Chapter 372: The Little Shopkeeper Zuo

Li Rizhi glanced at the people around him, and said: "There must be my teacher in the threesome, the small hole in the pigsty, you all go in and take a look, the official doesn't know him, but maybe some of you know." ”

The people who came with him went in one by one to see, but whether it was the errand servant, the Huang family or the people of the family, they didn't know what this small hole was for, and even the people of the Zuo family didn't even know that there was such a small hole in his pigsty, and they were all very surprised!

I don't know what this small hole does, but Li Rizhi doesn't force it, maybe this small hole has nothing to do with the whole case, it's also possible.

He then deduced the case and walked to the chicken coop, where the Zuo family raised a lot of chickens, but their family did not often eat chickens, because the main purpose of raising chickens was to collect eggs.

Eggs are a good thing, you can sell them in the market for money, the Zuo family has a lot of chickens, and the eggs laid by these chickens are a lot of income!

Even if the Zuo family's economic situation is relatively good, they can't ignore such an income.

Li Rizhi walked to the side of the chicken coop and looked at the chicken coops, and saw that the chicken coops had no traces of destruction, but at that time he heard Zuo Sanniang say that four big hens had been lost at home.

Li Rizhi said: "It seems that he is a good hand at stealing chickens, but since they will kidnap Huang Meiyu, why do they want to steal chickens?"

For kidnapping hostages and asking for ransom, even if it is four big hens, it can only be regarded as a small profit, how can there be a thief in this world when he is doing something important, but also steal chickens, it is really greedy and unreasonable! ”

Then Li Rizhi was in the courtyard of the Zuo family's house again, and began to look for clues, but he found nothing, without any clues, as if the two thieves who entered the Zuo family from outside the fence courtyard only walked in the fence yard once, and did not enter the back house of the Zuo family at all.

Li Rizhi felt that this case was very tricky, if on the surface, two stupid chicken thieves made a temporary cameo appearance as kidnappers, then no matter what, they would have left traces, but they left no trace except for the footprints on the pigsty wall.

If they weren't stupid chicken thieves, then what did they mean by that little fish they dug in the pigsty?

A character who can dig such a small hole, even if he is not a thief, will be a very good character to do something else, and he must be a lot stronger than ordinary people, but when they tie up people, why do they steal chickens?

The different manifestations of these two thieves are simply illogical and unreasonable.

Unless there is a circumstance, that is, these two thieves are not in a gang, but didn't that Shao Shan say, not only are the thieves not two, but also three, and they escaped together.

Li Rizhi thought about it for a long time, only feeling dizzy and dizzy, every time he deduced to a place, he came to a conclusion that he had no clue, and there was no way to link the information he got together.

Just when he felt embarrassed, an errand came to report, saying that he was from Yanzhou, the shopkeeper of Zuotang's pawnshop, a middle-aged man named Zuo Baoping.

Zuo Li Chang heard it next to him, and hurriedly said to Li Rizhi: "Lord County Order, this Zuo Baoping shopkeeper is my distant relative, and my family calls him Zuo Xiao's shopkeeper." ”

Li Rizhi said: "Since he has come, let him in, it just so happens that the official has something to ask him." ”

The messenger brought Zuo Baoping in, Zuo Baoping was very polite, and after coming in, he gave Li Rizhi a big salute, saying that he had admired the name for a long time, like thunder, and such flattery spewed out as if he didn't want money.

Li Rizhi asked Zuo Baoping: "Your name is Zuo Baoping, right?" The pawnshop you opened in Yanzhou, once hired a guy, who is this official referring to, you must also know that this guy has committed a crime now, and there are witnesses to prove that it is Huang Meiyu, the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family who he kidnapped, so what do you have to say now? ”

Zuo Baoping is in his thirties, nearly forty years old, in the prime of life, and he has been in the pawnshop for a long time, so he is naturally very measured in receiving people and things.

Of course, there is a reason why he threw down his business from Yanzhou and rushed over, and this reason is very fatal.

Just when the case of the previous assassin Zhen Meng broke out, his father Zuo Lao Shopkeeper died in that case, and his father Zuo Lao Shopkeeper died in vain, which means that no one wanted to avenge his father at all, not even he dared to think about it!

No matter how much his family opens a pawnshop, no matter how rich he is, he is a common man after all, and he can't be compared with an official, the case involves the affairs of officialdom, his father is dead and dies, and dying in vain is dying in vain, if he dares to talk a lot to find trouble, then it is estimated that he will also die!

The old shopkeeper Zuo is not innocent, he helped Zhen Mengde sell the stolen goods before he died, and he sold a lot, it is precisely because the investment is too large, so when he finds that there is an abnormality, the old shopkeeper Zuo will join several other pawnshop shopkeepers to find Zhen Mengde, and he was slaughtered by Zhen Mengde.

And Zhen Mengde's case was suppressed, it was related to the Zen Sealing Ceremony, and it was related to the face of Empress Wu, and no one dared to talk about this case in the open.

It's not easy to be an official, everyone is raised by their parents, it's not easy to live, and no one can offend the big officials in Chang'an for a few pawnshop owners who broke the law.

So no one mentioned this case at all, the few dead pawnshop shopkeepers died when they died, if anyone didn't open their eyes and dared to go to the government to chirp, then it was not the pawnshop shopkeeper who died, and his whole family had to die.

Zuo Baoping doesn't care about how to do things in other pawnshops, he only cares about his own business, his father Zuo Lao shopkeeper died unclearly, but he didn't dare to pursue it, so he was able to keep the family safe.

But this incident, after all, left an indelible impression on his heart, which made him naturally have a dislike for the government, and this disgust evolved into hatred over time.

But no matter how much he hates the government, he must also accept his fate, unless he trains his son or grandson to become an official, otherwise, then he can only grit his teeth and hate in his own home, and when he goes out, he has to salute and greet the officials with a smile, this is the reality!

When he learned that the pawnshop guy he had fired a few days ago had committed a crime, he was stunned, as long as anything involved the government and the lawsuit, it would be fine.

Therefore, as soon as Zuo Baoping was summoned, he immediately threw away his business and rushed from Yanzhou to Qianfeng County.

He ran over to help solve the case and report the situation to the county order, not because he had a sense of justice, nor did he want to take care of Zuo Laocai, a distant relative, but for himself.

Zuo Baoping knows very well that if he wants to prevent the lawsuit from implicating himself, then what he has to do is to clear up immediately, and not let himself be involved in the whirlpool of the lawsuit.

Of course, what Zuo Baoping thinks, Li Rizhi doesn't know, and he doesn't need to know, as long as Zuo Baoping can cooperate and help him find the pawnshop guy, then everything will be fine, and he will even give Zuo Baoping some rewards, as an official of Datang, he has done a very good job.
