Zhao Xin babbled a little, Zhao Yan sounded angry and funny, and finally had to interrupt: "Dad, things haven't come to this point yet, maybe there is a turnaround, you tell me the whole thing first." ”

Zhao Xin's old face turned red, and he didn't know how to explain the aftermath, so he said these words to Zhao Yan in one go, maybe he listened to the head of the cell talk about the power of Dongchang and what he did on weekdays.

The incident happened in the Dexin Restaurant, Zhao Xin was talking to a businessman from other places at the time, Wu De and his entourage of three people entered the restaurant with a big grin, a dress is particularly eye-catching, especially with a sword on his waist, the foreign businessman has seen the world in the north and south, and his face changed color at the moment, he knows that the place where the people from the East Factory are is a place of right and wrong, so he shirked his physical discomfort and slipped on the soles of his feet.

After Zhao Xin sent the merchant away, he felt a pity when he looked at the table full of untouched wine and food, so he sat down alone and feasted, during which he heard that the three Dongchang fans were looking for the restaurant shopkeeper to inquire about Taoyuan Bookstore, Zhao Xin secretly paid attention, he knew that Li Yun printed and sold books through Taoyuan Bookstore, and also knew that the book was written by his son Zhao Yan, so he wanted to hear the meaning of these three Dongchang fans.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't know about the Taoyuan Bookstore, nor did he know the origin of the three people in front of him, but looking at his words and deeds, with the shopkeeper's decades of experience, he could naturally see that the three of them were not small, and they should have a lot to do with the government, otherwise how could they dare to carry a knife and sword with great fanfare, so he asked Xiao Er to go to the street and call a merchant who walked the streets and alleys.

The merchant walked the streets and alleys in the city to sell goods all day long, so he naturally knew the location of Taoyuan Bookstore, and after pointing out the road for the three people in Dongchang, Wu De asked again: "Do you know "The Legend of the White Snake"? ”

The merchant replied: "I know, the villain also bought a few books from Taoyuan Bookstore to sell, but none of us are illiterate, and we can't understand when we buy them, but there are a few storytellers who buy them, and the villain will listen to a paragraph when he is free, which is really interesting." ”

Wu De asked again: "Then do you know who wrote this "The Legend of the White Snake"?" ”

The merchant replied: "The villain heard a sentence from the shopkeeper of Taoyuan Bookstore, it seems to have come from the house of the old man of Xinke Jinshi. People say that those who can be admitted to the Jinshi are the stars in the sky, and this kind of miscellaneous book will naturally not be written by the Jinshi master, it should be that the people around the Jinshi master are contaminated with fairy energy, although they can't be like the Jinshi master to get fame and become a big official, but it should be easy to write some such miscellaneous books. ”

Wu De glanced at the merchant, scolded the fool in his heart, and lost interest in continuing to interrogate, and after taking out a few copper coins and sending the merchant away, he said to the two subordinates: "There is no place to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, no matter who wrote this "The Legend of the White Snake", it must have something to do with that new science and technology scholar, and we will go directly to his house to find him later." ”

A Dongchang fan hesitated: "After all, he is a jinshi, and he is also an official, will it be a little inappropriate for us to go directly to the door to ask for someone?" ”

Before Wu De could speak, another fan had already opened his mouth and said: "I'm afraid of a bird, whether he is a jinshi or a lifter, our Dongchang is not even afraid of the six books, can you be afraid of him a little jinshi?" ”

Zhao Xin couldn't sit down anymore when he heard this, he got up and came to the front half curiously and half tentatively asked, "Three, dare to ask you if you are looking for a new science and technology scholar?" ”

A fanzi glanced at Zhao Xin with squinted eyes, and said angrily: "What are you, don't bother us to block our head to eat, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Zhao Xin has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and now he is in the prime of life, and his blood is naturally not lacking, but since he was in charge of the workshop, his kung fu to cultivate qi has improved a lot, and the people in front of him are not inferior, but he can still hold back his anger, and said with a forced smile: "Don't dare to disturb, it's just that the new science and technology jinshi is related to the next, if there is anything useful, the three of them will tell me directly." ”

Wu De glanced up at Zhao Xin at this time, he drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "What is your relationship with Xinke Jinshi?" ”

Zhao Xin replied: "That's a dog." ”

"Hahaha......" Wu De laughed, and then said: "It's really dozing off someone to send a pillow, since you and the new science and technology are a family, then take us on a trip." ”

As he spoke, Wu De and his two subordinates made a look, and the two fans understood, and immediately got up and held Zhao Xin on the left and right, and wanted to take him out.

Zhao Xin poured himself a few glasses of wine, although he didn't drink too much, but he also had some smoke, at this time, these three people held themselves hostage indiscriminately, Zhao Xinzhong had already concluded that they were not good goods, and immediately rebelled.

Although the two fans have practiced for a few days, they are not Zhao Xin's opponents, and they are pushed and pulled by them, and they all sit on the ground under the instability.

