After traveling through the book, I am busy as a dog. Shaoqing, can you do it?

When Min Shaoqing from the Dali Temple came to visit, Diwuxun had been lying under the tree for nearly an hour.

When Lu Chuan went to invite Diwu Xun, he had some guesses.

"It seems that Mr. Min is here because of the previous commendation case in the Ministry of Revenue."

Diwuxun turned his head in confusion.

Lu Chuan suddenly came back to his senses.

"A few days ago, Minister Chen from the Ministry of Revenue came to the Dali Temple.

At that time, my grandfather was investigating another case.

When Minister Chen was having a brief conversation with Min Shaoqing, my subordinate overheard it.

It is said that a young widow in the west of the city hanged herself.

I would like to ask the Ministry of Revenue to approve a chastity arch to honor the young widow.

But after reading the case file, Minister Chen felt that something was fishy.

So I came to ask the Dali Temple to review and investigate the death of this widow."

Min Yanzheng came here for this matter.

After the two men exchanged greetings, he handed the case file to Diwuxun.

"Please have a look at it, Fifth Shaoqing."

It takes less than a cup of tea.

After reading the fifth chapter of the case, I have already understood the details of the case.

He handed the case file back to Min Yanzheng and said:

"This case does have many illogical aspects. What do you think, Min Shaoqing?"

"The case file says that the son-in-law Qin married drowned a year ago.

Why did you commit suicide?

The reason is that she misses her husband so much that she cannot rest during the day and cannot sleep at night.

He finally became devastated and committed suicide a month ago.

But the strange thing is, since he is determined to die, how can others persuade him?

Why would one commit suicide a year after someone's death?

What's more, family affection has always been deep since ancient times, and Qin and her son-in-law gave birth to a daughter!

He is only five years old this year. How could she bear to let go of a child who is unable to take care of himself?"

Diwu Xun pursed his lips and continued:

"And the day he hanged himself happened to be the birthday of Qin's daughter and the anniversary of his son-in-law's death."

Min Yanzheng nodded and sighed.

“This is also the most abnormal part about Qin’s suicide.

Although it is her husband's death anniversary, it is also her daughter's birthday.

What kind of mother would let herself die on a day like this?

How much psychological burden would that put on my daughter?"

After a pause, he asked Diwu Xun again, "You also suspect that it was murder?"

Diwu Xun shook his head and disagreed.

“It’s clear on the corpse that Qin committed suicide by hanging.

Protruding tongue, closed eyelids, bruised face, cracked skin;

The marks left by strangulation under the throat were clearly visible and were dark in color. They ran horizontally from the hairline behind the ears on both sides and were nine feet and five centimeters long.

The coroner determined that it was consistent with suicide by hanging.”

"What the Fifth Shaoqing means is that there is no doubt about this case?"

"That's not the case. Although it was a suicide, there must be some hidden reason."

"Then are you willing to take on this case?"

"What does Min Shaoqing mean?"

"Don't misunderstand, Fifth Shaoqing." Min Yanzheng said hurriedly.

"Actually, I received a temporary transfer from the Dali Temple this morning.

It is said that ghost lights have been appearing on the Chaoyang Mountain Road leading from Qingzhou County to the capital recently, causing panic among the people.

A suspect has been arrested.

However, there are still many details and doubts in the documents submitted.

The superiors know that you have been busy with the prince's affairs, so they asked me to go to Qingzhou.

But the case in my hands is also very important, so I have no choice but to ask the Fifth Shaoqing for help. "

Diwu Xun has been busy with the Crown Prince's affairs these past two days and has not returned to the Dali Temple to report.

I had originally planned to go today, but someone inexplicably distanced me, making me feel a little anxious.

He has always been a very self-disciplined person.

After hearing this, I naturally felt that he was indeed derelict in his duty!

Then he stood up, bowed to Min Yanzheng, and said:

“It was indeed my fault.

Min Shaoqing, you're welcome.

I will take over this case, Min Shaoqing can rest assured."

Min Yanzheng didn't expect that Diwuxun would be so humble.

He and Diwuxun are from the same school and have the same job.

But since he returned to Beijing, he has been recuperating.

We had few contacts and didn't know much.

Seeing that he was so polite, she also stood up and bowed.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Fifth Shaoqing."

He took out a small scroll of manuscript from his arms and handed it to Diwuxun.

"These are the records of my visits to some of these people over the past two days. I hope they will be helpful to you."

After seeing Min Yanzheng off, Diwu Xun carefully looked through the investigation records.

Based on the contents of the case file, he reviewed the case again.

Qin's father was once the steward of a noble family, but later the family fell.

After receiving a severance pay, Qin's father opened a cloth shop in the capital.

After several years of hard work, the cloth store was doing well and they opened two more branches.

But Qin's father fell ill and died when Qin was sixteen years old.

Qin's mother later fell seriously ill and wanted to find a husband for her only daughter before she died.

Qin was a gentle and virtuous woman with fair skin and beautiful looks.

Although this was a marriage of marriage and marriage, many men still went to ask for a matchmaker to accept the marriage.

Among the men who came to pay their respects, there was one named Guan Xiao.

Guan Xiao was born with a good appearance, but his family was poor.

Although he had read a lot of books, he began to plan for his livelihood after passing the examination.

He came this time just for the generous gift that Qin's mother had promised to give as a son-in-law.

If he could marry into the Qin family, then his scholar brother would have money to continue his studies!

This will also fulfill his dream of studying!

Otherwise, sincerity is the only killer move?

Seeing that Guan Xiao was so sincere and honest, he actually stated his purpose!

Qin was deeply shocked!

She felt that such a responsible elder brother would definitely be a good official!

He then secretly fell in love with her and told Qin's mother his feelings!

Qin's mother passed away a week after they got married.

As Qin wished, Guan Xiao is a man worthy of trust!

The two are very loving and live in harmony!

The next year, they had a daughter, named Ayan.

The family business was booming and the fifth branch was opened.

But on my daughter’s fourth birthday, which was April 17 last year!

Guan Xiao went out early in the morning and had not returned until late at night!

It wasn't until the next morning that his body was found in the lake outside the city!

At the place where he fell into the water, there was the carving boat he had hastily built for his daughter!

A small roll of silk cloth bought for Qin.

Accidentally slipped and drowned is the final commentary of Guan Xiao's case.

After that, Qin cried all day long.

Because that silk cloth is an extremely rare product of Gongyu, Dongze Kingdom.

Guan Xiao was obtained for her through many connections.

If he hadn't gone to get that thing for her, he wouldn't have died young!

After that, Qin became depressed and absent-minded.

Even houses and shops were sold!

He only kept the main store and moved to the small courtyard there with his daughter.

Until the second day of Guan Xiao’s memorial day this year.

It was the five-year-old who discovered she had hanged herself.

Her own daughter, Ayan.

Early in the morning, A Yan went to find his mother!

Amid A Yan's terrified cries, the servants finally came!

See Qin hanging on the beam.

At this time, Qin had been dead for several hours.

And Ayan, because of the shock, had a high fever!

When he woke up later, he suffered from aphasia.

Ayan is young and there are no elders left in his mother's family.

Guan Xiao's younger brother is Qin's brother-in-law and also A Yan's uncle.

He and his wife took charge of the shop and took care of Ayan's daily life.

And the person who applied to the Ministry of Revenue for the chastity award was none other than this brother-in-law, Guan Chen.
