Chapter 54

The exhaustion in Jia Jincheng's heart deepened. Seeing his wife's obese body wriggling on the ground like a meat worm, he hesitated to speak, turned his face away without saying a word, turned inside, took out the silver bag from the cabinet, and put it in the cupboard. into the arms, turned around and went out the door again,

"Father, where are you going?"

San Lian chased him out and asked him, Jia Jincheng replied,
"Look for a quiet place to sleep..."

After saying that, he went out without looking back, leaving Xiang Shi crying and San Lian at a loss.

In fact, Jia Jincheng had nowhere to go, he just walked back to the yamen with his money bag in his pocket. He couldn't stay in the office of the yamen servants, but there was an examination room for corpses in the yamen, and now there was only a female corpse with a broken stomach lying there. At this time, the weather was warm and cold, and the female corpse had a slight rancid smell, which had been smoked with drugs. Jia Jincheng had already gotten used to the smell, so he didn't find it unpleasant!

This room entered the examination room, found a clean mortuary bed and collapsed, not long after, the sound of snoring was heard. Some people in the yamen passed by the examination room, and they were startled when they heard the snoring inside.
"What's the matter... This dead body can still snore?"

An old official who knew Jia Jincheng laughed.

"Heh... what do you unmarried boys know...sometimes this man...would rather sleep with a dead body than a woman!"

The bystanders couldn't help laughing when they heard it,
"Old man, you are joking, what's the point?"

It's not good to hug this hot woman, but to accompany the cold dead body, what is Jia Wuzuo's hobby?

The old official sighed and said, in the tone of someone who came here,
"No reason, just for the sake of peace!"

……

Jia Jincheng fell asleep in the inspection room, and when he got up again, he felt refreshed. He looked at the weather outside, and it was time to go to the office. He got up and straightened his clothes. The female corpse turned around and left the examination room, and walked outside the yamen, but saw two women at the door, one with a miserable face, wiping away tears, the other supporting her companion, talking to the yamen guard, the yamen guard shook his head repeatedly.

Jia Jincheng knew that his family must have committed a crime, and wanted to ask the yamen servants to accommodate him, but the gate of the yamen was open to the south, and he was not allowed to come in without money, let alone a crime, how could the family see people without money?
He was planning to take a detour, but unexpectedly, one of the women saw him and shouted loudly,

"Jia Wuzuo! Jia Wuzuo..."

Jia Jincheng turned his head and took a closer look. It was actually the widow of the Sun family. Seeing him, the widow of the Sun family hurriedly helped the woman beside him over.
"Jia Wuzuo, I went home to look for you, but your Sanlian said that you went out, and I don't know where you went, so I can only find here to try..."

Jia Jincheng glanced at the woman next to the widow of the Sun family,

"You are..."

When the widow of the Sun family heard his question, she couldn't help sighing.

"This is my natal cousin, and Lai Dongsheng is in charge of her family..."

"Oh……"

Suddenly, Jia Jincheng glanced at the woman, who saluted Jia Jincheng,
"Jia Wuzuo..."

But she didn't say a word, she started crying again, the widow of the Sun family saw her like this, she couldn't talk about anything, so she spoke for her,

"Jia Wuzuo, my cousin wants to go in and meet Lai Dongsheng..."

Jia Jincheng frowned, and glanced at the yamen servant at the door,

"This place is not a place to talk, let's find a place to talk!"

The widow of the Sun family thought for a while and asked,
"Are you coming home from Yaya?"

Jia Jincheng hesitated and nodded, the widow of the Sun family said happily,

"That's the case, then... let's go back to Yanghua Hutong and talk about it in detail?"

Jia Jincheng nodded and let the two women go first, while he found a small shop on the street, ordered a small dish, served it with a pot of turbid wine, ate a bowl of rice, and then slowly returned to Yanghua Hutong, he made up his mind to ignore Xiangshi these few days, and he didn't want to eat at home anymore!

Jia Jincheng went back to Yanghua Hutong, the noodle stall at the entrance of the alley was closed early, he went in and passed the door of his own house, but without turning his head, he went straight to Sun's house, the widow of Sun's family and her cousin had been waiting anxiously Seeing him standing still in front of the door, he rushed out to meet him.

"Please come in quickly..."

Jia Jincheng was concerned that there were two women in the room, and it was difficult to enter the room, so he said,
"Let's talk in the yard!"

The widow of the Sun family is single now, and it is the time when she is afraid of rumors, if it is not for her cousin, she would not dare to talk to Jia Jincheng, so the three of them sat in the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and Jia Jincheng sat down and asked that woman,
"Elder Sister, we are familiar with each other, we are now renting the yard from your house..."

The woman cried,
"Jia Wuzuo, I heard from the head of the family that the yard in the city was rented out to a family surnamed Jia. Yesterday, a yamen servant came to report that my head of the family had killed someone in the city and had already been taken to prison. , my eldest son entered the city with me, but...just..."

