Continue to look around, the fabrics in the store are not for the poor, but for the rich and noble, and the poor can only buy the worst for a year's income.

got the clues he wanted, and Song Ci had the bottom in his heart at the moment, so the conversation finally returned to the topic.

"Shopkeeper, refuse to know Song, a month ago, there was a murder in your store, and your father was killed in the store, I don't know, right?"

The shopkeeper burst into tears all of a sudden, crying like a tearful man.

"Guest officer, about this matter, I hope you don't mention it again, it's been a long time, I don't want to mention this matter in the next place, it's all over, there's nothing to say.

Song Ci was silent, so he changed another method, "Refusing Song's knowledge, it only took a few days for Hou Tianhua, the county magistrate, to arrest the murderer, and soon after, he was beheaded for public display, is this right?"

The shopkeeper couldn't hide it when he learned it, so he simply admitted it at this moment.

"Guest officer, I admit that what you said is true, but it has been so long, can you not mention this matter again? I've forgotten that it's not good to rub salt on the wound!"

Qin Xiaoyue took a few steps forward, "Shopkeeper, we didn't mean to mention this case, but we had no choice, if you know any clues, you might as well tell us as soon as you go, and when the time comes, we may be able to give you the truth." ”

"The truth? Everyone is dead, what more truth do you want?" He sat down on the stool and said: "The matter has passed, and I don't need the truth, a few guest officers, if you are just for this matter, then you can go, sorry, there is no comment on this matter."

Song Ci said: "Then you haven't thought about why your father was killed?" Did he really anger the murderer? Not necessarily, don't say that people now have such a heavy murderous aura, even if they do, as for the sake of this matter, they will make a big move?"

The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and then raised his head, "Guest officer, what do you want to say?"

Song Ci whispered, "Refuse Song's knowledge, Houzhi County of Ping'an County is very envious of your land, and once talked to your father, but he didn't talk about it, right?"

The shopkeeper said helplessly: "What is it? Isn't it? Anyway, people are already dead, what's the use of talking about it now?"

Song Ci's voice raised, and he said angrily: "It's useful, why isn't it useful?" If your father doesn't die, how will he get this land? Are you right?"

The shopkeeper suddenly woke up, stunned, as if he had been petrified, "Guest officer, what do you mean..."

Song Ci said: "Yes, but Song has no absolute evidence for this matter, but as long as this Hou Tianhua leaves a little clue, Song will not let him go easily, and killing people to pay for his life, whether it was before or now, it is equally useful."

The shopkeeper, who had already felt something, suddenly thought of something, so he said, "Even if it is Hou Tianhua's doing, what can it do?" He is the magistrate of the county, and he is a seven-grade official, what should I do to fight him? The people will never be able to fight the officials. ”

"Hehe, I'm a flat-headed commoner, it's good not to be bullied by officials, as for what to get justice, in my opinion, it's better to disperse, guest officer, you should also go, the water in the Great Song Dynasty is too deep, I can't wait for it to penetrate, I won't talk about it when I'm wet, and it's easy to drown."

Song Ci said: "Don't you have an acquaintance who is an official in the imperial court?" Could it be that he doesn't care? Don't talk about your relatives, even if it's an ordinary person, then you can't ignore it!"

"Hehe, relatives? This relative of mine has already returned to his hometown, and people go to tea and cool, guest officer, you should understand this truth. ”

Wenwu said: "Don't be too discouraged, shopkeeper, do you know who our adults are?" Our lord is a prison officer appointed by the emperor, do you think he will have no way to help you?

He exclaimed, still a little in disbelief of his eyes,.... Are you the Song Ci that the folk say, Song Ti Xing?"

Song Ci said: "Yes, I am Song Ci, can you trust me now?" He immediately came to Song Ci and knelt down, "Song Tixing, in fact, I have long felt that this case is fake, but unfortunately there is no evidence, and I have no power or power, so this matter can only be counted like this, but I didn't expect that Song Tixing woke me up with a word, my lord, if the matter is really done by that Hou Tianhua, I hope that the adult can give me justice." ”

Song Ci helped him up and said: "You get up first, I can guarantee that I will give you an explanation for this matter, as long as it is related to Hou Tianhua, Song will definitely not let him go."

The shopkeeper had also stopped crying, and Song Ci asked, "How long has this Wang Er been working in your shop?" How much silver will he get in a month?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, "Who is Wang Er?" Lord Song, I haven't heard of this name, you may be mistaken!"

Song Ci was stunned for a moment, and continued: "Isn't this Wang Er an apprentice in your shop? Don't you know him yet?"

"What kind of apprentice, I have never had an apprentice in this shop, Lord Song, we can't earn much money in a month, how can we hire someone?"

Song Ci suddenly understood a lot.

Several people left the house and walked on the way back to the yamen.

"My lord, I can't see it, every time we go to a county, the magistrate is a corrupt official, even at the feet of the Son of Heaven."

Song Ci said: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit, people die for money, birds die for food, Xiaoyue, you still underestimate the pursuit of wealth by human beings.

"Well, my lord's words are good, I agree very much, adults are adults, and what they say is different from ours."

Soon the crowd came to the yamen, which was empty, but the gate was open, for some reason.

Song Ci and the others entered the house, Wencheng Wenwu and the three went to buy food, Song Ci opened the case file and checked it carefully.

Qin Xiaoyue said: "My lord, you have been watching it for so long, why do you still watch it carefully?"

Song Ci said: "Human life is at stake, don't dare to be careless, Xiaoyue, do you know that this Hou Tianhua is not simple, not simple, he did not leave a single flaw in the case, the only clue is that the murderers are single."

"My lord, do we still have a chance to take him down? This person is so vicious, we can't just leave it at that, otherwise, how can we comfort the souls of the dead in heaven?"

"Of course, no matter what, Song must bring him down, otherwise he will never leave this safe county."

After a while, Wencheng Wenwu and the three of them came back from buying food, and as soon as they put it on the table, there were steamed buns and some meat, which were not hard dishes.

Lu Sheng said: "My lord, Miss Xiaoyue, we have already bought the food back, if you don't eat first, it will be cold in a while."
