After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 22 Female Corpse
Listening to the unabashed dispute between her aunt and mother, Qi Tanying felt embarrassed and helpless.

"Auntie, Auntie, stop arguing."

Only then did Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang remember that their daughter/niece was still there.

Qi Tanying took a deep breath, and looked at the two elders solemnly: "These days, you have worked so hard for A Tan's marriage, A Tan is very grateful, please accept A Tan's respect."

After the words fell, Qi Tanying knelt down, and Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang rushed to help.

Qi Tanying raised her head and looked at Mrs. Qi, "Auntie is right, twisted melons are not sweet. My previous marriage contract with my eldest cousin was just a verbal joke. Please don't hold on to this matter. Otherwise, Auntie If you are in trouble with your eldest cousin, the Changxing Palace will also mind if they know about it."

Of course Mrs. Qi understood this truth, she was just complaining.

Mrs. Jiang was very relieved when she heard the words, "A Tan is still sensible." She took her niece's hand and patted it, "Don't worry, my aunt will definitely find you a good marriage."

"Thank you, aunt."

Qi Tanying pretended to be shy and lowered her head, but her heart was very calm.

Since the dissolution of the engagement, although she has had disappointments and regrets, she has never been sad.

She didn't have any girlish feelings for Jiang Liangyu, she just felt that the Jiang family's unilateral termination of the contract seemed a little contemptuous of the Qi family.

If Mrs. Jiang hadn't treated each other sincerely these days, and Jiang Liangyu had obtained the admission qualification of Danfeng Academy for Qi Yukun, would she really not care?
It's just choosing the result that is beneficial to them.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know her niece's inner thoughts. After Qi Tanying and Yan Li failed to meet each other, she began to look for suitable young talents for her.

But somehow, the days passed, and there was no one suitable, and Mrs. Qi still urged her from time to time.

It gave Mrs. Jiang a headache.

Time flies to June. From the beginning of June, the sun is getting stronger and stronger, and the whole of Kyoto is shrouded in scorching heat.

On June [-]th, the birthday of Avalokitesvara, the sun was still shining brightly in front of the corner, but at noon, a strong wind blew up, dark clouds covered the sun, and the sky and earth were dark.

After about half a quarter of an hour, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, at first there were only a few sporadic ones, and after a while, they began to rain down densely.

A torrential downpour came.

The torrential rain lasted for a day and a night. After the rain stopped, the water of the Weishui River had overflowed the embankment. If the rain hadn't stopped in time, the street might have been flooded.

After the heavy rain, the silt and branches and leaves from the upper reaches of the Weishui River were washed downstream, causing the downstream river to be blocked and the upstream river to spread.

Wei Tiezhu, whose family has been engaged in dredging for generations, took his son and two other river dredgers to take over the dredging work. They swam in the lower reaches of the Weishui River with a small boat, and kept clearing the silted river.

At noon, the scorching sun made people dizzy and mouth dry. Wei Tiezhu took off the water bag and took a few sips of cold water, which made him feel more refreshed.

"This year it rained so badly. In previous years, Guanyin's birthday was always sunny. But this year, there was a torrential rain. It lasted a day and a night before it stopped."

As soon as he finished speaking, his son Wei Changgui said, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Hungry, the father and son ate a few steamed buns with cold water, and started dredging again after resting for half an hour.

Wei Changgui inserted the fishing net bag tied on the long bamboo pole into the water, scooped it backhand towards the direction of the water flow, and the net bag was filled to the brim.He poured out the remaining branches and leaves in the net bag, and when he was about to continue entering the water, he suddenly saw something in the pile of leaves.

He took a closer look, then put down the bamboo pole, squatted down to scrape away the leaves and mud, and a delicate gold earring appeared in front of his eyes.The earrings were drop-shaped, with a bright red gem inlaid in the middle, Wei Changgui weighed it, it was not light.

"Dad, dad, look what this is."

Wei Tiezhu followed the prestige, and after seeing the things in his hand, he patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "You are lucky, now we are rich."

Wei Changgui grinned, and carefully put away the earrings.

This earring inlaid with rubies made the Wei family father and son very motivated. Wei Changgui put down the net bag after bag, turning the sundries upside down every time, hoping to get some windfall money.

But often things backfire.

Seeing that his son was downcast, Wei Tiezhu threw him the bamboo pole tied with the iron hook, and asked him to hook the larger branches.

Wei Changgui plunged into the water with a pole, stirred in the water a few times, and suddenly felt something caught in the iron hook, so he pulled it up hard.

"Dad, Daddy."

Wei Tiezhu looked at him, and saw his son pointing to the river, "There is something under the water."

Wei Tiezhu hurried over to help. The father and son were so busy that they almost broke the bamboo pole, but they couldn't hook it up.Wei Changgui didn't believe in evil, so he took off the gown on his body, and stabbed it down.

After a while, Wei Changgui got out of the water, grabbed the side of the boat with both hands and rolled up.

His face was pale and his lips were trembling.

"Father, there are dead people down there."

Wei Tiezhu's eyes widened when he heard that, he was a father after all, and he was much calmer than his son.

"Are you reading that right?" He asked several times.

Wei Changgui was about to swear, Wei Tiezhu stopped.The father and son hurriedly rowed the boat to the shore, and hurried to Jingzhao Yamen to report the crime.

Zhang Yuying, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, has been very unlucky recently. In May, she was reprimanded by the Holy Master for the murder of the eldest daughter of the Tangling Palace.

The weather was hot in June, and there were a lot of big and small things in the Beijing office, which made him restless and bored.He was about to take a nap after lunch when he was awakened by an urgent voice as soon as he lay down.

The person who came was Song Dawei, chief arrester of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Sir, it's not good."

Zhang Yuying glared, "I'm fine."

"My lord, forgive me." Song Dawei hastily slapped his lips twice.

Zhang Yuying's face softened a little, and she asked, "What made you so fussy?"

Song Dawei hurriedly said: "A female corpse was fished out from the Weishui River."

Zhang Yuying's complexion changed drastically, she quickly got up from the couch, and asked while putting on her shoes, "Who found it? Where did you find it? Did Wu Zuo go for an autopsy?"

Song Dawei answered them one by one.

But there is one thing he didn't say, when the female corpse was picked up from the Weishui River, many people saw it, and now it is probably spread all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

When Zhang Yuying and Song Dawei arrived at Yizhuang, Wu Zuo was doing an autopsy.As soon as he entered, a strong and pungent rancid smell made him almost spit out the overnight meal.

"Why is it so stinky?" He pinched his nose tightly and asked.

Wu Zuo quickly replied: "After the female corpse died, it was soaked in the bottom of the water for a long time, and the corpse was already rotten. In addition to the hot weather, the decay rate of the corpse intensified after exposure to light."

Zhang Yuying frowned, "Can you be sure when he died? Did he fall into the water by mistake or was murdered by others?"

Wu Zuo said that the time of death still needs a detailed autopsy to draw a conclusion.

Another question was answered by Song Dawei. He said that he was sure that the female corpse was murdered to death because a huge stone was tied to the corpse before it was salvaged.

Therefore, after the heavy rain, the high water level of the Weishui River failed to wash the corpse to the surface.

The corpse of the woman was so decomposed that her appearance could no longer be identified clearly. Zhang Yuying immediately ordered Song Dawei to investigate the case file of the missing woman in Kyoto in recent months and find out the identity of the corpse as soon as possible.

Coming out of Yizhuang, Zhang Yuying looked up at the sky, only to see the blue sky and the scorching sun, but his heart was full of gloom.For some reason, after seeing the nameless female corpse, he always had an ominous premonition.
