Chapter 91

Some people refused to listen to it,

"Miss Liu, we are almost done with this job, you...how do you pay your wages?"

Mrs. Liu replied,
"The wages are naturally settled on a daily basis!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news, they only worked for half a day, they were settled according to one day, they were naturally happy, they all packed up their things, filed out, and in the end only Jia Silian and Liu Niangzi were left standing in the ice cellar, you looked at me , Silian's expression was as usual, and she even wanted to pull Mrs. Liu to see the ice room where she found her finger, but Mrs. Liu turned pale, and pulled her back up with shaking hands.

"This matter...I...I have to report it to the shopkeeper..."

Mrs. Liu pulled Silian and said,
"Silian, you discovered this matter, and I need to trouble you to explain it to our shopkeeper personally..."

Jia Silian was a little embarrassed,
"My family doesn't know that I come here to do odd jobs. If I go back late..."

This matter looked like a homicide case. The previous case was either an acquainted neighbor or a relative at home, but the shopkeeper of the ice cellar had no relationship with her, and was just a helper. Jia Silian really didn't want to get involved.

Helplessly, Mrs. Liu held her tightly, begging her all the time,
"Good Silian, I'm timid, and I don't dare to go in and take a look. Just wait... The shopkeeper is talking to people outside, I've already sent someone to call..."

Jia Silian said,

"I'm afraid the shopkeeper won't be able to do this, so I have to report to the officials, and let the government send people over to take a look..."

Even if there is a homicide case, you should call the people from the government to bring a foreman to come to have a look, and then find out where the rest of the owner of the finger is, whether it is scattered around, or the whole person is lying in a corner...

Mrs. Liu shook her head again and again, waved her hands and said,
"It can't be like this. If the report is reported to the official and the matter becomes serious, the business of our shop will be over!"

Jia Silian just sighed when she heard the words, and asked her,

"If someone really killed someone and hid the corpse in the ice cellar, if you don't report it to the government, if the government investigates it later, it will be a crime of not reporting it..."

Jia Silian didn't understand the laws of Daqing, but there was always a father who worked in the yamen. After listening to Jia Jincheng talk about the case for a long time, he also knew some rules of the government's handling of cases, so he persuaded Mrs. Liu,
"You'd better let the shopkeeper report to the officer. If something happens in the future, you won't be implicated. If not... If it is found out that there is a murder case in this shop in the future, maybe you will be treated as accomplices and thrown into prison..."

Mrs. Liu smiled wryly,

"Girl Silian, I can't decide this matter, I'd better wait for the shopkeeper to come back..."

While talking, the person sent outside called the shopkeeper back. The shopkeeper of the ice shop is a middle-aged man in his forties, white and fat, with a face like dough, and he speaks kindly

"Miss Liu, what are you calling me back in such a hurry?"

Lady Liu had a bitter face, and she didn't care about the defense between men and women, she stretched out her hand and pulled him in, and spread the things Jia Silian showed him on the table, when the shopkeeper saw him, the corners of his eyes twitched, and the fat on his face trembled a few shakes,
"This... what is this thing, you... where did you find it?"

Lady Liu pushed Jia Silian out,
"This is the young lady of the Jia family who works as a helper here. This thing...is discovered by her..."

The shopkeeper took a look at Jia Silian,
"Where... where did you find this... this thing?"

Jia Silian then told how she saw the finger, the fat flesh on the shopkeeper's face trembled even more, she gritted her teeth for a while,

"Go... let's go down and have a look..."

After all, he personally led the two of them down to the ice cellar, but he was still afraid when he got out of the ice cellar, so he pushed Si Lian to the front. In the room, the fat shopkeeper bravely held a torch and watched carefully in the corner. Suddenly, he yelled, his face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and the sweat on his forehead was visible to the naked eye. whispered,
"Also...and..."

The fat shopkeeper pointed to the corner. There was a pile of crushed ice in the dark corner. There seemed to be something long and dark in one piece of ice. I pulled it a few times,

"Wow..."

There was a sound of broken ice, and the bodies of the fat shopkeeper and Mrs. Liu also trembled, and then they watched Jia Silian pull out a broken arm,

"what……"

Mrs. Liu took a look, she screamed at that time, rolled her eyes to the sky and fell to the ground, after all, the fat shopkeeper was a man, and he didn't have the face to imitate Mrs. Liu when she fainted, took two steps back, and said with trembling lips,
"You... you are... not afraid at all?"

Jia Silian blinked and replied,
"My...father is a clerk in the yamen..."

