I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 13
Let’s say that the governor went to Qian’s house to inspect the lotus jar carefully, and when he came back, he called Zheng Hao again to ask whether this could really achieve his goal. It was also the first time that Zheng Zuozuo had heard of this technique. After listening, he pondered: “It’s not impossible, but the murderer must know enough about Zuozuo.”
The governor thought to himself, it seems that this matter was mostly expected by Shen Sanniang. It’s really rare for that girl to have such a delicate and clever mind at such a young age. I don’t know who the insider she guessed is, and she must be invited to the government office to discuss in detail.
In this way, Shen Jiajia came to the government office again in the afternoon. This time, there was a man behind him. The man was dark-skinned and thin. As soon as Shen Zhukuai saw the strange man following his daughter, he was nervous for a while. When the man entered the yamen gate, he was also very nervous. He was stared at by a tall man with a knife, and he was even more nervous, and kept hiding behind Shen Jiajia.
Shen Jiajia saw the Fu Yin, and after saluting, introduced the thin man: “Fu Jun, this man is a vocalist from Washeri, and he was nicknamed ‘Sun Bainiao’ because he can imitate the calls of a hundred kinds of birds. Voice.”
It was the first time in his life that Sun Bainiao had spoken to such a big official, and he saluted very cautiously, “I have seen the ruler.”
The governor asked curiously, “Can you really learn a hundred species of birds?”
After mentioning these, Sun Bainiao became more confident and said, “It’s not just a bird, as long as it’s a sound, a villain can learn it.” After speaking, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, and casually learned the sound of a mountain torrent. Roaring, rolling like thunder. Everyone present was shocked when they heard it. If they didn’t know in advance that the voice came from Sun Bainiao, they would have already started to run out.
The governor nodded in admiration, and then asked Shen Jiajia, “Shen Sanniang, what is the purpose of this move?”
Shen Jiajia smiled and said, “Fu-Jun, don’t be impatient. I want to show him Ma Shi. If everything goes well, the real culprit will be known tonight.”
The wind picked up at night. The Qian mansion first died of the head of the family, and then the mistress and the young master were taken away by the government, causing the whole mansion to be in chaos.
At this time, the government sent people to take care of them again, so that no one dared to act rashly, for fear that if something went wrong, they would be arrested as comrades.
Lanxiang arranged Hexiang’s clothes and utensils before she died and piled them on the bed. She didn’t dare to look over there, and she didn’t even dare to stay in this room. She wanted to change to another room to sleep, but the housekeeper was very busy, saying that the case had not yet been found out, and everyone was not allowed to move around, so she could bear it.
She had to endure it.
At night, she didn’t dare to turn off the lights, so she lit the lamp and sat at the table sewing clothes. She sewed the wrong clothes several times. In the end, she put down the clothes and leaned on the edge of the table in a daze.
The wind blew the windows open, and a gust of wind blew up in the room, and the candles were blown on and off. Lan Xiang got up, closed the window, and turned around to find that the door was also blown open at some point.
She suppressed her fear and went to close the door again. After closing the door and turning around, she saw that there was one more person at the table out of thin air, and she screamed “Ah” in fright.
That person’s peach-clothed green dress was exactly the same as the lotus incense salvaged from the well during the day. At this moment, her hair was disheveled and her body was wet. From a distance of ten meters, Lanxiang could feel the steam coming from her body.
Lan Xiang’s legs were so frightened that she wanted to open the door to escape, but found that the door was so good, and suddenly it couldn’t be opened!
She slumped to the ground, her teeth clashed, and she stammered, “You, you, who and who…”
“Oh,” the man laughed, “you don’t know me anymore, my good sister?”
Because the man’s hair was covering his face, he couldn’t see his face clearly. Originally, Lan Xiang had a little bit of doubt in his heart except for being nine out of fear. Now that she heard the other party’s words, she no longer had any doubts. It is He Xiang, she gets along with her day and night, this voice will never admit wrong!
He Xiang said resentfully, “Sister, do you know that the well is really dark and cold…” Suddenly, her tone changed, and she said sharply, “It’s you! It’s you who killed me! I treat you as a My sister, you killed me! Today you are also dead, let’s go to the underworld and continue to be sisters!”
“It’s not me, it’s not me,” Lan Xiang cried out in fright, “It’s not me!”
“You not only killed me, you also want to kill Dalang. Since you are so heartless, why don’t I dig your heart and eat it today…”
“Ah, ah, it’s not me! It’s Erlang, it’s Erlang who killed you! He hit you on the head from behind and pushed you into the well, you just didn’t see it! I saw it with my own eyes! Dalang was also framed by him. Yes, go find him!”
“Ha, you have tricked me into being a ghost, and now you still want me to believe you?”
“It’s true! I just gave Erlang some news. He said that after the matter is completed, I can divide 30% of my property. He has set up a letter for me, a letter, a letter…” Lan Xiang said, crawling and rubbing against the bed. At the same time, he flipped through the bed and handed her a letter, “Look! He is the culprit!”
He Xiang did not answer the letter, but said gloomily: “So, you told him all my secrets. He deserves to die, and you deserve to die too.”
Lan Xiang rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.
At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Fu Yin followed Zhu Kuai and Shen Jiajia and others into the room.
“He Xiang” lifted her hair, revealing a dark face, and asked somewhat indulgently, “Fu-Jun, did the villain learn well?”
“Well, yes,” the governor nodded, turned his face and asked Shen Jiajia, “How did you guess that Lanxiang has a problem?”
“If the murderer wants to use this method to frame Qian Da, he needs to accurately grasp the whereabouts of Qian Da, especially the time of his private meeting with He Xiang. This kind of private matter is difficult for others to know except Qian Da and He Xiang. Yes, that is probably only Lanxiang, who is regarded as a sister by Hexiang. In addition, Hexiang and Lanxiang had a long talk late at night, and they left a book that night, and then they were killed. The most crucial evidence, all of which are too coincidental, make people have to think more. I guess that this letter was also written by Lanxiang and Hexiang. Hexiang thought that writing this letter could be used as a life-saving charm, but did not Thinking of it, it became her life reminder.”
When Shen Jiajia was speaking, Shen Chau quickly bent over, picked up the envelope from the fainted He Xiang, opened it and read it, it was indeed Qian Erli’s letter, to the effect that if he Qian Er presided over the Qian Mansion, he could The three components of the Qian family’s property were given to Lanxiang. The specific reason was not written, but the name and fingerprints were signed below. Based on Shen Zhukuai’s experience in handling civil disputes, he felt that Lan Xiang might have been deceived by Qian Er. The written evidence is the real written evidence, but for such a major event, the establishment of the written evidence usually requires the testimony of a prestigious person. If there is no witness, it will be very variable in the future.
However, there is really no way to find someone to witness this kind of shameful deeds. This statement is really hilarious.
The governor gave an order, and everyone immediately detained Qian Erlang and went back to interrogate him overnight. That Qian Er also had bones, so he gritted his teeth and didn’t say a word. The next day, Shen Zhukuai came back from the yamen and gave Shen Jiajia a message.
“Qian Er said he wanted to see you.”
