Chapter 56 Xiang Shi is making a fuss while chewing vinegar(1/2)

Jia Jincheng was finally moved. He could get a courtyard without spending a penny. He looked back at Lai Dongsheng, who was looking at him with a face full of prayer.

"Aren't you afraid that I will take over the yard and not help you?"

Lai Dongsheng smiled bitterly,

"What can I do about this situation now? After all, you and I have known each other for many years, and I have some understanding of your character!"

Jia Jincheng stood there and thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said,

"good!"

Lai Dongsheng was overjoyed,

"You ask my mother-in-law to come in, you ask her to come in..."

Jia Jincheng nodded, went out and asked Yao to come in. Yao came out not long after she went in. After she came out, she saluted Jia Jincheng.

"Jia Wuzuo, my head has made an agreement with me. We will go to the Yamen tomorrow to change the yard to your name..."

Jia Jincheng felt a little guilty for her being so straightforward. She seemed to be taking advantage of others' danger by being so eager. Seeing how pitiful the woman was, he thought about it and sighed inwardly,

"That's all, no reward for no merit? If I didn't help him, I would take over his yard, and I would feel uneasy..."

So he said to Yao,

"Don't worry about the matters in the yard. I'll wait until tomorrow to find out what the Lord has to say... If this doesn't happen, I won't mention the matters in the yard. If it happens, we'll go to the Yamen again!"

Yao didn't expect him to be so generous. His eyes turned red and he saluted him again.

"Thank you Jia Wuzuo!"

The two agreed, and the three of them went back to Yanghua Hutong. It was already dark, and Jia Jincheng went home alone.

"father!"

The daughters were waiting for him and immediately came to greet him when he came back. Si Lian asked,

"Dad, it's so late... have you eaten?"

Jia Jincheng shook his head and Sanlian hurriedly said,

"The food is warm in the stove, I'll bring it..."

Jia Jincheng nodded and entered the room. He sat down at the table, and his daughters served the food in a hurry.

"Dad, please eat quickly!"

Sanlian served Jia Jincheng a bowl of rice. Silian sat down and asked,

"Dad, is it because of that case?"

Jia Jincheng nodded,

"There's something fishy about that case..."

So while eating, he told his fourth daughter what happened today. Si Lian's eyes widened after hearing this.

"Then... according to dad... is what landlord Lai said true?"

Jia Jincheng thought for a while and said,

"I think it's probably true..."

After saying that, while the other three daughters were not in the room, he came over and whispered,

"He promised me... to give me this courtyard, but I have to find a way to ask the adults to investigate the case for him..."

Si Lian was also very moved after hearing this.

"Then... is dad sure?"

Jiajin City Road,

"I don't know... I'll try it tomorrow... If it doesn't work... I can't get this yard for nothing..."

Jia Silian nodded,

"Just do your best!"

After the father and daughter finished talking, Sanlian brought hot water in again. After Jia Jincheng washed up, he entered the back room.

After he came back, Xiang didn't come out from beginning to end. As soon as Jia Jincheng entered the room, Xiang, who was leaning on the bed, stared at him with toad eyes.

"What did I think you were busy with these days? It turned out that you were helping that bitch from the Sun family reverse the case!"

Xiang wanted to go out just now, but she was afraid that Jia Jincheng would give her another look, so she wanted to see the situation first, so she hid behind the crack in the door and eavesdropped, and heard Jia Jincheng talking about the murder case, and the father and daughter who followed.

She didn't hear what the two whispered, but Lai Dongsheng's mother-in-law was the cousin of the widow of the Sun family. She was living in her house now, begging her man to go around in the yamen, but she could really hear it.

Xiang had long disliked the Sun widow. When she heard about this, she immediately became jealous and blamed the Sun widow. Jia Jincheng was too lazy to argue with her and ignored her coldly.

Ignoring her, he took off his shoes and sat by the bed. Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiang became angrier, straightened up and said angrily,

"Why don't you respond? Did that old goblin seduce you?"

