As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked into a cold sweat. Several people hurriedly rummaged through the Rong Zhizhai for suspicious ink strips. But I turned it inside and out, and I didn't find the one with a bloody smell that Aunt Zhu said. Li Zhuoran saw that Changfan's demeanor had improved, and hurriedly helped him to the chair under the window and asked, "Changfan, what was the situation when you came in?" Did you see Shopkeeper Rong killed? ”

Changfan steadied his mind and said: "When I came in, I only saw the curtain move, thinking that the shopkeeper Rong was about to run, so I hurriedly bypassed the counter, but I saw the two of them lying on the ground behind the counter, and the blood in their throats gushed outward one by one. As he spoke, he didn't dare to look over the counter, one hand shaking. Seeing this, Li Zhuoran patted Changfan's shoulder and said, "That means that when you came in, those three people had already run away?" Shopkeeper Rong is dead? ”

Changfan shook his head, and said with a somewhat frightened face: "When I saw the shopkeeper Rong on the ground, he was still breathing, his eyes were staring straight at me, and his mouth was open one by one, as if he wanted to say something. Li Zhuoran heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What did he say, did you hear it?" Changfan shook his head again: "Although I was scared in my heart, I felt that this matter had something to do with the master, so I leaned over to listen to what he was saying, but his throat was broken, and as soon as he spoke, blood came out of his mouth, and blood came out of his throat, and he couldn't hear anything clearly, and he lost his breath after a word." ”

Li Zhuoran asked unrelentingly: "Then what kind of mouth shape does he have, what does he seem to say?" Can you follow suit? Changfan said: "I can't see it, I can't see it when I get closer, and I'm splashed with blood." Li Zhuoran followed Changfan's gaze and looked at the blood splattered on his body, feeling very annoyed in his heart, if he didn't go east to find Wang Hui first, but came to Rong Zhizhai first, maybe he could stop this killing, and he could have the evidence to rescue Qingzhou.

Wang Hui came over at this time and said, "Zhuo Ran, I'm going to take Changfan to the mansion later, ask about it, you take the family of the Zhao Mansion back, and wait for my news." Seeing that Changfan was still in shock, Li Zhuoran got up and said, "I'll go to the yamen with you, and when you finish asking, I'll take Changfan back to Zhao's mansion." Wang Hui glanced back at Shao Shoutie, nodded and said, "That's fine, if something like this happens, the official feels a little tricky, and I want to hear the opinions of the two of you." ”

While speaking, Wang Hui's subordinates hurriedly came to Rongzhizhai. Li Zhuoran instructed Aunt Zhu to take her family back to the house first, and she, together with Wang Hui and Shao Shoutie, took Changfan to the Jiangning Mansion. Compared with the small and square pattern of the Zhao Mansion, the Jiangning County Ya can be described as very magnificent. This is a five-entry courtyard, half a mile away is laid with two bluestone slabs, leading directly to the two dark main entrances of the mansion.

Under the eaves on both sides of the door, there is a vermilion lacquer cowhide drum, which is propped up on the ebony high shelf, which is very eye-catching. Entering the main gate, facing the county hall of 18 zhang wide and 10 zhang deep, there are eight red pillars standing in the hall, supporting the layers of cyan roof tiles on the beams, a group of majesty and neatness. Standing at the door and looking into the hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a plaque that reads "Mirror Hanging", and in front of a very wide screen below is a boxwood case, on top of which is a piece of black locust wood, and a wooden barrel containing an arrow for orders.

Wang Hui took Li Zhuoran and Shao Shoutie around the screen, and came to the second wing room in the garden from the back door of the lobby, which is where Wang Hui usually examines the case file. Li Zhuoran sat down and asked, "Lord Wang, I just saw the official messenger take Changfan to the back." Wang Hui said: "It's okay Zhuo Ran, this is a rule, and it can be regarded as a passing scene, just now only Changfan saw this murder in person, which is considered a human witness, so I must go to court to ask about it later." ”

Li Zhuoran said: "It's good for adults to arrange, I don't mean anything else, it's just that Changfan, this kid is timid, just don't scare him anymore." Wang Hui smiled and said, "What does Zhuo Ran think of me here?" The dignified Jiangning Mansion, what do you do to scare a child? Shao Shoutie smiled slightly: "I can see that Brother Zhuo Ran is very interested in Changfan. Li Zhuoran lowered his head and said: "Qingzhou is in dire straits, I have been here for two days, and I can't use my strength at all, if I fold the long sail into it again, there will be no way to explain, so I can't help but be cautious." ”

Shao Shoutie nodded and exclaimed: "I have heard that the Seven Heroes of Liuting are brave and brave, and when I saw Zhuoran today, I believed it all." Hearing this, Li Zhuoran hurriedly raised his head and said, "Seven Heroes of Liuting? Who did Mr. Shao listen to? Shao Shoutie didn't know why Li Zhuoran suddenly became excited, so he only lightly slapped the paper fan in his hand twice, and said, "I thought of it myself." Li Zhuoran's face became a little serious, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Shao should not say this in the future, after all, the seven of us are more or less involved in the imperial court, and it is not good to be regarded as forming a party for personal gain." ”

Shao Shou Railway: "It's my negligence, I shouldn't have said that." Zhuo Ran doesn't have to worry, this name is my own name, and I have never said it on the rivers and lakes. Li Zhuoran nodded and said: "It's okay for me to be careless, it's just that they in Qingzhou can't be hurt anymore, Mr. Shao, Lord Wang, let's talk about this case." Wang Hui listened to the conversation between Li Zhuoran and Shao Shoutie, and said: "Zhuoran, do you know that I have worked with Qingzhou in Jiangning for many years, and my friendship is not shallow, and Slender Tie is my friend of eight worships. ”

When Li Zhuoran heard Wang Hui's words, he trusted the two people in front of him even more, so he put what he thought in his heart without any scruples: "This case is just a mess, one is entangled with the other, and it can't be solved." Shao Shoutie said: "I don't understand it either, just talk about my thoughts." First of all, the most puzzling thing is that if someone uses cuttlefish juice to harm people, how does he calculate accurately, Lord Zhao will definitely use this piece of ink to write a chapter, in case Lord Zhao uses it to write something else, put it aside and find that the words are missing, then this plan cannot be implemented, and Lord Zhao will definitely find that there is a problem with the ink. ”

Wang Hui said: "I heard Qingzhou say that the time for the assassin to hand over the chapter to the official family is fixed, and if the time for Zhu Damiang's purchase is also fixed, someone has calculated the date when these two things coincide and implemented this plan, which is reasonable." Shao Shoutie shook his head and said: "This matter is too difficult to control, who can guarantee that Aunt Zhu will take this fake ink to Lord Zhao when she returns home." Even if the days of these two events coincide on the same day, who can guarantee that Lord Zhao will not write something else before writing the recital? ”
