Abandoned wives of the Qing Dynasty

Since Hongli had already selected the horse, the three of them paid for the horse quickly and left Luoyang City on horseback.

Hongli is still dizzy now, because he used the two taels of silver he earned just now to buy Hongzhou Win again, although when he came back from watching the horse, Hongzhou's odds had dropped from 45 to 35. Lose [-].

However, with two taels of silver, he still got 70 taels, which made Hongli happy for a long time.

And I have to say that Hongli's intuition is really accurate.

Although the three of them got on their horses and left Luoyang City, if you look behind, you can still see the city wall of Luoyang City.

However, who knows, the next day in the evening, the three of them returned to Luoyang City in a prison car.

Speaking of which, Hongwang is causing trouble again! !

It should be said that Hongzhou had always believed in Hongli's intuition, and he also felt that the farther he was from Luoyang City, the safer he would be. Therefore, what he and Hongli meant was that even at night, they had to travel, and would rather live in a ruined temple than live in a ruined temple. Do not stay in inns and B&Bs.

But in the evening, when Hongwang saw an inn, he couldn’t move anymore, so he proposed to stay for one night. Anyway, he had some money now, so he was not short of money. He stayed for one night, and went on his way tomorrow. By the way, he bought some steamed buns, pickles and vegetables Yes, so convenient to eat on the go.

During the two days in the arena, everyone ate well, and it was hard to eat dry food, so Hongli agreed.

Hongli agreed, so Hongzhou naturally had no choice but to comply with the big guy's request.

I thought, it would be better to be careful at night, anyway, when I came all the way.Both of them sleep together, and one person is on duty at night. Tonight, I will be on duty by myself, so that the two of them can have a good rest.

The plan was perfect, but the reality was cruel, and something happened the next morning.

In fact, the inn is not far from Luoyang City. It belongs to some people who have a short rest before returning to Luoyang City, or because they only leave Luoyang City for a night after noon.

Luoyang City is a city with relatively intensive personal contacts.The business of this inn is naturally good.

And the three of them were sadly involved in a life lawsuit.

Because it is close to Luoyang City, this inn is built in the suburbs, so it is called a big one. The whole inn is divided into two parts, catering and accommodation.

And each part is divided into upper, middle and lower grades because of the different needs of customers.

Although the three brothers made a lot of money.However, it is impossible to be extravagant, but they can't bear the kind of open shop shared with many people, so they choose the mid-range one.

In the middle, there is a big kang.If there are more people, you can sleep three or four.But only Hongli and Hongwang slept, and they naturally slept comfortably.

When they were about to check out and leave the next day, they were stopped by screams. Next door to them, a young girl was killed by j.

And there is another companion of this young girl, although her clothes are also messy.There are stab wounds on the body, though.It is said that there is still a breath left.

Since there was a murder case, the three brothers who were neighbors next door were naturally forcibly left behind. After all, everyone in that courtyard was suspected.

"Look, I've said it all, don't stay here, okay, I'm in trouble, my intuition won't lie to me!!" Hongli sat down and said angrily.

Isn't this delaying things? Look, because there is no money, I have already delayed my trip to the northwest. If I continue to delay like this, what will I do if Ama and the others find me? ?

Naturally, Hongwang and Hongzhou will be fine. Seventh Aunt and Eighth Aunt are so kind people, and as for Eighth Uncle, he loves his only son to the bone, so pitiful as he is! !

Which family's son is like himself, who was beaten up by his pro-Ama? ?

Originally, as long as we hang around in the northwest and have a good time, even if we get beaten up by Ama and put in confinement, we will admit it.

But now, alas...

"Hong Zhou, you didn't sleep last night, why don't you sleep for a while, you were too tired yesterday." Hong Wang didn't bother to pay attention to Hong Li's clamor, so he turned his head and said to Hong Zhou.

Getting along these days, I also understand a truth, most of what Hongli said is nonsense, you can ignore it, as for Hongzhou, you can listen to it as much as you can! !

It's very strange, Mingming Hong Zhou is the youngest! !

Hong Zhou nodded, originally he planned to let the two of them lead the horse for a run, and he would lie behind Hong Li or Hong Wang to rest for a while, but now that something happened, he couldn't leave, so he could sleep for a while of.

At noon, the yamen's messenger, Wu Zuo, came.

The waiter at the inn was very enthusiastic, and greeted a dozen officials to have tea and dinner.

However, I didn't know that he was extremely enthusiastic about his work, and he said that he would do business first and then eat, which instantly made the three brothers feel that they would praise the prefect of Luoyang Prefecture to their respective Ama after returning to Beijing.

Look at people's work attitude! !

