Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 83 What's New!
Since this corpse does not belong to Mrs. Pan, what about Mrs. Pan?
This is what Liu Sheng needs to care about.

Liu Sheng subconsciously flipped through the post-mortem report in his hand. The main parts on it were also very ordinary, but judging from the condition of her hands and feet, she didn't look like someone from the village.

He looks like a city dweller!

Although the clothes belonged to Mrs. Pan, the person was not. This meant that Mrs. Pan not only hid herself, but also someone else assisted her in hiding it!
But, why is no one reporting the crime now?
Either the owner of the corpse was not from Chang'an County, or the relatives of the deceased did not report it.

First of all, the first possibility is ruled out. The scope of Pan's activities is very small and does not go beyond the scope of Chang'an County. The possibility of the former is very small, so the other party is likely to be a big family in Chang'an County.

The death of a maidservant in a rich family is not a big deal to them, even if there are no relatives of the deceased to report the case, no one else will report the case.

Liu Sheng quickly clarified this matter, and now he needs to figure out three issues.

The first is where are the Pan people?Is it dead or alive?
The second is who is the owner of this corpse?
The third question is whether Mrs. Pan took the initiative or passively cooperated with this deceitful operation?

In fact, both the first and second questions can be classified as one. As long as Pan's whereabouts are found, these questions can be easily solved.

As for the third question, it concerns why Mrs. Pan cooperated or was forced to cooperate in this deception case.

Regarding the question of whether Pan took the initiative, it was difficult for Liu Sheng to find evidence of Pan's passive participation.

In just one night, he knew Wang Dajiang's whereabouts, and was able to stun Wang Dajiang without leaving any traces of breaking into the house. That is to say, Pan's cooperation was voluntary.

As for why he took the initiative to cooperate, Liu Sheng had a plan to rule out the possibility of just seeking money.

Wang Dajiang was only in a small business, and he didn't have much wealth at all, so it wasn't worth murdering and framing, so that Pan could benefit in the end.

Therefore, excluding all possibilities, the only remaining one is the correct answer, that is, Pan's cooperation with outsiders to blind his vision and make the illusion of his own death, so that he left this house and ran towards someone logically.

Liu Sheng's face was slightly relieved, and he had a bottom line in his heart.

"Come on, take the body down first!"

Liu Sheng asked someone to carry away the body first, and then said straight to the point:

"Now, the most important thing is, where is Mrs. Pan now?"

"And why did she feign death and leave?"

In fact, this question is easy to guess, and it also coincides with Liu Sheng's conjecture.

Fundamentally, the general environment has already pointed out the direction for Liu Sheng. As expected, this case is also related to the openness of Datang.

The husband was away for a long time, and the extraordinary wife couldn't bear the loneliness in her heart, so she found a lover to have an affair, and even abandoned her husband and parents for her lover.

Liu Sheng was surprised at first, but when he recalled the more corrupt social trend in later generations and the more shameless situation that actually happened, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Fornication with the government will be punished, and then it will be resolved privately.

But when someone died, even though Liu Sheng hated it, he still had to deal with it and find the murderer.

For a moment, the old couple couldn't hold back their faces anymore, the original confusion was replaced by shame, and they bowed their heads deeply.

At least a person who can be restrained by morality has not degenerated into a beast, and if he has face, it means he still has face.

The people around were pointing and discussing endlessly, and it was easy to guess the approximate truth of Pan's fake death.

Although this kind of adultery is not rare, it will be ridiculed by others. Even the neighbors around them bowed their heads silently and kept silent.

Now that he knew the general truth, Liu Sheng naturally had to adjust the direction of his investigation, and he immediately sent a yamen servant to inquire about the news.

Soon, the yamen servant came back, and he could quickly find out which family Pan was close to, or which family was convenient for Pan to have an affair with.

"My lord, in Chang'an County, there is a wealthy family who often do business with the Pan family."

Liu Sheng wondered, is it such an obvious private sale?Has no one discovered the affair yet?

"Which family is it?" Liu Sheng couldn't help but think of several families in Chang'an County.

The yamen servant replied, "It's Ximen's house on the corner of the street!"

"I heard from the neighbors in the neighborhood that Mrs. Pan is at home all year round and would knit some shoes to sell in the market. But I don't know when Pan's found a regular seller, which is Ximen's family!"

"Every few days, Mrs. Pan will deliver the shoes to the family in person, but the strange thing is that she stays longer each time."

As soon as these words came out, the truth of the case probably came out. As for where Mrs. Pan was, she also knew.

For this Ximen family, Liu Sheng has some impressions. After all, it is a well-known and well-known family in Chang'an County. Even the servants in the family don't know how to wear straw sandals, right?
Even a slightly richer family would not wear straw sandals. Are straw sandals as comfortable as cloth shoes?
Moreover, for a big family like the Ximen family, the servants go out to represent their face. If the servants go out wearing straw sandals, it will give other people the illusion that your family has no money.

However, what is outrageous is that Pan often goes to his house to sell shoes, and he stays for a long time.

Now even a fool knows what's going on, Liu Sheng looked down at the old couple with their heads down, and the silent neighbors.

If the son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault, and these writers and parents must be responsible.

But they must also be ignorant, otherwise they would not have reported such a matter to the Yamen, this case cannot withstand scrutiny.

The people outside were discussing a lot, pointing and pointing at the people related to the Pan family in the court.

"I really didn't expect that Mrs. Pan is such a person. When I saw her working hard to weave straw sandals and go to the market to sell them to subsidize the family, I sympathized with her, but I didn't expect, alas!"

"The world is getting worse, and people's hearts are not old. Such a morally corrupt thing, even killing and framing for the sake of that Ximen official, is really despicable!"

"Who said it wasn't? Originally, I thought that this Ximen official was still a good person, but no one thought that he would have an adulterous affair with a commoner girl, and even killed someone!"

For their discussion, Liu Sheng saw it in his eyes, and this matter could not be put on the table in the first place.

Even if Liu Sheng knew about it, he would just criticize the other party, treat him morally with contempt, and deal with it according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

However, this incident actually involved human life, and it was just to cover up the shameful truth. Liu Sheng's attitude was not contempt, but anger.
