Ex-wife villain

Zhao Wancang struggled desperately, and his arms were firmly stepped on, unable to move.

Painful whimpers continued to come from the wet cloth.

The strong suffocation and choking on water made him extremely uncomfortable, and his body spasmed and twitched uncontrollably.

Soon, a pot of water was poured out.

Jiang Shouzhong put down the kettle and picked the wet cloth off Zhao Wanchang's face with his toes. There was a gentle but chilling smile on his handsome face, "Have you sobered up?"

Zhao Wanchang coughed violently, and the water coming out of his nose mixed with snot and tears stuck to his face, making him look particularly embarrassed.

After finally catching his breath, when he heard Jiang Shouzhong's question, his eyes were filled with fear.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"Are you really awake?" Jiang Shouzhong looked gentle.

"Wake up! Really wake up!"

Zhao Wanchang struggled to grab Jiang Shouzhong's trousers and begged, "Sir, I was wrong. I will never insult the Wen girls with random words again. Please let me go, sir..."

"It looks like you haven't sobered up yet."

Jiang Shouzhong had no expression on his face and asked Lu Renjia to fill him with another bottle of cold water.

Zhao Wanchang had some brains and realized that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly slapped himself on the ear and cried: "Sir, I'm awake, I'm really awake this time! You're just helping me sober up, there's no other meaning. "

Jiang Shouzhong stared at the other person for a while, put down the kettle, and said with a smile: "It's good to wake up. In fact, some misunderstandings between neighbors are normal. When you wake up, some misunderstandings will be resolved. Are you right?"

"Yeah."

Zhao Wanchang was very polite and continued to slap himself, "My lord clearly had good intentions to help me sober up, but my lord still misunderstood that my lord was seeking personal revenge and deliberately bullied me. You deserve to be damned!"

Jiang Shouzhong then signaled Lu Renjia to open the window for ventilation.

Good people and evil people are no match for one person.

Although the three of them are just petty officials and hold a small amount of power, they are still one inch taller than the common people who grew up in the soil. There is no reason to see their families being bullied.

Senior officials are like prime ministers, while junior officials are petty.

They are the lower-level officials who have the most dealings with them on weekdays.

Jiang Shouzhong is really not afraid that the other party will file a complaint afterwards.

Jiang Shouzhong disliked the smell in the house, so he took a chair and sat by the window, and asked Zhao Wanchang, "Did your home get robbed that night four days ago?"

Zhao Wanchang wiped the water on his face with his sleeves, knelt on the ground and answered honestly:

"Yes, when Xiaomin came home that night, he found that there was a thief in the house. Xiaomin was angry about his wife, so he beat him up."

"How many thieves?"

"Just... just one."

Zhao Wanchang spoke subconsciously, then shook his head violently, "No, no, there are two."

Jiang Shouzhong stared at the frightened Zhao Wanchang with cold eyes, "One, or two?"

"Two! Two!"

The cold winter wind swept in from the window, making Zhao Wanchang shiver, whose clothes were mostly wet.

He trembled and said, "At first I thought it was just one person, but when I heard the kid calling his friend's name, I knew it was two."

Jiang Shouzhong asked: "Have you seen the other person?"

Zhao Wanchang shook his head vigorously, "I didn't see it."

Zhao Wanchang's answer matched Zheng Shanqi's story, indicating that Ge Dasheng did indeed leave suddenly in the middle of the night, leaving behind his companions.

So why did Ge Dasheng leave midway?

It's impossible to really have diarrhea.

Even Zheng Shanqi, a cuckold friend, didn't believe it, and Jiang Shouzhong naturally didn't believe it. There is only one possibility - Ge Dasheng saw something and was attracted to it.

So what did he see?

Stealing in the middle of the night...leaving in the middle of the night...blackmailing...going to Wufengguan alone in the middle of the night...die...

Jiang Shouzhong, who had strung together a series of messages, walked slowly, thinking step by step, to the door of Zhao Wanchang's small courtyard.

After looking left and right for a long time, he walked to a corner of the courtyard wall that was perfect for taking a breather and squatted down.

Not only is it easy to hide here, but you can also observe the conditions of the roads on both sides and the surrounding neighbors.

Jiang Shouzhong imagined that he was Ge Dasheng that night, cunningly guarding his companions. After looking around, Jiang Shouzhong's eyes suddenly settled on an idle mill shed.

The shed is made of rough timber.

There is an old stone mill in the shed, covered with thick dust and has not been used for a long time.

Jiang Shouzhong walked into the wooden shed. Hammers, shovels, baskets and other tools were hung on one wooden wall, intertwined with dust and spider webs.

In the innermost part of the wooden shed, there are several bundles of hay.

