"We found a Jing Chai near Jin Dacheng's corpse. According to Madame Zhou, Huang Guizhi had worn it all day." Just as Li Jun was waving her hands, two coaches squeezed out from behind her.
Lang Zhong was from the town and had specially come yesterday to save Widow Zhou's life. Today, he had a good opportunity to see the plague in Gui Zhi.
Their mouths and noses were covered with a thick Ge Bu, they ignored Jin Xiaolou and rushed into the house.
Huang Guizhi was still asleep, but the two teachers didn't care about him at all. They lifted the blanket and checked Gui Zhi's temperature and the wound on his back.
Gui Qi had already fully recovered from the wound on her back, but at this moment, she suddenly woke up. She had just encountered yesterday's panic, and in an instant, the feeling of fear engulfed her once again as she sat up and called Jin Xiaolou.
Jin Xiaolou hurried over and held Gui Qi's hand. It was only then that Gui Qi could see clearly that the two people in front of him were middle school teachers.
"Jin Dacheng is dead." Jin Xiaolou was expressionless.
Gui Zhi was stunned: "Dead? "He died in the forest?"
Jin Xiaolou nodded.
Gui Zhi lowered his head and no longer spoke. However, his expression was different from before; it was a bit strange.
After the doctor had finished his inspection, he took off the cloth and stood by the door. He then said to the man outside, "People are good. There is no plague."
With that, Madame Zhou was the first to rush in, her eyes red and swollen, she grabbed a broom and smashed it onto Huang Guizhi's body: "Return my son! You vicious woman, what makes you think you can harm my family! Ling Chi! Put her in a tight spot! "
Jin Xiaolou snatched over the broom in Madame Zhou's hand and threw it outside the door: "Be careful with your words, don't falsely accuse Gui Qi. Jin Dacheng, a man, can be killed by Gui Zhi? There must be a basis for your words! "
Madame Zhou raised her head and spat on Jin Xiaolou's face. Jin Xiaolou dodged quickly, but who knew that her attack would miss, and she was about to pounce again.
Just as he was about to get his men to stop the Madame Zhou.
As soon as he entered, he looked at Gui Zhi.
Gui Qi was still wearing his undergarment, and most of the people who came in were men.
Jin Xiaolou quickly covered Gui Qi with a blanket and said, "Please wait outside for a while, it won't be too late to ask questions after Gui Qi has put on her clothes."
Jin Xiaolou was actually dead, this was something Jin Xiaolou did not think of, they suspected that it was Gui Qi, Jin Xiaolou could understand why, but no matter what, they had to wait for Gui Zhi to finish wearing his clothes, and get surrounded by so many outsiders.
Jin Lei pushed Jin Xiaolou away: "Scram far away, how can you still speak! Huang Guizhi is a sinner, she should be cut into pieces, what difference does it make if she wears clothes! "
Jin Xiaolou was pushed to the side of the cabinet and looked at them coldly. Without even asking any questions, they had already convicted Gui Zhi of a crime!
Without even looking at Jin Xiaolou, she asked Gui Qi: "Did you see Jin Dacheng yesterday?"
Gui Qi nodded honestly.
On this point, the people from the Jin Family all started to curse, Madame Zhou scolded and cried, she casually grabbed everything and called them over to Huang Guizhi.
Jin Xiaolou rushed over on her mission, blocking in front of the Madame Zhou. Her stomach was kicked a few times, but she managed to stop one of the Madame Zhou.
Gui Zhi lowered his head and allowed the pots and pans in the house to smash onto his body.
Jin Xiaolou had no choice but to release Madame Zhou and pounce on Gui Qi to protect her with his own body.
Only after throwing herself forward did she realize how painful it was to be hit by those wooden objects.
"Alright, alright!" Li Zheng shouted, "How can I even ask if you guys are making such a ruckus!"
"What else do you want to ask?" The veins on Jin Lei's forehead stood out, "Just beat her to death!"
Jin Dacheng had not seen him yesterday afternoon, an entire afternoon. The Madame Zhou took the silver from the Madame Wu and was about to measure Jin Dacheng's body and go into the village to make winter clothes. Unexpectedly, he did not see any signs of Jin Dacheng even after he had searched everywhere outside the village.
In the courtyard, Liu Jiedi was eating melon seeds with her ingot, while basking in the sun, she casually said that Jin Dacheng had been focusing all his attention on Huang Guizhi these past few days. It was as if he had just seen him change clothes, and was walking towards the bamboo forest near the col.
The Madame Zhou was extremely anxious and hurriedly called Jin Lei over to take a look at the bamboo forest. The inside of the bamboo forest was a mess, and there were messy footprints extending all the way into the mountain forest.
It was almost dark by then, and Jin Lei had Jin Shun light up the lantern again. The two men searched the forest in the dark, following the footprints they made in the mud.
After circling around in the forest, it was finally the middle of the night and the moon was still bright. Jin Shun saw Jin Dacheng standing under a locust tree with a single glance.
It was just that Jin Dacheng's posture was extremely strange, and inside the strangeness, there was a ghastly atmosphere.