The three Hongli brothers, as their neighbors, were naturally interrogated by officials.

Basically, Hongli and Hongwang slept soundly, while Hongzhou was on duty at night. Therefore, after the official envoy asked, he focused on asking Hongzhou.

"When we invested in the store yesterday, it was probably Xu time..." Hongzhou thought about it, "It was not completely dark yet, we entered the store, booked a room, had dinner, and then all took a shower and came back Time, probably..."

"Your brother said this just now, you don't need to repeat it!" the official said very speechlessly.

Separate interrogation has the advantages and disadvantages of separate interrogation, but this kind of nonsense has to be heard repeatedly...

Hong Zhou blinked and looked at the two officials, "Then when should I start?"

Er Niang has said before that if you want to restore the case, you have to say everything in detail, so that you can help others solve the case. Maybe it's just a small, very small detail that is the key to solving the case.

At that time, when I heard Er Niang talk about it, Er Niang's eyes were shining brightly, with a special look.

At that time, I still thought that when I grow up, I will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for an internship! !

It is said that it is fun! !

I have treated Hongwang so well during this time, because I just want to have a good relationship with him.After all, Uncle Ten is in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and his family is not familiar with others, so it depends on Hongwang's recommendation! !

Of course, the best result is that Hongwang also goes to the Criminal Ministry for an internship.

"Let's talk about it after your brother fell asleep." Guanchajia said, anyway, the two little brothers also talked about the previous things.

"Oh." Hong Zhou has always been a good boy, he has no temper, since people think they don't need to know, he doesn't say anything.Then he talked about his own affairs, "After the eldest brother and the second brother fell asleep, I was on duty at night, because when we came from the capital, our luggage was stolen..."

When the two officials saw that Hongzhou was going to talk about a small matter again, they said again. "Your elder brother told us about this matter. Continue to talk about the movement outside, and you don't need to talk about your own affairs."

Help, any family will not be on duty at night when they go out, unless they are alone.Or they slept on the Datong bunk, or else.It must be on duty at night. There is no need to explain this. I have never seen such a chattering three brothers. I don't want to listen to it again.

Hongwang was the first to tell them, and when it was Hongli's turn, they naturally didn't want to listen anymore, after all.You said you two were sleeping, how can there be so much nonsense.But Hongli is a very persistent person.

In addition, among the three brothers, Hongli looks quite difficult to mess with. Not only is he tall and dark-skinned, but the muscles on his body make his clothes tight, and Hongli doesn't like being interrupted. If so, the two officials almost interrupted him.

He stared at them with wide eyes. Although Hongzhou knew that Hongli was not in danger, he was just a paper tiger, but the officials didn't know.

Too many times, people can only have Ren Hongli repeat Hongwang's words.

Of course, Hongli also talked about his hardships along the way, and specifically pointed out that the law and order outside Luoyang City was indeed not good. For example, there were bandits, and they were robbed before entering Luoyang City.

But now the two officials saw that Hong Zhou was a child with red face and white lips, and his aura was much weaker than that of Hong Li. How could Hong Zhou repeat the nonsense they knew, so let him talk about the topic.

The courtyard where Hong Zhou and the others live is the chrysanthemum courtyard among the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in the mid-range courtyard, and the location is fairly quiet.

The whole courtyard is concave, and there is a large lotus platform in the middle, made of stone tables and chairs, for guests to play chess, or make tea or something.

There are [-] rooms in the whole Chrysanthemum Courtyard, [-] rooms above and [-] rooms above and below.

Hong Zhou and the others went late, and lived on the first floor of the Chrysanthemum Courtyard, and it was still a room on the west side, by the stairs.

Although Hong Zhou's room is only one room away from the crime scene, the distance is still a bit far.

After all, this place is mid-range, and the room is still a bit big.

Moreover, people in ancient times were engaged in construction and so on, and they really didn’t have any shabby projects, especially in this kind of business. When people choose materials, they always choose high-quality ones to build houses, and the sound insulation effect is particularly good.

"Didn't you hear anything?" The officer asked, it's normal for others to not hear when they were sleeping, didn't he not sleep on night duty?

"Brother Cha, if I heard it, why wouldn't I go out to see it? If I went out to see it and opened the door, would the people next door hear me? Even if they didn't hear it, then my elder brother and I would naturally hear it. Yesterday It was quite quiet at night, but the person next door was snoring quite loudly, and it was so loud. Fortunately, I was on duty yesterday. If it wasn't for me, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep. How could there be such a loud noise? Like thunder..."

When the two officials heard this, they both rolled their eyes, what the hell, who said young people are not talkative?

The average age of the three people just now is less than 15 years old, and each is more verbose than the other. If it is an old lady in fifty, we will recognize it! !

