The magistrate and Ximenqing hurried to the Wujiajiao shop, and before they arrived at the door, they were blocked by a group of onlookers.

When the two of them got off the horse and entered the store, the people became more curious, and they didn't go home to rest at noon, so they blocked the door of the samurai's foot shop and watched, wanting to see what was going on, but even the magistrate was alarmed.

However, they watched, and the door of the shop was closed, and they could not see anything, but even so, people could not resist their curiosity, and gathered around the door and refused to leave.

The people who closed the door didn't care whether they left or not, and closed the door according to Tao Bao's instructions and went back.

Ximenqing was left in the store, and he was blocked in front of the door leading to the backyard. Ximenqing already knew that the matter was about to be revealed, and he wanted to go in to see which side the county magistrate chose, but now he was blocked and planned to withdraw first, but the door was closed again, so he had to stand in the store and stare at the dozen people who were fixed.

There were two benches in the courtyard, Tao Bao sat on one, the magistrate sat on one, and Wu Da Wu Song watched in the house.

The magistrate couldn't figure out Tao Bao's thoughts, so he didn't speak, waiting for her to put forward the conditions first. He was ready to sacrifice large sums of silver.

As for taking Tao Bao, after seeing the dozen or so officials who were fixed in the store, he dispelled this idea.

Tao Bao smiled slightly, as if chatting with an old friend, and asked:

"My lord, I don't know what happened to my father-in-law and uncle, and you want so many people to take them?"

Lord Zhixian is also an old fritter, and replied kindly: "This matter is complicated, let's talk about it first, let's talk about the rest first." ”

"Oh, it's complicated, I'd like to hear the little woman even more, and I'll have to tell you about it patiently. Tao Bao continued to ask, as if he had not noticed the main purpose of the county magistrate.

As soon as the magistrate saw Tao Bao like this, he knew that this was also an old fritter, and he was destined to not have the upper hand today, so let's slowly fight with this woman.

"Here's the thing, Chen Jingye, the son-in-law of the Ximen official, has a younger brother who used to work in the yamen, but yesterday he came to your store with your uncle Wu Song to eat and drink, and when he returned home, he foamed at the mouth and died of poisoning. ”

Speaking of this, the magistrate looked at Tao Bao's expression, and saw that her face was as usual, and he secretly said in his heart: She is really a difficult character.

"After conducting an autopsy, poisonous beef was found in the stomach of Chen Jingye's younger brother, and a few days ago, your uncle had a quarrel with Chen Jingye's younger brother, and his son-in-law came to the yamen early in the morning to beat the drum and voice his grievances, accusing your father-in-law Wu Zhi and your uncle Wu Song of joining forces to murder his brother. ”

"So, Madame, do you understand?" asked the magistrate with squinted eyes, already very impatient.

Tao Bao nodded, "So that's the case, but my uncle is not the person with the little belly, how could he gang up with my father-in-law to poison and murder others? ”

Listening to her words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, this woman is really shameless, who was scared to death?

Tao Bao turned his head to look at Wu Song in the room, and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you remember what I said yesterday? Some people just look at being able to take advantage of them before they stay with you, look, this is not invited, people eat and drink well, and it depends on you when you die, let my sister-in-law say yes, next time, I can have a snack!"

Saying that, he was embarrassed to cover his mouth and smile: "It really makes adults laugh, I reminded my uncle to pay attention to the villain yesterday, but I didn't expect it to come true today." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, that notebook?" asked in a low voice, and stretched out his finger to Tao Bao at an angle that Wu Song and the others couldn't see.

This is to exchange money for it, Tao Bao understood, but pretended not to understand and asked: "What kind of book?, my father-in-law and uncle are still being framed, should we pay them back first?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, they should be returned first, in that case, please ask Mrs. to move to the county government?"

Tao Bao first asked whether the body of the second son of the Chen family was still in the yamen and whether it was complete, and got the nod of the magistrate to confirm, then he got up and called Wu Dawu Song to go out, untie the acupoints of all the officials, and instructed Rolling to guard Ying'er at home, and then opened the door, standing at the door and not moving.

When the magistrate saw it, he immediately waved his hand and ordered the officials to not only escort Wuda Wu Song, but also to hold Ximen Qing, and then turned his head to look at Tao Bao.

Tao Bao smiled at him and raised his hand to signal him to invite first. When the magistrate went out first, she followed, beckoning the people to follow as she went.

By the time they arrived at the county office, the number of onlookers had reached more than 400, so why did everyone come? It was because Tao Bao said that she wanted the dead to speak out about the murderer.

Where had the people seen the dead man speak for himself, and they followed.

There were many people, and the magistrate suddenly felt a lot of pressure, glanced at Ximenqing sympathetically, and said secretly in his heart: Brother, I'm sorry, after all, the brotherhood between you and me is still not strong enough, and it can't withstand the black yarn on my brother's head.

When people came, the magistrate of the county routinely did the process, and then according to Tao Bao's request, he ordered the second son of the Chen family, the dead Chen Yaservant, to be carried out.

The corpse had been stabbed before, and the man didn't know what he thought, so he didn't sew him up, so he wrapped a white cloth around his stomach a few times, and at this moment the blood was leaking out, and it was very oozing.

Everyone's faces were ugly, but Tao Bao's face did not fluctuate, she walked to the corpse, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, turned the corpse over, head down.

Then she took out the yellow charm and cinnabar from her sleeve and put it on her fingertips, everyone saw her shake her fingers, and the yellow charm automatically ignited, and this hand alone made everyone dumbfounded.

Ximenqing, who was also pressed and knelt on the ground, really began to break out in a cold sweat at this time, he never thought that there really was such a Qi Zodiac technique, and now it seems that he really has a mind that should not be moved, and he is afraid that he will be planted today.

looked up at the elder brother of the magistrate, but saw him looking behind him in horror, and hurriedly followed his gaze to turn back, only to see a gray face appear behind him.

The blood belt on his waist, that familiar dress, God! This is the dead Chen Lao'er!

Reflecting who was behind him, Ximenqing was so frightened that he retreated again and again, blocking his eyes with his hand and not daring to look.

The onlookers were completely boiling, watching Tao Bao's face calmly instruct the corpse of Chen Lao Er to stand up walking in the public hall, and their eyes were filled with awe.
