With Li Zhong in charge, Feng Manlou's heart stabilized, and the most important thing was that those officials and Liu Dutou were finally no longer afraid of Xiao Zonghua. At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly marvel in my heart, it seems that Lian Han Wang Ye was shocked, this Lord Feng seems to be not small, the background is very tough, and Feng Manlou has always been kind to people, and suddenly everyone's impression of Feng Manlou is very good.

Feng Manlou said: "The second case is the case of Lord Xiao Zhang's suicide!" ”

Hu Weishan said: "Since they all said that they committed suicide, what else is there to investigate?" The Yamen has already prepared a file! ”

How do you know that Feng Manlou said word by word: "Wrong! Lord Xiao Zhang's death is not suicide, but murder! ”

Hu Weishan asked, "How can you be sure?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "When we first saw Lord Xiao Zhang's corpse, there were three knife wounds on his body. And the fatal knife wound was in the chest. The other two stab wounds, the wounds were very deep! The official really can't think of why a person who committed suicide would stab himself three times? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but ask themselves, yes, why?

Feng Manlou continued: "This case, let's start from the beginning, the time is still back to that night, that day, Lord Hu, Lord Xiao Zhangxiao, Lord Qian and Lord Wei, as well as the two masters, after you left from Hongbin Building, you did not go home immediately, but went to Qi Fangzhai!" ”

Everyone has admitted this matter, and they all nodded along with it!

"Then, in the process of Qi Fangzhai eating, Master Hu left for a while, that's for sure! Lord Wei, Lord Qian, or Lord Hu, you have already lied just now. Feng Manlou said.

No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, he continued: "What did Master Hu do when he left the banquet, I believe everyone is very curious!" The official was also very curious, so the official secretly visited and found that Master Hu had returned to the county office. But what do you do when you go back to the county office? ”

Feng Manlou continued: "Actually, at the beginning, Lord Hu probably wanted to go back to the county government and confess to that gangster Zhang Xiaocai, after all, how did Lord Hu accumulate prestige for many years, and he still has some popularity in the yamen, so if he wants to hide from his own official, he can still achieve it!" The implication of the wind full of buildings is self-evident, it is nothing more than that someone has covered for him.

"As for what he confessed with that gangster Zhang Xiaocai, it must be said that if you can't stand the criminal law, you will confess if you want to confess, but you must confess at the behest of Lord Xiao Zhang. also agreed that before confessing, let Zhang Xiaocai order Qi Fangzhai's food. In this way, as long as Zhang Xiaocai ordered Qi Fangzhai's food, Master Hu would know that the guy was going to confess! And the murderer who confessed at this moment, whether it is wronged or true, must be Xiao Zhang! ”

Hu Weishan was shocked and asked, "Impossible!" The official has been at the banquet, where is the time to leave? Can't just rely on the words of the shop's little two and three! ”

Feng Manlou said: "You want evidence, don't you?" After speaking, he said hello like Liu Dutou, but saw Liu Dutou presenting a large piece of rice paper, with some imprints on it.

Feng Manlou took it and said, "This is the evidence that you went back to the county yamen." Because after you and Zhang Xiaocai finished their confessions at that time, you had already come up with a plan to kill people and destroy your mouth! The first is to kill Zhang Xiaocai and kill his mouth, and the second is to kill Xiao Zhang! ”

"Kill Zhang Xiaocai to extinguish your mouth, you are using poison to let the neighbor of Zhang Xing, the jailer who bought food, change the wine jar! Let's talk about this later, let's talk about Lord Xiao Zhang's case! When you thought of killing Lord Xiao Zhang, you thought of a series of plans, so you went to the ice cellar of the Yamen and took some ice cubes! Feng Manlou said.

Hu Weishan shouted loudly: "Joke, can you kill people by taking ice cubes?" What does this official do with ice? ”

Feng Manlou said, "What do you do with ice cubes?" Next, this official will answer for you. However, this official has evidence to prove that you, Master Hu, must have come back to the ice cellar at that time, so it can be concluded that you are the county official who returned at that time! ”

"What evidence?" Hu Weishan asked.

"Everyone, please see, this is the imprint taken by the official and Liu Dutou outside the ice cellar of the county government at that time, everyone can see that there are many footprints in it, but they are all footprints when the kitchen helpers took the ice. But there's one footprint that's special, yes, this one! "Feng Manlou only showed everyone.

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, there was a footprint that was different, and Feng Manlou said: "This is the footprint of Master Hu!" It's all taken down in exactly the same proportions as reality. Lord Hu, can you give it a try? ”

Hu Weishan said: "The official admits that it is the footprints of the official. However, how do you know that the official was left at night, and didn't he stay in the afternoon? ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "This is easy to understand, first of all, the official asks everyone, do you usually go to the ice cellar?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, except for the kitchen helpers, and some handymen who went to fetch ice, like these old men, they wouldn't go to that kind of place at all, what kind of place was that? Because of the ice, there was water everywhere outside, mud was all over the ground, and if you accidentally got your boots and pants dirty, these officials definitely didn't want to go.

