"What? Now know that you are in a hurry? ”

Yan Zixi snorted coldly, the more she looked at this Li, the more she felt that she had a ghost in her heart.

Otherwise, why be in a hurry to know what his husband said?

"We went to your house and met your husband, so what? Your husband just said something about the situation, is there anything wrong? ”

Yan Zixi stared at Li's eyes, usually the eyes of people with weak hearts would inadvertently dodge.

Yan Zixi also noticed that Li's eyes had been erratic since just now, obviously lying from beginning to end.

Xiao Jingcong also knocked on the side, "Li, what are you afraid of, why do you care about what your husband told us?" ”

"I ...... I'm just asking...... Feel free to ask......"

Li smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly turned to Tailor Zhao and said, "Tailor Zhao, this cloth and silk will be placed here for you, and when the new clothes are ready, I will come here to get ......."

Saying that, Li Shi panicked and proposed his resignation to Xiao Jingcong.

"This official, it's not too early at this time, I have to rush back to cook for my husband, so I won't stay long, and I ......will leave."

"Wait!"

Xiao Jingcong saw that Li was leaving, and hurriedly stopped her from behind.

"Did I let you go?"

"Uh...... Official...... You...... What else do you command? Lee turned around and smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Jingcong glanced Li up and down, and then asked, "Li, let me ask you, what is your family's economic situation?" ”

"My husband and I are ordinary poor people, financially constrained, and our lives are not good, so you can laugh at the official......" Li didn't know why Xiao Jingcong suddenly asked about this, so he had to tell the truth.

"If life is not good, what is the harvest of that year?"

"My husband Jun Erdezi makes a living by collecting firewood and delivering firewood, and after a year of hard work, he probably can't earn five taels of silver......"

Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, then walked to Tailor Zhao's side, picked up a roll of cloth that Li had just placed here, and then asked Tailor Zhao again.

"Tailor Zhao, you are an old tailor who makes clothes, you must have seen a lot of cloth and satin, let me ask you, what is the quality of these silk horses of the Li family?"

Tailor Zhao is just an ordinary craftsman, where has he ever seen being interrogated like this by an official.

So when even his face turned pale with fright, he said bluntly: "Back to the official, the silk and satin fabrics that the Li family brought over today are silky and soft, and they are all of the best products. ”

"Oh, is it? What is the market price of a roll of cloth like this? Xiao Jingcong continued to ask quietly.

"Back to the official, a cloth like this, even if it is placed in a small city like Ningcheng County, it will cost dozens of taels of silver, and if it is in the state capital, the price may be even more expensive!"

"Listen, listen, this piece of cloth is actually going to sell for ten taels of silver, and the Li family bought three such pieces of cloth this morning, which is a full thirty taels of silver?"

Xiao Jingcong pointed at the Li family and scolded angrily: "Li family, your family's annual income is less than five taels of silver, but you should tell me, where do you have thirty taels of silver to buy these high-quality cloth?!" ”

"This ...... This ......"

When Li Shi heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and his mouth quibbled.

"The official is angry, the official is angry, you listen to my explanation......"

"Okay, I'll listen to your explanation, get up and talk." Xiao Jingcong suppressed the anger in her heart, raised her hand to help Li, and asked her to get up and speak.

Li stood up, but kept bowing his waist, not daring to look directly at Xiao Jingcong, and his eyes were also rolling rapidly.

Suddenly, as if she had an idea, she excused herself.

"Back to the official, I can't hide it, a few days ago when I was shopping for vegetables in the market, I accidentally picked up a money bag, opened it, and found that there were fifty taels of snowflake silver in it...... I was greedy for money, so I secretly took this money bag for myself, and did not return it to the one who lost it......"

"Fifty taels of silver for groceries in the market? Li, you're lying to the ghost! ”

As soon as Yan Zixi heard it, she could tell that the Li family was lying, if this money was so easy to pick up, everyone wouldn't have to work so hard, wouldn't it have been developed long ago if they just stared at the ground every day to pick up money.

"Hmph, Yan Zixi, I'm talking to the official, what are you talking about?"

"You ......"

Li glanced at Xiao Jingcong, and pretended to be aggrieved, looking like he was about to cry.

"Official, everything I said is the truth, you have to make decisions for me! This silver tael is indeed what I picked up, and if you arrest me because of this, I have no complaints! ”

As he spoke, Li took out a silk scarf to cover his face and pretended to cry.

"Okay, it's none of your business, go back, I'll investigate this matter separately."

"Thank you for the official's insight, the little girl will retire!" After speaking, Li respectfully saluted Xiao Jingcong, and then walked out.

When he passed by Yan Zixi's side, he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows and glared at Yan Zixi, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was provoking her.

Yan Zixi's teeth bulged out, she really wanted to tear this Li's mouth apart and let her talk nonsense here.

