"Zhang Wang, you go on. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After seeing that the scene had quieted down a little, Chun'an Zhixian nodded to the young woman and motioned for her to continue.

"Woo...... Master Qingtian, my lord told me three days ago that he had hired a boatman Wang Gui, and said that he would go to Yingtianfu this morning to buy goods, and the appointment time was a quarter of a day. My lord packed up his salute at four o'clock this morning and went out with a soft bag. ”

The young woman Zhang Wangshi sobbed, wiping her tears while telling the cause and effect of the incident.

"After my lord went out this morning, about an hour later, the maid Bi'er replied to me that I heard someone knocking on the door, and the knock was very urgent, and she shouted 'Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, open the door quickly.'" When I walked into the courtyard, I heard such a shout, so I asked the maid Bi'er to open the door, and then found the boatman Wang Gui outside the door. I asked Wang Gui why he was in such a hurry and what happened. ”

Wang Gui asked anxiously, 'Mrs. Zhang, the hour is not early, why hasn't Master Zhang gotten on the boat yet?' I was very surprised to hear it, my lord has been out for an hour, why hasn't he gotten on the boat yet? Then I felt panicked, so I took the maidservant and called my mother's family to follow the boatman to the river to find my master, and met acquaintances on the road, and they said that they saw my master from the small road to the riverside, and walked down the river to the dock. When we arrived at the river, there was only one boat on the riverside, and there was no trace of my master. The slave family was worried and afraid, so they followed Wang Gui to the county government to report the case. ”

"My lord is a good person, he has done a lot of good things by helping neighbors, paving bridges and roads. My lord is famous for keeping his promises, as long as he has promised something, he will definitely do it, saying what time it will be there, and if he doesn't rush over at the appointed time, something must have happened. Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of the slave family, and the master of my family. ”

After the young woman held back her tears, she couldn't hold back any longer, and her whimpering and sobbing at the beginning turned into heartbreaking, kneeling on the ground and begging Chun'an Zhixian to make her the decision.

There was a buzzing sound around, as if there were countless flies flying, because there were officials around, people did not dare to speak loudly, but the whispers were continuous, especially when the young woman spoke.

People were in the way of official errands, and they just whispered to each other and expressed their opinions.

"Master Zhang only went out on the front foot, and someone knocked on the door on the back foot, so she opened the door, what does this mean, she is really used to water-based poplars."

"That's right, it's really not worth it for Master Zhang."

"Hey, I've heard a long time ago that this woman doesn't abide by women's morals, you said that the daughter-in-law of a serious family, who opens the door to a man early in the morning, maybe she thinks of the boatman as the concubine....."

"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. Master Zhang is also a big one, you can take a shortcut, but you must pay attention to safety, it rained last night, and the riverside is the most slippery......"

Compared with people's whispered discussions, when the young woman knelt to speak, Zhu Ping'an listened very carefully, and when he heard half of it, Zhu Ping'an's eyebrows moved slightly, slightly raised, as if a closed room had opened the door.

looked at the young woman kneeling at the feet of the county magistrate of Chun'an, and glanced at the boatman Wang Gui who was standing next to him waiting for a reply, and then Zhu Ping'an shifted his gaze to the magistrate.

Let's take a look at how the county handles it.

"You get up first, as a parent official, this official will naturally be the master of the people." Zhixian raised his hand, asked the young woman to pull up, and then looked at Wang Gui, the boatman on the side, and asked him to tell the matter again.

"Back to the Qingtian lord, the little one is called Wang Gui, and his ancestors have been begging for a living by the Yangtze River for generations, and so are the small ones. Three days ago, Mr. Zhang asked someone to find me and made an appointment to go to Yingtianfu to buy goods at one o'clock today. It was by this river, waiting for him to get to the boat. At the time of Mao, the little one came to the riverside to wait for Master Zhang, and when it was time for Mao to wait for Master Zhang, Master Zhang did not come. The little one waited for Master Zhang on the left by the river and didn't come, and the right waited for Master Zhang to come, and he waited for almost half an hour, but Master Zhang couldn't come. ”

