Huazhi County's concubine Feng's personal girl is called Cuizhu, she looks extraordinary, and she looks a little shrewd, in Zhong Hao's eyes, she is even more beautiful than Huazhi County's concubine Feng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Hao couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that this Feng clan is not a very smart person. The so-called marrying a concubine and marrying sex, Huazhi County marrying you is to make you beautiful, you are accompanied by such a beautiful maid by your side, how to set off your appearance. In Zhong Hao's opinion, this should be a more mediocre posture and a less shrewd one.

Every time Huazhi County went to Feng's place, he saw such a beautiful and shrewd maid, and he was afraid that something would happen sooner or later. In contrast, Mrs. Qi is much smarter, with an ordinary-looking, but shrewd and well-behaved maid who knows how to measure herself, she will not pose any threat to her, but will give her extra points on the contrary.

Of course, these are other people's affairs, and Zhong Hao has no way to put his beak, what he cares about is this case, and it has nothing to do with these family affairs, so naturally he won't say more and ask more!

After Cuizhu came in, he bowed to the officials in the room very obediently.

Zhong Hao thought that he didn't have to be polite, and then asked Cuizhu and said, "I heard that your master loves Aunt Feng very much, why did he stay in Mrs. Qi's room last night." ”

Cuizhu hesitated for a moment, and replied a little nervously: "Most of the people stay in Aunt Feng's room on weekdays, but yesterday the master seemed to have some things to discuss with his wife, so he stayed in his wife's room." ”

Zhong Hao saw that Cuizhu was very nervous, and said very gently at the moment: "I'm just asking casually, you don't have to be nervous." Do you usually go to the Buddha hall at all times? ”

Cuizhu didn't dare to hide it, and said very seriously: "Yes, I will go at this hour every day, and the same is true early this morning." They all recited the Buddha first, and then went to breakfast. ”

Zhong Hao asked again, "Is there anyone else in your courtyard who likes to worship Buddha?" ”

Cuizhu thought for a while and said, "Mr. Dong in the account room! It is said that Mr. Dong is a distant relative of his wife, and usually the lord and his wife treat him very well in the house, and this Mr. Dong is also a good Buddha, so sometimes he will visit Buddhism with his wife in the Buddhist hall. ”

Zhong Hao said: "Oh? Doesn't your master love Buddhism? ”

Cuizhu shook his head and said: "The master is a two-list jinshi, full of poetry and books, often said that there are only saints in this world, she doesn't believe in any strange powers, so she is not keen on participating in Buddhism." However, his wife visited the Buddha, and he never objected. ”

Zhong Hao thought in his heart, it's strange to oppose it, this lady Qi is discouraged and lazy to other spiritual sustenance because she has lost her favor, this Huazhi County is opposed, isn't it a stone to shoot herself in the foot.

Zhong Hao asked, "Who is Mr. Dong in the account room?" ”

Speaking of Mr. Dong, Cuizhu's eyes lit up, obviously he had a very good impression of Mr. Dong, and praised: "Mr. Dong is gentle and elegant, personable, he is a scholar, and it is said that he also went to Tokyo to participate in the provincial examination. ”

Zhong Hao nodded and said, "Cuizhu, you just answered very well, go down and call Mr. Dong in." ”

………………

After a while, Dong Wenqing came in, and I have to say that this Mr. Dong is indeed extraordinary, personable, and very calm and calm when he enters the house, and he is very chic and courteous to everyone in the house.

Zhong Hao smiled slightly and asked, "Has Mr. Dong participated in the provincial examination?" ”

Mr. Dong arched his hand and said: "In Xia Bucai, in the sixth year of Qingli Bingxu Branch and the first year of Huangyou Jichou Branch, they all passed the solution test and were able to go to Tokyo twice to participate in the provincial examination. It's a pity that I have limited learning, so I took the provincial exam twice, but I failed to win! ”

"Since Mr. Dong is a scholar and has passed the solution test twice, which can be regarded as a small achievement, why did he condescend to work as an accountant in the Huazhi County Government?"

"I'm ashamed that I've been studying hard all these years, because I haven't had much savings! Last year, in the autumn of the previous year, he took the solution test and failed to pass, and he had no livelihood for a while, so because he was a distant relative of Mrs. Qi in Xia, he joined the Huazhi County Government as a bookkeeper. Moreover, Huazhi County is very sincere in staying in the next, and does not feel condescending in the next. Besides, my bookkeeper is only temporary, and I will still participate in the scientific examination in the future! ”

"So, Mr. Dong and Mrs. Qi have a good relationship?"

