In a large pawnshop in Jinan, I found the person who pawned the painting.

The son of the dead head catcher Zhang Biao.

In the first half of last year, he took out this painting and made it a full 5,000 taels.

After the painting was destroyed, he moved his family away, and his whereabouts are now unknown.

Song Ning wrote a handwritten letter and went out to ask the neighboring county to help find this person.

The next morning, Qiao Si and Yang Chang checked the accounts of the four of them in the two major banks.

Zhang Biao three years ago, the day before he died, he suddenly deposited 10,000 taels of silver tickets, which his son may not know, so he has not taken it out.

Zhou Jiang and Zhou He brothers, Zhou Jiang has been having tens of thousands of taels in his account since three years ago, and they have all been taken out and used up this year.

Zhou He's account and his own son, wife, brother-in-law and other neighboring relatives did not have a sudden large and obvious income.

Qiao Si also checked the accounts of Long Xingda and Zhou Hai, and they were all very normal in and out of the accounts.

No problem.

"Let's find Yao Shan." Wu Xiandao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "If you don't look for her, you'll die." ”

Song Ning looked at Wuxian and said, "Bring Han Shuo back for trial." ”

Half an hour later, Han Shuo was taken to the yamen for trial.

Ma Liu and a few people did it, and first asked him where the money came from, and how did the father and son earn so much money?

Han Shuo said that they work hard and have subsidies from their daughter-in-law's mother's family.

Ma Liu and a few people started it, and the whip went down, Han Shuo cried and shouted that he was wronged, but he still bit the money to death and earned it himself.

"Did you know that you're in danger right now?" Ma Liu poked Han Shuo's nose with a whip, "Lord Song is sure that Songshan is wronged. ”

"Songshan wasn't in Tang Mansion that night, and he wasn't even in Jinan. Tell me, how did you see him that night? Ma Liu said coldly.

Yang Chang said: "How did he see it, he clearly teamed up with the real murderer to commit the crime together." ”

"Otherwise, where did you get so much money, and you have to buy a shop and build eight big tiled houses?"

Han Shuo looked at the two people in horror, shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible, I, I don't!" ”

"My lord is trying you now, so I want to give you the opportunity to confess and be lenient and reduce the sentence." Yang Chang said, "When the adults track down the stolen goods and find the real murderer, you won't even have a chance to confess and be lenient." ”

Han Shuo's lips trembled and replied, "No, no, I really saw Songshan, I can't recognize the wrong person." ”

"It was September 22, at the end of the month, the moon was not bright and there was no light, how did you recognize Matsuyama, is he your father, you can recognize Matsuyama at a glance?" Yang Chang slapped him even more, "Say!" ”

The flesh on Han Shuo's face shook a few times, and he replied: "No, no, it was September 19, the moon was very bright, I had seen Songshan once, so I knew him." ”

"Fart!" Yang Chang shouted even more, "You didn't conspire with the murderer, why is the Dushan Jade wrench in your master's hand?" ”

Han Shuo was scared for a moment: "That, that's what I stole and stole from me, on the night of the accident, I could actually walk, I went to the inner courtyard and saw that the two masters were dead, I, I was fascinated for a while, and I took my wrench off and put it in my arms." ”

"But I didn't hold it myself, I fainted."

"My family, my family's money is the money from the sale of this wrench, a total of 4,000 taels. The rest is still buried in my backyard. ”

Yang Changgen and Ma Liu were surprised. They were purely deceiving him, but they didn't expect him to recruit him.

This reason and excuse is well found, and the crime of murder immediately becomes theft. Han Shuo, your decades of stewardship have not been done in vain, you have a quick reaction and a lively brain, and you can make up lies in the blink of an eye. ”

Han Shuo shook his head vigorously and replied, "Really, really, really." ”

"No?" Yang Chang continued to smoke, "Four thousand taels, your family plans to live a lifetime?" What else was stolen? ”

Han Shuo shook his head.

