Chapter 338: The Confession Is Out

But it's a pity that Gu Changshun and his two family members didn't bring weapons at that time, and although Gu Changshun's attack on the county order has been confirmed, Gongsun Jian can only lock him up for a month.

After all, Gongsun Jian was not injured, although the matter was bad, but it could not be sentenced heavily.

If you eat the imperial food of the Great Zhou, you have to obey the laws of the Great Zhou.

At this point, Gongsun Jian didn't plan to directly suppress Gu Changshun with a stick.

With Gu Changshun's weakness, Gongsun Jian could find a breakthrough to deal with Gu Fugui from him again.

Besides, with Gu Changshun's confession before, as long as the Gu family is completely suppressed later, then those who were afraid of the Gu family before will definitely take the initiative to come over and submit a confession.

In this way, he can not only let Gu Changshun get the punishment he deserves, but also get more popularity points smoothly.

In the eyes of Gongsun Jian, Gu Changshun, a not very smart person, is still of little value.

"My lord, someone has come to report an emergency." When Gongsun Jian was thinking about the popularity value brought by Gu Changshun with a smile on his face, Lin Changqing didn't knock on the door, and ran directly to his office room.

Gongsun Jian didn't care about this, after all, there was an urgent case, and this little bit of subsection was nothing at all.

Retracting the smile on his face just now, Gongsun Jian hurriedly asked, "Bring people here." ”

In fact, without Gongsun Jian speaking, Lin Changqing had already begun to wave to the door.

After a while, a timid young man walked in.

Why do you say that he is timid?

It's really the way he walked in, which made it seem that he didn't have much courage.

Bent over and bowed his head, he secretly glanced at Gongsun Jian from time to time.

"What case?" Not caring about the young man's appearance, Gongsun Jian hurriedly asked.

After all, he only needs to handle seven more cases at most now, and he can leave Tianyuan County, and he can even be promoted to the next level.

Hearing Gongsun Jian's question, the young man over there was a little flustered, and he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, not only Gongsun Jian frowned, but Lin Changqing next to him was also a little impatient, and hurriedly pushed him.

It's just that what made Gongsun Jian a little speechless was that as soon as Lin Changqing got started, the young man over there was so frightened that he hid to the side and squatted down.

At this time, Lin Changqing was furious, and directly lifted him up with both hands.

"What do you say? Hurry up! Lin Changqing shouted at the young man.

Lin Changqing was about to die of anger, and as soon as this young man came, he said that he wanted to report an emergency, so he hurriedly took it to Gongsun Jian's room.

I didn't expect this young man to come in and not say a word, which made Lin Changqing not angry?

If this young man was reporting a false case, Lin Changqing would have to peel off the young man's skin.

It's just that Lin Changqing's shout made the young man seem to be even more nervous.

"Okay, Lin Zhutou, don't rush him, if you do, he will be even more nervous and speechless." Gongsun Jian hurriedly interrupted Lin Changqing's action that he wanted to continue.

When people are nervous, they can't speak, and they can't control it at all.

Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Lin Changqing over there was helpless, so he could only hug his fist at Gongsun Jian, and then glared at the young man fiercely.

The young man shuddered again.

Seeing this, Gongsun Jian almost thought that Lin Changqing was causing trouble for him, didn't he see that the young man was nervous and speechless?

Fortunately, half an hour had passed, and when Gongsun Jian was quietly sipping tea, the young man finally spoke.

It's just that as soon as his words came out, Gongsun Jian almost squirted out the tea that had not yet been swallowed in his mouth.

"My lord, someone in our house has died." The young man said in a trembling voice,

He's ordered! Why are all the strange people I have met these days, and reporting a case is the same as something unseemly.

"Let's go, let's talk on the way." Wiping the corners of his mouth, Gongsun Jian hurriedly shouted.

It's just that the young man didn't know if it was because someone in the house died, and he was so frightened that he was still going on, and as soon as he turned around, he almost couldn't stand steadily.