When Dong Wenqing heard Zhong Hao ask him if his relationship with Mrs. Qi was good, a trace of undetectable panic flashed on his face, and then a trace of obvious annoyance flashed on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and replied: "Zai Xia and Mrs. Qi are relatives, and the natural relationship is also excellent!" ”

Zhong Hao has been carefully observing Dong Wenqing's expression, and the trace of panic that flashed on Dong Wenqing's face, although it was fleeting, was captured by Zhong Hao. Zhong Hao pondered for a moment and asked directly: "What is Mr. Dong doing during the period from the third quarter of Yinzheng to the second quarter of the first month of Mao today?" ”

This question was very polite, and he asked this sentence bluntly, in the eyes of Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant, it was obvious that Zhong Hao was suspicious and felt that this Mr. Dong was very suspicious.

Cao County Lieutenant couldn't help frowning secretly when he heard this, no matter what, Dong Wenqing is also a scholar with some status, so straight to the point, it is really embarrassing. This Dong Wenqing used to help the counselor of Huazhi County with some official duties, and he was also familiar with Cao County. However, this Zhong Tongju is a Shangguan after all, and even if Lieutenant Cao is quite unhappy with Dong Wenqing, he will naturally not speak out at this time.

Dong Wenqing listened to Zhong Hao's culture, but quickly regained his calmness when he first came in, if it weren't for his fleeting panic just now Zhong Hao saw it clearly, he would probably suspect that he was dazzled. I saw Dong Wenqing for a long time, looking not annoyed or angry, and said, "I was sleeping at the time." ”

"Can anyone prove it?" Zhong Hao continued to ask.

Dong Wenqing was not nervous, and chuckled: "Proof?" I'm afraid that there is no, in the back compartment of the courtyard, close to the Buddhist hall, where it is very quiet, and there is basically no one passing by, so I am afraid that it is difficult to find someone to prove. ”

Zhong Hao frowned and said slowly, "So...... Where was Mr. Dong when Mrs. Qi found out that Huazhi County was killed? ”

Dong Wenqing said calmly: "At that time, I heard the movement outside, so I got up and ran to Dong Weng's bedroom, and I saw Dong Weng's ......" Dong Wenqing's face began to become a little more depressed, and he said very sadly: "Dong Weng stayed in Xia Grace like a mountain, but I didn't expect to be given by the Western Xia spies...... It's a bad thing! ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Zhong Hao's eyes, and he said, "How did Mr. Dong know that Huazhi County was killed by Western Xia spies?" ”

Dong Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bitter face: "It is also speculated by the county lieutenant Cao and the group of fast arresters. However, when Dong Weng led people to capture the group of Western Xia spies, he said that he did not catch all of them that time, and there were still fish that slipped through the net, and he hated it deeply. Dong Weng ordered all these Western Xia spies to be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and these Western Xia spies hated Dong Weng to the core, and it was possible to assassinate them all the time. Therefore, I think that Cao County's speculation is also very possible. Dong Wenqing said, a little choked.

Seeing Dong Wenqing's grief-stricken appearance, Cao County Lieutenant knew that Dong Wenqing was touched when he talked about Huazhi County, and he couldn't speak, so he hurriedly made a round and said to Dong Wenqing: "Wentao rest assured, this official and Huazhi County are the same officials, and the murderer who killed Huazhi County will be found out sooner or later." Wen Tao also wants to mourn, and Zhong Tong's verdict is also eager to solve the case, some words are heavier, Wen Tao shouldn't care too much! "Wen Tao is Dong Wenqing's cousin, he is also a small accomplished scholar, he used to work with the counselor of Huazhi County in the county office, and he is also familiar with Cao County Lieutenant, and he is called by Cao County Lieutenant, but he is very close.

Dong Wenqing's throat rolled a few times before he sighed and said, "Yes, Shaoyin, the student understands." ”

Lieutenant Cao asked Zhong Hao again if he had anything else to ask, and when he saw Zhong Hao waving his hand to signal that he was gone, he said to Dong Wenqing kindly: "Okay, Wen Tao can go." ”

Dong Wenqing took a deep look and said: "Then the adult and the young Yin will be sentenced, and the student will leave first." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, and just after walking a few steps, Zhong Hao suddenly said behind him: "Mr. Dong, don't hide it, the person who killed your family Dongweng was not a Western Xia spy at all, and the murderer was someone from this mansion." ”

Dong Wenqing listened to Zhong Hao's words, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then quickly regained his composure, glanced back at Zhong Hao, and quickly showed a very sincere look, and said: "Then there is Lao Zhongtong to help find out the culprit as soon as possible, so as to comfort Dong Weng's spirit in the sky, and I am grateful." ”

After that, Dong Wenqing Shi Ran went.

In the end, Zhong Hao politely asked the wife Qi and the concubine Feng of Huazhi County a few words.

