Luo nine needles

Chapter 36

"hatred?"

"There must be hatred!"

Two women were rushing over, just hearing this question, they shouted hastily.

Wang Erqing looked at them with a frown.

The surrounding villagers were stopped outside, but just now two women clamored to come in.

"Master, it's Miss Qixing's employer." They shouted loudly, "Ah Qi, Ah Qi, are you alright?"

Wang Erqing took a look. As a low-level servant in Xu Cheng, everyone in the city recognized him.

One is the proprietress of Dongshi grocery store, and the other is the shopkeeper of Linglongfang.

employer?It seemed that the orphan girl was not very lonely either. He waved his hand and motioned for the guard to let her go. He also wanted to ask questions so that he could better understand the victim and solve the case better.

When the two women came, he didn't need to ask directly, they started chatting.

The grocery store proprietress has the loudest voice.

"Ah Qi sells her prey on the street. Her prey is fresh and cheap. Who may be jealous and try to embarrass her."

"That's right, I met her before. Shunde Lou bought her game and got harassed. Ah Qi had to avoid it."

After speaking, he looked at the mess around after the fire, and was angry, anxious and afraid, patting his legs and cursing.

"Oh, what a god! Murdered these two little girls."

Wang Erqing's ears hurt from being yelled at, and his voice was loud, but what he said was worthless, a few wild game, it's not enough to seek money and kill him, he looked at the shopkeeper of Linglongfang.

Compared to the noise of the proprietress of the grocery store, Mrs. Dong was much more reserved, frowning, and pulling Seven Star's master and servant to look up, down, left, and right.

"Did you get hurt? I already called the doctor, and the doctor will come soon." She said hurriedly, "How could this happen? I was scared to death when I heard people say that your house was on fire. "

When asking the villagers to go to the city to help report to the officials, Qixing also asked them to find Linglongfang and talk to the shopkeeper, Mrs. Dong.

"I asked them to apply for leave for me, so that the store would not know and delay the business." Qi Xing said, "It was my fault for frightening the lady."

Mrs. Dong was angry: "What are you talking about delaying business! Who cares about that! The most important thing is you!"

Hmm... It seems that the business related to Ah Qi is indeed not small. Wang Erqing still doesn't know that these kind-hearted shopkeepers only have money in their eyes.

He coughed and interrupted the shopkeeper to express his sincerity: "Let's talk about the business, this case..."

"Second Lord, this case is not about seeking wealth and murder, but seeking revenge." Mrs. Dong said bluntly without waiting for him to finish asking.

really!Wang Erqing frowned: "Oh?"

Madam Dong looked at Ah Qi, patted her hand lightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Just a joke, Mrs. Dong is not a teenager, and she doesn't understand what people mean when they tell her that something happened at home.

Also, the teens weren't stupid after all.

Previously, he rejected a wage increase and said a shelter for the source of food and clothing. It turned out that he didn't just talk about it casually.

When Mrs. Dong was woken up by a villager who said something had happened to Qixing girl at the foot of Xinghua Mountain, it was like a pot of water was poured down, and she suddenly realized and enlightened.

Got it, she got it all.

She looked at Qixing with meaningful eyes, little girl, it's not easy, it turns out that she really has a problem with others, and she wants to protect Linglongfang.

Of course, she is not angry, business, earning money, trading, this little girl dares, what dare she, Mrs. Dong!

Lady Dong withdrew her gaze, and looked at Wang Erqing again, her face was heavy.

"It's not so much an enmity with Miss Qixing, it's better to be an enmity with our Linglongfang."

Is that so?Wang Erqing's raised eyebrows fell, Linglongfang was very rich, and it was reasonable to seek his wealth.

"Miss Dong, please go to the Yamen with us and explain in detail." He said.

Mrs. Dong nodded: "That's natural."

The guards here began to tidy up the scene, loaded the deceased and the murder weapon into the car, and prepared to return to the Yamen.

