Chapter 11 Let the dead body identify the murderer

When Chu Wanying heard the sound, she looked back and saw the man hurriedly coming in from outside.

"Dad, please take Wanying home first. Just leave it to me," Rong Zhan said to Old Rongtou, then walked to the center of the hall, ignored the eyes of several people around him, walked straight to her and helped her up, "How are you? Are you injured?"

The man's palm was warm, and Chu Wanying could feel the burning heat in the other person's body through the fabric of his clothes.

Frowning, looking up at him.

Sure enough, the man's face was weaker than before, his thin lips were dry and pale, and there was an unnatural redness on both sides of his cheekbones.

Seeing that she did not respond for a while, Rong Zhan just stared at him, guessing that she was still young, maybe she was shocked by the scene and did not come back to her senses for a moment.

He took out a dagger and cleaned up all the bonds on her body. Rong Zhan raised his hand and patted her head. His tone was so gentle that he could pinch out water, as if he was coaxing the little baby, "Be good, go home with dad first, I'm here."

Chu Wanying got rid of the constraints and his first action was to hold the man's hand. The man's palm was very big, the palm was hot and dry, and there were thin calluses on it.

Have a fever?

Somehow, at the moment when she was facing her eyes, Rong Zhan actually heard what was in her heart.

"It's not a problem, handle Xing Cuicui's affairs first." Rong Zhan pulled his hand back from her without saying a word.

From the last time this girl saved him, she knew that she knew some medical skills. She was afraid that she would see something by holding her hand, so she hurriedly pulled her hand back.

Chu Wanying didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that the man was holding his hands so straightforward and neatly, he still thought that he didn't like his touch, so he had to withdraw his hands awkwardly.

He sighed in his heart, it was really a dog who bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the good people's hearts. She is still worried about his body.

By the way, is it too quiet around?

Only then did Chu Wanying notice the excessive tranquility around her.

I don’t know if it was because Rong Zhan’s aura was too strong, the hall became quiet in an instant after he appeared.

Chu Wanying glanced around and saw that they were all looking at him and Rong Zhan with an inquiring look, but none of them dared to speak.

This is really strange!

Could there be any conspiracy?

The audience was silent, but Chu Wanying's heart was beating like a drum.

"Wanying, let's go! Don't worry, Zhan'er will definitely handle the matter." Lao Rongtou walked up and helped her arm, wanting to take her away.

Chu Wanying did not resist, and she really couldn't help here, so she followed Lao Rong out of the Lizheng family.

Before leaving the door, Lao Rongtou whispered to her ear and said something.

Chu Wanying's eyes were stunned and then nodded.

The two of them sneaked away while others were not on them.

On the way, Lao Rongtou said with a serious expression, "Wanying, Xing Cuicui's body is now in the old Xing family. While they have not come back, we have to go over and see the situation."

When Chu Wanying heard this, she was shocked.

Is this a autopsy?

Yes, the best way to remove suspicion is to go and see the body.

He didn't dare to hesitate, and Chu Wanying followed him quickly.

—————

"Li Zheng, just let the person go?" Some villagers couldn't help but ask.

Since Rong Zhan appeared, Li Zheng has been staring at him, looking a little unnatural. He heard someone ask and nodded, "Well, let's go, anyway, where can people go?"

"That's right..." a villager echoed.

"Anyway, Rong Zhan is here, and that mute can't escape even if he wants to run away!" Old Xing also recovered at this time and looked angry at Rong Zhan.

If it weren't for this person's identity, how could he let Chu Wanying go easily?

The reason why everyone is so determined to Rong Zhan is because he is the only juren in Yunluo Village.

Although the Great Yan Kingdom is martial, its status as a civil servant is not low.

If he passed the imperial examination, he would have entered the career of officialdom with half his feet. Therefore, even the magistrate would have to give in to Rong Zhan, let alone a small official.

"Ahem," Li Zheng cleared his throat at this point, "Okay, okay, everyone is quiet."

Everyone's attention was successfully called back, and he said to the man standing in front of him with a proud look on his face, "The person has left, what should I do?"

The murder is said to be big or small. In the past, it happened occasionally, and it was solved within the village. Generally, the ancestors were used to severely punish the murderers to serve as a warning, and few things were caused to the government.

First of all, if the government is alarmed, the procedures will be quite troublesome, and after reporting them layer by layer, the matter will probably be delayed for one or two months.

Secondly, the villagers living in Yunluo Village have long been accustomed to this "family law". If outsiders intervene, they will not adapt. If they offend the county magistrate, then his position as the official in the village will be considered to have ended.

But since Rong Zhan was involved in this matter, I am afraid that it would be impossible not to notify the county magistrate?

Li Zheng was hesitating about how to decide this matter. Rong Zhan, who was beside him, looked at him faintly and said, "Li Zheng doesn't have to worry. This matter is still the same as before, and you will handle it alone."

The implication is that you don’t have to make a big deal?

