The shopkeeper took a breath, "Madam, I see that you are also a real person, so I'll tell you the truth, the past is really not a thing now, cleverly set up a name, and squeeze the people over there, often setting up various taxes!"

I'm just a small businessman, and every day I give money like this, I'm about to close down, and some of us poor people can't even get by, and as for those women who are willing to pay for it, it's richer than the other, it's really ......"

Liu Jixiang wanted to hear this, glanced at the shopkeeper's expression, thoughtfully, and when the person finished paying, he turned around and left.

"Madam, do you think the shopkeeper's words are true?" The maid couldn't help but ask.

Liu Jixiang smiled meaningfully, "How to say it, although the shopkeeper said that he was doing a small business, but have you ever seen the fabrics in his cabinet, but they are all very luxurious, how can a person who does small business buy such expensive fabrics?" And if there is no one behind them, where will there be such a source?

So there are some words, just listen to them, don't take them to heart, otherwise you will be the one who suffers! ”

The maid was even more puzzled, "But why would the shopkeeper say such a thing?" ”

What else can I do, I just want to say it to myself, the county master's wife, if it can reach the ears of the county master.

Liu Jixiang went to the rice store and grain store again, and bought a lot of things, but the rice and oil here are very cheap, but even if it is cheap, Liu Jixiang still feels a little distressed, at least in the capital and when he is still in his hometown, they can eat the things sent from the Zhuangzi, and they don't have to spend money to buy them like now.

After returning home, Liu Jixiang found that Li Chen had also returned, and his face was solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Jixiang served him a cup of tea, and after looking at him for a long time, he found that he still hadn't come back to his senses, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?" Thinking so distracted? ”

Li Chen heard the voice, turned his head, and then sighed again, "It's a recent case, which was originally in charge of the previous county master, but after he left, this case has dragged on until now!" ”

"What kind of case makes you so worried?" Liu Jixiang asked suspiciously.

"It's a case of murder!" Li Chen subconsciously stopped after finishing it, and then glanced at Liu Jixiang, "Forget it, you still don't know about this matter, it's terrible!" ”

Liu Jixiang was hooked and aroused, of course it was impossible to stop like this, "Oh, you finally talked about the letter, why did you suddenly stop?" Tell me what's going on, just say it and let me advise you! ”

"That'll do!" Li Chen continued: "The person who was killed was called Wang Guang, a well-known local talent, who had married a wife before, and then married a young and beautiful woman after his wife died, and the husband and wife were very affectionate!"

Wang Guang has a classmate named Gao Ying, and the two are still neighbors, I heard that the two families have a very good relationship!

On August 15, after Wang Guang came back from drinking at Gao Ying's side, he lost his life on the second day, and the people in the house found a doctor, and after investigation, it was found that he died of poisoning!

It just so happened that Wang Guang's wife bought a pack of rat poison some time ago, so Wang Guang's wife was the most suspicious and directly sent Wang Guang's wife to prison, but one of the most doubtful points is that Wang Guang's wife went back to her parents' house some time ago, and he was not at home on the day Wang Guang died!

This matter became a suspense case, but I didn't expect the case to turn around again, and a neighbor reported that Wang Guang's wife and Wang Guang's classmate, that is, Gao Ying, had a wide relationship, and the two of them were also childhood sweethearts!

The previous county magistrate concluded that the case was a conspiracy between two people to kill Wang Guang, but after I retried it, I found that Wang Guang's wife had been crying out for injustice, and Wang Guang's classmates also said that there was no such thing!

I don't think their expressions look like fierce people, let alone quibbles, but the evidence is conclusive, and I really don't know what to do! ”

"There are indeed a lot of suspicions in this, let's put aside the question of whether there is adultery or not!

First of all, Wang Guang and his wife are very affectionate, especially Wang Guang's wife has no children yet, if he often dies like this, then all the property may fall on Yuan Peizhen's son, and Wang Guang's wife can't get a penny!

Therefore, Wang Guang's wife should not be looking forward to Wang Guang's death, and as for Wang Guang's classmates, since they have a very good relationship, it is impossible for them to commit murder!

Secondly, poisoning and murder are nothing more than two points, either because of contradictions, or because of money, anyway, most of them are interests, let's use the elimination method first, first of all, after Wang Guang died, who got the most benefits, who is the most suspicious, you go to trial according to this first!

There is also the second point, who said that Wang Guang's classmate and Wang Guang's wife had an adulterous affair, let her find out the evidence, no evidence is false accusation, and there is no false accusation of that person for no reason in the world should be one of the breakthrough points! ”

Li Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll send someone to interrogate it later, how did you go today?" ”

Liu Jixiang recalled his encounters in the cloth shop and smiled, "It's normal, by the way, I heard that the road here is particularly difficult to walk, especially after the rain, the road is particularly wet, I don't know if it's true?" ”

"It's true!" Li Chen also had a headache, "Just because the road here is not good, there are many merchants who don't go there, and at the same time, there are many things that are sky-high, I don't know what to do!" ”

"It's not easy to do, if you want to get rich and build the road first, let's repair the road first!" Liu Jixiang said as a matter of course.

"You can build roads, but what about the stones used to build roads, we don't have many stones to use here, not only that, but it also takes a lot of money to build roads, I ......" Li Chen had a headache, "There is no such thing as losing money in vain!" ”

"I have a plan here to make a pebble from the river, and sand to make it as solid as a stone, and as for money...... I have some money in my hand that can be used to repair the road, but after the road is repaired, we can use the method of charging, if they are not willing to pay, they can go other ways, just take back the money, and the rest of the road is free for everyone to use! Liu Jixiang thought of the toll booth in later generations, "What do you think of my idea?" ”

Li Chen shook his head, "I don't think it's okay, if we collect money and someone else participates in it, it will be bad, and being an official can't compete with the people for profit, so this is not feasible!" ”
