"Brother, that Qian County Commander is not a good person, don't be deceived by him. The money was ill-gotten gains, and we confiscated it. Grass Flying said.
"Big brother, for the sake of Lord Zhao's face, you go back to the Mountain Temple with me, Lord Zhao is not confused, he knows what to do?" Ying'er said.
"Alright! Listen to you. "Cao Shangfei and Xu Dayong returned to the Mountain Temple.
"Two heroes, it's not a long-term solution for you to fall into the grass, it's better to dismiss everyone and stay by my side to be a helper." Zhao Renjie said.
"Lord Zhao, we are all brothers, we want to go together, we want to stay together, and it is up to the adults to decide where to go." Grass Flying said.
"How many of you are together? What are the skills? Zhao Renjie asked.
"We are eight brothers, we have been in the rivers and lakes for several years, and all of them have stunts, although we don't have any great skills, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary villains." The grass flew and whistled, and the eight brothers arrived together.
Zhao Renjie saw that they were all extraordinary, and immediately took them in as followers.
"Lord Zhao, these silver taels were scavenged from the common people, and they should be returned to the common people." Grass Flying said.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Zhao Renjie said.
When Qian County Ling heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "This money is official silver, and it can't be moved." ā
"Official silver? Linjiang County is not rich, where does all this silver come from? Zhao Renjie asked.
Qian County Ling couldn't answer for a while.
The master saw that Zhao Renjie was not easy to fool, so he had to keep silent.
"Qian County Order, you are the parent official here, the homicide case in Qingshui Town is still up to you, this official is here, I can help you refer to it when necessary." Zhao Renjie said.
"Lord Zhao, are you Qincha, or will you handle it, Qian Mou's ability is limited, and he has nothing to do." Qian County ordered to excuse himself.
"Yes, Lord Zhao, it's still up to you to decide, I heard that you have solved the case and become a god, so we can learn from the experience." The master echoed.
"Oh well! Immediately return to the county office and interrogate the suspect. Zhao Renjie agreed.
Qian Xianling and Master glanced at each other and tacitly agreed.
The group came to the county office, and Zhao Renjie was promoted to ask about the case.
All the tenants of the Four Seas Inn were brought to the lobby, and Zhao Renjie interrogated them one by one.
The master showed Zhao Renjie the autopsy report and the record of the inn's questioning, and Zhao Renjie felt that Sun Xuezhi and Wu Huan were quite suspicious, especially the clue provided by Wu Huan was very important.
"Ouyang Jiashen is a swordsman and a native of Qingshui Town, he made an appointment to meet Wu Huan, but he didn't show up for a long time. The deceased was hacked to death with a sharp blade, and looking at the edge of the knife, it is certain that the criminal's knife skills are good and the means are enduring. Zhao Renjie pondered in his heart.
"Qian County Order, have you ever heard of this Ouyang Jiashen?" Zhao Renjie asked.
"Ouyang Jiashen has never heard of it, but the name of the swordsman is very familiar. Three years ago, there was a swordsman named Liu Wu who had an argument with someone in the county seat, killed two individuals, was arrested by the official, and died in prison. This Liu Wu is also from Qingshui Town, and his modus operandi is roughly the same as the murder case the day before yesterday. Qian County Ling said.
When Zhao Renjie heard this, he was skeptical and asked, "Is it Liu Wu who died in prison?" Did you identify yourself at the time? ā
"The subordinates don't know much about this matter, you have to ask the master, who was responsible for disposing of the corpse at that time." Qian County Ling said.
"Master, you explain the situation in detail, how did Liu Wu die? How do you dispose of corpses? Zhao Renjie asked.
"His subordinates sent two officials to throw him in the suburbs." The master said.
"Where are those two servants? Call them in. Zhao Renjie felt that Liu Wu's death was still a mystery.
"My lord, those two officials died last year." The master said.
"Dead? How did he die? Zhao Renjie was very surprised.
"They died at home, as if they were sick and dead, and they had no scars on them." The master said.
"Sick to death? How so? Why did they both get sick and die? There must be a reason for this. Zhao Renjie said.
"At first, I also suspected that after the autopsy, it was confirmed that the deceased had died of madness." Qian County Ling said.
"Crazy? Probably hell! Zhao Renjie sneered.
"My lord is amazing, in a word. Yes, the official dragged Liu Wu's body to the outskirts and was about to bury it, but he heard a cough, and Liu Wu suddenly turned into a zombie. When the official saw it, he was so frightened that he lost his soul. Later, he lost his mind and died at home. Master said.
