Lu Jinping had no clue because he had been thinking about it all night, so he actually wanted to find someone to talk to and distract himself. Sometimes deliberately thinking about one thing, thinking about it may not be a solution, but often inadvertently can find a wonderful solution. This is the method that Lu Jinping often adopts when encountering difficult problems. Divert your attention and give your brain a moment of rest. So when he met the villagers along the way, he always greeted them with a smile, and chatted for a while when he met those who talked a lot, asking about the family situation, asking about the harvest in the field, and chatting about nothing to ask.

He was strolling forward, when suddenly, the smell of feces and urine wafted in the cool breeze and clear air of the morning, and he couldn't help frowning. Ye Qingqing also smelled it next to him, and hurriedly whispered: "Sir, it seems that someone is digging dung, let's not go this way, it stinks to death, find another way." ”

Lu Jinping's body was shocked, and he slowly turned his head to look at her: "Qingqing, what did you just say?" ”

"Take another road, don't take this road."

"No, it's not this sentence, it's the words before this sentence, what are you talking about?"

"Earlier?" Ye Qingqing tilted his head and thought for a moment and said, "I'm talking about someone digging dung in front of me and it stinks to death." Walk in a different place. ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that? It's stupid. Lu Jinping hugged Ye Qingqing all of a sudden, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "My kiss Xiao Qingqing is really the smartest person in the world!" Hahaha, I know what's going on in this case, - go back! ”

Ye Qingqing was a little confused, and he kissed him in public, although it was his cheek, he was also very embarrassed. Looking around, there were a few villagers standing at a distance, looking at them with a smile. Of course. This kind of intimate in front of others is commonplace in modern society, but in ancient times, it was really rarer than dinosaurs.

Ye Qingqing saw Lu Jinping walking back with a smile, and hurriedly chased after him, saying, "What did you think of?" ”

"No need to ask. You'll find out in a moment. ”

Ye Qingqing didn't ask anymore and followed Lu Jinping back to the courtyard of the village.

Lu Jinping didn't let Mura Zheng follow when he went out before, Mura Zheng was really a little nervous, for fear that Lu Jinping would encounter something wrong in the village, and he was wandering around the yard like a headless fly, seeing Lu Jinping coming back with a smile, seeing his smiling face, Mura Zheng was a little relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome Lu Jinping to the hall with a smile.

Lu Jinping said: "We didn't drink very much yesterday. Because I have something in my heart. However, today's matter has almost been resolved, so I am in a great mood, let's put down the banquet again, and drink the unfinished wine from yesterday, I don't know what the village wants? ”

Muramasa couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, but it was just morning, and he hadn't even arrived for lunch yet. What kind of rule is this early morning drinking? However, it is rare for the judicial lord to be so interested. If you offer to drink, how can you not listen? The village hurriedly agreed, and ordered the kitchen to prepare the wine and food at once, and at the same time went to call the squires.

Those squires had a banquet last night, and although Lu Jinping was not happy, they got drunk one by one in order to do the best for the landlord. And in the morning, I heard from Muramasa that Lord Lu actually wanted to drink early in the morning. All of them were a little dumbfounded, these squires were almost forty or fifty years old, and they didn't drink very much, plus they were already drunk yesterday when they were bold to accompany each other. But the lord wants to continue the fierce battle, and his face is difficult. But the lord ordered that he should go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, not to mention drinking, it is not a big deal to be drunk again.

When the village was going to inform the squires to continue the banquet, Lu Jinping asked Ye Qingqing to guard the door of the bedroom where he lived and not allow anyone to enter, and after he entered the house, he closed the door and began forensic examination.

The test didn't take a lot of time and was quickly over. Lu Jinping looked at the test results, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a satisfied smile.

After Lu Jinping came out, he beckoned Ye Qingqing and whispered in his ear: "You immediately go to the toilet at the entrance of the village and keep guard, no one is allowed to approach, and close the door well, so as not to leave a gap." ”

Ye Qingqing didn't know why Lu Jinping asked her to guard the toilet at this time? But Lu Jinping must have a good intention in everything, so Ye Qingqing nodded, didn't ask anything, and walked out quickly.

After the village and the squire came one after another, the banquet began, and one dish after another was served.

When the banquet was placed on the table, several squires smelled the wine, but they frowned, not knowing how to swallow it. Lu Jinping laughed and said: "I was lazy and drank less yesterday, just because I was not in a good mood because of the things in the case." Today is different, I'm in a good mood. Seeing that you are not in good shape, you drank too much compared to last night. Okay, I'll have two drinks, you guys have one, how about it? ”

As soon as they heard this, those squires were taken aback, and thought that Lu Jinping was saying the opposite, blaming them for not being well accompanied yesterday, and looking embarrassed today, they quickly turned their hearts sideways, gritted their teeth, and smiled like rotten eggplants on their old faces. Holding the wine cup, he confessed again and again, saying, "The lord has one drink, and the younger ones have two drinks." Some heroes even patted their chests and said three cups.

