Concubine

Chapter 120
Yang Qiuchi was a little complacent. It seems that he is really a sweet potato. President Bai Qian offered to marry his daughter to him. .Now Hao Yuanwai is also like this, hehe, it's strange, I don't think he is so great, why is he so popular with the people.

However, this Hao Yuanwai is a businessman. The Ming Dynasty emphasized agriculture over business. Although a businessman is rich, his social status is relatively low. As for himself, although the special envoy of Jin Yiwei Commander and Special Envoy can’t say it now and others don’t know it, just now He said that he is a big landlord who owns all the real estate and land properties of Mr. He in Hejia Village, and he is also the director of the Guangde County Detention Center (although he is only hired), so although his money may not be as good as that of the Hao family, his social status is higher than theirs. Her daughter married her as a concubine, and it was not a loss to her.Besides, this Hao Qian was considered an old girl in the Ming Dynasty, if she didn't marry again, she wouldn't be able to get married.

Taking a concubine is not like marrying a wife. It does not require the order of the parents or the words of the matchmaker. "Concubines can be bought and sold." Taking a concubine is the same as buying things. The buyer and the seller are willing, so in theory there is no need to ask Yang's mother for advice.However, if they don't ask for their opinions, Yang Qiuchi has no idea, especially Feng Xiaoxue, if he takes a little wife home without asking her opinions, although she will definitely not say anything, but he will feel embarrassed.

Before Yang Qiuchi could speak, Hao Yifeng had guessed what Yang Qiuchi was thinking, and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, does he want to go back and discuss with Lingci and sister-in-law? That's what it should be." Sighing, he said, "It's a pity , the younger brother's funeral is not yet over, otherwise, the younger brother's marriage and the elder brother's marriage will be held together, wouldn't it be lively!"

What?Yang Qiuchi seemed to have been hit on the head, Hao Yifeng wanted to have a wedding with him?In other words, he wants to marry Song Qing?Doesn't he know that Song Qing is on good terms with herself?No, the blind man could see the intimacy between Song Qing and herself last night, so what does he mean?Changing generals?I said how could such a good thing happen like this, the Hao Yifeng family must have seen that Song Qing liked her, but she didn't dare to confront her openly, so she came up with this trick, exchanging her sister for her daughter-in-law, that's what Hao Yifeng said just now It's already obvious: I married my sister to you as my concubine, so don't come and grab my wife.

I rely on!What has become of this?a deal?Yang Qiuchi's face changed.Although Hao Qian is indeed very good, being her own concubine is not a disadvantage to her at all, but Song Qing fell in love with her and has already established a relationship, how can she exchange it with feelings?Although Song Qing is the daughter of an official, their family may not be willing to marry Song Qing to her as a concubine, but that is another matter.

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, it is good that Hao Qian can marry (although it is too much to bring the daughter and daughter-in-law of the Hao family together), but it is God's will if he can't marry, and he must not trade his feelings, let alone Hao Qian, just Neither can Chang'e in the sky! ——Thinking about it again, if Chang'e from the Heavenly Palace really came down to earth, why not do it?It's something to think about.Forget it, what do you want to do?Chang'e didn't exist at all, so how could she come down to earth.

Hao Yifeng's family saw that Yang Qiuchi's face was cloudy and uncertain, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Yang Qiuchi's head turned quickly, and he figured out all the pros and cons in a moment.This deal is definitely out of the question, but it's not good to refuse in person, that girl's face is so ugly.Looking at the situation now, Song Qing has to go back as soon as possible to get Song Qing to retire, so as not to have long nights and dreams.However, now that they are pretending to be deaf and dumb, they can't reveal their relationship with Song Qing, so as not to embarrass everyone, and they will naturally know when they divorce.Once this marriage is withdrawn, the Hao family will definitely not marry their daughter to him, so the marriage will naturally be rejected.

Thinking of this, Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Hao, for your love. I am flattered, but my mother is still here. I have to go back and report this matter to my mother first, and get her old man's permission. In addition, I have to ask the poor Inside."

Hao Yuanwai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Of course, of course. I will just wait for the good news!"

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, Song Qing likes her so much, divorce is certain, and the only thing you are waiting for is the "good news" of divorce.

