"Oh, where does your brother go to sell brushes?" Yang Xiuzhi looked at the paper and asked casually, Xiao Lizi knelt down and replied: "If you go back to adulthood, my brother is to traffic brushes in Shanyang (in the territory of Liang Kingdom) in Northern Yanzhou." ”

"It turned out to be a cross-trade, did he have a huge amount of money?" Yang Xiuzhi continued to ask. "This time the brush doesn't have much money, just a few dozen taels of silver." Xiao Lizi replied truthfully.

"Have you ever had a grudge against anyone in business?" Yang Xiuzhi asked without relaxation. Xiao Lizi knelt down and thought for a long time and replied seriously: "If you go back to the adult, the villain and the elder brother are honest people, and they rarely quarrel with others, let alone make enemies. ”

Yang Xiuzhi began to think about it, this matter seemed to be an ordinary case of missing persons, so he said: "In this way, I will first send a messenger to follow your brother's traces to inquire, you go back first and wait for my news, this matter is not in a hurry, maybe your brother just delayed the trip for other reasons or is still doing other business in the Liang Kingdom." "After that, I plan to send a sign and send the officials out.

The little Li Zi said with great certainty: "My lord, my brother can't still be in the territory of Liang Kingdom, I have already asked someone to check out the receiver, and they said that my brother will settle the bill and leave on the same day." It's certainly not possible to do anything else. Something must have happened to him. ”

Yang Xiuzhi looked at him very suspiciously and asked, "Why are you so sure that your brother had an accident?" Don't speculate and wait for my news. ”

Xiao Lizi got up very sadly and said goodbye and left. The errand officer also went out to inquire about the traces of the merchant Ang Lee along the way.

Xu Ming stepped forward and said with a smile: "How Lord Yang, you said that all the official affairs will be done in one day." It seems that you are not done yet, and you are going to be punished. ”

Yang Xiuzhi was a little surprised that he would say this, and then retorted: "Lord Xu Mingjian." This case is not a case that I have not dealt with for a long time, it was the people who took the initiative to ask me to solve it after learning that I started working, how can it be counted in the old accounts before? ”

Xu Mingzhi still wanted to reason with him, Gao Huan stopped him with a smile, and said to Yang Xiuzhi: "What Lord Yang said is right, but I don't think the case just now is just an ordinary case of missing people." How did you put so much effort into dealing with it? Gao Huan wanted to ask this question for a long time, and Yang Xiuzhi was able to solve the problem very quickly.

Yang Xiuzhi smiled at this "Shuzuo" gentleman. said: "At first, I thought it might be an ordinary case, but my intuition tells me that this matter should not be so simple, I don't believe that we will wait for the return of the official later." ”

Gao Huan also said indifferently: "Okay, anyway, Lord Xu is just idle these days." Why don't we go here with Assassin Shi to see how Lord Yang solved this 'big case'. Xu Mingzhi heard Gao Huan say this. Immediately patted the horse and said: "What Mr. said is very true, let's see how Lord Yang handles this ordinary case of missing persons. ”

The assassin Shi is bitter and can't say it, Xu Mingzhi is a character who can't afford to offend, and this Yang Xiuzhi makes him feel at ease all the time, for fear that he will make some jokes or accidents.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiuzhi's child, Ah Taishoufu, was sleeping in the backyard of the mansion, and Yu Tong came to knock on the door: "My lord, get up quickly, the official who went out to look for yesterday has brought back important news." ”

When Yang Xiuzhi heard this, he jumped up on the bed like a carp. hurriedly put on his clothes and pants and came to the lobby of the front hall, only to see the team leader greet him. He said softly: "My lord, something happened, yesterday we went out to look for Li An's traces, and found a headless corpse in a dry well twenty miles east of the city. ”

Yang Xiuzhi actually showed a look of joy on his face when he heard this, and then thought that this was not good, so he changed his face and asked, "Where is the corpse now?" The head of the official squad replied: "I still have my subordinates staring at it in the dry well, and I will run back to report to you." ”

"Okay, good job, let's go, take me to see the corpse." Yang Xiuzhi asked Yutong to prepare the carriage, turned around and said to the team leader: "Call Xiao Lizi together and let him identify the body." ”

When the group came to the dry well outside the city, there were already good people watching, and the officials opened all the areas around the dry well within ten steps, and did not let people in, so as not to destroy the scene. Yang Xiuzhi and Xiao Lizi came to the well, Yang Xiuzhi looked down and saw that there was indeed a corpse at the bottom of the dry well, so he ordered the team leader to let the corpse be salvaged.

