“······” Zhao Jiuzhong didn't speak.

At this time, the people on the stage were telling the story of the fox fairy and the poor scholar, but the people around them all listened to it with relish.

Lin Xiangxiang listened to a few paragraphs, and it was very tasteless, after all, the story of Chen sesame and rotten millet is really nothing to hear.

grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and happened to meet Zhao Jiuzhong's gaze again, Lin Vanilla was very embarrassed, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Zhao, don't look at me like this all the time, if you have anything to say, you just say it directly, I will be embarrassed if you are always like this." ”

After a pause, Lin Vanilla grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Zhao Jiu and said, "Knock some melon seeds, eat some tea, he will finish this paragraph soon." ”

When she's done, it's their turn.

"I don't drink the tea outside." At this moment, Zhao Jiuzhong opened his mouth lightly.

When Lin Vanilla heard this, she felt that he was arrogant, and she didn't tell him any big truths, so she knocked melon seeds and ate tea on the side.

Although she was not interested in the story of the fox fairy and the poor scholar, she also learned from the people around her, and slapped two slaps from time to time to make up the fun.

Obviously, compared to Lin Vanilla, Zhao Jiuzhong is very boring.

I saw him sitting on the side solemnly, letting the storyteller say anything, and his face was stunned without any expression.

Every time Lin Vanilla looked at it, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed for the storyteller, after all, people talked so stage, but Zhao Jiuzhong still had a straight face, looking like no one should enter.

He just kept a straight face, but he still glanced at Lin Vanilla from time to time, which was very striking!

Finally, the storyteller finally stepped down, Lin Vanilla breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to reach out to grab the melon seeds again, but he had already grabbed almost the melon seeds on the plate, and he couldn't grab a piece of melon seeds anymore.

Feeling Zhao Jiuzhong's gaze fall on her plate, Lin Vanilla couldn't help but cough dryly: "Lord Zhao, let's go, it's time for us to do something." ”

After speaking, Lin Xiangxiang got up and walked straight to the backstage, although Zhao Jiuzhong was unknown, he still got up and followed behind her.

Walking along the way, I slipped straight to the backstage, just in time to see the storyteller drinking water.

"Mr. Bai, look up for a long time." Lin Xiangxiang walked straight over, and the storyteller who drank the water turned his head to come over, and when he saw that it was a raw face, he immediately said with some displeasure: "This son, are you not wrong?" ”

Lin Xiangxiang shook her head: "That's right, Mr. Bai, I really came to look for you." I have admired the name for a long time, and I came here today, and I asked for something. ”

As soon as he heard this, Bai Wen couldn't help but smile indifferently: "Childe, I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong person, I'm asking for poverty and whiteness, I will only move my mouth, and I really can't help you." Let's go. ”

"I really took a fancy to Mr.'s mouth, I'm doing this favor, looking at the whole Zhao County, only Mr. can help." Squinting his eyes, seeing that Bai Wen obviously looked displeased, Lin Vanilla immediately understood: "However, Mr. Bai, please rest assured, I am not doing this favor to let you help in vain, we must still have something to show you." ”

As soon as he said that, the expression on Bai Wen's whole face really softened a little.

"In this way, in the next game, don't talk about the story of the fox fairy, let's talk about Zhang Xiaocui's story."

As soon as he said this, Bai Wen's whole face stiffened, and he couldn't help but say: "What do you mean by this, that Zhang Xiaocui is obviously a dead man, aren't you trying to make me touch my head, I won't help with this, go, go, hurry up." ”

While speaking, Bai Wen really reached out to catch Lin Vanilla.

"Don't, Mr. Bai, we brought silver money, this is white silver, you can decide whether to say it or not." Between the words, Lin Xiangxiang pointed to Zhao Jiu and pointed to the money bag on his waist.

Although Zhao Jiuzhong didn't know why, he still reached out and handed his money bag to Lin Vanilla.

Lin Xiangxiang handed the money bag to Bai Wen, with a smile on her face: "Mr. Bai refuses to give a face, and if you say what I want to hear?" ”

If it were usual, Bai Wen would definitely weigh the weight of the silver, and then take the money to do things.

But the current situation is very different, In the final analysis, this Zhang Xiaocui's death is also a grievance, and now, even the murderer has not been found, if he goes directly to the high platform, he will only cause bad things for himself.

Pushing the silver money in Lin Vanilla's hand, Bai Wen said helplessly: "You can spare me for this matter, after all, I am not willing to do this thing that offends people and is not pleasing to me, not to mention, if it is to attract people to hold grudges and give me the result, then it is really worth the loss." ”

Do you want all this white silver in front of you?