"Hey, Jingcong, you just let her go?"

Yan Zixi was annoyed, so she pulled Xiao Jingcong out and questioned her.

"Zixi, don't pull and pull, you've been seen, what kind of system has it become?" Xiao Jingcong still paid attention to her image, and reminded Yan Zixi in a low voice.

Yan Zixi didn't care at all, now she was angry, especially when she saw Li's arrogant and proud appearance, it made her feel even more unhappy.

"Xiao Jingcong, let me ask you, we finally found out here, and we also found out that the Li family has a high amount of money of unknown origin, but you didn't interrogate carefully, so you were confused by his nonsense, I really think highly of you!"

After speaking, Yan Zixi didn't forget to roll her eyes at Xiao Jingcong, and looked at him with disdain.

Xiao Jingcong was stunned for a moment, this has never been a woman who dared to talk to him like this since she was a child, Yan Zixi was the first in the world.

is so disrespectful to himself, it is estimated that only Yan Zixi can do it.

"I said Miss Yan, now I'm helping you investigate the case? You don't say thank you even if you don't say it, you still doubt my ability and question my approach? Xiao Jingcong said with some grievances in her heart.

Yan Zixi said disapprerovingly: "I'll take care of you!" You promised to help me check, and I didn't ask you again. Besides, I'm not questioning you, I just think you're too hasty......"

"Sloppy?! Then I don't know what our Miss Yan thinks? ”

Xiao Jingcong is smart and knows how to kick this ball back to Yan Zixi.

Yan Zixi was also stopped by Xiao Jingcong's question.

yes, what can you do even if you don't let the Li family go? Do you continue the cross-examination? A woman as smart and vicious as the Li family, no matter how much she interrogates her, she won't confide a word, or torture her and force her to say it?

That's impossible.

Originally, Xiao Jingcong's identity as an official was impersonated, relying on his own money and the relationship with the Cheng County Order to swindle around here, he had no right to use torture tools to force others.

Taking a step back, even if he really tortured the Li family to force him to find out the truth of the matter, wouldn't that be a trick of torture, no different from himself.

Yan Zixi grabbed her hair and complained: "Ahhh I can't think of ......."

Xiao Jingcong covered her mouth and said with a smile: "So, instead of this, it is better to let her go directly, which will make the Li family relax her vigilance, and maybe let her show herself." ”

When Yan Zixi heard Xiao Jingcong's words, her mind was a little overwhelmed.

"Jingcong, what do you mean by that?"

"Zixi, think about it, we have already interrogated the Li family just now, which can be regarded as knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, so the next step, what would you do if you were the Li family?"

"I'm Lee, what would I do......"

Yan Zixi circled Xiao Jingcong twice, muttered for a while, and finally reacted.

"If it were me, I would definitely find a place to hide the stolen money, and then find the mastermind behind the scenes to tell him, discuss countermeasures with him, and say that I have suspected myself and have to get out quickly."

"Clever!"

Xiao Jingcong praised it, and then asked, "Then what do you think we should do now?" ”

Yan Zixi's eyes lit up, "Of course I'm following the Li family!" Let's go, Jingcong! ”

Saying that, Yan Zixi took Xiao Jingcong's hand again, wanting to pull him away.

Xiao Jingcong pretended to cough twice, cleared his throat and said.

"Miss Zixi, it's not appropriate for men and women to kiss or not!"

When Yan Zixi saw it, she quickly let go of her hand, and said in her mouth: "Jingcong, don't get me wrong, I was excited just now, and I didn't mean to save your ......."

Xiao Jingcong smiled faintly, "Jingcong understands!" ”

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand...... Wait, you understand what you're still doing here, hurry up and follow the Li family, otherwise you'll lose it. ”

"Don't worry, you can't lose it!"

Xiao Jingcong is confident.

"Can't lose it, why? That Li is cunning and treacherous, and very cautious, and will not let us easily discover his whereabouts......"

Xiao Jingcong opened his hand and took out a sachet.

"What is this?" Yan Zixi said puzzledly: "It seems to be a ...... Sachet? ”

Xiao Jingcong nodded, "This is the sachet I carried with me, just now when I helped Li Shi, I deliberately applied some on his hands, with these fragrances, we can find Li all the way......"

"Wait...... Wait a minute...... I have a question. ”

Yan Zixi suddenly thought of something, raised her hand and asked, "That Xiao Jingcong, are you a dog?" Is the nose so effective? Just rub a little aroma and you can smell it? ”

Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, and explained in his mouth: "I have been weak and sick since I was a child, this sachet contains all kinds of medicinal herbs, the smell is relatively unique, unique in the world, I will never smell wrong!" ”

"Well, it's a dog...... But you said that you are young and sickly, I didn't see it, just now when you taught those Wu family members, you didn't breathe......"
