Chapter 100 The Ugly Slave (9)

The Xin family will never admit to this matter, I know this, so I don't care about their eyes.Although Xin Ruyi died of homicide, it is really difficult to pursue responsibility for this matter.It would be too absurd to close the case according to what the Xin family said, and I'm afraid the county will have trouble making it through the review.

So I suggest Ji Youjie, since there is no way to investigate this matter, it is better to characterize it as Xin Ruyi who fell in the meditation hall, accidentally fell on the candlestick, and died.In this way, everyone can explain something, and Xin Shouyi doesn't have to bear the charge.

After hearing this, Ji Youjie naturally had no opinion, so he went to ask Xin Fuzhen, if she was willing to close the case, the town would report the murder case like this.Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Xin Fuzhen's eyes became more and more strange.

Both Ji Youjie and I feel a little guilty because of her look, I don't know what went wrong.Ji Youjie coughed lightly, and said, "Do you think there's anything wrong with this way of handling it?"

"We have repeatedly insisted on the statement of Mount Sumeru Temple, and asked our uncle to leave as soon as possible, in order not to pursue the murderer." Xin Fuzhen said slowly, "But why do you insist on accusing us of murder?"

She still insisted that Xin Shouyi killed him.I heard the words and persuaded: "You don't need to plead guilty, just close the case as I said, and it won't affect you in any way."

"This gentleman just talked to himself, asserting that my father asked us to kill him, and then proposed such a plan. It sounds like he is defending us everywhere." Xin Fuzhen's eyes rolled over me, but his tone was a little cold , "If things are really as you said, we should really thank you."

"Isn't that the case?" I suddenly felt strange, I really thought about them everywhere, but she didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Even if a father would ask his daughter to kill him, which daughter would do it?" Xin Fuzhen said coldly, and turned to Xin Shouyi, "As long as my uncle leaves Plum Blossom Town, no one can hold you accountable for killing him." But why don’t you leave, must you collude with the town hall to place this charge on us?”

"I didn't kill anyone." She still bit the person to death with one bite, and it was Xin Shou who killed him.Xin Shouyi was not impatient, he just bowed his head and folded his palms together.

Xin Fuzhen ignored him, and then said to me and Ji Youjie: "I don't know what the town hall's intentions are, but whether it has anything to do with it or not, the Xin family will never admit it."

She categorically refused the best solution to this matter, and Ji Youjie and I looked at each other in blank dismay.I suddenly felt a little shaken in my heart. What she said made sense. Even if Xin Ruyi made such a request, which daughter could do it or sit back and watch others do it?
If Xin Ruyi was really killed by the Xin family, how could they refuse to close the case with my suggestion.But if the person was killed by Xin Shouyi, why didn't he run away, and even colluded with the abbot monk of Yunmen Temple to fabricate a set of excuses.Is it true that as Xin Fuzhen said, he felt that not only Xin Ruyi deserved to die, but the entire Xin family should also pay the price, so he stayed to slander and accuse the Xin family?
Anyway, between the Xin family and Xin Shouyi, one of them was always lying.But the problem is, now we can't tell who is lying.

"So you both insisted that the other party killed Xin Ruyi." I was a little helpless, "May I ask Miss Xin, when did you find your father's body?"

"At that time, we accompanied my father to Yunmen Temple to see my uncle, and my father asked us to stay outside the temple." Xin Fuzhen said, Xin Ruyi confessed before entering the temple that he went here to seek relief and asked them to take his body with him. Just return, don't hold Xin Shouyi accountable.

The three of them waited outside the temple, and she kept crying in the car thinking that her father would never come back.Although Mama Yu and Qian Bo were comforting her, they felt uncomfortable, so they fell silent while talking.After a long time, the abbot monk of Yunmen Temple came out and said that the affairs of the two brothers in the temple were all over, and asked them to go in and take Xin Ru back.

Thinking of his father's end, Xin Fuzhen cried so hard that he couldn't climb out of the car, so Yu Ma and Qian Bo went into the monk's house together, brought out Xin Ruyi's body, and then returned to Xin's house.

"Hey," I became suspicious when I heard the words, and said to Xin Shou, "Since you didn't kill him, he can leave by himself after the abbot monk told him, why do you need someone to pick him up?"

"When he came to the monk's house, he seemed to have some problems with his feet. He walked with a limp, and it was very difficult to enter the monk's house." Xin Shouyi replied, "The abbot is old, so naturally he can't help him out, probably because of this he went out to call them."

"Is that so?" I asked Xin Fuzhen.Xin Fuzhen nodded: "He did have some foot problems at the time."

"So the key to this matter is whether Xin Ruyi is dead or alive when he leaves the monk's house." I pondered.

"That's right." Ji Youjie also said, "But except for the two parties who insisted on their own opinions, no one saw the scene at that time. Who can prove whether Xin Ruyi was dead or alive at that time?"

I shook my head slightly at him, indicating that I am also at the end of my skills and don't know what to do next.Now that the situation had reached a stalemate, Ji Youjie had no choice but to let the three members of the Xin family go back first. As for Xin Shouyi, he asked him to stay in the town hall and wait for the situation to become clear before making a decision.

The three of the Xin family went back without saying anything, but they looked at Xin Shouyi with complicated eyes when they left, but they didn't urge the town office to do anything about him. It seems that no matter whether Xin Shouyi killed him or not, they all Definitely not going to pursue him.

We waited for the Xin family to leave, and asked Xin Shouyi, "Where were you when Uncle Qian and Mama Yu went to look for Xin Ruyi?"

