Except for the part of the female ghost, Liu's case is a bit ridiculous, and Yin Qianshan can't help but smile bitterly when he thinks about it. Earlier today, Liu Gui, a hawker, and his wife, Liu Mengshi, together with several relatives and friends, forcibly took the family's maid You Shi to the county government to report the case. Liu Gui was crying and crying throughout the whole process, and he didn't know if it was because the wound was too painful or distressed. Sometimes he looked at his wife with complaining and helpless eyes, and sometimes he secretly glanced at You Shi, his face full of pity and love.

"My lord, you must severely punish this slut who does not abide by women's morals! Our Liu Gui's eyes are a breadwinner, so this shameless slut is ruined, Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of the people's wife! Liu Mengshi didn't give up, and the resentful eyes almost made You Shi eat the meat residue with no bones left.

Yin Qianshan looked at the murder weapon presented - the golden hairpin and fell into thought. Of course, he could see that the truth was not as simple and crude as Liu Meng's description, and there was no trace of hatred between Liu Gui and You Shi except for the strong ambiguity. This is actually a bloody drama of a strong wife cleaning up cheating men and women.

"My lord, the slave family really didn't hurt Liu Gui, the slave family saved him! If I hadn't screamed in time, the female ghost would have killed him! You Shi showed weakness, crying and crying, and Liu Gui also followed the red circles on the side.

"Silence!" With a snap, the wood fell on the public case, and it was immediately like a sharp sword, piercing the chaotic atmosphere. The public hall was immediately silent, and only Liu Gui's restrained moans remained.

According to the confessions of the three people just now, Yin Qianshan has already roughly sorted out the context of the case.

Last night, Liu Gui and You Shi met for a tryst, but Liu Gui met a woman wearing a scarlet dress and a long skirt, and the woman stabbed her with a golden hairpin and fled, and You found it in time and sent Liu Gui to the hospital. Something so big happened, how could you hide it from Liu Mengshi? Of course, Liu Mengshi didn't believe in the female ghost, and insisted that You hurt people. Because there were no other witnesses at the time of the crime, You was speechless, and Liu Gui was afraid of his fierce wife and did not dare to resist too much.

In fact, Yin Qianshan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and it is very strange for Liu Gui to think that the woman in scarlet clothes is a ghost. Yin Qianshan thought that maybe he said this just to muddy the case and achieve the purpose of helping You Shi clear his suspicion.

"My lord, you first came to Pinghu County, and you don't know much about the past." Liu Gui explained, "The owner of Huayu's garden is the richest man in the county a year ago, Xue Mansion, who doesn't know who in Pinghu County?" In addition to being rich, this Xue Mansion is also well-known! ”

"Mrs. Xue of Xuefu, she was recognized as the first beauty in Pinghu County before she got married, she likes to wear a scarlet skirt the most, that style, it's really..." Liu Guishi couldn't help but be fascinated when he said this, but he noticed that the two women on his side were full of vinegar and disdain, and he didn't dare to say anything more immediately.

Xue Mansion? Yin Qianshan couldn't help but feel a little curious about this once rich family, and this legendary Xue family couldn't help but yearn for it. Why did the Xue Mansion wither and fall, and is this golden hairpin really Xue's item?

"Liu Gui," Yin Qianshan asked, "it was night when the crime occurred, how can you conclude that the perpetrator was wearing a scarlet robe?" ”

Liu Gui was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "If you go back to your lordship, the moonlight was very good last night, so I really saw it." The red, blood-like one, must be right. ”

Yin Qianshan thought about it for a while, and first called for Wang Qi to examine the injury and verify the consistency between the wound and the golden hairpin. He also called the doctor who treated Liu Gui's injuries to testify, and after confirming that the golden hairpin was undoubtedly the murder weapon, he first temporarily detained You's family, and then sent Liu Gui and his people to wait for treatment at home to wait for summoning at any time, and then handed over the golden hairpin to Wang Qi, the head catcher, and instructed: "You send someone to take the golden hairpin to the gold and silver shops and jewelry shops in the county to verify, and be sure to find out the origin of the golden hairpin." Wang Qi took the order.

didn't think much about it, only an hour later, Lu Sheng came to report the disappearance of his companion Liu Sheng, the time was last night, and the location happened to be in Huayu.

At that time, Yin Qianshan was consulting the files of the Xue Mansion, and he had learned from Wang Qi that the fall of the Xue family was also involved in a life lawsuit, so he immediately rushed to the treasury after leaving the court, and couldn't wait to clear his mind and crack the secret of the woman in scarlet clothes.

Two seemingly unrelated cases, but the time and place are so coincidental. Could it be that this woman in scarlet clothes is really a terrible female ghost, she not only blinded Liu Gui, but also killed Liu Sheng by the way?