It took a long time to drag the corpse out of the well, Yang Xiuzhi personally stepped forward to check, only to see that the corpse had begun to decompose, the clothes were full of bloodstains, and the hands curled up behind the back should be the traces of being tied up before death, and the body was thrown here after the killing. Yang Xiuzhi then shouted loudly: "What are you doing? ”

A little old man who was not tall hurriedly ran forward with a box on his back and returned: "The villain is here, what is the matter with the big man calling the small?" Yang Xiuzhi took the handkerchief of Guo Tong and covered his nose and said, "Quick, check the cause of this person's death." He turned around and said to Xiao Lizi: "Come and see if this person is your brother Li An?" ”

When Xiao Lizi heard this, he limped closer and cried loudly: "My brother, you died so miserably, I beg the adult to call the decision for the little one, and I must find out the murderer to avenge my brother." ”

Yang Xiuzhi looked at him a little incredulously and asked, "This corpse doesn't even have a head, how can you recognize him as your brother Li An at a glance?" ”

Xiao Lizi wiped her tears and said: "This dress was made by my sister-in-law for my brother personally, and other families can't buy it, so the villain recognizes this dress, and it's sure that this person is my own brother Li An." ”

Yang Xiuyi felt that it made sense, and he stopped talking. Xiao Lizi couldn't stop crying on the side, looking very sad. After a while, he stepped forward and replied, "My lord, the inspection has been completed." Yang Xiuzhi then said: "Oh, okay, then tell me about the cause of this person's death." ”

"Back to my lord, this man died of blunt force cuts, the main cause of death was that his head was cut off, we found no other wounds on his body, and no signs of poisoning were found, and the time of death may be within ten to fifteen days, according to the signs of bleeding on the body and the traces of drag around him. It is estimated that he was killed and dumped in a dry well. The conclusion reached by the pretendence was basically similar to Yang Xiuzhi's own thoughts.

Yang Xiuzhi hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else on the deceased?" Like a money bag or something? As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to the corpse and said, "Yes, there is a money bag around the waist of the deceased." There were a few taels of broken silver in it, and there was a sixty taels of silver in his arms. ”

"In this way, it shouldn't be a murder for money, and since it's not a vendetta, could it be a love killing?" Yang Xiuzhi thought secretly in his heart. So he got a carriage and dragged the corpse back to Yizhuang for burial, turned back to Xiao Lizi and said, "Does your brother like women outside?" ”

Xiao Lizi asked with a blank face, "Why do adults ask like this?" My brother and my sister-in-law are very affectionate, how can they mess with flowers and grass outside? But since you asked, my lord, I have one thing in mind. Saying that, Xiao Lizi seemed to have prepared it in advance from his arms. took out a folding fan and handed it to Yang Xiuzhi.

Yang Xiuzhi took the folding fan and opened it to see that there was a love poem written on the folding fan, and the writing was average. But the person named Shen Xiaozhi is a person named Shen Xiaozhi, this person Yang Xiuzhi knows a little bit about it, he is a native of Lintong County, and he thinks he has some talent. Usually behaves frivolously and boldly. So Yang Xiuzhi asked strangely: "Why is this thing in your hands?" ”

Xiao Lizi said with a somewhat smug look: "This is what I accidentally picked up at my door." It is estimated that Shen Xiaozhi fell in love with my sister-in-law and wanted to use it to seduce her. My lord, do you think my brother's case has anything to do with this person? ”

Yang Xiuzhi didn't speak, and thought silently in his heart: "Could it be that things in the world are really so coincidental?" "Immediately returned to the Taishou Mansion, without saying a word, first sent officials to Yu County to bring Shen Xiaozhi over.

