Xiao Zhi got Guo Linjiang's testimony and account books later, and when everything was ready, Xiao Zhi transferred Guo Linjiang out first, there was no one to hide in this prison, Guo Linjiang was beheaded for nearly a year, and he needed to bring down Xue Ling during this time.

Xue Ling didn't get the news until three days later, so he asked Master Zhao: "Are you true?" ”

"It's true, it was true that a person was taken away from the cell three days ago, but the news of Guo Linjiang's death did not come out after that." Master Zhao said that if Guo Linjiang died, Xiao Zhi would not have reacted at all, at least he would be furious, and the jailer would have to be scolded, but the jailer Sun San had been the same for the past few days, and he didn't look scolded at all.

Xue Ling wondered: "Could it be that the person who carried it out was not Guo Linjiang?" ”

"I was also suspicious of this, but I asked Jiading to visit the prison again today, and Jiading came back and said that Guo Linjiang was no longer in the cell." Master Zhao said that their people have also been paying attention outside the cell in the past few days, and the eight achievements that were brought out that day were Guo Linjiang.

Xue Ling was a little confused, Guo Linjiang was dead, could Xiao Zhi still be so calm?

"I've got to find out what's real." Xue Ling said and left for the yamen.

Xiao Zhi knew that Xue Ling would definitely come, just for Guo Linjiang's business, the two had to greet each other when they met, and then Xue Ling asked: "Then Guo Linjiang has to be guarded, although the Guo family is a raider, but I don't know how much is hidden in secret, if you secretly make some money and give Guo Linjiang a package, it is not impossible." ”

Xue Ling originally meant to be tempting, but Xiao Zhi's reply was more straightforward.

"Don't worry about this matter, Guo Linjiang is fine!" Xiao Zhi said with a smile.

"Lord Xiao has seen it?" Xue Ling asked.

Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't see it, but the adults suddenly cared about a death row inmate in the prison, what is the inside story here?" Why don't you take the adults to the prison to see that Guo Linjiang in person! ”

For Xiao Zhi, not only did not hide it, but also took the initiative to drag him into the water, this is very suspicious. If he really goes, Guo Linjiang will lose it again, and he will be suspicious, although it doesn't matter if he is suspicious, but there is no need, so he said: "Then there is no need, Lord Xiao is careful himself." In his eyes, Xiao Zhi is just bluffing now, and he also believes that Guo Linjiang is really dead, anyway, he is relieved when people die, as for Xiao Zhi's side, when the day comes, he can't get anyone, see how he can explain to the people!

After sending Xue Ling away, Xiao Zhi smiled.

Guo Linjiang not only provided those transactions between the Guo family and Xue Ling, but also took out evidence to identify Xue Ling as the murderer of the previous county master.

"Did he do it?" Xiao Zhi asked Guo Linjiang.

"Everyone thinks that this thing is done secretly by our Guo family, but I, Guo Linjiang, will not really think that it will be okay to kill the court officials, I don't care about killing the people, my Guo family is just to carry the black pot for the old man of Xue Ling,!"

Guo Linjiang's words made Xiao Zhi feel credible, but ......

"But how do you know that? Xue Ling's thing should be very secretive! Xiao Zhi asked.

Guo Linjiang said: "There is a letter, it is Xue Ling's handwritten letter, I was afraid that Xue Ling would turn his face, so I bought a gentleman on the beam and stole it from the bandits, just to be the last life talisman for myself." ”

Xiao Zhi smiled and asked, "That's strange, since you have a life amulet, why don't you use it?" ”

Guo Linjiang shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to use it, but I don't dare, now it's just killing me, if I know that I have evidence to identify him, then my whole family's life will be gone, and you don't know much about the protection of officials and officials?" Do you still need me to say? Even if this secret letter sees the light of day, it may not be able to cure Xue Ling in the end, and I am the only one who dies. He couldn't have known more about it.

"What about faith?" Xiao Zhi asked.

"You have to ensure the safety of my wife and daughter, as long as this letter sees the light of day, my wife and daughter will have no way to live." Guo Linjiang looked at Xiao Zhi: "I know that my life is like this, this is my only request, I know that you also want to bring down Xue Ling, you also have this temper, but everything is in case, I can't let my wife and daughter's lives gamble together." ”

Xiao Zhi said: "Yes, it's not an excessive request, I will arrange it for your wife, but your daughter ......" The married woman doesn't want to leave her husband's house even if she is afraid.

Guo Linjiang thought about it for a while, and said: "Then ask, with a father like me, it is estimated that their in-laws will not be good to them, if they are not willing to go, just ...... if they are willing to go."

"Yes." Xiao Zhi said, looking at Guo Linjiang's appearance, although the Guo family raided the house, he didn't worry about the lives of his wife and daughter at all, and it was estimated that he also hid money privately, but he was not ready to pursue it, and it didn't hurt for him to turn a blind eye at this time.

Guo Linjiang looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "Then I will believe you, and when my wife writes a letter saying that they are safe, I will tell you where I hid the letter." ”

Xiao Zhi saw that Guo Linjiang was an old fox in the end, so he could only ask here today.