It's just that Lai Dongsheng's eldest son found out that his father was going into the flowers when he was old, and somehow killed his concubine, who still had a newly formed baby in her belly. Hearing this, Lai's eldest son felt thunder rolling above his head, A flash of lightning made him scorched from head to toe, he gritted his teeth and cursed,

"He did such a shameful thing, how will we brothers see people in the future!"

The old man of the Lai family left the city immediately, not wanting to care about his old man's messy affairs, but Lai Dongsheng's first wife, Yao Shi, was like a son. They are husband and wife for many years, no matter how bad he is, he is still her husband, so why should he go to see him after being sent to prison like this, and ask him clearly!

Now the son is so angry that he doesn't care about it. The Yao family doesn't know what to do. She finally remembered that there was another cousin married to the Sun family in the city, so she looked for it. After the widow of the Sun family heard about it, she hurriedly took her there. I found Jia Jincheng, but Jia Jincheng was not at home, and Xiang Shi was crying in the yard, and he was so angry that he couldn't get out of his stomach.

The widow of the Sun family had something to do and didn't bother with her, so she led her cousin back out, and it was San Lian who chased her out and told her,

"My father went out, and I don't know where he went, but I guess I can find him in the yamen, you go and try..."

The two came to the gate of the yamen, and happened to meet Jia Jincheng...

"Jia Wuzuo... Look at this, but you can think of a way for us to go in and meet my cousin-in-law..."

Speaking of the word "cousin-in-law", the widow of the Sun family gritted her teeth secretly. According to her temperament, she didn't want to care about it, but her cousin was crying miserably, and she said she killed someone. What is the situation? You have to ask to know, right?
Jia Jincheng nodded,
"It's not difficult to do, it's just..."

He pondered for a while, and finally told the truth,
"However...you need to pay for it..."

Mrs. Yao didn't understand, but the widow of the Sun family did. She nodded and said,

"Money is indispensable to open the joints, how much money is needed, just tell me..."

Jia Jincheng thought for a while and said,
"Three or five taels of silver are missing, and more than ten taels of silver are added..."

The widow of the Sun family frowned when she heard this, but Yao cried even more fiercely. While crying, she reached out her hand to touch her waist, took out a money bag, and poured it on the table. After scanning, the total is only three taels of silver,

"I... I only have so much!"

Yao cried,

"The former Sanlang got married and borrowed a lot of money. The family still owes debts. There are only so many people who can take out their hands!"

Jia Jincheng sighed,

"Forget it, let's leave it at that. I'll go to the Yamen tomorrow, and I'll think of a way for you. You wait for news from me at home!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and collected the silver, the two women stood up and saluted him, Jia Jincheng waved his hand,
"Landlord Lai and I have also known each other for many years, so we have some affection. This matter can help you as much as you can!"

If Lai Dongsheng really killed someone, with the financial resources of the Lai family, it is absolutely impossible to save his life, then he can only do what he wants!
Yao quickly said,

"It's a great kindness for you to help..."

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears with his sleeves,
"If he really violated the king's law, he should be dealt with by the king's law. I... I will go to see him, and it will be all the love of husband and wife for these years!"

Jia Jincheng sighed, turned around and walked out at the two of them.

That night when Jia Jincheng returned home, he didn't give Xiang a good face at all. Si Lian and the others knew from San Lian that their parents had another quarrel at home. Wu Lian and Liu Lian stomped their feet in distress.
"Such good clothes, why did dad burn them!"

Si Lian sighed, and glanced at San Lian,
"Third sister, I feel that father and mother can't stand it anymore!"

Sanlian was a little worried,
"Father, you're not really divorced, are you?"

Silian remained silent...

There was nothing to say all night after that, Sanlian could no longer be lazy this time, and got up early in the morning to go out with Silian, but Wulian and Liulian breathed a sigh of relief and slept in bed for a while. After Jia Jincheng got up, he did as usual If you don't eat at home, you won't look at Shi more, and feel more disgusted in your heart.

After he got up, he went to the entrance of the alley. After having breakfast at the stall, he went to the Yamen. Fortunately, he was an old man for many years.

"You tell them to come back later after leaving the office!"

The jailer said, Jia Jincheng nodded, spent two copper coins to ask the handyman to go back to Yanghua Hutong, and told the news to the widow of the Sun family. He led them to the prison gate and handed them over to the jailer, and he waited outside.

He waited outside for about half an hour, when Yao's eyes were red and swollen from crying and the widow of the Sun family came out, Yao saluted him,
"Jia Wuzuo, our head of the family begs you to go in and see him, he said he has something to tell you..."

Jia Jincheng was surprised,
"What did he say to me?"

Yao shook his head,

"I don't know, he just said that he must see you..."

Jia Jincheng was a little hesitant. This was a murder case, and Lai Dongsheng's friendship with him was only superficial, so he couldn't afford to be involved in such muddy water.
