Zhang Wei glanced at him and continued: "In order to save money, you tried to get rid of your biological daughter Yujuan, but you couldn't do anything until Lu Si kept ** Yujuan and stared at the courtyard of your house when you came up with a solution. That night, you used the arsenic prepared in advance to fry Yujuan and served it to her, and then you excused yourself to go out, and Lu Si naturally ran into the house when he saw you leaving. At this time, Yujuan's medicinal properties had already begun to attack, but she still struggled to resist, and Lu Si naturally wanted to be rude. It didn't take long for the toxicity of arsenic to fully attack, Yujuan spat blood from her mouth, Lu Si mistakenly thought that she had killed Yujuan, and hurriedly wanted to escape, and you rushed back after calculating the time, and sent Lu Si to the yamen. As soon as you left, Luo Ying, who was lurking in the courtyard, hurriedly replaced Yujuan's body with Liniang. The purpose of this is to conclude that Yujuan was indeed strangled to death when the autopsy was performed, so as to let Lu Si be the scapegoat. Of course, for the sake of insurance, you asked Luo Ying to pretend to be Lu Si and buy arsenic in advance, so that once the first plan fails, then Lu Si still can't get rid of suspicion, and he still dies. ”

"Later, when I noticed the shoes on Liniang's corpse, I had doubts, and you saw my doubts. You were afraid that I would track it down, so you quickly adopted the second plan and ran to the yamen to say that it was not Yujuan's body. Then, Yujuan's body was found by the river, and I concluded that she was arsenic-free, so I naturally wanted to investigate the pharmacy, and sure enough, it was confirmed in the Rejuvenation Hall that Lu Si had bought arsenic, so that the murderer was naturally locked up by Lu Si, and he should be the scapegoat. I don't need to go into the details of what happened after that, right?" Zhang Jin sighed heavily.

Zhang Wei ordered someone to escort Zhang Jin down and announce the verdict tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the people stood in front of the yamen, and everyone scolded Zhang Jin, who was kneeling in the hall, while waiting for Zhang Wei's rebellion. However, Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the lobby, was not in a hurry to announce the verdict, and the officials were very anxious.

Li Tao asked people to bring a message to Zhang Wei and asked him to wait for him to arrive before announcing the verdict, but Li Tao naturally couldn't pronounce the verdict if he didn't come.

Just when everyone was waiting anxiously, Li Tao walked up to the lobby.

Li Tao glanced at Zhang Jin and sighed heavily: "Zhang Jin, what else do you have to say?"

“… I'm damned, I'm damned, I'm sorry Yujuan. Zhang Jin was in tears.

"You are sorry for her, you lost your conscience and murdered your own daughter, but Yujuan did not die in your hands, so you can avoid death, and you can only live in prison for the rest of your life."

Li Tao's words surprised the officials in the hall and the people outside the hall, and Zhang Jin also looked at Li Tao with a puzzled face.

"What's going on?" Zhang Wei asked.

Li Tao sighed and said, "It wasn't Zhang Jin who really killed Yujuan."

"W-Who is that?" Zhang Wei was extremely surprised.

Li Tao sighed and said, "I suddenly thought of something last night. Yujuan usually wears relatively shabby clothes, why did she put on a new dress that night? And, since she was lying in bed, why was she still wearing shoes? The arsenic is extremely medicinal and has a fast attack, why was she lying on the bed so calmly when Lu Si came in, without any signs of pain? I checked that the medicine she usually takes has arsenic in it. I found the residue outside the window of her room early this morning,"

"Li Xiaolangjun, what do you mean?"

"Yujuan is committing suicide!" Li Tao's words surprised the full hall again.

Li Tao said that Yujuan thought of suicide in order to stop dragging her father down, so she picked out the arsenic from the medicine every time and accumulated enough to commit suicide. That night, Zhang Jin brought her arsenic, but she didn't know it was arsenic, so she collapsed outside the window and poured her own arsenic into the bowl.

Zhang Jin was surprised: "This, this is impossible, it is impossible to ......"

Li Tao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "This is Yujuan's suicide note, I found it under her bed."

The paper reads: Dad, I decided to leave, arsenic is very bitter and poisonous, but I am not afraid, I will leave with a smile. That way it won't drag you down anymore. My daughter can no longer be filial to you, and in the next life, I will be your daughter, be a healthy daughter, and honor you well. I've already mended your winter clothes, so I'll put them in the closet and take care of myself. Father. The daughter is gone......

Zhang Jin screamed and collapsed to the ground. A few days later, Zhang Jin hanged himself in prison.

……

"Tao'er!" As soon as Li Longji saw Li Tao, he greeted him with a smile.

Li Tao teased Li Longji: "The third uncle is really high-spirited!" ”

Li Tao is right, Li Longji has been in a good mood recently.

Liang Dequan's three minions have been removed one after another, and now they are no longer able to support themselves. Yao Chong, Zhang Wei and Liu Zhiren became his right-hand men, and through the three of them, Li Longji had taken control of Luzhou in his own hands. He recruited talents in many ways and collected the hearts of the people, and even Liang Dequan, who used to be high-flying and domineering, became cautious when he saw Li Longji.

After Li Tao arrived in Luzhou, Li Longji's money was also much more abundant. In addition to the administration, he built a magnificent mansion, behind which there was a "Defeng Pavilion" and a road in the west of the pavilion to connect the "Shield Flower Dressing Building". Li Longji often enjoyed the scenery and wrote poems and commented on state affairs with Luzhou celebrities, staff members, and close friends here.

In addition, the most comfortable thing about Li Longji is getting acquainted with Zhao Lijuan. Li Longji has liked music and dance since he was a child, can write lyrics and compose music, and can play various musical instruments. Luzhou is an important military town, and the people are fierce, but they are not good at music, song and dance. It's okay to discuss current affairs with Zhang Wei, Yao Chong and others, ride horses and hunt, but when it comes to music, singing and dancing, it's playing the piano to the cow. Now that I can listen to Zhao Lijuan's singing every day, it is like hearing the sound of heaven, and Li Longji is bent on keeping her by his side. However, Li Longji already has two concubines, the main concubine Wang was born in a military attache family, and she is considered the daughter of Jiangmen, if Zhao Lijuan is brought home, in case it arouses the jealousy of the Wang family, it will not be beautiful. Fortunately, Li Tao bought a family business for Zhang Wei in Luzhou, and Zhao Lijuan, as Zhang Wei's sister-in-law, lived in Zhang's mansion. In this way, Li Longji will be more diligent when he goes to Zhang's mansion, and he will see friends and lovers, killing two birds with one stone.

All of this originated from Li Tao, who had already regarded this nephew as his lucky star.

"Tao'er, a great event!"

"Third uncle, but Yao Chong's side has already done it?" Li Tao guessed.

"Exactly!"

"Yao Sicang, is it really foolproof?" Li Tao looked at Yao Chong behind Li Longji.

Yao Chong didn't speak, just handed over two pieces of paper.

After Li Tao took it, he said to the two: "Let's go, let's talk inside!" ”

After the three of them sat down, Li Tao unfolded the paper and looked at it carefully, and the handwriting on the two sheets of paper was exactly the same.