Jin Shun was timid. He shouted "Dacheng!" from afar, but no one answered for a long time.
Jin Lei was also afraid, because in the distance, seeing Jin Dacheng's face that was as white as paper, how could there be a person with such a pale face?
However, he was still his son, his only son. No matter how scared he was, he still bravely walked forward. When he walked up to the locust tree, both men felt their legs go soft at the same time.
Jin Dacheng was long dead, an arrow had pierced through his head and nailed him to a tree. Although he had been dead for some time, he was still standing there. The blood flowed down from his forehead and congealed into a black scab.
Jin Dacheng's eyes were wide open, tainted blood seeping in, his expression extremely sinister.
When Madame Wu heard this news, she immediately fainted. She cried until her eyes swelled up from crying, only then did she remember to report it to the authorities.
There were only the two Madame Liu sisters, not only did it have nothing to do with them, they were even taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Liu Yuyan had always been worried that she did not have a son, and in the entire Jin Family, only the Madame Zhou had one Jin Dacheng.
Now that the Madame Zhou did not have a son, Liu Yuyan felt that the heavens were finally fair.
The people from the government quickly arrived.
Two constables held up the handcuffs on Huang Guizhi, causing him to panic: "Just by using a hairpin, can I randomly capture a person?"
One of the constables glared. "You want to convict me of contempt of court? We Old Master He have our own judgement as to whether Huang Guizhi killed anyone or not, how can you be so blabbering here? "
With that, he took Gui Zhi and left.
"A good girl is ruined." Aunt Li sighed, "Before you even get convicted, you're already in the prison. I've heard that unless it's a felony, women are not allowed in the prison. If an ordinary girl were to enter the prison, her innocence would be unavoidable. She would become the plaything of a prisoner and the head of the prison. It's truly a life worse than death! "
"It's better to die than to live!" Zhou Qingxia scolded, "If I were to cut off her head with one strike, I would have truly let her off easy!"
Jin Xiaolou had heard that even if the ancient women committed a heinous crime, they would still be imprisoned at home, under the protection of their husbands.
It was because when a woman was in prison, she would often be bullied and abused by prison guards. As for the women of ordinary families, they would be treated as government whores during their time in prison. Many women would hang themselves once they were released from prison, even if they had completed their sentence.
Jin Xiaolou did not even have the time to hug the Lin'er, she instructed the Madame Ye beside him to help him take care of the carriage, and immediately hired him to chase after the official horses towards the Xin Ning.
She absolutely could not allow Gui Zhi to suffer so much.
Not long after Jin Xiaolou left, the surrounding villagers were still chatting, and from afar, another two horses galloped over.
The people of the government were still on the horses, wearing their long coats. Only after rushing all the way to the entrance of the village did he stop his horse, and shouted to the people below: "Where is Jin Xiaofeng? "Find the sinner for me!"
Yesterday, Jin Xiaofeng had been slapped on the face by the Hunter Tan, and she had been lying on the bed the entire day.
When the constable rushed to open the Tan Residence's gate, she was drinking the wild chicken soup that Tan Sihai had fed her.
Tsk tsk, I've always felt that this soup wasn't fresh and tasty enough.
"What I drank when I went back to my sister's was called soup. She used three types of meat, chopped them into pieces and stewed them together, then added fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms …"
Before he finished speaking, the door opened with a bang, and two policemen stood at the entrance: "You are Jin Xiaofeng? Do you know your crime! "
In such a remote village, where would there be people from the yamen who would come? Unless it was a major event.
Tan Sihai was so scared that his hands went soft and the bowl of soup fell to the ground, the hot soup all over the floor.
Jin Xiaofeng glared at Tan Sihai: "Trash!"
And he said to the constable, "Do you know who I am? My elder sister Jin Xiaotao is a Young Madame of you and your family! "
Then, he rolled his eyes: "What's more, didn't we already discuss this with Zhou Shuli yesterday? In the future, we will compensate the Zhou family with fifteen taels of silver. "Widow Zhou just broke her leg, that's all you need to get for fifteen taels of silver. What, you want more silver, and you want to report it to an official for justice?"
The leader of the constables did not understand what Jin Xiaofeng was saying. He had an impatient look on his face as he said, "What Widow Zhou, Widow Li! I am here on the orders of my lord, to make you pay three hundred silver taels! "
Jin Xiaofeng straightened her back, "What do you mean? What three hundred silver? "
"No?" "I told sire that if he couldn't pay the silver, I would pull your man to be a strong man and send him to the side of the Wuli River for war!"
"This... On what basis is this? " Jin Xiaofeng's eyes were wide open, her face had a drowsy look.
"Why?" The constable raised his eyebrows, "You tricked the lord into buying your canned food. You tricked him into buying one hundred and fifty silver taels. Why do you think that?"
Then why not capture Jin Xiaolou! I did it exactly the same way! " Jin Xiaofeng was unwilling, she had to drag her down with him.
"Lady Xiaolou's can is still fine even now, fragrant and full. Your canned food has only been in the military camp for five or six days.
