Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "That's right, the assassin should be in the ya." ”

After listening to Liu Chengfeng's affirmative answer, Zhou Tai felt that his back was a little cold, doesn't this mean that the chaotic party is in the county government, one is not good, isn't he in danger of dying?

Liu Chengfeng looked carefully in the room again, sometimes leaning over to collapse, sometimes walking around the screen a few times, a pair of sword eyebrows, tightened more and more, after a long time, he let out a long breath and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to sit." ”

Zhou Tai immediately showed his joy, and hurriedly walked out of this smelly room with Liu Chengfeng, took a deep breath of the air outside, and said: "Liu Qianhu specializes in criminal names, is there a clue?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "There are some clues, but there are many things that are not yet clueless, don't worry." ”

He called the chief bookkeeper and asked him, "How many people are there in this inner office?" ”

The master replied: "My lord, there are thirteen people in total, except for the wife Wang and the concubine Zhao, there are only a few long-term followers, a tent room, and some girls. ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Call all these people later, I will ask them one by one." ”

The master book nodded, and naturally went to prepare. The autopsy in this era is very simple, but it can only be looked at, Liu Chengfeng saw that there were many broken ribs in the window in this record, his eyes flashed a trace of brilliance, and then he took out a dagger wrapped in a towel, put it in his hand and played for a while, and then nodded.

The entire internal debt is thirteen people, except for the wife Wang and the concubine Zhao, there are eleven subordinates of the internal government, and Liu Chengfeng called them to interrogate one by one.

The first to come was Wang's personal girl, called Chun'e, this Chun'e was a shrewd person at first glance, with a good complexion, sat down with her buttocks, and was not afraid of Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Tai, and called an adult obediently, Liu Chengfeng just nodded, and Zhou Tai sighed.

Liu Chengfeng took the lead in asking, "How does your master usually treat you?" ”

Chun'e didn't blink her eyes, and said directly: "The master usually always has a straight face, and he has never been close to people. ”

She replied very cleverly, neither saying that the lord was good to her, nor saying that he was not good to her, but said that he had never been close to people, which meant that the lord treated everyone equally, which exempted him from suspicion.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but look up a little bit at this girl named Chun'e, and then smiled and said, "Oh? Could it be that the old man is not close to his wife and the Zhao family? ”

Chun'e was silent for a while, as if chewing on the deep meaning of Liu Chengfeng's words, and then said: "Madame, don't say it, but since Aunt Zhao was married into the door by the master, the master has always spoiled her, but he obeyed her." ”

Liu Chengfeng looked at Chun'e and asked, "What about Madame?" ”

When Chun'e first came in, she knew that the adults wanted to ask questions, but this kind of questioning didn't look like a hall, so her heart was fresh, and Liu Chengfeng's attitude was not too cold, which also made her breathe a sigh of relief, but Liu Chengfeng's question was very tricky, which made her suddenly alert, and under Liu Chengfeng's forced questioning, she said quietly: "The master is quite respectful to his wife." ”

The two words of respect have a deep meaning, Liu Chengfeng naturally understands what this means, when a husband respects his wife, it also means that the husband and wife are already unfamiliar. He smiled, and had a good impression of this girl named Chun'e, no matter what, this girl was very clever and spoke very decently, he winked at this girl and said gently: "Okay, it's none of your business here, you go out, go and call the second person." ”

The second one is also a girl, called Chunmei, but it is the personal girl of the concubine Zhao, Chunmei looks a lot more wooden, and her appearance is also mediocre, she sits down stiffly, looking like a frightened rabbit, Liu Chengfeng had to ask gently: "I heard that your master loves Zhao very much, why did he stay in the lady's room last night." ”

Chunmei hesitated for a moment and said: "Originally, I was going to live in my housewife's room, and the lord was going to sleep with the housemother at night, but the lady called Chun'e to call, saying that the lord would get up early tomorrow morning and go to Fucheng......"

Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Tai couldn't help but smile knowingly, Zhou Tai and Liu Chengfeng are now familiar, so they can let go in front of Liu Chengfeng, but what makes him lose his temper is still this Chunmei's words, although Chunmei said so, in fact, it also reflects the battle in the inner office, that Mrs. Wang is only afraid that her husband is very dissatisfied with staying in the concubine's room all day long, so she took this opportunity to call the county commander Zheng Sheng to sleep in his room, the reason, naturally, the master should not 'overwork', and there are serious things to do tomorrow.

This Wang family may not be as simple as Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Taifang just saw. As for this concubine Zhao, I am afraid that it is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, just look at the girl Chunmei selected by the Zhao family, you know that this woman is very scheming, otherwise she will not leave such a superficial and mediocre girl by her side, you must know that flowers are set off by green leaves, with this Chunmei, in the eyes of the master, Zhao's posture is not more obvious?

And Mrs. Wang doesn't seem to be so scheming in this regard, even if there is no Zhao family, she is now old and decrepit, but she has a well-behaved and beautiful girl named Chun'e by her side, isn't it clear that her husband is tired of her?

