However, it was said that Li Wen and Wang Chengzuo returned to the county office, and Li Wen personally sifted a bowl of water for him, and asked diligently: "What can you see?" ”

Wang Qizuo raised his eyebrows and glanced at him and said, "I don't know if Master Li has the heart to make decisions for the deceased." ”

Li Wen patted his chest and said that he was upright: "As a parent official, he should naturally be the master of the people." ”

Wang Cheng said: "Old Man Pan is suffocating. Judging from the strangulation marks on his hands and feet, although he had been tied, he still struggled hard before he died, which shows that the manpower of the hands is very small, if he is either old and weak, he is a woman. ”

Li Wen opened his mouth wide in shock, and only said for a long time: "That sixth aunt said--The thieves are two big men. ”

Wang Cheng said: "The sixth aunt has fingerprints on her neck, which was strangled to death by a man and hung on the beam. ”

Li Wen faintly didn't want the case to become more complicated, and hurriedly said: "I have seen it too." Just now, the few people in the Pan family were full of nonsense about the sixth aunt Zhenlie and wanted to be martyred, which was obviously nonsense. I see that she is favored on weekdays, and this old man Pan is dead, and Mrs. Pan makes people strangle her to take revenge on her grievances. ”

Wang Cheng didn't answer, and said: "According to common sense, it is very likely that the sixth aunt suffocated Master Pan to death." ”

Li Wen was taken aback again, and only said after a while: "Therefore, what the sixth aunt said can't be counted?" If you don't keep it, it's a lie. ”

At this time, Gong Kun heard that he was coming, and immediately called Jia Cong out of the house, and the two of them came to find Li Wen together. Li Wen was overjoyed to see them, and hurriedly went to the door to greet them, and introduced them to each other.

How many otaku in later generations are not curious and dispassionate about the profession of forensics? Therefore, when Jia Cong heard Li Wen say that this was a puppet, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Wang Zuo and made a gesture: "Mr. Wang has worked hard." ”

Wang Cheng was stunned, then stood up and waved his hand again and again: "How dare you." ”

Jia Cong blinked his starry eyes and asked, "Mr. Wang, how is the case?" ”

Wang Chengzuo looked at Li Wen, and Li Wen said what the two of them had just said. Jia Cong and Gong Kun were secretly surprised when they heard that the sixth aunt was dead.

Where can the imagination of others compare to a plug-in like Jia Cong? He then frowned, picked up his fat arm and pretended to turn around the room a few times, and said, "I saw yesterday that although the three sons of the Pan family made a crying appearance, they did not look sad. Who's dead Lao Tzu is like that! Therefore, I guess there is some truth in what Master Li said. Mrs. Pan has fallen out of favor for many years, and her three sons have taken care of their mother, and their love for Mr. Pan has faded. In addition, since the sixth aunt is favored, why should she suffocate Old Man Pan for nothing? Could it be like this. One of the two thieves was the internal response of the Pan family, and even if he covered his face, he was recognized by the old man Pan and the sixth aunt. He himself high-fived again, "Yes, if they broke into Pan's house at night to kill Old Man Pan, why should they cover their faces?" Dead people can't report them to the government. The thief didn't intend to kill anyone, just to ask for something. Let the old man Pan recognize it, and after they left, he muttered it himself, but it happened that the sixth aunt heard it. This person is either private or related to the sixth aunt, and the sixth aunt suffocated the old man Pan in order to protect her lover or relatives, and tried to tie herself up and pretend to be faint. It's a pity that her lover and relatives are ruthlessly tight, I'm afraid that the sixth aunt will leak the secret and strangle her to death. ”

Li Wen also high-fived: "The person who has a personal relationship with the sixth aunt is probably one of the three masters of the Pan family." Looking at the situation today, the master of the Pan family wants the sixth aunt to die. Nai sighed, "I'm afraid that the goatee and beard are all nonsense from her." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "She has to protect the thief, and if she can't keep it, she will talk nonsense." ”

Gong Kun hurriedly added oil and vinegar and said: "One is to extinguish the mouth, the second is to cover up the father and concubine, and the third is to vent for Mrs. Pan." ”

Jia Cong thought for a while: "What do they want to ask Old Man Pan?" ”

If it was an ordinary case, the county magistrate probably guessed that it was for the 1,400 taels of silver. At this time, Li Wen locked all the money into the county treasury, and took some sundries to cover it, only waiting for three months later, pretending that it was sent by Gao Li to give the villagers a good share. Therefore he straightened out the money. It can only be for the letter next to it. He originally believed that the Pan family's case was for the dispute between the Hou Mansion and the palace, but at this time, he became more and more suspicious that Old Man Pan knew some secret things.

