Chen Jinbao and Wang Fugui boiled a pot of water, washed off the mud stains on their bodies, changed their clothes, and waited in the yamen refreshed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info waiting for Dali Temple and the catch sent out to come back.

"Chen Zhutou, you are quite idle."

Chen Jinbao looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw Ling Xianjie wearing an official uniform and swaggering over with his hands behind his back.

Chen Jinbao stepped forward and asked, "Lord Ling, have you asked the woodcutter for something?" ”

Ling Xianjie turned his head to the other side, deliberately not looking at Chen Jinbao.

"The man has been caught, and it is only a matter of time before he will confess."

Chen Jinbao heard Ling Xianjie say this, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Lord Ling, are you too hasty to arrest people before you understand the matter?"

Ling Xianjie looked at Chen Jinbao and smiled, his eyes seemed to be looking at a child.

"Hahahaha, Chen Zhutou, don't you understand the truth of this case now?"

Chen Jinbao stared at Ling Xianjie, he understood that if Ling Xianjie hadn't been asked by his master back then, he wouldn't have been able to go to Dali Temple at all. And now deliberately doing this kind of thing, maybe he just wants to humiliate the master and prove that he is better than the master.

"Lord Ling, according to the investigation of the lower officials, it is too early to say the truth. Do you know that Wu Jie really happened to see Yang Ming digging a grave, and it wasn't who asked him to go there to guard it. Moreover, the deceased died in Chenshi (7 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the morning), and the old mother of the shopkeeper Sun was buried at the moment of Chen (about 7:15 in the morning), counting the time at the funeral, it is said that the time of the murder of the shopkeeper Sun and the death of the deceased do not match at all, and if you have to suspect it, you can only suspect that the shopkeeper Sun hired a murderer; However, how the shopkeeper Sun transported the body out of the city is still under investigation. If you arrest Wu Jie back and interrogate him now, do you want to be beaten into a trick? ”

When Ling Xianjie heard this, he looked at Chen Jinbao with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Chen Zhutou, you don't seem to have learned much from Zheng Qing, but your courage is quite big. Your county lord has to be respectful to the official, you don't bow or bow when you see the official, and the official doesn't say anything, but now you still slander the official and grab people indiscriminately. You've never been boarded, have you? ”

Wang Fugui, who had been standing behind Chen Jinbao, pulled Chen Jinbao's clothes and motioned for him to stop talking. It stands to reason that Ling Xianjie is the secretary of Dali Temple, and he is one level older than the county magistrate, not to mention that he is still a Beijing official who was ordered to go down to the state capital; Not to mention the county master, the prefect has to give three points, how can Chen Jinbao be the head catcher of the county government to provoke him.

"Fugui, don't pull me."

Wang Fugui kindly reminded him, and Chen Jinbao also asked him not to talk about it. Helpless, Wang Fugui could only step forward to give Ling Xian's masterpiece.

"My lord, Chen Zhutou is eager to solve the case, so he will make mistakes in his words, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins."

Ling Xianjie smiled when he heard this, propped up his official uniform and said, "Haha, okay, you don't have to investigate any more, and I will tell you the truth about the two of you after the official solves the case." ”

After that, Ling Xianjie turned around and left, leaving only Chen Jinbao's master and apprentice there, you look at me, I look at you.

"Master, your courage is really big enough, this person is bigger than our grandfather, you dare to provoke casually?"

As soon as Chen Jinbao heard this, he didn't know where to fight.

"Who wants to mess with him? If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have bothered to say anything about him. ”

Wang Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead. I thought to myself, the master can be regarded as okay, if you change someone, who would dare to say a word to an official who is so much older.

"But master, then again, what is this Dali Temple going down to our county for? If it was just for this case, they wouldn't have been seen in so many cases before. ”

Chen Jinbao thought for a while and said, "It should be for the pile of gold and silver jewelry that was dug up." Hey, speaking of which, I think of one thing, it seems that the previous case was two people who sold antiquities of unknown origin and killed each other. ”

When Wang Fugui heard this, he put his thumb in his mouth and bit it, and then said: "Hey, master, I remember that the case of a family of four who died in the family was also because of a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry left by his old man, and the family of four killed each other and caused the destruction of the family." ”

Hearing Wang Fugui say this, Chen Jinbao fell into deep thought with his hands in his arms. And Wang Fugui scratched the back of his head at this time and smiled embarrassedly.

"Hmm..... Master, no, no, the case of a family of four is something left by the old man to the two brothers, how long has it been since now. It should not be possible to connect with the current case. ”

Chen Jinbao waved his hand, and then said, "No, the old man left something for the two brothers, which I speculated. I still have no evidence of this. ”

When Wang Fugui heard this, the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier, as if things could be connected.

"Master, according to what you say, are these cases related?"

Chen Jinbao touched his chin with his hand, wrinkles wrinkled one after another like a knife in the middle of his closed eyes, and he recalled the first two cases vigorously, as if the murderer's motives were a little unclear. First of all, it was a case of a family of four, the two brothers and their daughter-in-law fought for the inheritance left by the old man, and this inheritance was the funeral goods of King Jing, but this so-called inheritance was guessed by himself, and then Liu Yuanwai of Xicheng said that the old man of the Zhou family was very generous when he rented the land, so he didn't think much about it. Later, in the case of the ghost house in Nancheng, the murderer and the deceased were two "partners" who sold a bunch of antiquities of unknown origin together, and the so-called antiquities of unknown origin were not investigated after the case was resolved. And now that the case has once again been involved in a bunch of antiquities of unknown origin, it cannot be a coincidence. The purpose of Dali Temple must be this.

"Rich."

Chen Jinbao had been closing his eyes and not saying a word just now, but now he suddenly startled Wang Fugui.

"What's the matter, master? Scared me. ”

"Where is the murderer from the previous case now?"

Wang Fugui thought for a while, and then said: "He was sentenced to death, but it seems that he has not been beheaded yet, and he should still be locked up in prison now." ”

When Chen Jinbao heard this, Lu Dayou, who should have been beheaded, was still alive in prison until now, and he was even more sure that he had something to do with this case.

"Fugui, let's go to the prison now to interrogate him, there must be some secrets behind him that have not been explained."

"Yes!"

The two hurriedly ran to the prison and found the cell leader, but before the cell boss could speak, Chen Jinbao preemptively said: "Hurry up and bring Lu Dayou to the torture room, I will interrogate him." ”

The cell boss pursed his lips helplessly and looked at Chen Jinbao.

Chen Jinbao saw the cell boss's embarrassed expression, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The cell boss shook his head and said, "Chen Zhutou, it's not the right time for you to come, the adults of Dali Temple are trying him." ”

As soon as Chen Jinbao heard this, he understood, it seemed that Ling Xianjie didn't lie to him, he really didn't have to do anything now.

"Are they still in the torture chamber?" Chen Jinbao then asked.

The cell boss glanced at the torture room, and then said: "No, the torture room is the person who the adults of Dali Temple just brought back, and I don't know who it is, and I don't dare to ask more." No, the adults told me to come out and wait, and no one was allowed to go in. ”

Chen Jinbao sighed, walked to the door of the torture room and put his ear on it, and the cell boss just wanted to go up and pull him but was stopped by Wang Fugui.

The door to the torture chamber was thick, and the sound inside was faint.

"My lord, the villain really didn't lie........"
