Therefore, Fang Deming attaches great importance to this matter, he not only wants to catch the county Cheng, but also wants to get back the 60,000 taels of silver.

Even if there are no more 60,000 taels, there are some that can be recovered.

"It was the county princess's daughter who told us." Ye Qingshu said.

Immediately, he told the clues that Lu Jianiang's mother was poisoned, and that the county asked officers and soldiers to pretend to be robbers to rob the official silver, and that they might hide the official silver in Xishan after the murder.

Fang Deming's brows tightened when he heard this, and he was also shocked in his heart, he never thought that Lu Xiancheng was such a ruthless person and committed so many crimes.

"There is no evidence for these things." Ye Qingshu said,

"We can first use Zhao Tianguang's accusation to detain or put the county under house arrest, and then search the county Cheng's mansion, first find what kind of poison, convict the county Cheng of killing his wife, and then look for evidence that he robbed the official silver."

Hearing this, Fang Deming pondered for a while, nodded approvingly,

"That's a good suggestion. If you force him to ask him about the official bank all at once, it will only make him jump over the wall in a hurry and find a way to destroy all the clues.

In this way, step by step, starting from a small sin, you can not only relax his vigilance, but also put him under house arrest first, and then remove him from his post and abolish him. ”

"Without further ado, you go back and put the county under house arrest first." Xu Jingnan said,

"The court will open tomorrow to try Zhao Tianguang's case."

"What about the case of the county Cheng poisoning his wife?" Fang Deming asked.

"Together." Xu Jingnan said, "Lu Jianiang will go to the court to testify against him." ”

Lu Jianiang pointed out that even if the poison could not be found from Lu Xiancheng, as long as the coffin was opened to prove that Mrs. Lu was poisoned, and Lu Jianiang identified her, she could convict the county.

When Fang Deming heard Lu Jianiang want to identify, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised,

"I remember that Lu Xiancheng's concubine doesn't seem to be normal, it is rumored that she is sick or even crazy, and the testimony she said may not be adopted."

"Jia Niang is not sick, but she is too scared to see her mother being poisoned, so she is very timid." Ye Qingyu said,

"As long as she goes to court, as soon as everyone sees her, they know that she is not crazy, and her words are credible."

Fang Deming heard Ye Qingyu's argument and hurriedly smiled, "Okay, I understand." ”

After the matter was discussed, Fang Deming hurriedly left the inn and hurried back to the county government to deploy everything.

Ye Qingyu and the others did not stay in the county seat, and left the inn and rushed back to the town.

-

The next day, because Zhao Tianguang was to be tried by the county order today, and the tofu factory case three years ago was also involved, the Ye family's lo-mei shop was closed for one day.

Early in the morning, Ye's family went to the county seat together and waited outside the county office.

Halfway through the morning, with the shocking sound of 'mighty', Fang Deming slapped the shocked wood hard, and officially ascended to the court for trial.

In Zhao Tianguang's case, there was no need to waste time trying it at all, because Zhao Tianguang was frightened and said everything in order to save his life.

Zhao Tianguang knelt on the ground, and his voice trembled as he explained clearly how he had harmed the Ye family three years ago, united with the county Cheng, and plotted to rob their family's tofu factory.

"Zhao Tianguang, this is your confession just now, you read it now, if there is no problem, sign it."

After Zhao Tianguang finished speaking, Fang Deming glanced at the master, and the master immediately picked up the confession he had just recorded and walked to Zhao Tianguang to give it to him.
