The scene fell silent again, and the officer continued, "Sir, based on the deaths of several people, the three of us believe that Fang was killed by Madam Feng San and Master Feng San! You see, Fang is larger and much stronger than Madam Feng San, so Madam Feng San alone cannot kill her. This requires an accomplice. Judging from the footprints around here, they coincide with the footprints of the three people, so Master Feng San and his wife must have teamed up to kill Fang in order to avenge their children."
"Then why did Mr. Feng San and Mrs. Feng San die?" A young man asked quickly. As soon as he said it, he regretted it. He shrank and looked at Meng Liang in fear.
Fortunately, Meng Liang didn't even look at him, so he felt relieved.
The officer glanced at the young man and spoke again, "You see, sir, Master Feng's wounds are all on his back, and the fatal wound is on his neck. This shows that Master Feng is followed by someone he knows and trusts. The murderer took advantage of Master Feng's return and stabbed him several times in the back with a dagger. The murderer was none other than Madam Feng. That's why she has scratches on her wrists and arms. And Master Feng's nails happened to have dandruff."
After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They looked at their wives standing beside them with deep meaning in their eyes. It was so horrible that the person who shared the bed with them was actually the one who killed them.
The officer continued, "As for Madam Feng San, she must have committed suicide. The dagger on her wrist is the best explanation. As for why she did this, I don't know the reason."
Meng Liang frowned, feeling very unlucky.
Seeing these bad things early in the morning really makes people feel bad.
He nodded. "In that case, let's dig a hole and bury the people. Tell Wang Datou about this and ask him to cross these three people off the list."
The officers clasped their hands together and said, "Yes!"
Then, several people worked together to carry the three bodies in a pool of blood into the woods.
The second branch of the Feng family watched indifferently as Madam Feng San and Master Feng San were carried away by the officials, without any sadness on their faces.
It's better for him to die, so that the food found by the second branch won't have to be shared between two people.
Fortunately, God was merciful and the couple died, so they no longer had to add to the burden on the second wife.
There was no excitement to watch. Thinking of the tragic state of the three bodies and the speculations of the officials, they were no longer in the mood to dig yams. They dragged their bodies and returned to the ruined temple exhausted.
In just a few days, no one in the exile team died. It was unknown whether they could still reach Youzhou alive.
The group dragged their exhausted bodies back to the dilapidated temple, and saw Feng Jiuyan's family of three happily drinking porridge, which made them feel even more depressed.
After watching the fun, Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu took their bowls and approached Feng Jiuyan.
Zhang Chong had a flattering smile on his face. "Hey, Miss Feng, give me some porridge. You give me some porridge, and I'll tell you about the excitement I just saw."
Feng Jiuyan glanced at the two of them with a look of disdain in his eyes, "No, I don't want to know at all!"
Zhang Chong continued shamelessly, "Hey, don't stop here, you must want to know. What do you think happened? Madam Feng San, Master Feng San, and Fang are dead! And it was Master Feng San and his wife who killed Fang together, and Madam Feng San stabbed her husband to death, and then committed suicide! How shocking!"
Feng Jiuyan didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to drink the porridge in his bowl.
She was not too shocked by this, as she had heard some noises in the donkey cart last night. Through the gap in the carriage, she saw Fang Ming and Fang Shi talking for a few words, and Fang Shi went out through the side door alone.
Not long after, Madam Feng San and Master Feng San also sneaked out through the side door.
However, no one knew that Fang’s death was actually caused by her husband Fang Ming.
Feng Jiuyan raised her eyes, glanced at Zhang Chong, and asked with a half-smile, "And then?"
"And then? After you finish listening to my gossip, give me a spoonful of porridge!" Zhang Chong said with a sly grin.
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
Is forced buying and selling okay?
She took her bowl of porridge and left the pot, "Spoon it yourself, I won't serve you."
Feng Jiuyan had expected that Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu would definitely come to eat the porridge, so she cooked two portions. Apart from anything else, Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu accepted her favor and would take care of their family more during their exile.
Zhang Chong smiled triumphantly, picked up the spoon and filled his bowl with porridge, then walked over to Feng Jiuyan and started chatting about the gossip.
Zhang Xiaowu also scooped a large bowl of porridge, sat next to the two of them, and listened to the gossip.
——
The residence of Magistrate Zhu.
At the same time, Zhang Yuanshan and a group of Jinyiwei had diarrhea during the night, and at daybreak, the diarrhea finally showed signs of stopping.
But they were exhausted, weak all over, and pale. Despite this, Zhang Yuanshan still led everyone to the backyard in a hurry.
The Jinyiwei guarding the backyard was a little puzzled when they saw Zhang Yuanshan and others coming over with pale faces and unsteady steps.
When the wind blew, a strong smell of shit drifted over!
This really disgusted them.
Everyone's face turned green, they frowned, and couldn't help pinching their noses with their hands.
No, weren't these people drinking in the front yard? Why do they smell like shit?
The closer you are to them, the stronger the smell.
They looked at the Jinyiwei coming from the front yard with an unclear expression. Just as they were about to ask something, Zhang Yuanshan howled weakly, "Quick, open the door and check the backyard."
They didn't understand what was going on, so they consoled him, "Sir, we will obey your orders and will not dare to leave even a step. Don't worry, the things inside are absolutely fine!"
Zhang Yuanshan was so angry that he roared, "Stop talking nonsense and open the door quickly."
The two Jinyiwei guarding the door looked at Zhang Yuanshan in confusion, thinking that Zhang Yuanshan was making a fuss and was neurotic.
They turned around, opened the big lock on the door, pushed the door open, and said to Zhang Yuanshan with a smile, "Sir, don't worry. We promise that nothing inside will be stolen..." Their eyes looked into the yard.
Before they could finish their words, the two of them stared at the empty courtyard with their eyes wide open. They trembled and said in disbelief, "How, how, how could it be! We clearly didn't leave at all!"
Zhang Yuanshan's face turned even paler. He knew it! He knew it!
