PS: The editor said that this work meets the criteria for potential VIP listing, so what is that? Forget it, don't think about it, let's spend more time with everyone.

Seeing the main owner, Zhou Xiaocao felt a little discouraged for no reason. Yes, if you promise to help others, they will help you in exchange. However, for two days in a row, there was no progress, and two people died inexplicably. Could it be that he is the Japanese detective Conan who has not grown up for ten years, always wearing small pants all year round, where to go and where to die? Thinking of the two innocent people, Wildcat and Shidunzi's daughter-in-law, Zhou Xiaocao felt panicked in his heart, no matter what kind of people they were in life, but this time they really died unjustly!

Xie Bingzhou also saw Zhou Xiaocao coming towards him, and immediately stopped and asked, "Is there any progress in the matter?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao's face was gloomy, he lowered his head and looked at his toes, and said, "Lord Xie, there is no progress yet. However, I'll figure it out, and I'll have a clue tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest! ”

Xie Bingzhou has been full of vicissitudes in the past few days, which shows that people are indeed forced out. In the past few days, the theft of the treasury silver has already made Xie Bingzhou tired of coping, and he is more than ten years old. His wife, Ma, also hid in the inner bed all day long, staying at home, and sorted out all the relationships that could be used. found that those relatives and friends in the past, as long as they don't go to the well, they are already enough friends. The rest, there are really some who take advantage of the autumn wind to fight more, this is called a villain!

Xie Qiuyan didn't need to be urged recently, she consciously embroidered a female red, Xie Bingzhou asked her why she was so diligent? She said, Dad, it's done, can you sell it for a few bucks? Xie Bingzhou shook his head after hearing this, said "nonsense" and left. However, Xie Qiuyan clearly saw tears flowing down his eyes the moment he turned around

Xie Bingzhou looked at Zhou Xiaocao in front of him, shook his head and said, "The drum of grievances just sounded, and a stonemason came to complain, saying that his wife was killed at home." How do you feel about this? ”

Zhou Xiaocao was stunned. He is very sensitive to the word stonemason now, because he has been dealing with stonemasons for the past two days. Although he had never found them, the word stonemason had been lingering in his mind. At this time, when he heard Xie Bingzhou mention the stonemason, he immediately became interested: "Oh? Which stonemason is it? Is it one of the stonemasons who built the treasury? ”

Seeing Zhou Xiaocao's excited expression, Xie Bingzhou's heart was half cold: "Yes, he said his name is Shi Dunzi." ”

Zhou Xiaocao was even more excited: "Stone pier? That's what I'm looking for! Tell me, where is he now? I want to see him right away. ”

Xie Bingzhou brushed his sleeves away: "You will see him soon!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring Zhou Xiaocao who was standing in place. Zhou Xiaocao didn't know how Lord Xie was in a mood, and when he turned around, he saw Zheng Zheng coming from outside. I don't know what happened, but he had some difficulty walking, as if he was sick.

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Mr. Zheng, I haven't seen you for a day, where have you been?" Hey, why are you not feeling well? ”

Zheng Zheng glanced at him and said coldly: "I have a stomachache, can you manage it?" Hum! ”

Zhou Xiaocao is even more strange, what's going on? Yesterday we were together, but today it is a different day? One by one, it was as if they had borrowed 80,000 taels of silver from me, and they didn't look good at it horizontally and vertically.

A servant came over and said to Zhou Xiaocao: "Master Zhou, let's go, the master is waiting for you in the lobby!" ”

Waiting for me in the lobby? Oh yes, I just said that the stone pier came to complain, so I have to hurry up, why do I have to meet this stone pier, and ask who let him go, that person is very likely to be related to the thief who stole the silver, or the thief himself at all.

Follow the official through the inner hall, turn to the lobby, and see a person kneeling under the hall. This person has a ruddy face, strong limbs, and no matter how you look at it, you have the illusion of being smeared with stone powder. Judging from the appearance alone, there is no doubt that he should be a stonemason.

