Chapter 1424

Qingfeng town is not far from Mingyue Town. It's more than half an hour by coach.

In the morning, the town is bustling, with Ji Nanzheng in front, Rong Ling and Liu Wei in the middle, followed by Wei couple, Li Yuer and Xiao Li.

The Wei couple held the candied haws in their left hand and the butter cakes in their right hand. Both of these things belonged to Li yu'er, but the stinky girl hammered away the old things when she saw something new. The Wei couple couldn't help but hold them for her.

Xiaoli is the most obedient. He leads liyu'er honestly. When liyu'er is far away, he will be responsible for bringing her back.

Ji Nanzheng didn't say anything at the beginning. He followed his memory patiently and took a large group of people to the gate of mayor Liu's house.

But after walking for a while, he listened to the laughter behind him. He couldn't help it. He turned around and asked his grandson-in-law, "what are you doing with me?"

Rong Ling is discussing with Liu Wei what to eat at noon. Hearing this, he is stupefied and says: "when you go out, you should take care of yourself."

Ji Nanzheng's temple is in a sudden pain. He points to the two children behind him: "what about them?"

Xiao Li's face was wrinkled. He asked pitifully, "doesn't grandpa like Xiao Li?"

Ji Nanzheng hurriedly eased his face and whispered, "no, not really. Of course, grandpa likes Xiaoli best."

Xiaoli happily runs over and plunges her head into grandpa's arms. Li yu'er is like a student. She laughs and runs over and hugs the old man's arm.

Ji Nanzheng couldn't help it. The two children couldn't say it. He had to turn his eyes to the only one who looked bullied: "what is he doing?"

The Wei couple were named cold not Ding. They were more angry than Ji Nanzheng. He snorted and pointed to Liu Wei: "ask her!"

Liu Wei said with a smile: "cloud wants me to help her see if there are any delicious and interesting specialties in Qingfeng town. Take some back. I think if you buy a lot and it's not easy to take, you can call one more person."

In short, coolie.

Ji Nanzheng is bored to death: "is it to investigate? Or an outing? "

Liu Wei patted the old man's back in the past and said: "the investigation is naturally the investigation. Has the mayor Liu arrived? It's the front, isn't it? I'll ask. " As he said this, he fled to the nearest fruit stand to ask for directions.

Ji Nanzheng looked at the group of young people behind him. When he saw one of them, he was about to have another attack on Rong Leng. He heard Liu Wei shout, "here we are, the one in the alley."

Liu is no longer the mayor of the town. According to the stall owner of the fruit stall, the mayor of Qingfeng town is not a hereditary system, but is elected by the whole people every 15 years. Last year, it was the day when Liu Guang, the mayor of the town, took office. After the town was re elected, the new mayor's surname was Zhang. He was a famous family in the town. After Liu was not the mayor of the town, he met his son again before this year Son was seriously ill. In order to cure his son, he had to sell his ancestral home and the family moved to the cottage in the deep lane.

When Ji Nanzheng and his party walked into the alley, they found that there were three families in the alley, among which the door of the innermost one was open, and there was a faint voice of women's shouting and swearing.

If you listen carefully, you can tell that it is the woman who is abusing her husband. She is unprofitable and can't earn money.

Ji Nanzheng hesitates, wondering if he should knock at the door now.

Just then the door on the left suddenly opened. A woman came out with a vegetable basket and saw so many people standing at the entrance of the alley. She was shocked and asked, "who are you looking for?"

Liu Wei replied, "Liu Guang."

The woman conveniently pointed out: "that's the house, but his daughter-in-law is throwing water at you now. If you don't have a big deal, you'd better not go to the bad luck. The murderous mother-in-law doesn't care who you are. She scolds the crazy head and bites when you see someone, just like a dog."

Liu Wei took the opportunity to ask: "elder sister and Liu family can be familiar?"

The woman snorted, "Liu Guang is my brother." Then he stared at the three people: "are you from other places? What can I do for him? "

Liu Wei took out a ingot of silver from her sleeve and thrust it into the woman's hand: "I have something to look for him, but now that he is busy, I wonder if elder sister has time to talk with me?"

The woman weighed the silver and was surprised: "Liu Guang has such a rich friend. Come in."

Several people followed up the room, exchanged greetings first, and then Liu Wei found the insertion point, turning the topic to the matter of Liu xinniang five years ago.

Elder sister Liu is a straightforward person, probably because the scandal of Liu family has been heard in the streets for a long time, and she didn't avoid it. She said directly: "Liu Guang is a man whose life has been ruined by his mother-in-law. There are five brothers and sisters in our Liu family. When I was a child, three of them died. Now we are the only ones left. When I married in the early years, he didn't become the mayor, but also took heart The one who took out his lung prepared thirty Liang silver dowry for me. I remember his feeling, so now he makes it like this. I'm willing to vacate my yard and live with them. But I don't think that his brother is the same as that poisonous woman. How lovely a girl she is. Although she is a girl, she has been filial since she was a child. It's good for her mother who died early or her father who has no conscience It's all Balboa heart and Balboa liver. It's good for my aunt, but it's because of the poison woman's words, such a nice girl, she's gone, she's dead. "Liu Wei leaned over and asked, "it's said that it's for heaven worship..."