Lu Jinping waved his hand and said: "I saw that you drank a lot yesterday, I saw it in my eyes, I have no energy today, and it is difficult for a strong man to ask you to drink so much." Now I want to drink, because I'm in a good mood, so I'm looking for you to be company, you just need to be company, you don't have to drink too much, so as not to hurt your body. Besides, I have something to tell you at noon, you can't get drunk, you can't see anything when you're drunk, just listen to me, I'll have two glasses, and you have one. ”

As soon as they heard Lu Jinping say this, and also said that they had something to tell them at noon, these squires knew that Lu Jinping was telling the truth, and they didn't dare to do it again. After Lu Jinping drank two cups, he dared to drink one cup, and he didn't dare to be greedy for more cups, for fear of delaying the matter at noon, but it would anger the lord.

Lu Jinping didn't want to get himself drunk one cup after another, but after drinking two glasses, he began to ask about some things in the village. Including their crops, the marriage of their sons and daughters, etc., they always pick the topics they are most interested in talking, and for a while, the room is full of conversation and laughter. These squires were a little restrained at first, but seeing that Lu Jinping was so modest and didn't have any official arrogance to talk to them, they all put down their burdens, opened the chatterbox, and chatted endlessly.

As the sun gradually rose, the temperature in the house became higher and higher, and after these people drank alcohol, it was even hotter, so they changed their clothes into short coats, and the servants held a big pu fan next to them and kept fanning, which seemed a little cooler, but as soon as the pu fan stopped slightly, the hot wind came to their faces, and it felt like they were in a steamer.

Lu Jinping didn't feel hot at all, but he was very interested in talking, and raised his glass from time to time to invite. We chatted until noon while drinking.

Lu Jinping saw that the sun outside the window had reached the top of his head, so he put the wine bowl down. He had already drunk fifty or sixty percent, and he was a little dizzy and drunk, and this feeling was just right. Lu Jinping said: "Okay, don't drink, let's get down to business." ”

Lu Jinping turned around and said to the village who was sitting next to him: "Do you have a fat pig of about 100 catties?" ”

Mura Zheng didn't know what Lu Jinping's purpose was when he suddenly raised this question, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "There are more than a dozen pigs in the family's pig pen, large and small. ”

"That's good, bring me a pig, it's about 100 catties, not too fat and not too thin, just right."

The village hurriedly agreed, and instructed the housekeeper to go to the pigsty and tie a fat pig weighing a hundred pounds with a rope to the legs, and the two servants carried it to the yard with a stick. Muramasa smiled and said, "Sir, the fat pig is ready." I asked a few servants to drive the carriage to the lord to the mansion? ”

Mura Zheng also thought that Lu Jinping had eaten their wine banquet, and felt that this pork was delicious, and the day before yesterday at the banquet, he said that it was raised by their family, presumably because the lord took a fancy to their pigs, so he proposed to send it to the house. Lu Jinping smiled and said, "I don't want to take it back, I'll use him for a test." You take it to the toilet where you found Shi Niang dead, and then tell everyone in the village to meet at the toilet, and I want to announce in public who the real culprit of this case is. ”

Muramasa couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he heard it, it turned out that the lord was so happy because he solved the case, but I don't know why he didn't arrest the murderer directly, but slowly drank until noon, and then announced who the murderer was, I don't know what the intention is. But he didn't dare to ask more, so he quickly ordered people to beat gongs and drums to pass instructions everywhere in the village, so that the villagers could go to the toilet of the vegetable farmer at the entrance of the village to listen to the lord's lecture.

Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing against the scorching sun on his head, and slowly walked towards the entrance of the village, feeling the heat wave rising from the ground, as if he was in a steamer. Hundreds of villagers gathered around the entrance of the village, talking incessantly about not knowing who the murderer was. And the father-in-law and mother-in-law of Shi Niang related to the case, that is, the husband and wife of Han Yuanwai, as well as the shopkeeper Jia and his son Jia Feng, as well as the owner of the latrine, the vegetable farmer, all gathered around the latrine, not daring to speak, and felt uneasy. I don't know if the terrible name of the murderer has fallen on my head. As long as the government recognizes who the murderer is, it is too easy to get him to confess the crime, and after a confession, the verdict can basically be concluded. Therefore, as long as it is determined that one of them is the murderer, then I am afraid that I will wait to go to the guillotine.

When I saw Lu Jinping pacing square steps and walking into the crowd with a team of wolf-like hunters, there was no blood on the faces of these people. Granny Han couldn't stand it, her legs trembled, and she slowly knelt on the ground. She knelt down, and several other people rushed to kneel down and kowtow, at this time the attitude determines everything, maybe the attitude is not good, and the government will identify it as a murderer, then there is no place to say wrongs.
