Chapter 4 The Murder Case in the Bridal Room
While eating.
In order to divert the glaring eyes, Li Gongfu asked Xu Xian with interest: "Hanwen, why did you joke with Teacher Sun? Call him parents, this is a very serious problem."
It was obvious that it was not a big deal just now.
Xu Jiaorong's tax-profit gaze indeed stared at Xu Xian.
Li Gongfu was secretly proud of himself.
Xu Xian naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, and said dryly: "I just told a joke to Teacher Sun, it's nothing serious."
He guessed that his sister went to school the day after tomorrow, and Old Man Sun was embarrassed to tell the truth.
"What joke? Tell me."
Li Gongfu continued to divert his anger.
Xu Xian looked up at him and said, "Does my brother-in-law really want to hear it?"
Li Gongfu glanced at his wife, and saw that she was still angry, and hurriedly said, "Of course, let's talk about it quickly, so that your sister will not apologize to the school the day after tomorrow, and I don't know why."
Xu Xian took a bite of the cake and said lightly: "Actually it's not a joke. We Teacher Sun likes to drink. I read a short story in the book and told him that a man likes to drink outside. After getting drunk, he went to the brothel at the instigation of his companions, and then got sick of the flower and willow disease. After he came back, he passed it to himself..."
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Jiaorong's chopsticks fell on the table and stared at his husband.
Li Gongfu was frightened and glared at him hurriedly: "Hanwen, why are you talking nonsense? Why are you drinking well? You are young and still in school, how can you read that kind of book? Where is the book? Take it out and your brother-in-law confiscate it!"
Xu Xian said innocently: "In the academy library, if my brother-in-law wants to see it, I will rent it back the day after tomorrow."
"Don't talk nonsense! I don't want to watch it!"
Li Gongfu quickly shrank his neck, lowered his head to eat, and said flatteringly, "It's delicious, delicious, the dishes cooked by my wife are so delicious."
In fact, he ate a chopstick of vegetables.
There are only two dishes in total for three people.
A plate of tofu and a plate of green vegetables were placed in front of Xu Xian.
In front of Xu Jiaorong, there was a bowl of noodle soup and two pancakes that he had baked himself.
Xu Xian is now at a time when he is growing up and studying, so every time he eats, he will give him food.
Xu Xian used to be confused and studied hard, and would not think about these things at all.
But now, seeing this picture, Xu Xian's heart felt warm, and he felt quite sad and guilty.
He has to find a way to change the embarrassment of his family.
My sister and brother-in-law are only in their twenties and have to go out to do things every day. If you don’t have good food, how can you get physical strength and energy?
"Sister, eat food."
Seeing that his sister was staring at her brother-in-law and getting angry again, Xu Xian quickly picked up two pieces of tofu and put them in her bowl.
Xu Jiaorong was stunned for a moment, as if she had never enjoyed her younger brother's treatment, and hurriedly said, "Hanwen, you eat it yourself, I don't like to eat tofu."
After saying that, I have to pick it up again.
Xu Xian had no choice but to say anything, and picked up two more pieces for Li Gongfu and said, "If you don't eat, I won't eat either, I won't eat anyway, I won't be hungry."
After saying that, put down the chopsticks.
Li Gongfu looked at him in surprise, then looked at Xu Jiaorong, and suddenly said, "Madam, the disaster that Han Wen caused in the academy this time is probably a bit big."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jiaorong's eyes, who were slightly stunned, suddenly glared again.
Xu Xian couldn't help but step on his brother-in-law under the table. It's really a pot that doesn't open and pick up. I finally saved your life. Believe it or not, I'll tell you another story about drinking and looking for a mistress?
At this moment, a door slap suddenly came from outside.
At the same time, a crisp sound like an oriole bird came: "Xu Hanwen! Xu Hanwen! Open the door!"
"who?"
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and for a moment, he didn't remember who this girl was.
