Because Niu Erzhu and Niu Cuihua were locked in a cell alone, there was no one around them who could discuss things, although the two said that they were innocent every time they were arraigned, but those officials didn't say whether they believed them or not, and they didn't let them go, and the two of them were extremely uneasy.

Every minute and every second now seemed like a century to the two of them, and they were both worried and terrified, afraid that they would be in this prison and never go back.

Song Zhutou reported the case to Li Zhixian in the study in the backyard of the yamen, and after roughly explaining the situation in Niu Fugui's family, he looked at Li Zhixian and said: "My lord, according to his subordinates, this Niu Erzhu and his wife are not like people who have the ability to steal a large amount of grain. ”

This morning, the magistrate sent an official messenger to learn about the case with him, and asked him to bring Niu Erzhu and Niu Cuihua back, Li Zhixian urgently recruited him back, and he didn't have time to talk to the official in detail, so he had to take the two of them back to the county government as suspects, but he investigated for so many days, and knew in his heart that the chances of these two people committing the crime were very small.

"And in your opinion, who did this?"

Li Zhixian sat at the desk, commenting on official documents while talking, without even raising his eyebrows, and didn't seem to care much about this case.

Song Zhutou didn't care whether Li Zhixian could see it or not, he frowned and shook his head, and replied: "The subordinates also have no clue, Niu Fugui's family has simple contacts on weekdays, only what is not quite right, is that seven years ago, Niu Fugui's family suddenly had a lot of money, and the family bought ten acres of land and built several rooms, according to what his subordinates learned, seven years ago, Niu Fugui's family conditions were not very good, not like he could take out such a large amount of money at once. Also, not long ago, Niu Dazhu suddenly lost his job in the restaurant in Yangmi Town for more than ten years......"

Speaking of this, Song Zhutou paused.

It is related to the son-in-law of Yang Fangzheng's family in Yangmi Town, and Yang Fangzheng is still familiar with his own adult, and the son-in-law of the two families is a friend of the same classmate, and the result he found out is that Yang Gongzi brought a friend to deliberately frame Niu Dazhu, so he didn't know how to report to the master for a while.

Li Zhixian raised his head from a pile of official documents at this time, he glanced at Song Zhutou, and did not hide it: "That thing was done by An'er." ”

"What, what?" Song Zhutou's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Zhixian with some surprise.

The 'An'er' mentioned by Li Zhixian is Li Zhixian's only son, Li Zi'an.

Song Zhutou was a little unsure for a long time, what Li Zhixian meant by this, was Niu Dazhu's work lost by the adult's son?

Li Zhixian didn't care how shocked Song Zhutou was by these words, he lowered his head calmly, and began to deal with the official documents again.

After a while, he spoke again without raising his head: "Niu Dazhu has a little girl, who almost killed a little girl some time ago, but unfortunately the little girl's father and mother regarded the girl's life as a mustard, and never held Niu Dazhu's family accountable for the little girl. You have been to Niujia Village for a few days, and you should find out about it. ”

Song Zhutou was even more shocked when he heard this, he had heard the villagers say this, but because he felt that it had nothing to do with this case, he did not report it to Li Zhixian.

He thought of the Niu Erni in the second room of the Niu family.

The girl is very beautiful and Zhou Zheng, she looks quiet on weekdays, she doesn't talk much, I heard that if she is so young, she can support herself, but she is such a well-behaved and lovely girl, she was abused all the year round in the second room of the Niu family, and she was almost stoned to death by her little cousin a few days ago.