At this time, Hao Qian returned to her seat with small steps supported by her maid. She didn't know if she had drunk sour plum soup, but her face was even redder than before entering, she was shy.Could it be that they eavesdropped on their conversation from behind?Thinking of rejecting their family's marriage proposal, Yang Qiuchi felt a little guilty.

When the banquet ended, it was already afternoon.Hao Qian's painting has been framed.Yang Qiuchi and Long Zixu were about to bid farewell and leave when a family member hurried into the door and reported that someone from the magistrate's yamen told Yang Qiuchi to go back quickly because there was something urgent.

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he and Long Zixu hurried back to the Yamen.

Zhou Zhifu and others were already waiting there and told Yang Qiuchi that in an adobe house in the slums of Xicheng, the body of Tu Laosi was found, which was killed by someone, and there was also a woman's body.

Another murder?Yang Qiuchi's heart was half cold, and he rushed to the scene immediately.

The scene where Tu Lao Si was killed was in a small courtyard in a poor area in the west of the city.The policemen and slaves of Ningguo Mansion's Yamen have already sealed off the small courtyard, and many ordinary people from nearby to watch the excitement have come outside.Several policemen are questioning the neighbors.

The person in charge of security at the scene was the head catcher who admired Yang Qiuchi last night.Seeing Zhou Zhifu, Yang Qiuchi and others coming, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute.Said: "Tu Lao Si and a woman died in the back room. Both of them were stabbed in the heart. They are already dead. It has been found out that the dead woman was named Xu, 45 years old, and she turned out to be from the Zuiying building. Later, when I got older, I was kicked out by the bustard. I had no other choice, so I rented this house to pick up customers. I didn’t have any good customers, so I picked up some traffickers and pawns to earn a little money to survive. The fourth old man probably came here too. Whoring her here, I didn't expect the two of them to die together."

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Have you investigated the surrounding neighbors?"

"The investigation is almost done."

"Did you ask when was the last time you saw this woman?"

"I asked. It was the afternoon before yesterday. The neighbor said that she was chatting with her neighbors while cleaning the soles of her shoes at the door. Later, she asked her neighbors to borrow rice. But I didn't see her come out all day yesterday. The door was also closed. .The neighbors knew she did this, so no one knocked on the door to check."

"Did the neighbors hear any abnormal noises or calls for help?" Yang Qiuchi looked around, and the neighbor's houses were next to each other. Although they were separated by the low wall of the yard, they were relatively close. Loud noise should be heard.

The head hunter said, "We asked, and the neighbors on both sides said they didn't hear any special noise, let alone a call."

"Ask them if they've seen any suspicious-looking strangers?"

"I also asked about this, but they all said no," the head catcher said sympathetically, "The neighbor also said that Mrs. Xu is old and has been doing this kind of business for many years, and her appearance and body are not as good as before. So, after a few days It's hard to have a guest, but this old man surnamed Tu comes here often, and the neighbors know him."

Yang Qiuchi nodded, suddenly remembered the scar on the temporal bone on the right side of the white bone, and said, "Go and ask, is this Tu Laosi left-handed? "

The head catcher was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Yang Qiuchi suddenly thought of asking this, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he agreed and ran over to ask.After a while, he came back and said, "Master Yang, you are really amazing. This old man Tu is left-handed, and several neighbors have proved it."

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, what kind of god is this? This is judged from the position of the scar on Jin Keying's body.

Tu Lao Si is left-handed, which is consistent with the autopsy. Liu Biao also proved that the IOU was given to Tu Lao Si by Liu Biao at that time. In this way, Tu Lao Si probably killed Jin Keying and buried his body in the vegetable field people.Unfortunately, he is now dead.Why did he kill Jin Keying, and whether there is someone behind the scenes, these are now impossible to check.

How could the real murderer behind this scene know that we are looking for Tu Lao Si?Yang Qiuchi immediately understood that this large group of people were running wildly in Ningguo Mansion, looking for clues to the murderer of Jin Keying, making a scene in Zuiyinglou, even Wang Tongzhi was implicated and killed by his younger brother, these things I'm afraid it has already spread throughout the entire Ningguo Mansion.The real culprit behind the scenes must also know, afraid to follow the clues to find him, so he killed the murderer Tu Laosi first to silence him.

Yang Qiuchi asked the headhunter again: "Who discovered it first?"

Before the head catcher could speak, an old man following behind the head catcher said, "My lord, it was the old man who discovered it first."

