The six servants who came with them were also very capable of fighting, but the number of opponents in front of them was more than twice as many as them, so they seemed more passive for a while.

At this time, Diao Saburo had given up the pursuit of the "Wei Sanye", and freed his hands to join the war group here, and it was not a problem for him to deal with four alone, so that the situation was reversed in an instant, and the soldiers suddenly doubled their confidence and spirit, and used all their strength to beat these villains, so that they intercepted and retreated, three were captured, and the rest fled in embarrassment.

The villagers witnessed the process of punishing the stubborn officials, and some people couldn't help but cheer, and as a result, everyone shouted one after another, so that a cheer was formed.

It was the first time that Diao Saburo and the servants were praised so warmly by the people, and they were also happy in their hearts, and it took a long time for everyone to gradually quiet down, and then they arched their hands,

"Fathers and fellow villagers, if you encounter treacherous and stubborn again, you must not swallow your anger, and fight them bravely, we Lord He will definitely make decisions for the innocent people!"

"Thank you, gentlemen!"

Diao Saburo's words drew a response from the villagers, and the officers were also in high spirits to do some aftermath work, and then prepared to escort several arrested guys back to the county.

Seeing that the courtyard of the Zhou family had been almost cleaned up, Diao Saburo turned his head and looked for Zong Jiyuan with his eyes, but saw that she was talking to Zhou Zitong, looking at the serious expressions on the faces of the two, it should be a very important thing.

In fact, his guess was not bad at all, at this time, Zong Jiyuan's most concerned thing was no longer Wang San's simple blackmail, her focus had long been on the cause of death of the Zhou family's uncle and Zhou Ziyi.

Seeing that those accomplices couldn't make any trouble, Zong Jiyuan pulled Zhou Zitong aside and asked,

"Zhou Gongzi, did your eldest brother and sister-in-law have any symptoms of this disease before?"

"No,"

As soon as he mentioned this, Zhou Zitong began to feel that something was wrong.

"Although the villain has rarely been at home in the past five years, I heard the servants say that the eldest brother and sister-in-law have always been in good health, and they are in the prime of life, how could they suddenly fall ill and die?"

"Do you think so too?"

Staring at his face, Zong Jiyuan thought for a moment and said,

"Can this master ask a few questions to those servants of yours?"

"Of course you can,"

While answering briskly, Zhou Zitong turned around and said hello,

"Uncle Ji, Aunt Ji, come here, Master has something to ask you!"

"Ah, yes!"

The two servants, a man and a woman, came over in agreement, nodded and asked,

"Second master, master, what is the matter?"

"Nothing else,"

Zong Jiyuan smiled slightly,

"I just want to hear the details of Uncle Zhou's husband and wife when they died one after another."

"Your Excellency, you're asking this,"

is called Uncle Ji, that is, the servant who just fetched clear water for Zong Jiyuan,

"It's really strange to say, at that time, the villains were only busy and forgot to tell the second master."

"Oh? What a strange method? ”

Zong Jiyuan asked.

Uncle Ji recalled for a while, and said while thinking,

Early the next morning after the second grandmother came back, the eldest grandmother said before she got up, saying that she had chest pain and couldn't breathe, and then her face was bruised and she couldn't even speak. At that time, the uncle hurriedly asked the little one to invite Langzhong, but when we rushed back, the eldest grandmother was already helpless......"

"Oh...... So what's going on with the uncle? ”

After a little thought, Zong Jiyuan then asked.

Although he knew that she would definitely ask this question, Uncle Ji still made a sad "sigh",

"The uncle is in the same situation, he originally planned to mourn for the eldest grandmother, so he sent a letter to the second master and asked him to come back. But on the day the second master came back, the uncle had the same symptoms as the eldest grandmother, also chest pain, breathlessness, after seeing the second master, he passed away without saying a few words......"

"I see,"

After hearing this, Zong Jiyuan nodded and said,

"Uncle Ji, Aunt Ji, listen to what you just said, were all the meals cooked by the second grandmother in those days?"

"yes,"

Aunt Ji nodded again and again,

"After the second grandmother came back, she said that she wanted to 'change her past' and be a good wife or something, and then rushed to the kitchen to cook for everyone......"

"So, was anyone there when she was doing this?"

Zong Jiyuan asked carefully.

Aunt Ji nodded without thinking,

"The little woman was worried that she would not be able to do well, so she watched from the sidelines, and besides, we all ate the food she cooked, and we didn't feel bad......"

"Yes......"

In this way, the problem is not in those meals, probably because the "second grandmother" ate or drank something for Zhou Ziyi and his wife in private, which is really not necessarily, and she is just covering up for everyone.

Thinking of this, Zong Jiyuan asked again,

"So, have you cleaned all the dishes and other things that you used in those days?"

"It's all washed......

The two servants looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Seeing the self-reproachful appearance of the two of them, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but smile, waved his hand and said,

"It doesn't have to be that way, you didn't do anything wrong."

"But, master,"

After listening to this for most of the day, Zhou Zitong seemed to understand something, and said,

"Originally, the servants were a little suspicious of the second room, but the grass people were not sure, but after listening to what you meant just now, could you ...... say?"

"yes,"

Knowing what he wanted to say, Zong Jiyuan nodded,

"The violent death of my brother and sister-in-law is by no means normal, although the specific cause still needs to be investigated carefully, but it is very likely that it is poisoning."

"Yes, yes, yes......"

said several "may" words in a row, but Zhou Zitong couldn't say anything more.

Seeing his chaotic appearance, Zong Jiyuan comforted softly,

"Don't worry, if they are really victimized, then Master Ben and the county magistrate He will definitely make the decision for their grievances."

"Thank you, Master, it's all up to you and Lord Zhixian ......"

Listening to the other party's promise, Zhou Zitong suddenly fell to the ground.

When Zong Jiyuan saw it, he hurriedly helped him up and said,

"However, there is one thing that still needs your permission, that is, don't rush into the burial first, and wait for the county government's Mr. Zuo to inspect and confirm it for the brother and sister-in-law, and then it can be officially opened as a case."

"Good, good, it's up to you."

At this time, Zhou Zitong had great trust in this young county master, and what the other party said was fully accepted.

While the two were talking, Diao Saburo came closer,

"Master, shouldn't you go back with those guys?"