Seeing this, Lin Changqing beside him finally became kind.

Hurry up and hold the young man up.

After walking out of the yamen, Gongsun Jian opened his mouth to ask the young man.

"Who in your house died?" Gongsun Jian asked.

Listening to Gongsun Jian's question, although the young man was very nervous, he still finished his words intermittently.

It turned out that this young man was Zhang Xiaobao, a servant of the Zhang Mansion in the east of the city, and when he went to knock on the door of the eldest lady's room as usual this morning, he found that no one answered at all.

In desperation, he had to ask Zhang Xiaoyu, the maid in the house, to come over and push the door.

It's just that after pushing open the door, I found that the eldest lady Miao Caiwei had died in the room.

So Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly ran to the yamen to report the case, after all, a young woman died suddenly, and according to the law of the Great Zhou, it must be reported to the government.

Listening to Zhang Xiaobao's story, and thinking about Zhang Xiaobao's nervous look just now, Gongsun Jian almost suspected that the murderer was him.

Fortunately, the information from the system made him understand that the murderer was not this handsome young man, but someone else.

"Ding, the task is released, Miao Caiwei died violently at home, what should I do?"

"Option one, Miao Caiwei died of natural causes, and her popularity value is -1."

"Option two, arrest the murderer Zhang Xiaoyu and bring him to justice, with a GPA +1."

Without any hesitation, Gongsun Jian directly chose the second one. Besides, there is no benefit to choosing one, only disadvantages.

Gongsun Jian is not a fool, how can he choose something that has no interests?

Because this Zhang Xiaobao was a little too nervous, Gongsun Jian had no choice but to stop asking everyone in the Zhang Mansion.

But in his heart, he was also beginning to plan how to find out Zhang Xiaoyu, the murderer, for a while.

In about half an hour, several people from Gongsun Jianxing came to Zhang's mansion.

It's just that Gongsun Jian was a little surprised that he originally thought that there were two servants in Zhang's mansion, so he was also a rich man.

But as soon as he came to the door, looking at the somewhat dilapidated gate, Gongsun Jian was a little shaken.

Rich people can't pretend to be low-key, right? What's more, it's in this Tianyuan County.

Moreover, what surprised Gongsun Jian the most was that although this Zhang Mansion was quite large, there were no two people who opened the door.

Zhang Xiaobao was very nervous all the way, so he didn't push the door open for a long time, and finally a few officials helped push the door open.

With Zhang Xiaobao walked to the hall of Zhang's mansion.

At this time, there were only three people in the hall, two men and one woman, all of whom were sad and did not speak.

That girl's appearance is obviously a maid, and it should be the murderer Zhang Xiaoyu. As for the two others, they should be Zhang Mingyuan, the master of the Zhang family, and Zhang Chenglin, the eldest young master of the Zhang family.

"Young master, the Gongsun County Order is here." As soon as he came to the hall, Zhang Xiaobao seemed to have come back to his senses, and immediately said hello to Zhang Chenglin in spirit.

This scene made Gongsun Jian feel very weird, after all, it stands to reason that Zhang Mingyuan has not hung up yet, and the entire Zhang family should be his master, why did Zhang Xiaobao go to say hello to Zhang Chenglin first?

Zhang Mingyuan over there seemed to be a commonplace situation and was not angry. Hurriedly trotted to Gongsun Jian's side.

"The county magistrate, the villain Zhang Mingyuan." Immediately, he pointed to his son, "This is the dog Zhang Chenglin." ”

"Zhang Yuanwai, I've already heard Zhang Xiaobao say about the matter on the way, now let's hurry up and take a look at Mrs. Ling's corpse, right?" There was no meaning of greetings, and Gongsun Jian directly named the subject.

After all, compared to getting political performance points, greeting Zhang Mingyuan is not interesting at all.

Zhang Mingyuan over there was not angry, and hurriedly took Gongsun Jian and others to Miao Caiwei's room in the backyard.