The old man looked about five or sixty years old, his face was wrinkled, and he was wearing a crumpled green cloth short shirt, which was dirty. A cloth strip of indistinguishable color was tied around his waist, and a piece of soil was inserted diagonally. Dry pipe with ceramic mouth.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Tell me what happened."

"Yes, sir," the old man replied respectfully, "yesterday I worked part-time for Yuelai Restaurant for a day, and I got a few dongs of money. I had some money left besides buying rice. I went out to drink some wine at noon today, and then I'm going to come to Xu's to have fun, alas~! My wife died long ago, so I'm all alone."

"As soon as I knocked on the door, I found that the door was not closed. I opened the door and went in. I saw two people had died on the kang. I ran out quickly. Fortunately, at this age, I have seen many people who live and die. How panicked, I immediately reported the crime to Li Zheng. Afterwards, these fast men came.”

After the inquiry, it's time to conduct a site survey.Zhou Zhifu said: "Young Master Yang, please come and investigate the scene of this murder case. After you have inspected the corpse, I will leave it to you for records."

"Obey!" Yang Qiuchi bowed.

Yang Qiuchi walked to the door of the room and took a general look at it. This is an adobe bungalow similar to his old house, with two rooms inside and outside, with a passage in the middle.

Take a closer look at the door first.This is a double door, the paint on the door is mottled, very dilapidated.The latch inside hung askew.After memorizing the position of the latch, Yang Qiuchi gently removed the latch and looked carefully. On the side of the latch facing the outside of the gate, there were several small rhombus-shaped eyes that caught Yang Qiuchi's attention. These small eyes The distance between the holes is roughly equal, and they are picked out towards the side where the bolt fell. The traces of the small eyes are clear, and the time left should not be long.

Yang Qiuchi closed the two doors gently again, observed for a while, and found that the two doors were not closed tightly, and there was a gap. Based on the analysis of the situation just now, the murderer may have inserted a sharp object into the door gap, pulled the latch inside, and then Sneaked into the room to commit murder.

Yang Qiuchi was not in a hurry to enter the room. He squatted down at the door and observed the ground carefully. The light in the room was very dim, and he couldn't see clearly. There were a few scattered footprints on the ground, but they were very unclear, vaguely visible. .

It would be great if the footprint electrostatic extractor on your truck was not smashed. This instrument is very effective for finding colorless footprints on dust-added or de-layered planes. It can search a large area on the spot and quickly find and extract footprints.After the footprints are extracted, the old footprints belonging to the deceased, the old man who reported the crime, and the old footprints that obviously do not belong to the crime period can be discharged, and the suspect's footprints can be found.

Carefully bypassing the footprints in the outer room, came to the passageway in the inner room, and took a quick look inside. Next to the window was an earthen kang. The body was covered in blood, there was a pool of blood on the ground, and there were dots of blood splatters.There were obvious wiping marks on the wall and the drooping quilt beside the Kang.

Yang Qiuchi squatted down and checked the ground for traces, and soon found several scattered shoe prints, but they were also very vague. Yang Qiuchi carefully avoided these shoe prints, stood by the kang, and observed the two corpse.

The dead were a man and a woman. The man should be Tu Lao Si, about 60 years old, lying on his back on the side of the bed, with one hand under the edge of the bed, his lower body was still under the quilt, his skinny body was naked, There was a trauma to the heart area of ​​the chest.

I found a ruler for measurement. The length of the wound was [-] inches. It was short and spindle-shaped.Judging from this, it was a sharp wound and the murder weapon was a single-edged knife.Judging from the inconspicuous obtuse angle, the back of the stabbing device is not thick. Judging from the length of the wound, the blade part of the murder weapon is relatively narrow, and it is likely to be a short, narrow and relatively thin dagger or other murder weapon.

Yang Qiuchi found a long thin stick and carefully inserted it into the wound. After reaching the end, he slowly pulled it out and measured it with a ruler. The length was six inches. Judging from the depth, it had penetrated into the chest cavity.

Although no autopsy was performed, it is impossible to accurately determine whether the heart was stabbed, but from the location of the wound and the large pool of blood under Tu Laosi's body, it can be judged that the heart should be stabbed.Because only stabbing the heart, aorta, etc., causing acute blood loss, can a blood pool of this size be formed.
