Chapter 1266 Mother, What Are You Looking For?

Zhang Mazi, a well-known gangster on Dongwu Street, was a coward, gambler, greedy and lustful, and was a complete scumbag.

But no matter how mediocre Zhang Mazi was, when her mother was still alive, she still used the coffin book she had saved all her life to buy him a daughter-in-law.

He had just married a daughter-in-law, but later Mrs. Zhang fell seriously ill and died. From then on, this Zhang Mazi let himself go, made a lot of friends, and always brought people he didn't know into his home.

Some people say that this pockmarked man owed dozens of taels of gambling debt and couldn't pay it back. He forced his wife into prostitution and used his home as a brothel to force his wife to pay off the debt.

Regardless of whether these rumors are true or not, the reputation of Zhang Mazi's wife is completely gone.

Because of these rumors, Zhang Mazi's daughter-in-law always shrinks back when she goes out, and she usually sobs at home.

But Zhang Mazi was so stubborn that he would beat his wife whenever she cried, until the neighbors could hear her. He would continue to bring strangers home at night.

Everyone says that this pockmarked wife is pitiful, but what can be done? The daughter-in-law is bought and has a contract of sale. Even if she runs away, she can be reported to the officials and caught. There is no way to survive.

So, after two years of life worse than death, Zhang Mazi's wife exploded.

Perhaps with the idea of ​​perishing together, Zhang Mazi's daughter-in-law was dressed in bright red and covered herself with oil. Carrying an oil drum and a torch, she chased Zhang Mazi from home to the street.

It is easy to hide from people you see on the street, but the street is narrow and the carriage is wide, so it is not easy to hide from the carriage! The horse was frightened and bucked in the street. The people in the carriage were shaken and were thrown around. They were jolted so hard that they almost vomited out jaundice.

The pedestrians on the side were also anxious. The horse lost control. If the people in this tall carriage were thrown out of the carriage, they would be injured or disabled.

Everyone tried to think of ways to calm the horse first, but the horse was frightened by the torch. Not only was it not calm, but it was struggling more and more fiercely.

Just when the man fell on his back, Zhang Mazi's wife was so frightened that she dropped the torch and the oil barrel.

With a "crash", the torch ignited the canvas on the side of the car, and oil spread everywhere.

There were frantic horses, burning carriages, women's cries for help, and children's cries in the carriages, but no one dared to approach them anymore.

Put out the fire, you must put out the fire quickly!

But here it faces the street, there is no well, and even finding a bigger basin is difficult! The carriage is surrounded by oil and fire, which will ignite as soon as it touches it. Who dares to get close? !

When someone finally came over with water to pour on the fire, there was no sound in the thick firelight.

When the fire was finally extinguished, everyone rushed over and saw two dark corpses, one big and one small. They were Sun Mansion's wet nurse and Young Master Sun Jun.

This matter spread throughout Xijin County in a short time.

Liu Wei naturally also received the news, and after hearing it, he was stunned and stagnant.

It’s hard to describe what this feeling is like. The person you saw just a moment ago will never be seen again in the future...

Xiao Li was also extremely surprised, but what he was thinking of was another aspect: "Forget it Sun Jian and Sun Tong, they were murdered after all, but Sun Jun didn't offend anyone, how could he meet someone when he just went out? Such a disaster? The Sun family is so unlucky."

Liu Wei slowed down, pondered for a moment, and said to his son: "Let's go."

Xiao Li followed her mother stupidly: "Where are you going?"

"Tobu Street."

When Liu Wei arrived, Dongwu Street had already been taken over by the Yamen. Crowds gathered around the crime scene. Everyone was pointing and could faintly hear the Yamen shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! No!" If you come any closer, there’s nothing interesting to see about dead people, so just go away, go away!”

Xiao Li was short and nimble. He took off his mother's hand and got into the innermost part. Liu Wei also went in and smelled a burnt smell as soon as he got close.

The scene can be said to be very miserable. Even though there were many people separated, two human bodies could be seen under the carriage that had been burned to the ground by the fire.

The sound of sobbing came from the surroundings. When I turned around, I saw several young girls dressed as maids from the Sun family talking to the yamen servants.

Liu Wei patted Xiao Li's head and signaled.

Xiao Li understood and ran to the government servant who was asking questions.

The yamen official knew Xiao Li. When he saw this, he asked him why he came here. Xiao Li said that he was passing by and asked him to continue asking.

According to the maid of the Sun family, Sun Jun went out today because his nanny wanted to take him to the Tianfu Incense Pavilion on South Street to burn incense.

There have been too many things going on in the Sun family recently. Mrs. Sun was worried that some bad luck would affect her grandson, so she chose to ask the nanny to take Sun Jun to the incense shop today. She had planned to go there a long time ago, but because of Liu Wei and Xiao Li's sudden visit was delayed, so he had to wait until they left before going. But who would have thought that he would be so unlucky and die on the way there.

The maids of the Sun Mansion cried while talking, and finally broke down in tears. They have all taken care of Sun Jun since he was born, not to mention how much affection they have. Just saying that the master died, but the servant is still alive, this is already the case in the Sun Mansion. What a huge sin.

But who can blame this?

Although the Sun family is said to be a wealthy local family, in the final analysis they are just a county official. The family only owns a large luxury carriage, which is built like a small house. Although Sun Jun is accompanied by a group of maids, they are still with him. The only people riding in the carriage were the wet nurse and the coachman, while the others were walking.

When a fire broke out before, the maids of the Sun family trotted to catch up, but how could they dare to rush into the fire alive? I don't want my life!

While the maid of the Sun family survived, the coachman also saved his life. Because of the horse's kick, the coachman was thrown off the coach and fell to the ground several times. His arm was broken, so he was not affected by the fire. spread to.

The carriage windows were heavily patterned, making it impossible to get through. The carriage was also more heavily decorated in the cold weather, and the front door consisted of a pair of doors, but they were locked by the coachman's long and wide seat, so naturally they couldn't be pushed open from the inside. People outside didn't even have the courage to rush into the fire and open it.

Xiao Li asked everything that needed to be asked, and relayed it to her mother when she came back.

Liu Wei listened and walked towards the carriage.

When a government official wanted to stop him, Xiao Li stood up and said, "Let's just take a look."

The government officials knew Xiao Li and stepped aside after hearing this. They just looked around Liu Wei curiously.

The two bodies had not been removed yet, and Liu Wei walked over.

A government official couldn't help but said: "Who are you? Don't touch me!"

Liu Wei didn't even raise his head and said, "Who am I? Ask your county magistrate!"

The yamen servant was immediately frightened, thinking it was someone related to him, and he immediately did not dare to shout any more.

Liu Wei carefully took out Sun Jun's body, placed it on the ground and looked at it carefully.

Xiao Li also watched from the side. After watching for a while, he whispered to his mother: "The cause of death is not suspicious. He was indeed burned to death."

Liu Wei remained silent and continued to read.

Xiao Li was puzzled: "Mom, what are you looking for?"

Just as Liu Wei was about to say something, he suddenly touched something on Sun Jun's neck and twisted it carefully. It was the sticky substance formed by the melting of clothes and skin oil.
