Chapter 6: Zhou Ning picks up tea

Although some of the Imperial Tribute Garden is open to the public, it is not something that can be bought casually. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhang County Order also paid a fixed amount of money a year in advance, so he got a pound of new tea.

It is said that the tea in the Imperial Tribute Garden is now lined up for three years, and it is not so easy to buy it. Zhou Ning took a small sip and put down the teacup, to be honest, he couldn't wait to swallow the teacup together.

He was thirsty and asked for water, but he didn't drink the water but was caught in court, and his saliva was wasted.

Even if his thirsty throat is smoking, he still needs his demeanor, and he will never lose his literati style because of a cup of tea.

As soon as he put down the teacup, Zhang Xianling instructed Yahuan: "Give this tea bag eight taels to Lord Zhou." ”

"Yes." Yahuan lightly blessed, turned around and walked out.

"Not necessarily." Zhou Ning raised his hand and signaled that Yahuan didn't need to take it, this tea is very precious, eight taels is half a catty, not a small price. "It's a blessing to taste this cup, how can a gentleman win people's love if he can't be in vain?"

"Go." Zhang Xianling glared at Yahuan, who really stood still, and turned his head to Zhou Ning and said, "Brother Zhou doesn't have to be polite, Yunjiang County and Gaobei County are close to each other, so I won't have to bother you in the future." ”

"yes." The master picked up the conversation on the side and said to Zhou Ning: "It is normal for Lord Zhang to invite you to tea, and you can also return it if you have good tea in the future." ”

"Please, tea?" Zhou Ning is not a fool, 'tea' and 'check' are homophonic, and the master's extraneous voice is to ask Zhou Ning to help them investigate this mysterious case.

In this way, this half catty of tea is at ease, how can there be no help in vain? Even if it's a labor fee.

"Please, tea!" The master stretched out his palm and pointed to Zhou Ning's teacup, of course, the meaning on the surface was to invite Zhou Ning to drink tea, and the other meaning was to ask him to help investigate the case.

Didn't he boast that he was a talent at the age of ten and a man at the age of thirteen? Then let's take a look at these two Jinshi, how many real materials there are in the new R County Master.

"Well said, well said." Zhou Ning picked up the teacup, scraped it gently, took a big sip, and said meaningfully: "Good tea, but the price is a little more expensive." ”

Tea is good tea, and if you receive other people's tea, you have to do things for others, and there is really no free lunch in this world. Zhou Ning meant that this half catty of tea was estimated to be worth him a month, so he asked him to investigate a case and it seemed that the bid was a little higher.

"As long as the tea is good, I don't care about the price, you just have to rest assured." Zhang Xianling was completely misunderstood, he thought that Zhou Ning was negotiating with him. As long as you can check the case for me, you can mention how much money you want.

At this time, Yahuan took the tea bag, she gently put the tea bag on the square table, and retreated without speaking.

Zhou Ning glanced at the tea bag and looked at Zhang Xianling with a slight smile: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I don't know who Brother Zhang is going to arrest today?" How did you arrest me for no reason? ”

"Well, don't mention it." Zhang Xianling took the opportunity to briefly introduce the case to Zhou Ning. "According to the master's plan, let Liu Wang's family go back, hoping to catch her adulterer, I don't want Li Er's bastard to be careless and reckless, and mistakenly arrest you, the virtuous brother."

Zhou Ning secretly digested the case described by Zhang County's order, nodded and smiled: "In this way, I ruined Brother Zhang's plan." ”

How can you say that? It's all Li Er's invitation to the gong that is anxious, and he caught a good person by mistake, this time he is scared, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult to find the real murderer. ”

"Brother Zhang can be sure that Liu Wuzhu is dead?"

"It's been eight and a half months since he disappeared, and if he was alive, there should be news coming back."

"How did Brother Zhang determine that he was killed by Liu Wang's family?"

"Liu Wuzhu is an honest person, he usually has no grudges with others, and no outsiders know about his going to Jiangnan, Xia Laosan's suspicion has long been ruled out, and only Liu Wang's suspicion is the biggest after thinking about it."

Zhou Jing listened to Zhang Xianling's words quietly, he picked up the teacup and scraped it gently, thinking secretly without saying a word, and he shook his head when he thought about it for a while.

"Liu Wang's suspicion is the least, if she murders Liu Wuzhu, the best way out is to mourn openly. The Liu family has no close relatives, and her husband only needs to buy a coffin and hire someone to bury it. ”

Zhou Ning looked at Zhang Xianling lightly: "Why did she hide her funeral and make the city full of wind and rain?" Hiding the corpse alone is not something she can do. ”

Zhou Ning thought of Liu Wang's family, and intuitively felt that she was a kind and timid person. A rat scared her so much that she almost broke her bones, and it seemed a little hard to make her kill.

Zhang Xianling suspected that she had an adulterer, and after several months of investigation, there was no real evidence. And if she really harmed her husband with someone, she should mourn directly.

When her husband dies, she is free, and it is more convenient to deal with the adulterer. Why would she lie about missing people? What good will it do her to provoke the government to come to her door?

Zhang Xianling was speechless when asked by Zhou Ning, and the head who listened to his analysis was Dao, as if Liu Wang's first did not have the motive to kill Liu Wuzhu, and second, there was no need to report the case.

But apart from Liu Wang's family, Zhang Xianling really didn't know who to suspect, why did this Liu Wuzhu suddenly evaporate in the world?

"According to Brother Xian's opinion, where should this case start?" Zhang Xianling's strategy that he had been thinking about for several months was disrupted by Zhou Ning, not to mention, and he was also denied by him.

Since you said that Liu Wang is not suspicious, then who do you say is suspicious?

Zhou Ning's brows furrowed slightly: "Just saying that, I can't guess why, I don't know if the case file can accommodate a certain view?" ”

The master hurriedly took the case file and handed it over, and Zhou Ning took the case file and looked at it carefully. The complainant did not have a pleading, nor did he have a defendant.

Liu Wang's family and Xia Laosan went to the county government to beat the drum and complain to the court, Liu Wang's family said that Liu Wuzhu went out of the house at dawn, and Xia Laosan said that he did not see Liu Wuzhu when he boarded the boat when he first handed over. Liu Wuzhu disappeared for no apparent reason, so they came to report the case.

The whole thing is clearly written, the boatman Qian Da said that Liu Wuzhu did not arrive at the ferry at all, he was entrusted by Xia Laosan to go to Liu's house to find Liu Wuzhu, only to know that Liu Wuzhu had already left the house, and the three of them searched in the county, and finally returned in vain.

Zhou Ning looked at the case file and asked, "There is only a small boat at the ferry?" ”

"The ferry port usually has a boat after the hour, they want to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and they have made an appointment with Qian Damao to set off in advance, so Qian Da is waiting for them at the ferry in advance, do you have any questions?"

Zhang County's order also interrogated Qian Da, Qian Da insisted that he hadn't seen Liu Wuzhu, and Qian Da had been a ferryman for some years, and he was a serious citizen.
