Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

The village chief and the Liu family began to reveal to the county magistrate that although their son was a fool, he was caring and obedient.

"Don't worry about this, I will do my best to bring the murderer to justice."

The holy father, the magistrate, appeased the village head and his wife, and then asked the man of the Hua family, "Is everything the village head said true?"

"Master, some details are not true."

Hua Ni's father knelt on the ground, his legs were in an awkward position, even so, his forehead was sweating from the pain, and his lips turned white from biting.

He was in a coma, and the village chief gave ginseng whiskers, not ginseng, and the process was not selfless giving, but preaching to his wife how miraculous ginseng whiskers are, which can bring death back to life.

At that time, his wife, Mrs. Zhou, was already frightened and stupid. She felt that the sky was falling, and her only wish was to wake him up, so she agreed to the village chief's condition without hesitation. After one year, she would pay him a few taels of silver.

If you can't afford it, use Huani to pay off the debt.

A year later, who knows? Mrs. Zhou just wanted to settle everything in front of her first, and let's talk about the future.

He woke up, and the family lost a strong laborer.

Zhou wanted to make money to pay off his debts, so he often worked on the official road, but there was no one to take care of him at home, and Hua Ni was still young, so she couldn't leave.

He only went to the official road to sell things a few times. Under the instruction of the village chief, the Zhou family was squeezed out.

"My lord, a distinguished guest came to my house yesterday. The distinguished guest has already returned the ginseng beard to the village chief for us. The village chief's son is dead. Why do you insist on insisting that we did it?"

Only Hua Ni and the distinguished guest went out yesterday, fetching water from the river near the village, because the sky was dark and afraid of rain, they came back in a hurry.

And then, never went out.

With so many people in the family and so many pairs of eyes, does the family have time to commit crimes? Don't say anything about collaborating with outsiders to jointly commit crimes. The nobleman passing by and the Hua family just met once, so there is no reason to do it, and there is no motive.

Zhou sorted out her thoughts and tried to speak in an orderly manner.

"It makes sense."

After hearing this, the Holy Father Magistrate nodded thoughtfully. The ginseng whiskers owed to the village chief will give him more ginseng whiskers a year later. There is nothing wrong with doing so.

The two settled, the Hua family had no reason to kill the fool, why bother?

The county magistrate frowned and pondered, always feeling that the village head should not be allowed to influence this murder case, and he must have missed something.

"My lord, Wu Zuo..."

An official came to the court and whispered a few words next to the magistrate, and the magistrate nodded after listening.

From Wu Zuo's place, the time of death and the method of killing were roughly inferred.

"Bring Wu Zuo to the court!"

The master next to him yelled, and soon, Wu Zuo entered through the back door, followed by the officials carrying the body, which was wrapped in a layer of white cloth.

In Daqi, the dead are the most important, so most of them don't know how to dissect the corpse. Wu Zuo has his own autopsy techniques.

Seeing the white cloth, Liu Shi went crazy at that time, knelt and crawled forward, and was stopped by the officials before rushing to the corpse.

"Bold woman, the dead body is also evidence, you must not destroy physical evidence!"

Wu Zuo is a small old man with a serious complexion than the magistrate's master. He has not seen the light all year round and his face is pale. At this moment, he is wearing a black suit and standing in the front row.

Liu Shi flinched in fright, fearing that it would affect the handling of the case, she finally dared not move again.

"My lord, the deceased was suffocated to death after being covered by someone's mouth, then thrown into the river, and washed to the bank by the current."

After the death of the deceased, the fool smashed the part of the deceased with a stone in an obvious act of venting his anger. He threw the person into the river because he didn't want the body to be discovered so quickly.

As for the time of death, it was dark last night and just after it rained, with an error of no more than an hour.

"Initial judgment, the murderer should be an adult man, at least one of them may be a partner in committing the crime."

After Wu Zuo finished speaking, he glanced at Hua Ni's father, and then said to the magistrate, "It can't be him, his legs are struggling to walk."

"Why do you conclude that the person was suffocated first?"

Didn't he just drown in the river? Now, Liu was shocked. If the murderer was not the Hua family, who else would have revenge against her family?

"I told you, do you understand?"

Wu Zuo glanced contemptuously at Mrs. Liu. The judgment in this aspect is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, so he just said something simple.

If people fall into the water before death, people will struggle out of instinct, and then there will be sand and other things in their hands, and then they will inhale too much water, causing suffocation and lung edema.

But the deceased was smothered to death first, but it was different. After death, he could not breathe, and there was not much water in his lungs and stomach. Another thing, there were bruises left by his fingers behind the ears of the deceased.

As for why it is judged that there may be two murderers, it is even simpler, because by the river in the village, there are people coming and going, fetching water, washing clothes, no one to watch the wind, dare to do it casually?

Wu Zuo's words are easy to understand and well-organized, and Li Haitang can't help but praise them.

In this way, the scope was narrowed down, the murderer must be someone who was familiar with the deceased or the village chief's family.

Yesterday, except for Li Haitang and his party who stayed in the village, there were no outsiders in the village. Obviously, the murderer was among those dozens of households.

"Also, why did the other party smash that part? What did your son do, or, your family did..."

Wuzuo's eyes were sharp, and after saying that he was judging, he just flung his sleeves and left, not at all for Mr. Tozhi County.

After hearing this, the county magistrate knocked on the hall wood, "Mr. Liu, can your family make enemies with others?"

"How is it possible..."

Liu's eyes rolled, her son was wandering outside every day, who knows what he did, he threw an old woman down, took off his pants, and almost succeeded..."

Afterwards, not only did she not admit her mistake, but she even insulted the aunt. If she succeeded, her son would be the one who was wronged.

"Absurd, really absurd!"

The holy father was so angry that his face turned red. He can do this at a young age, um, don't be shameless, do things like this later, is it reasonable for parents?

"My lord, what the village chief said is true, we will testify to it!"

When the villagers heard about it, they looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering who the murderer was.

The aunt had already lost her wife, and a daughter married to another village. After being humiliated in public, she rolled up her package angrily and went to live with her daughter.

It happened that her daughter had a baby, and she avoided the limelight in other villages by serving confinement. And this is not a matter of glory, the big fool took off his pants and ran around, making the little daughter-in-law blush, it is difficult for the villagers to say this, because it is useless to say it, can you reason with a fool?
