After being gone for so long, Jiang Chunlan missed Su Dagui and Su Tieniu.
Instead of resting in the city, he rushed back to the mountain village overnight.
After returning home, I discovered that Su Dagui and Tieniu were not at home.
She thought that the two of them must have gone to Tieniu's maternal grandfather's house.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, I took my things and went to my parents' house.
Unexpectedly, I received Tieniu at my parents' house.
But he didn't see Su Dagui, so he only found out after asking.
As soon as she left, Su Dagui sent Tieniu back to her parents' home.
Thinking that Su Dagui would definitely not do anything good, Jiang Chunlan immediately went to the gambling house in the city.
Halfway through, I met two woodcutters.
He ran out of the woods carrying a corpse in a mess.
Jiang Chunlan almost fainted when she saw it.
Then, isn’t her family rich?
"Dagui, why did you become like this?
Oh my god, how am I going to live with Tieniu from now on!"
When the two woodcutter saw the real owner coming, they quickly explained.
"It's none of our business, we went to the woods to cut firewood and found this body.
You, you wait until we report to the official."
After a while, two woodcutters came with people from the county government.
The people from the county government did not dare to delay when they saw the case of human life.
He took the people back to the Yamen first.
After the autopsy was completed, Magistrate Zhang arrived belatedly.
Su Dagui was missing a hand, and at a glance he knew it was a trick from a gambling house.
He called people from the gambling house to come over and question him, but the people from the gambling house kept saying that he was wronged.
"Su Dagui borrowed the usury money and couldn't pay it back. I asked someone to give him some color to see.
But it was just a lesson, not a fatal blow.
Your Excellency is aware that since we have not taken back the money, we will not take his life anyway.
My man was also knocked unconscious and all the bones in his hand were broken.
I'm still lying in the hospital now, and I don't believe you, let me go and ask you.
Oh, by the way, listen to them.
At that time, I happened to meet Su Dagui's niece, and Su Dagui asked her to ask for money.
Call, what is it called?"
"Su Jinxiu."
"Is it Su Jinxiu again?"
Jiang Chunlan and Magistrate Zhang spoke at the same time, one gritting his teeth and the other frowning.
Thinking of Su Dagui's tragic death, Jiang Chunlan burst into tears.
"Sir, Su Jinxiu must be holding a grudge against me for taking you to her house.
But no matter what, my man is also her biological uncle.
It's really hateful that she did such a heartless thing.
I beg you, sir, to make the decision for civilian women and seek justice for my family!"
Magistrate Zhang's head aches, and he wonders if he had any grudge against Su Jinxiu in his previous life.
Most of the troubles caused by the county government were related to Su Jinxiu.
If it had been anything else, he would have passed away alive.
But this human life case cannot be taken lightly.
"Where is she now? Bring her for questioning.
That’s all, I’ll go there myself.”
Magistrate Zhang stood up and led his servants straight to Ruyi Restaurant.
Deng Damu and Zhang Qiushui were shocked when they saw the battle as soon as they opened the door.
Before they could inquire further, Magistrate Zhang ordered his servants to break into Su Jinxiu's yard.
Li Zhaodi was startled by the movement and covered her stomach with a pale face.
"What, what is this going to do?"
Jiang Chunlan stepped forward and stared at her fiercely.
"What are you doing? Your Su Jinxiu murdered his uncle.
The adults are coming here to take her to the Yamen to convict her.
Li Zhaodi, get out of the way quickly.
Otherwise, you will be charged with covering up."
After saying that, Jiang Chunlan stepped forward and pushed Li Zhaodi away.
He walked to the door of Su Jinxiu's room and slammed the door open.
Su Jinxiu rarely slept soundly that night, and was startled by the movement.
He turned over and sat up, but he still hadn't woken up.
"what happened?"
The moment Wang Jiu woke up on the ground, he protected Su Jinxiu behind him.
"Sister, don't be afraid."
