Chapter 19: Why Guo Wang voluntarily pleaded guilty
"Childe, this is the shop that Xiao mentioned to you. Originally, it was an antique calligraphy and painting, but now it has been completely emptied. Li Yin said to Li Ke, who was wearing civilian clothes.
Li Ke looked at the shop in front of him, with a total of three floors. Each floor can reach an area of more than 200 square meters.
Li Ke did not walk into this shop, but looked at several shops around this shop. Then he took Li Yin into a shop opposite.
This shop is in the silk business, and when he saw Li Ke wearing a gorgeous costume, he knew that he was definitely a person with status. The shopkeeper personally greeted him and let Li Ke into the silk village.
"This guest officer, please, what kind of materials are needed, the small shop definitely has everything." The shopkeeper of the silk village said to Li Ke with a smile on his face.
Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "Don't be busy, I want to ask you where the shopkeeper Guo of Jubaozhai lives opposite." ”
"I am a distant relative of his, and I have come to him on purpose. But now his shop is closed for sale. So I would like to ask you where his family lives. ”
"It's really not the right time for this boy to come, if you came half a month earlier. At that time, you can still see Guo's shopkeeper. But now I'm afraid it's better not to see it. The shopkeeper of the silk village said with a sigh.
"Why does the shopkeeper say that, could it be that something happened to my cousin's house?" Li Ke asked with a nervous expression.
"Guo's shopkeeper has been involved in a life lawsuit, and now he has been imprisoned. Just wait for the autumn queen to open the knife and behead. The shopkeeper of the silk village said with a regretful expression.
"I heard from my mother that my cousin was a very charitable person and never had a casual argument with others. Why is there a life lawsuit? Li Ke asked with a disbelieving expression.
"You're really right, Shopkeeper Guo is really just as you said. But there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have good and bad luck, and if you want to blame, you can only blame the shopkeeper Guo for seeing the wrong person. The shopkeeper of the silk village sighed and said.
When Li Ke heard the shopkeeper of the Silk Village say this, he felt that the shopkeeper of the Silk Village definitely knew some inside information. So he asked, "Shopkeeper, can you tell me in detail what happened?" ”
"Well, to be honest, I, as an outsider, shouldn't have been involved in this. After all, it's all someone else's family affair. But since Shopkeeper Guo is your cousin, then I'll talk to my son. ”
"I think Childe is also like a reasonable person who can read and write, if Childe has the ability, he may be able to save your cousin's life." The shopkeeper of the silk village thought about it and said.
Then the shopkeeper of the silk village talked to Li Ke. It turned out that Guo Wang, the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai opposite, was really a good person.
The relationship with these neighbors around him is good.,Usually as long as there is something to ask him for something.。 There's never been one who didn't help.
But a good person does not have a good life, although the original wife is knowledgeable and virtuous, but she did not give birth to a son who inherited the family business to Guo Wang.
In the end, this Guo Wang could only accept one concubine, but the trouble came from this concubine. This little concubine's surname is Zhang Mingqiao, and she is not a proper woman.
It was she who bought the matchmaker and coaxed Guo Wang to successfully marry into the Guo family. Before passing through the door, none of these neighbors had seen who Guo Wang's concubine was.
When I saw it when I drank the wedding wine, it was too late to remind Guo Wang. And this Zhang Qiao pretended to be very virtuous in front of Guo Wang. is also very respectful to the eldest lady.
So the neighbors felt that maybe this Zhang Qiao would change his ways after getting married. So no one would mention this matter in front of Guo Wang.
But what he didn't expect was that this Zhang Qiao secretly colluded with the shopkeeper to frame Guo Wang's main room for adultery. In the end, Guo Wangxiu returned to his parents' home.
And this concubine is trying to rob Guo Wang's entire family property. He was ready to marry Guo Wang's daughter to his adulterer Zhang Shan.
But why Guo Wang killed Zhang Shan, these neighbors don't know much about the inside story. guessed that Guo Wang discovered the adultery between Zhang Qiao and Zhang Shan, so he killed Zhang Shan in a fit of anger.
After listening to the story of the shopkeeper of the silk village, Li Ke somewhat understood the general course of the matter. So after thanking the shopkeeper of the silk village, he took Li Yin to open it.
"I really let Gongzi guess correctly, Guo Wang's concubine is really a woman who is out of the wall and does not abide by women's morals." Li Yin said to Li Ke with admiration.
"Now let's go to the county office, after all, there are some things that will be clearer after asking the parties." Li Ke said to Li Yin.
……
It turned out that the Xiao County Order of Qizhou City was sent back to the Xiao family in Lanling by Li Ke. As for the final outcome, Li Keke has no need to worry about it.
However, the county order of Qizhou City cannot be left unmanned, so the county governor of Qizhou is temporarily in charge. After all, Li Ke is only the assassin of Qizhou, and he has no authority to appoint a county commander.
Therefore, the county order of Qizhou City should be reappointed by the Ministry of Officials. And before the newly appointed prefectural order took office. There can only be the original county governor of Qizhou who is in charge of the county order.
This generation of county officials who are in charge of the county order of Qizhou is now sitting in the position of this county order, but it is like sitting on pins and needles. He knows what happened to the original prefectural order.
So I am very serious about everything, for fear that I will only be in charge of the county order for a few days, and I will make any mistakes.
Just when the county magistrate who was waiting to take charge of the county order was reviewing the official documents. A member of the yamen came to the county to communicate to the county, saying that there was a personable son outside the door who wanted to see him.
Hearing that there was a personable son who wanted to see him, the county man couldn't help but feel strange. Then he asked the man, "Did the boy ever say his name?" What is the matter with coming to this officer? ”
"Lord Hui, my subordinates asked, but the son didn't tell my subordinates. It's just that when the adults see him, they will naturally know who he is. The tolerance opened his mouth and said to the county.
This made the county even more strange, but since the other party dared to say such a thing. It is definitely not an ordinary person, and it may even be the mysterious Qizhou Thorn King Li Ke.
So Qizhou County Cheng hurriedly packed up his clothes and went to the county yamen. When he came to the outside of the county office, he saw that it was Li Ke standing in front of him.
Frightened, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by Li Yin reaching out. I only heard Li Yin open his mouth and say: "Childe is just coming over to take a look today"
I heard Li Ke's entourage call Li Ke a son, but did not call him a prince or His Royal Highness. That shows that Li Ke does not want to reveal his identity this time.
So the county Cheng welcomed Li Ke into the county office. After arriving at the living room, the county seat retreated left and right, and then knelt down in front of Li Ke and saluted and said, "I don't know what the prince has to explain when he comes to the door in person?" ”
"This king heard that there was a murder in Qizhou City recently, so he came over to ask what the situation was." Li Ke opened his mouth and asked the county Cheng.
The county's answer was the same as what Li Yin said. And it was said that Guo Wang took the initiative to confess to the government and admitted that he had killed Zhang Shan.
