Chapter 248

Lou Shi went to Fengyang Prefecture?

Jiang Li always felt that something was wrong.

Lou Shi was still kneeling and begging him for Yang Dian Feng this morning, which shows she cares very much about this stepson.

Turning around, she packed her bags and went to visit relatives, not even planning to send Yang Dian Feng off.

This is unreasonable.

Very unreasonable.

Jiang Li held the truth pill in his palm, his brows locked.

More than an hour had passed, and Lou Shi must have left the city gate long ago.

There is only one official road to Fengyang Prefecture, but there are thousands of forks, even if he chases now, he may not be able to catch up.

Not to mention that as the head constable of Wutou Xian, it is not easy for him to leave his post without authorization.

Forget it.

If Lou Shi comes back, there will still be a chance.

If she doesn't come back, it doesn't matter; when the time is ripe, it won't be too late to find someone then.

Jiang Li returned to the county Ya Men with some regrets.

Just as he entered the door, Wei Ming ran over with a surprised expression, "Head Jiang, you are finally back, something happened!"

Jiang Li's expression condensed, "What happened?"

"Yang Dian Feng, he, he is dead!"

Yang Dian Feng's death was extremely miserable.

Brains splattered, eyeballs protruding, looking like he died with eyes wide open.

The cause of death was not suspicious.

The jailer in charge of guarding and the prisoners in the nearby cells all witnessed it; at a quarter past three in the afternoon, Yang Dian Feng didn't know what kind of madness he had, and suddenly cried and laughed, as if he had fallen into madness.

And he kept hitting the ground with his head, and kept shouting "why" in his mouth.

Finally, a loud bang.

Before the jailer tried to open the cell door to comfort him, he slammed his head into the cold and hard bluestone wall and died!

Blood, brains, flowed all over the floor...

After the coroner finished the examination, he also confirmed this.

After hearing this, Prefect Li sighed, "Carry the body away and notify the family to come and claim it."

Who could have thought that Yang Dian Feng would commit suicide!

He was clearly not that kind of person.

Even if he was exiled to the border, it wouldn't necessarily be a dead end; as long as he was smart and peaceful, and didn't act as arrogant and domineering as before, life might be a bit bitter, but there would always be a chance to survive.

Why commit suicide?

Not even afraid of death, but afraid of suffering?

Prefect Li really couldn't figure it out.

"Official, the subordinate believes that Yang Dian Feng's death has another reason."

Jiang Li said in a deep voice, "Judging from Yang Dian Feng's performance before his death, there are only two possibilities. Either he was given some kind of medicine, which could cause madness, leading him to be confused and make excessive actions."

"There is another possibility, which is that he received a huge stimulation and his heart couldn't bear it, so he could only seek relief by committing suicide."

Prefect Li nodded, "Makes sense."

He paced back and forth in the prison with his hands behind his back, his face looking very bad.

Yang Dian Feng's death is not important.

He was originally a prisoner about to be exiled, so he died if he died.

What's more, it was suicide.

But if Yang Dian Feng was really poisoned to death by someone, then this matter is big, proving that someone reached into the prison, trying to stir up trouble.

This kind of behavior must not be tolerated!

"Investigate! Investigate carefully for this official! Who is so bold as to act wild in this place!"

"Yes, the subordinate will find out the truth as soon as possible." Jiang Li said.

It's not difficult to investigate; there are only a few people who can contact Yang Dian Feng.

Including Lou Shi who came to visit the prison in the morning, and the jailer Zhang Xiao Mao in charge of guarding.

Lou Shi is indeed suspicious.

How could it be such a coincidence? Just after visiting the prison, she turned around and packed her things and went to Fengyang Prefecture; it doesn't look like visiting relatives, but more like running away.

As for Zhang Xiao Mao, he was bullied by Yang Dian Feng many times before, and also has a motive for committing the crime.

Lou Shi's whereabouts are uncertain now, so put it aside for now, and start with Zhang Xiao Mao.

"I, Zhang Xiao Mao, dare to swear to heaven that I absolutely did not poison Yang Dian Feng to death! If there is half a lie, let me have my wife and children separated and starve to death on the street!" Zhang Xiao Mao raised two fingers and swore.

It sounds very credible.

But the two fingers he used to swear were visibly trembling slightly.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and ordered people to take Zhang Xiao Mao to the torture room to give him a board first.

Zhang Xiao Mao was afraid of pain and soon confessed.

Yang Dian Feng was indeed not poisoned to death by him, but it had something to do with him.