"On the day of sacrifice, at the foot of this son, the poisonous woman gave her ten courage, and she dared not sacrifice the living. So did my brother. He could not agree to drown his daughter even if he was confused."

Liu Wei took a look at his grandfather.

Ji Nanzheng immediately asked, "but not everyone said..."

"That's how the rumor came out! You say one, spread to the last person, it will be ten thousand! Who do you want to reason with? " With a big wave of her hand, sister Liu poured herself a large glass of water, and then said: "at that time, when she was chosen as a dancer in the palace, she was very happy. The poisonous woman didn't like her before, but that time, you know, she even called her cousin from afar, and asked her if she could give her place to her cousin. My darling, how could she not let the emperor give her the throne Sit down? But I dare to say anything. It happened that my stupid brother was also a fool. I don't know what he got drunk by the poisonous woman, but he also came to persuade Xi Niang. She was so angry that she had a big fight with them that night. Later, she ran out of the house and didn't know where she had gone. At present, she had fallen into the lotus pond and died in the water. Do you think it was a sin? "

I didn't expect that the truth was like this. So, Liu xinniang was not killed by others, but accidentally fell into the lotus pond and drowned?

Liu Wei asked sister Liu again, "but how can people say that xinniang was killed by her father's living sacrifice?"

"That is to say, a few days ago, the town made a prayer because of the drought. Because the prayer Dojo was supervised by Liu Guang. Somehow, some people connected the two things together, which was also nonsense

Ji Nanzheng said: "after those girls died, their legs were hurt differently. That's why..."

There was a loud noise outside the door.

Several people in the room were stunned. Sister Liu hurried to the door. As she walked, she scolded: "what did the poisonous woman do? What a loser

Can walk to the door, but found that the voice is not Liu Guang their home, but in the street outside the lane.

Liu Wei and others also followed out curiously, but saw that in the middle of the street, Li yu'er was standing innocently in the same place, looking left and right in fear, her small face was wrinkled into a group, and she would cry at any time.

"Sister yu'er." Xiao Li hurried out.

When Li yu'er saw Xiaoli, she ran towards her and hid behind her.

Someone in the street said, "I don't know why this girl just ran to push the girl in front of me in the rags. She pushed her family to the stone steps, and her head broke. Now she is still bleeding."

Liu Wei and others saw that on the other side of the crowd, there was a slender woman sitting on the stone steps, holding a handkerchief over her forehead, which was covered with blood.

Xiaoli took Li yu'er's hand and asked her, "sister yu'er, why did you run out alone? What are you pushing people for? "

Li yu'er's eyes are red, so many people are pointing at her. She's scared. Now Xiao Li says that she doesn't know how to explain. She can only point to the sky and the girl on the stone steps, saying: "stone Throw stones... "

Liu Wei goes out and grabs Li yu'er's hand. Li yu'er tears, hides behind Liu Wei and continues to point to the sky with her cape: "stone Stone... "

Liu Wei asked, "you see someone throwing stones at that girl, so you push her away, don't you?"

Li yu'er nodded hurriedly and anxiously.

Liu Wei patted her hand, took her and said, "maybe there is a naughty child upstairs, but you pushed too hard. You hurt someone and should apologize. Shall we go to apologize?"

Li yu'er lowered her head and nodded sadly.

Liu Wei led her to go there, and the crowd consciously gave way. Liu Wei bent down and said to the woman whose forehead was still bleeding: "I'm really sorry, my sister didn't mean to. Your wound is still bleeding. If you don't go to the hospital first, we will be responsible for the medical expenses."

The woman, who still covered her forehead, lowered her eyebrows and eyes, waved her hands carelessly, and said in a thin voice, "your sister didn't mean to do it. I'm not in the way of this little wound." As she spoke, she raised her head to reveal a beautiful face.

How to describe this face? It's not too beautiful, but it's gentle. At first glance, it gives people a feeling of being close, gentle and easy to approach.

Liu Wei looked at her face, and gradually stood upright. The apology on her face disappeared and became serious.

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

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed, and immediately took her arm!

That woman a Leng, don't understand of looking back at Liu Wei, ask: "childe still have something?"

Liu Wei tightens her lips and looks back at Rong Leng.

Rong Ling is also looking this way. He comes slowly to Liu Wei's side. He looks at the woman with the same eyes. He opens his mouth before Liu Wei. He asks, "Liu Yue?"
