"There are countless powerful people in the capital, how can they allow a person who has no foundation to bathe Longen, this case, thanks to the cracking, if it is not broken, those who are waiting to see Xu Chong's jokes still don't know how to fall into the ground. Therefore, on the day when he was given Shang Fang's sword, Xu Chong asked the first emperor to resign on the grounds of poor health, hoping that the first emperor could let him return to his homeland and be a leisurely idler, and the first emperor, because he knew Xu Chong's hardships, was approved. It's just that Shang Fang's sword, but his old man did not take it back because of Xu Chong's resignation, but still gave it to him as a reward for Xu Chong to find the Buddha statue. ”

"So he doesn't handle cases anymore?" Mu lame shook his head to express pity, "But it's a little cowardly to retreat in the face of difficulties." ”

"'You can't ask everyone to be Li Youju', this is what my father said after Xu Chong's resignation," Speaking of this, Zhao Zimai lowered his head and smiled, "But Xu Chong has not stopped handling cases since then, I heard that although he has no official position, he often assists the Maocheng County Government to handle cases, and he has also cracked many strange cases, and has been caught by the locals as a hot hand." ”

"When it comes to solving the case, you are not far behind," Sang sneered on the side, "When you were in Sanping Village, you actually found blood stains in the stove, but I never figured it out, why did you go to check the stove?" ”

Hearing it coldly mention Sanping Village, Zhao Zimai's expression was grim, he turned his back, and the light in his eyes seemed to be suddenly extinguished, "When Gu Yuming returned to his soul, I found that the Yu family looked nervous, and he didn't ask who the murderer was at all. Later, Gu Yuming's soul was devoured, and not only did she not show her pain, but she breathed a sigh of relief. These strange performances caught my attention, and Gu Yuming was burned to death, if it was really done by the Yu family, and she wanted to be unaware, then the only place she could commit the crime was the stove in her yard. So, in the dead of night, I went to check the stove, and sure enough, I found the only remaining blood stain inside. ”

"Since you know that Yu killed someone, why did you hide it for her? You still admired Xu Chong's strict law enforcement, why did you change when you came to yourself? A wicked smile overflowed from the corner of Sang's mouth, it had been holding this sentence in its heart, and now it finally came out, it depended on how Zhao Zimai explained.

"The law is dead, but human favor is alive, and the law is not used to imprison human affection. Yu killed her husband in order to save her children, which seems to me to be illegal but reasonable. It's just that she didn't know at the time that Gu Yuming was not willing to kill Xiaoling, but just let her float away. I pity the three children, and both parents are lost, but fortunately Susan has taken them in, and I think she will provide them with a stable and happy life. ”

"That's right, not to mention that there are evil laws in this law." Sang muttered.

Zhao Zimai couldn't understand, he always felt that it was weird recently, as if it was hiding something on his mind, but it was such a person, no, a guy who didn't know whether to call it a person or something else, what would it do?

was hesitating to ask if he wanted to ask, Baotian's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, "Childe, what are you doing standing here?" This hall is full of people, there are people singing, there are people who make paintings and inscriptions, there are people who sell all kinds of novelties, and there are people fighting. ”

***

The fight was between the locals of Maocheng, one was Hu Bing, a merchant who sold medicinal materials, and the other was Li Yong, a local squire, and the reason for the fight was just that both of them drank too much wine, and they quarreled over an inexplicable topic, and no one wanted to fall behind, so they finally made a move. The result of the fight was that Li Yong lost, not because of his mercy, but because he pounced on Hu Bingshi, hit his head on the corner of the chair, and had a big pimple on his forehead.

Fights are common in the Nanshan Guild Hall, and there are many troubles after drinking, and there are always a few chaos every few days. But this time it was a little different, because Li Yong disappeared that night.

Three days later, his body was found in the woods behind Hu Bing's house, and Hu Bing was taken away by the government.

According to many people testifying: Li Yong went to look for Hu Bing on the night of his disappearance, and Hu Bing himself admitted this, he said that he slept until midnight that night, and suddenly woke up for some reason, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a person standing by the bed, and the figure should be Li Yong, and he was still holding a bright knife in his hand.

During the fight, he seemed to snatch the knife and inserted the knife into Li Yong's stomach, he still remembered that Li Yong fled for his life in a hurry and followed him out, but he didn't remember what happened afterwards at all. Because he had drunk too much that day, when he woke up, he found himself lying in his yard with the blood-stained knife beside him.

Therefore, when the people from the government came to inquire, Hu Bing was so frightened that the six gods were lost, and he quickly explained the causes and consequences of his killing. However, when Wu Yuanli asked "Why did you cut Li Yong's face", Hu Bing was confused.

Yes, Li Yong's face was cut off, not only was his face cut off, but many important organs and skin on his body were also cut off, and when he was discovered, he was naked, and there was no intact place on his body, which was very terrifying.

"I ...... No...... No, I ...... I don't remember me skinning him......"

Hu Bing's answer was hesitant, obviously denying it, but when he said it, it seemed like he had admitted the crime. Therefore, Wu Yuanli sneered at him "hehe", and after laughing a few times, he threw the knife that he hid under the bed in front of him, "Lord Xu has already experienced it, the hair left on this knife is exactly the same as that on the corpse, listen up, it was personally tested by Lord Xu Chong, you have nothing to say, right?" You ate too much wine that night, and you don't remember many things clearly, but this evidence won't deceive people, Hu Bing, I advise you to confess quickly. ”

Xu Chong's reputation was like thunder, and everyone in Maocheng knew it, so after Wu Yuanli said this, Hu Bing didn't say a word anymore, and let the officials take him away.

Seeing that he was carried out by two officials, Wu Yuanli exhaled, tidied up his clothes, and said with a smile, "This case is easy to solve, unlike the case of the Yang family, which took so many days." ”

"The case has been solved, but my lord, why didn't Lord Xu come with him today? I saw him yesterday as if he was preoccupied, I wonder if something happened at home? A small official asked.

Wu Yuanli frowned, "Oh? Is it? Could it be that Lord Xu's mother is sick again? But I didn't hear him say it, but when he brought the murder weapon to me yesterday, he did seem to be in bad spirits, and I don't know what's wrong. ”
