Chapter 110 Claypot Rice (3)

Zhuang Meiniang had just been brought to Dali Temple, and she hadn't had time to change into prison uniform. She was still wearing the gorgeous floor-length red dress, her hair was neatly styled in a bun, and her tassels swayed slightly around her face, creating a charming shadow.

When Lin Fei and others came over, she was sitting quietly on the stone bed in the prison without speaking.

Instead of her flirtatious ways when she teased the scholars in the study, Zhuang Meiniang's whole person became a little more demure.

Most of her face was shrouded in shadow. When she heard the movement, the face in the shadow raised slightly, then returned to its original shape.

"Zhuang Meiniang!" After catching Lin Fei's look, Liu Yuan stepped forward and said, "There are folk remedies for seeking a child in your cupboard. Is there any disagreement between you and your husband because of this?"

Zhuang Meiniang did not deny this, and said calmly: "We have been married for twenty years but have no children, so naturally we will have disputes because of this."

"There are medicines to replenish qi and blood in your cupboard. Did your husband do anything to you because he was childless?" Liu Yuan asked.

According to the neighbors, Zhuang Meiniang has never seen any injuries on her face. She has always looked like such a beautiful woman. It's just that before her husband passed away, he dressed conservatively, unlike now, where he wore a dress that left a large area of ​​his fair skin exposed.

In the eyes of the neighbors, this was naturally the reason why Zhuang Meiniang was restless without her husband.

But at this time, because of the medicine, Liu Yuan and others discovered another possibility. Zhuang Meiniang's so-called conservative dressing and wrapping her body tightly in her clothes was most likely due to injuries on her body.

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Meiniang burst out laughing: "Sure enough, it's the adults from Dali Temple and the neighbors. I haven't seen it for so many years, but the adults from Dali Temple saw it in just one meal."

Even if Zhuang Meiniang's husband wanted to show off, and he didn't leave any injuries on Zhuang Meiniang's face, would he really not be able to find it after twenty years? Or maybe they discovered it, but they just didn't dare or didn't want to see it. After all, it was a family matter.

Looking at Zhuang Meiniang's current appearance, one can guess how beautiful she was back then.

After the case of Lady Rouge, Zhuang Meiniang will definitely be criticized as her sister, and ordinary people will avoid her, fearing that Zhuang Meiniang will kill someone like her elder sister if they disagree with her.

Under such circumstances, the study owner's willingness to marry Zhuang Meiniang is probably inseparable from her pretty face. However, no matter how beautiful her face was, it became stale over time, and because of her childlessness, Zhuang Meiniang began to be neglected and beaten severely.

"When he treated you like this, didn't you think of resisting and killing him?" Liu Yuan asked.

Under such circumstances, except for a very small number of people who dare not say anything or fight back for various reasons, most people cannot bear it and will start to think of ways to escape from this pit of fire.

"I'm not a fool, who can stand it?" Zhuang Meiniang said, sighing faintly and said, "At first, I thought it was my problem. After seeing many doctors, they all said that I was fine and there was nothing wrong with me. Once I was beaten so hard that I couldn’t help but persuade him to go and see for himself, but he beat me even harder.”

Everyone who heard this sentence suddenly understood: this childlessness thing is either because the two parties are really not destined, or there is something wrong with one or both parties. No matter what, the owner of the study will definitely not admit that he has this problem.

"After I persuaded him, he received a lot of beatings for many days. Until one day, he often disappeared suddenly, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night. I guess he had someone outside, but he didn't Dare to say." Zhuang Meiniang said, "Until one day he came back and told me that he had a daughter-in-law and was planning to marry another, and asked me to pack up my things and make way for someone else."

When Zhuang Meiniang said this, she smiled bitterly and said in a faint voice: "When I was young, I learned to make rouge from my sister, and I had a skill that I could establish myself in. But after what happened to my sister, I had no choice but to give up this skill to avoid suspicion. Then At that time, I saw that he was a gentle man and treated me very well, so I married him."

After years of hard work, before your appearance grows old, do you have to pack up your things and make way for others?

"He also said that I was not allowed to take anything away from home. I ate his food and wore his clothes. I didn't earn anything." Zhuang Meiniang said with a bitter smile, "Even if I find a boy to help look after the study for so many years, I still get a lot of wages. , what he said was so unpleasant, and what he did was so cruel, it’s impossible to say that I don’t hate him.”

"Ruan Zhan and Han Jun were regular visitors to this study earlier than those students, and they had known me for a long time. I asked them to help me with this, and when I found the woman, I found out that she was a mountain on Yishan Mountain. The daughter-in-law of the people." Zhuang Meiniang said.

That mountain man?

"Zhou Dagui?" When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately remembered the name of the mountain man, and his heart skipped a beat. "Didn't your husband and his wife die in public?"

"I heard that's the case." Zhuang Meiniang said, raising her head and looking over here. The face left the shadow and turned a little pale. "I don't know if the death of these two people was related to him, and I specifically searched for him afterwards. Once, he said no, and he was punished by God. Everyone was watching the incident! It had nothing to do with him."

That's true! The deaths of those two people were really bizarre, and it would be really difficult to convict Zhou Dagui for this.

"Zhou Dagui also knew that his wife had a child. He said it couldn't be his, and he couldn't have a child. It was obvious who the child in the wife's belly was." Zhuang Meiniang frowned when she said this. Shaking his head, he was puzzled and seemed to be mocking himself, "But I have seen many doctors, and they all said that there is nothing wrong with me. Could it be that they really think that my husband and I are not destined to be together?"

No matter how powerful the investigation master is, he can't find out whether there is fate or not. Naturally, no one can answer her.

Liu Yuan paused and then said: "So, Zhou Dagui obviously knew about his wife's stealing, and he thought that the child in his wife's belly belonged to your husband, so he killed him for it... This is wrong! These two things are wrong. Human death..."

"Let me tell you whether it's wrong or not. Besides, it is not necessary for him to do it himself." Lin Fei suddenly spoke up, interrupting Liu Yuan's words, "It's not possible to hit someone to death with an ax once or twice." , If you don’t succeed twice, you can try three times. If you try too many times, you will succeed once.”

Stealing people is not something that can be publicized everywhere. Even if these two people had encountered such an accident before, they would not say anything about it and would just think it was a coincidence.

"So, Zhou Dagui is still suspicious." Liu Yuan heard this and said hurriedly, "But Ruan Zhan and Han Jun..."

There is no doubt that the incident between Zhuang Meiniang's husband who died in this case and Zhou Dagui's daughter-in-law was either a coincidence or related to Zhou Dagui.

This case is not difficult to investigate.

But the whole case was originally caused by the affairs of Han Jun, Ruan Zhan and others. It was also the case that they initially investigated. The case of stealing people had nothing to do with these two people. How could Zhou Dagui kill Ruan Zhan and Tong for no reason when he had nothing to do? Han Jun?

Furthermore, such a delicate and poisonous killing method seems to have little to do with Zhou Dagui!

Of course, Dali Temple handles cases based on evidence. Whether it is relevant or not, you will only know after investigation.
