"There are no witnesses to this." Lu Mu frowned and said, "The two of them only ate on the second floor that day, and they didn't go to the third floor, and more importantly, there were guests drinking tea on the third floor at that time, and they all said that there was nothing abnormal on the third floor that day, and they should have been put in before." ”

"Although I have no evidence, I conclude that this matter was done by Fifth Master Qin." Pei Ze frowned and said, "He's tearing his face with me." ”

"Don't worry, as soon as that little beggar shows up, I will bring him to you." Lu Mu swore solemnly.

"Fifth Master Qin is premeditated, and he won't let you find that little beggar." Pei Ze shook his head and said, "The only way at the moment is to make a fuss about the old beggar." ”

"How?" Lu Mu asked with interest.

"Let out the wind, just say that he is not dead, let's find a famous doctor to hang him." Pei Ze said, "In this way, Fifth Master Qin's people will naturally show their feet." ”

"Third brother, Qin Ming has often gone to the third floor to drink tea recently, I suspect that Qin Ming did it." Huajiao freshened up, changed his clothes, and walked in refreshed, "Yesterday Guan Mao's wedding, we went back to Tonghua Village before dawn, I just asked Xu You, he said that Qin Ming went to drink tea an hour earlier than a few days ago yesterday, I just wondered, how did he know that I was not in Mingxianglou yesterday?" ”

The shopkeeper Tang is a Lian family.

If it is said that the crane top red secretly placed on the third floor of Qin Ming at night, it is impossible.

The only possibility is that the crane top red was put in on the same day.

"Maybe he knew that Guan Mao was married, and he also thought that his sister-in-law would go back to the village to congratulate!" Lu Mudao.

"I said it, I have this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Pei Ze patted her hand and said softly, "You're tired for a day, go back and rest, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the Yamen, so I won't go over to accompany you, you can rest here with peace of mind." ”

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't be too polite, just like your own home." Lu Mu smiled, "If you need anything, just tell the Zhou family and let her help you prepare." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Hua Jiao looked at Pei Ze and wanted to say something, but in front of Lu Mu, he didn't say anything in the end, and obediently returned to the guest room prepared for her by Zhou, Feng was next door, and he didn't feel sleepy, and when he heard the door, he put on his clothes and entered the house, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

"The third brother said that he would deal with this matter, so he didn't let me worry about it." Sichuan Jiao leaned on the futon, and his heart relaxed a lot, "It's up to me to see the trial tomorrow." ”

"But he brought you out of prison so unscrupulously, aren't you afraid that Lord Wu will blame you?" Feng Shi worried, she felt that the third child was reckless, this is the yamen, not her own home, Hua Jiao sighed, "It's already like this, and I can't care about it so much." ”

Early the next morning, Pei Ze went to the yamen to ask Wu Zhixian for his guilt, and by the way, he told Wu Zhixian about his arrangement, and Wu Zhixian actually roughly understood who did it, so he said: "It only takes a few pharmacy owners to testify, Hedinghong bought it in their store, those hateful beggars, they really have no law, and in front of everyone, they dare to commit murder in public and blame you, which is really unbearable." ”

He is not afraid of Qin Wuye, but afraid of the in-laws behind Qin Wuye.

If this matter is caused by the capital, then he, the magistrate, will not have to do it.

"My lord, if such a big case is gently put down in the end, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, right?" Pei Ze understood and said bluntly, "Don't you want to know who is behind the scenes?" ”

"It's clear that those two Diao people want to blackmail a few coins, how can there be any mastermind behind the scenes!" Wu Zhixian saw Pei Ze's unrelenting posture, and said earnestly, "Pei Ze, I know that you Mingxianglou has been wronged in this matter, but as the saying goes, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, we can't do the thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred." ”

"Lord Wu is really an old fox in officialdom." Pei Ze sneered, got up and said, "Regardless of whether the adults do it or not, anyway, I have already spread the news that the old beggar is still alive, if the adults are weak-hearted, they will immediately bury the old beggar with great fanfare, expose my lies, if you still want to know who is behind the scenes, just wait another day, maybe you can sell your favor!" ”

Wu Zhixian: "......"

He deliberately put him in a dilemma!

Lu Mu quickly invited the owners of several pharmacies and the beggars who were familiar with the old beggar to the yamen.

After the testimony, the case has been generally clear, Wu Zhixian immediately announced the arrest of the little beggar, saying that he was the culprit, and released the Tang shopkeeper Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou, Pei Ze saw that although Wu Zhixian intended to shield Qin Wuye, but did not debunk the rumors that the old beggar was not dead, so he asked the Tang shopkeeper to take the old Lin Tou and Lao Li Tou and Feng's Xu You back to Wutong Town first, leaving only Hua Jiao to live in Lu Mansion for two more days.

Although Hua Jiao also felt that it was a little hasty to close the case like this, Pei Ze didn't say anything, and she had to acquiesce to this result.

For this reason, Wu Zhixian also specially invited Pei Ze and Lu Mu to eat at the Yamen, saying that it was very inappropriate to catch peppercorns before, and specially apologized to Pei Ze, Pei Ze said expressionlessly: "Lord Wu said this, it really torments us, you are an official, we are the people, what you say is what it is, how dare we have objections!" ”

"Third Master Pei, this is not a public court, what kind of official is not official, you know that I am really aggrieved as a magistrate." After three rounds of drinking, Wu Zhixian also opened the conversation box and sighed, "Those who are afraid of wolves and tigers in the past can't afford to provoke the snakes on the ground, and there is a governor behind him, trembling, maybe when the black gauze hat will come to an end." ”

Eastern Chu repeatedly invaded the Great Qi Boundary Sea.

Secretly trying to provoke a war, Su Xian has been negotiating with Dongchu these days, and now the court is divided into two factions, the main peace faction and the main battle faction have quarreled, and now there is no one, two, three.

"Officialdom is like a battlefield, we understand!" Lu Mu said quietly, "But adults can't be afraid of power, let's let us ordinary people suffer dumb losses!" ”

"Don't worry, the praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, don't say anything else, just by virtue of my relationship with Pei Sanye, I will definitely find out about this matter." Wu Zhixian looked at Pei Zedao meaningfully, "You're right, I have to ask for this favor, I can't let them hold me, right?" ”

"Then we'll wait and see what happens." Pei Ze will understand.

"Pei Ze, after going through this incident, we are really people in the same boat, and we will ...... in the future," Wu Zhi County Magistrate sighed, "In the future, our son-in-law will have to fight side by side, don't worry, as long as I am in one day, I will never let others bully you, and neither can Qin Wuye." ”

"My lord, it's not for you to show favoritism, you just need to enforce the law impartially." Pei Ze said lightly, "If the parents and officials of Tongcheng are also living in fear under the coercion of others, then wouldn't we ordinary people be even more hopeless?" Besides, there is a governor here, and if anything really happens, he will do justice for you. ”
