There were many people around the yamen notice board, Xie Yao followed the yamen to post notices from street to street, and the portrait of the man was plastered all over the streets of Cangxian County for a while.

So on the third day, there was finally a new development in the case.

On the seventh day of the mortuary of the restaurant shopkeeper today, the Qian Mansion found someone to enter the coffin and seal the body, and it will be buried today.

Liu Qisang was wearing mourning clothes and walking in front with a five-year-old boy, his eyes were red and swollen, and tears were pouring down. It is said that it is not pretty, you can see it by wearing filial piety, the old saying is honest and not deceiving, at this time, Liu Qisang was grief-stricken, and it added a feeling of beauty and pity.

They were followed by a long funeral procession, six people carrying the coffin, and some of them cried and wept loudly.

At the corner of the street, Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui were watching the team go away.

Liu Zhongkui pushed her and motioned in the direction of Liu Qisang, "Hey, grandma, did you see it?" That's what a woman is called! ”

Xie Yao was thinking about things, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes, frowned, and suddenly flew up at him, raised his apricot eyebrows slightly, and said, "Liu Zhongkui!" Are you cursing me to be a widow in the future?! ”

Liu Zhongkui was kicked by her, it didn't hurt or itch, and he retorted with a smile, "How is it possible, you won't be a widow." ”

He took two steps away and said, "You are so fierce, who dares to marry you!" ”

Poor and poor, Xie Yao was about to beat him again, and the arrester from the same yamen not far away rushed towards the two of them, saying, "Catch it!" ”

The two didn't react for a while, "What did you catch?" ”

"The murderer of the money shopkeeper has been caught!"

The money shopkeeper is the shopkeeper of the Spring Restaurant.

"How did you catch it?"

"Brothers stared at the Qian Mansion day and night, today at the funeral, a middle-aged man came out of the back door of the Qian Mansion, it was nothing, but the sharp-eyed brother always felt that the person was so familiar, when I thought about it, skimming off the beard, that person turned out to be very similar to the portrait on the painting, the brothers held him down on the spot, and after a while, he actually confessed, and quickly confessed and drew a detention."

The case was suddenly unexpectedly fast, and he told him the ins and outs of the matter as he walked.

It turned out that Wang Sheng and the money shopkeeper were old friends, and later the two went their separate ways, the money shopkeeper did a prosperous business and made a lot of money, and Wang Sheng was poor, and when he saw the money shopkeeper's life so smooth, he was jealous and killed him in a thought.

The testimony is reasonable, and this case has been tossed back and forth for more than half a month, and finally the dust is about to fall.

Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui were looking at Wang Sheng's painting confession in the file room, and there was a sudden commotion outside, and soon someone hurriedly stepped in, saw the two of them, and said, "Yao Yao Zhongkui, come out quickly, there is an order!" ”

The two of them went out of the house with him, and when they arrived in the courtyard of the government, they found that almost all the people on duty in Cangxian County were on duty today, and more than 30 people stood in a serious and serious manner on both sides.

The two hurriedly entered the column and stood up, I don't know why, but looking at this formation, it seems that something big is about to happen.

Coincidentally, she was standing next to the head catcher in Cangxian County, and the middle-aged man in his forties saw her hat crooked, straightened her with his hand, and admonished, "Be serious." ”

Xie Yao bared his teeth and smiled like a trumpet flower, "Thank you." ”

As he was talking, he heard movement at the door of the county office.

Wang Xiuhua, the county magistrate, was walking in with people and greeted him with a smile, "Lord Chu, the road has been running around, and it has been hard all the way. ”

A young man walked in at the door, about twenty-one or twelve years old, dressed in dark and red, embroidered with beautiful golden patterns on his clothes, the man's posture was tall, but his eyebrows and eyes were very cold, and his body had a calm majesty that was not commensurate with his age.

Xie Yao faintly smelled an absolute coercion.

She asked the person next to her in a curious whisper, "Head, who is this?" What a big shelf......"

Wu Kuan, the head of Cangxian County, knew that she was usually bold and afraid that she would get into trouble, so he couldn't help but tell him at this moment, "Don't provoke it, this is the squire of the criminal department from the capital, from the second grade, the only grandson of the old Chu Pavilion of the cabinet." ”

"Charge the Punishment Department? He looks so young. Xie Yao couldn't help but sigh, this person was already the only grandson of the second rank and the cabinet elder at a young age...... It can be seen how important it is to have a good background.

"Lord Chu is only twenty-two this year, did you hear about the case in Queensland three months ago?"

Xie Yao nodded, looking at the hall, but his ears were attentively listening to Wu Kuan's words.

The smuggling case that shocked Liguo for three months was so widely implicated that in the end, even the cabinet elder Liang had to write a book, introspecting that he was ashamed of his grace.

Wu Kuan said, "The chief judge of the Criminal Department, all the nine officials involved were executed, and the rest of the people who were exiled from the family, this Lord Chu acted vigorously and resolutely, without blinking an eye. ”

Xie Yao's heart sank, and when she spoke again, she couldn't help but bring a little admiration, and said, "It's so amazing..."She paused and asked, "Head, this kind of big man, what are you doing in our poor place?" ”

How would he know!

Wu Kuan shook his head, looked ahead with a serious gaze, pretended to be serious, and didn't speak again.

Xie Yao looked at the two people in the hall and didn't know what they were talking about, Wang Xiuhua nodded, he didn't dare to make a sound, and wrote the word "can't afford to offend" on his face.

It is not surprising that the county master is only a nine-grade county official, to put it simply and rudely, if this Lord Chu wants to trample him to death, it is as simple as crushing an ant to death.

harm, the official level crushes people to death, let alone so many levels.

Xie Yao was in a daze, the two of them didn't stay in the hall for too long, and soon came out, Wang Xiuhua ordered, "Come and follow Lord Chu to help." ”

Wu Kuan immediately went out and ordered the four people in the yamen who were very skilled, and the five of them followed Chu Zhao out of the yamen.

After a few people left and the officials dispersed, Liu Zhongkui, who was very clever on weekdays, stepped up and said, "My lord, but what happened?"

"Go, go, go and put the file in order, don't get involved in this."

It seems to be a real deal!

Liu Zhongkui didn't think so, anyway, even if he didn't know it now, he would naturally know when the eldest brother came back.

What should everyone do, as soon as he turned around, there was no one in the courtyard, and when he saw Xie Yao's figure dangling around the corner, he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Yaoyao, where are you going?" ”

"Let's go to the prison."

"Want to see Wang Sheng?"

Xie Yao nodded.

Liu Zhongkui said, "Do you think something is wrong?" ”

Xie Yao shook his head.

The two went to the prison, there were not many people in the prison, and when the cell boss saw the two of them, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Second Brother Liu, but who do you want to interrogate?" ”

"Which prison is Wang Sheng locked in?"

The cell boss took the key, walked in front and led the way, and said, "The one on the west side is locked up alone, and he is shackled to death, and this man is also interesting, he has been locked up for a day, he has not eaten or drunk, and he has not spoken when asked, so he sits there like a piece of wood." ”

When he arrived at the west cell, the cell boss was about to open the door, but Xie Yao stopped, "No need. ”

The cell boss glanced at Wang Sheng inside, and said, "He, it's been like this since he came in the morning, I guess I guess I need to call me, I'll go and finish the meal first, I'm starving to death......"