Wu De saw that the two subordinates were ugly, and he was very angry in his heart, and he threw himself at Zhao Xin with a loud shout, but he suddenly leaned over and fell to the ground halfway, foaming at the mouth and his body was constantly twitching.

The two fans were shocked when they saw this, and they didn't care about going to Zhao Xin for trouble, but turned Wu De over and lay on his back, one of them reached out in a panic to pinch Wu De's people, and the other drew his knife out of the sheath, looked at Zhao Xin vigilantly, and shouted: "What kind of demon magic did you use?" What's wrong with you blocking us? ”

Zhao Xin was also stunned, he hadn't touched Wu De at all, and naturally he didn't know any demon methods, thinking about it, he could only judge that this person should be sick, so he kindly reminded: "Does this person have any old diseases?" You'd better take him to the doctor quickly. ”

After being reminded by Zhao Xinyi, the two fans suddenly realized, but they just looked at Wu De again, and after convulsions twice, they suddenly lost their breath.

A fan reached out to Wu De's nose and tried it, and then said to his companion with a pale face: "It's out of breath......"

The two looked at each other, and after their eyes met for a moment, they seemed to have a tacit understanding, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Zhao Xin, and shouted: "Killing pays for life, you kill us to block the head, accept your life." ”

The two of them held knives in their hands, and the blade Huo Huo slashed at Zhao Xin, completely in a desperate posture.

Zhao Xin naturally wouldn't sit still, he regretted why he didn't run just now, but at this time, in order to survive, he could only rush left and right, dodging in embarrassment.

After Zhao Xinjing subdued the two of them one by one at the right time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant had already led several officials into the restaurant panting.

In the prison, after Zhao Xin finished speaking, Zhao Yan asked a few more questions, and finally let out a sigh of relief, and comforted Zhao Xin with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, you didn't kill the person, so many people saw it at that time, Li Zhizhou will judge impartially." ”

Zhao Xin was comforted by Zhao Yan, and his mind was a lot calmer, and after Zhao Yan ran to the side to ask several other witnesses, Zhao Xin fell asleep in a daze while sitting on the wall, there is only one life, if it is not a last resort, no one will not cherish it.

After coming out of the prison, the sky was already dark, and although Zhao Yan's face was calm, there was a trace of worry hidden in his eyes.

Although everyone said that Zhao Xin didn't even touch the deceased, it was the head of the East Factory who died. For the sake of their own face, they will never hesitate to say that the black is white and the dead are alive.

It's just that even if the case is made into an iron case, with the power of the East Factory, it will only be a matter of minutes to overturn the case.

Zhao Yan was worried, but he still took Li Er out of the city in a hurry, invited Dr. Qian from Jiuzhou Town to the city, and asked Li Yan of Zhizhou to examine Wu De's body overnight.

As expected, judging from the many years of experience of Dr. Qian and his servants, the cause of Wu De's death was by no means beaten to death, but by suffocation.

He gave the most authoritative explanation: Wu De suffered from epilepsy before, and he may not be visible in front of others because of his face, and he happened to be sick when he was arguing with Zhao Xin in the restaurant, and as a result, his two subordinates mistreated Wu De, who was unconscious, lay on his back on the ground, causing saliva to block his throat, and finally suffocated to death.

That night, Zhao Yan returned home, comforted his stepmother Yan Ruyu and Li Yun again, and finally lay on the bed and thought for half a night, and then fell asleep with deep worry.

Early the next morning, the housekeeper Wang An woke Zhao Yan up from his sleep, plus Li Er, the master and servant rushed to the door of the state government with the morning dew all over their bodies, and waited for more than half an hour.

Zhao Yan's face was solemn, and he suddenly stopped as the crowd walked a few steps inside, and when there were only three masters and servants left, he whispered to the housekeeper Wang An to confirm again: "After you went last night, they really didn't let go at all?" ”

Wang An nodded and responded: "A full three thousand taels of silver, several boxes are placed in front of him, although the person has been staring, but he will not let go, not to say that the person was killed by the master." ”

"Only one person?" Zhao Yan's eyes widened, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Wang An nodded again: "Li Er went with me, we looked inside and out several times, and there was indeed only one person. I asked the other person where he had gone, and the man just sneered and didn't speak. ”

Li Yan sat in the hall in official clothes, his eyes slightly closed, and the two rows of officials under the hall were lined up with water and fire sticks, full of posture.

Glancing at Zhao Yan in the crowd, Li Yan's face remained unchanged and he patted the hall in shock, and said, "Bring the plaintiff and the defendant in this case to the court." ”

Everything is developing like the script in Zhao Yan's heart, there are many witnesses to prove that Zhao Xin did not directly deal with the deceased Wu De, and Zhao Xin did not abuse and provoke the deceased.

The crowd, including Zhao Xin, breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Zhao Yan had a smile on his face, and looked at Li Yan in the hall with gratitude, although he was still a little worried in his heart, but it was not good to show it at this time.
