Chapter 2: Entering Beijing in September

"My lord! Adult~"

Li Zhutou ran into the inner courtyard with a snort, and before anyone could take a look, he shouted first. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A rope under his feet tripped on the threshold, and he fell into the mud, and the word "adult" that had just shouted out his lips also broke the sound.

Zhang Xianling's mood has been very gloomy these days, and he has been blocked by the case so that there is no trace of a crack in his heart, and he is even more disgusted when he hears Li Zhutou shouting with a broken gong.

When I looked up and saw him fall so embarrassed, it was a burst of boredom for no reason.

Zhang Xianling suddenly straightened his face and scolded: "You damn killer, let you solve the case, your face twitches like a dead mother all day long, it's not good to be born in Liu Widow. The woman is guarding the house, and she is busy running back to do something? ”

Li Zhutou got up from the ground, dusted off his clothes and didn't care about the pain in his knees, and hurriedly ran into the inner hall, and reported without even breathing: "My lord, catch, catch." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xianling looked at him suspiciously, although he didn't say anything, Li Zhutou quickly understood what Zhang Xianling meant, and knew that Zhang Xianling was asking him, 'What are you holding?' ’。

"That adulterer came to the door and let me get it back." Li Zhutou had a smug look on his face, we did a good job on this errand!

It only took a few hours to arrest the person back, which can definitely be regarded as a success, Li Zhutou proudly added: "The adulterer ** didn't run away." ”

Zhang Xianling narrowed his eyes and stared at him fixedly for a while, when did he become so efficient? It's impossible to think about it, and the more I look at him, the more angry I become.

"Grab your grandma's legs!" Zhang Xianling slapped the table, and the tea cups on the table made the sound of porcelain colliding with each other.

Li Zhutou was so frightened that he hurriedly took a step back, obviously he was here to report the good news, why did he hit the muzzle of the gun again? He didn't dare to ask questions in his heart, and he didn't dare to show his grievances, but he just lowered his head and listened quietly.

"Let me ask you how far is it from the county government to Lao Liu's house? How long do you have to walk? Two and a half hours and you'll be back with him. Did Mom go to the place? ”

Zhang Xianling almost kicked him, making his liver tremble with anger. "You lie and don't look at who you're talking to, when your master is as brainless as you?"

Li Zhutou was angry in his heart, but he couldn't help it, did he dare to be angry with the county master? He could only smile and say, "I really caught it." ”

"You're going to catch an adulterer for me halfway through?" Zhang Xianling couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, if he was lazy and didn't catch it, it didn't matter.

If he catches someone casually and comes back, won't it be a surprise? There is no longer a chance to catch the real murderer, and this case has dragged on for eight and a half months, and there is only this last glimmer of hope left.

"No, it's not." Li Zhutou waved his hand again and again, and he hurriedly explained: "I hired two cars to go over. Seeing that Zhang County's order was not angry, Li Zhutou hurried to get down to business.

It is also very common to arrest prisoners and hire a car, and the yamen has a separate budget, but this needs to be consulted in advance.

"Less than an hour after Liu Wang's family arrived home, the adulterer came to the door, and I led someone to rush up and tie him up directly."

"Where did you catch the guys? Is there any evidence? ”

"LIU widow. Woman, I am a witness to the one who caught me in bed. "Li Zhu's head and chest. There is no law that says that the head catcher cannot be a witness, right?

"Caught in bed?" Zhang Xianling's eyes immediately lit up, which was really good news. caught Liu Wang's adulterer, and the case was solved.

Li Zhutou scratched his head innocently: "We are still a little slower, when we entered the house, they all wore their clothes." ”

"You can prove that they must have committed adultery. Just love it. ”

"Absolutely, I was crouching under the window, and I heard it so really, the sound was unbearable."

Throughout the ages, no matter how upright a man and gentleman is, when he hears something that is 'unbearable', his ears will immediately stand upright and ensure that he is straight, and if he finds something 'unsightly', his eyes will immediately widen like lanterns.

After listening to Li Zhutou's narration, Zhang Xianling's face was slightly red with excitement, and he had been pestering him for several days. The haze that surrounded my heart was swept away in an instant.

"My lord, will you try them right away or put them in jail first?" Li Zhutou raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, the weather was not hot in May, but it was still a little dry at noon.

Zhang Xianling laughed: "It's really the emperor who lives up to his wishes, and finally let me catch him, this is the restoration of the French Open." ”

After smiling, the expression was closed, and the majesty of the official family was immediately revealed. Zhang Xianling coughed lightly and ordered: "Come on, change clothes!" This judge will put this thief on trial for murder. ”

Under the plaque of the 'Mirror Hanging' in the main hall of the county ya, Zhang Xianling, whose face was sinking like water, stood beside the master holding a folding fan, and the three classes of officials were lined up on both sides.

"Mighty~"

After the roar of the hall horn, more than a dozen water and fire sticks crackled and poked the ground.