Jia Jincheng took off his clothes and looked at her coldly,

"I'm very tired. I'm going to bed. If you keep talking, you'll have to eat a fistful tonight!"

Xiang Shi shrank in fright from his cold eyes. Jia Jincheng got on the bed and was able to stretch his muscles while lying on the bed. He took a long breath and turned his back to Xiang Shi after a while.

"Blow out the lamp!"

Xiang Shi glared at him bitterly, got out of bed and blew out the oil lamp on the table...

After a night of silence, Jia Jincheng went to the Yamen. When the time was about to come, Jia Jincheng returned to Yanghua Hutong with a gloomy face. Jia Silian went up to him and asked,

"Dad, what's going on?"

Jia Jincheng shook his head,

"My lord doesn't listen to me at all..."

This matter depends on witnesses. Lai’s neighbors and even passers-by on the street can testify. They all saw Lai Dongsheng covered in blood, holding a knife and shouting on the street,

"I'm going to kill you...I'm going to kill you..."

The physical evidence includes the sharp knife, which is consistent with the wounds on the corpse!

There was soup in the earthen pot found in the kitchen. The soup in the earthen pot was examined by a doctor. It turned out that there was indeed a medicine in it that could make people sleep. This was also physical evidence!

As for motivation, the fetus in Qiao Niang’s belly is the motivation!

There are witnesses and physical evidence in Lai Dongsheng's case, and there is a motive for murder. However, the man he said rushed out of the house could not find any witnesses or physical evidence, and no footprints could be found in his yard.

Or maybe it was the evidence from the side. Your Excellency just thought it was Lai Dongsheng who made it up randomly to get away with it, but he was slapped twenty times more!

Now Lai Dongsheng is lying in prison, only breathing out, but Jia Jincheng is still thinking about his yard, and uses the money given to him by the Yao family to buy some medicinal materials, and asks the jailer to give him internal and external use.

Just save his life.

When Jia Jincheng told his daughter about this, he frowned.

"It seems... we can't reach this yard!"

After this incident, let's see if we can buy the yard from Mr. Yao.

After talking to his daughter, Jia Jincheng went to the alley, but he wanted to talk to Mr. Yao about the case in detail, and told her that he was powerless and had no way to help, so he left the matter in the yard at that!

Jia Jincheng went to the Sun family's widow's home, but he didn't know that when he passed by the gate of his courtyard, he happened to be spotted by his son Jia You who was out for a walk.

"father?"

Jia Youchuan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Jia Jin didn't go back to the city and went into the depths of the alley.

"Dad came back so early and didn't go home. What were you doing inside?"

Then he went to the gate and stretched his neck to prop his head up to look. The alley was a straight road, and he could see all the way to the end. Jia Jincheng arrived in front of the door of Widow Sun. The door of the courtyard was open. Widow Sun was whispering comfort in the yard and crying until her eyes were as swollen as walnuts.

Mr. Yao and Jia Jincheng raised their hands and knocked on the courtyard door. They looked up and saw,

"Jia Wuzuo..."

The two of them quickly stood up and went to greet them.

"Did you tell us that he's here?"

Jia Jincheng nodded with a solemn expression. When the two of them saw his expression, their hearts sank. Yao asked him to come in and sit down while wiping away his tears.

"Sit down and talk!"

Jia Jincheng nodded and came over to sit down at the stone table.

"Uh...this..."

The widow of the Sun family saw that the news brought by Jia Jincheng was probably not what her cousin wanted to hear, so she saw that he was embarrassed and said hurriedly,

"You can tell me anything. This is a major murder case. Whether my cousin-in-law can escape or not depends on his life. You are kind-hearted in helping us. No matter what, my cousin and I are grateful to you... "

Jia Jincheng waved his hands repeatedly,

"Can't talk about it, can't talk about it..."

After a pause,
To be continued...
