Zhu Laosan said: "My lord, it's our local Lizheng, he came to tell him in person, otherwise the little one wouldn't know about it."

Song Qing knew, and now if he wants to know the truth thoroughly, the only way to find this case is to find it! The murderer, Hu San is dead, I don't know if his wife knows something, and there seems to be something wrong with this case.

"Okay Zhu Laosan, Song knows about this case, now I tell you, if you are fine, try not to leave the house, once there is any progress in the matter, Song will notify you to come to the yamen."

"It's the adult, the little one knows."

Song Qing and the others walked out, and soon planned to return the same way.

Walking out of the house, Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, this is a problem, it is almost impossible to walk twenty miles in an hour, and besides, it is a muddy road and a woman's family, and there are many famous names in this case."

Song Qingen sighed, he also felt that this was the case, now that there were more clues left, it was not difficult to find the truth.

Moreover, there are definitely people lying in this matter, but who it is, then it is not clear.

They walked along the road, and there happened to be a post station on the way, and there was a noodle shop next to it, and whenever there was a passer-by who was thirsty and hungry, they would stop to rest and have some food and tea.

Song Qing and the others walked a. In the morning, I was also a little hungry at the moment, so I also ordered a few bowls of noodles.

Xiao Er said: "My lord, this is going to the city, you see how to walk from such a long distance: otherwise, how about you rent a carriage from the shop directly, my lord?" Don't worry, I'll charge you a tael of silver for a small trip, and how about a special person to catch the car?"

Song Qing smiled: "One or two silver for a trip? I said Xiao Er, do you really think Song is some kind of corrupt official? Song can't afford to sit down for one or two pieces of silver, the key is that you are too expensive. ”

Xiao Er smiled: "The adult is wrong, first of all, the small one did not corrupt you on the spot, and secondly, how can the adult's monthly salary have to have a hundred taels, isn't it easy to take a carriage casually?"

"Besides, our carriage is very fast, and within an hour, it can definitely send you to the county seat."

An hour, the county seat? A shock sounded in Song Qing's mind, for an hour, does this mean that the deceased was in this carriage at that time?

Yes, it must be so, otherwise as an ordinary person, walking would not be able to do it anyway.

Song Qing's head seemed to be enlightened, and he knew that if he investigated this case, there would definitely be results.

At this moment, he said quietly: "Xiao Er, Song really wants to take the car, but Song is also worried about whether your groom has this technique, in case something goes wrong halfway, won't Song even lose his life?"

The shopkeeper played the package ticket, "Don't worry, my lord, we are grooms, but after ten years of driving, there is no need to doubt the technology, besides, you are our adult, he just has the courage to do it, so he doesn't dare to mess around, right?"

Song Qing thought to himself, since this is the case, then he has to take this carriage to see who this coachman is.

"Xiao Er, since this is the case, then you inform the groom to prepare, Song will go on the road after eating, but, are I these people pretending?"

The shopkeeper said: "No problem, my lord, we are three horse-drawn carriages, not to mention a few of you, even a few more adults."

Song Qing relieved his heart, and finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

The shopkeeper left and beckoned the carriage and groom to go, Tang Yueyue didn't understand, "My lord, why are you generous today?" You know, it's a tael of silver. ”

Song Qing knew that the other party would not understand, so he also opened his mouth at this moment, "I said Miss Yueyue, it seems that you still don't understand Song, do you know my intentions?" Think for yourself, an hour, a carriage?"

When Tang Yueyue heard this, she really had something in her mind, "My lord, what do you mean..... It is possible that this deceased was in a carriage...."

Song Qingen said with a sigh: "This is the only way for the family of the deceased to go to the county seat, and there is no other way."

The deputy general didn't understand at the moment, "My lord, what are you talking about with Miss Yueyue?" What is the name of a carriage groom, why don't I know?"

Song Qing and the others smiled and said: "Okay, deputy general, you don't need to understand so much, at this moment, you just need to take someone to protect me and Miss Yueyue."

The meal was eaten relatively quickly, and soon Song Qing gave the money for the meal, and then everyone came outside, the carriage was ready, and there was a middle-aged man standing nearby, in his early forties. He looked at a few people: "My lord, you are going to the county seat, come and come, come and get in the car, and get in this technology, and definitely send the adults to their destination safely within an hour."

Song Qingdao: "You're really right, Song does have something to go to the county seat, since that's the case, let's go, Miss Yueyue, you go to the car, Song wants to talk to the strong man pulling the carriage."