"The time is all agreed in advance, and when I arrive at Yingtianfu, the small one has to pick up the young owner of Li Ji Tea Shop, and the old man Zhang is almost half an hour late and hasn't come to the boat, if you miss the time to pick up Li Shaodong's house, the small one can't afford to be guilty. So, the little one hurried to Mr. Zhang's house to urge him and ask Mr. Zhang why he hadn't gotten on the boat yet. ”

"When I arrived at Mr. Zhang's house, I hurriedly knocked on the door and called Mrs. Zhang to open the door. Mrs. Zhang asked why she was in such a hurry, and I asked that the time was not early, why didn't Mr. Zhang get on the boat. Then Mrs. Zhang was surprised and said that Mr. Zhang went out early in the morning. Then our group came to the riverside again, and there was indeed no trace of Master Zhang. Since Master Zhang has already gone out, why don't you get on the boat? Then Xiao felt wrong, so he persuaded Mrs. Zhang to report the case quickly. ”

There is no discrepancy between what the boatman Wang Gui said and what the young woman Zhang Wang said, they can all match, the words of the two are only different angles, but the content is the same.

After listening to what the boatman Wang Gui said, the people around exchanged their opinions in a whisper. Some say that the young woman Zhang Wang colluded with his concubine to kill Master Zhang, some say that Master Zhang took a shortcut and fell into the Yangtze River and encountered an accident, and some say that Master Zhang may have been killed when he went to the dock along the river......

After listening to what the boatman Wang Gui said, Chun'an Zhixian frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. The words of the boatman Wang Gui and Zhang Wang are generally the same, and there are no discrepancies......

After thinking for a moment, Chun'an Zhixian stretched his eyebrows slightly, he looked at the young woman Zhang Wang, and asked, "You just said that you met an acquaintance on the way to the riverside, and the acquaintance said that Master Zhang took a shortcut from the path to the riverside. Who is this acquaintance's last name? ”

In the eyes of Chun'an Zhixian, the acquaintance Zhang Wang said is the key, whether Master Zhang went to the riverside or not is related to the location of the search work, and it is also helpful to the case.

"Yes......" the young woman hesitated slightly.

"Who is it?" Chun'an Zhixian set his eyes on the young woman, and the eyes under her eyebrows were very deep.

"Back to the master, he is the descendant of the slave family's mother's family, Murakami, who carries goods at the dock, and the second lang of the old Zhao family in the east of the village." The young woman Zhang Wang replied under the gaze of Chun'an Zhixian.

After the young woman Zhang Wang's return, the sound of people talking to each other reached a climax, even if there was an errand servant around, the sound was buzzing, and it seemed that people were very excited.

"The second lang of the old Zhao family, isn't it her good look before she married Master Zhang?"

"It turned out to be Zhao Erlang, I have to be embarrassed to say it, tsk, didn't Zhao Erlang study and prepare for the exam, why did he suddenly go to the dock to carry the goods? Short of money? ”

"Hey, poor old man Zhang, hey, phew, adulterer and silver woman!"

Listening to the young woman Zhang Wang's answer, people pointed at the young woman more, and many people also had a lot of pictures in their heads, and then sighed and spit one after another.

"Someone, go and pass Zhao Erlang to come, this official has a few questions I want to ask." Chun'an Zhixian recruited four messengers and told them to "invite" Zhao Erlang to come.

Biography Zhao Erlang?

Well, how long does it take to go back and forth like this! It will take at least half an hour on the road alone, plus the county magistrate's inquiry, etc., I don't know how long it will last. Moreover, where is the use of such trouble.

Zhu Ping'an looked at the sick and haggard sick old man not far away, as well as his worried son, as well as the scholar who looked at the direction of Ying Tianfu on tiptoe, and which of the first-time fathers rubbed their hands and looked in the direction of home from time to time......

The sun and the moon are gone, and the years are not with me.

Forget it, let's do it myself.

So, a clear voice sounded suddenly, and an honest young man crossed the crowd, pointed to the boatman Wang Gui, and looked up at Chun'an Zhixian.

"Trouble your lord to arrest this murderer." (To be continued.) )