In the middle of the hall sat the dignified Yang Xiuzhi, next to Xu Mingzhi and Lord Thorn Shi, behind Gao Huan and Gao Zhongming stood side by side, and the officials on both sides saw Shen Xiaozhi being brought in, and shouted: "Wei ~~~ Wu ~~~." This Shen Xiaozhi still looked confused, looking at the masters in the hall at a loss.

Yang Xiuzhi was shocked and scolded loudly: "Who is below, why don't you kneel down when you see this official and all the adults?" Shen Xiaozhi was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground with a thud. His head was like pounding garlic, and he said with words in his mouth: "Student Shen Xiaozhi has seen all the masters. ”

Yang Xiuzhi asked him to get up and reply, and asked again, "Shen Xiaozhi." Let me ask you, do you know Ang Lee, a merchant in this county? Shen Xiaozhi thought for a long time before he replied affirmatively: "If you go back to adulthood, the student doesn't know any Li An's person." ”

"Okay, so do you recognize who this person is?" Yang Xiuyi pointed to the little plum on the side and asked him, Shen Xiaozhi looked carefully, the little plum raised his head and looked at him, and after a while, Shen Xiaozhi replied: "Hui Yu, the student doesn't know him." Hearing his words, the kid immediately retorted loudly: "My lord, he lied, and I called him at the temple fair last month, but he said he didn't recognize me." My lord, he lied. ”

Shen Xiaozhi was about to argue, but Yang Xiuzhi opened his mouth and said to Xiao Lizi: "Don't make noise first, there is a master in the court, and I will preside over justice for you." Then he turned to Shen Xiaozhi and said, "Do you recognize such a thing?" With that, he took out the folding fan from before and let the messenger open it in his hand and let Shen Xiaozhi see it.

Shen Xiaozhi stepped forward and looked at it carefully for a long time before he spoke: "Back to the master, this fan is a student, but it was lost a long time ago, how can it appear here." ”

Yang Xiuzhi felt that this Shen Xiaozhi looked weak and timid, as timid as a mouse. But his answers to his questions are not chaotic at all, which shows that his psychological tolerance is very strong, or he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. So he was shocked and scolded loudly: "Okay, you Shen Xiaozhi, you still dare to deny it if you have human and physical evidence?" Let me ask you, was Li An, a merchant in this county, killed by you? ”

Shen Xiaoyi said with a blank face: "The adult has wronged the student, I didn't kill anyone, and besides, I don't know Li An or anything, why should I kill him?" ”

"Okay, you Shen Xiaozhi still dare to deny it, and pass Li An's wife to the court." Yang Xiuzhi plans to call people over and confront them face to face, now it's up to him how he defends!

After a while, Ang Lee's wife brought it up, although this was twenty-five or sixteen years old, she was plump, beautiful, and had a pair of beautiful eyes that were very attractive, and she was really a beautiful woman full of charm. Yang Xiuzhi was even more sure that Shen Xiaozhi coveted the beauty of and killed Ang Lee.

Seeing Shen Xiaozhi staring at the in a daze, Yang Xiuzhi shouted: "Bold fanatic, do you recognize who she is?" Everyone thought that the zodiac commander denied it and did not admit it, but he nodded and said, "The student recognizes her." ”

Yang Xiuzhi suddenly felt that the case had been solved, so he asked, "Then can you admit that you have an adulterous affair with this?" Not to mention Shen Xiaozhi, even the were shocked, and the two of them knelt down and shouted wronged.

It turns out that this's maiden family is from Yu County, and since marrying Li An, there are few days when she goes home to visit relatives, but the monthly Yu County temple fair is bound to go to this, one is to buy something to eat for her parents, and then to buy some application things for Li An and Xiao Lizi.

At last month's temple fair, MILFs unfortunately met Shen Xiaozhi and others, this Shen Xiaozhi is also damn to see that she has a bit of a posture, so he stepped forward and said a few words, but he was seen by Xiao Lizi who followed all the way, mistakenly thought that the two had an adulterous relationship, and said that a brother Li An listened, Li An didn't believe it, this little Li Zi was at the root of the disease, and monitored his sister-in-law's whereabouts every day.