What a f*** bad luck! !

After the two officials had finished questioning the three brothers, they asked the three of them to go to the yard with the person who had questioned them. Anyway, there were other officials watching and they were not allowed to whisper.

After all the questions were finished, they showed the written records to their superiors.

After their superiors read all the evidence and listened to Wu Zuo's on-site inspection, they took the three brothers and almost 23 other suspects away.

Basically take away everything that lives on the first floor.

Because according to everyone's confession, in the dead of night, no one heard the sound of footsteps, and the officials tried it. If you take the stairs, everyone knows that the wooden stairs will definitely make a sound.

Since he was awake, the people living by the stairs didn't hear him.That means no one has gone downstairs, and the suspect must have lived downstairs.

And the most important point is that most of the people living upstairs are relatives of the deceased, or couples live there.

You have someone who has a wife, how could you come downstairs to rape that girl, although that girl is a little bit pretty, but she is not so beautiful.

When the official who took the lead said this, people including Hongli naturally quit.People who will stay in this inn are either planning to go out to do business, or they have something to do.

Everyone was willing to stay on their own initiative just now because they didn't want to get into trouble. After all, who proposed to leave at that time.Naturally, people will be more suspicious.

But it’s different now, if you take it to the yamen, you’ll lose your skin if you don’t die, not to mention, the yamen is easy to enter and difficult to leave, so you will be charged as a suspect.If you don't pay hundreds of taels to thousands of taels of silver, they will let you out?

Go dream! !

So to be taken away.Immediately, the public sentiment surged.

"No, this thing is weird." Although Hongzhou couldn't tell what was weird, anyway, his intuition told him that something was wrong.

Although no one is willing to leave, the official messengers are all skilled, plus.Officials all carry knives, and the people don't fight with officials. The 26 people were taken back to Luoyang in a prison van.

Some Luoyang locals were released after calling their relatives as guarantees and paying a bail of 300 taels of silver, and the rest were only two or three kittens.

In fact, the three brothers originally had enough money, but unfortunately, in Luoyang City, they didn't know anyone, and in the current situation, no one believed them when they told them that their surname was Aixinjueluo.

Of course, they didn't want to say it out, otherwise, if it was spread to the capital in the future, how could these three brothers gain a foothold among their cousins.

After the official searched the three of them up and down, they threw the three of them in prison.

"I feel like they're going to make us take the blame." Hong Zhou and Hong Li said.

"Impossible, is there any law of the king?" Hongli is a typical Libra person, extremely demanding of fairness and justice, and he can't bear the sand in his eyes. Hearing Hongzhou's words, he was very angry.

"Then what should we do? Hong Zhou, do you know who the murderer is?" Hong Wang asked.

Hongwang was a little scared. Although the eighth master was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, none of the ninth master and the tenth master fourteen was a frequent visitor to his house. Therefore, he knew something about the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment. .

And many things in the cell are similar to those in the Ministry of Punishment, right?

Thinking of this, Hongwang's cold air rises from the soles of his feet. He has an official job to do, so it is quite normal to take the three brothers as the scapegoat.

Now, Hongwang only hoped that this case would be a breakthrough, and that the three of them would be sent to Beijing. Once they entered the capital, the three of them would rule the world.

Although it will lose face, but losing face is more important than losing life! !

Poor me, I am still a virgin now, how can I have such a poor person! !

If I had known, I would have followed my cousins ​​to spend time and drink, you said, if we went to the battlefield and died in battle, we would still be honored, but now, God, you are so fucking blind! !

"Who is the murderer, I don't know, but what I'm sure of is that the murderer must be someone the deceased knew." Hong Zhou said with certainty.

"How to say?" Hongli didn't understand why Hongzhou was so sure.

"First, it's normal not to hear the sound of going up and down the stairs. If he can punch and kick, he can jump down, it's not too difficult..."

Before Hongzhou finished speaking, Hongli slapped his thigh and said, "No, I can do it too. I can jump from the ground to the second floor when I was seven or eight years old, but I just need to use external force. I have learned a lot from it since I played it since childhood..."

Hongzhou and Hongwang were speechless after hearing this, let's pretend we didn't hear this, if the fourth uncle or Huang Mafa heard it, he would definitely go mad and learn from the tiger, where did you get your know-how? relative! !

"Hongli, listen to what Hongzhou has to say, don't interrupt, Hongzhou, you continue." Hongwang's peach blossom eyes rolled his eyes and Hongli said.

"Can I continue?" Hong Zhou asked Hongli pretending to be obedient, and continued after getting Hongli's affirmation, "Actually, if the murderer intends to kill, he can wrap his feet in a cloth, or the murderer is a woman! "

"No way, what's wrong with women??" Now Hongwang also felt a little unbelievable.

