"Why are you checking the people on the ship?" Zhou Yuting looked at Li Yuntian with some puzzlement when she heard this, this didn't seem to have anything to do with Li Qing's case. The update is the fastest and the fastest to the eye

"Have you noticed that Hu Hao and Zhao Yan's descriptions of Li Qing's first meeting of Zhao Yan at the ferry are a little different." Li Yuntian had already guessed that Zhou Yuting didn't understand what she meant, not to mention whether she could notice the subtle surprise between Hu Hao and Zhao Yan's words, just the vinegar just now, I'm afraid she didn't listen to Zhao Yan's words very carefully.

"What's the difference?" Zhou Yuting felt a little curious, she felt that what the two said was no different, didn't they just meet by chance at the ferry.

"What Hu Hao said was that Zhao Yan smiled at Li Qing on the boat at the ferry, which made Li Qing fall in love with her at first sight, and Zhao Yan's statement is that she was attracted by Li Qing's wolf appearance on the ferry."

Li Yuntian smiled slightly, guiding Zhou Yuting's train of thought, "Think about it, if Zhao Yan smiled at Li Qingwan on the boat, then why did she say that Li Qing only noticed him when she got on the ferry." ”

"Maybe Zhao Yan is embarrassed to say it." Zhou Yuting thought for a while and said, "Girls' dough is usually thinner. ”

"Maybe, but do you think that if she has such a deep affection for Li Qing, she will hide this matter?" Li Yuntian smiled and said methodically, "Do you remember those laundry women on the shore before we came?" Are they smiling at you? Or are you smiling at me? ”

"I understand that Zhou Yuting was not smiling at Li Qing at that time, and Li Qing mistakenly thought that she was smiling at him." As soon as Li Yuntian mentioned the laundry women on the shore, Zhou Yuting immediately reacted, and looked at Li Yuntian with a surprised expression, "So, she has a sweetheart?" ”

"It's entirely possible!" Li Yuntian snapped his fingers when he heard this, and said to Zhou Yuting with a smile, "So Zhou Yuting didn't notice Li Qing on the boat at that time, so naturally I didn't know that Li Qing thought she was smiling at him." ”

"However, this is just our speculation, only by finding that 'sweetheart', then we can know whether the speculation is correct." Subsequently, Li Yuntian added, "This is the focus of the problem." ”

"But Zhao Yan lives in a simple place, and even Zhao Rui doesn't know that she has a sweetheart, where do we start?" Zhou Yuting's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, embarrassed.

Li Yuntian saw that Zhou Yuting was serious, smiled, and walked away.

"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Zhou Yuting hurriedly chased after her, this case was Qian Cheng specially asked Li Yuntian for help, if Li Yuntian messed up, wouldn't it be self-ruining his reputation!

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and you can't be in a hurry." Li Yuntian stretched his waist and said lazily.

"Have you already figured it out?" Zhou Yuting saw Li Yuntian's relaxed face, so she rolled her eyes and asked tentatively.

"Actually, you just said it, but you didn't pay attention?" Li Yuntian smiled at Zhou Yuting when he heard this, reminding her.

"Where did I say that?" Zhou Yuting thought about it and looked at him suspiciously.

"Didn't you say that Zhao Yan lived in a simple house?" Li Yuntian smiled and uncovered the mystery, "She is a young lady from a large family, not only does she go out very few times, but there must be someone around to take care of her, so she should not have contact with people, since this is the case, then the person she can know must have gone to the Zhao family." ”

"As long as you check the people who have been to Zhao's house and have contact with Zhao Yan, whether they were on the boat that day, you can find out Zhao Yan's sweetheart!" Zhou Yuting's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this, and she said excitedly to Li Yuntian.

"This is a matter of Qian Zhi County, let's just wait for the news." Li Yuntian laughed and strode towards the ferry.

"Why are you so smart? Can you think of so many things? Zhou Yuting chased after her and asked suspiciously, she thought that Li Yuntian would keenly find clues from those seemingly unbounded information.

"I didn't know about it before, but when I met you, I understood." Li Yuntian turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yuting, and said seriously.

"Why?" Zhou Yuting suddenly felt curious.

"Because I found that you have generously given me your cleverness." Li Yuntian coughed, stopped, and looked at Zhou Yuting quietly.

"I gave you my cleverness?" Zhou Yuting muttered a sentence, and didn't react to Li Yuntian's meaning for a while.

Li Yuntian couldn't help laughing when he saw this, stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, got up and left.

"Oh! You're calling me stupid! Zhou Yuting touched the tip of her nose, reacted suddenly, stomped her foot angrily, and chased after her, looking very angry on the surface, but her heart was warm.

After witnessing the scene in front of her, Xue'er couldn't help but smile, she now understands that although Zhou Yuting is rude and willful, she was eaten to death by Li Yuntian, it really responds to the old saying, brine and tofu, one thing drops one thing.

In the afternoon, Li Yuntian's carriage stopped outside the county yamen of Pengze County.