Yin Qianshan knew that the top priority was to immediately block Huali and send someone to search this long-deserted garden thoroughly. If the woman in scarlet clothes pretended to be a ghost, it was impossible for her not to leave any traces in Huawei, let alone a woman. At the same time, he also has to find out the origin of the golden hairpin as soon as possible.

After quickly arranging everything, Yin Qianshan didn't have time to eat, so he rushed into the file warehouse.

Let's finish the trial of the cases related to Xue Mansion first! Yin Qianshan thought that maybe there would be another gain. He settled down and continued to read the dossier in his hand.

…

Xue Fu started in the rice business, and then it was out of control, silk, tea and porcelain were involved, and he became the richest man in Pinghu in just five years. The old man of Xue Mansion is more than half a hundred years old before he has an only daughter, Xue Miaoren, who was born with a beautiful appearance and graceful demeanor. Master Xue didn't want to marry a daughter, so he recruited a lot of money. Xu Yingtang, who is talented and talented, was fortunate to marry Xue Miaoren, who was loved by thousands of people, and became the envy of every man in Pinghu County overnight. Since then, Xu Yingtang has changed his surname to Xue and has become the master of Xue Mansion.

This family is not like a master who will harm people's lives, how can they be involved in a life lawsuit? When Yin Qianshan read this, he couldn't help but be curious.

was about to continue reading, but Wang Qi's shop brought someone to report that the origin of the golden hairpin had been investigated.

"My lord, it has been ascertained that the golden hairpin is from the time-honored gold shop Fenglai Pavilion in the city" The head of the shop said solemnly, spitting out the words sonorously and powerfully, and there was a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman standing next to him, "The humble position has brought Zhang Chengjun, the shopkeeper of Fenglai Pavilion, please ask." ”

Zhang Chengjun looked shrewd, and made a bow to Yin Qianshan very respectfully, "Lord Yin, villain Zhang Chengjun." ”

Yin Qianshan got straight to the point and said: "The golden hairpin is the jewelry sold in your shop, why are you so sure?" ”

"Back to my lord. This golden hairpin only played three in the store, sold two, and left one in the inventory, and the villain also brought it, please take a look. He said and took out a brand-new golden hairpin from his sleeve, which was very dazzling, "Your Excellency, you also know that Pinghu is not a big place, and such exquisite jewelry can only be made in my family, of course, there are only a handful of people who can afford it." Zhang Chengjun looked proud.

After taking the two golden hairpins presented, Yin Qianshan carefully compared them and found that in addition to the difference between the old and the new, the carving details were indeed exactly the same.

"Who did you sell the two that you sold to?" Yin Qianshan asked.

"Lord Hui, one was sold to Grandpa Xue of Xue Mansion Xue Yingtang." Zhang Chengjun's expression showed a hint of fear when he said this, "The other one was sold to a merchant from the capital. ”

Yin Qianshan couldn't help frowning, it turned out to be really a thing of the Xue Mansion.

"Tell me the details of Xue Yingtang's purchase of the golden hairpin." Yin Qianshan put down the golden hairpin and looked at Zhang Chengjun.

"Yes, sir. The villain remembered that it was in March last year, Mrs. Xue's birthday, and Mr. Xue sent someone to our store to buy this golden hairpin and give it to Mrs. Xue as a birthday gift. Zhang Chengjun replied.

"What about the accounts?"

"Yes," Zhang Chengjun hurriedly took out an account book from his arms, "Please take a look." ”

Yin Qianshan took the account book and unfolded it to look at the details such as the date, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "This golden hairpin actually costs two hundred gold?" ”

A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Zhang Chengjun's face, and he replied with a stammer: "Lord Hui, this golden hairpin is made of fine gold and high-quality ruby sapphires, and it is made by top craftsmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Naturally, it's a bit more expensive than regular jewelry.."

Yin Qianshan secretly observed his face and sneered: "Your price is comparable to the jewelry in the gold shop in the capital." Didn't you still sell one, you turned it out and took a look. ”

Zhang Chengjun's face changed slightly, revealing an embarrassed look: "Go back to your lord, it's on the next two pages." ”

Yin Qianshan was turning the page, but suddenly another official came to report-

"My lord, Xue Mansion Huayu found a male corpse."

Everyone present was shocked.

The official showed that the news was not strong enough, and added: "Wang Zhutou said, the corpse is..." ”

Zhang Chengjun almost fell to the ground when he heard this, and he muttered: "How is it possible, this Master Xue has been dead for a year!" ”

"How can it be sure of Xue Yingtang?" Yin Qianshan asked.

"Because," the official paused for a moment, and said, "Because the male corpse is as lifelike as the one who just died." Wang Zhutou recognized it immediately. ”

"Ghost, ghost!" Zhang Chengjun exclaimed.
