The history of Laixiangcheng didn't dare to talk back to Zhuang Rou, there were still officials who didn't know her a few years ago, so now there are people who don't know her, no longer have to be officials, it's better to go home and farm.

Otherwise, the officials who are so ill-informed, who only live their own lives on one acre and three points of land, and don't care about the movements of the court at all, may have their heads falling off that day.

What kind of official is this kind of person, it is more suitable to go home and be a rich man.

Now Zhuang Xuewen is powerful, and he, the younger sister who is the captain of the horse, is also rising with the tide.

Even this time, the imperial court sent Feng Jingshui and Tianwuwei to rectify the rivers and lakes, and the three sects were destroyed in only ten days, and I heard that they were all because Zhuang Rou was kidnapped by the Jianghu people during the New Year.

For the sake of one person, he cleaned up the entire rivers and lakes, a petty official like the county order, was killed on the spot, as long as he was charged with a crime, not only could he not get a redress, but even his home would be confiscated, who would dare to offend such a person?

Zhuang Rou killed the county magistrate of Anjing County, and confiscated other people's property, and the court did not have the slightest intention of asking for guilt, so it was dealt with according to her intentions.

This matter has long been known to everyone in the officialdom, and of course everyone scolded her in private, and even scolded Zhuang Xuewen for covering the sky with one hand and indulging in his sister's murder. There is a royal history who risked his life in the court to connivance with his sister and beat the county order to death on the street, which should be punished.

Unexpectedly, people had already prepared a piece of evidence, which made the imperial historian unable to refute it on the spot, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit the dragon pillar. was also blocked by Zhuang Xuewen, who was particularly able to speak, and finally cried down to the court when he said that the imperial history.

Everyone didn't know if he was crying because he could survive, or if he was really persuaded to cry, but only one thing was extremely clear, Zhuang Rou would not be punished at all for killing a small official.

This kind of guy who wants to kill appears, who dares not to coax her to come.

The little girl, coaxed to be happy, eat, drink and play for a few days, just find an excuse to send her away, and it is not good to do it against her.

Laixiangcheng's classic surname is Sun, he hurriedly asked Zhuang Rou to be late, and when he heard that this was her house, he was even more concerned. It's just a little puzzled, this house was originally the property of the Nangong family, they gave the house to Zhuang Rou, did they want to hug Zhuang Xuewen's thigh?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Sun Dianshi quickly dispelled this thought, these are all things played by big people, and it is better for small people like them not to mix.

So he led people and pushed open the door of the house, and the group entered it.

Zhuang Rou knew that the process of this investigation was also written, as long as the head catchers took someone to check it in order, it would basically not be wrong to be a pig.

She also wanted to see what was going on inside, so she followed her into the house, but Qin Qiu was too lazy to move, and pulled Yinba to sit in the carriage and wait.

Bypassing the shadow wall, Zhuang Rou saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground, the blood under his body had dried up, and there was a broken lantern next to him.

Sun Dianshi carefully examined the wounds of the deceased, and the scribes and officials looked around the house, and found three more bodies in the antechamber. It's not yet in the backyard, and most of the dead are manservants or older mothers-in-law.

Zhuang Rou didn't affect their investigation of the case, just stood in a place that didn't hinder others, looking at the house that just belonged to her.

There is not much special about the house and the ordinary rich family, and the Nangong family probably didn't plan to use this place as a residence, maybe they just had the idea that more industries were better than less, or they also wanted to open a green building, so they would choose the location here.

Thinking that the next door was Huayan Building, and said that she stood upstairs and saw someone in the yard not moving, she looked up and looked around, and sure enough, she found a four-story embroidery building in Huayan Building in the west.

The upstairs is brightly lit, I don't know if I heard that there is a death here, and there are many figures standing by the window near this side, as if they are looking this way.

There was only a wall between the two houses, and under the wall in the front yard was a row of houses, which seemed to be a place for the guards to live and rest, and if someone came over the wall and stepped on the roof tiles, the guards would be able to spot it at the first time.

What is under the wall of the backyard, Zhuang Rou hasn't seen it yet, there is a maid ring who was killed at the entrance to the backyard, and the officials and scribes are checking there.

There was a small pavilion by the courtyard of the antechamber, which was very clean, so she went over and sat down in the pavilion and waited.

After sitting for a while, the lanterns hanging in the pavilion suddenly dimmed, and the lanterns hanging in the front hall were extinguished one by one.

