Chapter Ninety-Seven: Clues
The county magistrate's face turned pale, and he was still wondering if Baicheng had entered the barbarian bandits, so he was kidnapped by him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But when he heard the masked man in front of him say: "Why did the county government want to kill these merchants", he knew in his heart.
A piece of black and white paper was thrown at him, with the name of the recently deceased merchant and the exact time of his death.
He has been an official in Baicheng for more than 20 years and more than 10 years, and he can be said to have a good friendship with these dead merchants.
Every New Year's holiday, these people also have a lot of filial piety to him money, in fact, when they die, he is more sad than anyone else.
He also felt strange about this, although the merchant lost the goods and went to the county government to look for it, but it was far from the charge of making trouble, and he got the word from above, so he arrested these merchants and put them in prison for ten days.
He was under pressure to be ruthless, so he charged these people with the crime.
With his friendship with these merchants, he would not have arrested these people in prison at all.
A few days ago, he had heard that these people were sick, and he was very strange.
He didn't embarrass them in prison, he didn't torture them, why did they all get sick?
In the past few days, he heard that these people were sick and dead, and he was a little scared.
These people are some big merchants in Baicheng, why did they all go when they got a minor illness!
He was really worried that these people would join forces to sue him, and seeing that his previous term of office was transferred at the end of his term, he really wanted to have another incident.
But just last night he got an explanation from above, telling him that he didn't care much about it.
My aunt and grandmother Amitabha, he can't hide from this if he wants to, so he will take care of it.
The county magistrate put his heart in his stomach and slept until dawn.
But I didn't expect him to be arrested tonight, but I didn't think it was because of this incident.
The county lord had seen this kind of battle, and his already pale face was even whiter after being poured with cold water.
With trembling hands, he picked up the paper and looked at it and said, "Wronged, wronged! I was originally an official of the court, how could I do such a stupid thing as harming people's lives?"
"No? Are you kidding? Do you think there will be such a coincidence in the world? These merchants in Baicheng have all been in prison for ten days with you, and they all died one after another within a few days of coming out, if you want to say that you didn't do this, you may believe it?"
I don't believe it, but what can he do, he really didn't kill these merchants.
These people are his God of Wealth, who would do such a stupid thing as cutting off his own money.
But he couldn't say this, so he had to say: "Shaoxia, please listen to me, I, Chen, have been an official in Baicheng for more than ten years, and I have a good relationship with these merchants, not to mention that it is like a person, but it is also an old friend who has been friends for many years, that is, when they are in prison, I have instructed the servants to serve them well three times a day, and I have never treated them badly, so I really don't know about this matter, and I don't know what's going on?"
Tao Xiushui listened to this person shouting injustice, but he didn't speak, and walked straight to this person, pretending to play the body of the county master very casually and said:
"Okay, I'll just believe you're telling the truth, but you tell me who has ever been to see these merchants while they're in prison."
The county magistrate shook his head, "No"
Has anyone seen you?
"This ......"
Tao Xiushui heard the demon spirit say that this person didn't lie, he told the truth, it was true that this county lord didn't harm the merchants, but he didn't guarantee that others didn't use his hands to harm people, such as drugging the food or something.
"Whether it's quick or not, we just want to know the truth, and we don't want to harm you, but if you don't cooperate, then it's two words" Chen Sanyuan scared this person at the right time.
The county master thought for a while before he continued:
"In those days, the county government did receive a person, but it was just an attendant who passed a message from the capital, saying that he was going to the border pass to deliver tokens and stayed at the yamen at night.
Tao Xiushui heard a move in his heart and asked what the person's name was.
The old man thought of this: "This person seems to be called Fu Chun"
Fu Chun, merchants have written it down and not mentioned it.
However, Tao Xiushui had a feeling, how could she feel that the collective death of these merchants was like because something was extinguished, and she didn't dare to say it when she had doubts in her heart.
If I asked if Fu Chun had ever been to the cell, the county magistrate didn't know anything.
That day, he only ordered his men to take care of this man, and that would have thought so much.
Tao Xiushui couldn't ask any more questions, so he asked someone to knock the county master unconscious and then resist back to the original place.
After all this was done, several people discussed again, but they had no idea.
The county magistrate didn't know about this, which means that their father's death was secretly manipulated.
Now that the grass has been struck and the snake is frightened, what to do is to act quickly.
Xiao An looked at everyone and said: "The most direct way for us now is to find the county master, but I can't ask anything just now, someone must have secretly made it bad, what to do next, let's talk about it together."
"By the way, I remembered" Chen Sanyuan clapped his hands and said: "There is a person in my concierge who knows the head of the county jail, and I will ask him to ask this person to see if that Fu Chun has been to him."
Everyone nodded, feeling that this trick worked.
Tao Xiushui saw that the time was midnight, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone go back to rest first, and wait for tomorrow."
When everyone was gone, Xiao An didn't leave.
"I'll send you back"
"No...... No need" Tao Xiushui was able to go out, but she walked through the main entrance, but found a dog hole outside her small room.
Xiao An didn't wait for her to refuse, and led the way in front of her: "Let's go, it'll be dark for a while."
Tao Xiushui was embarrassed for a while, this was to let the beautiful man know the rhythm of her drilling the dog hole.
I had to keep up.
Qingzhu followed behind him, looking at the two backs of a man and a woman in front of him, and his heart was bubbling with beauty.
Miss has always liked the first son, and now the two can finally come together.
The first son also sent Miss home by himself, if the two could get married, she and Miss went to live in Xiao's house.
However, Shuangyi wants to get married, this matter is a bit far away, the old man and the old man Xiao are dead, and both of them have to keep filial piety for three years before they can get married.
Miss will become an old girl in three years, and Xiao Angong is still in her prime.
The little girl thought of this and felt that the figures of the two people in front of her were not so beautiful, but a little sad.
It would be nice if the old man and the old man Xiao didn't have an accident.
Tao Xiushui, who was walking in front, felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, with Xiao An, why didn't he feel at ease with Xiao Lan'er!
Tao Xiushui knew that what she did tonight was dangerous, and it must be Xiao An who didn't let Xiao Lan'er come.
Xiao An saw that the people around him followed unhurriedly, his face was very quiet, and he said:
"If Sanyuan doesn't find out anything tomorrow, what should we do next?" he unconsciously asked the opinion of the person in front of him.
"Tomorrow......" Tao Xiushui thought about asking Chu Yi, but she couldn't say this, in that way: "Let me think about it, there will always be a way"
