Zhao Heng is a head catcher, thirty-four or five years old. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info body is five short, the face is white and beardless, the temples are slightly bulging, and the eyes are cold and sharp when looking at people.

On this day, he came out of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion with his head held high, and walked down the street with two messengers behind him. A middle-aged man walked across the street.

The man lowered his head and walked quickly, walked in front of Zhao Heng and said "Huh", retreated in front of him and saluted: "Zhao Zhutou?" ”

Zhao Heng glanced at it: The middle-aged man was wearing a silk storage blue-collared gown, a dark face, a small hat, and blue-bottomed silk storage cloth shoes, which was a common steward in the ordinary capital. This person Zhao Heng didn't know.

"Something?" Zhao Heng straightened his chest and frowned slightly. He was a man of the public family, and he immediately showed arrogance to the man who looked like a steward.

The middle-aged man nodded: "I am the shopkeeper of the Fulai Inn in the east of the city." As for the death of those brocade weavers, I have some important clues, and I am about to go to the yamen to find you. ”

The case has been decided, but this inconsequential outsider has come to talk about something. Zhao Heng stared at the middle-aged man for a long time, unable to remember when the shopkeeper had participated in the investigation of that case. That case has been determined that Miss Jiang is the instigator of the murder, and this result cannot be changed. In order to prevent accidents, he couldn't help but listen to the situation reported by the middle-aged man.

Therefore, he picked up the head-catching frame and asked coldly: "What clue?" ”

"One of our guests at the inn followed the murderer that night, and may know his identity." The middle-aged man said.

"Oh?" If someone follows them, will they involve the people of the Qin Mansion? There are a lot of talented people in the rivers and lakes, could it be that someone really saw through their tricks? Thinking of this, Zhao Zhu's hair was stunned.

Stunned, he asked, "Why didn't that guest come?" Where is he now? "It's very enthusiastic.

He said that the murderer was big and afraid of killing people, so it was inconvenient for him to show up, so he waited for news not far away. Or go back and let him go to the yamen by himself. The middle-aged shopkeeper turned around and left.

Zhao Heng winked, and the two messengers behind him stepped forward to block the shopkeeper, "Take us to see him." ”

The middle-aged man turned around in front, and the road became more and more secluded, and gradually came to an abandoned garden.

"He's just waiting inside." The middle-aged man led the way into the garden. The three headhunters followed.

A stone table was set up in the middle of the garden, and a white tablecloth was spread on the table. There was a jade chess set on the table, as well as a gambling set, the usual dice.

The dice are made of white jade and have a green tinge. The hand that grabbed the dice also seemed to be carved from white jade, with snow and moist skin, water shadow and beautiful bones.

Looking up again, the owner of this hand was dressed in brocade, black hair like clouds, hibiscus flower face, apricot eyes did not look at people, and the right hand took the dice and landed on the jade plate on the table, and there was a sound.

Zhao Zhutou was stunned: He had seen this woman, it was Jiang Li, the ninth lady of the Jiang family. Such a young, beautiful, beautiful and vulgar young lady is also a rare figure in the capital.

Ever since he saw her that day, Zhao Heng has always felt sorry for her in his heart. It's just a pity for such a snow-skinned woman, how could she offend Qin Yuanhua so ruthlessly, and the first son, who was so overwhelmed by how many women in the capital, had to nail the beauty to death.

To her right and left stood two servants, a man and a woman. It is Xiaoxiang and Sixi.

"Miss Jiang?" Zhao Zhutou was surprised.

Jiang Li finally gave up the dice in his hand, and looked up with a look of anger or displeasure: "Zhao Zhutou is here." Pointing across the stone table, "Sit down and talk?" ”

Zhao Zhutou did not sit. His face was slightly cold: "You brought me here?" ”

Looking back at the shopkeeper who led the way, the man had already ripped off the hat on his head, revealed his hair on his head, sat down on the opposite side of the stone table, pointed to the chess and said, "You can bet anything with me except this!" ”

Jiang Li smiled and nodded.

It is said that this Chu Feng is addicted to gambling, as long as he wins the bet, he will do anything for you. It's a pity that I haven't studied the gambling equipment carefully in my past or present life, and I can only play the simplest dice. However, fortunately, I went out today with chess.

