Chapter 343: Business is in vain
Zhang Mingyuan on the other side was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gongsun Jian to ask this question.
Then he asked with some uncertainty: "My lord, do you already know who the murderer is?" ”
frowned, and before Gongsun Jian could speak, Gu Qing on the side was very smart and angrily reprimanded: "You can answer whatever the adults ask you, do you have the right to speak?" ”
Immediately, he showed a flattering look to Gongsun Jian.
Maybe it was because the magical action just now made Zhang Mingyuan a little scared, so when he heard Gu Qing's roar, he shook his body a little nervously.
"Brother Gu, be quiet, you scared Zhang Yuanwai." Gongsun Jian said with a headache.
When he first came back from rebirth, he was nervous about Gu Qing to death, who knew that through the contact in the past few days, he found that he didn't need to worry about Gu Qing at all.
As long as he is allowed to follow when handling the case, then he will definitely be honest.
"My lord, I promise I won't dare next time."
Seeing that Gongsun Jian was a little unhappy, Gu Qing over there hurriedly hugged his fists and said.
Seeing this, Gongsun Jian understood that what he was saying was nonsense, and Gu Qing would definitely become like this next time.
However, Gongsun Jian was actually not very angry, with Gu Qing here, he could also be a little easier when handling the case.
After all, sometimes he has to maintain the image of his county order, and he can't say anything cruel, but with Gu Qing here, as long as he looks at himself, he can understand what he means.
Sometimes Gongsun Jian is sighing, the people who come out of the Son of Heaven Guard are not simple, although they are a little stupid, but the ability to observe words and colors is very well cultivated.
It's just that Gongsun Jian feels a little lacking that it would be nice if Gu Qing's kung fu was more powerful.
It's like now, saying a word of praise is particularly embarrassing.
After looking at Zhang Mingyuan, who had recovered from his expression in front of him, Gongsun Jian continued to ask the question just now.
"Zhang Yuanwai, who do you think is the most likely?"
"My lord, it should be Zhang Xiaobao who is most likely." After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Mingyuan said something that made Gongsun Jian not feel any surprise.
After all, Zhang Xiaobao, as a man, is the biggest threat to Zhang Mingyuan, not to mention that judging from his expression just now, he still suspects that Zhang Xiaobao has a bad relationship with Miao Caiwei.
Therefore, Zhang Mingyuan immediately thought that it was Zhang Xiaobao, and Gongsun Jian was not surprised at all.
If Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaoyu, one of them has a bad relationship with Miao Caiwei, maybe Zhang Mingyuan's first thought is not him.
But Zhang Xiaoyu has a good relationship with Miao Caiwei, and even has something with Zhang Mingyuan. Psychologically, Zhang Mingyuan naturally wants to favor Zhang Xiaoyu.
Nodding, Gongsun Jian didn't continue to ask.
just pretended to circle around him a few times, and then said to Gu Qing: "Brother Gu, go and call Zhang Chenglin." ”
"Yes, sir." Without hesitation, Gu Qing hurriedly clenched his fists and took his life.
Seeing that Gongsun Jian was going to call Zhang Chenglin, Zhang Mingyuan on the side was a little anxious, after all, he was very afraid that his son was the murderer.
After all, he has lived so long, and it is nothing to be beheaded. But the son can't, he has just come of age, and he still has a great youth.
What's more, the incense of the Zhang family has not left a seedling.
Thinking of the Zhang family's incense problem, Zhang Mingyuan suddenly sighed, with a complicated expression and didn't know what he was thinking.
On the other side, although he was curious about his expression, Gongsun Jian didn't ask.
After all, when the case is closed, there is time to ask, and there is no hurry.
After a while, Gu Qing walked over with Zhang Chenglin, and Gongsun Jian came to him and asked the same question.
"My lord, I suspect it's Zhang Xiaoyu." Zhang Chenglin finally said a different answer.
"Why do you doubt her?" Gongsun Jian asked curiously.
"Because, it was Xiaobao who asked me to apologize to my aunt last night." Zhang Chenglin hurriedly said.
"Wouldn't that be more conducive to him to poison? He poisons you to deliver tea. Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian spoke.
"No way, Xiaobao can't have poisoned my aunt." Shaking his head, Zhang Chenglin hurriedly denied it.
"Oh? Why do you think so? Gongsun Jian asked again with some surprise.
"Because..."Speaking of this, Zhang Chenglin glanced at Zhang Mingyuan beside him, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Because my aunt has no objection to me being with Xiaobao, it is impossible for Xiaobao to think about killing my aunt at all." If he really wanted to kill someone, he would definitely kill my father. ”
As soon as this inexplicable sentence came out, everyone present was a little shocked.
Of course, although Gongsun Jian was very surprised in his heart, he just nodded lightly and did not show any other expressions.
After all, in the previous life, this kind of thing that transcended common sense was not unprecedented.
At the same time, he also understood why Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Chenglin behaved so strangely, at first he thought they were half-brothers, but at that time he was still lamenting that Zhang Yuanwai didn't even recognize his son.
However, at this time, he understood that Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Chenglin had such a complicated relationship.
No wonder Zhang Mingyuan has always been unkind to Zhang Xiaobao, it turns out that he is not afraid of being hatted!
He was worried that the Zhang family's incense was going to be broken!
It's just that Gongsun Jian is a little curious about why Miao Caiwei's heart is so big that she would agree to this kind of thing.
Although Miao Caiwei is a stepmother, she is also Zhang Chenglin's elder!
And the most important thing is that Miao Caiwei and Zhang Mingyuan have never had children.
If she wants her children to inherit the family property, it is impossible to say at all.
Thinking about it, Gongsun Jian could only think that the reason why Miao Caiwei was so open-minded should be to have a good mother-son relationship with Zhang Chenglin.
