Under the grievances of the county magistrate, Zhang Zhutou leaned against the door with his hands on his chest, looking at Cao Xiu's distant back, his eyes were a little complicated.

It's been a hard time lately.

Ever since he stabbed Lei Heng in the waist, the people of the Shen family no longer trusted him.

I remember kneeling on the ground that day, showing loyalty to Cao Xiu, and his attitude was still sincere, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it.

Speaking of which, now both sides are offended.

Regret it?

Zhang Zhutou admitted that he did not regret it, the situation was urgent at that time, and anyone would do it.

But now, what to do?

In fact, he just wants to live well and make a little money by the way, but since he got on the ship of the Shen family, he has begun to become unaware of himself.

Zhang Zhutou sighed, straightened up, pressed the head-catching knife on his waist with one hand, and then headed in the direction of Lei Mansion.

Cao Xiu and they are going to Lei Mansion, presumably Lei Heng told him something, Mr. Xu's words are still in his ears, and Zhang Zhutou does not dare to disobey.

……

Tangshifang in the west of the city, the Lei Mansion at this time, is lifeless, and it has lost the previous bustle and hustle.

The gate is sealed, and passers-by choose to take a detour.

Cao Xiu took Song Caiwei and the three of them, and the two catchers followed behind them.

When I arrived at Lei Mansion, I had already taken out the key to open the side door on the side.

Cao Xiu asked two catchers to guard the door, while he and Song Caiwei entered the mansion.

Because he had committed a murder and was wiped out again, the yin qi of the Lei Mansion seemed to be a little heavy, and it felt much colder than the outside.

The important things in the house have been moved back to the county government by the officials, and now when you step into this place, you can really describe it in four words: empty.

Cao Xiu didn't look at them much, and went directly to Lei Heng's study.

Lei Heng said before his death that Shen Wen was a very cautious person, and he used to contact him unilaterally.

But Lei Heng kept a hand for himself, he had a diary, which was written about the transactions with Shen Wen over the years.

The diary is kept in a secret room in the study.

As soon as they entered the study, the four of them began to fumble around.

They didn't let go of any place in the study.

Cao Yingying stood in front of a row of bookshelves, carefully flipping through each book on the shelf with both hands, and when her arm accidentally touched the decorative vase in the shelf, she thought that the vase would fall off, and hurriedly went to hold it, but soon, she found that the vase was not moving, and Cao Yingying hurriedly called Cao Xiu and them over.

You don't have to look at it to know that this vase must be a mechanism.

Cao Yingying planned to turn the vase, and the vase could indeed turn, but Cao Xiu said: "Be careful, what if the wall is removed later, what if poisonous arrows are shot in the secret room?" ”

Cao Xiu seemed to be a little too cautious, but the other three all did as he said.

Several people scattered to the side, and after that, Cao Yingying slowly turned the vase.

As soon as the vase turned, the entire bookshelf began to shakily move to the left, and then the wall in front of it also turned.

Soon, the secret room that Lei Heng said appeared in front of them.

Entering the secret room, there was a rosewood box on the table on the left.

The box was locked, Cao Xiu took out the key in his arms, tried it, and could open it, but he was still cautious, afraid that there was also a mechanism in the box.

However, Lei Heng didn't hurt him this time.

Cao Xiu took out the diary in the box.

The four of them walked out of the secret room first and walked to the bright hall.

When I opened the diary, it was densely filled with things that Shen Wen wanted Lei Heng to do in the past few years.

In order to save time, Cao Xiu specially turned to the back, that is, the beginning of the months when Song Zhixian had an accident.

"On a certain day in a certain month, Song Zhixian seems to have discovered Lord Shen's incredible secret, Lord Shen is very worried about it, and I don't know what secrets Lord Shen is hiding......"

"On a certain day in a certain month, Lord Shen asked me to go to the well in Shijia Village in the west of the city to put sick and dead rabbits......"

"On a certain day in a certain month, Lord Shen said that Song Zhixian was too idle these days, and asked me to do a few murder cases for him......"

When they saw this, all four of them were surprised.

Song Caiwei said: "No wonder my father was so busy in the three months before he died, it turned out that they were all ghosts......"

Cao Xiu said: "Don't worry, Caiwei, let's look down first......"

"On a certain day in a certain month, I learned from others that Lord Shen had obtained a bottle of poison from a merchant in the Western Regions, and that night, he held a banquet in the mansion and sent someone to invite the ...... of Song Zhi County."

When Song Caiwei saw this, she choked up and said, "My father was really poisoned by them......"

Cao Xiudao: "There is still ...... behind"

"I heard that the poison is colorless and tasteless, even after death, there will be no signs, but it can penetrate deep into the bone marrow, killing people invisibly, people will feel dizzy and irritable after taking a quarter of an hour, if you don't take the antidote within an hour, even if Bian Que comes, you can't save ......"

Song Caiwei covered her mouth, and two lines of hot tears couldn't help but roll down, "Dad, Dad......"

Cao Xiu said: "Cai Wei, let's do an autopsy." ”

Song Caiwei asked, "What do you say?" ”

Cao Xiu saw that her mood was no longer right, so he hurriedly explained: "Didn't you read what it says in the log, although this medicine is colorless and tasteless, it can penetrate deep into the bone marrow, we just need to open Uncle Song's coffin, and we will know if we look at it......"

"Yes, you're right."

Song Caiwei was teary-eyed, and Cao Yingying hurriedly helped her.

After that, the four of them left the Thunder Mansion and went to the woods last night.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they stepped out of the Lei Mansion, a figure of a person appeared behind the four of them.

This person is Zhang Zhutou.

He is a frequent visitor to the Lei Mansion, and he is very familiar with the layout of the mansion, when Cao Xiu and a few people entered the door, he jumped into the mansion from under an inconspicuous wall, and then quietly followed Cao Xiu to the study.

Zhang Zhutou heard the content of their conversation just now, and at this time, seeing the four of them leaving in a hurry, he also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he hurriedly went in the opposite direction, planning to go to the Shen family to tell the truth.

……

"Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu ......"

"My lord, Brother Zhang Hu is gone."

"The others are gone...... too"

When Cao Xiu and the four of them rushed to the tomb of Song Zhi County, a strange thing fell in front of their eyes.

Zhang Hu, who was supposed to guard the grave in the thatched house, and the two officials were nowhere to be seen.

But there was no trace of a fight in the hut, and the people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Cao Xiu and the others searched everywhere, but they didn't see any trace of them.

"Isn't it going to happen again?"

Song Caiwei said.

Cao Yingying said: "Could it be someone from the Shen family......

Cao Xiu shook his head, and was about to say something, but he heard Zhang Hu's voice in a small bamboo forest in front of him.

"Help, help......"

"Stinky girl, let us go quickly, or ......"

"Otherwise, what else can you do with this girl? Hee-hee, you're so cute, and the way you hang from a tree is even more interesting......"

"If you have the ability to put your Grandpa Zhang down, let's fight a hundred rounds."

"Slightly...... I'm not going to fight you. ”

Cao Xiu and the four of them glanced at each other, and there was a situation in the bamboo forest......
