Chapter 30: Money Dung

Li Shi was startled and looked at Jian Qing vigilantly.

Jian Qing smiled, "Miss Zhaohong doesn't have to sow discord. It is a handicraft handed down by the Jane family, and it must be passed down from generation to generation. It is the duty of the front-line personnel of the criminal law to promote the righteousness of heaven and earth and show the unkindness of the world. I didn't overstep the bounds, but I was lucky, and I happened to find the flaws of the red girl. ”

"What's the flaw?" Zhao Hong is unwilling, she thinks she has done it seamlessly, if it weren't for her bad luck, she just met this stinky boy who inherited his father's business, with Jiang Zhonglin's pig's head full of wine-colored fat intestines, Lingqiu County Ya, who could find out?

"The red girl is as light as a swallow and walks silently. Early in the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, I saw the red girl in the backyard of the Lane Jade Building, and I noticed it. Just as Zhao Hong's explanation of the crime in the secret room, the murderer must be a woman with a thin body and some skills, because the blood at the scene was not splashed by the murderer when he committed the crime, but the murderer deliberately did it in order to leave footprints at the scene. That knife is extremely accurate, not everyone can do it, people with these conditions, at present, there should be only one Zhaohong girl in Lingqiu County. ”

"Isn't it an outsider? The world is so big, there are people outside the world, why must it be me? ”

"The city gates have been sealed these days, and only entry and exit are allowed. The most important thing is that Miss Zhaohong asked Miss Dong'er to go to the county government to report and frame He Donglai, what is the motive? After the matter was completed, the red girl wanted to kill Dong'er and kill her, what was the motive? Jian Qing added, "I asked Boss Lan that on the third night of the new year, among the girls who went out of the Jade Building, there was Miss Xiliu. The other two girls had alibis, but the girl was the one who didn't prove where she was that night. ”

"I, I, the concubine went to buy rouge gouache."

"I have asked several shops in the city that sell rouge gouache, but none of them received Miss Xiaoliu that night."

The face of the fine willow was as white as paper, and her body was shaky, and I felt pity for it, which made the men inside and outside unbearable.

Jian Qing only glanced at her lightly, and continued, "Miss Xiliu entertained Wang Pu and He Donglai at the same time, and the motive could not be found below, but because He Donglai was there, Miss Zhaohong could logically frame He Donglai for the murder. I don't know if that's right? ”

"I've already said that I didn't want to kill the little beggar, we bought her, of course we wanted her to do things, and the reason why I did that was just to tease/teach her."

Niu Er came in from outside the lobby, knelt at the door, and raised his hands above his head, "Lord County, this is evidence dug up from under the bed of Zhaohong Girl!" ”

Zhao Hong turned her head sharply to look over, and when she saw the scabbard, the blood on her face faded, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak anymore.

"Why?" Hosoyanagi was also stunned, "Why is it under your bed?" ”

Jian Qing got up and took the evidence from Niu Er's hand, the material of rosewood, the carving on it is not eye-catching, but the tip of the knife is inlaid with two rubies. She held the ruby to Zhao Hong and asked, "Zhao Hong, are you reluctant to accept these two rubies?" ”

Zhao Hong glanced at Jian Qing resentfully, pursed her lips and didn't say anything, the girl repeatedly explained that the scabbard must be destroyed after the matter was completed, but she was so greedy for the gems on it that she made a big mistake.

Despair welled up in his heart, tears slid down his face, and Zhao Hong took a deep breath, "I killed him, shouldn't someone like him be killed?" ”

"There are indeed people in this world who should be killed, but, Zhaohong girl, even if a person deserves to die, you are not qualified to have the final say." Jian Qing's words are very ruthless.

The facts of the case have been settled here.

Coming out of the yamen, Jian Qing looked up at the sky above his head, and at some point, the sun came out, illuminating the originally vast sky blue and high. However, the wind was still so cold, Jane Qing rolled up her sleeves, and after going down the steps, she turned right, and she could go back and explain to her father.

"Brother Jane! Brother Jane, wait! ”

Behind her, someone was calling her, Jian Qing turned her head, the shopkeeper of the Xinglai Inn trotted all the way over, Jian Qing was busy, "Shopkeeper, what are your orders?" ”

"Don't dare to do it! This time, thanks to my little brother, he saved my owner's life. The county lord left the owner to ask questions at this time, and the owner instructed to let the next brother talk to Brother Jian first, and then, when the owner came out, he must thank the brother heavily. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper stuffed a silver ticket to Jian Qing. Jian Qing opened it and saw that it was one hundred taels, she smiled, and asked without saying a word of excuse, "On the third night of the first month, did your family accept the invitation of Miss Xiliu to drink in that private house?" ”

The shopkeeper was about to cry, "The owner said, if he had known that such a thing would happen, he wouldn't go, and he would have been involved in this life lawsuit for no reason, if it weren't for Brother Jane this time, he would have fallen into someone's trap." ”

"There's no need to worry about this, if it wasn't for your owner, no one would be able to rely on him. It's just that I'm curious, when did your owner receive the post? ”

"I didn't post anything, but on that day at the city gate, everyone got together. My owner and Wang Pu once had a friendship in the south, and this time they met at the city gate, so they said to save a game. It just so happened that the fine willow girl from the Yulou also came from the south, so she invited her to accompany her, and it was just a bad fate. ”

The shopkeeper refused to say the motive, Jian Qing was not in a hurry, although she was curious and wanted to use the motive to verify her reasoning, but everything should be done in moderation, and if she shouldn't know, don't force it for the time being.

Li Gou'er and Zheng Dong'er came over to thank them, and the shopkeeper took the opportunity to leave.

"Jian Yanzuo, this time, thank you!" Li Gou'er pulled Zheng Dong'er and was about to salute, Jian Qing hurriedly grabbed it, and handed over the silver ticket, "Go and exchange the silver ticket for silver, and see if any of your people have urgent needs, take it and divide it." ”

Zheng Dong'er and Li Gou'er were stunned, looking at the silver ticket in their hands, one hundred taels, how much does this cost? They had never seen so much silver, which could buy a lot of cotton clothes, and this winter, they would not have to be frozen.

"What about you? Don't you want both? ”

The two saw with their own eyes that the shopkeeper of He's rice shop gave Jian Qing the silver ticket, and of course they knew that the other party used it to thank Jian Qing for helping He Dong prove his innocence.

Jian Qing shook his head, "I don't want it, and I can't ask for it." Once I ask for it, some people will doubt the truth of today's case, doubt my motives, and doubt the results of my investigation. Besides, I have a fortune, although not much, but I can get by. Jian Qing smiled and waved his hand at them, "You guys go first." ”

Zhang Du drove the carriage, and the carriage stopped in an inconspicuous corner. When he saw Jian Qing take the silver ticket of He's rice shop, he originally looked down on this little man, although it was common for the servants to take the silver of the wrongdoers, but he always felt that others could take it, and Jian Qing should not take it.

At this time, seeing Jian Qing casually handing the one hundred taels of silver to the little beggar, Zhang Du was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

It's just that a hundred taels of silver, Zhang Du is a little tempted, how old is Jian Qing? The person who nibbles cold bud grain cakes with pickles all day long actually said that he would make a move.

This character, if you don't see it with your own eyes, Zhang Du is a little unbelievable.

Zhao Di also saw it from behind the curtain, "Go to Jane's house." ”
