"Did you think of the murder in the locked room?" Yang Hongcai asked guessing her surname.

"I can't say it yet!" Feng Manlou stood up and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving, I'm in a hurry!" In my heart, I expected Yang Hongcai to say a word of saving, but I didn't expect Yang Hongcai to say: "Since this is the case, let's go and get busy first!" ”

Feng Manlou was stunned, how could this woman change so quickly, she really used herself as a toilet, she brought it up when she wanted it, and threw it aside when she didn't want it?!

But he seemed to have forgotten that it wasn't Yang Hongcai who called him.

As soon as Feng Manlou stepped out of the door, he saw Xiao Tao serving a bowl of chilled sour plum soup, and when he saw him, he said, "Uncle, don't you drink iced sour plum soup?" ”

Feng Manlou replied, "Not available! "The man is already gone.

Xiaoyun was waiting in the courtyard, and when he saw the wind full of buildings, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young master, I'm waiting for you." I've already had lunch here and have been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Go back!" ”

Seeing the young master's hurried appearance, Feng Xiaoyun knew that something big must have happened, so he hurriedly followed. I saw that although the young master was walking, his pace was very fast, and it was obviously much lighter than when he started to enter the door, it seemed that the young lady was a good medicine.

Feng Xiaoyun thought heartlessly, but he saw Feng Manlou blocking one or two carriages, and said to Feng Xiaoyun: "If you are still grinding, wait and run back!" ”

When Xiaoyun saw it, he hurriedly chased after him with an arrow and asked, "Young Master, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Looking for Liu Dutou!" Feng Manlou said.

Feng Xiaoyun touched his head and said, "Liu Dutou? "It feels inexplicable!

Although Yuhang County is relatively large, it is not as big as later generations. It is also a long way to reach the Yamen, especially when you get on the carriage, the speed is naturally faster, and in less than half an hour, you will arrive at the Yamen.

Feng Manlou thought to himself that he was probably the most unlucky magistrate, and those county lords on TV went out in a sedan chair. But when I go out by myself, I always walk, even if I take a carriage, I pay for it myself.

The coachman didn't know that Feng Manlou was the county master, thinking that he was going to the yamen on an errand, and when he saw Feng Manlou taking out twenty copper coins, he hurriedly went happily.

Feng Manlou walked in with a light step, directly from the gate of the county yamen, the official who stood guard at the door yesterday saw it, and hurriedly respectfully luggage, and couldn't help but panic in his heart, for fear that the old man would find him trouble. How do you know that Feng Manlou didn't see him.

I saw Feng Manlou enter the lobby, and then passed through the second hall to the wing room where the guest office was inside. At this time, Sun Hu had already arrested the jailer who was on duty at night yesterday from his home.

Seeing Feng Manlou, Sun Hu said worriedly: "My lord, you can bring more people when you go out in the future." Those bandits last night were obviously instigated. After brushing it down, you must not let the adult be left alone! ”

Although such words were said by a big man, and he said it very directly, but he was moved by the wind and said, "It's okay!" Rest assured! By the way, did the jailer ever ask for a confession? ”

Sun Hu hurriedly said: "Wei Xiancheng has already asked for a confession!" After speaking, he took out a confession: "This is the confession, I can't read, so I borrowed the confession from Diane, the master of the torture room!" ”

Feng Manlou took the confession, but asked casually: "When Wei Xiancheng asked for the confession, were you next to you?" ”

Sun Hu said: "Yes, my subordinates have always been by my side!" ”

Feng Manlou looked at it, it turned out that the jailer confessed that he went to Qi Fangzhai to buy food last night, and happened to meet his neighbor, but the kind neighbor didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly invited himself to drink, and the jailer was happy, so he drank two more glasses!

"Did the neighbor ask for a confession?" Feng Manlou asked.

Sun Hu said: "I asked, and the man said that Master Xiao Zhangxiao gave him money and asked him to accompany the jailer to drink!" ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, and he had guessed that ** was not far from ten, but it is still inconclusive who caused the poison. And almost at the same time, Xiao Zhang committed suicide in his room!

Then, it is difficult to conclude whether it was Xiao Zhang who instructed that person. If it was really Xiao Zhang, he also had this time, and then went home and committed suicide. Let's count it as suicide for the time being!

Feng Manlou listened to it and said, "What about that person, are you arrested now?" ”

Sun Hu said: "Dead! At that time, Wei Xiancheng and I found him, and after asking for a confession, we prepared to return. As soon as the official went up to lock him up, he saw that he was dead! ”

It's a violent death again, how could it be a violent death again for no reason? Feng Manlou suddenly felt that it seemed that things were not so simple.

Just as Feng Manlou was thinking, Wang Ying pushed the door outside and entered. It's not surprising. I saw Wang Ying walk to Feng Manlou's side and whisper a few words in his ear.

Feng Manlou immediately said: "Hurry up and invite him in, this county is looking for him!" ”

Wang Ying hurriedly brought people in, but it was Liu Dutou!

