After a while, Axia came out, holding the dishes in her hand, and handed it to Adong.
Adong took over and walked neatly towards the stove.
Achun just finished using the food, and came out of the kitchen. When he saw Adong coming, he said, "How come you are here too. The dishes can be put away and put aside. There is no one around the wife. In case she has something to tell How to do?"
A Dong smiled: "Sister A Chun don't worry, Sister A Xia has returned, she is guarding her wife!"
A Chun frowned: "Axia didn't say she was uncomfortable, I also asked her to go to the doctor for medicine these two days."
Aston said: "Yeah, Sister Axia said she was here as a child. I think she seems really uncomfortable to walk!"
A Chun was surprised: "Her childhood is coming? Why didn't I see her riding cloth, just came today ..."
As soon as I finished speaking, I seemed to realize that my words were very inappropriate for an eight- or nine-year-old girl.
"Okay, Adong, just go and rest, my wife and Axia will be there."
When Achun returned to Zhang's yard, she saw that Axia had just come out from inside. She looked closely for a while and found that Axia's face was indeed pale, and she greeted him: "Axia, did you go to see the doctor today? "
Axia smiled: "Go, but there are too many people on the doctor's side, and I'm afraid that the wife has something to tell you, you can't be busy alone, and can't wait to come back first."
Achun said strangely: "Don't you worry about my work, let you go to rest, and ran out to work again, all right, go back and lie down, my wife is here for me!"
Axia made a mute gesture to her: "My wife just rested."
Achun nodded, looking worried: "Is the wife still in a bad mood?"
Axia sighed: "Yeah, I persuaded her to give her a break early. She said that she had a headache. Let us do nothing tonight to disturb her."
A Chun: "My wife is sleeping in the back room. I'm resting outside. Would you mind?"
Axia: "There is only a door between the back room and the outside room. My wife told us to go out. She shouldn't want us to wake her up when she turned over in the middle of the night? You also know that the wife has a light sleep because of a headache.
A Chun: "The same is true, then I will just stay overnight outside."
Axia: "I will accompany you."
A Chun shoved her: "No, you're going to rest, you see your face looks ugly like this."
Axia said: "I should have been on duty today. How can I leave you to rest, I will accompany you."
A Chun: "Don't you say that your childhood is here?"
Axia: "Yeah, I just came here today, but it's much better now, as long as you sit, it's not uncomfortable."
Ah Chun couldn't help her. The two of them sat down next to the stone table in the yard. Fortunately, it was the midsummer season. The weather was sultry, and the starry sky looked up, but it was cold in the yard.
The two talked one after another, and by the middle of the night, they were both a little sleepy, with their arms supporting their chins, and dozing off there.
Achun yawned and stood up: "I went in to see how my wife was sleeping, and whether the doors and windows were tightly closed to avoid getting cold."
Axia also stood up: "I'm going!"
A Chun: "Okay, don't need it. Do you need two people to close the window? Just sit down!"
At this time, there was a muffled noise inside the house.
Achun and Axia glanced at each other. The two stepped forward. Achun knocked on the door and asked softly, "Mrs.?"
Seeing that there was no answer, A Chun pushed open the door and walked in.
The door of the back room was still closed, but the outside screen was behind the screen, as if something was moving.
Achun groaned, and walked over slowly, asking inquiringly, "Mrs.?"
When she walked behind the screen, she realized that the outside window was not closed, and the branches outside whirled and danced under the breeze. The shadow of the tree reflected on the screen, together with the clothes hanging on the hanger behind the screen, it was easy to produce misunderstanding.
A Chun let out a sigh of relief and looked out at the probe.
There was a small garden outside. At this time, the bright moon was on, and the grass and trees were clearly illuminated. The branches were gently swayed and rubbed, and a faint cat or two came out from the bushes.
A Chun shook his head and closed the doors and windows.
Achun came out of the screen and saw Axia coming out of the back room lightly.
"Wife is still asleep?" She asked Axia quietly.
Axia nodded: "It seems like she was sleeping deeply, and she didn't know the sound just now, so she couldn't wake her up."
A Chun: "Then let's go out. My wife has rarely slept better in the past few days. Don't wake her up."
The two quit the house, Axia asked: "What's the voice?"
A Chun: "Xu is probably a wild cat naughty, and hit the edge of the window when he was ascending. It had been there before."
After being stunned by this turbulence, the two became energetic and simply sat there chatting until dawn, when A Chun said: "It's time for your wife to get up at this time, you go to fetch water first, I'll take a look Has your wife been awake? "
Axia should get off, and Achun went to Zhang's house.
They are usually accustomed to this skill, and there is nothing new to describe. A Chun walked into the house and knocked on the door of the back room: "Ma'am, it's too late, can I get up?"
It was quiet inside, no one answered.
Zhang was originally a light sleeper, and a little movement outside could wake her up. Even if she slept well last night, it would be impossible for her to yell outside without moving, would she be sick?
A Chun was surprised, and couldn't wait for Zhang's response, and pushed open the door directly.
As a result, this push made her see the most terrifying scene in her life!
A string of rope hung down on the beam, and Zhang's body was hanging on the rope, his body dangling. Looking up from Achun's angle, Zhang's eyes were wide open, and she stared at her in a daze.
"what----!!!!!!"
Such a thing happened to the Li family, it was really like the sky falling down.
Because the owner of the Li family has been doing business abroad for a long time, the ancestral house in the capital is Zhang ’s guarding. As the head mother, she has to take charge of the housework and take care of the old and small living, because the Zhang ’s family ca n’t be born Later, he married two concubines, including the mother of Li Lin, the only son of the Li family.
