"Good! How dare you deceive this officer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info look, what is in this? Qian Xian Ling shouted.

Sun Xuezhi glanced at the package, and his face turned pale.

"My lord, this package is not from the grass people, someone must have planted the blame." Sun Xuezhi argued.

"Shopkeeper, let me ask you, did Sun Xiucai do anything last night?" Qian County Ling asked.

The shopkeeper was also surprised, Sun Xiucai was just a poor Xiucai who was wandering the streets, why did he have so many gold, silver and jewelry in his package? Could it be that he is a Jiangyang thief who uses selling calligraphy and paintings to disguise his identity?

"My lord, this Sun Xiucai has lived in this store for more than half a month, and has always made money by selling calligraphy and paintings, this point, the villain can testify, as for whether the gold and silver jewelry in this package is his, the villain can't figure it out. Sun Xiucai lived upstairs, and Caomin lived downstairs, and he was never seen downstairs at night. The shopkeeper said.

"It doesn't matter, the official can check them one by one. You, come here. Qian Xian Ling pointed to an old man.

The old man was of medium height, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a simple face, and when he heard the summons, he trembled and walked over.

"What's your name? When to come to the inn? Qian County Ling asked.

"Zhang Ergou, a grass man, came to the inn last night, and he was going to leave today, but the shopkeeper didn't let him leave." The old man said.

"There were two lodging people at the inn last night, do you know?" Qian County Ling asked.

"You know, a man of about sixty years old, wearing a blue robe, a pale yellow scarf on his head, a northern accent, and a very kind speech. One was about forty years old, wearing a gray robe and a felt hat, with a gloomy face and little speech. The old man said unabashedly.

"Do you know the names of those two people? Where do you live? Qian County Ling then asked.

"This-the grass people don't know very well, but the shopkeeper should know." The old man hesitated for a moment and said.

"Look at you are quite honest, go down first, don't leave the inn for the time being, if you know anything new, let me know at any time." Qian County Ling said.

The old man bowed and retreated, and Qian Xianling looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old boy, beckoned to him and shouted, "Little friend, come over here." ”

The young man was so frightened that he looked at the middle-aged man beside him, and he didn't dare to step forward.

"Go ahead! He is the master of the blue sky, and he is here to ask about the case, don't be afraid. The middle-aged man said.

The young man slowly came to Qian Xianling, and asked in a panic: "Big, adult, is there something?" ”

"It's okay, just ask. What's your name, kid? Where do you live? Qian County Ling asked.

"I-my name is Xu Pengfei, and my home is by the sea." The boy said.

"Who is that person?" Qian County Ling pointed to the middle-aged man and asked.

"It's my uncle." Xu Pengfei replied.

"Why did your uncle bring you here?" Qian County Ling asked.

"Come to my dad. When I heard that my father had made a fortune, my uncle took me to join him. Xu Pengfei spoke fluently.

"What is your father's business?" Qian County Ling was puzzled.

"It's—I don't know." Xu Pengfei shook his head.

"What's your father's name? Been out for a few years? What does he look like? Qian County Ling asked.

"I don't know." Xu Pengfei still shook his head.

Qian County Ling was even more puzzled, how could a son not know his father's name? Can't remember what it looks like? Unless I haven't seen it since I was a child.

"Go down! Call your uncle over. Qian County Ling said.

Xu Pengfei retreated timidly, and the middle-aged man came over and said, "Adult, don't be surprised, this child was still young when my brother went out to do business, of course he didn't remember." ”

"What's your name? What's your brother's name? Qian County Ling asked.

"The grass people's name is Xu Dapeng, and my brother's name is Xu Dayong. Ten years ago, my brother left his hometown, and I don't know what he was doing outside. A few months ago, my brother asked someone to bring back the news, saying that he had made a fortune in Linjiang County, and that he wanted me to come to Linjiang to do business with him. Xu Dapeng spoke eloquently and without flaws.

"Did your brother say what kind of business to make a fortune in Linjiang County?" Qian County Ling asked.

"Well—he didn't talk about it, he just said it." Xu Dapeng said.

