Seeing the male owner pointing at the hostess excitedly, the eyes of the leading masked man flashed a look of astonishment, and he couldn't help but look at the obese hostess.

"This is the benefit that Mr. Zhang gave me, and I did one thing for him." The hostess saw the male owner glaring at her, knowing that the male owner had misunderstood her relationship with Zhang Siyi, and hurriedly explained to him.

"What is worth so much money?" The man was in a hurry at this time, and he couldn't help but say angrily when he heard the words, "You tell me clearly, otherwise I won't discount your legs!" ”

"I ...... I helped the county lord's son-in-law pull a red line, so Zhang Si gave me these rewards. The hostess seemed to have something difficult to say, but when she saw the man glaring at her angrily, she knew that it would be difficult to calm the matter if she did not give him an explanation, so she replied vaguely.

"Pull the red line?" The male owner was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but look at the hostess and blurt out what to say, "You won't be a pimp and push Liu Fang into the arms of that idiot!" ”

It is worth mentioning that because the name of incandescent is sometimes mispronounced as "idiot", the people privately call incandescent "idiot".

Liu Fang is Liu's name, this hostess is the sister-in-law next door who often asks Liu Fang out, because her husband's surname is Zhang, and she is the eldest in the family, so she is called Zhang, and she is also known as Zhang's sister-in-law.

"This ......"

Facing Boss Zhang's question, Sister-in-law Zhang's face showed a look of panic, everyone knows that now the case of Butcher Wang's violent death has become a big problem, which has alarmed a high-ranking official from the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate who came to Hangzhou Mansion to inspect, she didn't want to provoke anything wrong, and then hurriedly denied it, "Liu Fang has already married, how could I do such a thing, it is a girl from my mother's village in the township, and the two are secretly getting along." ”

Although Boss Zhang was excited, he was not stupid, and he realized that he had just said something that should not be said and hurriedly shut up, and now the people in Lin'an County avoided the case of Wang Butcher's violent death, and no one wanted to be implicated in it.

"Don't report to the official, otherwise Lao Tzu will be unkind to you." The masked man in the lead watched the scene just now with cold eyes, and when he saw that Boss Zhang was no longer speechless, he waved the knife in his hand at him and said intimidatingly.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Boss Zhang hurriedly shook his head, he just wanted to send away the group of plague gods in front of him now, where would he dare to report to the official, in case these people killed him when the time came, it would be bad.

The masked man in the lead waved his hand to the masked people next to him, and hurried away with the jewelry box in his arms.

"My baby!" After the masked men left, Sister-in-law Zhang collapsed on the bed and cried bitterly.

"Be quiet, let them hear and come back." Seeing this, Boss Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and covered her mouth, and listened to the movement in the courtyard with his ears pricked up in fear.

"Report to the official, go to the official immediately, those treasures are my lifeblood." Sister-in-law Zhang pushed away Boss Zhang's hand, moved her body and wanted to get out of bed to go to the county government to report to the official, now that the four gates of Lin'an City are closed, those robbers can't escape at all, as long as the county government is willing to search, they will definitely be found.

"My aunt, you don't want to die, if that gang of gangsters is ambushed outside the door, if you go to report to the official, won't you kill yourself!" Boss Zhang knew that Sister-in-law Zhang loved money, so he hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Also, can you tell where the things in the jewelry box come from?" If we are implicated in the case of the butcher king, we will be in great trouble. ”

"This group of gangsters......" Sister-in-law Zhang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then sat on the bed and patted her thighs and cursed the few black-clothed masked people just now, so frightened that Boss Zhang hurriedly covered her mouth, for fear of angering those masked people.

Early the next morning, when Li Yuntian went to the living room after breakfast, Li Zixi was already waiting there, and there was a jewelry box on the table next to him, which was the jewelry box that he took from Mr. Zhang last night.

Last night, Li Zixi personally led several guards to go to Boss Zhang's house pretending to be knife-wielding gangsters, and even bluffed and scared Sister-in-law Zhang to take out the benefits she got from Zhang Siyi, proving that Incandescent really occupied her after the Liu family left the Liu family.

"Lord Wang, the humble post has been checked, among the six officials in the sixth room of the county government, only the official of the torture room is surnamed Zhang, this person is Zhang Gu's clan, relying on Zhang Gu is rampant in the county office, even the officials of the household room have to be afraid of his three points."

After telling the story of last night's incident, Li Zixi told Li Yuntian, who was checking the jewelry in the jewelry box, that he didn't dare to say anything about Lin'an County now, but he already knew the grievances and entanglements of all parties in the county, so he was more clear about the details of a strong person like Zhang Siyi.

"That's right, Bai Zhi is a brainless person, and he always likes to use force when doing things, so there must be a military advisor behind his occupation of the Liu clan who is planning, and this military advisor is Zhang Gu."

Li Yuntian checked the jewelry in the jewelry box and found that the contents were worth three or four hundred taels of silver, it seemed that the other party was really generous and used such a valuable thing to plug Sister-in-law Zhang's mouth, so he looked up and said to Li Zixi, "If this king didn't guess wrong, there is a good chance that the money there was also sent by Zhang Gu, and Zhang Gu and Liu Qing had a grudge and took this opportunity to take Liu Qing's life." ”

"Lord Wang, do you mean that there is something strange about the post-mortem examination?" Li Zixi understood what Li Yuntian meant, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to find a way to find a way to bring him to the trial?" ”

"Not yet." Li Yuntian pondered for a while and shook his head slightly, he was the key figure in this case, and he couldn't move lightly now, otherwise it would be easy to startle the snake, and he would not be able to receive the expected effect in the court trial.