The fat shopkeeper's eyes were stunned for a short time after being frightened, and he didn't know if he heard it, but he just nodded blankly. It was cut off from the shoulder, but the broken foot was cut off from the knee.

The fat shopkeeper had already shrunk in the corner and dared not look at it. After Mrs. Liu fainted, she woke up and saw the thing in front of her. She rolled her eyelids and passed out again. Jia Silian said to the fat shopkeeper,
"Shopkeeper, I'm afraid I'll have to report this matter to the officials..."

There are two arms and one broken foot. The person must be gone. No matter how hard you search, you can still find the body and head. This is a murder case!

The fat shopkeeper is the same as Mrs. Liu, the first thing that comes to mind is business, he waved his hands repeatedly,

"No, no... If this matter gets out, our business will fail!"

In this room, I went to help Mrs. Liu, and invited Jia Silian to say,
"Help me, little lady, bring these... these things to the top!"

He really didn't dare to touch these stumps, he helped Lady Liu to stand aside, watched Jia Silian find a wooden bucket without changing expression, put those things in it and held them in his hand,
"Let's go!"

The three of them went to the ground, and the fat shopkeeper sent the people outside, leaving the three of them to look into the bucket. The front was dimly lit in the ice cellar and they couldn't see clearly. Now, let's look carefully at the contents of the bucket in broad daylight , Now I can see clearly that the two arms, the broken foot and the fingers on the front have been frozen in the ice for an unknown amount of time. It was hard and hadn't been frozen yet. Turning it over and looking at the fracture, the fracture was neat and tidy, obviously it was chopped off by someone with a heavy knife.

Moreover, this knife is clean and sharp, very experienced, the blood vessels and muscles at the fracture site have shrunk and shriveled due to being frozen for a long time, exposing the white bones and tendons in the middle, looking at the horror, Jia Silian fiddled with it and said to the fat shopkeeper,

"The shopkeeper, let's report to the official. It looks like someone chopped off his arms and feet with a knife. I don't know if he killed the person in the ice cellar or somewhere else, and then moved the body to the ice cellar. Yes, if you don’t report it to the government... If you let the people in the government know about it, you won’t be able to escape the guilt..."

The fat shopkeeper gave a wry smile,
"I can't be the master of this matter!"

He has an employer above him!

Jia Silian couldn't say more when she heard the words, she just nodded and said,

"Even if I have explained the matter to you, and I have found it for you, then I...should go home!"

If you don't go back, Xiangshi will know that you are doing private work outside, so you will be beaten and scolded again!
The fat shopkeeper nodded, thought for a while, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and said,

"This matter today, please don't spread the word, little lady!"

Jia Silian refused to accept,
"Don't worry shopkeeper, I won't talk nonsense..."

At most, he was talking to his own father. When the fat shopkeeper saw that she didn't accept it, he only thought that she wanted to keep the secret and threaten him in the future, so his face sank slightly, and he added another ingot,

"Little lady, this matter is deeply involved. It's not for people like the little lady to get involved. Please ask the little lady to collect the money and go back to buy some flowers. Forget about it!"

Jia Silian saw that if she didn't accept the money, the shopkeeper would be suspicious instead, so she nodded and accepted the money.
"Don't worry shopkeeper, I'm keeping my mouth shut!"

This box took the silver and turned around to leave, leaving the shopkeeper and Mrs. Liu to worry about the things in the bucket.
"This...how do we clean up this!"

Neither of them wanted to touch the contents of the bucket. Lady Liu finally came to her senses after being frightened, and ran into the house to find a piece of cloth to cover the bucket, and then asked someone to lift the bucket down again. Hidden in a hidden place, the shopkeeper ordered everyone to say,
"From now on, this cellar will be sealed, no one is allowed to enter without my nodding..."

Everyone didn't know why, but they were happy not to have to work, so they listened to the shopkeeper and closed the door of the ice cellar, and the shops outside couldn't do business. .

Not to mention that the fat shopkeeper closed the shop, turned around and took Liu Niangzi to see the owner, but said that Jia Silian came home, and as soon as he approached the entrance of Yanghua Hutong, he saw Xiang Shi standing there with his hips in the distance, looking around. He made a decisive decision, turned around and ran away, without letting Xiangshi see him at all.

She ran to the outside of the yamen, and the yamen guard saw her, but he knew her.
"Did Silian come to look for your father?"

Jia Silian nodded and stepped forward to salute,
"Please tell me, uncle..."

