Chapter 565 Adopted Son (two chapters in one)

The reason why such a case that has not yet been discovered alarmed Chai Yan was because someone died when the case was transferred to Fuping County again.

As soon as Lu Jinxing and Mr. Wu arrived in Jiangning Prefecture, they heard about this. While rushing to Fuping County, they rushed to 600 miles and sent an urgent letter to Huang County. The whistle would go to Huang County Guanyi to check if there were any letters. So Lu Jinxing's urgent letter was taken back by the whistle as soon as he arrived at the whistle, and it was not delayed for a moment.

Huang County is closer to Fuping County than Jiangning Prefecture, and Chai Yan heard about something from another man named Yazi in Huang County.

Before Wang Dabao kidnapped Wang Pei and Wang Huai, he came to the county town and asked for the price.

Liu Erniang was not the first person he had found, he had also found other people.

The man's teeth are named Zhang San. Now Zhang San has washed his hands and is no longer a human tooth.

Now he has opened a recommendation hall in Huang County, similar to the professional intermediary in later generations.

According to Zhang San's recollection, after Wang Dabao arrived in Huang County, he was the first person he looked for, and asked him directly what the price of a boy about ten years old was.

Zhang San did not know Wang Dabao, so he asked him which town and village he was from. Wang Dabao did not dare to tell the truth and lied that he was from Wenjiazhuang. Zhang San was used to seeing such people. He knew that he was lying, but he did not expose him. He quoted a price of 50 taels and sent Wang Dabao.

Wang Dabao was very dissatisfied with the price of five taels of a child, so he went to find Liu Erniang.

Many people in Huang County know that Liu Erniang cooperated with her husband. Six out of ten boys who were handed over were sent to be eunuchs. Therefore, Liu Erniang has a bad reputation in Huang County and is far inferior to Zhang San.

Zhang San knew about Wang Dabao going to find Liu Erniang that day.

Zhang San did not know Wang Dabao, but someone in the county knew him, the nephew of Wang’s husband in Qiantai Village.

Therefore, Zhang San paid more attention to Wang Dabao.

Later, a major case occurred in Qiantai Village. Wang Dabao and his son were both dead, and Eunuch Wang also died. Zhang Sanyi found out that Wang Dabao sold Eunuch Wang's godson and made Eunuch Wang so angry.

Zhang San is an expert. He knew that the child must have been sent to Liu Erniang by Bai Qiu, and he just laughed at him.

However, he also found out at the same time that Eunuch Wang did not have only two godsons, but also three.

Just at this moment, something happened to a kidnapper Zhang San knew.

The crutch was beaten to the point where he was injured. A few bones were broken, leaving only half of his life.

Zhang San and this kidnapper have been in a cooperative relationship for many years. When something happened to the kidnapper, he came to visit him. After asking, he found out that the kidnapper had targeted three lambs. After two days of staring at him, he thought he would succeed, but the three lambs rushed in front and beat the kidnapper up.

According to the Guaizi, these three lambs were heading towards Fuping.

The kidnapper could only admit that he was unlucky. What he did was to damage the good deeds, and it was not the first time he was beaten.

Zhang San didn't care at first, but later Liu Erniang died suddenly, and Zhang San remembered this.

It was precisely because of Liu Erniang's death that Zhang San had the idea of ​​changing career. The second year after Liu Erniang's death, Zhang San opened a recommendation hall.

Before receiving the letter from Lu Jinxing, Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai were about to go to Fuping County to take a look. Now that they received the letter, they immediately set off to Fuping.

The one who died in Fuping County was a censor from the capital, named Zhou Li.

As mentioned earlier, Prince Rui was stared at by the censors to find fault, and the prince was also annoyed, so he simply sent half of the censors out of the capital to investigate the local criminal prisons. Zhou Li was one of them.

Zhou Li was twenty-three years old and the first batch of Jinshi after the emperor ascended the throne, and his future was bright.

After Chen Datie's case was revealed, the Jiangning Prefecture ordered Fuping County to investigate in detail. An official named Pang Zhixia from the Ministry of Justice went to Fuping County with Zhou Li to supervise the matter.

Pang Zhixia and Zhou Li discussed the case repeatedly on the way. They agreed that if Chen Datie was Chen Han, then the problem would be in the prison.

But Chen Datie is just a country bastard, with no money, no power, and no family power. The Chen family cannot do it, and there is no money to buy a "white duck" for him to die, not to mention that all the women do not know about this.

So if the body brought back by the whole woman was not Chen Datie, then this case is more complicated than other cases of killing white ducks.

The prison in Fuping County, and even officials of all sizes of Fuping County, are suspected.

After repeated discussions, Pang Zhixia and Zhou Li decided to act separately. Pang Zhixia was in the open and Zhou Li was in the secret. Pang Zhixia showed up with two servants from the Ministry of Justice in Fuping County, while Zhou Li only brought his personal servant to the county town for a private visit.

The magistrate of Fuping was surnamed Wu. Wu was very cooperative. Not only did he call all the prisoners and prisoners in the Fuping prison, but he even found the former prisoners who were no longer in office.

Everyone who discovered Chen Datie escaped from prison and the one who killed Chen Datie was checked one by one.