Jia Cong said: "I don't know if there was one thief or two or more who came that night." It's a pity that the sixth aunt died. ”

Gong Kun immediately played: "When it's two." She said that the mask, goatee and beard, those three masters are all short-haired. She is so young that she can't figure out anything if she thinks about it, and I'm afraid that it will be too outrageous and exposed. ”

Li Wen also said: "I asked her twice, and I saw that her words were quite appropriate, and even if she lied, it didn't seem to be a big lie." I'm afraid it's two. ”

Jia Cong took the opportunity to say: "Then the other of these two is another master of their family, or is it someone else from outside?" ”

Everyone thought about it for a long time and couldn't guess. Gong Kun said: "In addition, the less than 100 taels of silver are unknown. ”

Jia Cong said: "If the silver is gone, I'm afraid it will be taken away by outsiders." If it's in the house of the master......"

Li Wenli stood up and said, "I'll send someone to search the Pan family!" "If the Pan family is inside, they can grasp their shortcomings and do things in the future; If someone comes from outside, the official will stay away.

When he went outside to call the officials, he saw the head of the county's Sun Ban leading a few people in a hurry and shouting, "My lord! The silver is there! ”

Li Wen's legs shook, thinking that the silver was in the county treasury! Hurriedly asked, "What silver?" ”

Sun Bantou carried a small burden in his hand and said: "I am leading people to search near Pan's house today to find any suspicious people, and in the empty house of Lao Zhao, who used to sell cooking cakes, I saw that someone seemed to have been touched on the kang, so I went over to check, and saw that there was a pile of silver hidden under the broken mat that their family did not take away, and I took it to weigh it, which was exactly one hundred and twenty-four taels. ”

Li Wen gasped. Angu County is poor, and more than 100 taels of silver is really a lot, and it was thrown away in an empty house! If those two thieves belonged to the Pan family, and they were hidden in the cabinet and box in their house, why should they be put outside? Don't ask, the other one is someone from outside.

Sun Bantou had a very loud voice, and this time he had already alarmed Wang Cheng and Gong Kun, and they all ran outside, so they all heard Sun Bantou's words. The three of them looked at each other a few times, and they all knew what was going on in their eyes.

Li Wen was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Since you have found the silver, you don't have to go to Pan's house." Rather frustrated, he returned to the interior and sighed, "I'm afraid of the depths of the water." ”

Wang Qizuo asked, "Why do you sigh like this?" ”

Li Wen shook his head and said, "It's not checking, it's not checking." ”

Gong Kun pondered for a moment and said, "The sixth aunt killed the old man Pan, I don't know which master of the Pan family avenged his father, but it was also said in the past. ”

Wang Qizuo glanced at him and said solemnly to Li Wen: "Could it be that Lord Li also wants to calm things down?" ”

Li Wen was gloomy: "I'm just an ordinary county magistrate." Mr. Wang, you also know that since the nephew and daughter of Old Man Pan married into Beijing, I have not been angry with the Pan family. If this matter is investigated deeply, whether it is the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion or Xie Guiren, where can I provoke. ”

Wang Chengzuo's eyes flashed.

