Han Peng measured the distance between the blood stains on the ground and the horse manure with his footsteps: "I don't think it's a coincidence, this is the matter of your governor's mansion and yamen, and I don't want to interfere, but I think you should focus on the carriage and ox cart in the east of the city first, especially the one who came out last night, if there are any clues, let me know if you have any clues, Lord Chen, you help me carry it first, you don't know how miserable I and Yang Yong have been recently, and I really can't spare time to visit him."

"Don't you know Lord Chen's personality? It's okay, King Qi's heart for Princess Qi is really rare, and I believe that God will definitely let a lover eventually become a family."

"Thank you for the auspicious words"

Li Zhutou, who felt that Han Peng's words were very reasonable, listened to Han Peng's suggestion and focused on the east of the city, because he himself also lived in the east of the city, so it was relatively convenient to investigate, the east of the city was a relatively common area of the imperial capital, and there were not many families with horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, and there were a total of four families who made a living by pulling carts, including Uncle Xiang from their same village.

According to the idea of the yamen, the robbers must be the ones who pick the rich, so they started with the rich people's houses, and after visiting more than a dozen large households in the east of the city for a day, they answered about the same, and they didn't find anything unusual when they went home last night.

So here's the problem, these people either saw these two bastards die and pretended not to see them, or these two goods died after everyone went home, and it was not completely dark when Li Zhutou went home and passed by Lao Li's house, and at a glance saw the black horse of Lao Li's family tied to the front yard, and the old Li family, who ate in a carriage, had never tethered the horse to the front yard before it was dark, especially after Li Dasheng died, for the sake of livelihood, Lao Li usually pulled the cart until it was dark before going home, and the curious Li Zhutou walked into the courtyard of Lao Li's house: "Uncle Xiang, Calling it a day so early today? ”

Lao Li, who chopped firewood with his left hand, returned: "Yes, Xiaodong, you can sit and cook with your aunt, and you will have a few sips at Uncle Xiang's house in a while."

"Uncle Xiang, how do you chop wood with your left hand?"

Lao Li looked at his right arm: "Uh........ This person is useless when he's old, and he accidentally fell this morning and injured his right hand, so he didn't go to catch the car today."

"So that's the case, you can be careful in the future, is the pension for that big victory down?"

"I've asked many times, and I've always said that the court hasn't allocated it yet, so I have to wait slowly."

"How is Hu'er today?"

"I was just coaxed to sleep by his mother, and in the morning your mother also sent goat milk to Hu'er to drink, you go back to thank her for your uncle"

"Okay, I'll go first, uncle, if you need anything in the future, you can tell me that you are welcome."

Li Zhutou, who was tired for a day, returned home, and the food was already on the table and added dishes than usual, Li Zhutou sat down and picked up chopsticks and started eating: "Mother, why did you add vegetables today?"

Aunt Li came out with the soup and said with a smile: "Can't you add vegetables if it's okay?" ”

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the last time I added vegetables should have been the day I was promoted to catch my head, and I knew that there must be something good with your eyebrows and smiles, otherwise what would I do with your son?"

"You kid, how can you save money to marry your daughter-in-law if you don't save some money for your orphans and widows?"

"There's no urgency, don't worry about it"

"You're my son, I don't worry about it, who cares? In the past, when you were a small catcher, you didn't have to worry about it, after all, you were not very old at that time, and now you are already a head catcher, and you will always make the people under your hands laugh."

"I'm not afraid of their jokes, they love to laugh and make them laugh, don't talk about this when you eat, by the way, Uncle Xiang asked me to thank you for the goat milk you gave Hu'er"

"Hu'er is pitiful and has no father at such a young age, his mother's milk is less, our villagers can help it, I was about to tell you about it, this morning when I sent goat's milk over, I saw their family visitor, a young girl looks white and pure and water is very smart, Uncle Xiang said that it is a distant relative of Hu'er Niang, I plan to let Hu Er Niang tell this girl to you to be your daughter-in-law, what do you think?"

"Daddy Hu'er has just left, aren't you going to tell people about this at this time? Say it slowly."

"I thought the same way at first, but this good girl doesn't wait for anyone, and if she misses it, it's gone."

"You still don't know, there was a murder in Chengdong last night, two lives, I just got promoted to the head of the head A few months ago, such a big thing happened, I can't be beaten back to my original form, at least wait until I deal with this murder case."

The next day, early in the morning, Li Zhutou rushed to the yamen without eating: "Mother, I won't eat at home today when the yamen has a lot of things."

"Okay, remember to eat a bowl of noodles when you go out, don't be hungry, you know?"

"Got it"

"I just milked the goat's milk on the table, you bring it to Hu'er"

"Okay!"

Li Zhutou's name is Li Xudong, 21 years old this year, he is also very upright, and he is also the youngest head catcher in the governor's yamen for decades.

When Li Zhutou came to Uncle Xiang's house with goat's milk, he suddenly remembered his mother's words: That girl is white and pure, and she is very smart. But he clearly remembered that Hu'er Niang was a farmer in Zhaojiazhuang, when did their family have such relatives?

"Uncle Xiang, this is the goat milk that my mother asked me to give to Hu'er"

"Thank you so much for her, if it weren't for these goat milk tigers sent by your mother these days, she would be hungry"

"It's okay uncle, I heard my mother say that your family has relatives?"

Uncle Xiang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes began to be in a trance: "Oh...... Yes, it's Hu'erniang's cousin, and after hearing about the big victory, I came to see Hu'erniang"

"So that's the case, there have been murders in the city these days, and the yamen is busy, so I won't talk to you"

At the moment when Li Zhutou said that there was a murder in the east of the city, Uncle Xiang's hand holding goat's milk shook unconsciously, and he almost spilled the goat's milk, with Li Xudong's many years of experience in catching fast, he told him that Uncle Xiang might know something, and it happened that Uncle Xiang was also one of the people who pulled the car: "Uncle Xiang, did you go out to pull the car on the night of the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

"Ah...... Not...... Yes, but I was not well that night, and I received it early."

"Then I'll go to the yamen first."

Uncle Xiang, who has always been upright and honest, today's strange behavior makes Li Xudong obviously feel that something is wrong, Uncle Xiang is not a murderer, but he must know something, but Uncle Xiang has just lost his son, and his mood is inevitably sad, before there is no definite evidence, he can't speculate so wildly to make Aunt Xiang worry, when leaving Uncle Xiang's house, Li Xudong glanced around, he unexpectedly found that there was a puddle of water stains under the carriage sedan hidden behind the haystack, it seems that the sedan car has just been washed, not long ago, after the murder, Uncle Xiang's hand was inexplicably injured, is still cleaning the car car on such a cold day, he always feels that all this should not be a coincidence.