Is there really such a person who doesn't love money?

Lin Vanilla looked at Bai Xiang straight for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "This silver money is not touching you, but, Mr. Bai, I also want to ask you, if our county master of Zhao County comes over, please also ask you not to move." ”

Bai asked funny: "Even if the county magistrate comes, he will only do something to solve the problems of the people, how can he make such a boring and absurd move." ”

"What if I really want to bother Mr. Bai." At this moment, Zhao Jiu reopened his mouth.

Lin Xiangxiang glanced at Zhao Jiuzhong in surprise, she really didn't expect him to be so good.

"Not really." Bai Wen subconsciously replied, but before he finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, he met Zhao Jiuzhong's majestic face.

Suddenly, he finally stammered: "Zhao, Lord Zhao? ”

Zhao Jiuzhong bowed slightly, and the look on his face was still full of seriousness: "I'm tired." ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Wen hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't bother, don't bother." ”

Now, he didn't dare to ask for money, and he didn't dare to say it if he didn't agree, so he asked directly: "What do adults want me to say, this Xiaocui's case, although there are rumors in the market, there is no accurate letter." I eat with this mouth, and no matter how much I support adults, I can't be left without food. ”

Zhao Jiuzhong didn't speak, just looked at Lin Vanilla, asked Bai Hui, and also looked at Lin Vanilla.

Lin Vanilla smiled crisply: "Naturally, you won't be affected, Mr. Bai just say what I say, but if this is known to others, then it will be ······."

After saying this, Bai Wen immediately understood: "Cooperate with the government, this is what we should do, and I will never let the fourth person know." ”

Lin Vanilla squinted slightly, which approached Bai Wen a little, and whispered to Bai Wen, after Bai Wen heard this, he looked at Lin Vanilla in confusion, and his face was full of confusion: "It's that simple?" ”

Lin Vanilla nodded, and replied to him with great certainty: "Yes, it's that simple." As long as the gentleman does what I say. However, then, I have to bother Mr. to talk about this every day. ”

Bai Wen nodded, and bowed heavily to Zhao Jiu: "Please also invite the adults to sit in the private room for a while, and I will come over immediately." ”

When Zhao Jiuzhong and the others returned to the table, Bai Wen also came to the stage, only to hear him pat the fan on the bone, and said: "Recently, many people have asked me what I think of Zhang Xiaocui, today, let's talk about the life of this Xiaocui girl." ”

Lin Xiangxiang took a sip of tea, and Bai Wen really followed her words, the content was nothing more than that Zhang Xiaocui was let down by the negative man, and in the end, not only did he not get what he thought of, but he was killed by the negative man.

Lin Vanilla heard the back with satisfaction, and then found that Zhao Jiuzhong didn't know when he had already ordered two more plates of osmanthus cake and walnut cake.

"Lord Zhao is so generous, it's a pity that I can't eat it." Lin Xiangxiang snorted, seeing that Zhao Jiuzhong was also listening to the commentary at this moment, thinking about it, Zhao Jiuzhong had already understood her intentions.

"If you can't eat it, you can take it home." Zhao Jiuzhong replied lightly.

Lin Vanilla grinned: "Really? ”

Zhao Jiu nodded, turned around and said to Xiao Er: "Wrap these two shortbreads and bring them back to this son." ”

Lin Xiangxiang coughed dryly: "Lord Zhao, this tea money, shouldn't it be deducted from my one or two silvers." ”

Zhao Jiuzhong was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he almost didn't squirt out of the tea directly at her.

Lin Vanilla saw that Zhao Jiuzhong had such a big reaction, and the whole person paused, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that I guessed correctly, is it really like this?" ”

"No, it won't." After the corners of Zhao Jiuzhong's mouth twitched for a while, he finally replied lightly.

Seeing that Lin Vanilla's round eyes were turning non-stop, he was afraid that Lin Vanilla would say something again, so he only said: "Just take it as a bamboo rat to thank you that day." ”

Lin Vanilla's eyebrows narrowed slightly: "Then I might as well be respectful." ”

Zhao Jiuzhong was stunned for a moment, and he felt more and more that she was very similar to the person who saved him in the forest that day.

As soon as Lin Vanilla raised his head, he saw Zhao Jiuzhong looking at him honestly, and couldn't help frowning: "Lord Zhao, should you not." ”

Zhao Jiuzhong was slightly stunned, and when he saw that she said half of it, he didn't say anything, and he was a little puzzled.

"Shall it?"

Lin Vanilla grinned, suddenly couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and asked, "Do you really not like women?" ”

The implication is that I like men.

