Li Gang sat down with a little disappointment, and gave the scribe next to him a look, and the scribe understood, prepared the pen and paper, and began to record.

Xu Tian's spirit was a little sluggish, he sat down in front of the table and began to confess his crimes.

"Three months ago, a monk who was walking by was robbed and killed by us, and his body was buried in the Mihe stream."

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect Xu Tian to really recruit him, and he opened his mouth to be a homicide!

"Brother Chen, why did he suddenly recruit him?" Li Shuang asked with some excitement.

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Maybe it's his conscience?" ”

Li Shuang glanced at Chen Zheng and nodded.

Chen Zheng was a little speechless, and said in his heart: Can you believe this? It's too simple!

If it weren't for the fact that the table case had the attribute of deterrence and confession, the ghost would believe that Xu Tian was willing to move.

"In October last year, a young couple went back to their parents' house to save their relatives, and we kidnapped them, the man was thrown into the river, and the woman was us, hehehe."

"It's a beast!" Li Shuang scolded, "Is it possible for such a person to find out with a conscience?" ”

The surrounding jailers, including the county magistrate Li Gang, also became more and more frightened the more they listened.

Li Gang was originally very happy, and Xu Tian confessed his guilt, and he was relieved.

But after Xu Tian shook out the cases he had done one by one, Li Gang began to be shocked and angry!

In the past two years, most of the missing people in Dongyang County have been related to this Xu Tian, which is simply full of evil, extremely vicious, and full of evil!

Li Shuang, who had never been in contact with such a dark side, couldn't listen to it anymore, and pulled Chen Zheng out of the cell with a pale face.

"Brother Chen, why is Xu Tian so brutal? Why do you see life as a mustard? Li Shuang asked.

"Greed and jealousy are the greatest original sins!" Chen Zheng sighed and said, "Oh, you may not understand. ”

Li Shuang really didn't understand, and his eyes looked a little blank.

Chen Zheng patted Li Shuang's shoulder and said, "Go back and rest early, and get a good night's sleep." ”

Li Shuang nodded, and walked back in a bit of a daze.

That night, almost all the tolerances in Dongyang County were dispatched to implement the place where Xu Tian said to throw the corpse.

Some old cases are about to be solved.

The interrogation in the prison did leave a psychological shadow on Li Shuang, and he stayed at home for two days and did not come out.

On the third day, when Chen Zheng made him a repeater, Li Shuang finally went out happily, like a nobody.

And today is the day of the celebration of the county commander Li Gang, everyone is busy, and no one pays attention to him.

In the evening, Li Gang's Shoutang was arranged.

The south side of Shoutang is all hung with red silk, and there is a word "Shou" in the middle, although it is not a famous handwriting, but it is also vigorous and powerful.

There is a couplet on both sides of the word "longevity", and a pair of longevity curtains are hung on it.

In the center of the judo is a square table with a shou peach made of noodles and a few bouquets of flowers.

A pair of birthday candles have been lit, and the candlelight is shaking, adding a bit of atmosphere.

Tables and chairs used by guests are also lined up on both sides of the judo.

As night approached, guests came to celebrate their birthdays one after another, and the person in charge of the reception at the door introduced them to the Shoutang.

The scribes of the yamen also came to help, and were responsible for recording the birthday ceremony, singing while remembering.

"Xicheng Wang's family, two white fish, remember!"

"Dongcheng Li family, a golden chicken, remember!"

……

Chen Zheng and Li Shuang, as well as Qin Ning, had already arrived, and as for Yin Yin, they went to the county town with Meng Chujiu.

After listening to this gift list, Chen Zheng asked: "These people give this to the birthday of the county commander?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Li Shuang asked.

"Doesn't it look shabby?"

Qin Ning smiled slightly, and replied for Li Shuang: "Lord Li has always been honest, of course he will not take this opportunity to collect money." ”

Chen Zheng nodded and continued to listen to the scribe's singing.

"Beicheng Bifu, one Ruyi, two pairs of pig's trotters. Ruyi, retreat; Pig's trotters, remember! ”

When Bi Yuanwai heard this, he hurriedly sneered: "This is just a little bit of my heart for adults, take it!" ”

The scribe gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Either the people go, or the things are taken away, I'm busy, the next one!" ”

Na Bi Yuanwai obviously didn't want to miss this opportunity to show his face in front of the county magistrate, as long as he put Ruyi away, he entered Shoutang.

"Haidai Yuan, a mountain treasure civet, retreat!"

The shopkeeper of Haidai Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is this also a problem?" ”

The scribe was also a little embarrassed, and explained: "I have heard from adults that there is a god who gave him a dream and told him not to touch wild meat in the future, so that he can live a long life." You, let's change it. ”

The shopkeeper of Haidai Yuan was a little speechless, an inexplicable dream made his birthday gift come to naught, this county magistrate is also a person who has read books, how can he be so superstitious!

Fortunately, he still had a backup plan, so he took out an inkstone from his arms and handed it over.

The scribe took it and looked at it, it was not a famous inkstone, but an ordinary inkstone sold in Dongyang County, so he shouted: "Haidaiyuan, the inkstone side, remember!" ”

The guests who came to celebrate the birthday walked in one by one, and according to the order of seating, Chen Zheng and they just stayed in an inconspicuous corner, around a small table.

Subsequently, tonight's birthday star, the county commander Li Gang came to the Shoutang, everyone stood up and saluted, and after Li Gang returned the salute one by one, he sat in the middle of the hall.

The birthday feast begins.

Although this banquet is not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, it is also exquisite and ingenious, and the taste of various dishes is also good.

The guests in the Shoutang must first toast to the birthday star, "wine" and "long" are the same sound, and this first cup of wine symbolizes that the birthday star can live a long life.

Subsequently, there was the birthday worship session, and the first one to appear was naturally Li Gang's son Li Shuang.

I saw Li Shuang straighten his clothes, stand up from Chen Zheng, and walk in front of Li Gang in the hall.

At this moment, there was already an extra futon in front of Li Gang, Li Shuang knelt on the futon, bowed down, thanked for the grace of life and nourishment, and recited a birthday greeting that had been memorized in advance.

Li Gang was very happy and sent a big red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago.

Li Shuang took the red envelope and said to Li Gang: "Dad, I have also prepared a birthday gift for you." ”

"Oh, what do I have in store?" Li Gang asked with a smile.

Li Shuang beckoned to the people outside, and then an armchair was lifted up.

"I saw that the chair in my father's study was quite old, so I went to make a new one for you." Li Shuang said.

Li Guang looked at the chair, nodded, and said, "My son has this filial piety, and I am very relieved!" ”

"Eh, why is the style of this chair so familiar?"

"When you say this, I remember, isn't this the armchair in the private room of Haidai Garden?"

"Really! Shopkeeper Xu, why do you still sell chairs in Haidaiyuan? ”

The shopkeeper Xu of Haidai Yuan was also a little puzzled, and hurriedly explained: "This is not sold from us, how can we sell furniture?" ”

Li Shuang saw that everyone had such a reaction, so he said: "This is indeed not bought from Haidaiyuan, but I found a friend to make it." ”

"Impossible!" The shopkeeper of Haidai Yuan Xu affirmed.