Li Gongfu took the opportunity to return him and urged: "Hanwen, why are you stunned? Go and open the door, it's Xiaoyu."
"Little fish?"
Who is Xiaoyu?
Xu Xian walked out with questions and opened the door.
A pretty girl wearing a green dress and cute headdress suddenly came in, punched her in the chest, and said with a pout, "I'm here to open the door so late, and beat you!"
As he said that, he ignored him and jumped into the yard, and the bell on his left wrist kept ringing.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, ask you something."
The girl ran into the house and sat down on Xu Xian's chair without any hesitation. She blinked her big black eyes and looked at Li Gongfu and said, "I heard from my father that there was a murder case outside the city last night. A bride killed her newlywed husband while in the bridal chamber, right?"
Xu Xian returned to the dining table, pushed her, and said, "Go aside, I haven't finished my meal yet."
He remembered who this girl was.
Su Xiaoyu, the daughter of Qiantang County Magistrate Su Dongzhi, met him since childhood and was regarded as a childhood sweetheart playmate.
This girl is quirky and likes to pay attention to and reason about various cases.
But her father thought she was a woman and should not pay attention to these things, so she had to come to Li Gongfu often to find out the situation.
Of course, without the permission of the county magistrate and county magistrate, Li Gongfu did not dare to say anything nonsense.
"There is such a case."
Li Gongfu nodded, thinking about how to answer.
Xu Jiaorong knew that her husband was a little embarrassed, so he quickly stood up and smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, have you eaten? I'll get you a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks and eat some more."
After saying that, Xu Jiaorong was a little embarrassed.
There were two dishes on the table, one of which was left with the last piece of tofu.
Xu Xian thought that the county magistrate's daughter would dislike this kind of food and refused directly. Unexpectedly, she glanced at the two plates of lonely dishes on the table, and nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, although I have eaten, I haven't eaten enough yet. I like the dishes made by my sister-in-law the most."
Xu Jiaorong immediately smiled and went to get the bowls and chopsticks.
Su Xiaoyu turned his head and looked at Xu Xian who was standing behind him and said, "Why are you pushing me? There are so many positions, won't you change one? I want to talk to Brother Li, you are in the way you sit here."
Hey, you're so rude. Do you think of yourself as the owner of this place?
He is so thick-skinned.
Xu Xian was too lazy to argue with her, so he took the bowls and chopsticks, sat next to him, and grabbed the last piece of tofu from the plate into his own bowl.
Su Xiaoyu took a look and immediately snatched his bowl, took the chopsticks that Xu Jiaorong brought, picked up the piece of tofu, put it into his mouth, squinted his eyes and praised: "It's delicious!"
Xu Jiaorong served her a bowl of noodle soup and took a piece of cake.
Su Xiaoyu picked up the bowl, took a few sips of the noodle soup, then put down the chopsticks and said, "I'm full and can't eat it anymore."
As he said that, he pushed the remaining noodle soup and pancakes to Xu Xian and said domineeringly: "Xu Hanwen, you eat it."
Xu Xian ignored her.
Su Xiaoyu was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, and looked at Li Gongfu and said, "Brother Li, I asked my father how the groom died. My father covered up and refused to say it. Uncle Zhang refused to tell me what was going on?"
Uncle Zhang is Zhang Wenchao, the county magistrate in charge of Qiantang County's security, and is also Li Gongfu's immediate superior.
Li Gongfu picked up the bowl, took a sip of the noodle soup, concealed the emotions on his face, and said, "I don't know much about this matter, I am only responsible for arresting people. Anyway, the person has been arrested and the case has been concluded. Xiaoyu, don't worry about this matter."
Su Xiaoyu frowned and said, "But, the bride looks like she's just a whine. Moreover, she has no reason to kill her newlywed husband, right?"
At this time, a sound suddenly sounded in Xu Xian's mind.
When the thought moves, the panel appears.
