Although Liu Jiaxing's household registration has not been cancelled, there is no record of him going to the road guide in Jinzhou, Yunzhou, and even the yamen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu walked side by side to the hall, and on the way they briefly talked about the results of their busy work last night.

"That means he should still be in the county?"

Xiao Qinglang shook his head and said: "That's not the case, in addition to the government, there are many traffickers on the black market and people in the Qing/Lou Chu Pavilion who pretend to be the guide of the household registration road." Some people of unknown origin want to sell themselves into slavery, and those traffickers and human tooth will find channels to help him get a new identity. ”

"What should I do, is it really a needle in a haystack?" Xu Chu frowned, a little dissatisfied with Xiao Qinglang's behavior of selling Guanzi. Since he came in a hurry, with a happy face, he must have found out the clue.

Xiao Qinglang was not dissatisfied with Xu Chu's more and more unbridled attitude in front of him, but on the contrary, he was secretly happy. However, now that the case is at stake, he can't tease her anymore, so he continued: "In addition, in the past eight years, since the beginning of Zhang's worship of Buddha, she has often asked Xiaocui or Zhang's mother to go to a nearby temple to worship the tablet for Liu Jiaxing for her. And on the tablet, it is commensurate with a benefactor! ”

Benefactor? There are also tablets. Coupled with the performance of the Zhang family and Yu Fugui, Xu Chu secretly speculated an obvious clue in his heart.

"Could it be that the person who made Zhang's pregnancy eight years ago wasn't Liu Jiaxing, Liu Jiaxing just saw someone who did something wrong to Zhang's at that time and then came to the rescue? But what should he say about his elopement with Zhang? However, the elopement failed, and Zhang was forcibly taken back. And Liu Jiaxing's whereabouts are unknown since then, and it is not a runaway, but an accident. If so, then everything makes sense.

Zhang Xiucai once said that it was Yu Fugui who deceived him eight years ago, that is, Yu Fugui was also involved in that incident at that time. Or perhaps, he is the culprit, but the wicked person sued first and got the first opportunity, which made Zhang Xiucai, who was in anger, full of resentment towards the Liu family. ”

If that's the case, it seems that everything is explained, Zhang's tablet, and her attitude towards the sudden change of wealth......

"The secret guard also sent news that Yu Fugui was still closed in the main courtyard house, and during this time, Yu Butler went to deliver a bottle of sesame oil." Because of the suspicion of wealth and nobility, Xiao Qinglang deliberately left someone to stay at home. "The secret guard replied that Yu Fugui often talked to himself when he was uneasy, and he hesitated to pull the table and chair to hide things."

"Where's the Silver Place?"

"There is nothing abnormal on the surface, but the strange thing is that Fugui has not taken care of business for many days, but the operation of Jinyinfang has not been affected at all."

Generally speaking, jewelry stores like Jin Yinfang have to obtain permission from the owner because most of them are valuables, whether it is the style or the materials purchased.

But now Yu Fugui has not shown up for days, but the business of Jinyinfang is still in full swing, and the families of various officials have not been discouraged by the death of Zhang, who has caused a storm in the city. These two points are already extremely abnormal.

"In other words, Jinyinfang is actually not a place where the rich and noble are in charge at all, he is just a puppet who has been pushed in front of people!"

The two were silent for a moment, Xiao Qinglang's face was silent, and his eyes were full of coldness that Xu Chu had never seen before. After a while, he glanced at Xu Chu and said, "This matter will be investigated in detail in the future, and now we only need to start with the Zhang case." ”

Xiao Qinglang's words are very clear, and the cattiness of Jinyinfang must be related to the masterminds behind the several major cases they have been tracking.

"If that's the case, isn't it more likely that the copper plate in Zhang's mouth came from Jinyinfang?" Something flashed in Xu Chu's heart, and when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly looked up at Xiao Qinglang, "There is a difference in the Jinyin Fang, and there is silver on the copper paper and the mercury used for gold plating on the copper surface...... Yu Fugui suddenly occupied the main house and closed the door, and his life was inhuman. ”

While he was talking, a government official suddenly said that the prefectural magistrate had an invitation. Before breakfast early in the morning, Huang Dashan, who was not diligent and loved the people, sent someone to come in a hurry, could it be that something happened?

The two of them walked to the lobby of the yamen and found that Zhang Xiucai, who was described as haggard, was talking about something weakly. When he saw Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang, he was stunned, and then shook his head and said, "I have nothing to hide now." What happened back then, it was I who lost money to the Liu family......"

Eight years ago, the Zhang family and the Liu family's daughter and son were married, and the two families also knew each other. At that time, Zhang Xiucai was rushing to take the exam in Beijing, and there were only his wife and daughter who had just met at home. A girl in the prime of her life will always attract the admiration of many people, especially the Zhang family, who can be regarded as a scholarly family, and her raised daughter is a little more knowledgeable than the average peasant girl. Even Zhang Xiucai didn't know many of these things, but when he returned from the exam, his charming daughter had already secretly married someone.

He was furious and asked, but his daughter refused to reveal the man's name. When he found out that when his daughter returned in disheveled clothes that day, it was Liu Jiaxing who sent the person back, and he was even more furious, and immediately asked the head of the Liu family for an explanation. In this way, there has been a series of things about retiring relatives and expelling clans. The next thing is probably just as Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu guessed.

