after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 436 The old case in the capital (2)

Chapter 436 The old case in the capital (2)

Qing Xing and Qi'er couldn't answer Lin Yuesha's question. At that time, there were all kinds of rumors in the government, but the other party was a lady from an official family. For the sake of reputation, Master Lin didn't allow anyone to discuss it, so many people only knew about it. I don't know the second thing, I thought only seven people died.

"This old slave knows that an old sister of this old slave is working as a nun next to this young lady."

The lady who died was named Cheng Dieyi, the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the capital.Miss Cheng was going to get married, so she went to the embroidery workshop to try on wedding clothes, but on the way back she suddenly wanted to go to incense for some reason.

"That day, the old slave, that old sister, also went with Miss Cheng."

In the middle of offering incense, Miss Cheng suddenly said that she wanted to go alone to ask for the lottery, so that the maids and women would not be allowed to follow.

On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the temples in the capital were overcrowded. Miss Cheng wanted to ask for an autograph, but her foster nun thought she was asking for a marriage.

Being in the temple together, nothing could go wrong.But everything happened again.

"The old slave, the old sister, really didn't care too much, after all, it was the same in the past."

Mother Fang sighed, unexpectedly, Cheng Dieyi did not come back after waiting for an hour, and now the maid and mother-in-law are a little anxious.

At that time, three red-clothed women in the capital had their hearts taken out, and the servants immediately had bad associations.

But according to common sense, to kill someone must find a clean place with few people. It is the first day of the lunar new year, and the temples are crowded with people, which is not conducive to committing crimes.Another one, seeing blood in front of the Buddha, I'm afraid I don't want to go to hell after death.

The common people have such inherent thoughts, so Cheng Dieyi was going to offer incense to ask for a lottery. The maidservant didn't care too much, but waited in the meditation room.

"The old slave, the old sister, suspected that Miss Cheng had eloped with someone, and saw that she didn't take anything with her."

In short, I thought about the reasons for Cheng Dieyi's disappearance, playing, elopement, and meeting acquaintances, but I didn't expect Cheng Dieyi to be killed.

Just like this until the time to light the lamp at night, the maids and women finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the monks in the temple for help, and finally found Cheng Dieyi's body on the north slope.

"The old slave, the old sister, was so frightened that she passed out."

The scene was horrible, just like the woman in red who was killed, she only cut her heart out, the knife was sharp, she was not ravaged, and she didn't know the murderer's motive at all.

"Then why did Miss Cheng have her eyes gouged out?"

Lin Yuesha couldn't figure it out, if an acquaintance commits a crime, he won't be revealed even if he is dead, and there is no need to do anything extra.

"The old slave doesn't know either."

Anyway, for a long period of time, there were almost no marriages in the capital, and the woman who was going to marry postponed the date of marriage in order not to wear red clothes.

"Later, Master Lin caught the murderer, who is the murderer?"

From Lin Yuesha's point of view, the murderer may not be alone. She has read a book that when a serial murder occurs, someone always imitates the crime and fishes in troubled waters.

However, everything is hearsay, and Lin Yuesha just listened to it.

"It's a pig butcher, and the butcher admitted it."

It is said that when the butcher was looking for his next target, he was caught by someone who was ambushing him by Mr. Lin.

The butcher confessed to his crime again, and the case was solved, and everyone was happy.

Lin Yuesha always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell, "Then why did the butcher kill the woman in red?"

"Maybe... I want to see the difference between a pig's heart and a human's heart."

Normal people can't understand the idea of ​​a murderous madman, Qi'er said casually.

Lin Yuesha: ...

A group of people walked south, and the weather became hotter and hotter. Lin Yuesha finally couldn't stand it anymore. She gave the material that Mrs. Zhuang sent to her mother, and wanted Mrs. Chen to wear it more comfortably.

After one night, Mrs. Chen turned the piece of fabric into two undershirts and asked Lin Yuesha to wear them alternately.

"Mother, I gave it to you, why did you make me an underwear again?"

Lin Yuesha pulled her mother to act like a spoiled child, she was a head shorter than Chen's, and they were not the same size, so the clothes could only be made smaller, but they couldn't be made bigger.

"You're a little girl, you should dress nicely."

Chen patted her daughter's head. At her age, it doesn't matter what she wears, and she has no chance to see anyone in the carriage all day long.

"Mother, don't say you are old, you are not old."

Lin Yuesha took Chen's hand, thinking about resting at the next stop, she went to the shop to buy some ready-made clothes for her mother.Doing needlework on the carriage, Lin Yuesha's eyes were dazzled and dizzy, she didn't have the skills of a mother.

"Okay, okay, mother is not old."

The more he walked towards the capital, the more flustered Mrs. Chen became.She and Lin Shusheng had been apart for many years, and she didn't know what it would be like to meet again.

She didn't want to bring up the old things with him, the past, the past is gone forever.

But for her daughter's marriage, Chen had no choice but to be tough. Before she nodded, she must not let Lin Shusheng sell her daughter and marry Lin Yuesha to a man with bad conduct for his own position.

Lin Yuesha could see what was on her mother's mind, but she couldn't bring it up. She only said that after arriving in the capital, she would borrow and live in Zhuang's house first, and find a doctor for her father first.

Looking for a doctor, looking for a yard, and thinking about doing business, none of which can be delayed, Lin Yuesha suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Xiaoya, Mrs. Zhuang has helped us a lot. My mother is a village woman in the mountains and has never seen the world. I really don't know how to thank her."

In the Chen family village, the Chen family seldom interacted with outsiders. When the family was doing business, she spoke more than usual, but when facing the official wife, she was unconsciously short.

"Mother, Aunt Zhuang has a peaceful temperament and doesn't put on airs."

Mrs. Zhuang often gives alms to poor people, her temperament is calm and calm, she is not such a high-ranking and domineering woman, and thanks to Mrs. Zhuang, she does not need her own mother to come forward for the time being.

For Chen, the wife of a second-rank official is not a big shot, and she has an inferiority complex unconsciously.

Lin Yuesha also has some. In Daqi, not everyone is equal, but people are clearly divided into ranks and ranks.Because she grew up in Chenjia Village, although the ladies in the women's school didn't say anything, there were still many people who looked down on her.

Bai Youran was on good terms with her at the time, but when he turned his back on her, he stepped on her background and expressed his sense of superiority as the magistrate's daughter all the time in his words.

Lin Yuesha didn't ask her mother to flatter her and do things she didn't like. Chen shouldn't have such a temper.

As for dealing with outsiders in business, she can handle it alone.

As a member of the family, it is right to contribute to the family, but not to outsiders.

"That's right, your father needs medical treatment, your elder brother has to rush for the exam, and mother doesn't know much about the family business, so I can only try not to hold you back."

Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her daughter, and wanted to stand up for her to withstand the wind and rain, but Mrs. Chen also thought that her daughter would grow up one day. With a father like Lin Shusheng in the capital, she might marry into a wealthy family. experience.