Gong Kun persuaded: "The Dingcheng Marquis Mansion is still over, and Xie Guiren heard that he has recently been favored." ”

Li Wen became more and more daring, and looked at Wang Yanzuo hesitantly and said, "If there is really any secret in it, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to bear it." ”

Wang Chengzuo raised his eyebrows, sneered, turned his head and went into the house to pack up his tools. Jia Cong hurriedly followed, watching with hesitation. Wang Qizuo raised his eyes and looked at him, but said nothing. Jia Cong said: "Eight times out of ten things are unsatisfactory in the world. Nine, I hope that Mr. Don't care, it's not easy for Master Li. ”

Wang Qizuo said indifferently: "According to Young Master Gao's guess, what is it about?" ”

Jia Cong's words were originally made up to cover up for Wu You, guess the yarn! said casually: "Where do I know, I don't know if I have anything to do with the Ming Wanli blue and white dinosaurs." ”

Wang Cheng was stunned: "What? ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's irrelevant." Mr. Wang, is this going back? ”

Wang Qizuo glanced at him and said, "Since Lord Li doesn't dare to investigate deeply, it will be inconvenient for me to stay here." It's better to go earlier. ”

Jia Cong said, "You haven't had lunch yet." ”

Wang Cheng said: "Go outside and be a big one." ”

Jia Cong saw that he really wanted to leave, so he had to make another gesture to him. Wang Yanzuo took the burden and left, and Li Wen sent him out of the county government gate with a sneer.

After everyone finished lunch, Li Wen ordered people to go to Pan's house and let them come to see the silver. After a while, Pan Sanye hurried over with the tent to take a look, and said repeatedly: "It's these silver!" I even remember what it looked like. Where did you find them? Can you take the thief? ”

Li Wen hurriedly pointed to Sun Bantou and said, "He found it." Sun Bantou said what had happened, and then led Pan Sanye to the empty house. Pan Sanye didn't say a word, and he was sure that the thief didn't come for money, and he didn't care about going to the county government to explain to Li Wen, so he hurried home and told his brother and mother, and the three of them looked at each other again, and guessed and thought about it.

In the afternoon, Jia Cong went to the inn and quietly told Wu You about it, and Wu You was shocked: "The sixth aunt is dead?" ”

Jia Cong nodded: "I guess, about her being favored makes Mrs. Pan resentful, and Old Man Pan will take revenge on her as soon as she dies, just like Liu Bang killed Mrs. Qi as soon as Lu died." ”

Wu You gritted his teeth: "I spent half a day's effort, just not to hurt the innocent!" ”

Jia Cong said: "You think she is a person, but she is not in the eyes of others." ”

Wu Younai closed his eyes and clenched his fists, and for a long time, he suddenly stared at him like a copper bell: "I'm going to kill that old pious woman!" ”

Jia Cong hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be impulsive!" This will not be able to touch the people of their family, otherwise it will have to be messed up. ”

Wu You roared: "That person was dragged to death by me!" ”

Jia Congqi said: "What are you thinking! It's not that I haven't killed anyone. Don't be a virgin, I sue you, or you won't be able to act in the future. ”

Wu You glared at him and said, "It's different!" What I want to kill is not the same thing as dragging me to death! ”

Jia Cong glanced at him for a long time, waved his hand and said, "That's it, you just complain that you are not strict in your actions and have made many mistakes, so that the outcome of things is completely different from what you wanted in the first place." Don't be so entangled, let it go. Not everything in the world can be designed like a person. Besides, the words of the pretend are also in line with the situation of the day, she killed Old Man Pan, and it can be regarded as a report and a report. ”

Wu You was depressed: "If I want to be more thoughtful, she won't have to kill the old man." I forced it, too. Nai shook his head again and again. Later, I thought of six or seven very appropriate methods, but I didn't think of them at the time. ”

Jia Cong patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, don't drill the horns, God can't make his own arrangements." ”

That night, two letters were quietly sent to Beijing in the night.

One of them was written by the second master of the Pan family, saying that his father knew about the secret of the palace, so that someone who didn't know who killed him, and the perpetrators were two big men with extremely high kung fu, one was a fat man with a beard and a muffled voice, and the other was a goatee with an ordinary voice and an ordinary figure.

The second is written by Wang Cheng. Old Man Pan knew the secrets of the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion or Xie Guiren, and asked one of his sons and outsiders to join forces to ask, and he thought that he had already asked. Angu County Ling Li Wen seemed to know a little bit of the wind and did not dare to delve into it, and the Ping'an Prefecture Festival made his nephew Young Master Gao know more, which was about related to a blue and white porcelain antique during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the antique was called "Dinosaur".

Rumors are like the wind, starting at the end of Qingping and making waves. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