After Liu Dutou finished saluting, with a look of guilt on his face, he said: "My lord, my subordinates admit their mistakes to my lord!" ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment and said, "Admit your mistake? What's wrong? ”

Liu Dutou said: "Last night, my subordinates were optimistic about the prisoners, and the prisoners died violently, and the supervision was not strict, which is one of them. When the prisoner confessed, his subordinates did not let people tell the adults, which is the second mistake! ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "No, no, this county doesn't think that these are two mistakes!" But Liu Dutou, you are really wrong, do you know what is wrong? ”

Liu Dutou felt a pang in his heart, could it be that his mind was seen through by the county magistrate? But listening to Feng Manlou smiled: "Your mistake is to invite merit and reward!" But the county doesn't plan to pursue it, after all, Liu Dutou has also worked hard all night, and it's okay now! ”

Liu Dutou's heart trembled, the adult really guessed his thoughts, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, although the adult was smiling and grinning, but the ruthlessness in Hongbin Building yesterday, although he didn't see it at the time, but he had heard of it. And last night's trial of Zhang Xiaocai's thief was also a decisive person.

Thinking of this, Liu Dutou didn't hide it, and said: "It's all the subordinates' fault for dereliction of duty in order to get a confession and invite credit in front of adults!" When he had finished speaking, he knelt down.

Feng Manlou hurriedly helped him up and said: "Liu Dutou is tormenting this county, wheel age, you are more than ten years older than this county, wheel qualifications, you have been a poor person in Yuhang for more than ten years." And Liu Dutou also did his duty last night. What is the county's reason for blaming? I'm afraid that the county is in charge in person, and the murderer will also get into this loophole! ”

Liu Dufa said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your understanding!" Liu Jinbao knew that from this moment on, he was really the person who knew the county master. Now that Xiao Zhang is dead, at least for a while, his top boss is one less, and he is also the top boss who directly governs him, with the help of the county master, it will definitely be good for him!

"Liu Dutou, did we have an ice cellar in our yamen, where is it?" I only heard Feng Manlou ask.

Liu Dutou hurriedly said: "Yes, there is an ice cellar!" It is underground in the northeast corner of the yamen. ”

"Has anyone ever recorded or guarded the use of ice?"

Liu Dutou shook his head and said, "No, the ice cellar is a place where the kitchen chef takes ice cubes and stores ice cubes in winter!" There is no one to guard it, and it is not an important treasury! ”

Feng Manlou said: "Let's go, let's go and see!" ”

Feng Xiaoyun couldn't help but say, "Young Master, what are you looking at?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Look at the evidence!" "Yes, what Feng Manlou wants to see is the evidence of Xiao Zhang's murderer!

One sentence is inexplicable, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, in the world of Lord Feng, maybe only he knows what to do.

Outside the cellar was a wooden plank, Liu Dutou lifted the plank, only to see a cold air coming inside, in the summer, which was extremely comfortable.

Liu Dutou was about to take the lead and go in along the staircase. Feng Manlou hurriedly stopped: "Wait! "I first circled around the plank twice, but unfortunately, there was no trace of it, only a mess of footprints inside. Feng Manlou carefully identified it, there was mud all around, and now everyone has no footprints left, but if you come out of it, because there are traces of water, there are many footprints. Feng Manlou carefully checked all the footprints, and a relatively deep footprint immediately left an impression. Feng Manlou carefully measured it with his hands, and found that this footprint was exactly the same as the footprint found in Xiao's house, and he immediately felt at the bottom of his heart.

This footprint is relatively long, but it is also relatively thin, Feng Manlou said: "Have you paid attention to this footprint, if you guess correctly, it was left by Lieutenant Hu!" ”

Everyone was stunned, adults could tell from the footprints that it was left by Lieutenant Hu, which is also outrageous! But I heard Feng Manlou say: "There is a certain proportion between the footprints and the person's body, this footprint is thin and long, it is obvious that it is a thin and tall, and in our yamen, only Hu Weishan is thin and tall." Liu Dutou, wait a minute, draw this footprint exactly the same size. Also, inform the kitchen that no one is allowed to approach the ice cellar without an order from the official! ”

Liu Dutou agreed, and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

After Feng Manlou entered the ice cellar, he carefully examined it, but there were no clues left. The footprints inside were so disorganized that it was impossible to distinguish how many there were. And the ground has been very muddy because of the fact that the ice has turned into water.

But the ice cubes caught their attention, and these ice cubes were all in pieces, and the final ones were less than three or five centimeters. This is not surprising, because there is not much snow in Yuhang in winter, and these ice cubes, which are Wulun ice cubes in the rivers and lakes paddy fields, are not thick.

However, traces of ice were found, and they turned out to be traces of chopping with a knife and an axe. Feng Manlou tried to take off the penultimate one on it, but found that the ice cubes had solidified together to form a whole, but the imprints could still be seen piece by piece, but they were no longer separated. Feng Manlou checked here, and smiled slightly in his heart, naturally he had an idea!

At this moment, a small guy outside suddenly shouted: "My lord, my lord, Lord Wei invites my lord to discuss things!" "This little guy is running errands in the county government, and he can't even count as a small official, so he is very efficient, because it is related to the job!