The yamen servant smiled and said,
"What to report, you go in and find him at home..."

Jia Silian thanked him again, then stepped in, and went straight to the inspection room, Jia Jincheng was playing with a swollen and white corpse in it at this time, when her daughter came over, she frowned, Ask Silian,

"But your mother is acting like a demon again?"

Jia Silian shook her head,
"Father, I'm going out to help people with odd jobs today..."

Talking about what happened today, Jia Jincheng frowned again, thought for a while and said to Jia Silian,

"You did the right thing. After collecting the money, it's sealed. Don't mention it to others in the future..."

Jia Silian wondered,
"Father, don't we just ignore it? Don't we need to report to the yamen?"

Jia Jincheng finally ate a few years more than his daughter, so he replied immediately,

"The people don't raise officials and don't investigate. Although murder cases are not included in this list, there are countless people who die every day in this huge capital city. The maids and women who were beaten to death in the gate of the mansion, and the aunts who were drugged. In the countryside outside the city, for a pool of living water, the whole village, old and young, are out to fight with weapons, which one is not a dead person, if all the piles have to be taken care of by the yamen, your father and I will die of exhaustion in this inspection room..."

Seeing that Jia Silian's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, Jia Jincheng said again,

"That shop is supposed to open for business. If you report to the government and things get out of hand, cutting off people's fortunes means murdering parents. Wouldn't it bring disaster to our family? Besides..."

Jia Jincheng took a small knife, held it in his hand, and said to his daughter,

"The things in that bucket are still in their hands, and most of them have been destroyed by now. Even if you report to the government and send people to investigate, if they can't find anything, they will charge you with a false accusation. How about it?"

Jia Silian was stunned for a while, then nodded,

"Father is right..."

But this is human life!Just deal with it so silently?
Jia Jincheng saw that although she agreed, but his expression was still unwilling, he sighed, patted her on the shoulder,
"Silian, you're still young, things in this world are like this, after working in father's business for a long time, seeing many things that you can't do what you want, your heart will harden!"

Jia Silian nodded again, silently took out the two ingots of silver from her bosom,

"Then this silver..."

Jia Jincheng took a look and found that the two ingots were about five taels, so he reached out and took one, leaving one for Jia Silian.
"Keep it for yourself, use it later!"

Jia Silian nodded and took back the money, then found a place to sit aside and watch Jia Jincheng's autopsy.
"Father, I'll go back with you!"

Jia Jincheng nodded. He knew that his fourth daughter was brave and not afraid of being frightened by him, so he cut open the stomach of the dead body and took out all the internal organs to check...

So Jia Silian stayed in Jia Jincheng's office, and the father and daughter went back to Yanghua Hutong together. When Xiang Shi saw Silian, he rushed over.
"I've turned you upside down, you bastard. You've grown so much now that you dare to wander outside. The stall at home is not guarded! Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"

After saying that, she raised her hand and hit, Jia Silian hid behind Jia Jincheng, Jia Jincheng frowned and shouted,
"I called Silian to go to the Yamen to help..."

I looked at the five lotus and six lotus on the stall again,

"Don't you have Wulian and Liulian to help you here, and it didn't delay your business, so you don't have to make trouble with your children!"

Seeing that Jia Jincheng was protecting Si Lian, Xiang's teeth itch with hatred.

"Now he doesn't see me as a human being anymore. He can't even beat his own girl. This man...how can this man be so cruel!"

It's been so many days since she said she turned her face, and she has been refusing to go back to her room to sleep, even if she stayed at home, her eyes never drifted to her, she just regarded her as a dead person!
No, he would look at dead people a few more times, and now he is not even as good as a dead person!

Feeling both grievance and resentment in her heart, Xiang gave Si Lian a vicious look, turned around and yelled at the two little ones,

"Hurry up and clean it up, do you want to wait for the old lady to do it?"

Si Lian hurried over to help Wu Lian and Liu Lian clean up the stall, the family went back, the three sisters lit a fire and cooked, Jia Jincheng went back to the house to rest, but Xiang Shi went out to find his son who was playing crazy outside and went home for dinner .

　Dear friends, there is only one update today, because Yiyu was wandering outside, and he drove home overnight last night. As a result... the car blew out on the highway, the right front wheel of the car was deflated, and the airbag popped out. Fortunately, the family was safe and sound. , and then...Yiyu didn't sleep all night, after a good rest, I will try to resume the update tomorrow. If it's not eight o'clock tomorrow morning, it will be late!