As the saying goes, j kill j kill, j first and then kill! !

"No one stipulates that j and killing must belong to the same person." Hong Zhou gave one.Your stupid eyes.

"You mean that j and killing are different people? Then the person who killed was a woman? But why do women kill them? Wait a minute, in the dead of night, j and killing are two separate groups. Why don't we know? It's so strange , there is no movement at all? You really didn't hear it?"

Hongwang suddenly thought of a question.

"Didn't I just say that there is no sound, this sound refers to the cry for help and that sound." Seeing that there is nothing wrong now, Hong Zhou thinks about it.Anyway, there are some things that I can't figure out, so I say it out, and everyone discusses it.

If you really want to die, you have to be a sensible ghost no matter what.

"Wait, did you hear that other voice?" Hongwang felt that he had grasped the key point of Hongzhou's words.

"Yes. The sound of the door opening." Hong Zhou said lightly.

In fact, thinking back and forth, I suddenly felt that I understood something, but I'm not sure, it's mainly because I'm away from home, so there's no need to be too nosy.

And now.Hong Zhou suddenly felt that he was lucky not to say something, otherwise.I and others were not locked up, but directly tortured, then put into death row, and then poured arsenic, saying that the three of them committed suicide in fear of crime.

They are smart, and they are not stupid themselves, when they saw the master of the yamen.I said a few words in Manchu.

I don't know if that master is a smart person, but if it's as Er Niang said.If the master in the yamen is the legendary Shaoxing master, then, you can wait for someone by yourself or you can wait for Er Niang's people to come to rescue the soldiers.

However, Er Niang's people are so stupid, she has been imprisoned in the Yamen for a long time, but she never came in to save her, it's really useless! !

"The sound of the door opening, no wonder, you said that the girl knew the murderer." Hongli held his chin and said, "Well, why did the murderer want to kill? I still know him. This is another question."

"Of course it's because that girl pissed her off..." Hongwang replied casually, "Hongzhou, when you said the door was opened, should you kill him first?"

Hongwang suddenly felt that this question was very important.

If it is to kill first and then kill, I think it is better, if it is to kill first and then kill, uh, well, with such a heavy mouth, I can only say that I am too convinced! ! !

"Mr. j!" Hong Zhou smiled.

On the seventh day after Hong Zhou and the others were imprisoned, Thirteenth Master and the people sent by Ning Hua met.

After getting the answer that day, the thirteenth master went to the fourth master's house. The fourth master naturally sent his own people to bring the unfilial son back.

Thirteen saw that there was nothing serious about him in Beijing, mainly because Kangxi didn't send him anything, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to bring the three children back. After all, he could see that there were some things that Seventh Sister-in-law didn't want others to know .

Fourth master thought about it, and thought it was okay, so he entered the palace with Thirteen.

After requesting the order, Shisan took his entourage and the people from Si Ye's residence and set off that night.

Originally, Thirteenth Master followed Ning Hua's instructions and Hong Zhou's code to follow outside Luoyang City, and even went to the inn.

They thought that the three of them were going to the northwest, so they walked along the official road, but they didn't see Hong Zhou's secret signal, and because they heard that a murder case had happened in the inn, they turned back and ordered someone to investigate Inquire carefully.

After inquiring, it was discovered that the three of Hongli were also arrested as murderers.

Whether Hongli or Shisan came out, it was all in the dark. Of course, Thirteenth Master didn't dare to go to the government office openly, so he went directly to Jiuye's shop.

Thirteen basically inquired about everything, but to get Hongli and the others out, he had to borrow Brother Nine's power.

Compared with Jiangnan's influence in the capital, Jiuye's influence in the northwest has only been developed in recent years, and he didn't invest much resources in the past.

However, it is not difficult to get the three of them out. After all, everyone knows that the number one or number two in Luoyang Mansion, one greedy for money and one lustful, are nothing at all.

As long as the money is sufficient, it is not difficult to release people.

Because, in front of Lord Thirteen, the shopkeeper of Shiweizhai patted his chest and said harshly that he would definitely bring the three of them out safely.

After all, the shopkeeper naturally received a letter from the capital a few days ago, and it was a letter written by Lord Jiu, so the shopkeeper naturally understood that if he could find the son of Hongwang, his future would definitely be very bright.

Master Jiu loved this nephew no less than his own son.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper went confidently with the banknote, but returned frustrated.

"What, repeat murderer, still jerk?" Shisan has heard of it, but please, what are the identities of the three brothers, if they are really lustful people, will they come to the northwest?

What kind of beauties are there in the capital? ? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