One of the haystacks spread out and was hidden behind the stone mill.

Jiang Shouzhong fiddled with it a few times with his feet and found that there was little dust on the haystack, and there were obvious signs of being slept on.

Jiang Shouzhong touched it twice with his hand, picked up a handful of grass, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Renjia sighed at his hands, came over and asked curiously.

Jiang Shouzhong glanced at the house next to him and said, "I remember that Aunt Zhang used to live here. After Aunt Zhang left, the house has been vacant."

"Yes, Zhang Jugui's family."

Lu Renjia knew the nearby residents quite well and said, "Last year, Aunt Zhang and her daughter entered the palace in the capital and became the personal maid of a noble concubine. She was quite favored, so Aunt Zhang moved to the Confucian Gate in the outer city, which is closer to the imperial city. Lived on the street.”

Speaking of this, Lu Renjia said with a smile:

"In the past, when Lao Zhang was working as a policeman in the Yamen, the girl from Aunt Zhang's family actually liked him very much. However, Aunt Zhang was snobbish and looked down on Lao Zhang, so she made a lot of connections before putting the girl in the palace.

This person stands low and sees only shallowly. He thinks he can become a phoenix after entering the palace, hehe.

Although she is now the favored maid of the imperial concubine, she is like accompanying a tiger. Maybe one day Aunt Zhang will be sent by a white-haired person to a black-haired person, so she might as well seek stability, alas. "

Jiang Shouzhong ignored Shoehorn's long sigh, returned to the house, and continued to ask Zhao Wanchang, "You said before that on the night of the 12th, Wen Laoba saw someone having an affair in the idle mill shed of his neighbor Aunt Zhang's house?"

Zhao Wanchang, who was sitting on the stool rubbing his knees, saw Jiang Shouzhong coming back and hurriedly knelt on the ground again.

I accidentally knelt too hard and my knees hurt.

Zhao Wanchang gritted his teeth and held back the pain and said, "My wife told me that on the night of the 12th, Wen Laoba saw Wen...someone having an affair with me in Aunt Zhang's mill shed, and my wife still believed it. , What a pig brain! That fellow Wen Laoba likes to brag and make up things.

Now my daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' home. I went to find her, but she didn't want to come back at all. Sir, why do you think my life is so miserable? "

Zhao Wanchang once again emphasized that his wife had returned to her parents' home.

Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his chin, a look of contemplation appeared on his handsome and extraordinary face. He paused and asked, "Does anyone have an affair there on weekdays?"

Zhao Wanchang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know about this young one."

……

Zhang's house, in the kitchen.

The medicinal soup on the stove is constantly boiling, with white foam floating around. Occasionally, the medicinal juice overflowing from the medicine jar is sprinkled on the stove surface and makes a sizzling sound.

Wen Zhaodi stared blankly, like a body that had lost its soul.

The woman holds a porcelain vase in her hand.

For a long time, she glanced at the cabin where Zhang's mother was sleeping, and pulled out the cork of the bottle.

The porcelain bottle tilted slowly.

A wisp of red flowing gas fell into the medicinal soup.

The evil spirit is overflowing.

-

Inside the county prison.

After being interrogated by Jiang Shouzhong, Zheng Shanqi had a flattering look on his face and was still chattering to the old head catcher Liao,

"Captain Liao, I really didn't lie this time. I did see someone abducting girls. Let me out, let me serve my crime, and take you to rescue people myself... Capt. Liao? Say something."

Lao Liao, who was thinking about things, said angrily: "Shut up and stay well. When will you correct your evil ways and when will you be let out?"

He has caught Zheng Shanqi too many times for lying.

Not a word he said was true.

Lao Liao didn't bother to pay attention to this guy's nonsense, turned around and left.

"Liao Captou!"

Seeing Lao Liao leaving, Zheng Shanqi became anxious and shouted loudly, "Captain Liao, I definitely didn't lie this time. There are several girls imprisoned in the yard behind the Xichu Hall. By the way, by the way, one of them I seem to have seen..."

Suddenly Zheng Shanqi thought of something and said hurriedly, "It seems to be He Daya's daughter He Lanlan in Antai Street! It's true, Capt. Liao, please believe me."

Lao Liao frowned and ignored the other party's shouting.

After walking out of the prison, Lao Liao hesitated whether to trust Zheng Shanqi again, when a government official came in a hurry.

"Captain Liao, a fool came to report the crime."

"Report a crime?"

Lao Liao looked confused, "What case are you reporting?"

The officer said: "He said he saw someone throwing corpses and killing people in Yunhu Lake the night before yesterday. The murderer was Zhao Wancang from Dongping Street. The person who was sunk into the lake was a woman who looked very much like his wife."