It's a pity that the relationship between the two here was just about to ease, but Miao Caiwei was poisoned by Zhang Xiaoyu.
Throwing the thoughts in his heart out of his mind for a while, Gongsun Jian looked at Gu Qing, who was shocked by Zhang Chenglin's words just now.
"Brother Gu, go and call Zhang Xiaobao."
Hearing Gongsun Jian's voice, Gu Qing over there immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly left with a hint of inexplicability.
After a while, Gu Qing walked over with the soft and weak Zhang Xiaobao.
However, Gongsun Jian found that when Gu Qing brought people over, he didn't want to be so afraid of people running away as he had just leaned on.
At this time, he was some distance away from Zhang Xiaobao, and seeing this, Gongsun Jian could almost think of Gu Qing's thoughts.
However, he didn't care, after all, this kind of thing was really not common in ancient times.
Although it is said that many upper echelons in ancient times liked to do this kind of thing, in the Great Zhou, this kind of thing was not often seen.
Therefore, it is normal for Gu Qing to be a little worried and curious.
In front of Zhang Xiaobao, Gongsun Jian asked the same question, and there was no accident, he also pointed to Zhang Xiaoyu.
As for why Gongsun Jian didn't have an accident, it was because with Zhang Mingyuan and Zhang Chenglin by his side, Zhang Xiaobao couldn't even say that other people were impossible!
Nodding, Gongsun Jian directly asked Gu Qing to take the three of them to other places.
After a while, Gu Qing, who had arranged the three people, came over a little mysteriously.
"My lord, is the murderer that Zhang Xiaoyu?" Gu Qing asked with some curiosity.
Nodding, Gongsun Jian was not surprised that he could guess.
After all, it's all so obvious, if Gu Qing can't guess it, there is definitely something wrong with his head.
Seeing Gongsun Jian admit it, Gu Qing was a little excited, and then hurriedly said, "My lord, do you want to arrest Zhang Xiaoyu now." ”
"Don't worry, the evidence is not there yet? How do you arrest people? Shaking his head, Gongsun Jian rejected his offer.
If it weren't for the lack of evidence, where would he have bothered so much.
Hearing this, Gu Qing stood listlessly beside Gongsun Jian like a deflated ball.
However, after waiting for a while, seeing that Gongsun Jian hadn't asked him to call Zhang Xiaoyu over, he suddenly became curious again.
"My lord, do you want to call Zhang Xiaoyu now?" Gu Qing proposed.
After all, in his mind, if he didn't call Zhang Xiaoyu here, then how could he find evidence!
Shaking his head, Gongsun Jian rejected his offer again.
Of course, seeing that he was so curious, Gongsun Jian also revealed some news to him.
"I'm waiting for someone to arrive." Gongsun Jian said a little mysteriously.
Originally, he thought that with Gu Qing's brain, he shouldn't be able to think of who he was waiting for, but unfortunately, as soon as his words came out, Gu Qing asked curiously: "My lord, are you waiting for Yang Shopkeeper?" ”
Gongsun Jian was shocked.
When did the stupid master become so smart?
It's just that Gongsun Jian doesn't want to think about it, he is motionless here, what else can he do besides waiting for someone?
And only shopkeeper Yang and a servant went out just now, so apart from these two people, Gu Qing couldn't think of anyone else at all.
After all, he is slow to react and his brain is not flexible. Not really stupid, so such a simple question, of course he could guess.
Looking at Gongsun Jian's expression, Gu Qing was a little disappointed, originally he thought that he had guessed so hard, Gongsun Jian should be surprised.
But what he didn't expect was that the Gongsun Jian in front of him was still plain and untouched.
I have to say that Gongsun Jian's behavior of hiding his expression has gone deep into the bone marrow, no matter what he faces, he is so bland.
For example, now, although he was surprised that his stupid master had become smarter, there was no trace of it on his face.
Of course, although Gongsun Jian is better hidden, it is still not enough to see when facing some old foxes.
However, Gu Qing was not an old fox after all, so naturally he didn't see it.
With a hint of disappointment, Gu Qing didn't know what he was thinking, and honestly stood by Gongsun Jian's side and waited for the arrival of Shopkeeper Yang.
Fortunately, without letting Gongsun Jian and the others wait long, Shopkeeper Yang came panting and running over with an account book.
Walking down from the chair, Gongsun Jian hurriedly ran over.
"Shopkeeper Yang, thank you so much." Smiling slightly, Gongsun Jian hurriedly thanked him.
After all, people are running around, and they are still so old, if Gongsun Jian doesn't express it, it will be too rude.
Hearing Gongsun Jian's thanks, although the shopkeeper Yang over there was a little tired, but at this time he seemed to be full of strength, and hurriedly smiled and said to Gongsun Jian: "Lord County Order, this is what a villain should do, you don't have to be polite." ”
It's just that although his words are so, his expression is very useful.
Gongsun Jian naturally wouldn't be angry with an old man, so he hurriedly asked about business.
"Shopkeeper Yang, does Zhang Xiaoyu have any record of buying Lei Gongteng?"
Hearing Gongsun Jian's words, Shopkeeper Yang remembered the matter, and quickly checked the record, and after a while, he turned to the record of Zhang Xiaoyu's purchase of Lei Gongteng.
"My lord, there is, but I only bought one or two dollars." Frowning, Shopkeeper Yang spoke.
On the way to the pharmacy, he also listened to the official tell him about the case, so he naturally frowned.
For this Tripterygium wilfordii, which needs to carry a weight to cause death, there are only one or two dollars on the record, which is simply impossible.
"So little?" Gongsun Jian also frowned and asked.
"Yes, my lord, that's true." Nodding, Shopkeeper Yang once again confirmed that he was not mistaken.
