Boom!

Xiao Jiading felt that his lower abdomen was hit, but there was no pain, but it was Geng San's grandmother who screamed, was bounced out, and fell to the ground.

This scream immediately attracted the attention of the others, and Grandma Geng San couldn't care about anything else, so she pulled out a short sword from her boot and stabbed at Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading screamed, turned around and ran, since someone had already found out, he didn't want people to know that he had martial arts. Grandma Geng San was lame and couldn't catch up, so she saw the guards of the King of Shu quickly surround her, and at the same time, Geng Changshi and the others also ran towards this side in panic.

Grandma Geng San saw that the entire stone tower had been surrounded by the guards of the prince of Shu, her knee just hit Xiao Jiading's lower abdomen, but it was like hitting an iron plate, almost fractured, and the pain was so painful that it was difficult to walk, so naturally she couldn't escape from the guards, she bit her silver teeth, suddenly turned around, and ran into the stone tower!

There is only a way up the stone tower, and there is no way to go when you reach the top of the tower! What did she run into the tower for?

Tang Lin and the others had already run to Xiao Jiading's side and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Grandma Geng San instructed Ding Zhao to poison and kill Zhishui Shitai, and in order to extinguish her mouth, she killed Ding Zhao again. I already have sufficient evidence, I was interrogating her just now, and she suddenly tried to kill me, and that's it. ”

Geng Changshi's face changed greatly: "What did you say?" I, my third aunt, yes, the murderer? ”

As soon as he said this, he heard someone screaming in shock, looking up at the top of his head. Everyone hurriedly looked up, and saw a woman standing outside the railing on the top floor of the stone tower. The long hair is scattered, it is Grandma Geng San!

Everyone hurriedly retreated, and Geng Changshi exclaimed, "What are you doing?" Come down, there's something to say! ”

Grandma Geng San smiled miserably and said sharply: "Xiao Zhiyi, I instructed Ding Zhao to poison Zhishui Shitai, because I know that the person she cares about the most is her son!" I threatened that if she didn't kill herself right away, I would kill her son. So she committed suicide very obediently, and Ding Zhao was also killed after I deceived her, in order to extinguish her mouth. - Alright. Both of your cases are solved. I did it, and as for why I did it, I'll tell you when I become a ghost! ”

In a roar of exclamation. Grandma Geng San jumped in. Jumped from the nine-story stone tower. With a bang, it slammed into the grass, and then bounced up half a man. It fell to the ground again.

She lay on her back with her face to the sky, her hands outstretched, as if to grasp the dying life.

The women screamed and turned around, while the men, with wide eyes, gathered around.

Xiao Jiading flew over, squatted down, and looked at her already painfully distorted face, blood gurgling out of her mouth. His eyes widened.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly said: "I know that you are not the real mastermind behind the scenes!" Tell me, who made you do this? And for what? ”

Grandma Geng San didn't speak, a smile flashed in her eyes, and in the end, life was frozen in that smile.

Geng Changshi stood there, the sleeves of his robe trembled, and he stomped his feet and said, "Sanniang, you, why are you suffering?" What is there that can't be solved, to be like this! ”

Grandma Geng San had already admitted to the murder in public and committed suicide on the spot, so no one questioned Xiao Jiading anymore.

It's just that everything happened too suddenly, and what was supposed to be a very festive feast turned into a bloody ending. The previous hustle and bustle suddenly fell silent.

Li Ke turned around and said, "The banquet is over, Tang Sima stays, and the others please go back!" Geng Changshi, you and your family should also wait outside the peach forest! ”

The murderer was Geng Changshi's third aunt, of course he wanted to avoid it, so he took a few family members who were lying on the corpse crying out of the peach forest.

When the incident happened, Li Ke's personal guards had already guarded the area around the stone tower, and except for a few high-ranking officials, no one else could approach. After hearing this, he immediately politely asked all the guests to withdraw from the peach forest.

When everyone left, Li Ke looked at Xiao Jiading and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Jiading explained everything about the matter, and also told his evidence one by one. Li Ke has been listening quietly, and after hearing the most sorrow, he nodded slowly and said: "This case has been solved beautifully, but it's a pity that the murderer committed suicide in fear of crime." ”

Xiao Jiading arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, the reason why the murderer committed suicide immediately, I believe she is to cover up the real mastermind behind her." ”

"Oh? Do you have any basis for this? ”

"No," Xiao Jiading replied honestly, "it's just a feeling of mine." Because under normal circumstances, there is no need for the murderer to commit suicide, and if he is brought to trial, he may also encounter amnesty during the trial, which can save his life. Even if she doesn't, she is Geng Changshi's aunt, Geng Changshi is a fifth-grade official, and she belongs to Tonggui, if she asks for a commutation of sentence, she will have no way to survive if she doesn't taste it. However, she committed suicide in a hurry, and I always felt that she did this because she was afraid that she would be forced to confess to the real murderer in our hands. ”

"It makes sense." Li Ke nodded, glanced at Tang Lin next to him, and asked Xiao Jiading again, "The person behind the scenes, could it be ......?" ”

Although Li Ke didn't say the name, Tang Lin and Xiao Jiading had already guessed from his tone that the person he was referring to should be Geng Changshi!