Mrs. Qi is in her thirties, looking like a young woman with still charm, and her eyes are full of leanness. Feng is a small jasper, not too outstanding, but very gentle.

Seeing this Feng's appearance and temperament, Zhong Hao seemed to understand something. In Zhong Hao's opinion, this Huazhi County must like Feng's gentle temperament, not just for her appearance, so it can be inferred that Mrs. Qi's temperament is a little domineering.

After Zhong Hao asked a few words politely, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked Mrs. Qi, "Mrs. Qi has a good relationship with Mr. Dong, right?" ”

Originally, Zhong Hao had been asking her very politely, but suddenly such a sentence appeared, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then a trace of panic flashed.

Obviously, although she is very shrewd, she is a woman after all, and her mental quality is still a little worse than Dong Wenqing, and Zhong Hao accurately captured these details. Mrs. Qi settled down, and then pretended to be casual and said: "We are relatives, so naturally we are closer!" ”

Zhong Hao smiled and said: "Oh, that's the case, I'm presumptuous, Madame's forgiveness!" ”

Zhong Hao motioned for himself to finish asking, and asked Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant to send the two out very politely.

After the interrogation, Xu Tuiguan and Cao County Lieutenant looked at Zhong Hao expectantly, hoping that Zhong Hao would talk about his conclusions.

"Based on the official's speculation, this case was not done by Western Xia spies!" After Zhong Hao finished speaking, he quickly scrutinized it again in his heart, and after finding that there were no loopholes in his inference, he took a deep breath and said to Xu Tuiguan and Cao County: "And this official has already determined who the murderer is and what happened to the case!" ”

………………

The cadres and people in the Huazhi County Court were all standing in the inner courtyard at this time, and the inner courtyard was silent, obviously everyone knew that the county lord was going to announce the results of the investigation.

Mrs. Qi had a tense face, slightly dissatisfied, obviously she felt that Zhong Hao was a little dissatisfied with letting her stand with a group of subordinates.

Huazhi County's concubine Feng Shi seemed a little submissive and hung her head silently.

Cuiyun and Cuizhu stood behind their respective mothers, feeling a little curious, after all, they were ignorant of age, but they didn't show anything, just looked at Zhong Hao curiously.

Dong Wenqing, the account office, stood with his hands in his hands, without the slightest expression on his face.

The rest of the people, each with their own thoughts, or a little frightened, or try to be as open as possible.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lieutenant Cao signaled Zhong Hao to start.

Zhong Hao stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, observing the expressions of everyone in the courtyard.

Zhong Hao then smiled faintly at Feng Shi, the concubine of Huazhi County, and said, "The young lady is weak, do you want to ask someone to move a seat to rest for a while?" ”

"Ah......" Feng Shi couldn't think of what Zhong Hao was going to say these thoughtful words, his cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, and he said sneeringly: "The slave family is okay, it's not too tired, and it doesn't hurt to stand for a while." ”

"Hmph", when the Qi family heard Zhong Hao call the concubine Feng as the young lady, he couldn't help but snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction. Obviously, in her opinion, she is the lady who is marrying Ming Media, and Feng is just a concubine to put it bluntly, where can she be the word young lady?!

Besides, Zhong Hao didn't give himself a seat for the head of the house, but asked someone to move a seat for a concubine, how could it be unreasonable? !

But then, Qi Shi seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and glanced at Zhong Hao with a gloomy face, and then stopped speaking.

Zhong Hao looked at Mrs. Qi's expression and smiled. Then he looked at the sun and saw that the sun was already hanging in the air, and it was about the hour, and he smiled and said, "It's not too early, and this official won't sell the guanzi." Now I call everyone out together in order to come up with the murderer who killed Huazhi County. ”

Zhong Hao paused for a moment, and then continued: "But if you want to find out the culprit, you have to take it slowly, are you willing to listen to it slowly?" ”

Zhong Hao ignored everyone's different expressions, paced slowly with his hands in his hands, and then looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, and said with a long sigh: "The cause and effect of this incident is really incredible!" But first of all, I can tell everyone for sure that this is not the work of Western Xia spies. ”

Zhong Hao's performance at this time was very stylish, and he completely regarded himself as a great detective. Zhong Hao really didn't expect that he would rely on his half-baked level of reasoning and investigation, and now he had the opportunity to crack a big case of assassinating the magistrate, and he couldn't help but be a little excited, it was not surprising that this was an exaggeration.

After listening to Zhong Hao's words, everyone in the courtyard was silent, although they had their own thoughts, they all stared at Zhong Hao's self-care performance, and they all wanted to hear the results of the assassination of the magistrate he had come up with.
