Chapter 153: The Cook's Death Is Abnormal
"Brother Zuo, don't worry, I have secretly collected evidence of his crimes, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is coming." Li Canghai exuded a sense of confidence and said indifferently.
Zuo Hongji looked at him with an unfathomable feeling, scratched his head, and asked, "Brother Li, what is Dongfeng?" ”
Li Canghai smiled slightly and said, "When the east wind comes, you will know." Brother Zuo, I still have important things to do, so I left first. In addition, there will be a team of darts to escort 300 loads of grain, and I hope that Brother Zuo will receive it on behalf of him. ”
"Brother Li, don't worry, this matter is on me." Zuo Hongji patted his chest and said.
After separating from Zuo Hongji, Li Canghai went to Wang's house.
Before he could reach Wang's house, a person suddenly ran out of it in a hurry, and the man was in a hurry, and he almost collided with him.
When Li Canghai saw that person, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Butler, you are in such a hurry, what happened?" ”
"Hey, Li Gongzi, you are here, something is wrong! Again, someone is dead! The butler grabbed his hand and hurriedly said, "My lord is about to ask me to find you!" ”
Hearing that another murder had occurred, Li Canghai's face tightened, and he hurriedly followed him in, asking as he walked, "Who died this time?" ”
The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, it's the cook." ”
"Cook?" Li Canghai's heart sank, and he hurriedly quickened his pace.
In front of the kitchen of the Wang family, a lot of maids and servants gathered, and they gathered together to talk in a whispered voice, while Wang Buquan held his hands behind his back, and it was difficult to hide the anger on his face.
Seeing Li Canghai coming, Wang Buquan hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Li, you are here, my family is dead again!" ”
Li Canghai nodded to him and said solemnly: "I have heard the housekeeper say the matter, where is the corpse now?" ”
"The body is now in the kitchen, and it is a suicide in fear of sin." Wang Buquan said.
Li Canghai was a little surprised and asked, "How did County Lieutenant Wang determine that he committed suicide?" ”
"This is a confession found in front of the cook's body, it says that he killed a young girl by mistake and buried the body in the backyard flower garden, but he didn't expect the body to be found by you, and he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he took poison and committed suicide in order to get free." As he spoke, Wang Buquan took out a crumpled piece of paper and handed it to him.
Li Canghai took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and the content on it was exactly what Wang Buquan said.
He groaned and said, "I'll go see the corpse first." ”
Li Canghai asked everyone to stand outside the kitchen and walked in by himself.
In the kitchen, vegetables and fruits were in chaos, dishes were shattered, and a corpse was lying on a rice bag near the corner, and blood was pouring from the corpse's mouth.
After casually examining the corpse, Li Canghai walked out of the kitchen.
When Wang Buquan saw him come out, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"The body temperature is still there, and the time of death should be within half an hour. There were no injuries on the surface of the body, and judging from the state of death, it was indeed due to poisoning, and it can be determined that he did commit suicide. Li Canghai sighed and said, "I didn't expect the murderer to be him, since he committed suicide by taking poison, this case can also be over." Oh yes, the deceased committed suicide by poisoning and fearing the plague, so let's get the body to Yizhuang quickly. ”
Wang Buquan also sighed, he waved his hand, let a few servants go in and carry the body to Yizhuang, and said hatefully: "When I saw that he was pitiful, I gave him a chance to make a living, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing as a beast, I was really blind, and I actually raised a murderer at home. ”
Li Canghai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said meaningfully: "People's hearts are unpredictable, why should County Lieutenant Wang blame himself?" Moreover, the murderer has committed suicide in fear of crime, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the victim. Next, it's time for County Lieutenant Wang to think about the disaster relief food. ”
Wang Buquan patted his head at this time, and said suddenly: "I have been disturbed by the murder case in the past two days, and I have no time to take care of the disaster relief. ”
Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "County Lieutenant Wang is serious, Brother Zuo is responsible for disaster relief, what are you worried about?" However, there are more and more refugees in Zhengyang City, and it is time to raise prices. ”
After finding out the murder case, Wang Buquan was relaxed, and he laughed and said: "Brother Li said yes, I will order someone to spread the news of the price increase now." ”
Li Canghai nodded slightly, he looked up at the sky, pondered for a while, and said, "The two hundred quintals of grain I said before should have arrived, and I need to pick it up in person." The matter of raising the price will be handed over to the county lieutenant. ”
"Brother Li, even if you are busy, leave this matter to me Wang, you can count the silver with confidence! Ha ha! Wang Buquan patted his chest and smiled triumphantly.
Li Canghai left the Wang family, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked straight to Futian Courtyard.
There were several horse-drawn carriages parked at the door, and the carriages had flags of 'Zhenyuan Dart Bureau' on them, and some grain bags were placed on them.
Li Canghai walked into the courtyard and found that except for Zhang Xuan, everyone was there, except for Di Qing and others who were originally helping in Futian Courtyard, and there were some new people in dart costumes, these people were about 20 people, all of them were energetic men.
Seeing Li Canghai coming in, Chang Feng was the first to greet him and saluted him: "My lord, are you back?" ”
Li Canghai nodded slightly, he looked at the people in the dart game, and saw a man in the costume of a dart master walking over, clasping his hands into fists and saluting him: "I will send food to the order of the big boss, please check it." ”
Li Canghai nodded and said, "Do you have any other commands?" ”
"The master said, let us obey the arrangement of the adults in everything." The dart master said loudly.
"Then I have you to lose." Li Canghai smiled and said, "You have worked hard all the way, rest for a while first, and then I will arrange for you to act." ”
The dart master gave up, and then led a group of people to a shady place and sat down to rest.
Chang Feng's jaw fell out in surprise, he looked at those people in a daze, and he couldn't understand in his heart that they would be so respectful to Li Canghai.
Xiao Wu's heart is like a mirror, and Di Qing saw through their identities at the first sight of the dart master, so they were not surprised.
"My lord, ...... they?" Chang Fenghu asked suspiciously.
"My own people." Li Canghai waved his hand and asked, "Chang Feng, how is the matter for you to investigate?" ”
Chang Feng said respectfully: "Lord Hui, the matter has been clarified, the poisoning of the servant was indeed the official who imprisoned him that night, I found thirty taels of gold from his house, and he has confessed to what he did." ”
Li Canghai touched his chin in surprise, he didn't expect Chang Feng's work efficiency to be so high, and he said approvingly: "Your news is too timely, where is the official now?" ”
