2384 Chapter 2384-case closed
The case was closed just like that. This was the easiest case that Gu Xin had to close, but it was also the one that hurt her the most.....
She was in a bad mood and went back to her room to rest after the interrogation.
Lu Zheng helped her make the arrangements.
On the other side, Zheng Qiu had finished sewing up Hu qiangzi’s body. Although it was still obvious that it had been cut off, it was not so obvious after he put on the clothes.
Third aunt du sent people to the coffin shop overnight to buy a good coffin for Hu qiangzi. She also found the owner of the coffin shop to calculate the time and see when was the best time to enter the coffin.
Third aunt du wanted to send someone to see Hu qiangzi’s grave, but Lu Zheng stopped her.
“Let’s find a place to Park it first. Old master Qian has already sent people to look for the deceased’s biological father. If his father didn’t accept it, he would Find A Grave in Qi ‘an town! There should be news by tomorrow afternoon.” Lu Zheng explained to third aunt du.
The people of the great Zhou emphasized on acknowledging one’s ancestors and returning to one’s clan, as well as resting in the earth.
The best thing was that Hu qiangzi’s father could accept it. After all, Hu qiangzi was their blood.
Fortunately, the village was not far from Qi ‘an town, and the Zhong family had explained it clearly, so they could find out the truth by asking.
After Hu qiangzi’s father married his stepmother, he moved out of the village, but Hu qiangzi’s grandparents and uncles were still there.
……
The next morning, the people of Qi ‘an town came to watch the fun. They felt it was a pity that they didn’t hear about the trial. There was no Yamen in their town. It was rare that there was a case to be tried, but they didn’t get to see the process.
Butcher Liu and Madame Zhong were tied up and kneeling in front of Qi ‘an Inn. They were all from the same town, so they knew each other.
There were many who threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetables at them and spat at them.
Madame Zhong was still fine, but butcher Liu felt it was hard to bear.
However, no one cared about their feelings.
In the afternoon, there was news from master Qian. Hu qiangzi’s biological grandfather had made the decision and asked his uncle and uncle to come and pick him up.
The people of Qi ‘an town deeply felt that this was a family of affection and righteousness, so they were very polite to them.
In fact, what they didn’t know was that the people old master Qian had sent had used both kindness and severity. They had given a large amount of silver before letting their family come to pick them up.
Hu qiangzi was able to enter their family’s ancestral grave and even let him adopt his third uncle’s newborn grandson, so that he could have an inheritance.
Hu qiangzi’s third uncle had died. His third uncle’s family had four sons, and each of them had given birth to another eight sons. One of them died of illness at the beginning of this year, and his wife had also run away, leaving behind only a baby. He had no father or mother, and was taken care of by Hu qiangzi’s grandparents. It just so happened that both of them were poor people. Master Qian had given the old man such a large sum of money, so it was enough to raise the child.
Mrs sun appeared at night with Gu Xin, Lu Zheng and old master Qian as witnesses. In addition, the parents of the two families had divorced butcher Liu and their children were also expelled from the Liu family and officially entered into the sun family’s genealogy. From now on, they would have the sun family’s surname.
It was also because of this that butcher Liu’s side had agreed. They did not want their grandson to take another man’s surname. They could still accept him taking on his mother, Madam sun.
Constable Gao and the others had also come back. They went to the Qian clan and made two prison carts. They planned to leave Qi ‘an town early the next morning and return to the capital.
That night, Qi ‘an Inn had no guests, only Gu Xin and a few others.
Third aunt du closed the door early and took out her precious wine.