"In the hall." Xin Shouyi replied, "I made up my mind at that time that although I didn't kill him, I would never see him again in this life."

"Then do you want to investigate the cause of Xin Ruyi's death now?" I asked him, thinking to myself, if the Xin family took Xin Ruyi away in front of him, it would be clear whether he was dead or alive, and there would not be so many things now. up.

"I just want to tell you that I didn't kill people. As for who killed them, I don't want to know."

Ji Youjie and I shook our heads when we heard the words, obviously neither side wanted to hold the other party accountable, but this matter just couldn't be settled.Xin Shouyi only said a few words throughout the whole process, and he had nothing to say to us at this time, so Ji Youjie arranged for him to rest, and asked the villagers to prepare a fast meal for him at meal time.

Ji Youjie doesn't live in the town hall, so after arranging everything, he took me back to Ji's house for lunch.As soon as I arrived in the town, he dragged me to investigate the case, so this is the first time he officially entertained me.But what surprised me was that his original wife was gone, and there were actually two concubines at home.

But these two aunts and wives get along very well, I thought Ji Youjie was smart, he knew three women in one play, so he stopped abruptly in front of the stage and gave them three missing one, otherwise the house would be full of gongs and drums all day long, It may not be that I will have food when I come home today.

Because Ji Youjie told them that I was the son of an old friend, the two wives cooked the lunch themselves. It was elegant and light, which suited my taste.The two wives were also very happy to see that I ate a lot, while they were talking about Ji Mingmei, a dead girl who lost her temper with the old man, and didn't know how to come back after going out, while waving two pairs of chopsticks to serve me vegetables, her chopsticks skills are exquisite , Flies all over the sky avoided its edge one after another.

Ji Mingmei must be the girl of Ji's family, I thought to myself, she might have conflicts with her family and ran away, but Ji Youjie was not in a hurry at all.While eating, the two concubines took Ji Mingmei's story as a joke and told me.

It turned out that Miss Ji was born to Ji Youjie's original spouse. Since she went to the provincial capital to attend a foreign school, she has been exposed to new trends and has a new idea of ​​equality between men and women.She firmly believes that women are half the sky, and that men taking concubines is a bad habit that should be cast aside, so after returning home, she kept encouraging the two young mothers to leave Ji Youjie, become independent and self-reliant.

Poor her two young mothers who only knew three obediences and four virtues since they were young, and they were stunned when they heard their daughter encouraging them to elope.Miss Ji felt that her thoughts were being contemptuous, so she lost her temper and ran away from home.

They spoke with relish, just as an anecdote.The new idea of ​​equality between men and women is correct, but the bad habits of thousands of years can only be changed gradually, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. I imagine the innocence of this girl Ji, and I can't help but smile a little.The two wives told a few anecdotes, and knowing that Ji Jie and I had something to talk about, they packed up the dishes and invited us to talk in the hall.

I thanked them and sat down with Ji Youjie in the hall to drink tea and discuss the case of the Xin family.Originally, we all believed Xin Shouyi's words, but after confronting Xin's family, we became suspicious of him again.I couldn't say anything after talking about it, so I asked him: "This matter has entered a dead end now. Tell me the truth, does this matter have anything to do with me?"

"It's okay to tell you, lest you keep murmuring in your heart that I'm lying to you." Ji Youjie put down the teacup, but his expression suddenly became serious, "I have always had some business contacts with the Xin family, and Xin Ruyi came to look for it not long ago. Pass me and tell me something."

When I saw his situation, it seemed that this matter was really related to me, I couldn't help being surprised, and my face turned serious, and I listened attentively to what he said.Ji Youjie said, not long before Xin Ruyi's death, one day he suddenly came to the town hall to look for him. He said that in the past few years, he devoted himself to Buddhism, and he had visited famous mountains and ancient temples, and found an ancient temple hidden in a certain mountain.

He stayed in the temple for a while, and when he came out of the mountain, he suddenly met a group of people on the mountainside when he was approaching a crowded place.This group of people looked neither like loggers nor like herbalists, but they pointed at the foot of the mountain.He looked in the direction they pointed at that time, and found a family at the bottom of the mountainside.

This family's house is quite large, and the single-family house is just located at the foot of the mountain. From the mountain, you can see the whole picture.This group of people was also very surprised to see someone coming out of the mountain, and they seemed to be quite vigilant.Seeing this, Xin Ru hurriedly declared to them that he was just passing by and would leave immediately.

After those people knew that he was not from this place, they spoke politely.After Xin Ruyi chatted with them for a few words, he left on his own.It was nothing at all, and he had already forgotten about it all these years.But not long ago, he returned to the ancient temple in the deep mountain again, and when he came out of the mountain, he met the same group of people again.

Almost 20 years have passed between these two encounters. There is no such coincidence in this world.Xin Ruyi was secretly surprised, because now it seems that these two encounters were not a coincidence, but that group of people would come here every year, so they met him.Xin Ruyi looked at the family down the mountain, and couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Obviously, these people came here to observe the family at the bottom of the mountain, but he naturally didn't know what the plot was.The group were also surprised to see him, but said nothing.Later he returned to Plum Blossom Town, and not long after, he suddenly heard the news that a landslide had occurred in that town, and a family at the foot of the mountain was buried in it.

Xin Ruyi was shocked when he heard the news, and finally knew why those people went there every year.It turned out that they loosened the soil on the mountain every year. After accumulating for nearly 20 years, they finally triggered a landslide.And because the landslide was not created in a short period of time, no one could see the man-made traces in it.
