Chapter 1424 Liu Wei Narrowed His Eyes!

Qingfeng Town is indeed not far from Mingyue Town. It takes more than half an hour by carriage to arrive.

The town was bustling with activity in the morning. Ji Nanzheng was walking in front, Rong Leng and Liu Wei were walking in the middle, followed by Wei Chuan, Li Yu'er and Xiao Li.

Wei Chou held the candied haws in his left hand and the butter cake in his right hand. Both of these things belonged to Li Yu'er, but that stinky girl used a hammer here and there and threw away the old things when she saw new ones. Wei Chou had no choice but to Hold it for her.

Xiao Li is the most obedient, holding Li Yu'er's hand honestly. When Li Yu'er runs away, he will be responsible for bringing her back when she is running around.

Ji Nanzheng didn't say anything at first. He followed his memory patiently and led a large group of people to the door of Mayor Liu's house.

But after walking for a while and hearing the laughter behind him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and asked his grandson-in-law with a straight face: "What are you doing here?"

Rong Leng was discussing with Liu Wei what to eat for lunch. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said as it should be: "When you go out, I should take care of you."

Ji Nanzheng's temples felt sudden pain, and he pointed at the two children behind him: "What about them?"

Xiao Li's little face was wrinkled, and he asked pitifully: "Grandpa, don't you like Xiao Li?"

Ji Nanzheng calmed down his expression and whispered softly: "No, no, of course Grandpa likes Xiao Li the most."

Xiao Li happily ran over and threw his head into his grandfather's arms. Li Yu'er followed suit and ran over with a smile and hugged the old man's arm.

Ji Nanzheng had no choice. The two children couldn't tell each other. He could only turn his attention to the only one in the field who looked easy to bully: "What is he doing?"

Wei Chou was called out unexpectedly and felt even more angry than Ji Nanzheng. He snorted unhappily and pointed at Liu Wei: "Ask her!"

Liu Wei said with a smile: "Yun wanted me to help her see if there are any delicious and fun specialties in Qingfeng Town and bring some back. I thought if I bought too much, it would be difficult to get it when the time came, so I called an extra person. Come."

In short, it's hard work.

Ji Nanzheng was annoyed to death: "Are you here to investigate a case? Or are you here for an outing?"

Liu Wei went over and patted the old man's back comfortingly, and said: "Investigating the case, investigating the case, of course. Is Mayor Liu's house here? Is it just in front? I'll ask." After saying that, he seemed to run away. Went to the nearest fruit stall to ask for directions.

Ji Nanzheng looked at the group of juniors behind him and saw an eyesore. He was about to attack Rong Leng again when he heard Liu Wei shout: "We're here, it's the house in the alley." Mayor Liu is no longer the mayor. According to the fruit stall The stall owners of Qingfeng Town said that the mayor of their Qingfeng Town is not a hereditary system, but is elected by the whole town every fifteen years. Last year was the day when the previous mayor Liu Guang took office, and the townspeople re-elected Later, the new mayor’s surname was Zhang, a well-known person in the town.

After Mayor Liu became the mayor, his son was seriously ill again this year. In order to treat his son, he had to sell his ancestral home and the family moved to this small house in a deep alley.

When Ji Nanzheng and his party walked into the alley, they found that there were three houses in the alley. The door of the innermost house was open, and a woman's yelling could be faintly heard inside.

If you listen carefully, you can hear that the woman is insulting her husband, saying that he has no future and cannot make money.

Ji Nanzheng hesitated, wondering whether he should knock on the door now.

Just then the door on the left suddenly opened, and a woman came out with a vegetable basket. Seeing so many people standing at the entrance of the alley, she was stunned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Liu Wei replied: "Liu Guang."

The woman pointed casually: "That's the house, but his wife is acting bad now. I advise you that if there is nothing serious, it's best not to get into trouble. That fierce woman doesn't care who you are. She's going crazy when she sees you." Just bite, like a dog.”

Liu Wei took advantage of the situation and asked, "Are the eldest sister familiar with the Liu family?"

The woman snorted: "Liu Guang is my brother." Then she stared at the three of them: "Are you from out of town? Do you have anything to do with him?"

Liu Wei took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and put it into the woman's hand: "I have something to talk to him about, but since he is busy now, I wonder if eldest sister has time to lend me a moment to talk?"

The woman weighed the money and was a little surprised: "Liu Guang has such a wealthy friend, come in."

Several people followed the room and exchanged a few words. Then Liu Wei found a point of interjection and changed the topic to what happened to Liu Xiniang five years ago. Sister Liu is a cheerful person, probably because the scandals of the Liu family have long been known to the public, so she did not shy away from it, and said directly: "Liu Guang, his whole life has been ruined by his current wife, and our Liu family has a total of There were five siblings. When we were young, there was a famine, and three of them died. Now he and I are the only ones left. When I got married in the early years, he was not yet the mayor, but he went out of his way to prepare thirty taels of silver for me. The dowry, I remember his love, so he is like this now, I am also willing to free up my yard for their family to live, but just because I recognize him as my younger brother does not mean that I recognize that poisonous woman as my younger brother and sister-in-law. Be a good girl. Although she is a girl, she has been filial since she was a child. Whether she is kind to her mother who died long ago or her heartless father, she is a bad-hearted person. She is even kind to my aunt, but because of her poison A word from a woman, such a great daughter,

No more, dead. "

Liu Wei leaned forward and asked: "It is said that it is to sacrifice to heaven..."

