Zhao Qiujin looked at the old beggar in front of her, although she also felt that what the old beggar said was a bit ridiculous, she had never been out of the palace, especially recently.

So, how could this old beggar have seen her in Shanshui Village?

But could the old beggar be the only witness, or could he have seen the wrong person in a panic, or could he have seen someone who looked like him as himself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiujin could only be patient and asked the old beggar a few questions again, wanting to see if he had really passed through Shanshui Village that night.

"You said you passed through Shanshui Village that night, so what did you pass through this village for?"

The old beggar looked at Zhao Qiujin in front of him, and stepped back in a panic, looking at a panic, as if he was afraid of her, as if she was a female devil.

The old beggar didn't answer any of Zhao Qiujin's questions, Zhao Qiujin could only sigh, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm next to an official now, even if I'm really a bad person, do I have the courage to really do it to you at this time?" These are all court officials!

So, you'd better make it clear what happened, and we will also send someone to protect your safety and not let you be in any danger.

What's more, if I were really a murderer, would I still be able to stand here calmly now? Going with the county magistrate's people to find out about this? ”

The old beggar sighed, raised his eyes tremblingly and glanced at Zhao Qiujin, and then stared at her again, looking her up and down.

Although the woman he saw that night did look exactly the same as Zhao Qiujin, there was no difference, but the eyes of the two people looked completely different.

And now this person is by the side of the official, even if she really has the intention to kill, it is estimated that she does not have such courage.

Thinking of this, the old beggar was a little bolder, and then he cowered and recounted what had happened.

"That night, I was outside the village, and before I entered the village, I happened to see those people coming towards the village in a menacing manner, all of them wearing black night clothes, and the leader was a woman, who looked exactly like you, exactly the same ......"

When he said this, the old beggar looked at Zhao Qiujin's eyes, and it was clear that something was not quite right, and he seemed to be really scared when he looked at her.

Zhao Qiujin just glanced at the old beggar lightly, she knew that the old beggar's panic was not pretended, his legs trembled like a sieve, if he really pretended to be, it was probably not so realistic.

Zhao Qiujin sighed, and had no choice but to say: "You don't have to be so scared now, you just tell the truth, and I can do it too, but I can assure you that the person who appeared here that night was definitely not me."

It's possible that someone who looks exactly like me will appear, and that's possible. ”

The old beggar looked at Zhao Qiujin's tone of voice now, which seemed to be a little different from the person he saw that night, and he was a little bold in his heart.

Besides, there are so many officers and soldiers here now, and he is not so afraid.

It seems to make some sense, the woman that night looked vicious.

And she didn't say a word, and after taking those people into the village, she began to kill and plunder.

"At that time, I saw that they killed the first person, so I quickly ran away from under that pier, how dare I stay, it was terrible, I saw that blood splattered so much."

Zhao Qiujin glanced at Zhang Yunfan, and then, Zhang Yunfan took the old beggar to the yamen and asked the old beggar in detail what happened.

It turned out that the old beggar had planned to go into the village to pray, but who knew that after walking a few steps, he saw that there were people killing people here, and he felt frightened in his heart, so he secretly fled.

I thought that only some people were persecuted, but who knows, there are no people in the whole village.

"I'm just glad I got out, and I'm no longer useful, but it's better than dying under that knife."

Zhao Qiujin looked at his frightened look now, and knew that it was impossible for him to lie, but as soon as she approached the old beggar, the old beggar began to dodge.

It seems that he is really afraid, "I have already said, in broad daylight, are you still worried that this handkerchief in my hand can be turned into a sword and pierce you?" ”

The old beggar kept his head down and did not speak, but he had already explained everything he knew.

"Master Zhang, what should I do now, I have explained everything to you, will that person come to me for revenge?"

Zhang Yunfan sighed, "You can rest assured about this, I will send someone to protect your safety, but you don't have to worry too much, these clues you provided have no effect at all, except that you saw the person who took the lead and ...... She's kind of alike.

You said that everyone else was wearing black veils, and you couldn't see what they looked like? ”

The old beggar nodded, "Yes, all of them are in one attire, and each of them has a knife in his hand. ”

After Zhao Qiujin heard this detail, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then immediately said to the old beggar: "Since you said that you saw them holding knives in their hands, do you remember what the knife looks like?" Since you can't see the appearance of those people, because they are all wearing black night clothes, you should see the knives in their hands, right? ”

When the old beggar heard this, he immediately nodded, he naturally saw this clearly, and also knew what the knife looked like.

"Master Zhang, do you want to know what that knife looks like?"

Zhang Yunfan nodded, pointed to the knife of the guard next to him, and asked, "Is it the same as his knife?" ”

The old beggar immediately shook his head, "You can bring pen and paper, and I'll draw it for you." ”

When Zhang Yunfan heard this, he immediately asked his subordinates to bring paper and pens over, and then asked the old beggar to sit there and start drawing.

Zhao Qiujin thought that she would see a picture of four different things, but who knows, this old beggar is really decent when he paints it.

The cold weapon drawn also looks very realistic, "Is this the knife you saw that night?" You're a good drawer, aren't you? What did you do before, how did you end up like a beggar with nothing? ”

Zhao Qiujin looked at his painting, it looked really level, if it was said that a person who was so good at painting, in the end, he was reduced to this, it was really a bit undeserved.

The old beggar sighed, "It's useless to be a scholar, after I failed the imperial examination that year, I became a painting seller, but no one has always liked my paintings, and naturally, my paintings have declined." ”

Speaking of this, the old beggar sighed, he had no power to tie the chicken, he couldn't carry it on his shoulders, what could he do, and naturally he would become a beggar.
