With that said, Chen Boyu changed his sitting position to kneeling on one knee, cupped his fists and performed a standard military salute: "I beg Mr. Di to redress my father's grievances!"
The voice is hoarse, yet powerful and sonorous.
Di Ying couldn't help but feel moved.
He always wonders: When will he, a mason, show up before the wall collapses?
He always feels guilty in his heart. Others have been wronged. It is his duty to help others get justice, but he always feels full of gratitude for it.
He sighed softly, stretched out his hands, helped Chen Boyu up, and patted the other person's shoulder, trying to convey the warmth of his palms to the other person.
There is no humility in the words that come out of your mouth.
He replied frankly: "Even if you can't wait for me, you will always wait for others. There are actually many officials like me in the country.
As you said: There is always light in the darkness. If I am the only one, how can I illuminate the vast night? "
To ignite the fire of hope in the heart of the suffering and confused common people, this is what Di Ying has always believed in: his duty.
Next, Di Ying asked about the other courtyard.
Chen Boyu was a little confused when he heard this. He thought for a while before replying: "That other courtyard...do I have it?"
Di Ying: "...isn't it yours?"
Chen Boyu just shook his head and nodded again: "It seems that it should be mine. I remember that someone gave it to me after I came home.
But he didn't give me the land deed, so I felt that the other party was just talking casually.
Besides, I came back to serve as a filial piety, so what do I need from another hospital? It felt like that person was trying to harm me, how could I be fooled? I didn't take it to heart. "
As he said that, Uncle Chen thought for a while and then said: "There were many people who came to deliver worship gifts at that time. I just looked at the gift list... The person's name seemed to be Yuan Zhenghao. Yes, that's right. Yuan Zhenghao is the long history of Luozhou."
Di Ying: "..."
He remembered this name and this person.
After passing through his mind, he did not talk about this topic with Chen Boyu again, but picked up the chopsticks and accompanied Chen Boyu while talking and eating.
Someone was eating with him, so he didn't have to be watched, so Chen Boyu slowly started eating along with him.
Three years have passed, and his period of mourning has also expired. He can eat some nutritious meals to replenish his body.
Especially now that he saw the hope of clearing his grievances, Chen Boyu finally cheered up.
Even if it wasn't for himself, he still wanted to overturn the case for his father. He couldn't let his father, whose name had been cleared for the rest of his life, not be able to rest in peace after his death. Then he is truly unfilial.
As soon as Di Ying left the government dungeon, he wanted to go back to his office and review two cases.
It’s about Yuan Zhenghao.
Three years ago, it was heard that Shentu Siyuan, the former accountant of Luozhou Prefectural Government, died in his own office.
The person who reported the crime was a woman named Cheng who was in charge of tea.
At that time, she brought a pot of hot tea into the house and wanted to add tea and water to Shentu Siyuan. When she entered the door, she saw a man strangling Shentu Siyuan's neck.
Mrs. Cheng was so frightened that she dropped the teapot and ran out of the house screaming.
The officials were alerted by her cry and came over. Mrs. Cheng was speechless and just kept pointing into the room.
The officials rushed into the house, but!
Nothing was found.
After they searched the entire official courtyard again, they strangely asked Mrs. Cheng, who was still in shock, what had happened.
Mrs. Cheng was wrapped in a thick blanket and shivered: "Old slave, look, I saw Master Chang Shi. Master Chang Shi pinched Master Shentu's neck... Well, it seems that Master Shentu has already swallowed. gas."
When the officials heard what Mrs. Cheng said, they quickly rushed to the official residence of Chief Shi Yuan Zhenghao.
Yuan Zhenghao is not here.
The officials went to the governor Lu Kairui to report the case. As a result, they met Yuan Zhenghao in Lu Kairui's study, who was chatting with Lord Lu about official matters.
When Yuan Zhenghao heard that he had become a murder suspect, he couldn't laugh or cry. He said: "I came to Mr. Lu's place half an hour ago, and I haven't left even half a step until now. If you don't believe it, Mr. Lu can vouch for me."
Lu Kairui nodded, confirming Yuan Zhenghao's words.
The case was eventually shelved and became a pending case, and the biggest reason was that Shentu Siyuan's body was not found.
In other words: when Mrs. Cheng saw the murder scene, not only was there no body, there was no blood, and no suspicious clues were found.
The reason why the case could still be filed is that although Shentu Siyuan's body was not found, no living person was found either. Just disappeared.
No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead.
Mrs. Cheng still insisted that she saw the murderer's face, and she was still sure that the murderer was Yuan Zhenghao. And he kept shouting.
Later, he was regarded as a lunatic and sent back to his home in the countryside, telling his family to take good care of him.
Lu Kairui also gave Mrs. Cheng's family ten taels of silver as compensation that the yamen should pay if Mrs. Cheng had an accident in the yamen.
So far, Shentu Siyuan's whereabouts are still unknown, and the case has been preserved by Lu Kairui.
But this was just the first case that struck people as bizarre.
Two years ago, the same strange case happened.
Yu Wenyao, an 18-year-old government official in the government office, was killed when he was passing through an alley while returning home from the government office.
Likewise, there was a witness, a passing lady.
The aunt told the murderer's appearance and said that she saw the murderer strangle someone to death with her own eyes.
But when the government officials arrived at the scene, the scene was still there: no body, no blood stains, and no suspicious clues.
The aunt was thought to be filing a false report.
If Lu Kairui hadn't raised his hand, this aunt's butt would have suffered at least.
Based on the aunt's description and the portrait drawn, people can easily recognize that it is Yuan Zhenghao.
It's Yuan Zhenghao again.
But when Yuan Zhenghao was found, it was only a quarter of an hour after his aunt reported the crime. Yuan Zhenghao was drinking with two friends in a restaurant.
During the dinner, the food was half eaten, and the three of them were tipsy but not drunk.
Those two people can also prove that they have been drinking here for nearly half an hour, and Yuan Zhenghao has not left during this period.
In other words: Yuan Zhenghao was inexplicably wronged again.
The strange thing is here: Yu Wenyao also saw no one when he was alive, and no body when he died.
Lu Kairui felt like his hair was about to fall out.
But no matter how much was lost, the case could only be shelved as an unsolved case. Lu Kairui even classified the two cases as missing cases.
If it weren't for Di Ying's good memory and Di Ying's habit of reading through all cases first, these two strange cases would never have been discovered.
Now, hearing the name Yuan Zhenghao from Chen Boyu's mouth again, Di Ying didn't believe it was a coincidence.