At this time, there was no wind, and the lantern was not broken, which suddenly made everyone stunned.

There were dead bodies in this house, and it was a big night, and the lanterns were extinguished one by one, which made the more timid officials tremble directly.

By the moonlight and the lantern in the hand of the servant when he came, everyone stood still with wide eyes, Sun Dianshi reacted, and shouted angrily: "Lin Yanzuo, go over and take a look." ”

The reason why he called him to see it was because they dealt with the dead every day, and they would certainly not be afraid of any ghosts that would shock these unclean things.

Lin Chengzuo was an old man over half a hundred years old, with some bows on his back, probably used to being called, he stood up and took a lantern, walked to the eaves of the front hall, and took down a extinguished lantern.

Everyone looked at him nervously, if the lantern was okay but went out on its own, then they would have to go and light incense to pay respects.

For Zhuang Rou, who had shaved the corpse, she didn't believe this, but just sat on the stone table in the pavilion, paying attention to the movements around her. She didn't notice anyone hiding around, and it seemed that there was no expert in extinguishing the lantern just now.

Lin Yanzuo took the lantern and looked at it, his face full of old looks serious, and said with a cold voice: "The oil is burned dry." ”

"......" Sun Dianshi paused, and many officials around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Sun Dianshi pointed to the lantern and said, "Check all the lanterns, is all the oil burned dry!" ”

Knowing that it was not a ghost, the officials became bolder, and under the leadership of the head catcher, they checked the lantern, "My lord, this one is burned dry!" ”

"It's the same on my side, and even the water under the oil dish is gone."

"Your Excellency, the lanterns in the backyard that didn't light up when they came are also completely out of oil."

Sun Dianshi touched his goat's beard and said, "Judging from the stiffness and corpse spots of the corpse, it should be the murder that occurred last night." And these lanterns are precisely because after the death of the person last night, no one added oil to them, so the smaller ones have long been burned dry, and the large oil dish in the front hall has not been extinguished until this time. ”

"There are no traces of turning in the house, the wounds are neat, the knives are fatal, and there is no sign of cleaning and covering up the traces of the scene, which shows that this case is seeking revenge rather than money."

Zhuang Rou listened and nodded, feeling that he was right, and there was one thing he didn't mention, this house was the property of the Nangong family before, and it must have been done by someone who had an enmity with the Nangong family.

Because he couldn't kill Liuli Island, he couldn't beat the big ship, so he could only kill some of the Nangong family's subordinates to warn, which shows that this person is a vicious person.

At this time, call the people of the Nangong family, ask them who they have recently made a feud with, and then look for the enemies one by one, and Bacheng can find the murderer.

She was thinking like this, but she saw Sun Dianshi with his hands behind his back and said: "Okay, this case has been solved, send the corpses to the carriage and pull them to the mass grave for burial, and cover the road tightly, don't show it on the street." The New Year's Day swept away the joy. ”

That's it?

Zhuang Rou hurriedly walked out of the pavilion and asked, "Sun Dianshi, the murderer has been found?" ”

Sun Dianshi smiled: "Lord Zhuang, you don't know anything. This is a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, there are many people in the rivers and lakes of Laixiang City, this kind of vendetta has to happen more than a dozen times every time the Qianmei Meeting, and there are even more brawls, dozens of times a day, and they can't manage it at all, and the people in the rivers and lakes will do it if they don't agree with each other. ”

"So this kind of case doesn't need to be solved, these Jianghu people will go to find the murderer on their own to seek revenge, the yamen has investigated a few cases before, and the murderer was caught in prison, and the bitter master's family is still dissatisfied. In the middle of the night, he climbed into the yamen, killed people, and accidentally injured several officials and cell heads. ”

"So this kind of murder, don't worry about it, the people killed in this house are also subordinates of the Jianghu people, maybe they have also killed others, and they have been abused, and they are not innocent."

Zhuang Rou looked at him dumbfounded, how could he still be like this, the people in the rivers and lakes were very rampant in Laixiang City!

Seeing the surprise on her face, Sun Dianshi had to whisper: "Lord Zhuang, now is an important moment for the Qianmei Meeting, the people in the rivers and lakes are very oily, and the taxes for the whole year are pointing to this month." ”

"Please also raise your noble hand, the twenty slaves who are missing, the lower officials will send people over immediately, and they will not delay the adults to move in."

"How do you want me to live!" Zhuang Rou finally couldn't help but shout.