After Liu Chengfeng laughed, he comforted Chunmei and said, "Don't be afraid, we just casually asked, do you usually go to the Buddha hall at the same time?" ”

Chunmei didn't dare to hide it, and said: "Yes, I will go at this time of the day, and the same is true this morning, I chanted the Buddha first, and then went to breakfast, but this morning, Mrs. came out of the room at the same time, but she said that she was hungry, and asked Chun'e to specially ask someone to prepare some pastries and send them to the Buddha hall." ”

"Really?" Liu Chengfeng was thoughtful, and then said, "How do you know?" ”

Chunmei said: "When the time came, the whole internal government did not get up, it was dark, the lady said that she wanted to eat pastries, so naturally she had to ask the cooks to do it, and the kitchen was close to the people's houses, so the noise was louder, and the slaves and maids were also awakened." ”

Zhou Tai couldn't help laughing and said: "This is strange, you slaves and maids are even later than the master's mother." ”

This sentence was ridiculous, Liu Chengfeng also laughed, and said to this Chunmei: "Don't be shy, Lord Zhou is joking with you, then let me ask you again, who is usually closer to Mrs. in this ya?" ”

Chunmei thought for a while: "Mr. Yang in the tent is said to be a distant relative of Mrs. Madame, usually Mrs. is in the house, and treats him very well, this Mr. Yang is also a good Buddha, so sometimes they will visit Buddha together in the Buddhist hall." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Oh? Doesn't your master love Buddhism? ”

Chunmei shook her head and said: "The master said, there are only saints in the world, there are no immortals and Buddhas, and he is not keen on this, but Mrs. Visiting Buddhism, he never objected." ”

Liu Chengfeng thought in his heart, it's strange to oppose it, this lady Wang is discouraged and lazy to go to other sustenances because she has lost her favor, and this county ordered Zheng Sheng to oppose it, wouldn't it be to shoot herself in the foot.

Liu Chengfeng asked, "Who is Mr. Yang in the tent?" ”

Speaking of Mr. Yang, Chunmei's eyes lit up, although he was the maid of the concubine Zhao, and Mr. Yang was obviously the lady's end, but Chunmei obviously had a very good impression of this Mr. Yang, and praised: "Mr. Yang is gentle and elegant, it is said that he is still a showman, he never behaves in this mansion, he is good to everyone, and sometimes he will go to the yamen to give the lord counselor some official duties, and the lord usually respects him." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Chunmei, you answered very well just now, are you still nervous?" ”

Chunmei shook her head and said, "Don't be nervous." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said to Chunmei: "Okay, you go down and call the next person in." ”

Zhou Tai on the side was curious about Liu Chengfeng's method of asking the case, but he felt that such a side-knocking question did not seem to have any effect, so it was better to directly pull these people to the yamen and beat them first.

Although Zhou Tai did not agree with Liu Chengfeng's method, he did not object, he had a good impression of Liu Chengfeng, and consciously owed him a favor, so he let Liu Chengfeng play freely.

After that, most of the people who came in were older people, including cooks, sedan chair men, and rough girls, all of whom had been asked over and over again, and the last one who came in was Mr. Yang from the tent.

This tent is about thirty years old, and his face is slightly dark, but he looks very handsome and has a gentle demeanor, no wonder even Na Chunmei has a good impression of him.

Mr. Yang came in, saluted, and said unhurriedly: "Student Yang Qing, I have seen two adults. ”

After all, the other party is a scholar, and Liu Chengfeng is fine, so Zhou Tai's attitude is naturally more gentle, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang, sit down first." ”

Yang Qing shook again, and then sat down with a smile, he first glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Tai, and said to Zhou Tai: "Don't be afraid to laugh when you say it, students and Zhou Governor's Mansion still have a relationship in the past." ”

Zhou Tai couldn't help but say, "Really? But haven't you seen it anywhere? ”

Yang Qingdao: "When my lord went to the prefect's yamen, the students also accompanied him, and the prefect taught my lord's words, and the students also benefited a lot. ”

Zhou Tai's face immediately flashed red, and then he smiled: "Where is it, it's just a pity that there were many people at that time, but I didn't notice you." ”

The greetings between the two of you and me made Liu Chengfeng very depressed, but he was also vigilant against this Yang Qing, this person didn't seem to be simple, as soon as he entered this room, before he could speak, he had already taken the initiative.

The words were almost finished, Yang Qingcai said: "My lord, my Dongweng was assassinated, but I don't know who did it, these people may not be too blind, the two adults invite the students in, do you have something to ask?" Then ask the adults to ask, and the students will know everything. ”

Zhou Tai nodded with a smile, but his eyes fell on Liu Chengfeng, which means that Brother Liu, if you have anything to ask, don't delay Yang's tent, in fact, this is also to tell Yang Qing that he is not going to interrogate you, nor is he suspicious of you, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, you still have to find Brother Liu.

Anyway, he entered this county government with an iron heart to sing white face, not that he deliberately asked Liu Chengfeng to be this bad guy, but his identity is different from Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng is pro-army, naturally a tiger and wolf posture, but he is a prefect, a scholar, and now someone else's family has died of a husband, and the dead is still a meritorious scholar, is the county order, if he is too harsh, he will inevitably be discussed if he is criticized, it is naturally better to put on a low-key and gentle attitude, otherwise people who don't know, and say that he bullied other people's orphans and widows, This makes no sense.
