Just when the Zhao family thought that they would win this kind of lawsuit, Li Qian finally fought back.

Early in the morning, when Zhao Yuanwai, who lived in the manor, was playing against Zhou Gong, he woke up a subordinate in the house, according to the report, when the long-term workers got up in the morning to prepare for work, they unexpectedly found a corpse in the yard where the grain was drying!

Is this worth it?

People die in their own manors, and regardless of whether it is an accident or a homicide, once they report to the official, it is difficult for them to explain what is going on------ in fact, it is not difficult to explain clearly, just break the fortune. Don't look at how polite those officials usually treat themselves, and they are involved in a life lawsuit, and the officials below are really stupid if they don't take the opportunity to knock you on a bamboo bar.

The Zhao family has a lot of money, and it has been very prosperous in the past few years, but it is not that they can't afford this money, but who wants to give their own money to others for nothing?

In the past, it was not that he had never broken his fortune, and many of the things that his little bastard caused outside ended up wiping his ass for him------ so how could Zhao Yuanwai not be clear about the government's money-making method?

He can be sure that this matter should not have much to do with himself, because his son Zhao Peng lived in the city last night------ in recent years, that kid has become more and more unscrupulous, and the trouble caused is getting bigger and bigger------

But now the matter obviously has nothing to do with him, Zhao Yuanwai is wondering.

When he arrived in the courtyard of the grain drying yard and saw the clothes on the deceased's body, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this person looks like a beggar, not a person with status, and if he dies, he will die, and it is estimated that no one will pursue the matter, regardless of whether he died in an accident or a homicide.

After all, Zhao Yuanwai is not a professional worker, so naturally he does not have the ability to judge the cause of death and the specific time of death of the beggar through the corpse.

However, in his mind, the long-term workers and villagers under his own name have been following him for some years, and without his own orders, he should not kill people, and he is still in this own manor. And the tenants, most of them are honest countrymen, and they can't give birth to this murderous dog guts.

Zhao Yuanwai can only think that this beggar may want to come in and steal food by going over the wall at night, but suddenly he has to die of a sudden illness------ this is really not a blind guess, beggars sleep in the wilderness all year round, three days and two hungry not to mention, the food they can occasionally eat, either is the overnight meal that people give alms, or some wild vegetable bark, it is strange not to get sick!

While screaming bad luck in his heart, he was secretly thinking about whether to report this matter to the government.

It is said that beggars have always been very suspicious, even the government is unwilling to let them into the city to beg along the streets, so as not to affect the peace and prosperity of the city. Not only that, but even the welfare institutions set up by the imperial court in the local area are unwilling to take in too many beggars------ with more food expenses for one more person, and more beggars to raise, how can there be oil and water for the public?

Therefore, if the beggar dies, the government will at most go through the motions, and the case will be hastily closed and reported after an accidental death.

But if a person dies in the home of a wealthy man, this situation will be treated specially, and you must be falsely accused of murder and forced to pay for peace.

At this time, Zhao Yuanwai didn't know the result of his son's negotiation with Li Qian last night, but he thought that Li Qian had no reason to refuse a large sum of money spent in vain, and 20,000 taels to buy a formula was enough. In the current confrontation, the other party is at a disadvantage, and there is no reason for him to refuse his proposal to take a step back.

For a while, Zhao Yuanwai really didn't think that it would be Li Qian who was secretly framing him.

After some consideration, he still felt that he didn't bite his hand when he had too much money, so he simply let people throw the corpse into the wilderness, saving him a fortune for no reason.

As soon as he had made up his mind, Zhao Yuanwai ordered the long-term workers to carry the corpses onto the cart and cover them tightly with rags and straw mats.

For some reason, after doing this, Zhao Yuanwai was a little uneasy all morning. However, he reassured himself that the matter was done very secretly, and there should be no mistakes.

From noon to midday, just as he was waiting anxiously, the person came back, but it was not the long worker and the groom who went out in the morning, but his son Zhao Peng.

"Stinky boy!" Zhao Yuanwai was in an anxious mood, and when he talked to his son, he was inevitably mixed with a little anger, "Do you still know to come back?" What you asked you to do yesterday, I didn't give a letter early, how is it, how much did Li Qian pay? ”

"He's ------"

Zhao Peng dragged out his tone, because he didn't dare to look him in the eyes because of his weak heart, he turned his head slightly and said: "Dad, this person is really uninteresting, I have added the price to 20,000 two, but he still refuses to give up the soap prescription------ if you want me to say, let's just don't do it and kill him in the prison of Zhensi, and save him the trouble of looking for us in the future!" ”

When Zhao Yuanwai heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning deeply, and he asked uneasily.

"Didn't talk?"

"I didn't talk about it."

