Song Cidao; "Hou Zhixian, you were indeed right just now, but Song still has a doubt, that is, did this person drink the poison handed by others and died? How do you think he must have died of poison himself?"

Hou Tianhua laughed, "This official has long known that Song Tixing will have such a question, but it doesn't matter, this official is willing to tell you as soon as he asks, first, this person is sick, and many people know this, Song Tixing should not believe it!"

Song Ci said: "Hou Zhixian has something to say, continue, Song has been listening, and at the same time I can also distinguish black and white, what is going on, Song is clear."

There were more and more people in the scene, and some officials drew their knives and shouted angrily, "Acquaintances should hurry up and go farther, otherwise they will hurt you by mistake later, and you are not allowed to make trouble." ”

The crowd was dispersed, and Hou Tianhua said: "Song Tixing, since this is the case, the official told you that this person died in the house, but the official found some medicinal materials and prescriptions from his table, which shows that this person did die by misusing drugs."

Song Ci said: "Then why are you not sure, but he was changed to medicine, and then died after drinking it?" Houzhi County, this possibility is not impossible!"

Everyone talked about it, what happened just now was so sudden, they didn't notice anything, and when they noticed, they were all dead.

Hou Tianhua said: "You don't deny the possibility, but the possibility is too small, who is willing to kill someone for no reason?"

"It is naturally impossible for no reason, but there is another possibility, Song Mou wants to analyze and analyze here today, wait for the county, if you offend, I hope to forgive me."

Song Cidao; "After a month, the father and son were killed, we won't say who the murderer is, otherwise, Houzhi County, how about we directly talk about the motive?"

"As far as Song knows, this father and son have always had no enmity with others, but there is a conflict with you in Houzhi County, that is, you want to get this piece of land and then change it to a mansion, right?"

Hou Tianhua said angrily: "Song Tixing's joke is too big, this month's salary is just a few dozen taels of silver, only a few hundred taels a year, Song Tixing said this, isn't it tormenting me?"

"Also, this official has been living in the yamen, what is the use of so many residences? Song Tixing, what do you say?"

Song Ci chuckled, "Since Houzhi County thinks that he is very honest, it is better to be like this,

How about you give this corpse to Song, how about Song looking at it? Anyway, Song is a criminal officer, so he can take this opportunity to look at the corpse to investigate the truth of the deceased's death.

Hou Tianhua directly refused, "Song Ti Xing, there was a murder case within the jurisdiction of this official, this official has the right to deal with this matter, besides, this person is already helpless, this official doesn't care, who will bury him?"

Song Ci will not stop him, as long as he returns to the county office, he will also have a chance, and he is not in a hurry now.

"Come on, carry this corpse to the yamen, remember to be careful along the way, don't break him."

With that, a few people left, and Qin Xiaoyue came over, "My lord, do you really plan to leave this matter at that?" Hou Tianhua took the body, and if he took it and disposed of it, then we would have no evidence.

Song Ci said: "Don't worry, Wen Cheng Xiaoyue, let's go back and interrogate those officials immediately, as long as we find a breakthrough from them, this Hou Tianhua will be the same today."

Everyone soon came to the yamen, and the corpse was brought into the lobby and placed in the middle, looking at Song Ci, Hou Tianhua gave him a contemptuous look.

"The surname is Song, you are still too young, even if you are good, so what? In front of this official, you still look like a three-year-old child, what are you going to fight with this official?"

Shushi said: "My lord, this Song Ci, Zhao Ping'an County, seems to have run away in vain, not only that, but he also has to ruin his reputation here, hehe, he is still too young, and he is always arrogant, but as everyone knows, the adult has already calculated his little ninety-nine."

"Well, Shushi, quickly prepare a table of good wine and good food, and the official will be able to build a house soon, hehe, pull the body down to the river early tomorrow morning and bury it on the spot, do you know?"

"Okay sir, but why don't we just throw it to the river?"

"Throw a fart, in case Diao Min sees it, as soon as he reports to the official, we have to run for nothing, do you think it's necessary?"

“.. People really deserve to be adults, why don't they see the small ones?" If you can see it, I can do it for you, Shushi, what are you still stupid doing?"

"If you know the adult, the little one will do it immediately."

Song Ci and the others returned to the house and immediately interrogated several officials, Qin Xiaoyue said: "Name, address, and then say why you want to hurt people."

One person said: "My name is Zhao Si, and I live in a village called Dashan in the north of the county. It's really a messenger!"

The other two gave their names and addresses one after another, and at the moment they regretted very much, and they regretted trying to kill the two old men.

"My lord, it's wronged, the three of us are all following orders, if Shushi doesn't let go, we don't dare to do this,"

"Listen to orders? Whose orders are you listening to? Is it Hou Tianhua? Why did he let you do that?"

"This... The little one doesn't understand, adult, we are just an errand runner, and we don't dare to ask more, if you are dedicated to the people, then take down this Hou Tianhua, he is the master of the country and the people.

At this point, they don't need to remind Song Ci to know that Hou Tianhua will die, even if it violates the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, he must be beheaded in advance.

Giving Qin Xiaoyue a look, the latter immediately understood, "The three of you, tell you, this is our prison officer, you had better honestly explain Hou Tianhua's murder and all kinds of violations of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and then our Lord Song may be able to make up for your mistakes." ”

"Ahh Well, let's say, let's say, can't we..."

Song Ci said: "Xiaoyue, you come to ask him these questions, Song wants to go out for a walk, and he will wait for Tianhua for a while."

"Yes, sir." Qin Xiaoyue nodded, Song Ci walked out of the house and walked in the courtyard of the yamen, just as Hou Tianhua also appeared here, and the two met in the courtyard.

"Hou Zhixian, it's really a coincidence, I don't know if you can send the dead out for burial?" Hou Tianhua said: "There is no need to trouble Song Ti to worry about punishment, this official has his own arrangements tomorrow, and all this is already under the control of this official."

Song Ci said: "It's not a secret, all this is also under Song's control, if everything is tomorrow, maybe it's almost over, and all this should be over."

Hou Tianhua said to his subordinates: "Come on, bring me two pots of wine, today I will entertain Song Tixing, and tomorrow will pass, maybe there will be no more chance."

Soon a servant came, took the wine, and placed it on the stone table beside him.

Song Ci didn't refuse, looking at the wine in the cup in a daze, being an official is like this wine, it tastes great, but he didn't know that he was drunk that day.
