Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 183: Something Strange (3)
Mo Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead. In winter, there was a charcoal basin in the back hall, but she didn't feel any warmth. When she got nervous, her head broke out in cold sweat.What the village chief said was impartial and should be the truth, but is all this too coincidental?

It happened that that road was the only way for the villagers to come back from drinking, and it happened to be caught at that time.The man is from Yang Xiaohua's natal village, and among the three, there seems to be no connection.

It would make sense to say that Yang Xiaohua committed herself to Popi and wanted money to support her natal family, but Popi is poor and white, and I heard that he is used to taking advantage of women.

"No, absolutely nothing, it's just that the impact of this matter is too extensive, and we have nothing to do."

The village chief waved his hand and sighed. At first, he wanted Yang Xiaohua to commit suicide, but for some reason, she seemed to be resisting and went crazy, so one night, Li Dazhuang came to the door and said that he wanted to give Yang Xiaohua a hand. Xiaohua Shentang, her brother Yang Damin also agreed to this point.

"Who saw it when it was sinking into the pond?"

The more Wei Zhifu listened, the more something was wrong, and he was keenly aware that there might be a problem.The deceased, Yang Xiaohua, had no obvious wounds on her body, so it is not clear whether she died because of Shentang. "A few villagers in our Lijia Village, Yang Xiaohua was gagged by Li Dazhuang with a handkerchief."

No one could bear to hear the screams, so the villagers were silent. Going out during the day was not good, and everyone chose the night. He had sympathy for Li Dazhuang, but he didn't say anything.

There are doubts everywhere, if Mo Yan's guess is correct, Yang Xiaohua was already dead at that time, and she was definitely murdered, otherwise why would Li Dazhuang bother to cover it up?The village head said that after the incident, Yang Xiaohua not only did not repent, but went crazy, why?There must be something hidden in it.

"Impossible, if Xiaohua is really sorry for you, Li Dazhuang, she will definitely commit suicide. I still don't understand her temper?"

The old woman stood up and knelt down with a plop. There were no tears in her eyes, which made everyone look even more unbearable.

"Li Dazhuang, I asked the officials to bring your family here. Why don't you see your two daughters?"

Wei Zhifu had a dry mouth, took a sip of tea, and asked in a deep voice.Li Dazhuang's continuation is not a good match at first glance, and the two poor children left by Yang Xiaohua may suffer in the future.

"Those two losers..."

When Zhou heard the words, there was a hint of guilt in her eyes. She realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately made up for it, "I'm... at home looking after the house."

"That's right, washing and cooking, isn't that the case for all peasant kids."

Li Dazhuang nodded, echoing her mother's words.

The people outside the hall heard the whole story, and although they felt that the Li family was cruel, it was reasonable.At this time, sons are preferred to daughters, and the daughters who are raised will belong to other people in the future. Therefore, the daughters of ordinary families start working from an early age and take care of younger siblings, and the children of poor people are in charge of the family early.

"Come on, go to Shanghe Village and bring Li Dazhuang's two daughters to the lobby."

According to the introduction of the village head, Li Dazhuang's two daughters are nine years old and the other is seven years old. They are already very sensible. Occasionally, I carry a big tub to wash clothes by the river.

Yang Xiaohua was better when she was alive, the mother and daughter took care of the big family, now that Yang Xiaohua is dead, the two daughters are not easy, they are often beaten and scolded by the stepmother, and they become thinner and weaker, even the villagers can't bear it.

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't seen Da Ya Er Ya for a while."

The villagers in Shanghe Village suddenly realized that when Xiaohua was just sinking into the pond, they often saw Erya washing clothes by the river, with a big basin full, Erya was only seven years old, thin and small, holding the wooden basin After walking a few steps, the villagers felt sorry for the two motherless children, and would occasionally help them out, fearing that their stepmother would see them, and they would definitely be beaten when they returned home.

"I didn't see it. Our big ya and ya are capable of doing it. We go out to collect firewood every day."

As soon as Zhou heard this, she immediately became angry, turned her head and glared at the talkative one, and shouted in the lobby.The more she behaved like this, the prefect Wei felt that something was wrong, there must be something tricky about it.

"My lord, it's better not to come out when the two girls are at home. It's not a good thing for a mother with such a reputation."

Li Dazhuang had a grief-stricken look on his face, as if he was thinking about his daughter, but the prefect of Wei didn't accept that at all. He waved at the yamen servants below, "Go right away!"

The members of the Li family saw that the prefect of Wei was going to get serious. Old man Li was scared out of his wits first, and fell to his knees with a plop, while Mrs. Zhou pinched him hard, with a look of resentment on his face.