"If you can't talk about it------" Seeing his son shaking his head, his brows suddenly wrinkled deeper, his two sparse eyebrows were twisted into the word 'Chuan', and he paced in the room with his hands and muttered: "I'm afraid that Li Qian is going to start dealing with us------" Speaking of this, his pupils widened suddenly, and he 'chuckled' in his heart, and clapped his hands violently and said: "It's broken!" Hit the trick! ”

Zhao Peng saw him muttering in a low voice when he was alone, he wanted to go back to his room for a nap, but he didn't want to startle him as soon as he turned around, so he turned around and looked at him, and asked in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong?" Whose trick have you fallen? ”

Seeing his reaction like this, Zhao Yuanwai was angry, raised his hand and said, "You bastard boy!" I can't talk about it, and I don't know if I should let people come back to report the news earlier, Lao Tzu is really going to be killed by you! His hand stayed in mid-air for a long time, and after all, he couldn't bear to be ruthless to this lone seedling, so he could only sigh heavily, and then let it go.

Zhao Peng was really frightened just now, it was the first time he had seen his own Lao Tzu react like this, could it be true that something big happened that he didn't know about? He hurriedly asked, "Dad, what happened?" ”

"What's the matter? You're too embarrassed to ask! Zhao Yuanwai glared at him very sternly, and was about to speak, but there was a commotion outside the door.

"No------ it's not good! Oh no------"

"Master, something is wrong!"

As soon as he heard this voice, Zhao Yuanwai knew that things were not good, and his already nervous heart suddenly sank a little more, and he hurriedly lifted the curtain and shouted: "What's the matter?" ”

"Master, the little bookstore in that household is here again!" The little guy who came running in a panic replied.

When Zhao Yuanwai heard this, his pale face returned a little blood, and he said in a deep voice: "He's coming, what's the big deal?" Make an excuse to go back! ”

"But ------ but he still ------" The little guy ran out of breath, and took two quick breaths before continuing: "He also brought Xu Zhutou from the yamen, led a team of tolerances, and tied up Zhao Shisan and Zhang Quan------"

There is no need to listen to the words anymore, what Zhao Yuanwai was most worried about finally happened.

This kid of the Li family has good means!

Surrounded by a group of family members and long-term workers, the father and son hurried to the front yard, and as soon as they came to the gate, they saw that the gang of fierce officials had broken in, and two of the servants were still holding the two Zhao family workers and horsemen who were tied up by five flowers.

After all, Zhao Yuanwai is a scene person, except for the panic at the beginning, his mood has gradually calmed down by this time.

forced out a smile, and repeatedly bowed his hand to Zhu Zhendong and other officials: "Everyone, please send a master!" These two people are from my family, they are innocent, and they should not commit crimes, so dare to ask why the poor master was detained? ”

"Whew! The murderer also dares to say that he is innocent? Xu Jie immediately stood opposite him with a horizontal knife, and said coldly: "Zhao Chengcheng, your family killed people and threw corpses, and we are arresting them!" "Justice is the nickname of the chief of grain.

"How could such a thing be?" Zhao Yuanwai's eyes widened, and he pointed to the two people who were bound: "These two people have been with me for many years, and I know all about their temperaments. ”

"Oh? Could it be that justice is unaware of this? Xiao Zhu has now turned into a white-shirted secretary, although he is not a serious scholar, but he is not a big or small knife and pen officer, so when he usually speaks, he inevitably likes to drag the text and play a few official words.

At this moment, he raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, held his head high, and as soon as he came in, he didn't look at the Zhao family father and son, but only glanced at Zhao Yuanwai and said: "Someone saw with their own eyes that these two people dug a big pit in the reeds and buried the dead!" Dare to ask justice, what is the explanation for this? ”

Saying that, he had a look of ridicule on his face, and his eyes swept over the Zhao family's father and son and said, "Isn't it, Zhao Yuanwai went out to visit friends a few days ago, and he didn't come back until this afternoon?" ”

"You ------" Zhao Yuanwai's face changed, and he was about to scold, but when the words came to his mouth, he hurriedly took them back, gritted his teeth and changed his words: "I'm afraid that the poor master has misunderstood, my Zhao family is a family!" "When he mentioned the word 'Zhao family', he deliberately accentuated his tone a little, reminding the other party that it was best to pay attention to his identity and not to be ignorant.

In fact, if it had been a change and let a little scribe be so humiliated in person, Zhao Yuanwai would have been mad a long time ago. Even his son, who had always been impulsive, wanted to step forward and scold the other party, but he glared back with stern eyes.

There is no way, the current situation is stronger than people, and the county officials are not as good as the current management after all, and in Qiantang County, it is now the county magistrate who is standing on Li Qian's side who has the final say, these small officials who were originally not on the stage are not easy to offend------ the life lawsuit is not a trivial matter, if the county government insists on refusing to stop, it is also very difficult for him to clear up his involvement.

Although Xiao Zhu deliberately humiliated him with words, he didn't dare to go too far, and after mocking two sentences of relief, he stepped aside in moderation. Xu Jie secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart, and then said loudly: "Zhao Chengcheng, you are involved in a murder case, please come with us." ”

As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand and detained the person to return to the office.

However, because the background of the Zhao family was too scary, Xu Jie treated them politely, and only caught the long-term workers with iron chains, and the father and son of the Zhao family were exempted from this procedure.
