When Yang Huairen stood by and listened to the grudges and disputes between a few people and the dead Zhang Laohu, he became more and more aware of what kind of character this Zhang Tiger was. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I am Liu Ergou, a pig farmer in Nanhuaishu Village outside the city, on behalf of all the dolphin households in our village, I came to ask the Zhang family for money for big fat pigs, and in the first three months, Zhang Laohu raised a total of eight big fat pigs from our village, and owed us a total of 18 yuan and 370 yuan."

The scribe recorded his name, place of origin, and address, and then asked, "You said that he owes you money to sell pigs, can you prove it?" ”

Liu Ergou took out a stack of straw paper, and drew a pig's head on each piece of straw paper, and wrote a number on it, and then there was a red handprint on that number.

Thinking that this should be Zhang Laohu from the people to mention the pig, to leave the voucher for the money to the people, because of the lack of books, so the use of the pig's head, according to the handprint.

This method was also common among illiterate traders in ancient times, and the scribe often went to the countryside to collect taxes, and he also knew Liu Ergou, a pig farmer, so he did not doubt the validity of these bills, and asked him to take the bills to the back to collect the money.

Liu Ergou saw that he could get the pig money, so he happily went to get the money, and when he went out, he bragged to a few acquaintances.

"On weekdays, I ask Zhang Laohu for pig money, it's called a lot of effort, most of them will drag on for a year and a half, and I have to give a lot less every time, but I didn't expect that now that he is dead, he will come back with a lot of money from selling pigs, and I knew that Liu Ergou would have slaughtered the bully who killed this day."

An old man hurriedly stopped him from continuing to brag, "Hey, you don't dare to talk nonsense." I heard that a senior official from the capital is investigating this murder case today, so be careful that they arrest you and go to the board. ”

Liu Ergou said with a smile: "Mu Shi, anyway, I didn't kill people, hehe......"

Yang Huairen pouted and smiled, like Liu Ergou, it should be screened out, judging from his speech and demeanor, he doesn't look like a person who can kill the killer because Zhang Laohu owes him money for selling pigs.

Of course, things are not so absolute, Yang Huairen once watched the news in his later life and saw a strange case, two neighbors, because of the common water and electricity bills in the corridor, they were not clear, and a few yuan of money led to killing people out of resentment.

Therefore, it is not completely impossible for Liu Ergou, who raised pigs, to shorten his money for selling pigs for dozens of dollars for Zhang Laohu, and hold a grudge for a long time.

It's just that compared with the meticulousness of the murderer who did not leave any directional clues when he committed the crime, as well as the criminal manifestations of great hatred such as excessive killing, it is indeed unlikely that this Liu Ergou is the murderer, so Yang Huairen will only list him as a low-level suspect.

The next few are mostly in a similar situation, Zhang Laohu relied on his own martial arts skills, and gathered many local ruffians as accomplices, which can be said to be a lot of evil in Qizhou City.

And what is infuriating is that Zhang Laohu specializes in bullying the weak, and he never provokes the rich and powerful, but bullies the poor people.

Like Ke Xiaochuan's sister Ke Xiaoxiao, who set up a wonton stall in the West Market to make some hard-earned money, she is a typical target of bullying by Zhang Laohu, he has not been eating and drinking for nothing for a day, which vendor in the West Market has not been bullied by him?

The hawkers have no money and no power, and they can only let him eat and drink for nothing, and dare not speak out. Someone once reported to the official, hoping that the government would come forward to punish Zhang Laohu.

It's a pity that Xie Lao'er, a confused parent official, always ignores it when he hears that it is such a trivial matter, and sends these complainants away, as long as it is not murder and arson, he pretends to be deaf and blind, and hides quietly within the high walls of his Qizhou Yamen.

Zhizhou doesn't care, and those petty officials under him won't offend a bully to take care of this kind of idle business.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Laohu is even more unscrupulous and domineering in the West Market.

Yang Huairen listened for a while, most of the people who came to collect debts were these people asking for some arrears of hundreds of tens of yuan, and most of them had no evidence, but they could guarantee each other, and most of the scribes knew that what they said was true, so they also met their requirements to get their hard-earned money back.

There are too many people with such a low level of suspicion, and in Yang Huairen's opinion, these people do not look like people who can premeditate for a long time and then commit such a thing as murder.

The other part belonged to Zhang Laohu and his men who had been injured and came to ask for medical expenses.

This kind of person may be a little dissatisfied with Zhang Laohu's usual practices, and has resisted, or those who have reported to the official have been hated by Zhang Laohu, so he retaliated.

If you want to talk about hatred, this kind of person should be a lot more than the person who owes money, this part of the people should be included in the ranks of intermediate suspects, Yang Huairen will ask the arresters to conduct a background investigation of these people as soon as possible, to see if there is any unknown greater grudge between them and Zhang Laohu in addition to the superficial things.

And such a high level of hatred as the hatred of killing the father and taking the wife, there is really no such thing as nearly 300 people, it seems that Zhang Laohu is not a fool, he has figured out the thoughts of the state officials, so he does not do the big evil, the small evil continues, and the teeth hated by the people itch, but he can't find a reason to really do the murder.

Yang Huairen watched the scribes record so many people, but he really couldn't find a suspect who could kill someone.

When he was running out of options, he happened to hear several people in the crowd arguing.

"Hey, Tian Langzhong, we're all here to ask for accounts, do we want to come first and come first? You were obviously behind the sprinkler house just now, why did you sneak to the front of the sprinkler house when I went to the toilet? ”

A bearded fat man in his early thirties dragged a skinny man in his fifties, and said very dissatisfied.

Lang Zhong, surnamed Tian, unceremoniously shook off the fat man's hand pulling his clothes, looked at him with slanted eyes and said, "Carpenter Sun, this is your unreasonableness, who told you to go to the toilet?"

Besides, Zhang Laohu owes you a lot of money? Didn't you tear down the walls of your yard? But two or three hundred dollars, do you know how much money he owes my family hospital for diagnosis and medicine? Twenty runs! ”

Carpenter Sun also had to argue, and behind him, a woman in her forties, but dressed in fancy clothes, threw a flattering look at Tian Langzhong and scolded: "Roar, what Tian Langzhong means in this sentence is that Zhang Laohu's dead ghost owes more money to which family, so he should be at the front?"

According to this, I should be in front of you Tian Langzhong when I wear Jinhua, Zhang Laohu, that dead ghost has been in our family's Cuihong Courtyard for almost a whole year, but there is half a year of Su Feng's capital has not been given, how much silver do you calculate? ”