The final conclusion was that Chen Datie was indeed dead, and died in the Fuping prison.

Seeing that the case was not clueful, Pang Zhixia was just worried about his death, but he received a note sent by Zhou Li. The note was sent by a child. Zhou Li said there was a clue on the note and asked Pang Zhixia to meet at Wangji Teahouse.

Pang Zhixia arrived at Wangji Teahouse and waited for two full hours, but he didn't wait for Zhou Li.

Seeing that the teahouse was about to close, Pang Zhixia had to leave, but as soon as he walked out of the teahouse, he saw a team of yamen run by him hurriedly. After asking, he found two dead bodies found in the alley next to him.

Pang Zhixia suddenly remembered Zhou Li, and he felt ominous in his heart, so he followed the yamen runners to the alley next to him.

The two corpses were Zhou Li and his servant.

Both of them were killed with one knife.

As Pang Zhixia knows, Zhou Li is strong and strong, not a weak scholar. His servant has learned martial arts, and an ordinary strong man is not his opponent.

I heard that the death was the censor sent by the court. The magistrate of Fuping was shocked and devoted the entire county government to arrest the murderer.

Pang Zhixia wrote a letter to several other colleagues staying in Jiangning Prefecture, informing Zhou Li about the murder.

However, the murderer who killed Zhou Li had not been caught yet, but two more lives were killed.

These two people are prison guards in the Fuping Prison and a prison guard.

This jailer was the first to discover Chen Datie escaped from prison.

The two of them were working day shifts that night. At the first update, they handed over the shift. Instead of going home, they went to a tavern not far from the county government. They were frequent visitors to this tavern.

They drank until the second day of the second day before they left with their arms around.

The bodies of the two were found on a small road behind the tavern. At the third update, they passed by there. They saw two people lying on the side of the road. When they walked over, they found that they were all dead.

After Chen Datie's death, the whole woman was still protected by the clan, which shows that the Chen clan was still very kind. Whether she complained in Jiangning Prefecture or transferred to Fuping County, she could be safe and sound, which shows that there should be someone in the Chen clan who was protected by these two complaints.

If all the women were asked to bring their children to Ma’s family, maybe people from the Chen clan would come with them. This would be too easy to be exposed, and it would be better for her to go to Ma’s family in person.

Chai Yan also wanted to go, but Yan Xuehuai didn't let him go. First, Chai Yan needed to stay in Ma Jiaji and wait for news about Liuli, and second, the whole woman was a woman. Chai Yan was afraid that he could not ask anything from the whole woman. It would be better for Yan Xuehuai to go there by himself.

Chai Yan was not very worried about Zhou Saochen and Zhenzhu. Even so, he still sent ten guards to accompany him.

Chenjia Village is only more than twenty miles away from Majiaji. Yan Xuehuai and his party arrived at Chenjia Village and asked about the whole woman's home.

As soon as they arrived at the house of Quanwo, two aunts from the Chen family also arrived.

In his hand, Pearl was Liuli's official position. Liuli often went out to Beijing to handle business, so Chai Yan got him a seventh-rank virtual position.

The women had never seen Guan Ping, so they quickly invited Li Zheng to come over. Chen Li Zheng and the clan leader of the Chen family came together. The two of them carefully looked at Guan Ping carefully. They heard that they were here to investigate the Chen Datie case, and when they saw a woman walking with them, they felt relieved.

Pearl talked to the two old men in the main room, while Yan Xuehuai asked the whole woman in the inner room.

The whole woman is thirty-five or six years old, with a thin figure, but her eyes are bright and her eyes are firm.

Yan Xuehuai asked her to tell her how she married Chenjia Village. The whole woman smiled bitterly: "I only have my daughter in my mother's family. Originally, my father wanted to hire a wife, but later the Chen family came to propose marriage. My father said that the Chen family's family style was rigorous. Although the boy of the Chen family was an adopted son, he was watching from the clan, and it was also a good idea."

Yan Xuehuai was stunned and quickly interrupted her: "Is the adopted son you mentioned Chen Datie?"

The whole woman nodded: "It's him. He is not my parents-in-law's biological child, but an adopted child."

Another adopted child?

Yan Xuehuai only felt that the adopted son she met in her two lives was not as much as she had heard of recently.

First, Yan Pei was Wang Pei, and he was the adopted son of the Yan family.

Later, there were five adopted sons of the eunuch.

These are six. Now, with Chen Datie, they add up to seven adopted sons.

Yan Xuehuai asked her to tell her how she married Chenjia Village. The whole woman smiled bitterly: "I only have my daughter in my mother's family. Originally, my father wanted to hire a wife, but later the Chen family came to propose marriage. My father said that the Chen family's family style was rigorous. Although the boy of the Chen family was an adopted son, he was watching from the clan, and it was also a good idea."

Yan Xuehuai was stunned and quickly interrupted her: "Is the adopted son you mentioned Chen Datie?"

The whole woman nodded: "It's him. He is not my parents-in-law's biological child, but an adopted child."

Another adopted child?

Yan Xuehuai only felt that the adopted son she met in her two lives was not as much as she had heard of recently.

First, Yan Pei was Wang Pei, and he was the adopted son of the Yan family.

Later, there were five adopted sons of the eunuch.