"Smack!"

Zhang Xianling slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "Bring someone to commit a crime!" ”

"Bring people to commit crimes~" A sound spread from the main hall to the outer hall, and the two officials in the outer hall escorted Zhou Ning to the main hall and then turned around and went out.

The ropes on his body had long been removed, and Zhou Ning stood straight in the middle of the hall, looking at his colleague with a calm gaze.

I thought that after this appointment, I would live the life of a judge. Who would have thought that a lesson came on the way to the post, and he was actually judged by others in the lobby.

This is the ruler of the ruler who is in charge of the official, and the person who judges the person is judged.

"Smack!" Zhang Xian Ling was shocked and asked sharply: "Bold criminals, why don't you kneel when you see the official?" ”

Zhou Ning smiled bitterly, he didn't know what he was doing, how did he become a prisoner? He was obviously just looking for someone to ask for directions, and by the way, he just wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink.

As a result, before he even drank the bowl of water, he was 'invited' to the lobby of the county magistrate by the officials.

Zhou Ning saw that he was asked, he arched his hand upward, and replied calmly: "Xiao Ke has a meritorious reputation, and it is inconvenient to salute, and I hope that the adults will forgive me." ”

In the Dajing Dynasty, the status of scholars was very high, and even the lowest talents had the privilege of not kneeling when they saw the county officials. Zhou Ning is a new science and technology jinshi, and he is also a newly appointed county official, and he is on an equal footing with Zhang County Ling, who is sitting upright.

Zhang Xianling heard that he was famous, so he squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully. I saw the person standing below wearing a square scarf and a Confucian shirt, handsome and dignified, looking like a scholar.

"What year are you a talent?" Zhang Xianling saw that he had a bit of the elegance of a scholar, and believed that he was a meritorious person, but he was just a showman.

"Nine years ago, the middle of the show." Zhou Ning told the truth, but he didn't expect it to be exchanged for a sneer from the county official, and the smile was eerie.

"What an ignorant child, how old can you be this year? Dare to say that nine years ago? Zhang Xianling couldn't believe what he said, he looked like he was only about twenty years old, and he was a child nine years ago.

"Xiao Ke wasted his years in the nineteenth spring, nine years ago in the middle of the show, six years ago in the middle of the lift, only because of the death of the mother of the family, the three years of filial piety missed the examination period, this year into the spring."

"Hahahaha" Zhang Xianling laughed wantonly with endless ridicule, just now he suspected that he was talking nonsense, but now he directly suspected that he was crazy.

Who has ever heard of a prodigy who was admitted to Xiucai at the age of ten? Who has ever seen a thirteen-year-old Xiaojuren again? According to what he said, he will enter spring this year, and he should be the undoubted champion and younger brother, right?

"What a big breath, could it be that Your Excellency is a Wenqu star? I don't know what your name is, where is the fairy town? Zhang Xianling's tone was not vicious, on the contrary, it was very soft, and the softness was as uncomfortable as a prickly throat.

Face this red. Nakedly ridiculed, Zhou Ning's face did not change, as if he couldn't hear the real meaning of the words, and replied indifferently: "Thanks to the praise of adults, Xiao Ke's surname is Zhou, with a single name and a Ning character, and he lives in Cangshan County, Wufu, Xizhou." ”

"Smack!" Zhang Xianling slapped the startled wood again, and stopped going around the bend with him. It doesn't matter whether he has merit or not, what matters is whether he is guilty or not.

As long as he is guilty, he can also be stripped of his meritorious name. Zhang County's face was frosty, and he asked about the case seriously.

"Dare to distract the people! How did you hook up with Liu Wang's family, and how did you murder Liu Wuzhu? Don't recruit me yet! ”

Zhou Ning, who has to answer questions every time, is really a little difficult this time. He didn't know anything at all, he blinked, and pondered carefully.

Zhang County's order revealed two pieces of information in one sentence, the first half of the sentence has a word 'hooked up and adulterous', and the second half of the sentence says 'murdered Liu Wuzhu'.

Combining these two pieces of information, Zhou Ning understood the nature of today's case.

"What do adults mean, isn't it because you suspect that Xiao Ke can kill her husband and take her wife?" Zhou Ning is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry, he is confident that he can still say this clearly.

Zhou Ning raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of a smile: "Xiao Ke has been living in the Spring Breeze Inn in the capital since the beginning of September last year, and he has not left for eight months. Thirteen days ago, I set off from the capital, and I only arrived in Guixian today, where I have two lives and no one has anything to do with it. ”

Zhang Xianling stared at Zhou Ning for a long time, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a mental illness, how could he say everything like he was mentally abnormal?

He hasn't left since he entered Beijing in early September last year? It's really a coincidence, it's a coincidence, Liu Wuzhu died on August 17 last year, and it was only half a month's journey from here to the capital.
