“Are master deer’s family members still around?”
He handed the confession to Li Yuchun.
Li Yuchun shook her head. I’m not in charge of this case, so I’m not too sure. I’ll help you ask around.
He took the confession, stood up, and left. About 15 minutes later, Li Yuchun returned and said, ‘
“Master deer died of illness a long time ago. According to the law, she sold people and was sentenced to death, beheading, exile, and caning depending on the severity of the crime. If the Father dies, the son will pay for it, and his crime will be reduced by two grades.
“Master deer’s crime shall be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. Because of his death, his son paid for it and was demoted to a second class. At that time, he had already been exiled to the border. Master deer’s first wife is still alive.” Xu Qi ‘an finished his tea in one gulp, stood up, and said, ‘”‘Take me to her.”
Although master deer had accumulated a lot of wealth in his early years, he knew that his profession was ‘dangerous’. He had prepared a backup plan long ago. He bought a house in the inner city and left behind a lot of wealth.
After his son was exiled, master deer’s first wife moved into the inner courtyard with her family. They could have still been living a life of luxury.
However, the night watchmen were all troublemakers who extorted the family members of the human traffickers every few days, draining them of all the black money they earned.
Hence, master deer’s family moved back to the outer city. They were now living in a small courtyard in the North City. They had a grandson, a daughter-in-law, and a grandmother.
Li Yuchun and Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the door of the small courtyard. It was a Pretty Woman with a weak expression.
She was washing her clothes and was wearing a coarse dress.
In the yard, a child was riding a bamboo horse, and a white-haired old woman was raising chickens.
The old woman and the young woman’s expressions changed drastically when they saw Li Yuchun’s night watchman uniform. The latter was submissive and trembling all over, while the former was very shrewdly throwing her dustpan away, crying and shouting,
the soldiers are bullying me. The soldiers are bullying me again. You can just force me to my death. Even if. die. I’ll let the villagers see the faces of you bastards …
The old woman must have been tough when she was young, so it was not strange. After all, she was the first wife of the leader of the human traffickers.
Li Yuchun stepped forward and kicked him a few times, scolding, “”Shut up. If you make any more noise, I’ll catch your grandson and sell him off.”
As if she had touched the old lady’s sore spot, she quieted down and glared at Li Yuchun and Xu Qi ‘an with hatred.
Xu Qi ‘an closed the door, walked around the piles of chicken poop, and strode to the old woman. He said in a deep voice, “”1’11 ask you a few questions and you’ll have to answer honestly.”