Li Man was a middle-aged son, and he was very fond of Li Lin. Not only him, Zhang also regarded Li Lin as his own son. Li Lin grew up next to Zhang ’s family and was very respectful to her. Zhang ’s Not only did he not conceal his life experience, but also took care of his biological mother, Li Man ’s two-bedroom concubine was also honest, and could not afford any big storms, so although the male host was away from home all the year round, the Li family had Zhang ’s presence. Over the years, it has also been stable and peaceful.
At this time, the Zhang family died, the Li family lost its core, and Li Man hadn't returned yet. The whole family howled up and down, completely messing up.
Zhang's mood has been unhappy because of the news that Li Man is about to bring the concubine back, and it seems reasonable that he can't think of suicide for a while, but who let Tang Li live next door to the Li family. When Li Man was away, the first member of the Li family remembered Tang Fan, and hurriedly sent the old housekeeper Li to Shuntian House to find Tang Fan, begging him to make the decision.
It stands to reason that Tang Fan should not be in charge of this matter, because there are several counties under the jurisdiction of Suncheon, and the Li family should be in charge of Wanping County. If this kind of thing happens, if the Li family suspects that he killed Rather than commit suicide, if you want to sue the official, you must first go to Wanping County Order. If Tang is in charge, it is called Yue Ling Daiyao. It is a taboo in the officialdom, and Wanping County will definitely be unhappy.
So Tang Fan was surprised and only comforted the old Li. He promised to go to the Li family with him first. If he committed suicide, he did not have to alarm the government. If he suspected it was homicide, he went to Wanping County to sue the officer.
When Tang Fan followed Lao Li back to Li's house, he saw a strange man sitting in the hall sadly and sadly, and beside him stood a beautiful woman, Li Lin stood there weeping and weeping, A Chun and A Xia were kneeling In the hall.
Lao Li screamed, overjoyed, and hurried forward: "Master, lord, you can come back!"
"Lao Li, where have you been!" Li Man's face was full of sorrow and tears in his eyes. Although he was concubine, he still had feelings for the wife of the chaff after all. His eyes fell on Tang Fan beside Lao Li. "Who is this?"
Lao Li busy said: "Master, this is Master Tang from Suncheon Mansion. Because of the sudden change in the family, you don't want to stop, Master, and he went to invite Master Tang to come and see for himself!"
Li Man got up and saw the ceremony: "It turns out to be Master Tang, the villain is rude! I don't know Master Tang and my family ...?"
When Tang Fan rented the yard next door, Li Man was already out. He had never seen Tang Fan at all. No wonder he had such doubts.
Lao Li explained: "The courtyard next door was rented by Master Tang. He helped the Li family a few times. He was kind to us. You ’re not here, lord, and the little has no owner. Looking for Master Tang! "
Li Man nodded and arched his hand: "So it turns out, I thank Master Tang on behalf of the Li family!"
Tang Fandao: "No need to be polite, but Mrs. Li's good manners, why did she hang herself?"
As soon as this remark came out, not only Li Li, but also A Chun and others did not make a sound, and the atmosphere was a bit frozen for a while.
After a while, Li Manfang said: "Lao Li, Master Tang is asking you, why don't you answer?"
Lao Li sighed: "Returning to Master, in this matter, the small one is always in the outer court. I haven't seen my wife yesterday. It's not easy to talk nonsense, but let A Chun and they talk!"
Li Man said: "Achun, Axia, you said!"
A Chun's face was shocked. She was the first person to discover Zhang's body. The hanged body hanging on the beam gave too much impact. She hadn't recovered until now.
Li Man had to let Axia speak, and Axia glanced at Li Man and the woman beside him, and said timidly: "A few days ago, my wife heard that the old man was going to bring people back from outside, but because he hadn't made a difference for many years, The mood was a bit low, and we also comforted. Later, last night, the wife said that she would rest and not let us in. I and Achun stayed outside until the day was about to dawn and called in the wife, who knows A Chungang went in and saw his wife ... "
Li Man heard the words and said with pity: "I have a spouse with her. I have a deep affection. Why don't you blame her! How could she not think so!"
The beautiful woman wailed: "I came back with the old man, just to see my wife. Why did my wife doubt me so far that she didn't even let me see you!"
Tang Fan shook his head. This kind of private house affairs, the woman ’s mind, is really not good for outsiders. He is not convenient to intervene, but in the light of neighbors ’sentiments, he still said:" If it is convenient, you may wish to take me to take a look Your wife, can you determine whether she actually committed suicide. "
Li Man arched his hand: "Thank you Master Tang for your kindness, but Zhu Jing is after all a woman ’s family. Men and women do n’t accept their relatives, let alone the deceased, so it ’s decent to check up and down. Now my family is undergoing major changes, and it ’s really inconvenient to entertain Tang It ’s better to wait for the villain to finish the funeral of Humble Jing, and then come to the house to thank. Master Tang, what do you think? "
Tang Fan gave him a deep look: "If I must watch it?"
Li Man stunned: "Master Tang, as a court official, how can he ignore the court order and the wishes of his family? The deceased is big, and the villain does not want Humble Jing to be disturbed, and he will not be peaceful after his death. Is this not possible?"
Tang Fandao: "Yes, but since Mrs. Li's family may have committed suicide or homicide, I naturally have the right to view the body."
Li Man sank his face: "As far as I know, even if the official mansion is investigated, it should be sent by Wanping County to investigate. Although the Tang dynasty is affiliated to the Sunshine Mansion, it is ultimately wrong. Is this illegal?"
The Li family ancestor became an official. Li Man used to be a scholar, but now he is doing business everywhere. He has a lot of friends, and he is naturally not as foolish as ordinary people. Moreover, he is right.
Tang Fan had no choice but to say, "Then I can walk around your wife's room before she died?"
