Chapter 63: Do you still need to guess about this kind of thing?
That night, it was half past midnight.
In the Anping County Government Office, Zhou Zhixian was still drinking and eating comfortably in the dining room. Judging from his rosy face and smiling expression, Zhou Zhixian should be in a very good mood.
At this time, Zhou Zhixian put the empty wine bottle in front of the table and called loudly: "Xiaohong, the wine is gone, bring another one!"
Immediately, a small white hand opened the bead curtain in the dining room, and it was Xiaohong, the personal maid of Zhouzhi County, who walked in.
"Master, what happened to you today? What made you so happy?" Xiaohong couldn't help but ask.
Xiaohong is Qin Zhiyong's distant cousin. She came to Anping County to join Qin Zhiyong because her family was helpless. Originally, Qin Zhiyong wanted to take Xiaohong as his concubine, but later Qin Zhiyong's wife strongly opposed it and almost cried at home.
After two troubles and three hangings, the marriage failed. But secretly, Tan Zhiyong also hooked up with Xiao Hong, and they had a lot of love.
Until Zhou Zhixian came to Anping County and took office, Qin Zhiyong sent Xiaohong to Zhouzhixian in order to stabilize his position as the head catcher and not be dismissed. Zhouzhixian initially disagreed, but Xiaohong was really lovable and kind.
It was understandable, and because Zhou Zhixian happened to have no female relatives to accompany him, Xiao Hong finally agreed to stay.
Xiaohong didn't want to live a hard life anymore. For her, there was no difference between following her distant cousin and serving the county magistrate. However, if she thought carefully about the future, she would have much more to look forward to following the magistrate of the county.
Zhouzhi County's first wife was too weak and sick to come to Anping County with him to take up his post. Xiaohong felt that this was a great opportunity. As long as she served Zhouzhi County well, she would seize the time to give birth to a son and a half for the master, and she would be promoted to a concubine in the future.
Not a big problem.
Xiaohong brought a pot of new wine and carefully poured wine into the small wine cup at the master's hand.
Then he said gently: "Master, I am happy, but you can't drink too much. Your health is important..."
Zhou Zhixian picked up the small wine cup with two fingers and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the wine cup, he said with a drunken expression: "Do you know, your cousin solved a big case today!"
Zhou Zhixian never mentioned it before, and Xiaohong only heard about it now. After hearing this, she immediately asked in surprise: "My cousin solved the case? What case was it?"
"What case are you talking about?"
Zhou Zhixian asked back, tapping the tabletop lightly with his fingertips.
Xiaohong understood and immediately refilled the wine cup with a surprised look on her face: "Master, has my cousin caught the flower-picking thief?"
Zhou Zhixian curled his lips and said: "How is that possible! If your cousin was so capable, would there be any need to send you a little goblin here? Hahahaha..."
"Master!" Xiaohong pouted and put down the wine bottle, and said angrily: "Master, how many times have I told you, my cousin didn't send me here, I came here voluntarily, voluntarily!"
Zhou Zhixian nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I said something wrong, I will be punished with a drink..."
After saying that, he drank up the wine in one gulp.
Xiaohong sat down next to Zhou Zhixian, and asked again while pouring wine: "Master, you mean, my cousin has solved the rape and murder case?"
"That's right!" Zhou Zhixian nodded heavily and replied.
"Ah, it turns out that the rape and murder case was not committed by the flower picker?" Xiao Hong asked in shock.
Zhou Zhixian looked serious and said, "Do you know who the real murderer is?"
"Who is it?" Xiaohong shook her head.
"I'll scare you to death if I tell you!" Zhou Zhixian came closer to Xiaohong, deliberately lowering his voice to create a sense of mystery and said: "Hey, he is the neighbor of the deceased, a sixty-two-year-old old man!"
"Yeah! Old man?"
Xiaohong covered her mouth with one hand, and the wine bottle she held in the other hand was almost knocked over. She was so surprised that her eyes almost fell out.
"How is it possible..." Xiao Hong couldn't believe it: "You are over sixty, and you can still do that kind of thing?"
Zhou Zhixian smiled slightly and said: "I didn't believe it at first, sir. Later, your cousin asked someone to call a kiln sister. The kiln sister caressed the old man's crotch a few times. What do you think the result was?"
After saying this, Zhou Zhixian cast his fiery gaze on Xiao Hong.
Xiaohong's pretty face blushed slightly, but she didn't show any shyness. She just lowered her head and covered her mouth and laughed.
Zhou Zhixian suddenly became more interested and asked: "Why are you laughing? You have to guess!"
With a smile on her face, Xiaohong suddenly tilted her body towards Zhou Zhixian, stretched out her jade hand and caressed his legs a few times.
Zhou Zhixian had already drunk a lot of wine, but he could not withstand the provocation at this time. He immediately showed off his majesty and set up a towering tent.
Xiaohong retracted her hand, straightened up and said with a smile: "Master, do you still need to guess about this kind of thing? Isn't the result like this..."
Zhou Zhixian gave a thumbs up happily and praised: "My Xiaohong is still smart..."
Xiaohong asked again: "Sir, can you tell me how my cousin caught this murderer?"
Zhou Zhixian was in a good mood and immediately said: "Your cousin said that when he was investigating the case near the crime scene, he happened to hear a noise in Yang Xu's yard, so he went over to check. It turned out that it was Yang Xu's wife who wanted to identify Yang
Xu raped and killed the Qin family’s wife... Oh, it was the deceased woman..."
"Oh, so that's it..." Xiao Hong nodded, and then said in an uneasy tone: "That old pervert... Master, you must give him a severe sentence."
punishment!"
Zhou Zhixian said: "If you kill someone, you must pay with your life! How do you want me to impose a heavy sentence?"
Xiaohong said bitterly: "This kind of person should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
"Xiaohong, don't you know that Emperor Taizu of the Dasheng Dynasty abolished all kinds of torture in his later years, and scraping has long ceased to exist!" Zhou Zhixian explained.
Xiaohong sighed with disappointment and regret: "That's too cheap for this old pervert!"
"Yes, it would be too cheap to hang him like this!"
Zhou Zhixian agreed and then said: "Did you know? This Yang Xu secretly drugged the Qin family's wife that evening, and then climbed over the wall at night and was admitted to the hospital, secretly committing rape! Originally, he could just run away after the incident, but
But he still wanted to strangle the Qin family's wife to death, it's really hateful, it's really abominable!"
Xiao Hong looked at the master in confusion and asked: "Why? You have already blinded the person and let him do whatever he wants. Why are you still unwilling to let a weak woman go?"
Zhou Zhixian slapped his palm on the table and said: "That's why I said hanging him is an advantage for him!"
Xiaohong didn't answer, just waiting for the master to tell the reason.
PS: I have something to go out tomorrow, so I will take a day off. I also wish all book friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
