Chapter 209 Case 210, Husband and Wife Reunited

The yamen servant stepped forward and said, "Who is Wang He who went to the yamen to submit the petition? My lord is here to investigate the case!"

When the young woman saw the official arrival, she cried even louder.

"I'm Mrs. Wang He. I went to the Yamen to file the complaint." The old woman turned over and got up from the ground. She staggered to kneel down in front of Zhou Jia.

Zhou Jia stopped her and said, "Wang He, you said in the complaint that your son was killed by your wife, do you have any evidence?"

"Sir, I have no evidence," Mrs. He pointed to the corpse covered with white cloth in the hall with trembling hands, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Sir, my son has always been in good health, but he occasionally felt cold, but he was already taking medicine! How could he leave all at once? Really? It must be the prostitute and adulterer who killed my son."

The members of the Wang family also echoed: "Sir, my cousin is in good health! He was still in his prime, how could he be killed by a small cold? There must be something evil here! I hope you will investigate clearly!"

Mrs. He knelt on the ground with a plop, "Sir, I took my son into widowhood at a young age. I managed to raise him up, sent him to learn a trade, and married him a wife. Even during the famine, I survived so hard. ! When I came back from work, everyone was fine. I took my grandson to a relative’s house for a banquet and stayed there for two nights. When I got home, the prostitute said that my son had contracted the cold and died. Sir, She is trying to kill me! Do you want to make the decision for me?"

Several women who were helping whispered to the side: "It stands to reason that the Su family can't do it? Brother Daqiang is hard-working and hardworking, and he also cares about his family. It's too unsatisfactory for such a man to be dissatisfied!"

The older woman curled her lips and said, "This person? How can you be contented! When life is good, you will be more carefree! As the old saying goes, a wife who dislikes her wife will not be a good wife, and a husband who dislikes her husband will not be a good husband! But other people's We don’t know what’s going on with the family affairs, but now that Da Qiang is gone, the life of the orphans and widows will be difficult.”

At this time, Ms. Su walked out of the main room crying. Although she was dressed in linen, she did look quite pretty.

Su cried and cried: "My lord, you are wronged! How could I kill my head? He is the backbone of the family. Without him, how can we, orphans and widowed mothers, live?"

"Master Zhou, Yang Wuzuo is here." The official reported to Zhou Jiamen.

Yang Wuzuo also stepped forward to pay homage and said, "I'd like to pay my respects to Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Jia saw that Yang Wuzuo was about forty years old and was thin and lean. He nodded and said, "Yang Wuzuo, the deceased is in the main room. Take a look!"

Yang Wuzuo bowed and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhou!" Zhou Jia led the Yamen and Yang Wuzuo into the main room.

Yang Wuzuo untied the white cloth covering the body of the deceased, unbuttoned his clothes, and checked carefully, but found no injuries. He reported to Zhou Jiaqi and said: "Sir, looking at the surface of the body, no fatal injuries were found. If you want to know, He was not murdered, so he could only cut open his stomach and check his internal organs to see if he was poisoned."

Zhou Jia nodded and took people to the kitchen to check it out. He saw a medicine jar in the kitchen with leftover medicine dregs inside. He picked out the medicine dregs and looked at it. It was indeed medicine for treating wind and cold. He took it with him. The government officials went to several rooms and searched them one by one, but found no traces of fighting in the rooms. Zhou Jia thought to herself: Did he really die of a sudden illness?

Zhou Jia returned to the main room and said to his mother-in-law: "Old man, did you hear what Yang Wuzuo said? If you want to know why your son died, the only way is to do an autopsy!"

Mother-in-law He looked at her son lying on the door panel and thought to herself: Son! Don't blame Mom for being cruel, Mom can't let you leave without knowing anything! Mrs. He gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, I promise to cut it open and examine it!"

Zhou Jia said to Mrs. Su, "Ms. Su, your mother-in-law has accused you of murdering your husband. You are not allowed to go out at will these days. Do you understand?"

Mrs. Su nodded aggrievedly, bowed and said, "I know my mother-in-law is sad. I don't blame her. I hope you will find out as soon as possible and restore the innocence of the woman."

Zhou Jia ordered the government officials to carry away Wang Daqiang's body. Along the way, Mr. Qian said to Zhou Jia: "Sir, I found that the neighbors and relatives of the Wang family did not think very well of the Su family. And I found that the Su family's husband died suddenly. If you have the thought to comb your hair into a neat bun, I think Wang He’s suspicion is not unreasonable!”

After hearing this, Zhou Jia thought for a while and said to Mr. Qian: "I also found that although Mr. Su was crying, there was no sadness in her eyes. It seems that I have to go visit her!"

Mr. Qian looked at Zhou Jia and said with a smile: "Sir, you are so eye-catching. When you go out, everyone will know that you are the county magistrate. I think it would be more appropriate for me to go visit and investigate!"

"That's fine! You go and check to see if Su has had any affair with anyone?"

"Okay, wait until I return to the county office to change into clothes."

As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the county government office, Yang Wei ran over happily, "Master, the young lady is back!"

"Really!" Zhou Jia ran towards the county government office. He saw Li Yu standing in the yard at a glance. He ran up to Li Yu and said softly: "Yu'er, you're back!" Li Yu also looked at Zhou Jia who ran in with a smile on his face, "Yeah! I'm back and I said you went to investigate the case. Are you okay?"

Zhou Jia suddenly remembered that he had just seen the corpse. He took a step back and said softly: "I just came back from the scene. You go and wash up first. I am still checking. You wait for me to come back."

Li Yu heard Zhou Jia's words and knew that a murder had occurred. He looked at Zhou Jia and said softly: "Okay, go ahead! I'm a little tired and I'm going to take a rest first."

"Well! Just wait until I come back."

Li Qing looked at Zhou Jia, who only had Li Yu in his eyes, and said to Ruyi with a smile: "Brother Ruyi, you think my brother-in-law is really partial. He doesn't even ask about someone like me here."

"Smelly child, do you still have to ask?" Zhou Jia walked quickly towards the front office, fearing that he would be reluctant to leave if he stayed there for a while longer.

Ruyi looked at Zhou Jia's back, chuckled, patted Li Qing and said, "Let's go, Brother Ruyi will help you wash away the dust."

"Okay!" The two hugged each other and walked outside. Li Yu smiled and shook his head. Aunt Zhang came over to report: "Young madam, the hot water is ready. Do you want to wash it now?"

"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Yu walked towards the bathroom. Zhou Jia arrived at the front office yard. He had already dissected Wang Daqiang and was checking it. After the inspection, he reported: "Sir, the deceased did not die of poisoning!"

"Oh! Didn't he die of poisoning? Did he really die of cold?" Zhou Jia rubbed his eyebrows. Didn't he die of poisoning? But the ephedra soup in the Wang family's medicine jar is exactly the medicine for treating wind and cold!

Wu Zuo bowed and said, "Yes, sir, no poison was found in the deceased's stomach and internal organs. He may have really died of cold."

Zhou Jia filled out the corpse form, handed it to Wu Zuo for painting, and said, "Okay, let's restore him first! We'll wait until Mr. Qian comes back."

"It's my lord." Wu Zuo turned around and got busy.