Xiao Zhi came out of the room and happened to meet Rue Xiang coming over to deliver food to Guo Linjiang. After Xiao Zhi got Guo Linjiang out of prison, he was directly put under house arrest in the backyard of the yamen, and it was Rue Xiang who came to deliver food every day, and other people in the yamen didn't know that such a person existed. He doesn't worry about putting people elsewhere, only by putting them under his own eyelids.

Xiao Zhi went to handle Guo Linjiang's affairs later, he really needed that letter, now is the time to collect evidence, the more evidence, the more evidence can finally make Xue Ling unable to turn over!

Xi Hongdou felt that Xiao Zhi had been busy these days, and he came back later and later at night.

The moon stars are scarce, Xi Hongdou can't sleep, there is still a bird's nest surrounded by hot water on the table, Xiao Zhi has no time to eat after eating, and when she goes to deliver the meal, she sees that Xiao Zhi is really too busy. Although it is a good thing to say that men are busy with business, but Xiao Zhi is so busy, she is also afraid that her body will be tired, no matter how late Xiao Zhi comes back these days, she has prepared a bowl of medicinal porridge.

Xiao Zhi saw that Xi Hongdou didn't sleep and waited for him, so he said, "You don't have to wait for me, just go to bed early." ”

"I'm not bad for a while, you get up earlier than the chicken every day, sleep later than the ghost, I can't catch up with you!" Xi Hongdou said with a smile, she can be considered to be able to toss in a day, and now Xiao Zhi can toss better than him.

Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "It's good to be busy with this paragraph." "The matter on Xue Ling's side is not so easy to find it, and he can't be in a hurry, but he doesn't want to let go of the things that already have eyebrows.

Xi Hongdou nodded: "Don't be tired, just eat quickly, hurry up and sleep for a while after eating." "If you rub it again, it will be dawn, and the bird's nest is boiled with calming herbs, so that Xiao Zhi can also sleep well.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhi slept for a while, Xi Hongdou didn't bother Xiao Zhi, and went out lightly, and waited for Xi Hongdou to leave, Xiao Zhi woke up.

When Xiao Zhi got out of bed, he knocked off the pillow, and as soon as he picked it up, he found that there seemed to be something under the bedside mattress, which looked like a letter.

Xiao Zhi picked it up and looked at it, it was sent by his father and mother in Kyoto City, and he had already opened it and read it, he was busy these days, it is estimated that Xi Hongdou read it, and then he forgot to say it.

opened the letter, Xiao Zhi looked, and when he saw the middle, Xiao Zhi was helpless, in the letter, his mother was urging the birth of a child, and now he is busy to death, and this birth of a child is not Xi Hongdou's business alone.

Xiao Zhi put the letter back, and then began a busy day.

On the other hand, Daguli came with a new batch of cattle and sheep, and even sent a piece of calf and lamb, after all, it was a big order, and she was afraid that something would go wrong, so she delivered it in person. But this time she came to Shuobei, what she was most satisfied with was that she didn't have to pay the "toll" to the bandits.

Seeing Xi Hongdou, Daguli was very excited, it was less than two months since the last meeting, Xi Hongdou said that he didn't have to pay any more money, and there were no bandits along the way!

"Red beans!" Daguli ran over and kissed Xi Hongdou directly on the face, which made Xi Hongdou quite embarrassed.

Xi Hongdou pulled Daguli to sit down, and then said, "You also run it yourself." ”

"After the winter, there is a shortage of food, so I came here to order more food. ”

Xi Hongdou said: "It's no problem. The last thing she lacked was food, and the household department had already taken a handful of it before, but she also thought about expanding the purchase, so she asked Daguli: "Do you want to be a grain merchant?" I'll supply you and give you the best price. ”

Daguli's previous grain was only for her own use, and the quantity was indeed not much.

"What's the price?" Dagul is also a shrewd person, so she hurried to negotiate the price.

In the past, Daguli bought less grain, and the price given by Xi Hongdou was not too expensive, but now if Daguli buys more, she will naturally give a better price.

Xi Hongdou said a number, and when Daguli heard it, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Really? ”

"Really, but the price of food will fluctuate every year, and it can't be this number, but I promise, I won't let you lose." Xi Hongdou said.

Dagul nodded, then said, "That's fine. "Who wants not to earn money?

Xi Hongdou hurriedly made a contract with Daguli, and it was not difficult for Xi Hongdou to do business.

Xi Hongdou now has another thing to do quickly, that is, to quickly settle the calf and lamb.

Daguli brought an old shepherd named Sangda, who was experienced, and Xi Hongdou directly found an old mansion outside the city to rent it, and the forage was also prepared by Daguli.

Abu has been reading at home every day since he came to Shuobei, and now that an old man from Hui is coming, he wants to go with him, and Xi Hongdou can't take care of Abu, so he agrees with Abu to go over.

"Am I too unconcerned about Abu?" Xi Hongdou said, Abu is sensible, and she won't come to be coquettish with him after coming to Shuobei, she almost forgot about Abu, thinking that Abu should be angry.