The villagers from Shanghe Village didn't understand what Li Dazhuang was doing. Thinking that they hadn't seen the two girls recently, they understood eight points in their hearts.Before, I hated my own family for cutting off the incense. Yang Xiaohua gave birth to two maids. Old man Li and Mrs. Zhou were going crazy thinking about their grandson. Now that a bride came to the house, who would care about those two maids? They were probably sold. .

"My lord, the Li family doesn't want my two hard-working granddaughters. I want them. Even if I eat bran and swallow vegetables, I will raise them up so that Xiaohua can go away with peace of mind."

Yang Xiaohua's mother also knelt on the ground, she had already had such an idea, and just brought it up at this time, hoping that the prefect of Wei could make a decision for her.

"Then there's no need. You are too poor to eat, and your daughter subsidizes your mother's family. All you eat is rice from our Li family."

Li Dazhuang dismissed it, with a mocking look on his face, "You have taught Yang to be like that, how can my two daughters be okay?"

In a word, the old woman was completely angered. She almost lost her anger, but she was quick-eyed and handed over a cup of hot tea. They pitied the old woman from the bottom of their hearts. What a fate it was. Shen Tang, the only son is not filial, not to mention supporting the elderly, making him like an enemy, leaving her alone. "Li Dazhuang, don't spout blood. My daughter was killed by you. People are doing it, and the sky is watching. I believe there is justice in this world!"

The old woman coughed violently and seemed to be in great pain.Mo Yan was in the back hall, heartbroken. She could do an autopsy to explain the cause of Yang Xiaohua's death, but who would believe her?She wanted to stand out, but she didn't have the ability, so she could only watch helplessly.

With years of experience, Mo Yan can be sure that Li Dazhuang is lying, and whether Yang Xiaohua was gagged or not is very simple, as long as there are traces of cloth towels left in her mouth, it is enough, but this cannot be used as evidence.

Seeing that there was another quarrel in the courtroom, Mo Yan called Mo Bing and whispered something in her ear, Mo Bing nodded, turned and left.

Wei Zi puffed up, because her father Wei Zhifu was going to the hall to ask questions, so she didn't dare to shout loudly, she could only mutter in a low voice, Mo Yan listened for a while, she was cursing the Li family.

"Theoretically speaking, the identification of the dead body needs to be confirmed by the whole family."

The prefect of Wei tried to reason with the Li family at first, but in the end, Li Dazhuang’s mother Zhou jumped out again. The implication was that the magistrate was too cruel and unreasonable, and the corpse had already started to rot. Even an adult would have nightmares if he saw it, let alone how old he was. My child, please prefect Wei not to embarrass the two girls.

"Difficult?"

The prefect of Wei was really angry at this, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't continue to ask, he just said that today's case will be heard here, and when the case is finalized tomorrow, everyone is not allowed to leave Luzhou City, and the place to stay tonight will be arranged by the Yamen.Li Dazhuang's family wanted to raise an objection, but they were suppressed by the village head. The group left silently, leaving only Yang Xiaohua's old lady kneeling on the spot. Yang Xiaohua Zhao Xue.

"Don't worry, just give me a day."

As the official of the parents of Luzhou City, the prefect of Wei does not need to be so polite to ordinary people.But everyone has a mother who can feel this kind of heartache. Moreover, the case has found a breakthrough. When it enters the bottleneck period, it is better to find the truth from another angle.

Wei Zhifu and Mo Yan had the same ideas. She asked Mo Bing for help, and she also went to Shanghe Village to investigate the situation. If she guessed correctly, Li Daya and Li Erya are the key to solving the case, and that wild man , she could sense that, breaking through the thick fog, the truth was ahead.

What happened today made Wei Zixian very sad. Mo Yan wanted to make a routine and asked about the whereabouts of the ginseng wine, but felt that the timing was wrong, so she took the initiative to leave and returned to the inn.

Mo Xiang accompanied her cousin Mo Yu to wander around the market, and gained a lot, all of which were some unremarkable gadgets.When going out this time, Mo Yan gave the servant girl Mo Xiang some broken silver and bank notes, and told her not to let her cousin spend the money.

In the next afternoon, the sky suddenly changed, and the north wind howled, making the branches and window lattices rattle. Mo Yan felt a little cold, so she asked the staff to bring a charcoal basin. The whole afternoon of hearings made her exhausted. Yan fell directly on the bed in the bedroom, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Miss, why isn't Mo Bing here? I even bought her a silk flower."

Mo Xiang happily took out her treasure. Mo Bing usually only uses a wooden hairpin, which is too plain, and I don’t know. She thought her young lady was stingy. She saw a light blue silk flower and thought it matched Mo Bing. Just bought it.

"Well, she's out to do something and will be back later."

Mo Yan's mind was full of cases, and when she closed her eyes, she saw Yang Xiaohua's body in front of her. She waved at Mo Xiang wearily, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
