Old man Cao faced all kinds of torture instruments in the county government, and had to explain the ins and outs clearly.

He has relied on Cao Feihua for so many years, and his grandson borrowed money to open this grain and oil shop in Qingyuan County. The second sister of Chun is an orphan, and when there was a famine, Old Man Cao once gave her food, and they knew each other well.

Six years ago, the old man Cao began to lose his eyesight, and he didn't get better after taking a lot of medicine, Cao Feihua felt sorry for his grandfather, so he followed the second sister of Chun to go to the rivers and lakes and learned some three-legged cat kung fu.

What makes money fast on the rivers and lakes? Naturally, it is a black-hearted deed.

Second Sister Chun and Cao Feihua are not supported by their parents, they don't know right and wrong, they just think that it is good to earn money, and they don't bother to distinguish between good and evil, and they don't know how many heinous acts they have done.

Until she opened a black shop in the suburbs and met Chu Ji, Lin Boqin and others, it was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Second Sister Chun. She has such a strong personality, she can't swallow this breath, and vows to seek revenge on Xiao Xu.

When Chu Ji heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "Second Sister Chun deceived Xiao Xu's sword and killed Wu Guangbi in a vain attempt to frame him?" ”

Old man Cao said "um" and nodded his head: "Erchun said that she can't beat Xiao Xu, she can only use this method." ”

"There are so many accompanying officials, why is it Wu Guangbi?"

"Maybe it's because Wu Guangbi has the most power." Without waiting for Old Man Cao to answer, Lin Boqin took over the conversation, "The top priority is to arrest Second Sister Chun and bring her to justice." ”

After speaking, he looked at Old Man Cao coldly and asked, "How do I contact Second Sister Chun?" ”

Old man Cao gritted his teeth, he didn't want to say it, Chu Cheng directly picked up a pair of iron hooks hanging on the wall and shook them in front of Old Man Cao: "You can't see clearly, right, this is a pair of iron hooks, specially hooked on the shoulder blades of those prisoners who don't tell the truth." Do you know where the shoulder blades are? Chu Cheng patted him on the shoulder with a hook, "A hook will pass through you, the skin will open and the flesh will bloom, and the blood will spatter, tsk!" ”

Old man Cao was frightened, but still didn't speak.

Chu Cheng snorted, raised his hand and went to pull his shirt, Lin Boqin couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed her hand, and twisted his sword eyebrows slightly: "Leave this kind of thing to the officials, what kind of fun are you a woman doing." As he spoke, he took the hook from Chu Hui's hand and handed it to Yang La next to him.

Old man Cao saw that Chu Chengjiao was a dripping woman, so he was not particularly afraid, but now that the hook fell into Yang La's hands, he thought of the torture methods he had heard about, and suddenly trembled with fright: "Second Sister Chun will go back to the grain and oil shop tomorrow, she ...... She said there was something she hadn't done yet. ”

Lin Boqin glanced at him: "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know."

"When will you come back?"

"I don't know."

Chu Cheng pursed her lips angrily and said to Yang La: "I don't know this, I don't know that, give him a hook, and he will know everything!" ”

Yang La made a gesture to scare him, and the old man Cao hurriedly shouted: "Wronged, I really don't know!" Erchun acted mysteriously, I didn't know anything except that she killed Wu Guangbi! ”

His eyes were red when he said it, and Chu Cheng believed it for three points.

At this time, Gu Jingtong, who went to report the news to Cai Gaoyi, Chen Zhifu and others, hurried to the prison.

Lin Boqin hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What did Lord Cai and Lord Chen say?" Did you get time? ”

Gu Jingtong sighed and shook his head: "Seven days, Second Sister Chun must be caught within seven days, otherwise Xiao Xuan will die the same, and you will ...... the same" He glanced at Chu Cheng and did not continue.

Chu Cheng couldn't help but be a little angry: "The witness is here, the murderer is the second sister of Naichun, why do Cai Gaoyi and Governor Chen still have to misjudge?" ”

"Before Second Sister Chun is arrested, everything can't be concluded." Gu Jingtong waved his hand, "The imperial court oppression is too tight, and Governor Chen said that he has no choice." After speaking, he looked at Lin Boqin, as if he wanted to hear what he meant.

Lin Boqin groaned slightly, and then said: "Immediately send some more people, and all of them will go to the grain and oil shop to ambush." As soon as Second Sister Chun appears tomorrow, she must be arrested! Gu Jingtong bowed his head, turned around and was about to go to Governor Chen's mansion to borrow someone, Lin Boqin remembered something again, "By the way, call Feng He too." ”

He had seen the martial arts of the second sister of Nachun, and after thinking about it, it was still safer for Feng He.

Next.

Lin Boqin led enough people to surround the grain and oil shop, and although Chu Cheng was anxious, he didn't dare to go with him.

She knew that Xie Luoying was worried about Xiao Xu, so she asked Su Yu to bring a message over, saying that the real murderer would definitely be caught today, and Xiao Lu would be innocent. When Xie Luoying learned of this, she was so excited that she simply hurried to Lin Mansion and waited for news with Chu Hui.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it is already the hour of mist, Xie Tongtong and Su Yu, two children, running back and forth tirelessly, but still not bringing back good news.

Xie Luoying and Chu Hui's faces became more and more serious.

The wind was deep and heavy at night, but Xie Luoying pushed the door and stood in the middle of the night, the cold wind blew on her cheeks, and she suddenly smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Lin, the night is deep, I will leave first." ”

Chu Cheng opened her mouth and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but thinking that if Xiao Qi was guilty, Lin Boqin would not be able to escape the blame, so he couldn't say it anyway.