It was the first time for Li Yuntian to come to Pengze County, and after learning that the personable young scribe in front of him was actually the famous magistrate of Hukou County, the official guarding the door hurriedly welcomed him in, and at the same time trotted all the way to report the money.

"Brother Li, I'm really tired of you this time." In the living room of the county government's back house, when Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting were sitting there chatting, Qian Cheng walked in and arched his hand to him with a smile.

Qian Chengnian is not confused, thin and tall, looking a little dark, he was practicing calligraphy in the study of the back house just now, and after knowing that Li Yuntian was coming, he hurriedly asked the concubine to wait for him to change clothes and freshen up, which looked very solemn.

During this period of time, Qian Cheng was disturbed by Li Qing's case, the Li family and the Zhao family are the two major clans in Pengze County, because it is a matter of two families, so he is not reluctant to give an explanation to the two families, if he can't find out the case and give an explanation to the two families, I am afraid that the matter will stab the government and even the patrol yamen, and it will be bad at that time.

"Brother Qian has something to do, and the younger brother is naturally duty-bound." Li Yuntian got up and smiled and arched his hand to Qian Cheng, the two had a close relationship, so they were brothers in private.

"This is ......" Then, Qian Cheng's eyes fell on Zhou Yuting, and he felt that the little brother in front of him had a handsome and heroic spirit.

"Little brother's fiancée." Li Yuntian smiled slightly and introduced to Qian Cheng, anyway, Zhou Yuting was almost out of the door, so there was no need to hide her identity.

"It turned out to be a brother and sister." Hearing this, Qian Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to bring his fiancée.

"Qian Zhi County." Zhou Yuting smiled slightly and generously arched her hand to Qian Cheng.

Qian Cheng didn't expect Zhou Yuting to bow her hand, instead of the usual woman's blessing ceremony, and hurriedly returned the salute.

"Brother Qian, I want to go to Lijiazhuang tomorrow, and I hope Brother Qian will arrange it." After sitting down, after greeting for a while, Li Yuntian put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"This is nature." Qian Cheng nodded and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"The younger brother wants to go there this time to make an unannounced visit, so I don't need to go to Brother Qian." Li Yuntian smiled and waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qian, junior brother wants to know who else was on the ferry with Li Qing on the day Li Qing first met Zhao Yan, as well as the list of people who have been in and out of Zhao Mansion in recent years. ”

"No problem, it's all on me." Qian Cheng couldn't help but be uplifted when he heard this, he already knew about Li Yuntian's trip to Zhaojiabao, it seemed that Li Yuntian was quite concerned about this case, which was undoubtedly good news for him.

Then he called the head of the Pengze County team to deal with the matter, and asked the team leader to go to Zhaojiazhuang to handle this matter immediately.

In the evening, Qian Cheng held a banquet for Li Yuntian in the county government's mansion, and his wife sat on the side, accompanying Zhou Yuting, which can be regarded as a family banquet.

Li Yuntian had already learned about the progress of Qian Cheng's trial at this time, and Qian Cheng suspected that Li Qing might have been poisoned, which led to delirium, because Li Qing's body has always been very healthy, and no one in his ancestors has ever suffered from madness, so it can be ruled out that it is the cause of sudden madness.

Considering that Li Qing was the only one who was poisoned, Qian Cheng arrested all the suspicious characters who might have poisoned Li Qing that day, although he was tortured, no one admitted to poisoning Li Qing, and now those people are still locked up in the county prison.

This made Li Qing's case in a state of stagnation, originally Qian Cheng wanted to find a substitute for the dead ghost from those people, but first, the families of those people were very difficult, and they often came to the county government to shout grievances, second, the Li family and the Zhao family were not so easy to deal with, and third, he couldn't find the kind of poison that poisoned Li Qing, so there was no way to close the case.

In fact, Li Yuntian also suspected that Li Qing might have been poisoned at first, otherwise he would not have run out and jumped into the river in a delirium.

But what made him wonder was how Li Qing was poisoned, and why he ran to jump into the river instead of hitting the wall or something.

In addition, he once asked the doctor, generally speaking, the onset of drugs that cause nervous confusion is relatively short, and it is rare to get up in the morning after sleeping all night.

If someone sneaks into the new house and poisons the groom or something, there is also this possibility, but this requires a good psychological element and skills, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and the probability is very small.

After dinner, Li Yuntian asked Qian Cheng to take him to the county government prison in Pengze County, and interrogated those people who were suspected of poisoning by Qian Cheng.

Several people have been beaten and bruised all over their bodies, including the servants and maids of the Li family, as well as young guests who came to drink, who were suspected of being tortured just because they poured a glass of wine for Li Qing.

Looking at the few suspects who were tortured to the point of not being human, Zhou Yuting immediately experienced the huge gap between Qian Cheng and Li Yuntian.

In Zhou Yuting's impression, Li Yuntian rarely used criminal punishment when trying cases, and usually made the suspect admit guilt and submit to the law after a careful analysis, which is very rare, and it is also a reflection of the difference in ability between people.

Just as Li Yuntian expected, the suspects did not provide any useful information except for shouting grievances, and it seemed that they could only look for some clues from Lijiazhuang. One
