Chapter 32: Arrest and Arrest
Under the hint of the swordsman, the official brought by Zhao Zhutou called the housekeeper of the Li Mansion to the hall on the first floor for questioning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info it doesn't matter what you ask.
"Li Shanren, the furnishings in this house have never been touched, right?"
The swordsman asked suddenly.
"Ahem, no, this house used to be like this. ”
Although Li Shanren was puzzled, he still answered the swordsman's question truthfully.
"Why does the young man ask like this?"
Zhao Zhutou was confused, stepped forward, and secretly asked the swordsman.
"Li Shanren's stolen treasure chest was placed under the bed, right?
The swordsman explained in a whisper.
"What... does the young man mean an internal thief?"
Zhao Zhutou can achieve the position of catching the head, naturally he is not a brainless person, after the swordsman's click, he just understood it after a little thought.
"That's right, come over and see, the light in this room is placed next to the screen. How can you see a figure shining on the screen when you stand outside the door?"
The swordsman stood by the screen and said.
"That's, that's right, could it be that the housekeeper of the Li Mansion lied?"
Zhao Zhutou stood at the door and looked at the screen. Immediately, I also discovered that something was wrong.
Combined with the judgment of the thief just now, a ridiculous conclusion emerged in Zhao Zhutou's heart. Could it be that the housekeeper of the Li Mansion stole Li Shanren's treasure chest, and then the thief shouted to catch the thief and report a false case?
"Hmm. ”
The swordsman affirmed Zhao Zhutou's idea.
But what about the evidence? The swordsman kept pacing in Li Shanren's house.
Suddenly, the silver cup that Li Shanren used to take medicine on the table attracted the attention of the swordsman, he picked up the silver cup and gently put it under his nose to smell it, and then dipped a little of the medicine residue powder at the bottom of the cup with his hand and put it on the tip of his tongue to taste it.
The swordsman's face immediately changed.
Li Shanren's medicine was prescribed by him personally, and he naturally knew what medicinal materials were in it. Just now he smelled that there were two other flavors in this cup besides the herbs he had prescribed. As soon as he tasted it, he knew what it was. This cup once contained ecstasy incense and loose dissipation.
Ecstasy incense is still secondary, but it's just a loose dissipation.
When Dr. Xuan taught the swordsman, he once said that medicine can cure diseases if it is used correctly, and if it is used wrong, it may kill people. At that time, Dr. Xuan used this metaphor to be scattered.
If Xiaoyaosan is taken ordinarily, it is a tonic medicine. However, Xiaoyaosan has a characteristic, that is, once it comes into contact with silver, it will react and become toxic, and if people take it for a long time, they will accumulate toxins until they die completely.
Looking at the silver cup in his hand, the swordsman realized where he had sensed the toxin in Li Shan's body before. But was this an unintentional mistake or a deliberate one?
"Shaoxia, what's wrong with this cup?"
Seeing the swordsman holding the cup, he fell into deep thought. Zhao Zhutou asked cautiously.
"Hehe, it's not just inappropriate. ”
The swordsman sneered with a gloomy face.
"Li Shanren, I don't know where this cup came from?"
The swordsman turned his head and asked Li Shanren.
"I don't know much about this, but in recent years, my physical condition has deteriorated, and most of the things in the house are taken care of by the housekeeper. ”
Li Shanren couldn't tell the origin of this silver cup.
"This silver cup doesn't look like an old thing, why don't we go to the blacksmith's shop and ask it? ”
Zhao Zhutou looked at the appearance of the swordsman, and it seemed that this silver cup was very important, so he suggested.
So the two men took the silver cup and went to the blacksmith's shop.
The shopkeeper still has an impression of this silver cup. This is exactly what the housekeeper of the Li Mansion had built with him a few months ago. Because at that time, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion brought some silver jewelry to melt the shopkeeper to make this cup shape, and the blacksmith shop rarely received orders to make cups, so the shopkeeper recognized it at a glance.
The swordsman immediately returned to the Li Mansion with Zhao Zhutou.
The official who was sent by Zhao Zhutou to entangle the housekeeper of the Li Mansion saw Zhao Zhutou who came in and nodded at him, and immediately turned his face and took down the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.
"You, what are you doing here? I'm the whistleblower, why are you arresting me?"
The housekeeper of the Li Mansion was shocked and argued loudly.
"Hmph! What a housekeeper of the Li Mansion. ”
Zhao Zhutou sneered disdainfully, he is an upright person, and he can't see this kind of insidious rat the most. Since he knew the truth of the matter, he had endured the anger in his heart, and naturally he would not give the housekeeper of the Li Mansion a good face.
"Shaoxia, Zhao Zhutou, why is this?"
At this time, Li Shanren on the second floor heard the noise downstairs, went downstairs to check, and happened to see this scene. I couldn't help but ask.
"Li Shanren, you came down just in time, if it's convenient, please move to the county office. The theft of the Li Mansion has been solved. ”
These things don't need to be worried about by the swordsman, Zhao Zhutou is very familiar with this process.
"Could this be a mistake?"
Li Shanren couldn't react a little, how could he become a prisoner in less than a day.
"What is going on, it will be clear when I go back to the county government and ask the adults to review it. Take. ”
Zhao Zhutou arched his hand at Li Shanren, stepped forward and grabbed the housekeeper of the Li Mansion and walked towards the county office.
The swordsman helped Li Shanren to walk behind, leaving only the subordinates of the Li Mansion to point behind his back.
Along the way, Li Shanren kept sighing and sighing, counting the housekeepers who had worked hard in the Li Mansion for more than 30 years, and they would not do such a thing. The swordsman didn't know how to answer, and he didn't want things to get to this point if he could.
By the time the swordsman helped Li Shanren slowly walk to the county office, the county hall had already set up a posture, and when the swordsman and Li Shanren arrived, they immediately began to ascend to the hall.
When the Jianye County Commander saw the swordsman, he nodded at him slightly, and the swordsman returned the salute when he saw this, so he stood aside, and naturally a servant moved a chair for Li Shanren to sit down.
The housekeeper of the Li Mansion denied it in every possible way at first. He flatly denied that he had done it, but when Zhao Zhutou told most of what he had seen and heard with the swordsman in the afternoon. The housekeeper of the Li Mansion turned pale and stopped talking.
"How? Do you need to call witnesses one by one to confront you?"
The Jianye County Commander suddenly slapped the startled wood and asked sharply.
Seeing the face of the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, Li Shanren understood everything. He hesitated for a moment but stood up.
"Master County Order, this matter can be regarded as a misfortune in my Li Mansion, although the housekeeper he was confused for a while, but after all, he has served Xiao Lao'er in my mansion for more than 30 years. Can the little old man implore the master to give him a lighter punishment?"
"This..."
The Jianye County Commander groaned, this matter is not big, but it is not small, if Li Shanren pleads as a victim, it is not impossible to sentence a little lighter.
When the housekeeper of the Li Mansion heard that his master was willing to intercede for himself, he didn't know what it was like, and he also raised his head and stared at the Jianye County Order.
"No, this is absolutely not possible. ”
Zhao Zhutou suddenly stepped forward and shouted.
