Walking out of the criminal department, Liu Wuhuan hurriedly took out the medicine bottle and smeared the ointment on her hands, the pain and itching in her hands were relieved a little, and Wen Jing was completely involved in her poisoning in a few words, even if she pretended to apologize sincerely, she felt that she seemed to have underestimated this seemingly weak woman too much in the past.

Return to Dali Temple.

"Lord Liu, your gloves today are quite special." Ding Wu watched Liu Wuhuan come with his hands hanging in the air from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, he could expect that Lord Liu's mood would not be too good in the past few days.

Glove Liu Wuhuan's face turned dark, and he looked down at his red and swollen hands, which did not have any good skin, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, not knowing if there would be sequelae in the future.

Liu Wuhuan walked in, and Ding Wucai saw that there was nothing on her hands at all.

"Lord Liu, what's wrong with your hand?" Ding Wu was surprised, and he couldn't hold back the gossip for a while.

Liu Wuhuan glanced at Ding Wu.

When Ji Changge saw Ding Wu coming back, he asked, "Did you go to Xinghualou and ask clearly?" ”

Ding Wu patted his thigh and forgot about the matter: "Go back to my lord, I went to Xinghualou yesterday to investigate clearly, and there is not much difference from what Lord Wen said, Zhao Shenghua's table of dishes are, Dongpo meat, Babao wild duck, Xueyue mutton, butterfly prawns, stewed enoki mushrooms, cloud sliced noodle soup, golden silk pigeon eggs, Yipin Guan Yan"

Seeing that Ding Wu couldn't stop at all, Ji Changge raised his hand and said, "That's enough, that is, there is no discrepancy with what Lord Wen said yesterday, so the time of death can be determined." It was around nine o'clock in the evening that Ding Wu went to the Xinghualou area to ask if he could find witnesses. ”

"Yes, sir." Ding Wu went out in response.

Ji Changge glanced at Liu Wuhuan's hand lightly: "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

Seeing that although Ji Changge's face was not happy, since he asked, it meant that he still cared about her in his heart, and Liu Wuhuan, who was still angry, couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

"Go back to your lord, it's no longer in the way, I went to the Criminal Department early this morning to ask Lord Wen for some ointment. It's much better after applying. Master Wen said that he would be cured soon. Liu Wuhuan said.

"It's good over there."

After Ji Changge finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, looked down at the paperwork on the tablework, and stopped making a sound.

Liu Wuhuan felt uneasy in her heart, she couldn't figure out what Ji Changge was thinking in her heart. looked at Ji Changge and didn't react. I don't know if I believed her words. still thinks she is stirring up trouble out of nothing.

opened his mouth, Liu Wuhuan was just about to add a few more words of oil and vinegar, when Ji Changge suddenly stood up. Walk out the door.

"Where are you going, sir? I'll go with you. Liu Wuhuan asked.

"No need, little Liuzi, come with me." Ji Changge said to a guard next to him.

Xiao Liuzi met Liu Wuhuan's almost murderous gaze, hurriedly lowered his head in response, and followed Ji Changge out.

"Smack!"

It seemed that his hand had turned into braised pig's trotters, and Liu Wuhuan's palm slapped on the table, and the whole hand became more and more numb and itchy.

"Wen Qiniang, you wait for me."

Liu Wuhuan gritted his teeth and said, the jealousy in his heart grew like a weed in spring, in the past, Ji Changge would definitely take her with him as long as he went out to investigate the case, but now he would rather take the stupid and stupid little Liuzi than take her, obviously she has been injured and unlucky, but Ji Changge did not react, she just kicked the slut lightly yesterday, and Lord Ji was very nervous

turned over and dismounted, and the little six sons behind him skillfully caught the reins thrown over.

Ji Changge took a look at the old mansion in front of him, it looked no different from an ordinary house, it seemed that although Zhao Shenghua was a cool official, he didn't look like a corrupt official, or he didn't show his wealth.

An old woman was sweeping the floor in the courtyard, and there was a coffin in the house, and the whole room was covered with white silk, just because Zhao Shenghua's body was still there.

"Is Mrs. Zhao at home?" Ji Changge asked.

"The old body is, what is the matter with finding the old body?" The old woman raised her head and said murmurily.

Ji Changge was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that the white-haired old woman in front of him who swept the floor by herself was Zhao Shenghua's wife.

"You can go and get the body back for burial."

The old woman responded lightly, turned to the subordinate and said, "Uncle Hong, go and pull the old man back." ”

The old lady didn't seem to be sad about Zhao Shenghua's death at all, and seemed to be a little impatient, Ji Changge continued to ask: "Did Lord Zhao go home between the time of the sea and the time of the son?" ”

The old woman shook her head and said with a blank expression: "The old man fell asleep when he was in the army, I don't know if he has ever come back." ”

Hong Bo stepped forward and said, "The master has not come back since he went out the day before yesterday. ”

Looking at the house again, there was only an old man and a middle-aged woman drying clothes, the middle-aged woman should be Zhao Shenghua's daughter-in-law, it seems that Zhao Shenghua is dead, they are not too sad.

"Where did Ling Lang go? Does he know the news of his father's death? Ji Changge continued to ask.