After a while, she nodded lightly: "Be careful on the road." ”

This night, Chu Cheng didn't fall asleep.

Even after a few days, there was no news from the second sister of Chun, and seeing that there were two more days to the agreed deadline, Chu Ji couldn't hold back anymore, so she let Mabi go to the yamen.

But she didn't think that when Mabi came back, she was shocked, and almost trembled and said to her: "Madam, something is wrong! ”

"How bad?" Chu Shen stood up and hurriedly ran out to greet him.

Mao Bi didn't know how to speak, she didn't dare to hide it, gritted her teeth and said: "Lord Lin has been ambushing people these days, and she hasn't waited for Second Sister Chun. Instead...... On the contrary, the only witness is the old man Cao...... Died suddenly and violently in prison today! ”

"What?"

Chu Ji's heart was shocked, could it be that the heavens would let Lin Boqin suffer?

She made up her mind, put the hat on her head, didn't take the stove, and hurried to the county office, no matter how she called behind her, she didn't look back.

The county government was lifeless.

In the coffin in the side hall, there was an elderly male corpse covered with a white cloth, and Lin Boqin moved a chair and sat next to him in a daze.

When Chu Cheng arrived, he happened to see him staring at Old Man Cao's corpse in a daze.

"Lin Boqin."

She strode into the room and called his name.

Lin Boqin noticed that the light was dimming, he turned his head slightly, and saw that it was Chu Hui, but his eyes were calm: "There are ghosts in the yamen, I don't know who it is." ”

There are too many people who have come into contact with this case, from the government to the county government, from Cai Gaoyi's people to Wu Guangbi's people. He can be suspicious, but he can't go and interrogate, why? Because the official level crushed people to death.

Chu Cheng seemed to have a spiritual connection with him, and they all took this into account.

She looked at Old Man Cao's body again and asked, "On the day of the arrest of Second Sister Chun, Second Sister Chun had already learned the news, so she didn't appear again?" ”

"It should be."

"There are a lot of doubtful people." Chu Cheng hooked the corners of her mouth, and she walked closer, "However, there are only a handful of people you trust." ”

Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean ......?"

"Second Sister Hong has been arrested and is in prison." Chu Cheng winked at him, then raised her sleeve and turned around, "What's the matter?" Cover your face and bow your head, right? ”

Chu Cheng wanted to lure the snake out of the hole.

Less than two days before the deadline, Lin Boqin was still worried about her safety: "No, I won't let you put yourself in danger." ”

"There's no danger, okay!"

"Even if there is no danger, how can you be sure that Second Sister Chun is not with that mole? Acting like this doesn't work at all. ”

Chu Ji was about to lose her temper, she stepped forward and grabbed his arm and shook it: "Ouch, Lord Lin, when is this, can you be bold and give it a try?" ”

"I'm going to care about your safety."

Chu Cheng felt that this was his excuse.

She bit her lip and said: "It's very simple, I'll stay in prison, you can find two trusted people to ambush next to you when the time comes, when the inner ghost appears, just pounce on him and catch him, what danger can I have?" She changed her words, and her beautiful apricot eyes narrowed slightly, "Or do you not even have the ability to protect your wife, husband?" Is it a coward? ”

"Hugh Ji uses the method of agitation."

Lin Boqin said coldly.

"I'm for your good!"

Chu Cheng is sweet and coquettish.

Lin Boqin: "......" He couldn't refute Chu Cheng's soft tone at all.

Chu Ji saw that he was slightly loosened, and hurriedly added while the iron was hot: "Besides, now that there are internal ghosts in the yamen, the only one you can trust is me...... Well, who else? Gu Jingtong? Hu Yu? Yang La? ”

Lin Boqin pondered for a moment, and then said, "Sheng Feng, Hu Yu, Yang La, as well as the master book and several other officials can all be trusted. ”

"What about Feng He?"

Lin Boqin's eyes froze slightly, and he said solemnly: "Yes." ”

Chu Cheng stroked his palms and smiled: "Then this will be easy to do, when the time comes, I will pretend to be the second sister of Chun, you let Hu Yu Yangla escort me, and the big horn will hang around the street, and then talk loudly, and lock me in the first few prisons." At night, I don't believe that the ghost is still sitting! "The reason why the inner ghost is an inner ghost is precisely because he is also inseparable from Wu Guangbi's case, otherwise why would he assassinate Old Man Cao, and why would he report to Second Sister Chun?

The two of them deliberated again for a while, and then formalized the next steps.

Lin Boqin brought Gu Jingtong Yang La and others, explained them in detail, and asked Chu Cheng to change into a bewitching red dress.

Chu Cheng coiled her hair into a fairy bun, full of pearls and emeralds, and pinned a red and bright hibiscus flower to her ear, which was completely the charming dress of the second sister Chun.

She unfolded the veil, covered half of her face with her hand, and looked at Lin Boqin with her eyes like autumn water, her eyes fluttering: "How? Isn't it a little similar to the proprietress in the inn? ”

Lin Boqin's heart trembled, and poems like "The beauty covers the past and the present, and the lotus flower is ashamed" instantly appeared in his mind.

He only felt that his breathing was a little unsmooth, and when he glanced at it, he let out a flat "um".

“…… If you don't answer, forget it. Chu Cheng was bored with herself, shook off the veil that covered her face, and turned her head to find Hu Yu and others to prepare for acting.

Lin Boqin looked at her briskly departing back, and only smiled for a long time.

Night.

Almost everyone in Qingyuan County has learned the news that the real murderer of the imperial court official, the "lame old lady" Second Sister Chun, has been arrested!