"Liu Wu turned into a zombie? How so? Maybe Liu Wu died and came back to life. Zhao Renjie pondered in his heart.
"My lord, according to his subordinates, Liu Wu is not dead, his death in prison is only a superficial phenomenon. My subordinates once heard the master talk about a kind of kung fu called turtle breath gong. This kind of kung fu can cause the phenomenon of fake death, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the real from the fake. The turtle breath gong can last for one day and one night, and some can even last for two days and two nights. Liu Wu is a person who practices martial arts, and he must learn the Dafa of Turtle Breath. He killed two people, and knew that he would not escape death, so he used this method to escape the death penalty. Ying'er said.
"Makes sense! This Liu Wu must have used fake death to escape responsibility. Zhao Renjie felt that there was such a possibility.
"My lord, could Liu Wu be Ouyang Jiashen? Perhaps Ouyang Jiashen is Liu Wu's pseudonym. Zhao Yu was puzzled.
"It's possible. Qian County Order, is there any facial feature of Liu Wu in the county government case file? Zhao Renjie asked.
"Yes, it's just that there are no shadow graphics." The master said.
"Take a look and don't miss a thing." Zhao Renjie said.
The master brought Liu Wu's case file to the lobby, Zhao Renjie read the case file and felt that Liu Wu's death was indeed strange, so he interrogated Wu Huan, Wu Huan told Ouyang Jiashen's age, figure, and facial features, Zhao Renjie compared them one by one, and his figure and age were basically the same, only the facial features were different. Liu Wu has a pockmarked face and no beard; Ouyang Jiashen doesn't have pockmarks, but he has sideburns and beards. According to Wu Huan's description, Zhao Renjie did not dare to draw a conclusion to prove that Liu Wu was Ouyang Jiashen.
"Qian County Order, is there a painter in Linjiang?" Zhao Renjie asked.
"Linjiang is just a small county, where are the painters? I heard that there is a painter in Yangzhou who is very famous, so it is better to invite him. Qian County Ling said.
"The case is imminent, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the Four Seas Inn is open for business, and the tenants can't always be detained, and the case must be solved as soon as possible." Zhao Renjie said.
"My lord, among the tenants of the Four Seas Inn, isn't Xiucai Sun Xuezhi making a living by selling calligraphy and paintings? Why should we go far and near? Master reminded.
A word woke up the person in the dream, Zhao Renjie immediately passed Sun Xuezhi to the hall and instructed the master to bring the four treasures of the study.
In order to get out as soon as possible, Sun Xuezhi did not shirk, he sat on the table next to him, and according to Wu Huan's dictation, he drew the head of Ouyang Jiashen, and then drew the head of Liu Wu.
"Wu Huan, look at these two people, what is the difference between their faces and eyes?" Zhao Renjie asked.
Wu Huan looked at it carefully and said ambiguously: "It seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be." The face shape is similar, and the eyes are similar, but this pockmark and beard are very special. ā
Zhao Renjie pondered for a moment after listening, then suddenly stood up and shouted: "Ouyang Jiashen is probably Liu Wu's pseudonym, Liu Wu is a person in the rivers and lakes, since he knows the Turtle Breath Dafa, maybe he can disguise himself." The full beard is fake, maybe wearing a mask. Huang Zhutou, you and Cao Shangfei, Xu Dayong, and Zhao Yu each took two servants to disguise themselves as ordinary people, and acted separately to quickly find Liu Wu's whereabouts, and once they found out, they were arrested immediately. ā
Zhao Renjie ordered to go down, and Huang Zhutou and the others went separately. Ying'er saw that she had no task, and she didn't feel good in her heart.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, what should I do?" Ying'er looked at Zhao Renjie with a twinkle in her eyes and asked.
"There are more important tasks waiting for you, so I won't tell you for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I think about it." Zhao Renjie said with a wry smile.
Qian County Linghe saw that Zhao Renjie was left alone, and he was overjoyed.
"Lord Zhao, are these silver taels put back in the treasury?" Qian County Ling asked.
"Of course. However, this is only a temporary storage, and a decision will be made when the case is solved. Zhao Renjie said.
Qian Xianling glanced at the master, and the master nodded and made a look.
Zhao Renjie saw it in his eyes and deliberately pretended to be inadvertent.
