"Then, to be honest, I was also a little scared at the time, afraid that what would happen if the Hu family really dragged me to see the official,"

Speaking of this, Zong Ji seemed to remember something, and seemed a little embarrassed,

"However, at that time, this friend surnamed Lin said to me that the Hu family did not dare to go to the official at all, first of all, because the lady of his family did not know where he came from, so she was afraid of looking for trouble; Secondly, this friend also told me that if the Hu family really said that they wanted to see the officials, let me tell them that I have a cousin named Zong Jiyuan, who is a master in the county government, and if they meet the officials, it will definitely be the two brothers of the Hu family, and they will be afraid......"

It seems that the main problem in this matter is really in this "Lin Shiming", Zong Jiyuan involuntarily gritted his teeth and said slowly,

"So, think about it, what happened the night before?"

"The night before yesterday,"

At the mention of this, Zong Jicai's eyes also showed a trace of confusion,

"Actually, I was so drunk that I couldn't figure out what was going on. Because it has now come to the end of the year, and the family is busy with the New Year, the day before yesterday I came home from outside, as soon as my mother saw me, she started a fire for some reason, and scolded me for not having any skills, not even helping the family to do some work, I ran out of the house again in anger, and went to the tavern to drink......"

"Let me guess, did you see that 'Lin Shiming' again?"

Zong Jiyuan sneered and said.

Zong Ji was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at her with very admiring eyes,

"I said brother, no wonder you can be a master, you are so smart! I actually met him, and this guy was really good friends, and when he saw that I was in a bad mood, he invited me to drink, and later asked me what happened. I told him everything with the strength of my wine. Then Brother Lin was surprised and asked me, why hasn't the Hu family's affairs been settled yet? It's better to go to Hu's house that night, or bring a wife back, or bring back a hundred taels of silver, no matter which one, if you can bring it back, she can be impressed in front of the old lady.

After listening to him, I thought that it was indeed right, so I was ready to go to the Hu family to make a decision, who let the two of them scold me so ugly. At that time, Brother Lin not only paid for my wine, but also hired a carriage for me to take me to the gate of the Hu family.

And then...... Because I drank too much at the time, I don't remember it very clearly, probably because I was in a bad mood, and I scolded him very vigorously when I came to his door. Later, the boss of the Hu family went out to scold me, and I rushed into his yard with the strength of the hotel...... After that, it seemed to push him, who knows why the boss of the Hu family fell out a foot away without pushing, and hit his head on the stone mill. I don't know how he hit, and the alcohol came up, and he came out of his house in a groggy state, and I can't remember what happened after that, and I forgot how to get back to my own house......"

"I see,"

Zong Jiyuan had already understood the mystery of this, and asked,

"Zong Jicai, let me ask you, at that time, when you entered the Hu family's courtyard, were you sure that you were the only one who went in?"

"This, this...... It should be, although Brother Lin hired a carriage to take me there, but later, I didn't feel that he was following me......"

Zong Jicai recalled.

Putting down the pen that had been recording in his hand, Zong Jiyuan stared at him and asked,

"So, tell me now, what does that 'Lin Shiming' look like, how old is he, and what characteristics does he have?"

"He's, probably twenty-seven or eight years old, probably less than thirty ......."

Finding that his cousin's beautiful face suddenly became serious again, Zong Jicai was also a little nervous in his heart, and hurriedly tried to recall,

"He's tall, half a head taller than me...... He is very upright, he speaks in an orderly manner, and he is very good at convincing......"

"Yes......"

Listening to his narration, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but ponder.

I have been to the Hu family, the location of the stone mill is very clear, at least ten meters away from the gate, at the time of the incident, Zong Ji was already drunk, not to mention, his body is not strong at all, even if he enters the courtyard, he does not have so much strength to push the boss of the Hu family so far away, the person who can do this must be with martial arts.

On the other hand, although Zong Jicai didn't notice that there were people around him, but in his state at the time, even if someone followed him, he wouldn't know, if that person was still a person who knew martial arts, he would be able to easily appear around him without being discovered by him. In addition, Zhang Guizhen was too scared because it was dark and she was too scared at that time, so she didn't see the situation clearly at all.

In this way, Zong Ji was completely used by others-

But the question is, what kind of person is the "Lin Shiming" who has been using him, and why is he eyeing a person like Zong Jicai...... Could it be, is it because of his relationship with himself......

didn't have time to think about it any longer, Zong Jiyuan raised his head, looked at the cousin in front of him who still didn't know why, and said,

"Okay, I already know the details of what happened, cousin, this is a transcript I wrote, you see if there is anything wrong, if not, sign it and make a mark."

"Oh, okay......"

At this time, Zong Jicai had no idea at all, and blindly followed her instructions.

It wasn't until he waited for the other party to sign the words and draw the charge, Zong Jiyuan put away the confession, and then stared at him and said slowly,

"Zong Jicai, listen to me well and carefully. Now that the eldest brother of the Hu family has died after such a push, Hu Zhenli has already sued you in this county office, and we have also accepted it, and we will be promoted to the court tomorrow to ask about the case. ”

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Zong Jicai's face, which had just turned better, suddenly turned pale again, and he said in a continuous voice,

"But, why did you ...... just now?"

"Why don't you know your own?!"

Zong Jiyuan immediately interrupted、He spoke with an attempted questioning tone、,

"Don't you know that human life is at stake! The Hu family demanded that you be arrested immediately to correct the law, thinking that the eldest brother of the Hu family would take revenge, but after discussing with me, Master He thought that the case should be understood in detail, so I was allowed to ask you for a separate question. If it weren't for the fact that you were my cousin, you would have been thrown into prison by now, and you would have been allowed to say so much here? ”

"So, what should I do? You...... Please, brother, you must save me......"

When Zong Ji heard her words, he was already frightened, and his lips trembled and said.
