An old woman at the head was about to talk to him, when she suddenly saw Xiao Jiading, a scholar in a robe surrounded by a knife and soap, with a happy face, bypassing Luo Cunzheng, coming to Xiao Jiading, raising an old face full of wrinkles, and said, "...... you, you are Xiao Zhiyi of the county government?" ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly said: "I am, old man, are you ......?" ”

Luo Cunzheng on the side hurriedly came over and said, "Xiao Zhiyi, she is Jin Laosan's wife." ”

When Jin Mu heard that he was Xiao Jiading, she suddenly burst into tears, and fell to her knees with a bang, and the men and women next to her also knelt down.

Mother Jin cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Xiao Zhiyi, you have to be the master of my Jin family." My son Jin Laosan died in an unknown way, but no one paid attention to us. I know that Liu Xiang, who killed a thousand knives, did it, if I can't avenge him, my hard-working son is in the spirit of the sky, and I can't turn a blind eye......"

Xiao Jiading hurriedly supported her arm and said, "Old man, hurry up, if you have something to say, you can't do this." ”

Jin Mu cried and slowly got up, held Xiao Jiading's arm, and followed him into Luo Cunzheng's yard.

Because there were a lot of people from the Jin family, Luo Cunzheng instructed that only Jin Laosan's daughter-in-law and concubine could help the old man to come in, and everyone else was waiting outside.

When he arrived at the main hall and sat down, Xiao Jiading said, "Old man, what's going on, you say." ”

Jin's mother was so excited that she kept crying, but she helped his daughter-in-law to help her, and this daughter-in-law was also Jin Laosan's original partner Pang Zi. Although Pang Zi was also crying, it did not affect his speech: "Our lord used to have a good relationship with Liu Xiangzheng's family, and we will obediently send him whatever Liu Xiangzheng wants." But the sister-in-law of the Liu family is a fox, his man died, she couldn't bear it, the ** man everywhere, it was also our master's life, and she used fox charm to take away her soul. was told by Liu Xiangzheng, tied up our master and paraded the streets, hung him on a tree and beat him to death. Later, he had to take him to Shentang, and it was useless for his mother-in-law to cry and beg, and then I didn't know what the fox said to Liu Xiangzheng, and Liu Xiangzheng let him go, and he didn't even send him to the official. When I got home, I asked Lang Zhong in the village to see it, and I felt that the injury was a bit serious, and said that it was best to send it to the city for treatment. So he went in a carriage. I went and never came back! Woowoooooooo

Ponzi began to cry. Xiao Jiading said: "Don't cry first, I'll ask you something." ”

Ponzi immediately stopped crying and looked at him with teary eyes.

Xiao Jiading asked: "When he goes to the city, does anyone follow?" ”

"Yes, there are three people with handlebars and two followers."

"Then why didn't Master Jin see him, they didn't know what to do?"

They said that when they were on the road, there was a big tree that fell on the road, and the handlebar type and his entourage got out of the car to move the big tree, and the big tree was very heavy, and the three of them spent a long time to move the big tree away, and came back to report to the master, but there was no response in the carport, so they went in to take a look, and found that the old man was gone. At first, they thought it was the old man's internal urgency, and it was convenient to go to the roadside, so they waited for a while and didn't see it back, so they were in a hurry, and shouted everywhere to find it, but they couldn't find it after searching all around. Then I hurried back to report. We searched everywhere, and on the third day, we found his body by the Geumgang River......"

Speaking of this, I cried again. The concubine on the side was quite calm, and continued to cry: "We suspect that the master was arrested by Liu Xiangzheng's people, so we went to the yamen to complain." However, after the yamen came to see it, they said that they had found no signs of murder, and after asking about the cause and effect, they said that our master must have been caught for a scandalous thing, and he was afraid of being punished by the yamen, so he committed suicide by stealing the river. - Our lord is not such a person who can't think about it, and he hasn't done anything like stealing food, how can he jump into the river for such a thing? Besides, the day before I found the old man's body, I heard that Liu Xiangzheng's sister-in-law also hanged herself! We are even more suspicious, it is not the first time that the fox has stolen people, but why did he hang himself? I'm afraid it wasn't Liu Xiangzheng who murdered, right? But we don't have any evidence......"

When they said this, the golden mother had already relieved herself a little, took Xiao Jiading's hand and cried: "Xiao Zhiyi, my son Jin Laosan will never commit suicide, he is my son, I know him too well, he didn't commit suicide in the past things that were more embarrassing than this, why should he die again in this matter?" Moreover, if he wants to die, why should he think about it halfway? Why do you want to go to Jinjiang to jump into the river? From there to Jinjiang, there are still thirty or forty miles to go! He was going to die, why didn't he untie his trouser belt and hang himself on a tree, so he ran so far to jump into the Jinjiang River? So, my son didn't commit suicide, he was murdered by Liu Xiangzheng, but the yamen ignored it, we have no choice, I heard that you have arrested this Liu Xiangzheng now, and I am very happy, I will come to beg you, and also investigate the tragic death of my son, and avenge my son. ”

Xiao Jiading nodded: "Don't worry, since Liu Xiangzheng has already committed a crime, then all the things involved in his case must be investigated!" Especially your case. To get to the bottom of this case, we need your cooperation. When I ask you, answer truthfully. ”

"Good!" The three women all nodded in agreement, and thanked them one after another.