"By the way, what disease did Butcher Wang suffer from before he died?" Then, Li Yuntian remembered something and couldn't help but look up at Li Zixi.

Before his death, the butcher went to the pharmacy to seek medical treatment, and according to the records in the file, the doctor in the pharmacy said that he was just an ordinary wind chill and had just taken a few doses of medicine.

Then Liu poured arsenic into the medicine while decocting the medicine for the Wang butcher, poisoned the Wang butcher to death, and then lied that the Wang butcher was suffering from a violent illness.

In Li Yuntian's view, the confession of the doctor in the pharmacy is very important, and it is directly related to whether the butcher died of a violent illness or was poisoned.

Although Li Yuntian does not have any evidence to prove this speculation, it is undeniable that this is also an important possibility in the case of the violent death of Wang Butcher.

"I managed to get close to the guy in the pharmacy, and I got some words from him at the wine table, and the doctor in the pharmacy didn't see what disease he had, but it was similar to the symptoms of wind and cold, so he prescribed him medicine to cure wind and cold."

Hearing this, Li Zixi bowed slightly to Li Yuntian and said in an orderly manner, "Since that guy didn't go to Butcher Wang's house at that time, he just heard the apprentice of the doctor who went to the doctor with the doctor at the pharmacy to diagnose the patient mentioned that Butcher Wang was foaming at the mouth at that time, and he couldn't speak, as if he was very sick. ”

"I see!" Li Yuntian couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, and his face showed a thoughtful look, the things recorded in the case file had really been tampered with, and he wanted to deliberately muddy the water.

Don't look at Li Zixi who has been in the county seat of Lin'an County for so long to find out such a little information from the pharmacy, in fact, he has done his best.

The doctors and apprentices of the pharmacy are now under the strict "protection" of the county government officials, and even after diagnosis and treatment, they have to be followed by several officers, and they are completely charged by the county government officials, for fear of coming into contact with outsiders before the case of the Wang butcher is understood.

In order not to startle the snake, Li Zixi had to use a roundabout way, and the ruffians in Tongguò County gradually got acquainted with a guy who worked in the pharmacy, and the guy in Tongguò learned this information.

However, this information is enough for Li Yuntian, and he can get a lot of useful things from it, which in turn helps him connect the whole case.

"By the way, have you checked the pharmacy in the other county, whether they sold arsenic to Liu Qing." The information Li Yuntian had at hand was enough for him to outline the general outline of the case of Butcher Wang's violent death, and what he wanted to determine now was a detail in this case, so he asked Li Zixi in a deep voice.

It turned out that according to the records on the case file, Liu Qing bought arsenic and handed it to Liu, and in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of people in this county, he deliberately went to a small pharmacy in another county to buy it.

"The lowly sent people to secretly investigate the location of the pharmacy, and because of the small scale of the small pharmacy, it seems that no arsenic has been imported when it is usually purchased, and I have never heard of arsenic sold to anyone before."

Li Zixi replied in an orderly manner when he heard this, "However, the purchase account book provided by the shopkeeper of the pharmacy and the shipment account book of a pharmacy in the county seat that supplied it all recorded that the pharmacy had indeed entered a batch of arsenic. ”

Li Yuntian couldn't help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, this kind of little trick also wanted to fool in front of him, it was simply ridiculous, didn't they know the truth that the more lies there were, the more flaws there were?

"Send someone to the pharmacy in the county town to check on the arsenic store that provided them with arsenic, and see if the accounts of the two sides can be reconciled."

Afterwards, Li Yuntian sneered and instructed Li Zixi in a deep voice, "If you still can't find anything, then check it up, this king doesn't believe that they can make all the accounts round." ”

"Let's do it." Li Zixi bowed to Li Yuntian when he heard this, turned around and left quickly, maybe this is Li Yuntian's strength, he can always see the long term better than others, and then follow the vine to find out a thing.

"Xianggong, we've been here for a few days, when will we leave for Hangzhou?" After Li Zixi left, Lei Ting smiled and brought Li Yuntian two plates of snacks.

Li Yuntian is not the small county magistrate of Hukou County back then, nor is he the small imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the important minister of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he doesn't have time to spend too much time on this case.

In fact, Li Yuntian is still on vacation in Lin'an County this time, he has been busy for so long and hasn't taken a good rest, and this time he came to Lin'an County to investigate the case.

"Let's not go to Hangzhou City, you send someone to send a letter to Xie Muen, and ask him to come to Lin'an County in two days to try the case of the violent death of the butcher Wang, and this king wants to find out whether Liu Qing and the Liu family have been wronged." Li Yuntian stretched lazily, smiled and said to Lei Ting, after these days of investigation, he probably already knew what happened to the death of the king butcher.

"Okay." Lei Ting first smiled when she heard this, and then shook her head.

If this case is over, Li Yuntian will return to the busy rhythm of life in the past, Lei Ting feels sorry for Li Yuntian and doesn't want Li Yuntian to be too tired, but this is the responsibility and obligation that Li Yuntian must bear, and she has no choice but to silently help Li Yuntian share the pressure.
