Chapter 16

Wei Shi looked at Liu Sanniang: "Miss Liu, sit down and have a rest. Have a cup of tea and relax."

Liu Sanniang nodded, "thank you, sir."

Wei Shilai is a good official. Liu Sanniang feels that he is righteous and particularly comfortable.

Channeling Wei Shilai, she didn't see much, and focused on the deepest memory, but that memory, in Wei Shilai's heart, was sweet.

Instead, it's embarrassing to recall those poor.

Wei Shilai is an honest official. Now life is better, and he still doesn't forget his original intention, which is worthy of the admiration and admiration of the people.

He is a good official.

While waiting for the constable to bring Liu Cheng and his family back, an officer hurried in, lowered his voice and reported to Wei Shi, "Sir, someone reported the case, saying that there was evidence."

Wei Shi hurriedly said, "bring people in quickly."

It's impossible to set fire in Yizhuang so clean. Someone must have taken the initiative to report the case.

Wei Shi came to Liu Sanniang and said faintly, "Miss Liu, rest here first. When the Liu family comes, you can communicate with them."

Liu Sanniang nodded.

It must have something to do with the fire in Yizhuang to make Lord Wei so interested. It would be better if there was evidence.

Wei Shilai went out from the back room to the front hall.

Li Shi was a little embarrassed: "see adults for civilian women."

Li Shi saluted, then smiled and asked, "Sir, is there a bonus for providing clues about the murderer?"

Wei Shi looked at Li Shi for two eyes and saw Li Shi clearly. He nodded: "there is a bonus. As long as the clues you provide are useful, there will be two liang of silver as a reward."

Li frowned, "only two liang? Is such a ferocious prisoner worth two liang?"

Two liang, isn't it too little? Those ferocious criminals all want a hundred and eighty liang of silver or something.

Wei Shilai smiled: "madam, you haven't provided a clue yet. A clue can't guarantee to catch the murderer. If you can mention a few more clues, the reward will be doubled."

Although Li Shi wanted money, as long as the clues she provided were useful, they were good clues.

Li Shi smiled, "my Lord, I suspect that my stepson is an arsonist."

Wei Shilai calmly asked, "what's suspicious about him? Why do you infer so?"

Li Shi lowered his voice: "my stepson is a blacksmith named Chu Yan. He is tall, strong and very powerful. He has a strange temper. He often comes home in the middle of the night and doesn't know where he went. Moreover, today, when he came home during the day, he packed up some salutes and left. The folk woman thought of the fire in the Yizhuang, so she made a bold guess..."

Wei Shi frowned. Li Shi's guess was not unreasonable. A young and middle-aged lone man with a strange temper who didn't go home in the middle of the night was the easiest to do something unreasonable.

"The people's wife asked him what he was going to do. Don't you know, sir? His eyes were like beasts. He was almost scared to death, as if he was going to kill in the next second."

"Also, Chu Yan was very strange when he was a child. My stepmother wanted to control him, but he dared to pinch my neck..."

The more Li said, the more certain he was: "my Lord, the people's wife is sure that Chu Yan is the murderer. He is bad. Some people are born bad!"

Wei Shilai frowned. Li's words were suspected of exaggeration, but Chu Yan was also very suspicious.

Wei Shi called several officers: "go and check whether Chu Yan is still in the city, whether he is out of the city, and where he is going out of the city?"

Li's flattering smile: "my Lord, where is the people's wife going to get the money?"

Wei Shilai said faintly, "madam, don't worry. When the murderer is arrested and your clues are proved to be useful, you can come to the government to collect the silver."

Li frowned as soon as he heard it. It's so troublesome.

But the clue was also provided. She couldn't pay in vain. She thought for a moment and wanted to say, "adults, people's women come to provide clues. Adults must not say it, otherwise Chu Yan will really kill people's women."

Wei Shilai solemnly said, "don't worry, I and the Yamen officials will keep it confidential and will never divulge the person who provides the clues."

Li Shi thought it was the same. Lord Wei was the most honest and trustworthy official.

After Li Shi left, Wei Shilai returned to the inner room of the rear hall.

He looked at Liu Sanniang's food box: "Miss Liu is here to send food to her relatives."

Liu Sanniang nodded, "yes."

She has little ability and doesn't know any big people. Although she lived to 75 years old in her last life, she hasn't experienced great storms. What she has experienced now is the most severe.

If she had not lived to the age of 75, she would only be afraid of crying and only know how to cry.

Wei Shilai appreciated that such a sensible and intelligent girl showed how well her parents raised her.

Wei Shi smiled, "do your parents know that you have this ability?"

Liu Sanniang shook her head, "my parents don't know, and I don't want them to know. If it weren't for causing disaster, I wouldn't let anyone know."

She has no great ambition and wants to live a safe life. If she can marry a happy husband to make up for the regrets of her previous life and have another son and a half, she will be satisfied.

Wei Shilai agreed very much. At first glance, Liu Sanniang was the kind of gentle woman in a small town. She was born white, tender and beautiful. She was suitable for a good life as warm as water.

Psychics will always make people fear her, exclude her or even bully her.

"When the Liu family comes, Miss Liu just needs to sit outside, and I will erect a curtain between you, so that your identity will not be revealed."

Wei Shilai really thinks Liu Sanniang is good, gentle, sensible and intelligent. Such a good girl should be loved.

So it is very important to protect Liu Sanniang's identity.

Liu Sanniang said happily, "thank you, sir."

She had thought about this level, but after all, she was the weak side. It would be great if Lord Wei could agree to her request, let alone others.

Wei Shilai smiled: "don't be polite, Miss Liu. My wife often tells me that she wants a daughter. Her description of her daughter, at the moment I met you, I knew what she was thinking."

Liu Sanniang was a little embarrassed.

Wei Shilai smiled and ordered his servant to take care of Liu Sanniang before he got up and went out.

The master who investigated Liu Sanniang came back soon. What Liu Sanniang said was true and there was no difference, but it was unknown how she had any power.

Lin Zheng also took the Liu family to the county yamen on the pretext that Wei Shilai said he would apologize to them in person.

Liu Cheng's family dressed very appropriately, and even combed and washed, with a smile on her face. The first time Liu chengniang entered the yamen, she felt a breeze under her feet: "son, look at this yamen, how imposing."

At the thought that the county magistrate would have to apologize to them in person later, Liu chengniang felt that she could be dignified even when she died underground in her life. She could tell her ancestors that she had received a respectful apology from the county magistrate before her death.