It happened that Yu Fugui was looking for a matchmaker to propose marriage at that time, and Zhang Xiucai saw that he was sincere and explained what happened to his daughter, but Yu Fugui said that he didn't care that he would be single-minded about Zhang in the future. Even, in order to vent his anger for Zhang's family, he accidentally beat someone to death when he was teaching Liu Jiaxing.

And Zhang Xiucai was forced by his daughter's future, so he could only dispose of the body with the same wealth and wealth.

"At that time, I had seen in the book that there was a disguised corpse, so I scalded its wounds with boiling water, and then threw people in the backyard of Liu's house." Zhang Xiucai covered his face in shame, and when he thought that his daughter also died in this law, he regretted it even more. However, what made him regret even more was that his daughter was in tears and disheartened on the day of marriage, and he inadvertently found that it was the prospective son-in-law he thought was honest that he had ruined his daughter.

It was also at this time that Zhang told the truth out of an uneasy conscience. It turned out that back then, there was someone else who harmed her......

After that, Zhang Xiucai tore his face with Yu Fugui, that is, because his daughter had to rely on Yu Fugui for the rest of her life, and she was also worried that the crime of trampling on the corpse would fall on her head, Zhang Xiucai hid the matter in her heart for many years.

"What does Mr. mean is that Yu Fugui was clear about the fact that he used boiling water to burn the wound and forge the scar of the corpse?" Xu Chu frowned and asked.

"Yes, he took care of it at that time, Liu Jiaxing had a lot of wounds on his body, and his body was almost completely skin......less after treatment," Zhang Xiucai recalled and collapsed several times. It is precisely because of this that he does not believe in ghosts and gods that he firmly believes that Qiu Niang died at the hands of Fugui.

Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang glanced at each other, their faces solemn, "Sesame oil can relieve pain and itching by wiping the burns, and the things he hides ......"

As a few people were talking, they saw Li Zhu coming in a hurry, and said with an anxious expression: "My lord, Jinyinfang is on fire, and there are still many guys trapped inside. ”

Huang Dashan stood up when he heard this, "Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and send someone to put out the fire." ”

"My lord, we need to go to Yu's house immediately." didn't have time to think about it, Xu Chu immediately spoke.

"Hey, hey, then let Li Zhutou go with him, and the official will go to Jinyinfang first."

The matter was urgent, and a few soldiers went in two ways. When he arrived at Yu's house, it was still the housekeeper who stepped forward to greet him, but Xu Chu didn't have the time to deal with it politely, and went straight to the main courtyard. When they kicked open the closed door of the main house, several people saw the embarrassed figure of Yu Fugui who was being kicked by the neck, and behind him was Mrs. Zhang, who looked crazy.

"Separate people!" Xu Chu turned his head and ordered. However, Mrs. Zhang didn't let go at this time as if she was crazy, and in desperation, she could only look at Xiao Qinglang for help, only to see Xiao Qinglang's sleeves move slightly and neatly and slashed at the back of Zhang's neck, and then Mrs. Zhang's body collapsed to the side.

Here, Xu Chu no longer spoke, but Xiao Qinglang waved his hand to let Butler Yu help people up.

After entering the house, the kung fu of half a cup of tea was restored to Fugui. Xiao Qinglang asked bluntly: "Do you know about the relocation of Liu Jiaxing's family in Dashi Village eight years ago?" ”

Yu Fugui, who was still depressed, took a breath, suddenly raised his head, and his haggard face turned pale in an instant. It can be seen that the name Liu Jiaxing has had an impact on him.

Xiao Qinglang didn't care too much, just had sharp eyes, staring at him motionless, until the other party avoided his gaze weakly.

"What are you talking about, I don't know ......" Yu Fugui shuddered his lips and sneered in a dumb voice, "What Liu Jiaxing and Zhang Jiaxing, I don't know." ”

Xiao Qinglang saw his face change abruptly, squinted his eyes and said: "You don't know, but Mrs. Kezun is a childhood sweetheart with him, and I heard that the two of them have a marriage contract." I think if it weren't for you, their children would probably be over seven years old! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Fugui directly collapsed and looked at Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu dumbfounded. Seeing that the two of them looked solemn, and they didn't look like they were lying to him, they couldn't help but sink their hearts, after so much time about this matter, even if there were no rumors at that time, how did they know?

Although Zhang Xiucai tore his face with himself, it was about Qiu Niang's name, and he would never be ruthless to let Qiu Niang bear the stigma after her death. And the doctor who had prescribed medicine for Qiu Niang to see a doctor has long since disappeared.

He did hide a lot of things from the past, but he didn't expect the origin of those things to be known. The matter has been hidden for eight years, and even the Huang County Commander personally led people to track down the case before did not show any clues, but how did they know now?

Yu Fugui was shocked and anxious in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything for a while, so he just blindly denied it.

However, without waiting for him to think about it again, and without waiting for Xiao Qinglang to say more, he heard Xu Chu, who had not said a word since he entered the house, suddenly scolded him: "You know that the Zhang family had a stain before marriage and had a miscarriage, so since they got married, they ignored her coldly, and even brought the dusty woman home again and again." A few days ago, Xu had a quarrel between the two of you over a trivial matter, and you killed someone in a fit of rage, and faked the scene with a broken vase! ”