Of course, she couldn't play the crazy gambler Chu Feng by rolling the dice, but when she took out the chess, Chu Feng admitted defeat before she could set the chessboard. Who asked him to allow Jiang Li to choose his own gambling equipment?

Afterwards, he thought that if he really supported him for a while, fortunately, Jiang Li did not compare with him to be a knitting girl and read and write. So he happily ran this leg for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't look at Chu Feng, stared at Zhao Zhutou and said to Chu Feng: "Today's game is over, let's get down to business first." ”

Zhao Zhutou had a bad premonition in his heart. But there was only a delicate young lady in front of her. Look at the girl next to her is also a slender appearance, although the male servant has a scabbard on his waist, he has a dignified and honest face and an ordinary appearance, the evil servant beside Jiang Li in the legend should be this one.

But the two errand officers who followed behind him were not ordinary people, and Zhao Zhutou touched the scabbard with his hand, and he was very relieved. Until this time, Chu Feng and Xiao Xiang had not been looked at by him.

Seeing that Jiang Li ordered Sixi to block the retreat, Zhao Zhutou said coldly. "Qin Gongzi interceded for you, and I will give you some time. I didn't think that I wouldn't go to your trouble, but you took the initiative to come to the door. Don't think you're going to enter the palace in two days, and I won't dare to arrest you right now. ”

"Who's going to catch whom!" Jiang Li's slender eyes squinted and sneered.

Jiang Li said idly and moved, the figure in front of him was a flower, Zhao Zhutou's hand was still pressed on the scabbard, and a pair of withered hands were pressed on his well shoulder, and his body was numb.

The two messengers behind him drew out their knives, only to hear the coquettish drinking behind them, the two knives hit each other together, and when the sound passed, there were two muffled snorts, and the two messengers fell down with a pop, just falling beside Zhao Zhutou.

Jiang Li didn't even look at these changes in front of him. She unhurriedly picked up a slender needle with a silk handkerchief and slowly walked to Zhao Zhutou. "What do you think this is?"

Of course Zhao Zhutou knew, those brocade craftsmen were all shot by this kind of needle, he had examined the corpse with Qi Zuo, and had already taken out these needles and put them away, how could they end up in her hands?

"This is a plum pin. The poison above comes from the Seven Poisons Sect, and the middle one dies immediately. "Jiang Li also just heard what Chu Feng said.

Zhao Zhutou's mouth can still move: "It turns out that you still have a relationship with the Seven Poisons Sect!" ”

Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were cold: "I was wronged by Qin Yuanhua, you know it in your heart, but you still have to help him frame me." As he spoke, the tip of the needle was already aimed at Zhao Zhutou's throat.

These needles are poisonous! As long as you cut through a layer of skin, you will definitely die. "What do you want to do?" Zhao Zhutou was shocked.

"You fabricated evidence that I killed someone, and you also killed the cloud steward. Anyway, I already have a few lives in my hands, and I don't care about taking one more life with you. Jiang Li's expression was cold, and Zhao Zhutou believed that she could really do it, and couldn't help but sweat coldly.

Zhao Zhutou looked at the tip of the needle and approached inch by inch, and shouted hoarsely: "Since you know that it was Gongzi Qin who wronged you, why don't you go to him!" ”

"Because I can't afford to mess with him." Jiang Li smiled honestly.

When the tip of the needle finally touched Zhao Heng's throat, he could feel the cold coldness on the skin where the tip of the needle touched, and he finally begged for mercy: "You want me, what should you do, in order to spare me from dying." ”

"It's simple. Write down how Qin Yuanhua instructed you to give me a crime and how to force Manager Yun to write a confession, press your handprint, and I will let you go. ”

If he confessed to Qin Gongzi, he would be dead. Zhao Zhutou thought about it, and his face turned gray.

"I will leave the capital after taking your confession," Jiang Li pointed to the two errand soldiers who were still lying on the ground, "Your confession will not be poked out for the time being, and you will find a way to get out by yourself then." Think again, die now or write a confession? ”

Xiao Xiang on the side had already prepared pen and ink, and the tip of the needle in Jiang Li's hand was about to stab it.

Zhao Zhutou didn't think about it anymore and chose to write a confession.

After writing, Jiang Li put the thin piece of rice paper in his sleeve and walked out of the garden slowly.
