Zhang Qiang asked: "Shopkeeper, please explain to us well, did the murderer go to your shop?" ”

"My lord, there are so many people who come to our store to buy things, how do we know?" The shopkeeper said with a bitter face.

"Let me remind you, someone saw that the murderer was wearing black clothes, and your store sells this kind of clothes, and you dare to say that you haven't seen the murderer?" Zhang Qiang shouted angrily.

Jia Daoming shook his head secretly, if he has clothes of the same color as the murderer, he will go to find someone else's store, is there such a reason?

But thinking about it from another perspective, it seems that it is understandable to do this, Song Wenjian and they did not do anything wrong.

"Have you seen the murderer?" Zhang Qiang continued to ask.

Zhang Qiang also asked the yacha to handcuff the other guys and hang them, and many of them screamed again and again.

Jia Daoming couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Zhang Qiang, Master Li asked you to let people go." ”

"Master Jia, since there is an order from the county commander, let's give a note, otherwise, we have no way to give an account to Lord Song. We are now doing things according to the rules, and we can't release people indiscriminately without warrants or regulations. Zhang Qiang said embarrassedly: "You have also seen that the clothes that the murderer may have bought in this store, as long as the shopkeeper can confess what the murderer looks like, we will be able to find the murderer." ”

Jia Daoming saw that Zhang Qiang didn't listen to him, so he was so angry that he ran back to the inner courtyard to find Li Rujun to complain: "Lord County, Zhang Qiang is a Song man on the left and a Song Lord on the right, and he doesn't look at us anymore." ”

"Master Jia Daoming, what you said seems to be trying to drive a wedge between me and the county magistrate." Song Wenjian's eerie voice sounded behind him.

When Jia Daoming heard Song Wenjian's voice, his body trembled in fright, and he hurriedly turned his head and said with a smile: "Song Dianshi, you are here." ”

In the past, Jia Daoming may have dared to be dissatisfied with Song Wenjian, but today eight Xiucai died, which shows that Song Wenjian is ruthless.

He is different from Li Rujun, who lives in the yamen and is guarded by yamen.

He lives outside, and if he makes Song Wenjian unhappy and asks someone to beat him in the back, he won't even know how to die by then.

When Song Wenjian was not in Suixi, they dared to come nonsense.

But Song Wenjian is in the yamen, Wu Guanhai and others are like Dinghai Shenzhen, they listen to Song Wenjian for everything, and dare to do anything.

"Hmph, Master Jia, you seem to have an opinion about me." Song Wenjian looked at Jia Daoming coldly.

"Lord Song, just now Lord Li asked me to go to the cell to let Zhang Qiang release, not because he has an opinion on you." Jia Daoming said with a smile.

He is no better than He Zisong and others, he has an official position, and Song Wenjian doesn't dare to do anything with them.

No, now Song Wenjian is attacking He Zisong, and directly arresting all the people in the He family's shop, it is said that the things in the He family's store have been taken away by others.

Li Rujun said to Song Wenjian: "Song Dianshi, have you found out that He shop is related to the murderer?" ”

"Now they are still investigating, and they have not yet come to a conclusion." Song Wenjian said.

"Song Dianshi, you won't arrest the shopkeeper and take them to the prison cell, right?" He Zisong knew the darkness in the cell.

If they want to extract a confession, they will beat you to doubt your life, and in the end you have to bow your head and admit everything.

Song Wenjian shook his head and said, "This won't happen, I told the cell that you can't beat prisoners." ”

He Zisong didn't believe Song Wenjian's nonsense, and hurriedly asked Jia Daoming: "Master Jia, when you went to the cell just now, were those shopkeepers beaten up so badly that they didn't look like people?" ”

Jia Daoming smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Qiang didn't beat them. ”

Li Rujun listened to Jia Daoming's account of the situation in the cell, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

Song Wenjian and the others were very smart, and they found some clues at once, and arrested the people from the He family's shop for interrogation.

There doesn't seem to be anything excessive, and he can't say anything about it.

"Song Dianshi, you should hurry up and check, I will let Tie Dao also go over and take a look." Li Rujun said.

Alas, if it weren't for Yongchanghou, Li Rujun really didn't want to fight with Song Wenjian.

Song Wenjian said: "Well, if there is an iron knife to come and help, things will be much easier." ”

The next day, Tie Dao went to the cell with He Zisong.

Zhang Qiang had already received a hint from Song Wenjian, and did not stop He Zisong from letting them go as shopkeepers.

The shopkeeper went out of the yamen, and He Zisong asked in disbelief: "Shopkeeper, Zhang Qiang, they didn't beat you?" ”

"Sir, they didn't hit us." The shopkeeper really wanted to hug He Zisong and cry.

Although Zhang Qiang didn't beat them, they were tortured to the point that they couldn't look like that.

From yesterday to now, they have not been able to sleep and have been hanging.

This mental torture is even more terrifying than physical torture.

If they had a choice, they didn't want to meet Zhang Qiang and the others again.

This is Song Wenjian's use of the soft confession method of later generations, so that the prisoner cannot survive or die, it is really better to live than to die.

Just as the shopkeeper was about to leave, Zhang Qiang walked out of the yamen and smiled at them like a spring breeze: "Shopkeeper, man, you go back first." If there's anything going on, we'll call you over again. ”

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he didn't want to go into the yamen's cell anymore.

He Zisong asked the shopkeeper to go back to the store to check the lost goods, and he also returned to the Confucian Department on duty.

But when it was almost noon, Steward He ran over angrily. "Master, it's not good."

"What's going on? Could it be that another Xiucai was killed? He Zisong stood up in surprise and asked.

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "No, it was the family members of those Xiucai who were killed yesterday who came to our He family and said that the master should not show favoritism, and he must investigate the whereabouts of the murderer." ”

"When do I not show favoritism? Isn't it Song Wenjian that they are tracking down the murderer? Why didn't they go to Song Wenjian, why did they come to my house? He Zisong was furious.

Could it be that he He Zisong is a soft bone and is easy to be bullied by others?

Steward He said: "I don't know who leaked the news, saying that the yacha has found out that the clothes sold in the He family's shop are related to the clothes worn by the murderer, and when the yacha was about to dig deeper, it was the lord who prevented the yacha from checking it, and said that he couldn't close the city gate, and he didn't care about Xiucai's killing." ”

"Who slandered me like that?" He Zisong was so angry that his head dizzy and fell to the ground.

He's going to be finished, he's the mentor of the Suixi scholars, if others say that he doesn't care about Xiucai's killing, then what else does he have to clear his name? This is the end of the day.

"I don't know about this, I just heard people in the city say this, and many scholars came to the gate of our He house and pointed at our house and scolded." Steward He said with a bitter face.

Now the He family is like a rat crossing the street, and he escaped from the back door of the He family just now.

If you go out from the main gate of He's house, you may be beaten to death by those scholars.
