For Wu Zichu, who was determined to marry his sister to himself, Yu Shaobai could only add helplessness to his helplessness, and returned to the Wu family listlessly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Big brother, you're going to drink again." Wu Lingrou looked at Wu Zichu who walked into the pavilion with some displeasure.

Wu Zichu couldn't help but smell his clothes, and muttered: "I didn't smell the wine on my body, how did my little sister know that I went to drink?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai raised his forehead and sighed, just this IQ...... It's really drunk.

"Yu Gongzi, are you also going?"

Seeing Wu Lingrou looking at herself, Yu Shaobai shook his head: "I didn't drink the wine, but I ate a lot." ”

"Brother! It's just that you fool around in the Qinglou on weekdays, how can you bring Yu Gongzi badly? Wu Lingrou said angrily.

Seeing that his sister was angry for others, Wu Zichu felt a kind of indescribable desolation, turned his head to look at Yu Shaobai, and motioned for him to speak.

"That...... Miss Wu, you have misunderstood Brother Zichu, since he was enlightened by me, he is no longer addicted to the land of fireworks, and Brother Zichu has always been a role model for the next, he is so infatuated with Miss Yueru, rare in the world, it must be a good story after a hundred years, this time we just ate and drank, and did nothing else, I hope Miss you don't misunderstand. Yu Shaobai said a little panting in the first half of this sentence, but he had a clear conscience in the back, didn't he just do nothing?

Wu Lingrou was already thin-skinned, and when she heard that Yu Shaobai followed her eldest brother to Chunmanlou, she was a little panicked, so she ran over, and she had a feeling of asking about the guilt of the teacher.

Looking at his sister who covered his face and left, Wu Zichu sighed helplessly and sat in the pavilion.

"Brother-in-law, is my sister still saved?"

"Don't say that, after all, it wasn't the cause you planted at the beginning, and now it's bearing fruit, can you blame me?"

……

Time passed, and when it came to the afternoon, Yu Shaobai walked out of Wu Zichu's room, with three taels of silver in his hand, turned his head and smiled: "Brother Zichu, sometimes it is useless to come to Laipi, now let's go and do business." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Of course it's a noble death, don't you remember?"

"Of course I do, but didn't you say to go at night?"

Yu Shaobai replied softly: "Before the questioning, we should always figure out the whole story, we can't just listen to the woman's words, there should be a record of today's court interrogation in the yamen." ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu was a little stunned, and went to the yamen with him, and the person they were going to find was named Liu Song, who was the criminal master of the county ya.

Yu Shaobai has only one general impression of the master, one word - thief, but he didn't know that there were five masters in this small Lanxi County, a total of nine master titles, names: Taxation Master, Marking Master, Zhu Mo Master, Finance and Taxation Master, and Folding Master, all of which can be part-time, and one person can do the work of several people. The following three kinds of masters can't: Master Qiangu, Master Shuqi, and Master Xingming, these three kinds of masters are particularly important. Master Qian Gu, to put it bluntly, earns money for officials, and the development of a department is inseparable from money, so he has a vital role. Master Shuqi drafted various documents and formulated laws. As for the criminal master, as the name suggests, it is related to the judgment of the case, and he assists the county in investigating the case on weekdays, so the case record is with him.

The two of them raised their legs and walked into a side room, and saw a long-bearded old man shaking his head and looking at the books in his hand, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he couldn't help but stop, and some were in a hurry, and the books in his hands accidentally fell to the ground.

Yu Shaobai looked at the illustrations in front of him that were inappropriate for children, his expression was a little weird, and the words "disrespect" for the old were really appropriate.

"Old Master Liu, it's so elegant. But pay attention to the body. Wu Zichu smiled and put the book on the table in front of him.

Liu Song coughed lightly with some embarrassment, and took the villain book into his arms, "Wu Gongzi, why do you have the time to come here today?" ”

"Young Master Ben came here and wants to ask the old master to borrow the transcript of today's opening of the court?"

"Opening transcript?" Hearing this, Liu Song looked at this Wu Zichu with some curiosity, how could the cynical young man on weekdays care about the case for no reason? Could it be that the previous statement was not that the county lord was lying, and this Wu Zichu was really obsessed with trying the case?

"Since the son wants to see it, then please wait a while, and the old man will go and get it." After a long time, Liu Song handed over today's opening transcript to Wu Zichu.

The two got the transcript and sat down at the table in the hall, Yu Shaobai saw these two files, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, today there was not only a case of noble being killed, but also a case of Zhang Aniu's theft, and the confession was even more puzzling, he had no motive for committing the crime, and when the Zheng family guards arrested him, he did not resist and was arrested.

