Concubine

Chapter 377 The White Goose Guarding the Cubs (Two additional chapters for monthly tickets)
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, turned back hastily, and asked, "Please tell me, old man!"

"I heard that during that time, Mrs. Wei, the mother of Shuiguzi, whom Peng Si had been entangled with, had disputes with their mother and son. They lived on the hillside above Tianshui Well."

Yang Qiuchi asked curiously: "Who is this Shuiguzi?"

"Shui Guzi is a domestic slave of Mrs. Peng's village. His mother washes clothes for others to make a living."

Song Yun'er suddenly interjected: "I just remembered, brother, this Shuiguzi should be the one I mentioned to you last time, the boy who was specially playing with the cub... the boy who played with the young master Peng Jiafu was tied to the cow by Peng Jiafu. The boy who put a rope around his neck and made him crawl on the ground. His mother is Wei Shi—didn’t they go to Pipa Rock to see the fairies?”

Li Zheng, who was behind him, said: "The fairies meeting ended yesterday, they should have rushed back last night."

Yang Qiuchi also remembered that Song Yun'er had told her about this matter, so after looking around, the suspect was actually beside her.The mother and daughter had a dispute with Peng Si, and they lived near the place where Peng Si was stoned. Is there any connection between the two?Yang Qiuchi decided to check it out.

After thanking the old doctor, Yang Qiuchi asked Li Zheng to take them to the alley that old doctor Peng mentioned.Indeed, this place is relatively secluded, and any corner is convenient for concealed attacks. There is no better place to sneak attack than this.It seems that from the choice of this position alone, it can be judged that this is premeditated.

Walking along this alley, there are low wooden houses in the distance. Compared with the bustling Qingshui Street and Huilong Street in Enyang Town, it is obvious that this is a slum.This made Yang Qiuchi involuntarily think of the poor home he returned to with Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue when he traveled through time.

It's been almost a year since I left my mother and Xiaoxue, it's time to go home and have a look.Yang Qiuchi was thinking in his heart that it was almost time for Zhihui and Ruobing's child to be born.Thinking of his child who is about to come into this world, infinite tenderness rose in Yang Qiuchi's heart.

Li was leading them through the potholed dirt road, around the winding alleys with all kinds of strange smells, and finally came to a small courtyard.The yard is surrounded by a fence made of thorns half a person's height. It is not big, but it is neat.

Lizheng bowed his waist and said to Yang Qiuchi: "My lord, we are here. This is the home of Shuiguzi, mother and son." Standing at the gate of the thorns, he shouted loudly: "Hello! Is anyone home? The lord is here." !"

There was no answer in the room.Li Zheng pushed the courtyard door and walked in, only to find that the door was locked.

Li Zheng came out with a smile on his face and said: "Master, their mother and son are not here, Shui Guzi must be in Peng's village, his mother may have gone out to do laundry."

Yang Qiuchi nodded and said, "Let's go, go directly to Pengjiazhuang to find Shuiguzi to understand the situation."

The group returned to Pengjiazhuang.This Water Guzi was originally a playmate with Peng Jiafu, but now that Peng Jiafu is missing, he is also unemployed, but the whole Peng family has become a mess, and they are still blindly looking for the young master, and no one has given him water. Guzi assigns new things, so he follows everyone to find them.

Yang Qiuchi told Peng Hexi to send someone to retrieve Shui Guzi and bring him to his residence.

Not long after, Water Guzi was brought.Kneel down and kowtow.

Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yun'er, saw her nodding, and confirmed that it was the Shui Guzi who was kicked and beaten by Peng Jiafu. Looking carefully, he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, half a head taller than other children of the same age, and also very strong. , tough, with some rough beard stubble growing on the corner of his mouth, he already has the appearance of an adult man.

Yang Qiuchi's eyes fell on Shui Guzi's feet, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly.

"What's your name?" Yang Qiuchi asked kindly.

"In terms of adults, the younger one is called 'Shuiguzi'" The child was not timid at all, and he didn't panic when he spoke.

"Do you know Peng Si?"

Shui Guzi's body shook slightly, and then he said, "I know."

Shui Guzi's reaction was in Yang Qiuchi's eyes, and the suspicion in his heart gradually became clear, and he asked, "Has he ever been to your house?"

Shui Guzi shook his head.

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "But I heard people say that he often came to your house and harassed your mother, right? Don't be afraid, I know that Peng Si is not a good guy, you have to tell the truth , this master will handle it according to the situation."

Shui Guzi thought for a while, but still shook his head and didn't speak.

Yang Qiuchi's voice became a bit cold: "It's wrong for you to do this. My master has already found out that this Peng Si has indeed been to your house, and more than once, why don't you admit it?"