The corners of Zhao Jiuzhong's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Lin Vanilla speechlessly: "If you don't like shortbread, you can not take it." ”

······

In the remaining two days, Zhao Jiuzhong sent people to the restaurant every day to listen to books, and the officials among the county officials who listened directly were confused.

Zhong Zhutou, who already had opinions about Zhao Jiuzhong, complained a little more.

And in just these two days, Zhang Xiaocui's story has spread throughout Zhao County, and even the women and mothers-in-law of Linjia Village can say a few words when they work in the fields.

Soon a letter was received in the yamen, simply put, a letter asking for help.

The signature left happened to be Zhang Xiaocui.

After Zhao Jiuzhong followed the location in the letter with the crowd, he really found Zhang Xiaocui in a dilapidated house.

The room was very chaotic, as if after a fight, Zhang Xiaocui was lying on the ground, motionless, and his hands were tied behind him.

Yang Bajin stepped forward to probe Zhang Xiaocui's breathing, turned his head, and said to Zhao Jiuzhong: "Lord Zhao, she is still alive, it should only be a short coma." ”

Zhao Jiuzhong smelled that something was wrong in the house, if it was only the musty smell that no one lived in all the year round, it would be fine, but, faintly, he could still smell a smell of blood.

He had always been very sensitive to the smell of blood, and now when he smelled it, his stomach was tumbling again.

I was trying to let everyone search carefully, there must be something strange in this house, but at this time, I heard Zhan Mei say: "My lord, Chen Xiren is here!" ”

The crowd listened to her words and hurried over to check.

Sure enough, behind a pile of weeds, a middle-aged man was lying in a pool of blood, motionless.

And this man is Chen Xiren, at this moment, he is sticking a dagger in his back, and the blood is obviously left from Chen Xiren's body.

Zhao Jiuzhong couldn't help the feeling of nausea in his heart, took out a piece of ginger, bit it and put it between his noses and sniffed it, sure enough, this method is very useful.

This is still the method given to him by Lin Vanilla, he has never seen blood and corpse stench, but now he can barely support it with this method.

At this time, after Zhan Mei went over to check the situation, she retreated to him again: "Chen Xiren-he-he is dead, and his body is starting to stiffen. ”

They're still late!

But what's going on in this house?

The person who asked for help was Zhang Xiaocui, but the person who died turned out to be Chen Xiren.

Chen Xiren's stab wound was right in the center of his back, and it was unlikely that he had done it, but it was like he had been stabbed.

There are Zhang Xiaocui and Chen Xiren in this room, and Zhang Xiaocui is the biggest suspect.

Zhao Jiuzhong set his eyes on Zhang Xiaocui, and finally said: "Bring the corpse back in this position, don't move him, eight catties, you go and ask Lin Yanzuo to come to the yamen." As for Zhang Xiaocui, she was sent back to the county government together, and when she woke up, the truth should be revealed.

Everyone listened to the order, transported the corpses, inspected the house, and wanted to find some clues before Zhang Xiaocui woke up.

When Lin Vanilla rushed all the way to the yamen, she happened to learn the details from Yang Bajin.

She didn't expect things to be so complicated, as soon as she arrived at the county office, she saw Zhao Jiuzhong carefully observing Chen Xiren's body.

What is rare is that although his face is a little blue, it is not particularly ugly.

Lin Vanilla was a little weird, and when he got closer, he found that Zhao Jiuzhong was holding two pieces of ginger and smelling it, and he knew it for a while.

When Zhao Jiu saw her coming, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Lin Yanzuo, you take a closer look." ”

Lin Vanilla went over, carefully examined all the wounds, and finally got up and said to Zhao Jiuzhong: "On the surface, it does look like someone else died of excessive blood loss. Take a closer look. ”

"How about a closer look?" Zhao Jiuzhong originally felt that there was something greasy in it, but now when he heard it, he felt that the truth was closer to him.

"The color of the tongue coating is abnormal, and there is poisoning."

I just don't know if the person who poisoned him and the person who killed him are the same person.

Zhao Jiuzhong naturally thought of this point she thought, and after thinking for a while, Zhao Jiuzhong finally said faintly: "Now, I can only wait for Zhang Xiaocui to wake up." ”

Lin Xiangxiang pursed her lips, it is true that Chen Xiren is dead, and only Zhang Xiaocui knows what happened between them.

It's just that Lin Vanilla really doesn't want to believe that this poison is under Zhang Xiaocui, after all, she has the heart to follow Chen Xiren, and she will not cut off her only reliance after all.
