Walking around the counter, Song Ci said: "I heard that not long ago, the shopkeeper's shop was burglarized, I don't know, is this true?"

Song Ci didn't mention this matter, but after that, the shopkeeper was sad, sat on the stool and said: "Childe, it's difficult to do business now, it's hard to make money, not only the taxes are high, but also there are thieves patronizing, you, how can I live?"

"Why, listening to the shopkeeper, you have suffered heavy losses?"

"Isn't it, I stole more than 800 taels worth of jewelry overnight, or the cost price, if you count the sales, it will cost almost thousands of taels."

Song Ci felt that this price was a bit big, and the loss was too heavy, and few people could bear it.

"So the shopkeeper, I don't know if you reported the case? Ya] Have you investigated?"

"If I report it, how can I not report it, if I don't report this business, won't the thieves still come to patronize it? Are you?"

Song Ci nodded hurriedly, "Did the yamen catch the murderer again?" Did you get the stolen goods back?"

The shopkeeper's expression became declining again, and he suddenly seemed to be several years old.

"Childe, the thief was caught, but the stolen goods were not found, according to the thieves, he escaped from prison after being put in a cell, and died in an accident."

With a bang, Song Ci's mind seemed to be bombarded by countless thunderbolts, which made his body shake as if he was about to fall.

Is this clear that after the county magistrate caught the thief, he threw the pot on the body of the bright chicken thief?

This possibility is very high, and Song Ci is sure that this matter is definitely related to this magistrate.

Song Ci said: "Shopkeeper, you don't have any doubts about this matter?" For example, the magistrate embezzled stolen goods? Find a fake murderer, and after deliberately killing him, a stolen goods can't be recovered?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and his face changed, very scary, like a bitter gourd color. "Childe, you can't make this joke, if the magistrate knows about it, I'll be finished, and the crime of spreading rumors is not light in the Great Song Dynasty."

Song Ci smiled dryly: "I'm sorry to be in charge, I was confused just now." By the way, has you ever changed this gate?"

He shook his head one after another and said, "The thief is very skilled, he only broke the lock, and the gate is fine." ”

After chatting a lot, the three of them walked out, Song Ci looked at Wencheng Wenwu and them, "You two, immediately go and ask about the other two stolen shops, mainly the identity of the thieves and the final fate, do you know?"

"Yes, sir." They walked out.

Song Ci and the others walked to the direction of the residence again, and suddenly he stopped again, "Yue Xiaoxiang, let's go, let's rush to this thief's house immediately to have a look, I think, if he is really a murderer, after stealing a lot of money, he will definitely give some to the family, or even buy real estate."

The three of them also reacted. "What do you mean, sir?"

"Yes, Song has already found some clues, with these fragmentary memories, I think it shouldn't be a problem to bring down this magistrate."

They acted immediately, and after about half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination, and the funeral was underway, but not many people came, only the nearby villagers were helping.

It's been several times, and it's time for burial, and there has always been a custom of three burials in the countryside, all of them are croppers, how can it be broken?

Entering the house, Song Ci burned incense wax and worshipped, and then came to the side to look at the old woman.

Song Ci said: "Old man, is your son going to be buried?"

Her voice was hoarse, she raised her head to look at Song Ci, her eyes were already red and swollen, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, you can imagine how sad she was.

"It's already several, how can it be buried? According to ah, those who are not buried in the five will be reincarnated as mutes in the next life, how can I, you, my wife, bear my son like this?"

Song Ci nodded in understanding, and a villager brought tea, and Song Ci took it and thanked him.

"Old man, I see that your son is upright and in the prime of life, but your house is in tatters, why didn't he buy some furniture?"

"Furniture? Wake up, he's just a thief, where is the money for furniture? It's good to be able to eat well. ”

Song Ci understood again, after a thief apologized, he must take some valuable items home, and if he can't spend them, he may find a place to hide them.

But in this case, the deceased apparently did not do this, was he arrested while absconding in fear of crime? So, why haven't the stolen goods been found?

Song Ci's mind, one by one, has become clear, and he knows more.

"So the old man, did the people from the Yamen come to the house when they came to arrest Rao that day? Or are they out there capturing people?"

"This... Here they came, in addition to transporting the body back, they still took my son in the house, do you also feel wronged in this matter?"

Assuming that the deceased was really the murderer, then, why didn't he abscond? At the same time, it has been a long time since the earliest case, and the hundreds of taels of silver stolen, why didn't he buy real estate or furniture for his family? At the same time, he is already so rich, why do he steal even chickens and ducks?

Song Ci nodded and said, "Song Mou has this intention, old man, so after these servants came, did they search anything at home?"

She thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "No, no, they didn't look for anything, they didn't ask anything, they just arrested people, and a few days later they brought the body in, he escaped from prison and had an accident and was already dead."

Song Ci knows more, he already knows that this case is absolutely unjust, the mystery is being revealed little by little, and the situation is becoming clearer and clearer.

asked a lot more, and Song Ci also had the intention of leaving.

"Old man, tomorrow, you come to the door of the cliff, Song will avenge your son tomorrow."

"Thank you, thank you."

Leaving from the cluster, Song Ci and the others are ready to return the same way, it has been a long time, and I hope that Wen Cheng and the others have already got clues.

Qin Yue asked, "My lord, does this mean that you already have clues in this case?" Tomorrow, the case will be solved."

Song Ci said: "Don't leak the opportunity, let's go, Miss Yue, let's go back to the residence and wait for Wencheng Wenwu and them, tomorrow, we can go to the Yamen."

When they returned to the house, they had already returned, and they were sitting on the ground waiting.

"My lord, our brother has already inquired, this case is indeed suspicious, and the other two owners also got the news that the murderer escaped from prison and died, and the lost property cannot be recovered.

Song Ci said: "Song has long had this suspicion, you, this county magistrate has been a lot of money for a year, why is he still so bold?" Could it be that I really don't know how to write dead words?"

Everyone was silent, and Lu Sheng opened his mouth, "My lord, you still underestimate the pursuit of wealth by human beings, they will do anything for the sake of silver. ”