On the way to the backyard, Gongsun Jian also found that the entire Zhang Mansion was also a little dilapidated except for the gate.

In this regard, Gongsun Jian guessed that it should be that the Zhang family has begun to decline now, otherwise it would be impossible not to even do basic repairs.

However, Gongsun Jian doesn't care about these, he is now the same as Gu Qing, and his only thought is to handle the case.

After all, Miao Caiwei is the wife of Zhangfu, so the room is not too small, and it is enough for seven or eight people to stand.

However, it was useless for all the people to come in, so Gongsun Jian only walked in with Gu Qing and Qi Zuo.

As for Lin Changqing and several other officials, Gongsun Jian was directly placed outside the door to guard.

Seeing that he was checking there, Gongsun Jian didn't forget to ask Zhang Mingyuan beside him about the relationship between everyone in the house and Miao Caiwei.

After all, he wanted to really arrest Zhang Xiaoyu, and he couldn't do it without some evidence.

Only by sorting out the process of the case step by step in front of everyone can people be convinced that this is how he found out the murderer.

"Zhang Yuanwai, I don't know how your relationship with your wife is?" Gongsun Jian asked with a curious expression.

The reason why he asked Zhang Mingyuan about the relationship between him and his wife first, instead of asking Zhang Xiaoyu, the murderer, about the relationship between Miao Caiwei.

In fact, it is to give everyone the illusion that he, like everyone else, does not know who the real murderer is.

After Zhang Mingyuan, who was a little sad over there, heard this, he didn't know whether he didn't react or was pretending to be stupid.

In short, he didn't say anything else, but just said the relationship between the two with a sad face.

This Miao Caiwei is Zhang Mingyuan's second wife and has been married to him for seven years. The relationship between the two is not bad.

This time, Miao Caiwei lived alone. It's because after quarreling with Zhang Mingyuan last night, he came to this room to spend the night in anger.

Regarding Zhang Mingyuan's words, whether they were true or false, Gongsun Jian didn't take them to heart. After all, the murderer is obviously Zhang Xiaoyu.

"What about the relationship between Ling Lang and his wife?" Gongsun Jian continued to ask.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyuan in front of him showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. In the end, he said: "My lord, I believe you also know that stepfathers and stepmothers usually have a bad relationship with their original sons, and this is almost the case in my family. ”

Gongsun Jian nodded pretendically, and then asked, "What is the relationship between Zhang Xiaoyu and your wife?" ”

In fact, Gongsun Jian wanted to ask Zhang Xiaobao first, but then he thought about it a little inappropriate, so he still asked Zhang Xiaoyu's relationship first.

After all, generally speaking, in a wealthy family, the relationship between the lady and the maid is the worst.

Because many ladies are worried that their maids will seduce their masters.

It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Jian followed the train of thought of ordinary people and first asked about the relationship between Zhang Xiaoyu and his wife.

Maybe Zhang Mingyuan in front of him also thought so, so after hearing Gongsun Jian's words, he hurriedly spoke: "Actually, Xiaoyu is still very good, our family is not as good as before, so the wages of the servants and maids are much less than those in other houses in the county." ”

"But Xiaoyu has a good relationship with my wife, the two of them are usually like sisters, they usually don't complain at all, we treat her as our own family."

"Zhang Xiaoyu has a good relationship with your wife?" Gongsun Jian was a little surprised.

Since the relationship is good, why is the murderer Zhang Xiaoyu?

At the beginning, Gongsun Jian was still thinking about preparing to close the case quickly for the sake of political achievements.

However, hearing Zhang Mingyuan's words, Gongsun Jian began to be a little curious about today's case.

Zhang Mingyuan over there naturally didn't know what Gongsun Jian was thinking, and when he heard that he was surprised by the relationship between his wife and Zhang Xiaoyu, although he was still a little sad, his mood was obviously much better.