"Your brother is in Linjiang County, why did you come to Qingshui Town?" Qian County Ling asked.

"The county seat is not far from Qingshui Town, and my brother wants us to wait for him in Qingshui Town." Xu Dapeng said.

"How many days have you two been in Qingshui? Is there any news of your brother? Qian County Ling asked.

"We've been here for three days, and we've been asking around, but we haven't heard from him." Xu Dapeng said.

"Master, Xu Dayong asked his younger brother to bring his son to Qingshui Town, why didn't he show up? Is there something wrong with that? Qian Xianling turned around and asked the master.

"My lord, have you ever heard of 'tomb robbers'? A few days ago, a case was cracked in Linxian County and several tomb robbers were arrested. Master reminded.

Xu Dapeng's face changed suddenly when he heard this. He had heard about tomb robbers for a long time, and heard that there were many tomb robbers who dug up ancient tombs and stole antique relics and made a fortune.

"My lord, is there a coastal man named Xu Dayong among those tomb robbers?" Xu Dapeng asked suddenly.

"This case happened in Linxian, the official is not clear, if you want to inquire, pay the information fee of fifty taels of silver first." Qian County Ling said.

"My lord, our uncle and nephew have come here, and they are exhausted, how can we hand over any silver, please have mercy on us." Xu Dapeng knelt down and pleaded.

"You are all suspects, you must pay bail to be free, if you can't pay it, you can only stay in the inn." Qian County Ling said.

Xu Dapeng stood helplessly.

"Stand aside and don't get in the way of your business. You--come here. Qian Xianling pointed to a young man standing on the left.

"My lord, what do you command?" The young man walked over generously and asked.

"What's your name? When to come to Clearwater? Why are you here? Qian County Ling asked.

"Wu Huan, a grass citizen, came to Qingshui Town the afternoon before yesterday to visit relatives and friends." The young man said calmly.

"What kind of relatives are you visiting? What kind of friend are you visiting? Qian County Ling asked.

"Do you want to explain this? Can't grass people have the right to privacy? Wu Huan asked rhetorically.

"Of course. There was a murder case in Qingshui Town, and this case was related to this inn, and everyone in the inn could be a murderer, so the official had to interrogate them one by one. Qian County Ling said.

Wu Huan heard this, pondered for a moment and said: "The grass people have no relatives in Qingshui Town, only one brother who worships the son, and he said that he will match me and talk about a family business. So, here I am. ”

"What's your brother's name? Did you see him in Qingshui? Qian County Ling asked.

"His name is Ouyang Jiashen, and he lives in Qingshui Town. He asked me to go on a blind date at the Four Seas Inn, so I had to wait for him at the inn, and I haven't seen him yet, so I don't know where he is. Wu Huan said.

"How old is Ouyang Jiashen? What did you do before? Qian County Ling asked.

"He is in his forties, he is a runner, so he has a good knife technique, and the two of us met in Shandong, and we hit it off at first sight, so we became brothers." Wu Huan said.

"Do you know what he used to do?" Qian County Ling asked.

"This-the grass people don't know." Wu Huan shook his head and said.

"What do you do for a living? How did you and him meet? Qian County Ling asked, he felt that this Ouyang Jiashen was suspected of committing a crime.

Wu Huan raised his eyes and saw Qian Xianling's aggressive gaze, and he was sincerely frightened, and he subconsciously lowered his head in contemplation.

Seeing that Wu Huan was silent, Qian County Ling only felt more suspicious, so he said: "Ouyang Jiashen is the most suspicious, you are involved with him, and you can't get out of it, this official will take you back to the yamen for re-interrogation." ”

"My lord, the grass people are wronged, can you be accommodating?" Wu Huan said.

"Master, you make it clear to him that I am on business. The official is tired and needs to rest. Qian County Ling stood up and yawned.

There was the sound of horses' hooves on the street, getting closer and closer, Huang Zhutou walked out of the house to look, only to see a servant dismounted and hurried over.

"Master, it's not good, something happened to the yamen." The servant ran in sweating profusely and shouted.