He accepted a bribe of two taels of silver from an old man and secretly brought the person into the prison to say a few words to Yang Dian Feng.

That's all.

"I really didn't know it would turn out like this!" Zhang Xiao Mao regretted his intestines were green, "That old man said he was Yang Dian Feng's relative, here to send him the last journey, I thought it was nothing big, so I agreed, who knew..."

Who knew that after the two talked, Yang Dian Feng suddenly went crazy.

That old man was also scared away.

To this day, I don't know who it is or what his name is.

As for why Yang Dian Feng hit the wall and committed suicide, Zhang Xiao Mao was also confused.

Clearly, he was fine when Lou Shi came, and after Lou Shi left, his spirit was even more excited, and he even ate up the unpalatable food.

It couldn't be that he wanted to be a full ghost, right?

Since there was a clue, things were easy to handle; Jiang Li immediately called the painter in the Ya Men and drew the old man's appearance according to Zhang Xiao Mao's description.

Then he sent people to Yangjia Cun to investigate and see if Yang Dian Feng had such a relative.

As a result, as soon as the portrait was taken out, it was recognized by the villagers.

They said it was the village head of their Yangjia Cun, named Yang Huai.

Yang Huai was soon brought back to the Ya Men.

After hearing the news of Yang Dian Feng's suicide, Yang Huai collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly, "It's all my fault, my fault for being quick-mouthed, and I killed him!"

He told all the secrets he had buried in his heart for many years.

"Yang Dian Feng, actually, is my seed..."

Back then, Yang Huai and Yang Dian Feng's mother, Hong Xing, were originally in love and had promised each other for life, but Yang Huai's parents disliked Hong Xing for having a small butt, worried that she wouldn't be easy to give birth in the future, and refused to agree to this marriage no matter what.

Yang Huai was a filial son, so he had to endure the pain and marry someone else.

Hong Xing's family was poor, so her father made the decision, accepted a bride price of ten taels of silver, and married her to the butcher in the same village.

The butcher had a fierce face, and his temper was notoriously irritable, but he loved his wife very much.

Hong Xing was unwilling to share a room with him and cried as soon as she was touched.

The butcher never forced her, and every day he sold pork and earned money, he would buy snacks and small toys to take home to make her happy.

It's a pity that no matter what, he couldn't warm Hong Xing's heart.

Hong Xing's heart only had Yang Huai.

Yang Huai was the same.

One night, taking advantage of the butcher drinking with friends outside, Yang Huai sneaked into Hong Xing's quilt.

As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing.

The two immersed themselves in the joy of this affair and couldn't extricate themselves.

Until two months later, Hong Xing discovered she was pregnant.

She was panicked and had no idea what to do.

If the butcher found out, neither she nor Yang Huai would live; the butcher would definitely use a pig-killing knife to hack them to death!

After the two discussed, they decided to "blame" the child on the butcher.

So that day, when the butcher came back with osmanthus cake again, Hong Xing took the initiative to offer herself for the first time.

The butcher thought his dedication had finally moved Hong Xing and was so happy he almost cried.

Half a month later, Hong Xing told the butcher about her pregnancy.

The butcher was overjoyed and held her in the palm of his hand even more, afraid that she would suffer even a little bit of grievance.

Half a year later, the child was born.

It was a big fat boy weighing eight pounds.

The midwife smiled and said, this shows that he was well-nourished in the womb, and even full-term babies rarely weigh this much!

The butcher is not a fool.

How could a child born two months early have such thick hair? Such a rosy face?

This child is not his!

He was wearing a green hat on his head!!

The butcher smashed everything in the house to pieces, snatched the child from Hong Xing's hands, and threw him into the manure pit in a rage.

Hong Xing fainted on the spot.

And the child was saved by the neighbors, almost losing his life.

The butcher who calmed down still forgave Hong Xing, and Hong Xing also swore that she would live a good life with him in the future.

Although the butcher forgave Hong Xing, he hated the child deeply.

Whenever he was drunk, he would take it out on him, beating and scolding him were common things.

Because Hong Xing felt guilty in her heart, she didn't dare to stop him.

Such days passed year after year.

Hong Xing gave birth to another son, and this son was the butcher's own.

The butcher was very excited, treating this child as a treasure, giving him whatever he wanted, and even sent him to school.

He thought he had finally suffered through the bitterness and could live a good life as a family.

Who knew that the child fell into the manure pit that year and died young.

(Oh my mom, I can't finish writing, no matter what, I finally wrote one to death, it's too hard for me! Yang Dian Feng is officially offline, all the bad guys must go offline for me!)