Tang Lin thought for a while and said, "There is no evidence at present, and the clues have been broken, so it is difficult to check." ”

Li Ke looked at Xiao Jiading: "Can you find out the real behind this possible existence?" ”

Xiao Jiading solved several major cases in a row, and the confidence in his heart increased greatly, nodded and said, "I will do my best!" ”

Although he has confidence now, he still doesn't dare to talk too much. What's more, the murderer behind the scenes is likely to be Geng Changshi, and it is even more difficult for such a high-ranking official to investigate and deal with.

Li Ke said: "Okay, you will continue to investigate this case." In front of Geng Changshi, don't show the slightest bit of tone! ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Li Ke's grim face slowly softened, and said, "I should have drunk a lot today, and if I don't get drunk, I won't return, but it's a pity that such a thing happened." That's it, let's find a chance to make up for it later! ”

——————————

Crazy Mei and they have been waiting outside the peach forest, as well as Huang Shiyun and Su Yunxia.

When Xiao Jiading came out, they all gathered around, and Crazy Mei already knew about Geng San's grandmother who committed suicide in fear of crime and jumped off the stone tower, and when she saw Xiao Jiading coming out, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" I heard that Geng Changshi's third aunt was a murderer and committed suicide by jumping off the tower. It's not going to get you in trouble, is it? ”

Originally, Crazy Mei was not the kind of eighth woman who liked to inquire, especially about the case, but this matter now involves her husband Xiao Jiading in her heart, and the culprit in the case solved by Xiao Jiading turned out to be Geng Changshi's concubine, and Geng Changshi is the No. 3 person in Yizhou, half a level higher than Tang Lin's current official position, so she can't help but be nervous.

Huang Shiyun and Su Yunxia were the same, looking at Xiao Jiading anxiously.

Xiao Jiading smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the culprit in this case, Grandma Geng San, has already admitted in public that she is the murderer, and everyone has seen it, she committed suicide by jumping off the tower by herself, and it has nothing to do with me." Geng Changshi is an enlightened man, and he has no reason to be angry with me because of this matter. So rest assured. ”

Hearing this, they breathed a sigh of relief. I drove back home.

When he got home, Xiao Jiading casually threw Zhong Wenbo's folding fan in the boots into the kitchen firewood shed.

This night, in order to celebrate Xiao Jiading's victory, Su Yunxia won the women's Tanhua, and the crazy plum let Yun Yan and Nenzhu come up with the best craftsmanship and make a table of exquisite dishes.

Then go back to the house, how to celebrate Xiao Jiading in private, how to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the room full of spring, I can only ask the officials to imagine, because the wind is tight, and it can't be detailed.

…………

The following days. Xiao Jiading concentrated his efforts on handling Jiang Zhongyuan's intentional homicide case.

Lang Zhong's appraisal opinion has come out, although Jiang Zhongyuan is trying to pretend to be crazy even after eating his own feces and urine, but he still can't hide it in front of the experienced Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong's unanimous opinion is that Jiang Zhongyuan is pretending to be crazy. At the end of the day, Geng Changshi learned that the emperor would grant amnesty to him when his first child with Wucai was born in May, so he secretly told Jiang Zhongyuan the news. So, when Jiang Zhongyuan saw that Lang Zhong seriously suspected him of pretending to be crazy, he stopped pretending.

In this way, Jiang Zhongyuan's pretending to be crazy was finally confirmed, and the trial continued. Xiao Jiading quickly came up with an opinion on the proposed sentence and sentenced Jiang Zhongyuan to be beheaded for intentional homicide. Kang County ordered the court to try the case, Jiang Zhongyuan knew that he had no worries about his life, and he was killed on the street, and many people witnessed it, and the evidence was indeed sufficient, so he did not retract his confession and pleaded guilty in court. The case, which had been delayed for a year, was finally successfully concluded. Report to the state government yamen.

This case was finally taken off, and the county commander Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jiading is very busy these days, in addition to being very busy with the trial of the case, and after he won the championship and won the title of the first talent in Yizhou, to paraphrase the current vocabulary, there are many social activities that invite him to participate. In order to expand his influence and realize Tang Lin's requirements, Xiao Jiading participated in as long as he could spare time, most of these activities had to be poems, Xiao Jiading naturally would not use those classic masterpieces on such occasions, they were all fooled.

The recording of Li Ke, the king of Shu, finally began, and the state government Yamen sent Xiao Jiading to participate in Li Ke's recording of prisoners. Because although Li Ke only served as the assassin of Yizhou, he was the governor of Jiannan Province and the king of Shu, so the scope of his prisoners covered 212 counties in 45 states of Jiannan Province. Of course, it was impossible for him to go to all the states and counties, but according to the situation of receiving grievances and grievances before, and referring to the states and counties he had already visited before, he planned ten states and counties as the key places to record prisoners, and the rest were only symbolic walks, and some of them did not go at all.