Shui Guzi raised his head slightly, glanced at Yang Qiuchi, then quickly lowered his head, still not speaking.

"If you don't cooperate, I won't be able to help you." Yang Qiuchi said, ordering Lizheng to send someone to bring Shuiguzi's mother home immediately, and he will search Shuiguzi's house.

In ancient times, being an official and lord had this advantage. If you want to search someone's house, you can just say it. You don't need a search warrant.

Holding the silent Shui Guzi, he came to Shui Guzi's home in the poor area above Tianshui Well.Shui Guzi's mother Wei Shi has been found by Li Zheng, and she is waiting at the door of the house.

I saw a large group of policemen coming quickly with Shui Guzi, and there was a young official in official robes among them.Wei rushed forward and knelt down: "Master, my son is still young and doesn't understand anything, please don't make things difficult for him, just ask me if you have anything."

"Mother~!" Shui Guzi took a step forward and also knelt beside Wei Shi.Wei Shi put his arms around Shui Guzi's neck, his words choked up.

Yang Qiuchi took a closer look at this Wei family, and couldn't help being a little startled. Seeing that she was in her 30s, although her face was full of hard work, she was quite beautiful, and her body was plump and strong. In layman's terms, she was very sensual.No wonder that dead ghost Peng Si coveted her and harassed her several times.

Yang Qiuchi ignored them, went directly into the room, and looked around, only two simple cabins with simple furnishings.There are two beds inside and outside, and the outside room is obviously lived by Shui Guzi.

He squatted down and checked under the bed, but there were no shoes.He came out and said, "Shui Guzi, do you have any other shoes besides those on your feet?"

Shui Guzi shook his head.It seems that the mother and son live in poverty, except for the clothes, shoes and socks on their bodies, they don't even have a change of clothes.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Take off your shoes."

Shui Guzi didn't know why Yang Qiuchi asked him to take off his shoes, but the Elder Master had orders, how could he not obey.

Shui Guzi took off his shoes, and a smell of sweat rushed up, making him want to vomit.A catcher pinched his nose and hooked the shoe with two fingers and brought it to Yang Qiuchi.Yang Qiuchi smiled, this smell is nothing to him.He reached out to take it, looked back and forth, and his eyes lit up.

The traces of this pair of shoes were so obvious that he could tell without comparison that the suspicious footprints found next to Peng Si's body at the dock were left by these shoes.

Yang Qiuchi said to Shui Guzi: "The night Peng Si died, you went to Peng Si's body, right?"

Shui Guzi turned pale, shook his head desperately, and looked at Yang Qiuchi in fear, as if he was a devil who could see through people's hearts.

That Wei family screamed in horror, hugged her son tightly, looked at Yang Qiuchi and said: "Master, my son doesn't have one, she hasn't been there."

Yang Qiuchi raised the pair of worn shoes in his hand: "People can lie, but evidence can't lie. The footprints of your son's shoes are exactly the same as those of the child found next to Peng Si's body."

"People's footprints are the same, how can they be different?" Wei said, holding Shui Guzi tightly.

"Of course it's different." Yang Qiuchi didn't answer his question directly, but instead said: "You are very kind to your son, and you try to feed him, so his nutrition can still keep up, and he grows up very fast. , although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is already taller than you."

Listening to Yang Qiuchi's praise of his son, Mrs. Wei had a happy smile on her face, stretched out her hand and pinched his son's strong shoulders involuntarily, feeling that his son was indeed healthy, and his eyes were full of kindness.

"Because he's tall, he's got a bias on the shoe due to his unstable center of gravity, and over time, the outside of the shoe wears out faster than the inside. This is evident in your son's shoes. "Yang Qiuchi turned the sole of the shoe over, pointed to the outer side of the front of the shoe that had been rubbed very thinly, and showed it to their mother and son.

Shui Guzi's face turned even paler.Wei looked at it carefully, but still didn't understand: "Then all children his age are like this."

"It's different." Yang Qiuchi was very patient, "The friction marks on each child's shoe prints can't be exactly the same, especially for handmade shoes like yours, the patterns of the soles are different, and this kind of The unique and unique friction traces can explain the problem even more."

Yang Qiuchi tried his best to explain it to her in layman's terms, but he still unknowingly used special terms such as trace and uniqueness for physical evidence identification.

Wei Shi seemed to have foreseen the coming crisis, she hugged her child tightly like a vigilant white goose, stared at Yang Qiuchi, and asked, "So what?"

Li Zheng shouted: "Bold and cunning woman, she is getting more and more presumptuous, why are you talking to the old man like that! You don't want to kill yourself?"
