The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Gu Jingxi saw the expressions of hatred on the couple's faces. He really hated his adopted son so much that he wanted to crush his body and spread his ashes. So in the end, they didn't collect his adopted son's body and let people from the Yamen throw it into a mass grave.

He did not answer Father Shen's question, but asked quietly: "I heard that he is usually very filial to you and friendly to his neighbors. He doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing. Except that he has some feelings for Miss Shen." The relationship between a man and a woman cannot be achieved without love, do you have any other reasons to think that the murderer must be him?"

Father Shen sighed softly and said angrily: "Sir, our husband and wife believed him at first, and thought that Mr. Li had harmed Qinghe. But in the end, Qingshan confessed and was imprisoned. He was sentenced to be beheaded in public by the prefect of Wei. He was afraid that he would die without a complete body. , crashed to death in the court, and said sorry to us before he died. We really didn't expect that he would do such a thing. No wonder they say that people's hearts are separated from each other.

Gu Jingxi looked at the couple in front of him and felt that he couldn't get any valuable clues from them, so he could only start from the Li family.

Father Shen was very strange and didn't understand why someone from the court came to investigate his daughter's death. They were just ordinary people. Even if the whole family died, they wouldn't alarm the capital.

After a moment, Father Shen asked hesitantly: "Sir, it has been so long since the case was closed, and you are here to investigate the case again. Is it possible that there is someone else who murdered Qinghe? But Qingshan has already confessed and said he was the one who did it."

"grown ups!"

Mother Shen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised her voice and said in a rather excited tone: "You just asked Qinghe if he was interested in Yingjie. I suddenly remembered that when the news of Yingjie's death came, Qinghe seemed to have lost his soul. Now a civilian woman If you think about it carefully, maybe she is really interested in Yingjie's child."

"But at that time, our husband and wife were helping the Yang family and couldn't take care of Qinghe. We don't know when she ran out. Later, Qingshan went to find Qinghe. Could it be that at that time, he saw that Qinghe was not around? He took the opportunity to take advantage of Qinghe and wanted Qinghe to lose his innocence and have to marry him? But Qinghe didn't want to. He was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he killed Qinghe and framed the blame on Mr. Li. "

If there were no other problems, Gu Jingxi would also have this speculation, but due to the influence of other things, he was more inclined to believe that Shen Qingshan was innocent, so he asked, "What if it's not Shen Qingshan?"

Mr. and Mrs. Shen were stunned. Wasn't it Qingshan?

For a moment, Shen's mother said in disbelief: "That's Mr. Li? Sir, that beast has already confessed his crime, how could it be Mr. Li? Your Excellency, you don't know. Mr. Li has thought about taking Qing He as his concubine, but he hasn't had time to do so yet. Upon entering the mansion, Qinghe was killed."

Gu Jingxi asked: "Have you already talked about the marriage between Miss Shen and Young Master Li in private?"

Mother Shen shook her head: "No, but if the Li family invites a matchmaker, we will not reject this good marriage unless Qinghe doesn't want to."

The Li family is a wealthy businessman in Deqing County. If their daughter marries, she will definitely be able to live comfortably and enjoy happiness. Who among their parents would disagree? Unless the daughter is unwilling to marry, they will refuse. After all, it is just a daughter. No matter how close the adopted son is, he is not his biological child, but the daughter is.

Gu Jingxi asked again: "Have Miss Shen ever revealed that she is fond of Mr. Li?"

Mother Shen shook her head again: "That's not true, but she said that Mr. Li is gentle and a good person. If Mr. Li invites a matchmaker to arrange a match, she has no reason to be dissatisfied with the marriage."

Father Shen carefully recalled what his adopted son had done over the years, and combined with the words of the adult in front of him, he felt that there might be some doubts about the case, so he asked anxiously: "My lord, is it really not Qingshan's fault?" As he said this, he plopped down. Kneeling down, "Sir, you have to make the decision for the grassroots and the little girl. If it is not Qingshan, please find the real culprit for the little girl."

Gu Jingxi said quietly: "I will find out whether it is yes or no. You are staying here now. If you think of any clues, you can tell Fang Xuan and the others that you cannot leave or appear in front of others until the case is revealed. You guys. What does your daughter look like? Please describe it and I will draw a portrait."

After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Shen were at a loss. Their daughter had passed away, so what was the use of knowing her appearance? But they still described to Gu Jingxi how tall their daughter was, who her nose looked like, who her eyes looked like, and even what style of hair she liked.

Gu Jingxi drew a five-point portrait based on what they said, and then revised it twice based on what they said. The portrait was probably nine-point like Shen Qinghe, so he asked Shen and his wife to step aside.

Fang Ce stepped forward and asked: "Master Hou, why do you want to fight this case?"

Gu Jingxi half-squinted his eyes and said calmly: "There are no other abnormalities found so far. Only this case seems a bit unusual to me, so I can't let it go. Zhou Yun and Yu Chuan checked it out and found out that Magistrate Wei has received benefits from people. Convenient situation, although his private accounts have not been found, but he has done things for people's convenience. The Li family is rich, so he may have bribed Magistrate Wei."

He said, his tone darkening: "Even if this case has nothing to do with the deaths of the first two magistrates of Deqing County, we still have to investigate. I usually turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to doing something innocuous while receiving some benefits. It's malicious. Making unjust and false cases and killing people is a serious matter and must be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, if this happens again, many people will die unjustly and wrongly."

Fang Ce nodded, and then asked: "Master Hou, if this case is related to the deaths of the first two magistrates, how should the deaths of the first two magistrates be investigated?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "I will check the government office in Deqing County to see if I can find any clues. If the first official sent by the court died in the government office, then he must have found some clues. I just don't know if there will be any clues." There will be clues left. Before Miss Shen's case comes to light, you must watch the couple and don't let them go out, lest they go out and talk and alert the snake. "

Fang Ce responded: "Master Hou, don't worry, I understand."

Later, Gu Jingxi ordered Fang Xuan to go to Huzhou City to secretly check the private accounts of Mr. Wei, the prefect of Huzhou. As long as he found the private accounts, it would be clear whether Mr. Wei should touch them or not. Even if you can't find the private accounts, you can still find evidence of collusion between officials and businessmen.

After handling these matters, Gu Jingxi looked at Shen Qinghe's portrait and pinched his eyebrows with a headache. If the case had nothing to do with the death of the two magistrates, there would be no clues in the county office or elsewhere. Behind the scenes If the person doesn't reveal the truth, this case may really become an unsolved case.

When he went back, Gu Jingxi took the portrait with him.

When he returned to the guest room, Ayao was already asleep, but there was a light left in the room for him.

The next morning.

Gu Jingxi gave the portrait to Chan'er, told Chan'er about Shen Qinghe's case, and asked Chan'er to disguise herself as Shen Qinghe, and go to talk to Mr. Li at night.

Last year, Chan'er had rich experience in pretending to be a ghost to scare people because of Meng Jinyao's instructions. She was also experienced in how to talk to people as a 'ghost'. This matter was not difficult for her. He immediately responded: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Meng Jinyao smiled and asked, "How come your husband does this kind of pretentious thing?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and replied warmly: "I have never thought of using this method before. It was taught by Ayao. People who have ghosts in their hearts are most afraid of ghosts. They are not scared and are easy to talk."

Meng Jinyao raised her head and glared at him, saying that she did this because she had limited abilities and could only do this kind of thing.
