Erosion of bones and pets, forensic mad concubine

Chapter 1281 Silence, very strange silence
Chapter 1282 Silence, very strange silence
Liu Wei's statement that he found the murderer is actually not so absolute.

Li Kuan, the eldest son of Li Daguan's family, was born at the age of one, one wife and two concubines in the family, three of them were known by the outsiders, and six were conservatively estimated to be unknown.

Liu Wei's suspicion of Li Kuan is based on facts.

After investigation, it was confirmed that the small wooden house and small canoe by the mountain and river belonged to Li Kuan's personal property. In fact, the entire mountain forest belonged to Li Kuan.

Huaishan in Xijin County is owned by the imperial court. There is no reason that whoever gets close can seize the land. The mountain people living near Huaishan can cut firewood and hunt on the mountain, which is allowed by the county government. Yes, this is the Limin Regulations.

Before County Magistrate Song took over as magistrate of Xijin County, the mountain people were not allowed to take possession of the materials on the mountain. It was precisely because of this that Xijin County became poorer and poorer. In years of good weather, dozens of people could starve to death.

After Song County Magistrate took over, he gave the mountain to the villages, and each village could take a part, and the materials on the mountain were enough for the mountain people to use.

But Huaishan is too big, surrounding the entire county, the south and east of the county have the most villages, the west is the least, and the north is a transportation hub. After the mountain land allocated to different villages in the west, there is still a large mountain area left. How could County Magistrate Song let these resources go to waste?

So the Song county magistrate decided to rent out the mountain, whether it was logging, hunting, or planting fruit trees on the mountain, as long as you wanted to, pay the rent to the yamen, and the mountain will be your private property for a few years.

Daughters do not inherit property, and Li Daguan and his wife have only one only son, Li Kuan.

Since there is only one son, there is no need to divide the house, so even if they are all in their thirties, marry a wife and have children, they should have been separated long ago, and Li Kuan still lives with his parents.

But unfortunately a few years ago, Mr. Li found an illegitimate son.

The mother of this illegitimate child was a brothel girl raised by Li Daguan in other places when he went out to discuss business with others.

Daguan Li looked down on women from brothels, and never thought of taking a woman of that status home as a concubine. The woman knew how to take the money and disappeared without a trace.

And a few years ago, it was a coincidence that Mr. Li went to the Fucheng to discuss business again. On the way, by chance, he ran into a concubine who was married to a wife. Then I overheard, a boy of eighteen or nineteen called the woman "mother".

After calculating the age, after some investigation, and then calculating the months, Mr. Li knew that the outer room was pregnant with his child and separated from him.

Li Daguan was very angry, his wife gave him only one son, and his concubine did not live up to expectations, and gave birth to three daughters. Unexpectedly, there was a parent-child in another place.

Li Daguan didn't care about anything immediately, he insisted on taking the child away, the child is not a child of how old, and he can't live without his mother. I heard that his father is a wealthy businessman in Lin County, and he has a brighter future when he goes back , and agreed to go home with his father.

In this way, the illegitimate child came to Xijin County.

Unlike Li Kuan, who is arrogant and mischievous, this illegitimate son grew up poor and has some good eyesight. When he first came, he got along with Li Daguan's temper. After ten days, he even questioned and opposed his entry. Even Li Kuan's own mother, Mrs. Li, who did not hesitate to threaten her with death, got her temper right.

The people who eat melons all admire his methods.

After Li Kuan made this new brother cheat him a few times, he got into trouble with him, no matter in business, business or in daily life.

Two months later, Mr. Li negotiated a deal in the capital, about the opening of a branch of the shipping company in the capital. Both Li Kuan and his illegitimate son wanted to fight for this good deal, but Mr. Li intended to give it to his youngest son.

After knowing that he had nothing to do with the branch, Li Kuan lost his temper.

The whole world was waiting for him to get angry and fight with his new brother to the death, Li Kuan was silent, the silence was very strange, after a few days of silence, he rented the mountain land from the Yamen in his own name.

What's wrong?Planning to abandon business and become a farmer?

Don't do boat business, when the owner went?

No one knew what Li Kuan was thinking. In short, from that day on, he acted quietly and low-key, and even went home less often.

And then, Liu Wei easily, almost without any effort, found the signature identity of the hill in the lease document of the yamen.

Li Kuan is exactly the object of Liu Wei's suspicion.

County Magistrate Song was dumbfounded when Liu Wei finished talking about everything she found on the mountain. After that, he was stunned and immediately retorted: "The mountain belongs to him, and the murderer is him? Isn't this statement too sloppy? You also mentioned the underground river." The junction of the water tank and the location of the reservoir are all there, maybe the murderer sneaked there to transport the corpse, so how can you say it is Mr. Li?"

County magistrate Song is an economic official. He was so distressed that he lost his hair all night long when he offended the Sun family. This time, he offended another wealthy gentry, Mr. Li. ?
Liu Wei doesn't care about money or not, she only cares about solving the case and nothing else.

"It's written in your yamen's lease book that Li Kuan's leased land covers an area of ​​exactly [-] mu. From the mouth of the reservoir to the top of the mountain, it's connected all the way, isn't it?"

Magistrate Song nodded: "So what?"

Liu Wei said: "Then do you know that coming out of the reservoir mouth is an underground river that can't be filled in. The underground river is twelve acres wide. The left side of the river is the cliff after five acres. The short road up the mountain is full of jagged rocks, the mountain is difficult, and there are waterfalls further ahead, what do you want to rent this kind of land for?”

County Magistrate Song paused for a moment. When he first leased the land, he only cared about how much an acre of land cost, but he didn't care where it was located.

Measuring the position and so on are all done by the master.

Thinking of this, he said "wait a minute" to Liu Wei, and then hurried outside to find the master.

After finding the master, the master said: "When I was surveying the land, I wondered why Mr. Li insisted on that piece of land? I also told him specifically that the river had to go into the well after crossing the reservoir, and the water could not Filling, you can't touch the waterfall upstream, and the water below can't flow if you touch it. He also agreed, but I still feel suspicious when I come back. Didn't I tell you, my lord, that you didn't take it seriously."

County Magistrate Song didn't even remember, and asked, "Did you tell me? How did I get back?"

The master said: "You said, don't care about him. It's rare for a fool to want that kind of land. If he has a mental illness, let him go. Anyway, it will be stamped, and you will not refund the money."

County Magistrate Song twitched his mouth in embarrassment: "I... Is that what I said?"

The master nodded seriously, and then said: "However, Mr. Li rented the land for a strange time. We rent the land for at least half a year, and he only rented it for half a year."

This time, even if County Magistrate Song still had a lot to explain to Li Kuan, he couldn't say it.

It's fine to rent a piece of land that can't be done.

At least half a year, you really only rent for half a year.

What can I do in half a year? It will take four seasons to plant trees and harvest food. Moreover, a wooden house and a wooden boat belonging to Li Kuan were found in that field. All the evidence points to Li Kuan. He can still say that Li Kuan is innocent ?

Even if the murderer really wasn't Li Kuan, Li Kuan's purpose for renting this place must not be pure.