"What kind of sacrifice is there? At the emperor's feet, that poisonous woman would not dare to sacrifice a human being even if she had ten courages. The same goes for my brother. No matter how stupid he is, he would never agree to drown his own daughter."

Liu Wei glanced at his grandfather.

Ji Nanzheng immediately asked: "But didn't everyone say that back then..." "That's how rumors spread! If you say it once, it will reach ten thousand people if it spreads to the last person! Who are you going to talk to for explanation?" Sister Liu said with a big hand With a wave of his hand, he poured himself a large glass of water, and then continued: "At that time, Xi Niang was very happy when she was selected as the dancer in the palace. That poisonous woman didn't like Xi Niang before, but you know that time Well, she actually called her cousin from far away and asked Xi Niang if she could give up the dancer's spot to her cousin. My dear, why didn't she let the emperor give her the throne? But she really dared to say anything. Come on, it happens that my stupid brother is also stupid. I don’t know what he was fed by that poisonous woman, but he also came to persuade Xi Niang. Xi Niang was so angry that she had a big quarrel with them that night. Later, she ran away I left home and didn’t know where I went. When I was discovered, I had already fallen into the lotus pond and died in the water. Do you think this was a deliberate act?

evil? "

I really didn’t expect the truth to be like this. So, Liu Xiniang was not killed by someone, but she accidentally slipped and fell into the lotus pond and drowned?

Liu Wei asked Sister Liu again: "But why do people say that Xiniang was sacrificed to death by her biological father?"

"A few days before that incident, there was a prayer event in the town due to the drought, because the prayer dojo was supervised by Liu Guang, and for some reason, someone connected the two things together. It's nonsense and nothing."

Ji Nanzheng was reluctant: "Then after the girls died, their legs had different wounds. This is because..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise outside the door.

Several people in the room were stunned. Sister Liu hurriedly walked out the door, cursing as she walked: "What did that vicious woman destroy again? What a waste of money!"

But when he walked outside the door, he found that the sound came from not Liu Guang's house, but from the street outside the alley.

Liu Wei and others also followed out curiously, but saw Li Yu'er standing in the middle of the street with an innocent face, looking around in fear, her little face wrinkled up, as if she was about to cry at any time.

"Sister Yu'er." Xiao Li ran out quickly.

When Li Yuer saw Xiao Li, she hurriedly ran towards Xiao Li and hid behind Xiao Li in fear.

Someone on the street said: "I don't know why this girl just ran to push the girl in floral clothes in front of me, and pushed her to the stone steps. Her head was broken and she is still bleeding."

Only then did Liu Wei and others see a slender woman sitting on the stone steps on the other side of the crowd, covering her forehead with a handkerchief, which was covered in blood.

Xiao Li held Li Yu'er's hand, tilted her head and asked her: "Sister Yu'er, why did you run out alone? Why did you push others?"

Li Yuer's eyes were red. She was so scared to be pointed at by so many people. Now Xiao Li was talking about her again. She didn't know how to explain it. She could only point to the sky and the girl on the stone steps and said: " Stone...throwing stones..."

Liu Wei walked out and took Li Yu'er's hand. Li Yu'er shed tears and hid behind Liu Wei, holding the corner of her clothes and pointing to the sky: "Stone... stone..."

Liu Wei asked: "You saw someone throwing stones to hit the girl, so you pushed her away, right?"

Li Yu'er nodded vigorously, extremely anxious.

Liu Wei patted her hand, pulled her and said, "Maybe there are naughty children upstairs, but you pushed too hard. You caused someone to fall and get injured. You should apologize. Can we go over and apologize?"

Li Yuer lowered her head, nodding frustratedly and pitifully. Liu Wei led her over, and the crowd consciously moved out of the way. Liu Wei bent down and said to the woman whose forehead was still bleeding: "Girl, I'm really sorry. My sister didn't do it on purpose. Your wound is still bleeding. , if you don’t go to the hospital for bandaging first, we will be responsible for the medical expenses.

"

The woman who was still covering her forehead lowered her eyebrows, waved her hands carelessly, and said in a thin voice: "My sister didn't mean it. My little injury is not a problem." After saying that, she raised her head. head, revealing a beautiful face.

This face, how to describe it, is not too beautiful, but soft and graceful. At first glance, it gives people a feeling of being close, gentle and approachable.

Liu Wei looked at her face and gradually stood up straighter. The apology on her face disappeared and turned serious.

The woman also saw her, but her expression was natural and kind. She stood up, nodded slightly to Liu Wei, covered her forehead, and left.

Liu Wei narrowed her eyes and immediately grabbed her arm!

The woman was stunned, looked back at Liu Wei in confusion, and asked, "Is there anything else, sir?"

Liu Wei pursed her lips and looked back at Rong Leng. Rong Leng was also looking this way. He walked slowly over to Liu Wei and looked at the woman with the same gaze. He spoke before Liu Wei and asked: "Liu Yue?"