And the other file is the case of Gao Gui being killed, before the execution, Gao Wang's noble wife Gao Wang said that the husband and his friend Fei Wei made an appointment to go to the lake opposite the door to enjoy the moon boat, Gao Gui Youmo had already gone out, until three o'clock in the hour, the boatman Xiao Lane came to knock on the door, asked where Gao Gui went, she didn't know, so she was going out to look for it, just came to the lake, and was arrested by the yacha. According to Fei Wei's words, he and Gao Gui made an appointment to meet at the ferry on the shore of the lake at two o'clock, where a black canopy boat they had set was parked, but when he came to the ferry at the agreed time, he did not see his friend, asked the boat family, and said that Gao Gui did not come, and after waiting for a while, he asked the boat family to go to Gao Gui's house and call Gao Gui to come, but he heard the news that his friend was missing, in order to prove his innocence, he hurriedly went to report to the official.

Seeing this, Wu Zichu's face was a little embarrassed, because the next thing was his father's words, because he heard that Gao Gui was not on good terms with his own lady, Wu Chun first put the object of suspicion on Gao Wang's family, and sent a messenger to arrest him, plus there were some rumors before, and she was charged with a partner and an adulterer, murdering her husband, and finally after the execution, Gao Wang's confessed to the crime of murdering her husband.

"Shaobai, what do you think?" Wu Zichu coughed awkwardly.

How can Yu Shaobai evaluate Wu Chun's approach, he can't count other fathers in front of his son, "This Gao Wang's confession before and after the torture is inconsistent, and the human and material evidence is insufficient, but the only evidence is gossip, which is likely to be tortured, in my opinion, this person is the biggest suspicious." ”

Wu Zichu followed the place where his finger was, and it was written: Fei Wei. "You're saying he's lying"?

"I'm really not sure about this, but I think Gao Wang's motive for killing is really reluctant, according to her words, Gao Gui went to the appointment, so the last person he saw before his disappearance is likely to be this friend Fei Wei, I don't know where this Fei Wei is now?"

Wu Zichu pointed to the west, "According to the usual practice, the witnesses are all in the detention center, should we go now?" ”

"No, let's go to the cell first to meet the Gao Wang clan and see if we can know something useful." Then the two returned the file to Master Liu, went out of the front yard together, and returned to the cell.

……

"Gao Wang, you still remember me." Yu Shaobai stood in the dimly lit cell, squatting down to look at the woman lying on the ground.

"Listen to them call you Yu Gongzi, you bodhisattva heart, you must save me, I am wronged." The woman hugged his feet, and the pitiful appearance even Wu Zichu on the side was a little unbearable.

"Eldest sister, you don't have to be like this, as long as you are wronged, Wu Gongzi and Zai Xia will definitely seek justice for you, you tell me what happened last night, what happened?"

……

After a long time when they came out of the cell, Yu Shaobai looked pensive.

"Shaobai, is this woman's words credible? What she said is the same as what we saw in the dossier. ”

Yu Shaobai also looked puzzled, according to Gao Wang's words just now, when her husband left the house, he also took away twenty taels of silver, could it be because these twenty taels of silver caused trouble? But the most incomprehensible thing for the two of them is that this noble father and mother died early, the family was poor, and the twenty taels of silver in Gao Wang's mouth was a huge amount of money, how did he get it? And even the Gao Wang clan himself didn't know the origin of the twenty taels of silver.

"Now there are more and more suspicions, and it seems that we need to go to the noble house."

Wu Zichu looked at the sky and hesitated: "It's dark, or forget it, it's not too late tomorrow." ”

"It's because it's more convenient to go at night, and it's not a good idea to let people see our whereabouts during the day, if you don't want to, I'll go by myself." With that, Yu Shaobai walked out.

"Brother-in-law, you wait for me, how can you be without my eldest brother."

……

Wu Zichu drove the carriage out of the city gate, stopped at the foot of the hillside on the shore of Ao Lake, jumped off the carriage, and Yu Shaobai could see a village not far away, that is, Dahu Village, where the noble people lived.

The two of them covered with black cloth, sneakily touched into the village, looking for the home in the mouth of the Gao Wang, and finally saw a couplet in the west of the village. This is the noble home, with grass on one earthen wall and a dilapidated wooden door.

Yu Shaobai jumped from the pile of grain and grass on the side to the wall, and before he could take a step, he was smashed to the ground by something falling from the sky.

Wu Zichu ...... Your uncle~" Yu Shaobai lay on the ground, stretched out his hand and pointed at the young man sitting on him, what kind of eyes did this guy have, this time he smashed enough.

"Brother-in-law, I'm really sorry, you're okay."

Yu Shaobai spit out the soil in his mouth, waved his hand helplessly, there was some pain in his chest, but he could bear it, signaled him not to make a sound, and the two crept to the door of the east house.

"What can I do if this door is locked? I had brought the wire with me. When Wu Zichu turned around and broke his thoughts, he didn't know that Yu Shaobai had already pushed the door in, this door was not locked at all, thinking about it, the official messenger came so suddenly, where did the Gao Wang clan still have the kung fu to lock the door, the courtyard door was still sealed by the official, and idlers were not allowed to enter.