Feng Manlou said: "Everyone is not going, so, does it mean that as long as anyone goes once, they will definitely be seen by everyone and remembered?" But isn't it strange that Master Hu was not seen? The most important thing is that the official went to check the footprints at noon the next day. The footprints of the previous afternoon, after the previous day's sun, had begun to harden. And the footprints left in the evening are much softer than the footprints in the afternoon! ”

Hu Weishan said: "Since you also said that it was noon the next day, then they were all footprints in the sun, how can you tell them?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "It's very simple! Footprints in the afternoon, because of the extra afternoon, the soil has dried thoroughly. As for the footprints at night, because the sun only gets the sun the next day, the soil on the footprints is only a layer on the surface. When the official inspected, he found that Lord Hu's footprints were a layer of skin on the surface, so he determined that Lord Hu was the county official who came back at night. So, you're all lying! ”

Xiao Zonghua listened to it and felt that it was very reasonable, not only very reasonable, but also should be a fact, and people had already come up with evidence. Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked pretendedly: "Why are you lying if you don't say it quickly?" ”

Hu Weishan's mind was anxious, and he said: "Even if we lie, I went back to the county government and took ice cubes at that time!" But that poison was not ordered by the official, and there is no clear evidence! ”

Wei Zhongshu cursed in his heart, why is this damn Hu Weishan so stupid? The evidence of poison, people only need to prove that Wang San's words are true!

Qian Weilun's face also began to darken, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Feng Manlou didn't pay attention to Hu Weishan at all, but said: "At that time, Master Hu, you took the ice cubes, returned to Qi Fangzhai, and when you arrived at Chef Zhang Wenhua's kitchen, you took the chef's knives!" Then he put down the poison of the wine jar, and at this moment, he met the neighbor of the jailer Zhang Xing, so he instructed Zhang Xing's neighbor to replace the wine that Zhang Xing bought, and used this poisoned wine to poison Zhang Xiaocai! ”

Hu Weishan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said, "This is simply impossible!" Didn't you just keep saying that there was no evidence? These are all what the king said! ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "What is Lord Hu nervous about? The official hasn't finished talking yet! ”

Hu Weishan felt that the situation was getting worse and worse, and said, "What else is there to say?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "After Lord Hu did these things at that time, he returned to the banquet as if nothing happened, and then it didn't take long for the banquet to disperse, because Lord Hu, the time you delayed outside was indeed too long!" ”

At that time, everyone dispersed. Master Xiao Zhang drank a little too much, and his steps were a little staggering. However, Master Hu, you also drank a lot! Feng Manlou said.

Don't give evidence this time, just listen to Wei Zhongshu say: "At that time, Master Hu really drank a lot and walked staggeringly. Of course, Lord Xiao Zhang also drank a lot, it should be more than Lord Hu! ”

Feng Manlou consulted the people present at the time, and they all admitted Wei Zhongshu's statement.

"Do you know why Master Hu drinks so much? Because wine is intimidating! Lord Hu has one more thing, that is, to assassinate Lord Xiao Zhangxiao! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was immediately surprised! It turned out that Xiao Zhang did not commit suicide, but he killed, and the person who killed him was actually Hu Weishan? One side of the story, no evidence, everything in vain!

Feng Manlou continued: "That night, Lord Xiao Zhangxiao returned home, because he was a little tired from drinking, and knew that someone might go to him that night to discuss some things, so he didn't eat and went back to the study directly!" ”

Speaking of this, Feng Manlou glanced at everyone, and then said: "At that time, Mrs. Xiao didn't pay attention either. Not long after Lord Xiao Zhang went back, less than three watches, Lord Hu went to Lord Xiao Zhang's house! ”

Hu Weishan hurriedly quibbled loudly: "Nonsense, who of us colleagues, who doesn't know, Lord Xiao Zhang's guard dog is very powerful, and he can't stop shouting when he encounters outsiders!" It is impossible for this official to go in and not be noticed! ”

Feng Manlou said: "Yes, when you meet outsiders, of course you will shout non-stop, but when you meet an acquaintance, the dog will not bark." This official personally confirmed this to Mrs. Xiao! Because you often go to Xiao Mansion to look for Lord Xiao Zhang, that dog is already very familiar with you when he sees you, and he can't bark at all! ”

"And then, of course, you go in through the side door, because after the side door you go in, it's the study. And Xiao Zhang, Master Xiao, was in the study, and you saw that the light was on in the study at that time, so he knocked on the door and welcomed you into the study! Feng Manlou continued.

"And then?" Liu Dutou couldn't help but ask, seeing that the show was coming.

Later, after Master Hu went in, he talked to Lord Xiao Zhang. Slowly went around Xiao Zhang's back, and suddenly, one hand covered Xiao Zhang's mouth so that he couldn't shout, and with the other hand, he stabbed Xiao Zhang twice with a knife stolen from Qi Fangzhai's kitchen! Feng Manlou said.

Liu Dutou asked: "Didn't you say that the fatal wound was in the chest, but three knives, how could it be two knives?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Yes, it is indeed three knives. Because it was in the direction of stabbing back, therefore, the two knives in front of him were very powerful and stabbed very deeply, and after these two knives, Xiao Zhang had lost the ability to resist, and he was already paralyzed on the ground. At this time, Hu Dacai took advantage of the situation and stabbed Xiao Zhang's heart, making Xiao Zhang completely breathless! ”

Liu Dutou asked: "Wasn't the door closed at the scene at that time, how did Master Hu escape?" If you escape, how can you still bolt the door from the inside? ”