Jiang Chunlan looked at Wang Jiuyi in shock, and then thought of her purpose.
Gritting his teeth, he stared at Su Jinxiu.
"Su Jinxiu, stop pretending.
You killed your third uncle, how can you still sleep?"
Su Dagui is dead? Su Jinxiu frowned slightly and looked at Wang Jiu who was standing in front of her.
Wang Jiu seemed to have guessed Su Jinxiu's thoughts and shook his head slightly.
"Sister, I haven't done anything you didn't allow me to do."
Thinking that Wang Jiu came back with her yesterday, Su Jinxiu felt confident.
"Why does Third Aunt say that I did it?"
Jiang Chunlan gritted her teeth and shouted outside.
"Sir, the personal and material evidence is conclusive, why don't you quickly arrest Su Jinxiu and bring him to justice?"
Upon hearing that Magistrate Zhang was coming, Su Jinxiu's hands tightened.
If he saw Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu would definitely be taken away.
Su Jinxiu stood up and wanted to block Wang Jiu.
But still a step too late, Magistrate Zhang walked to the door.
At one glance, he could see everything in the room.
He glanced at Su Jinxiu and Wang Jiu and paused slightly.
Then, he frowned.
"Su Jinxiu, the people from the gambling house identified you as being present at that time.
If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it back to the Yamen.”
Su Jinxiu was a little surprised when she saw Magistrate Zhang's expression.
Didn't he recognize Ah Jiu? He didn't wait for her to speak.
The government officials swarmed forward and prepared to take the person.
Wang Jiu stood up and protected Su Jinxiu behind him.
"Who dares to touch my sister? Try?"
Su Jinxiu looked up and saw Wang Jiu's face, dumbfounded.
I immediately understood why Magistrate Zhang didn't recognize him.
Wang Jiu's face was swollen and shiny like a steamed bun.
Now that I squinted my eyes, I couldn't even see the black eyeballs.
The naked upper body was also covered in red spots.
Su Jinxiu thought about it and realized that she made crab wontons for Ah Jiu last night.
It's probably an allergy.
This allergy came just in time.
After confirming that Wang Jiu was not in danger, Su Jinxiu also calmed down.
"Master Zhang is aware that I sent my aunt who works in the restaurant home yesterday.
I happened to meet my third uncle who was being chased for debt by a gambling house, and he couldn't pay back the usury he borrowed.
Then he instigated people from gambling houses to cause trouble for me, which frightened me greatly.
He hurriedly went into the woods and finally escaped back to the city.
I met my husband-in-law in the city and got home safely.
If you don't believe it, ask the people in the gambling shop.
Last night, you saw me do it with your own eyes?"
County Magistrate Zhang knew that Su Jinxiu was not easy to deal with, and people from the gambling house happened to be following him, so he invited Su Jinxiu to confront him.
"Tell me carefully..."
The people in the gambling house murmured for a long time before uttering a word.
"Yes, I didn't catch up with Su Jinxiu yesterday.
Let people run away..."
Hearing this, Magistrate Zhang's face darkened.
Su Jinxiu's expression became much more relaxed, and she took the time to put some clothes on Wang Jiu.
"Sir, it was my third uncle who was in trouble.
I was shocked to hear the news of his death and was heartbroken.
I should help investigate this matter, both emotionally and logically.
I just ask you, sir, to give me some time to change my clothes.
Then, I will go to the county government office with you and explain everything clearly."
Magistrate Zhang came in a fierce manner and could only go back holding in his anger.
Su Jinxiu changed her clothes and told Wang Jiu.
"Ajiu, sister, go and come back.
Just stay at home and wait for my sister to come back."
Although Wang Jiu was unwilling, he also knew that he shouldn't cause trouble to Su Jinxiu.
Li Zhaodi and the others looked at Wang Jiu and then at the direction Magistrate Zhang was leaving. They didn't know who to worry about first.
