If she is really innocent and her body is not afraid of the shadow, why would she commit suicide?"

Mrs. Xu said without any guilt: "It must be because of a guilty conscience and the quilt hit a sore spot."

Pei Ce was certain that Mrs. Xu's death was inseparable from her gossiping.

He asked someone to call the husband of the woman who was forced to commit suicide by Mrs. Xu.

This was a very young man. He was very drunk when he was called. He had an unkempt beard. His clothes might not have been washed for a long time, and they smelled bad.

Zhu Captou frowned slightly: "Chen Su, I called you here today because I want to ask you something." Chen Su suddenly smiled: "Are you doing it for Mrs. Xu's business?"

Zhu Captou narrowed his eyes: "You know?"

"Her body was thrown on the street, and I saw it too. It's really great." He laughed loudly: "This is retribution, this vicious woman, she harmed Hui Niang... Now she has also received retribution... Ha Haha... It's a good death... It's a good death. If she doesn't die, I won't let her go..."

Chen Su drank too much, crying and laughing, describing himself as crazy.

There is nothing useful to ask from him.

Moreover, Chen Su has proof of alibi. When Mrs. Xu died, he was drinking in the tavern and had a dispute with the waiter because he didn't pay for the drink...

"It doesn't seem to be him." Mr. Zhu was in trouble. The impact of these two cases was very bad, but he couldn't catch any clues about the murderer. The suspects who might be the murderer also had alibi.

He looked at Pei Ce.

I saw the county magistrate wrote two words on the paper, one "obscene" and the other "mouth".

Pei Ce said: "The murderer believed that the deceased was guilty of these two crimes."

Zhu Captou nodded.

"Do you think these two charges are related?"

Before Zhu Captou could say anything, a yamen servant hurriedly ran over: "Sir... no... it's not good. Another person is dead." (End of this chapter)