"Hidden in the backyard, huh?" Yang Chang said, "We can turn over your eight tiled houses together." ”

Han Shuo hung his head and said, "It's really just so much money, and it's only more than a thousand taels buried in the ground." ”

As he spoke, he drooped his shoulders and said no matter how much they asked.

……

Han Shuo's eldest son, Han Lianjiang, went out with a food box, and his mother followed behind and advised: "You must remember to give the money, if you don't give the money, the people in it won't do anything." ”

"Mother, I know, so I asked someone to bring medicine in to my father, but I didn't go in, and they won't do it if they take the money."

"Besides, my father is not a prisoner, he is a witness invited by adults, so why can't he bring medicine in."

His mother was right to think about it, and said, "Then you go quickly, it's going to be dinner in a while." ”

Han Lianjiang went into the city and met an acquaintance on Chaofeng Street, and suddenly someone behind him called him, he turned his head and looked at it for a long time, and said, "You are ...... Zhang Zhichao? ”

The son of Zhang Biao, the head of the Yamen.

"Lianjiang, where are you going?"

Han Lianjiang looked left and right, and whispered: "Don't you know, the yamen is looking for you everywhere, why did you come back?" ”

Zhang Zhichao's eyes flickered, and he replied: "Oh, I'm coming back for something." The yamen will look for me when they look for me, and I haven't done anything, I'm afraid of anything. ”

"Speaking of which, your father was injured back then, how is it now, is it better?" Zhang Zhichao asked.

"My dad is nothing, this is not to assist adults in prison to re-investigate the case, my mother is afraid that he will not be able to take medicine, so I asked him to send it." Han Lianjiang said, "I'll hurry up, the medicine will be cold for a while." ”

Zhang Zhichao's face was strange: "Your father is in prison? Isn't your dad an eyewitness and why is he in jail? ”

"What kind of imprisonment is to help adults reconstruct what happened back then." Han Lianjiang said, "I'm leaving." ”

……

Yang Chang even went back to Song Ning: "...... He said that the remaining 1,600 taels were silver, and he buried them in the backyard. ”

"My lord, do you want to find it?" Yang Chang asked.

"He also said that he was killed in the Yangxin Zheng Ji Pawnshop."

Song Ning didn't believe Han Shuo's words at all, what kind of ring to pick up after being injured?

"Find it first." Song Ning said, "If you don't say anything, you will continue to be tried." ”

Everyone acted separately, some went to Yangxin to verify, and some went to the backyard of Han Shuo's house in Dongzhuang to rummage for silver.

Song Ning said to Wu Xian: "You go and spread rumors, just say that Han Shuo confessed, and what he saw that night was not Songshan." ”

"I said that I am going to ascend to the court the day after tomorrow and retry the case of the Tang Mansion extermination."

Wuxian understood what Song Ning meant, and trotted out to spread rumors.

Zhao Yi looked at Song Ning and asked, "Do you think the murderer will still move?" ”

"I think the purpose of the murderer to arrest Yao Shan is to prevent us from re-investigating the case, but now that he has not succeeded, then he must have other actions."

Whatever the action, they need to make the killer move a little now.

This murderer was very cautious and shrewd, and the perfect layout of the year, a big case involving so many people, was able to be seamless.

Now in this case, the only deficiency or loophole is that the murderer with great powers did not let Songshan die early, and did not completely kill Yao Shan.

Or is the murderer confident that even if Matsuyama doesn't die, no one will suspect him?

"Or is the murderer already dead?" Song Yuanshi suddenly said loudly.

Everyone looked at him, and Song Ning raised his eyebrows: "Do you suspect Zhang Biao?" ”

"I was suspicious of Zhou He or Zhou Jiang at first, but after seeing Zhou He that day, I felt that he was sincere and cautious, not like a character who could make such a shocking case." Song Yuanshi said, "And, if the murderer is Zhou He, he can completely kill Songshan, Yao Shan, and Han Shuo early." ”

"Why wait until today, when someone overturns the case and re-investigates, so that you can at least bear the punishment for handling an unjust case."

