Chapter 193: Manslaughter
When Xiang Zhengqing came to the yamen to ask for someone, Wei Lixian had not yet figured out what Wen Zhao's motive for murder was?
"Lord Wei."
Wei Lixian saw that it was someone from the Gui Department: "Why are you here, Constable Xiang?"
Xiang Zhengqing smiled and said, "Lord Su asked me to invite you to where she has her stall. As for which case it is, I don't know."
Wei Lixian had no idea what to do now, so he simply took his men and followed Xiang Zhengqing to the market.
When Su Nuobai saw the person she was waiting for arrive, she said, "It was definitely not your son who killed the person."
Old Man Wen's face lit up with joy: "Master Su, who killed that man? Why did you frame my son?"
"Let me ask you first, is your daughter-in-law extremely beautiful?" Su Nuobai asked, looking at the two of them.
Old Lady Wen nodded: "Yes, my daughter-in-law is a beautiful girl in the surrounding villages. Everyone who sees her praises her beauty."
She was a little confused: "Is this related to her death?"
Su Nuobai nodded: "Although your daughter-in-law married your son, she is not a person who is content with her lot and is unwilling to live a life of poverty."
"So she has had a wealthy lover for many years, but as time went on, she was no longer satisfied with just a private relationship and wanted the man to marry her."
"Master Su, this is impossible!" The old couple of the Wen family couldn't believe it.
"Let me ask you again, does she bring back some gold and silver jewelry, clothes and other valuables every now and then?" Su Nuobai asked the two of them.
Old Lady Wen nodded: "Yes, she said it was given to her by her younger sister who married into a wealthy family in the city, so we didn't ask any more questions."
"My dear sister-in-law, no matter how good a sister is, she wouldn't give you gold and silver jewelry, clothes or other fine things all the time!" Grandpa Jia felt it was incredible.
"I, we didn't think much about it!" Old Man Wen and his friends are all honest people and have never thought about anything else.
Su Nuobai looked at the two of them and said, "In fact, the person who died that night was not your daughter-in-law, but your son."
"What?" Not to mention the two elders of the Wen family, even the onlookers around them exclaimed in surprise.
"What, what is going on?" Old Man Wen's voice was trembling.
Su Nuobai: "I just said that your daughter-in-law doesn't want to have any more private dealings with her rich lover, so the two of them decided to kill your son."
"That day, I knew you two elders were going to visit relatives and wouldn't be back, and your son was going to the city to find a temporary job. It was the perfect opportunity to make a move."
"But man proposes, God disposes. The two men agreed that one would trick your son into taking a bath, while the other hired a killer to ambush him in the backyard bathroom."
"If he went in, he would have died, but he was so tired that day that he didn't want to move at all."
"Your daughter-in-law cursed, got angry, and pushed him, but it was useless. She knew that this plan would not work today. She could only go to the bathroom in the backyard to inform the killer to cancel the plan."
"But the killer's instructions were to kill anyone who entered the bathroom."
She didn't continue here, and everyone knows what happened next.
Before the daughter-in-law could even open her mouth to speak, she was stabbed in the neck by the killer who had been lying in ambush in the bathroom.
"My family and I have treated her well. How could she think of killing my son?" Old Mrs. Wen couldn't stop crying.
"Sister-in-law, you should be thankful that the world is fair and your daughter-in-law has gotten her comeuppance." Grandpa Jia didn't expect the story to develop like this.
"Master Su, who is the man who hired the killer who had an affair with Wen Zhao's wife?" Wei Lixian looked at Su Nuobai.
Mo Bao stretched out his little hand towards him: "This is a different price."
Wei Lixian looked at the pretty little girl and felt a little amused. However, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and placed it in her palm.
"Is that enough?"
Mo Bao collected the money and returned to his seat obediently.
"Hekou Town, Sun family, Sun Er." Su Nuobai looked at him with a smile.
Wei Lixian immediately bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Su."
After he said that, he immediately took the yamen runners to Hekou Town to arrest people. In this case, he still couldn't figure out why Wen Zhao killed his wife.
Now after hearing what Su Nuobai said, he immediately understood that it was Wen Zhao's wife who wanted to live a good life.
He tried to kill Wen Zhao but failed and was killed by the killer by mistake.
Su Nuobai looked at the Wen couple and said, "Go back and wait. Your son will be back in less than half a day."
The old couple of the Wen family stood up and bowed to Su Nuobai: "Master Su, thank you."
"You don't have to thank me. It's because he is kind to others in his daily life that he has reaped some good results." Su Nuobai smiled faintly.
The heavy stone in the hearts of the old couple of the Wen family finally fell, and their steps became much lighter.
At this time, a man about fifty years old sat opposite her.
She was dressed in silk and satin, with a piece of fine mutton-fat jade hanging around her waist. It was obvious that she came from a wealthy family.
He now had a worried look on his face, with dark circles under his eyes, and it looked like he hadn't slept well for a long time.
Yao Zhen looked at Su Nuobai: "Master Su, I was introduced by the Wu family. Miss Wei asked me to come here to find you. Please help me."
Su Nuobai knew what had happened in his family without him saying anything. There was a row of ghosts standing behind him, and their faces were somewhat similar to his.
Yao Zhen didn't know that Su Nuobai had noticed: "I've been dreaming about my ancestors lately. They were all very angry, puffing their beards and glaring."
"I haven't done anything to disgrace my ancestors, so why are they harassing me?"
"Sir, did you burn strange things for your ancestors during the Qingming Festival?" Brother Zhou remembered the incident with Xiong Kui.
"Ah!" Yao Zhen was confused: "What do you mean by strange things?"
"For example, gambling equipment and the like." Brother Zhou asked.
Yao Zhen was even more confused: "No! Who would burn gambling tools for their ancestors during Qingming Festival for no reason?"
Brother Zhou and the others all had strange expressions on their faces. Someone actually burned gambling tools for their ancestors.
Su Nuobai smiled and said, "This is different from Xiong Kui's. The ancestor is really angry."
"Ah! Master Su, did I do something wrong?" Yao Zhen felt his scalp numb.
"Ever since my ancestors came to find me, nothing I do has gone smoothly. I even choke when I drink water."
He was really scared and didn't know how he had made his ancestor unhappy.
"Your ancestral tomb has been disturbed, and your ancestors are now lying dead in the wilderness. Do you think they will be happy?" Su Nuobai looked at the group of angry souls behind him.
"What!" Yao Zhen stood up suddenly. "That's not right. I went to visit my ancestors' graves during the Qingming Festival and they were fine. How come they're left lying in the wilderness only a few months ago?"
Su Nuobai saw that he was very emotional and said soothingly, "Sit down first and listen to me slowly."
