Chapter 55: The Yamen

After turning around, she came to a large mansion.

There is a huge "Li" character hanging on the mansion, the red door is open, and it is faintly visible that there is a miserable white inside, and the family who originally guarded the door has long since disappeared, and the stone lion at the door is also covered with white linen.

It seems that this family is doing a funeral, and it is not a happy funeral, I am afraid that something bad will cause even the people in the family to be scared away.

Ye Xin checked left and right, and sure enough, he saw a fast cat at the corner of the mansion.

"Cheng catches the head, and he is a friend of Master Li." She walked to the side of the catcher, gave a salute, and said with a sad face: "I suddenly heard that Master Li died, I don't believe it, he is in the prime of life, and he has always been healthy, how could he go so suddenly?"

Cheng Zhutou looked Ye Xin up and down, puzzled, "How come I have never seen you in Jinshui Town?" ”

"Zai Xia and Master Li have always been doing business in Yangzhou, but Jinshui Town doesn't come often."

"I see." Cheng Zhutou saw that she said well, and the sadness on her face was real, so he believed it for seven or eight points.

"Since you are a friend of Master Li, and you have this suspicion, I might as well tell you," Cheng Zhutou lowered his voice when he said this, "Master Li was killed by someone. ”

"What?" Ye Xin deliberately made a look of surprise and anger. "Who killed him?"

"Shhhhh It's just that the Li family is weird, I came two or three times, but I didn't find anything. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Xin and said, "Since you are a friend of Master Li, you don't want to come to his family to be too defensive against you, how about you go in and help me investigate?" ”

"It's incumbent! It's just that," Ye Xin was embarrassed, "I rushed to investigate, if it was discovered, wouldn't it be unjustifiable." ”

"It's easy to do."

Cheng Catcher took out a fast capture token and handed it to Ye Xin.

"You bring the token with you, if anyone suspects, you will show the token, in the realm of Jinshui, it is a robber and bandit, and no one dares not to buy the account of our yamen."

"Yes, yes, wait a minute."

Ye Xin's purpose was achieved, put away the token, and entered the Li family.

The Li family was really doing a funeral, Master Li's coffin stopped in the hall, the young housekeeper was busy, and Mrs. Li and the concubine were crying miserably.

Ye Xin moved out the rhetoric of the business friend again, and took the opportunity to take a look at the coffin.

Master Li in the coffin seemed to be asleep, and his face was a little ruddy.

Ye Xin had done this task in his previous life, and when he saw that the clues of the process had not changed, he suddenly understood.

She remained silent, left the Li family, found Cheng Zhutou, and made her discoveries one by one.

"Cheng Zhutou, as you expected, Master Li did die."

"To tell you the truth, some friends in the rivers and lakes in Xiaxia once mentioned a poison called long sleep, which can make people die silently, as if they were asleep. I took a closer look at Master Li, he must have been poisoned. ”

Cheng Zhutou was surprised, "Then do you know who the murderer is!" ”

Ye Xin actually knew who the murderer was, but she needed to use the arrest order, so she could only pretend not to know and said:

"If you want to find the murderer, you have to start with the source of the poison, and I need to find it in the town."

"Okay, I'll look at the Li family, you go and go back quickly."

"Yes."

Ye Xin was in the town to find out the news of the Li family and Liu Yunhai, because she had a quick arrest warrant, and the townspeople didn't dare to lie.

She heard a lot about the Li family, but to her surprise, no one in the town had heard of Liu Yunhai's name, let alone his news.

After working for most of the day but as he got it, Ye Xin had no choice but to go back to Li's house, find Cheng Zhutou, and tell him the news.

"Cheng Zhutou, the people in the town said that they had seen Steward Li drink with a few people from the rivers and lakes, and Master Li's poison was afraid that Steward Li could get it."

Cheng Zhutou immediately rushed into Li's house with someone, and after some questioning, Steward Li trembled and didn't admit himself.

It turned out that Steward Li was a distant relative of Master Li, and after defecting to Master Li, he became the housekeeper of the Li family, but he was always dissatisfied with Master Li treating him as a subordinate.

The truth came out, the truth was cruel, the Li family cried again, and Cheng took Steward Li into custody, saying that he would invite Ye Xin to drink anything.

Ye Xin couldn't refuse, so he came to the only restaurant in the town with him.

Xiao Er, who ran the hall, greeted him attentively, "Cheng catches the head, guest officer, please please inside." ”

"I want a private room." Cheng Zhutou solved the case and was in a good mood.

"Okay, upstairs, please."

Xiao Er led the way in front of him, and at the same time talked and greeted him neatly.

"Cheng Zhutou, you are really discerning, otherwise the master of the Li family will die in vain." Xiao Er finished praising his head and turned to Ye Xin, "Guest officer, you are noble, especially the ring on your hand, which looks very rare, I saw it once on a passing merchant many years ago." ”

Ring? Xiao Er said that it was the starry night given by the village chief.

Ye Xin only paid attention to its attributes before, and had not carefully looked at its appearance, but after a closer look, he found that this ring was indeed exquisitely made, and the top was not inlaid with ordinary gemstones, but rare obsidian.

Xiao Er said that he had seen it many years ago, could it be that the merchant was Liu Yunhai?

Ye Xin was about to ask, Cheng Zhutou patted his head, "Let you say this, I think of one thing, the merchant was later killed by robbers, and the ring was also snatched away by the three masters of Feiyu Village." ”

Liu Yunhai is dead?

Ye Xin couldn't help but think of the old village chief of Daoxiang Village, if he told him the news, wouldn't it be a white-haired person sending a black-haired person?

Why don't you get the ring back first, think about it in the long run.

So during a meal, Ye Xin asked Cheng Zhutou about a lot of things about Feiyu Village, and Cheng Zhutou seemed to be aware, because Ye Xin had helped him before, he felt that he owed her a favor, so he told her carefully:

"Brother Jun, I advise you to be patient for two days, and don't go to Feiyuzhai for the time being."

"We have a total of three thieves and six villages around Jinshui, and we have suppressed bandits for many years, and everyone has not been pleased, so the county commander came up with a bad idea, and gathered a group of people to build Feiyu Village."

"Let me tell you quietly, because of the collusion of officials and bandits, Feiyuzhai quickly became a tyrant in Jinshui. Now, although they don't dare to get along with our yamen, they have actually gradually gotten out of control, and the new county magistrate intends to clean them up. ”

"If you endure two days, it will not be too late for our men to come and seek them."

Ye Xin thought about it, it was not impossible for her to break into the Flying Fish Village to grab the ring, but it was always much easier to help.

"Cheng Catcher, I'll help you when the time comes!" She drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp—

It's time for breakfast and lunch, open your mouth and eat lasagna!
