Chapter 737: Famine

"My lord, what do you mean by this? Even if I have no conscience, I will not do anything to kill my mother-in-law, my lord, you can't wronged me. ”

At this time, if the second daughter-in-law didn't know that Jiang Chengyu was doubting herself, then she didn't have to mess around, Jiang Chengyu smiled shallowly: "So anxious to clear up your relationship?"

For a while, the second daughter-in-law was a little speechless.

Jiang Chengyu said lightly: "Okay, let's call your sister-in-law in." ”

nodded, walked out a little dejectedly, and called the sister-in-law in.

And the sister-in-law didn't even come out within a few minutes of going in, and the sister-in-law was also at a loss, Jiang Chengyu walked out, and the four of them all looked at Jiang Chengyu, Jiang Chengyu said with a smile: "During this time, I have to trouble a few people to stay in Quning County, don't go out of the city, and cooperate with our investigation." ”

After Jiang Chengyu finished speaking, he left, and then Brother Chen followed Jiang Chengyu and asked, "My lord, did you ask anything?"

Jiang Chengyu nodded lightly and said, "I'm afraid that I was really guessed by these neighbors, but I don't have to, this old lady's death really has something to do with these people." ”

Listening to Jiang Chengyu's words, Brother Chen was a little surprised and asked, "They admit it?"

Jiang Chengyu shook his head and said: "No, but whether a person has lied or not, it is easy to see, in this group of people, some people have lied, and the person who lies, if not the murderer, then must be the murderer's accomplice." ”

"So what do we need to do now?"

"Look for motivation. ”

"The murderer didn't act impulsively, but the personal grudge with the old lady is very deep, and we need to find the intensification point of the contradiction before we can solve the case. ”

"Don't you need the rest?"

Jiang Chengyu shook his head lightly and said, "No need, the most direct physical evidence is the murder weapon." ”

Nodding, Brother Chen asked them to continue to go out for interrogation, and Jiang Chengyu returned to the yamen, recorded all the words he said to a few people, and then deduced the problems from it, thinking about the details of their conversation at that time.

This is what Xiao Shuyue handed over to Jiang Chengyu, the memory palace, dividing his memory into rooms one by one, recording things, and when he wants to query, he will inquire in the early stage, which may seem amazing to ordinary people, but in fact, people's memory can indeed be remembered according to the logical memory, when you touch the memory of that time, you will remember the memory of that time.

At this time, Xiao Shuyue has already arrived in the west, the west is desolate, and it is true, when she arrives here, Xiao Shuyue can't help frowning, many people here are even begging, the living environment here is very bad, but Xiao Shuyue never thought that it would be so bad, people almost can't afford to eat, Xiao Shuyue couldn't help but think, this time they came to build the road, will it cause some backlash, after all, they can't even afford to eat here.

But thinking that if there is no broad road, where will the splendid mountains and rivers come from in the future, after thinking about it, Xiao Shuyue has an idea in his heart, many people in this city are looking at Xiao Shuyue and others, after all, a group of people wearing armor and dressing exquisitely are so frightening in the eyes of these people, these people ...... It is the fear of officers and soldiers.

And it didn't take long for the prefect of the city to come over to greet Xiao Shuyue.

"Lord Xiao, it's really a long time to be welcomed, I have already heard the news that Lord Xiao is coming, and I have been waiting at the city gate for this time, today, I can be regarded as looking forward to Lord Xiao. ”

Xiao Shuyue smiled lightly: "Lord Tang is polite. ”

"Xia Guan specially prepared a thin banquet in the house, and I hope that Lord Xiao will patronize him. Lord Tang said with an enthusiastic face, Xiao Shuyue smiled lightly: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Lord Tang laughed, and while speaking, he took Xiao Shuyue into his mansion and walked into this mansion of Lord Tang, the mansion is relatively clean and looks quite magnificent, but in this land of poor mountains and bad waters, it is a little confusing to have such a residence, but fortunately there is nothing else in this house, if there is something luxurious, Xiao Shuyue can't help but think about it too much.

After walking in, Lord Tang respectfully asked Xiao Shuyue to sit down, Xiao Shuyue and Lord Tang were polite, and they sat down.

And in the entire mansion, there is only one wife of Lord Tang, and two maids, and there are two small maids, looking at this courtyard is so big, but there are still very few people inside, which makes Xiao Shuyue slightly relieved.

The dishes served here can be regarded as bitter, but this Lord Tang seemed to have piled up all the good things in front of Xiao Shuyue, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, they are all small dishes, don't dislike them." ”

Xiao Shuyue smiled: "How come?"

After saying that, he ate it directly, and these things ...... Xiao Shuyue can still eat, besides, there are more vegetarian dishes, Xiao Shuyue has not yet had the degree of glue pipes, and seeing Xiao Shuyue eating these things is very natural, the two couples finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when Xiao Shuyue finished eating, Xiao Shuyue looked at Lord Tang who wanted to speak and said: "Lord Tang, if you have anything to say, you don't have to swallow and spit out." ”

Lord Tang finally found an opportunity, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Xia Guan has been an official in this western region for more than ten years, and he has more or less seen some here, do you think that the people in this city are a little too famine." ”

Xiao Shuyue nodded and said: "Indeed, the west is desolate, we all know this, but every year the tax emperor in the west is consciously reduced, or even not collected, just so that the people can live, and I have traveled all the way, this food is also quite good, how can there be so many refugees in this city." ”

"Your Excellency...... You don't know. ”

Xiao Shuyue turned her head to look at Lord Tang: "Let's hear it." ”

Lord Tang said: "Lord Xiao, you look at this grain is very good, but the people are actually almost nothing in their hands, they can only rely on a few families in the city every year to survive, and these families are only concerned about themselves every year, and now the people in this city are starving to death, I am afraid that they will not care, if it is not for the fact that I have used some tough means over the years to let these families divide some work, so that these people have something to eat, otherwise in this city, there are more people who are afraid of death." Lord Tang held back tears as she spoke, and her wife next to her also looked at her husband with a sad face: "Master." ”