The official with Zhou Xiaocao bowed his hand to Xie Bingzhou, and Shi Li said: "My lord, the defendant Zhou Xiaocao brought it!" ”

Defendant? What's going on?

Xie Bingzhou said loudly: "Zhou Xiaocao has a meritorious reputation, you can not kneel, get him a stool." ”

A servant on the side had already brought over a square stool and placed it beside Zhou Xiaocao. Zhou Xiaocao didn't sit down, and asked Xie Bingzhou, "Master Xie, what does this mean?" ”

Zheng Zheng's face sank, and he said loudly: "My lord is handling the case, it's not your turn to speak!" You are now a defendant, and when I ask about you, I answer truthfully; I didn't ask you, just shut up! ”

Damn, you took the gunpowder? Zhou Xiaocao inexplicably rose into anger, and at this time, Xie Bingzhou was shocked, and the officials standing on both sides shouted in unison: "Mighty!" ”

Where did Zhou Xiaocao go through such a battle, and he forcibly held back the words that were stuck in his throat.

Xie Bingzhou asked loudly, "Who is kneeling down in the hall?" ”

"Lord Yu, the grass people are stone piers, and he is a stonemason outside the city."

"Well, what's the matter? You know, as soon as this drum sounds, something big is going to happen. If you beat the drum indiscriminately, the official will beat you with a hundred boards and parade through the streets! ”

Shi Dunzi hurriedly kowtowed: "The grass people don't dare!" It was really the Hun family of the grass people who was killed at home, so they came to avenge their grievances! ”

Xie Bingzhou turned his face to the side and asked, "Oh?" Who, then, are you going to sue? ”

Shi Dunzi raised his head, pointed at Zhou Xiaocao and said loudly: "It's him!" The grass people received the news that someone was going to be against me and told me to go out and take shelter. The grass people were frightened, so they ran to the mountains and hid. However, after all, I couldn't rest assured, and I secretly turned back, and happened to see this person coming out of my house. I didn't know him, so I hurriedly went into the house to ask my Hun family, but I only saw the corpse of the Hun family! ”

Then, Shi Dunzi threw himself on the ground and cried loudly: "Please also ask the master to be the master of the grass people!" This villain must have hurt my wife! I touched it, and the Hun family's body was cold! The grass people followed him all the way to the yamen, and then the drum of injustice sounded. Master, you must be the master of the grass people! ”

Xie Bingzhou slanted his face at Zhou Xiaocao and asked, "Zhou Xiaocao, do you have anything to say?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao jumped up and said loudly: "I have something to say!" I have a lot to say! My lord, I think I have found not only the murderer of the Shidunzi Hun family, but also the murderer of the wild cat, and the thief who stole the treasury silver! ”

Xie Bingzhou's face was full of blood, his face was red, and his hands trembled with excitement: "What did you say?" Have you found the culprit behind the theft of the treasury silver? That"

However, after all, he still woke up to his gaffe, and hurriedly forced his composure and asked: "So, tell me who is the murderer of Shidunzi's daughter-in-law!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said to Xie Bingzhou: "Lord Xie, please allow me to sell a pass." I think that if you follow me to the scene where the wild cats were killed, I believe that the wild cats will tell us the answer. ”

Zheng Zheng said loudly: "Nonsense! People are already dead, can they still speak? ”

Zhou Xiaocao smiled and said to Zheng Zheng: "Why is Mr. Zheng so angry? How do you know that the wildcat is dead? ”

Zheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then isn't that what you just said!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao squinted his eyes and said, "Really? Then Mr. Zheng, can you tell me, why do you suddenly have a stomachache? Why do I think you feel like your leg hurts? ”

Zheng Zheng twisted his face and said, "Hmph! Nonsense! ”

Zhou Xiaocao ignored him and said to Xie Bingzhou: "Lord Xie, please follow me to the scene of the murder, and I will give you an explanation." Moreover, the murderer can't run away! ”