Asked Zhao Shenghua's only son, Zhao Yanqiu, Old Madam Zhao's expression suddenly became a little nervous: "Qiu'er is far away." ”

Looking at Mrs. Zhao's nervous appearance, Ji Changge became a little suspicious, Zhao Shenghua's relationship with his family was very cold, and this Zhao Yanqiu was suspicious.

"There is a lot of disturbance, old lady, please mourn." Ji Changge bowed slightly and walked out, but the mystery in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, seeing that the economic situation of the Zhao family was not good, but judging from Ding Wu's investigation, Zhao Shenghua simply did not have the ability to go to Xinghualou to eat and drink often, it was time to go and meet Qiao San for a while.

Staring at Ji Changge's back, the old lady sighed softly.

"Mother-in-law, do you think it will be" The middle-aged woman walked up to Mrs. Zhao and said worriedly.

"Of course not, don't think about it, you're pregnant, be careful." Old Madam Zhao looked at her daughter-in-law's slightly convex abdomen.

Ji Changge walked out and asked where Qiao San's family was, but when he came to Qiao San's house, he found that Wen Jing was already inside.

"This is our case in Dali Temple, and it actually made Lord Wen take the lead." Ji Changge joked with a smile.

Wen Jing also smiled slightly: "Dali Temple Qing actually went out to investigate the case in person, Dali Temple has too many cases and not enough manpower?" In this case, it is better to hand over this case to our criminal department for trial. ”

"Naturally not, this official has always liked to do it himself." Ji Changge said with a smile.

The husband and wife next to them watched these two people come and go, not knowing what was going on.

"You're Qiao San?" Ji Changge looked at the chubby man in front of him, the man's face was a little haggard, his eye sockets were deep, and his face was dark yellow.

"Yes, the villain is Qiao San." Qiao San's eyes were slightly uneasy.

"Zhao Shenghua is dead, you had dinner with him in Xinghualou the night before yesterday, where did you go after eating?" Ji Changge looked at Qiao San and asked.

Qiao San glanced at Wen Jing beside Ji Changge, and said with an uneasy expression: "That night, the villain and Lao Zhao ate together in Xinghualou, and halfway through the meal, Lao Zhao saw this little lady and another son, so he walked to their table, the villain thought it was an acquaintance and came back, so he ate by himself, who knew that after a while, Lao Zhao and the boy quarreled, the villain drank too much at the time, and didn't pay attention to why he quarreled, so he stepped forward and wanted to pull Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao didn't listen to my advice, but wanted to beat the son, but he fell a few times, Later, several nursing homes in Xinghualou came, and the villain drank too much at that time, afraid that they would also arrest me, so he hid, and when the villain went out, Lao Zhao could no longer be found. ”

Wen Jing nodded, it turned out that the fat man Qiao San slipped away so fast that he was hiding.

"It's just you and Lao Zhao who eat? How many dishes did you order? Who was in for the treat? Ji Changge smashed a series of questions.

As soon as he said this, Qiao San's wife glared at him, Qiao San paused and said: "Originally, it was said that Lao Zhao was a treat, he seems to be quite rich recently, and recently he often invites the villain to Xinghualou to eat, and he orders a lot of dishes every time, and the villain persuades him to order less, he said that he can't spend it until he dies anyway, and he throws it away if he can't finish eating, that day, after he was taken away by the nursing home of Xinghualou, he can only go to the villain to settle the bill, and the villain happens to not bring silver, so he can only pay on credit, because he was scolded by my wife when he came back." ”

Qiao San's wife turned her face away and said unhappily: "Let you usually have less contact with him, now that someone has died, we have to be unlucky." ”

"Have you ever seen Lao Zhao since?"

Qiao San shook his head: "No, the villain was still looking for it on the street, but he didn't find it, and the next day he heard that someone had died on the street, so the villain was a little uneasy, so he went to Zhao's house to inquire, and saw that his house even set up a mourning hall, so he quietly left." ”

"What is the relationship between Lao Zhao and his son Zhao Yanqiu?" Ji Changge asked.

"It's not very good, Lao Zhao often said, he threw his silver down the river, and didn't give his son a copper, the villain often persuaded him, no matter what he said, it's his own blood and bones, why bother with his son, he said that his son is not filial, he should not have given birth to this son." Qiao San recalled.

The relationship between the two is really bad, and Zhao Yanqiu doesn't know where to go, this Zhao Yanqiu is quite suspicious, but thinking of the wounds on Zhao Shenghua's body, Ji Changge's heart trembled slightly, if it was really his son who killed Lao Tzu, this attack was too ruthless, so many knives, what kind of hatred did you have against the sky?

"Where did Zhao Shenghua get so much money? Has he always been generous? ”

Wen Jing then asked, logically speaking, after Zhao Shenghua was demoted, it was impossible for him to spend so much money that he couldn't spend it until he died.

"No, when he was still in the Criminal Department, he didn't often invite me to dinner, and at most he went to a small restaurant for a meal, Xinghualou didn't dare to think about it, a while ago Lao Zhao seemed to have suddenly made a fortune, and often invited the villain to dinner, and the villain didn't think much about it for a while, he called me, and I went." Qiao Sandao.

Wen Jing and Ji Changge glanced at each other, how did Zhao Shenghua suddenly make a windfall? (To be continued......)