There was silence in the room for a while.

After a while, Zhao Yi said loudly: "What you said is not wrong, Zhang Biao is the most likely." ”

"Then, who arrested Yao Shan?" Song Ning asked rhetorically.

Song Yuanshi shook his head: "I don't know about this, maybe ...... Is it Zhang Biao's son? ”

Zhang Biao's son sold the painting and moved his family away, but no one has been found.

The case is deadlocked.

"There's one more problem." Song Ning said to Song Yuanshi, "Although Zhang Biao is strong, his height is not as tall as the two Tang brothers. ”

Song Yuanshi thought of the blood stains on the wall in the Tang family's banquet room.

"Height?" Zhao Yi replied, "Then the elimination method ......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Wang Qingtong ran over and shouted, "My lord, Han Shuo has been poisoned." ”

And they went to the prison together.

The cell head had already been drugged to induce vomiting, and Han Shuo was still vomiting, his face was pale, and his lips were blue.

There was a broken bowl on the ground, and black soup was scattered around it.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing them come in, the cell boss knelt down with all the jailers, and the cell head trembled, "The medicine was sent by Han Shuo's son, and the money was made, and when his subordinates saw that he didn't want to come in to meet people, they agreed to bring the medicine to Han Shuo." ”

"Originally, I thought that the medicine sent by my son could still harm Lao Tzu."

"My lord, my subordinates confess their sins, and my subordinates deserve to die."

Song Ning shouted: "You know my bottom line, and I told you early that when you do things under my hands, some things can be done, and some things can't be touched at all." ”

"If Han Shuo hadn't died, you would have packed up your baggage and gone home to end the matter, and if he died, the cell where he died would be the place where you would retire."

The cell head kowtows to the ground.

"Go and lock it up yourself."

The cell boss went to shut himself up and knelt down, not daring to speak.

Dr. Xu came, and then poured the medicine.

Han Shuo vomited a lot, but the person was unconscious.

"My lord, I shouldn't be able to die, the treatment is quite timely, and I immediately induced vomiting." Doctor Xu said, "It's still arsenic, but because there is more medicine and less drinking, the poisoning is not deep." ”

Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, it's just here, the villain is going to see Matsuyama."

Han Shuo was laid flat on the kang, his face was bruised, and his breathing was also very weak.

Han Shuo's eldest son, Han Lianjiang, was escorted in.

Qiao Si came up with a kick, grabbed Han Lianjiang's collar, and scolded: "Dog, blatantly sending poison to the cell, are you tired of living?!" ”

Han Lianjiang was terrified: "What kind of poison is sent, the villain didn't send it." ”

"See for yourself." Qiao Si pulled him in and pressed him in front of his own father, "Arsenic!" ”

Han Lianjiang cried in fright, shook his head and said, "No, how could I poison my father, my father is my family's support, and I won't benefit at all if he dies." ”

"He was poisoned by drinking your medicine." Qiao Si shouted, "It's not you, who else?" ”

Han Lianjiang looked at his father in horror, he was really afraid that his father would die, he grabbed his father's arm tightly, thought about everyone in the family in his mind, and suddenly said: "I, I met Zhang Zhichao on the road." ”

"It's Zhang Zhutou's son." Han Lianjiang explained to everyone, "If someone really poisoned him, it must be him." ”

"Zhang Zhichao?" Song Ning smiled, "He's back to Jinan?" ”

Han Lianjiang nodded and said, "Yes, he said that he had something important to do, and he would leave when he was done." ”

"The villain saw him on Chaofeng Street."

"It's a coincidence, he secretly went back to Jinan and met you in Jiangshan." Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Ning and said, "Please come." ”

Also came out to say hello.

"I'll please." Shen Wenyu took Qiao Si out, shouted at the brothers in the yamen, and went out to find Zhang Zhichao.

In fact, it is easy to find, and when he comes back now, he must have heard that there are 10,000 taels in his father's account.

Go to the money bank and wait.

Han Lianjiang knelt on the ground, holding his father's hand and crying.