Xiao Jiading said: "Where is the place where Master Jin disappeared?" ”

"It's not far from the village, probably less than five miles away."

Xiao Jiading's eyes lit up, and the Broken Mouth Cliff was five or six miles away from Huangyan Village in the direction of Yizhou. The location is exactly the same as the place where Liu Xiangzheng said that Jin Laosan jumped into the river without paying attention! And the time coincides with what Wang Dalang said about hearing Liu Xiangzheng's thug Hongshan passing by!

From this point of view, Jin Laosan is likely to be abducted by Hong Shan, a thug sent by Liu Xiangzheng, on the road, taken to the Broken Mouth Cliff to be killed, and then thrown into the river to extinguish!

Hongshan must be arrested immediately!

Xiao Jiading said to Jin's mother: "Where is your son's body buried?" ”

"It's in the ancestral graveyard outside our village."

"Okay, I might have to open the coffin for an autopsy, do you agree?"

"Okay, as long as I catch my son's murderer, I will promise anything!"

"Okay, you go back first, and I'll start investigating this case right away."

As soon as they heard this, the Jin Mu and the others were very happy, and they didn't dare to delay Xiao Jiading, so they cried and thanked and left.

Xiao Jiading called Dai Tou and them in and studied the arrest plan. Then Liu Xiangzheng and Zhao were left at Luo Cunzheng's house, guarded by the local Minzhuang and two catchers, not at ease, and left Huiyi's senior sister Hui Shi to help guard, so he took Luo Cunzheng, Dai Catcher and other catchers, and took more than a dozen Minzhuang, left Huangyan Village, and went to Chiliu Village, where the Township Office is located.

Huiyi has been following Xiao Jiading, because she is wearing a night suit, a black scarf wrapped around her head, and she hardly speaks, so no one pays attention to her, and thinks it is a helper invited by Xiao Jiading.

On their way to Chiliu Village on horseback, Xiao Jiading whispered to Huiyi: "I may have to do it later, can you help me?" ”

"Good!" Huiyi just said a simple word, her expression was very indifferent, and she didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.

Seeing that she was so confident, Xiao Jiading was also relieved.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, according to the established plan, they quietly sneaked into the village and took advantage of the night to come to the courtyard of Liu Xiangzheng's house.

This Liu Xiangzheng's house is really a mansion, although in the night, it is also magnificent, and the two stone lions at the door are more than one person high, which is very majestic.

Not far from Xiao Jiading and the others, Luo Cun was riding a horse to the door, turned over the saddle and dismounted, stepped forward to knock on the door, and shouted loudly. The door soon opened, and a porter probed out, and when he saw that it was him, he was a little surprised, and looked around, there was no movement in the black hole, and asked, "Is there something going on in Luo Village?" ”

Luo Cun was following the discussion, and said in a panic: "Oh no! Fast! Liu Xiangzheng is fighting with the people of the Jin Laosan family! The two little guys have been knocked unconscious, and Liu Xiangzheng is also injured, so let me hurry up and find someone to help! ”

The porter was taken aback, he naturally knew the contradiction between the Jin family and the Liu family, and knew that Liu Xiang was heading towards Huangyan Village, and was convinced of the news, so he hurriedly went in to report it, and soon, a big man came out with seven or eight family members, it was Liu Xiangzheng's escort Hongshan, they went out of Zhuangzi and led the horse to rush out of the village.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, suddenly, the Hongshan horse that rushed to the front stumbled and fell forward, followed by other servants who also stumbled and fell. But it turned out that Dai Catcher commanded the catcher to set up a tripping horse here, tripping them all.

Immediately afterwards, Dai Zhutou and others shouted: "We are the Yamen Catcher!" Ordered to take people, not to move! "Jumped out, with the catcher, and a dozen people, almost two against one, pressed and tied with iron ropes or ropes.

It was Dai Catcher and two other good catchers who dealt with Hong Shan, but even though they had already held down Hong Shan, they saw that the two catchers were hit by Hong Shan, screaming and flying upside down, and blood sprayed wildly on the ground. Dai Zhutou held a single knife, and Hong Shan, who was holding a soft whip, fought fiercely for more than a dozen rounds in the blink of an eye, and was beaten back again and again.

Xiao Jiading saw that the momentum was not right, and was about to let Huiyi next to him make a move. Huiyi had already flown out, a clear steel sword in her hand, and flew away.

After hearing a series of crisp sounds, Huiyi shouted softly: "Medium! ”

Hong Shan snorted, his arm hit the sword, and the soft whip took off his hand.

Hong Shan took a few steps back and stared at Huiyi: "Emei faction? ”

"If you still have a little vision, get on your knees!"

Hong Shan suddenly raised his hand, and three flying knives shot out, not at Huiyi, but at Xiao Jiading!
