"That Zhang butcher lives three miles outside the east gate of the city, and there is a hundred-year-old locust tree there all the way forward, and you will definitely hear the pig cry when you get to the old locust tree. www.biquge.info The woman thought for a moment, and then said.

"Thank you, Auntie."

After Le Wen thanked the woman, he followed the woman's instructions and walked for about a stick of incense to the foot of a hundred-year-old locust tree.

"Woo...... Whew......"

As soon as he came to the old locust tree, he heard the miserable sound of killing pigs, and Lewen followed the sound of killing pigs to a stinky pigsty.

He saw a vicious-looking butcher killing a pig with a knife, and the pig's blood splashed all over him.

The butcher saw that Lewen was watching him kill pigs, and asked with some confusion, "What are you looking at?" ”

"It's Qi Jingsheng's old acquaintance below, I don't know if Your Excellency is a whole butcher?" Lewen arched his hand to the butcher and said.

"Old knowledge? Do you have anything to do with me? Zhang Butcher looked at Lewen suspiciously, and then asked.

"Oh, I heard that you and Qi Jingsheng often come and go, I don't know what your relationship is?" Lewen asked noncommittally.

"Hehe, what's the relationship? I'm childhood friends with him, huh? What is this for, you ask? Zhang Butcher was puzzled.

"Childhood Friend...... Then do you know that Qi Jingsheng is dead now? Lewen said bluntly, wanting to see what the expression of this whole butcher would have.

As soon as Zhang Butcher heard that Qi Jing was alive and dead, he showed a very strange expression, and without thinking about it, he picked up the knife stained with pig blood and wanted to cut Lewen.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

Le Wen saw that Zhang Butcher's actions were completely beyond his imagination, and hurriedly dodged back, although he was carrying a black gold sword, but the matter was not clarified, he could not rashly hurt the innocent, the black gold sword sharpened iron like clay, and if he was not careful, he could hack Zhang Butcher to death.

If this Zhang butcher knew that Le Wen was an official, even if he borrowed a few guts, he would not dare to cut Le Wen, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, civilians dared to use knives against officials, whether they were injured or not, it would be a dead end.

"You, who have suffered a thousand cuts, dare to curse my good brother, you can't find death!" Zhang Butcher scolded while chasing Lewen.

"Alas, wait, listen to me." Lewen broke out in a cold sweat, this guy is pretending, or is he really on good terms with Qi Jingsheng.

When Zhang Butcher heard Lewen's shout, he stopped, held a knife in his hand, pointed at Lewen and scolded: "You can make it clear today, if you talk nonsense, I will slaughter you as a pig today." ”

Le Wen looked at this Zhang butcher with a very unreasonable look, and really wanted to beat him up, but now he wanted to handle the case, so he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his abdomen, and said lightly: "What I am saying below is the truth, your friend Qi Jingsheng was indeed killed last night, and then his head was also cut off." ”

"What...... Is it? Seeing that Lewen was not like nonsense, Zhang Butcher stood in place for a long time, two tears unconsciously flowed out of the corners of his eyes, and slowly said, "What about his current corpse?" ”

"The body is in Renqiu City, but the government has not announced it to the public yet." Lewen looked at Zhang Butcher's sad expression and the reaction just now, it didn't look like a fake, and said lightly.

"Since it wasn't announced, how did you know that? Could it be ......" Zhang Butcher seemed to know something, and stared at Lewen in disbelief and said.

"Yes, this official is a Shanghai inspection envoy, but this case is involved in this official, and the government asked this official to solve the case within a limited time." Lewen didn't want to hide anything anymore, so he told the truth directly.

"Shanghai Inspector?" Zhang Butcher scratched his scalp, still wondering where Shanghai was, he had heard of it for the first time, but the inspection made him know, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The little people don't know that the adults have arrived, and they also cut the adults with knives, please make the small people a capital crime." ”

Le Wen waved his hand and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, you get up, this official is here to ask you something." ”

Seeing that Le Wen didn't blame him, Zhang Tuhu got up and said, "Thank you, Lord for forgiving Xiaomin, I don't know what the Lord commands, Xiaomin must know everything." ”

"Well, do you know if Qi Jingsheng has any enemies?" Lewen nodded and said lightly.

"Enemies?" Zhang Butcher lowered his head and thought for a moment, then remembered the conversation he had with Qi Jingsheng a few days ago, and patted his head and said, "Eh, I haven't heard of it, but he mentioned something to me a few days ago?" ”

"What's the matter? Say it. Lewen asked eagerly.

Zhang Butcher thought for a while, and then said: "I heard him say a few days ago that he wanted to propose to the little daughter of the Li family in the east of Renqiu City, but there is a family that also likes the little daughter of the Li family, but the little daughter of the Li family does not look down on that family, she is interested in Qi Jingsheng, who she has known since she was a child, and the family is very dissatisfied with this after learning about it, and because of this, there were some quarrels with Qi Jingsheng, and the two almost fought. ”

"Oh? Do you know who that family is? Lewen seemed to have found some clues, and hurriedly asked.

"It seems to be a person named Wei Zou, this person has always bullied men and women, and he is used to being powerful, and he never sees others in his eyes." Butcher Zhang said in a deep voice.

"Well, then you go to Renqiu City with the official, go back to the county office, and you make a confession with the official." Lewen saw that things had some eyebrows, and said to Zhang Butcher.

"Okay, adults wait for Xiaomin first, and Xiaomin will go and change his clothes and lock the door first." Zhang Butcher nodded in agreement, and went into the house to change clothes.

On the way to Renqiu City, Le Wen learned that this Zhang butcher and the deceased Qi Jingsheng had always had a good relationship, and later because he did not have enough places to raise pigs in the city, and the noise of killing pigs caused the nearby residents to complain, so he moved to live outside the city.

Although he moved outside the city, the two still come and go often, the two of them were still playing together two days ago, but they didn't expect to be separated by yin and yang in a blink of an eye, which made him sigh, Qi Jingsheng's death hit him hard, like losing an arm, which is regrettable.

Lewen is also bitter, he is a passerby, and he has such a case for no reason, if he hadn't been a patrol inspector, I'm afraid he would have been punished a long time ago, where is his turn to have any defense, and he was allowed to be a suspect and come out to solve the case.

The Song County Order didn't think that Lewen was a patrol envoy, so he was more lenient than others, but it was precisely because Lewen was the identity of the inspector that he wanted Lewen to investigate the case, because the Song County Decree was just a corrupt Confucian, and most of the ancient people were nerds who read Baguwen to death.

The first good thing is that he also thinks that this matter is strange, and the murderer is not like Lewen and them, and Lewen is an official, not a grass people, so he can't do things hastily, he must let Lewen have nothing to say before he can take Lewen to justice.

The second best thing is that if Lewen can successfully solve the case and find out the real murderer, then the credit will go back to Song County, if Lewen can't find the real murderer, then Lewen and they can only be scapegoats.