Qixing and Qingzhi over there also simply cleaned up and prepared to follow. Although the next question became Mrs. Dong of Linglongfang, she naturally had to follow.

The proprietress of the grocery store also wanted to go, and she told Wang Erqing that she could testify that Qixing had been bullied for selling wild game in the market, and she might have enemies, so she was waved away by Wang Erqing.

"I also know about that enemy. It is Mr. 24 Lang from Ning's family who is playing prestige in the Shunde Building. The shopkeeper of the Shunde Building has already gone to the government to sue."

It's just that Ning Li had fallen from power at that time, and the shopkeeper of Shunde Building was just joining in the fun and stepping on it to add to the fun of the magistrate.

"Officer Ning is dead, and everyone else has been dispatched to leave Xu Cheng. Who can seek revenge on her."

"Go, go, don't make trouble."

The proprietress of the grocery store who didn't make any trouble went to help Qixing, asking if there was any bump and if she was afraid, she reached out to help tidy up Qixing's messy clothes, and lowered her voice when she got close.

"The owner said that the news you asked to inquire has come to fruition."

Qi Xing said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Auntie." She lowered her head slightly and let her approach her to adjust her dress.

……

……

A group of people entered the city. During these days, the people in the city were more vigilant. Seeing that there were soldiers and chariots and horses pulling dead people, they immediately flocked around to inquire.

"Which house was copied?"

"Who did it again?"

"There's a car behind, and there's a woman in the car?"

"Hey, if you can still ride in a car, then you are not a criminal."

"Who is sitting in the car? What case?"

In the midst of noisy discussions and inquiries, Wang Erqing kept his face sullen and did not reveal anything. He asked the guards to disperse the crowd and went straight to the yamen.

The mighty gate and the soldiers kept the people outside and cut off the sight of prying eyes.

But the case cannot be concealed.

Many villagers also followed, as well as the people who watched the fun along the way, and soon there was an uproar.

"Xinghua Village outside the city, killing and setting fire."

"The thief set fire to himself and burned himself to death for his fortune."

"Hey? What the hell, who killed whom? The robber killed himself?"

"That's too funny."

"It's not funny, it's really a murder for money, and the victim is the embroiderer of Linglongfang."

"What kind of fortune can a embroidered lady have?"

"Then who knows, wait for the interrogation by the officials."

"With the magistrate here, any case can be solved, even if the culprit is dead, he can't escape."

The one who shouted must be someone who is waiting for the prefect's favor, but the people who heard it did not break their smiles, their faces paled a little, and a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.

If it was in the past, such cases where the robbers were dead and no one was injured would be dismissed casually, let alone the magistrate, the officials in the yamen would not bother to bother.

But now after Ning Li's family raid case, everyone has already seen that this magistrate wants to make some achievements and win the reputation of a capable minister.

No matter how small the case is, you may have to intervene in person, and even if the robber is dead, it will not be settled. If you don't arrest a few and kill a few, how can you show the prestige of Master Qingtian.

The man couldn't stand anymore, glanced at the gate of the yamen, turned around and squeezed out the crowd and rushed away.

……

……

In the Lu family's mansion shrouded in darkness, except for the night watch, everyone else was asleep.

The servants who watched the night yawned and checked the candlelight gates, but there was nothing to see. The whole street belonged to the Lu family, with high walls and deep walls, so it was very safe.

He was thinking about where to sit down and sleep for a while, when he suddenly heard a crackling sound, and at the same time there was a shrill human voice "What—"

In the dark night, it was crying like a night owl ghost, and the night watchman's scalp was numb with fright, so he boldly searched for the sound, and saw that it was the master's bedroom.

He remembered that someone hurried in at the door just now, and he didn't take it seriously at first, the family business has grown, and there are many people running around day and night.

But now it seems that the person who came here brought some bad news?

The Lu family has been going smoothly in the past few years. Whether it's business or the children in the family, they have all skyrocketed. What could make the Elder Master lose his composure?
