Niu Er finally made a caring person, and he secretly asked Jian Qing, "Brother Jian, what do you care about this glass screen?" Could it be that there is anything special about this glass screen? ”

Jian Qing shook his head, "I don't know, I asked when I thought about it, my father once said that if you ask too much, there is always an answer that is close to the truth." ”

This is not what Jian Qing's father said, but in a previous life, a senior once said, "Any work is meaningful, and there is never any effort done in vain", there is no other way to investigate the case, be diligent, and work hard, and you can always find the truth of the facts.

Jian Qing did not enter the flower hall, but stood by the window to look inside, half a meter away from the left and right sides of the square pillar with a side length of more than 20 centimeters, hanging in the middle of the four corners of the auspicious ruyi red gauze lamp, the large round table has been removed, replaced by a small one, a tray on it, in which the teapot and teacup are placed. There were four octagonal white gauze palace lamps hanging on the roof beams, and one was empty in the northwest corner, which must have been gnawed down by rats as the bustard said.

"Where is the palace lamp that fell and was broken?" Jian Qing asked.

"What are you going to do?" Niu Er asked.

"Just look!"

"Thrown!" The old bustard didn't want to have more than one thing, so he said unhappily, "Brother Jane, even the county master doesn't want to investigate this matter clearly, you can save it, even if you are Song Tixing, you can investigate the case in one day, and investigate all the cases in Lingqiu County, this official master will not be able to do it for you." ”

Niu Er took out an iron ruler and slammed it on the table, the teapot and teacup on the table were shaken to a loud sound, Lan Lao Bustard was so frightened that his face turned white, "You, what do you want to do?" She was frightened by Niu Er's rare fierce god and evil, "The palace lamp, in, in the backyard, the concubine is here, so take the official master." ”

The palace lamp has not been thrown away, but the rope of the hanging palace lamp is gone, only a hook is left on the top, a few ants climb on it, Jian Qing used a handkerchief to separate his hands, pinched the hook and put it on the end of his nose to smell, a faint sesame fragrance lingered on the end of his nose. She squatted down, there were still the remains of the rope on the ground, but they had all been bitten by rats, Jian Qing was not afraid of being infected with the plague, pinched a little rope powder, leaned to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and was sure that the rope had indeed been soaked in sesame oil.

The rope of the palace lantern is made of silk thread, wrapped around one end of the wire, and the other end is bent into a hook, which is easy to hang.

Jian Qing carefully wrapped the remnants of these silk threads in a handkerchief, and handed the remains of the broken palace lamp on the porcelain seat to Niu Er, "Second Brother Niu, this palace lamp is recommended to be kept, and it can be used when the case is decided in the future." ”

"Huh? What's wrong with this palace lamp? Jian Yanzuo, don't scare me, is it possible that Li Bantou's death has anything to do with us? ”

"It's really hard to say that the jade building hides the dragon and the crouching tiger. Sister Lan, if one thing has nothing to do with you, and two things have nothing to do with you, one day, there will still be something related to you! ”

Jian Qing didn't say anything, Lan Lao Bustard watched her walk away, and spat on the ground, "The hair hasn't grown, and I want to scare the old lady, hum!" ”

When Jian Qing was about to go out, Zhou Shen rushed over and glanced at the palace lamp on Niu's second-hand hand, "Brother Jane, is there anything wrong with this lamp?" ”

"Brother Zhou, don't ask about this case. It's not good to know more! Jian Qing thought about it, and seemed to feel that his words were a bit excessive, so he smiled and said, "I just think there is something wrong with this palace lamp." ”

"Oh, I shouldn't have asked, I was worried about you for a while, so I asked more." Zhou Shen sent Jian Qing and the others out, "If there is anything I can help with, just say it." ”

"Of course, thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Walking away, Niu Er turned his head to look back, Zhou Shen was still standing under the Langyu Building and looking, he couldn't help but say, "This kid is quite enthusiastic, you are very good to Brother Jane, but unfortunately you are not a girl." ”

"Second Brother Niu, don't you know Brother Zhou?" Jian Qing said in surprise, "Do you remember Brother Zhou and his father Zhou Dabi, their family used to do grocery store business, five years ago, his father went to the customs to find Hu people to buy goods, on the way back, met the Northern Yuan hunting army, his father rode a donkey and did not escape, was hit by an arrow, fell from the donkey's back and lost his life. Fortunately, he met Li Bantou and brought his body back, so that the mother and son of the Zhou family were able to bury their relatives. ”

Niu Er thought about it for a while, and broke out in a cold sweat, "Brother Jian, don't say it, I know what you mean, don't worry, if I don't find out this case, I, Niu Er, will not be a person." ”

Jian Qing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was crazy again, and turned his head to look at him. Niu Er turned around and held Jian Qing's shoulder, "Brother didn't know that my brother was so good to my brother, if only my brother had known earlier." Brother is not the kind of person Li Bantou, he has been scolded for five years and has been indifferent, and his brother can't do that kind of thing. ”

Jian Qing suddenly realized, "The people in Lingqiu City said that Li Bantou murdered Zhou Dabi's life, and I also heard Li Bantou talk about it, saying that he couldn't do that kind of thing, if he had known that the world misunderstood him like this, he should have thrown Zhou Dabi's body on the edge of the old forest and let the jackals eat it." ”

"Brother doesn't do this kind of thing, brother, you say, how can this case be investigated?"

Niu Er paid for it, and asked Jian Qing and the other two brothers Wang Hu and Lu Ping who investigated the case together, and the four of them got together in the Qian family's shop to explain the case in detail.

It's still early, there are no customers in the Qian family's shop, there are only two people eating cakes at one table, and when Jian Qing and the others went in, the two of them just finished eating, and soon ate and left.

One person asked for two taels of wine, a cake, and ate a rough meal, and Jian Qing made his eyes look so that Niu Er asked Wang Hu Lupin, and checked the results at the crude medicine shop.

"It's autumn, no one went to the crude medicine shop to buy arsenic, the two of us asked, there are two records on the side of the security hall, the mother-in-law in Li Bantou's house, the autumn made a cough, the doctor in the security hall prescribed medicine to her, and added a little arsenic into the medicine, and then the Shi family's descendants went to buy arsenic, saying that there were mice in his master's house, which was used to medicine rats."

The Shi family is Shi Zhong's family, although Shi Zhong is only a county prince, but the Shi family is a big family in Lingqiu. When Emperor Jiayou raised troops, Shi Zhong's second brother went to seek refuge with Emperor Jiayou, became a partial general, lost his life in the Jinling Guard, Emperor Jiayou ascended the throne, and also posthumously sealed his second brother, therefore, as long as Shi Zhong did not rebel in Lingqiu County, Datong Mansion also had to give him three points of thin noodles.

Shi Ansheng, the young master of the Shi family, is twenty-two years old this year, and he has only entered school, and he likes to pretend to be a scholar on weekdays, but he loves to look for flowers and ask willows, and everyone in Lingqiu City knows about it. Buying arsenic medicine rats is definitely something he did.

The point is, Jian Qing can't even think of it, why did Shi Ansheng attack him?