After understanding what he meant, the stone in his heart finally landed on the ground.

He was also a tactful person and smiled, "You should be thoughtful, okay, don't worry, I will handle this matter impartially and never be favored!"

Old Xing and Aunt Xing didn't understand what they said, but they also realized that Li Zheng didn't mean to be biased towards them. Their faces froze, and they winked each other. Then Old Xing walked out first, pointed at Rong Zhan and said, "That mute is your wife, you will protect her! What about my daughter? Is it so useless?"

Aunt Xing echoed on the side, "That's right! Li Zheng! You can't be biased towards Rong Zhan just because he is a juren!"

When Rong Zhan heard their words, his peach blossom eyes were chilling and he sneered, "Why do you conclude that people were killed by Wanying? Did you see it?"

"What are you talking nonsense about, you guys! If I see it, can you let that bitch kill my daughter?! You won't even eat the tiger's poison!" What's more, the daughter who is about to be sold to the Huo family.

When she thought of the Huo family's generous bride price was about to be ruined, Aunt Xing felt even more and more panicked, and tears flowed down her face involuntarily, crying and shouting, "My poor daughter! You died so miserably... Woo woo..."

When Rong Zhan heard her crying, he felt that the woman was so scoundrel, and frowned, "Since I didn't see it, how can you be sure that she killed the person? Is it just because she stands there?"

"What? Isn't this enough?" Old Xing slapped the table, his face flushed with anger. "It's so late. If she wasn't the murderer, why would she go to that place for nothing? Whose daughter is not at home so late? She is wandering around in the back mountain at night!"

Rong Zhan silently murmured his eyes and bent his lips, "Who said she belongs alone?"

"She went to the back mountain to find me."

—————

Chu Wanying followed Lao Rongtou to the door of the Xing family, and the latter said to her, "Now, only Xing Fangfang and Xing Xiaowu should be at home. I'll go in and see the situation, you can go home first."

After saying that, he would raise his legs and turn over the wall.

But she moved faster, grabbed the corner of his clothes, pursed her lips, and looked at him steadily.

Lao Rongtou looked at her watery deer eyes, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He knew her intention, and it was inconvenient to bring this girl into the Xing family.

Just as he was thinking about going home first, he asked Zhao to drag her and find an excuse to go out to the Xing family to investigate the situation later, the door of the Xing family suddenly opened, and a girl in white mourning clothes walked out of it. Judging from her age, she should be Xing Fangfang.

Xing Fangfang looked at them with a quiet expression.

If it weren't for the redness of his eyes, Chu Wanying would have thought this girl was a puppet and she wouldn't have any popularity!

"Are you going to come in?"

The girl suddenly spoke, which surprised them.

"Can we go in? Take a look." Old Rong pointed inside, without saying the words Xing Cuicui's body.

Xing Fangfang nodded slightly, "Yes." After saying that, she turned around and took them into the yard.

A smell of rotten corpse came to his face, and Chu Wanying covered her mouth and nose.

With such a strong stench, the death time cannot be so short.

The yard was covered with a pile of rags, and there was everything they had, and there was almost no place to stand at the foot. Only a wooden board was placed in the center of the yard with a piece of white cloth on it.

Xing Cuicui's body is here.

She had seen so many corpses in her previous life, which had already made her numb, but she still had to do some facial skills.

Old Rong bowed to the corpse a few times, and Chu Wanying also followed his actions.

"Can I see?" Lao Rong asked the girl carefully, for fear of making her sad.

But the latter seemed to be completely indifferent, looked indifferent, raised his eyes and said to him, "Can you help Sister Cui find the real murderer?"

Judging from this, do you believe she is not the murderer?

Chu Wanying then looked at her curiously and saw that she should be about the same age as hers, with a beautiful face, and indeed a rare beauty.

Seeing her gaze, Xing Fangfang looked over without hesitation and said word by word at her, "You can't be the murderer."

Old Rongtou said strangely, "Why are you so sure?"

Xing Fangfang lowered her eyes, as if she remembered something terrible, and shivered and said, "Sister Cui was killed by a man."

—————

"You said she went to the back mountain to find you?" Old Xing felt that this excuse was awkward and said angrily, "You, he, do you mother treat us as a fool? It's late at night, you are not at home, why are you going to the back mountain to do?"

Other villagers echoed, "That's right! You are all married. If you are not at home at night, why are you going to the back mountain for? "

Rong Zhan said slowly, "I have lived in the temple in the back mountain these days. I am busy with my homework during the day and have time at night. Wanying came out last night to meet me. Do you have any questions?"

"But...even so, it cannot prove that the mute did not kill anyone!" The wording was being carefully considered, "This is all your one-sided words. We all saw her standing next to Xing Cuicui's body, but this is not fake."

"Since that's the case," Rong Zhan's eyes sank for a moment, "Why would you rather let Xing Cuicui identify the murderer by herself?"
