Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Everyone looked at County Magistrate Tang, Mrs. Liu also sat up straight, looked at County Magistrate Tang and said, "Didn't Mr. Tang come to the temple fair this time to ask us something?"

Magistrate Tang raised his eyebrows, his eyes flicked back and forth between her and the Zhou family couple.

And Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi also looked confused.

Mrs. Liu asked: "Are you looking for Zhou Yin?"

Old Zhou Tou and Mrs. Qian immediately turned their heads to look at Mrs. Liu, and then couldn't help looking at Mr. Bai, suspecting that he told Mrs. Liu.

Master Bai sighed and did not speak.

Man Bao and Bai Shan were at a loss, they didn't understand why the home court had turned into Mrs. Liu, in other words, this matter has nothing to do with her, right?

County magistrate Tang took a panoramic view of the expressions of the people in the room, then gave up on old Zhou Tou and Mrs. Qian, and focused on Mrs. Liu, "Does this old lady recognize Zhou Yin?"

"Although I have never seen it, I have heard it for a long time. Every Qingming Festival and the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, there is a private sacrifice."

Bai Shan was surprised and couldn't help but said: "Grandmother, isn't the eighth day of May the anniversary of my father's death?"

Qian couldn't help but grabbed Man Bao's hand, but Man Bao didn't feel it, but looked at Bai Shan and said, "Every year on the eighth day of May, I also go to the cemetery to burn incense for my grandparents."

Of course, I have to offer incense to the lonely grave next to me, and later to my uncle.

Man Bao turned to look at his parents, and then at Mrs. Liu.

County magistrate Tang glanced at everyone, then looked away, and said to Mrs. Liu: "Yes, the county is looking for Zhou Yin. At first, I suspected him of committing a crime. Later, I found out that he died, and it was an accidental death. Then this is considered a crime." The murder case, so the county is investigating. According to the old lady, you know the inside story?"

"That's right," Mrs. Liu said as she sat on the chair, "except for me, the only one who knows the inside story is Mr. Wei in Beijing. Although the Zhou family is the master of suffering, they don't know as much as I do. "

County magistrate Tang pondered, and asked: "Master Wei, the old lady is talking about, could it be Mr. Wei Zhi, the secretary supervisor?"

"It is Wei Jianzheng."

County magistrate Tang's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists. He looked at Mrs. Liu without speaking for a long time. After a long time, he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "I see, it seems that the old lady has been waiting here for a long time. Follow me."

Mrs. Liu immediately stood up and saluted him, "Since Mr. Tang left without turning around, he obviously took over this case. Please forgive us for our grievances and return justice to the deceased."

After that, he was about to kneel down.

Mrs. Qian got up and pulled Man Bao to kneel down. Although old Zhou Tou was confused, he saw his daughter-in-law knelt down, so he knelt down too.

Bai Shan also knelt down on the ground with a slap, his face was as bewildered as Man Bao's, various thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally calmed down slowly, he looked up at his grandmother and mother kneeling in front of him, and bowed his head.

County magistrate Tang sighed, stretched out his hand to help Mrs. Liu up, and said with a wry smile: "What can even Mr. Wei fail to do, can this county do?"

Mrs. Liu was about to speak, but Magistrate Tang stretched out his hand to hold her down and said, "Although it is difficult, but since the county knows it, it will try its best."

And he really wanted to know, really wanted to investigate this case that had been concealed by so many people for more than ten years from the very beginning.

Magistrate Tang helped Mrs. Liu to sit on a chair, and said, "Tell me, Mrs. I think everyone wants to know."

After finishing speaking, he motioned her to look at the Zhou family couple.

Mrs. Liu took two steps forward, and solemnly bowed to the Zhou family couple. Old Zhou hurriedly avoided it. Mrs. Qian supported Mrs. Liu, her mouth trembling, "Old lady, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Liu pressed her hand and said: "I should have done this ceremony a long time ago. Zhou Yin's death is because of my son. It is also because of this that you have been frightened all these years. I, I am ashamed."

Qian Shi shook her lips and said nothing, because she really didn't know what to say.

It has been almost twelve years since Zhou Yin died. For twelve years, they racked their brains and couldn't figure out why he was killed and who killed him, but the insider was always by their side?

Mrs. Liu patted her hand, then turned her head to look at County Magistrate Tang and said, "Master Tang, this matter has to start from the second year of Dazhen."

Tang county magistrate made a plea for all ears.

"My son Bai Qi was a Jinshi in the first year of Dazhen. In the second year of Dazhen, he took over from the Imperial Academy and sent him to be the magistrate of Shu County in Yizhou."

"Shu County?" County Magistrate Tang couldn't help but asked, "Isn't that Huayang County?"

Chengguo County in Yizhou used to be called Shu County, but in the eighth year of Dazhen, the emperor changed the name of Shu County to Huayang County, and reduced the jurisdiction of Huayang County, and allocated some areas to neighboring counties.

Magistrate Tang rubbed his chin. This is still his senior.

"That's right, but in the past, Shu County was still in charge of the Jianweiyan area, and the area under its jurisdiction was much larger."

Tang county magistrate's scalp went numb when he heard Jianweiyan, and he vaguely guessed something.

"When my son took office, my daughter-in-law had just given birth, and it was difficult to travel around, so we stayed in the capital, planning to wait until the child was older, and he had a firm foothold there before bringing the family over there, but the end of the new year is approaching. , He only sent back a letter, saying that Shu County is busy with affairs, and various forces are intertwined, and it is difficult to straighten it out. We went, and it was difficult for him to accommodate us. Let us go back to our hometown in Longzhou first, and wait for him to take care of us. Send someone to pick us up after Shu County affairs are settled." Madam Liu said: "After receiving the letter, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Longzhou from the capital."

"Your Excellency also knows that officials need their family members to take care of the backyard and socialize with them when they are away, so I kept urging him to send someone to pick up my daughter-in-law, but he repeatedly refused until April of the third year of Dazhen. Suddenly a letter came, saying that Yizhou is dangerous, and he is also dangerous, so I dare not put my family in Shu County, I just hope that I can take care of the family, and when he has finished handling the county affairs, he will ask for leave and come pick us up in person .”

Mrs. Liu felt sad every time she thought about it, she wiped her tears and said: "But within two months after we received the letter, the news of his death came, the county government said that he took the county magistrate out of the city to suppress the bandits, and died of the bandits , Half of the people in Shu County’s county government are gone.”

County magistrate Tang couldn't help opening his mouth wide, and asked, "Dazhen three years?"

"yes."

County magistrate Tang couldn't help getting up and walking around, saying: "I've looked through the case files in the yamen. I've seen all the case files up to the fifteenth year of Dade, and there is no such case."

Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears and continued: "At first, I didn't have any doubts. I endured the grief and went to Yizhou City to attend his funeral, but found that Erji, who had been serving him closely, was missing. I asked the official in charge of the case , They only shirk that they went to suppress the bandits together, but if no one is seen, it is probably a dead body, and they will never be found. They..."