Tang Yueyue and the others comprehended that they knew that Song Qingnai had something to ask, and more than ten people also sat down and went up.

Song Qing sat in front next to the groom, and then finally drove out ahead, and when he pressed against the muddy path, there was a sound from time to time.

The horseman said: "My lord, you are the best official you have ever seen, if you are someone else, you will not be allowed to carry it with a petty son, how can it be like you are still walking."

Song Qing smiled awkwardly and said: "Maybe other adults are old, Song is younger than them, and he can move his body when he walks, which is not bad."

The carriage continued to go straight ahead, and soon got on a small road, maybe Song Qing didn't know, if he continued to walk forward, he didn't know if he would meet the pond.

"Zhuangtu, I wonder how long you've been pulling the cart? How's your income going in January?" The groom sighed and said: "My lord, you don't know, this cart is an idle errand, ordinary people are reluctant to spend this money at all, a tael of silver is not much, and I don't pay it back after sending people back, right?"

Song Qingen sighed and continued to focus on the groom.

Inside the car, Tang Yueyue said: "Deputy General Chao, do you know that the adults already suspect this groom, and this case may be done by him."

"What did he do?" The deputy general was confused, "Miss Yueyue, are you mistaken, how honest this groom looks, how could he kill someone?" Besides, there is no reason for it. Tang Yueyue said: "Do you still need a reason to kill?" Sometimes it's just a hot head, and then you can't care about anything, I said Deputy General, you haven't killed anyone when you followed that Zhang Kailiang before?"

He hurriedly denied it, "I have done smashing, looting and burning, but I really haven't done this murder, but Miss Yueyue, I think what you just said still has some truth, maybe, this groom is indeed suspicious." ”

Ahead, Song Qing seized the opportunity to speak, "Strong man, Song wants to ask you a word, how is the security in this hornet county?" Has there been any burning, killing, and looting in recent years?

The groom hurriedly denied it and smiled, "My lord, don't you know that I am a county town, and the security is very, very good, not to mention burning, killing and looting, even stealing chickens and touching dogs is extremely rare." ”

"Let's put it this way, my lord, since the little one came to this county, on our side, the murders I know can be counted almost on my fingers.

"My lord, this is a county with a population of more than 400,000, under normal circumstances, how can this kind of thing happen?"

Song Qingen sighed, he doesn't plan to ask about this case at present, in case it is discovered, I'm afraid things will not be easy.

Song Qing kept looking at the scene outside, there was a small road next to it, he thought that the carriage would take the small road, but instead he took the official road next to it, so the distance would increase.

"The path of the strong man is relatively close, I wonder why you are walking this way? Isn't the official road far away?"

The groom explained: "Adults don't know, that road is more difficult to walk, if you walk for a long time, this carriage can't stand it."

Song Qing knew that the path leading to the pond where the crime occurred, what this groom said in his mouth, I don't know if it was true.

At this moment, he had an idea, "Otherwise, Song likes to see the scenery more, or how about you change your route to take the trail?" How about Song adding silver to you?"

The groom refused without thinking about it, "My lord, it's not that the little ones don't want to take the trail, but this road is not easy to walk at all, and they may even fall, you must know that horses are not people, they won't choose the way to walk." ”

"At the same time, my lord, it's not that I don't want to obey orders, pedestrians can walk on this road, but it's not okay to change to a horse, although our carriage is not valuable, but my lord, the small one can't ignore your safety."

Song Qing was silent, he had already felt something, and he didn't want to speak at the moment, and he was more suspicious of the groom.

The car ran forward for a while, and then finally came to the county gate, and everyone got out of the carriage, and then left after giving the car.

Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, did you ask for any clues just now?" Is this coachman suspicious?"

Song Qingdao: "It's not just a matter of suspicion, Song dares to pack a ticket, he has absolute suspicion, but we don't have evidence at the moment, Miss Yueyue, let's go, let's go to the murderer's house and find this woman to inquire about the situation."

Tang Yueyue sighed, most of the day had passed, they walked on the street for a while, and then went out of the city, according to the address given by Qin Shui, the county magistrate, they soon came to the destination.

At the door of Hu San's house, there is little difference between the deceased's family, they are all poor families, and the conditions are not very good, with the arrival of Song Qing and others, the women have already noticed.

She came from the shabby, shabby house, and opened her mouth on her knees.

"The folk girl has seen the adult, but I don't know why the adult came?"

Tang Yueyue helped her up and opened her mouth at this moment, "Eldest sister, we adults came to you today to ask you something important, are you free now?"
