Of course, Pomegranate didn't dare to let her master live in the small ear room, she cleaned up, moved over by herself, and laid out a clean futon for Wen Han, so she sat in the house and waited for the master to greet her.

"Brother, there won't be a perfect way for the time being, we have to investigate first, see what Qian Xiangui lives on, what people are around him, and who are in conflict, hmph, even if there is no, I will also cultivate an enemy for him."

"How could he have no enemies? Wherever Qian Xiangui goes, he is not a person who can work hard and live thrifty. Wen Han said.

"That's right, brother, people who don't want to contribute, but still want to enjoy, must have to do something to calculate others and harm others, we can do it after we investigate it clearly."

The two of them had decided to rest, and Wen Han had to get up early and rush to the county office.

Wen Jin tossed and turned, unable to sleep, if she hadn't befriended the people of Shiwei Village, and had always paid attention to personal safety, maybe before her brother, she would have been poisoned by Qian Xiangui, this villain was too vicious.

She thought of her second uncle, such a sincere person who wanted the family to love each other and work together, if she knew that her brother had hired a murderer to kill his son, she wouldn't know how sad it was.

Followed and inquired, Shang Yunhu had ready-made people under him, Wen Han didn't say anything about Qian Xiangui's relationship with him, and only asked him to keep an eye on and inquire about everything about Qian Xiangui.

Wen Jin already knew that Qian Wenyan was Jiang Congyang's outer room, and in order to hide it from Shang Yunhu, she would do it here.

Wen Jin's house has finally been repaired, the hotel is about to open, and everyone is very busy.

Wen Jin is no longer the same as when he first came last year, and he doesn't know anyone, but this time he opened, all the people in Huyang County received invitations, and even asked them to bring their daughters. With these people to walk around, the people on the dock, whoever dares to move Wen Jin, must first weigh it in their hearts.

The Qingpeng carriage came around again, and the people inside, no matter how vicious they were, couldn't cause harm to Wen Jin, he hated it so much, and felt that he was unlucky, Qian Wenhan Qian Wenjin, how could he have such a tough relative, and he, drilled around camping, couldn't have a relationship with the parents who were serious.

At the same time, at Jiang Congyang's house, Mrs. Jiang's personal maid, Mother Zhou, knelt on the ground tremblingly: "Madam! ”

"Tell me, what has the master been talking about lately?"

"......" The corners of Zhou's mother's mouth were dry, last year, she had already discovered the truth, but the master gave her a sum of money and asked her to help cover it up, but Mrs. suddenly asked today, she must have found something, Zhou's mother didn't know whether to tell the truth or continue to lie.

Seeing the person he had trusted all his life, cold sweat was dripping on his face, and Jiang Wang was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand: "You dare to lie to me, you dare to lie to me......" Mrs. Jiang picked up a feather duster and whipped Zhou's mother without a head or face, Zhou's mother hugged her head tightly and protected her face, and the huge pain made her cry silently.

"You still have the face to cry, why are you crying, I am so good to you, I have no conscience, dare to lie to me with outsiders-" Mrs. Jiang became more and more angry, fortunately, she was usually pampered, and she lost her strength after a few beatings.

Zhou's mother also reached the limit of patience, she cried a few times, suppressed the hatred in her heart, and then spoke: "Madam, I did this for your own good, my uncle's situation is getting worse, and now I have to rely on you to take money to make up for it, and the young master, the young master's body is getting worse and worse, the doctor said that he can't live to be sixteen years old, it's you who don't want to believe it, the old man is getting older year by year, if the young master has three long and two short, the uncle can't support you, madam, have you ever thought about it, at that time, how do you deal with yourself?" ”

During these days, his son's body has become more and more unbearable, and even a loud laugh may have his back on his back and never wake up again, Jiang Wang's family is very sad and has been in a trance, otherwise, he would not have let the man take advantage of the loophole and raise a woman outside.

Mrs. Jiang's maiden brother has been very difficult in the past few years, bribery has been pinched, the family's money has been sent out like a stream, and even her private house has to be subsidized, I just hope that my brother can use money to settle those troubles, but now, my brother is getting more and more difficult, and Mrs. Jiang has no confidence.

Zhou's mother is reasonable, she is in her forties, and the man is almost fifty years old, their only baby son, if he dies, his last reliance will no longer exist, and he will be the greatest, not to mention a man at that time, even a person in the family, he will dare to jump out and get along with her.

After the step, she didn't think about this problem, the only brother-in-law has always been eyeing her industry, don't say that she doesn't want to, men have always been guarding against their younger brothers.

Two years ago, when her sunflower water stopped, Zhou's mother persuaded her to buy a maidservant, raise a son for the master, and then go to the mother to keep the son, Jiang Wang's family couldn't accept a man and other women to roll the sheets anyway, and gave Zhou's mother a slap in the face at that time, this loyal maid never dared to mention it again.

People have no long-term worries, Jiang Wang's family has always refused to face the reality, but now, the most cruel and unacceptable fact has been placed in front of her, the man is not in front of her and other women, but he is carrying her back, and even the child is about to be born, how can she be embarrassed?

Mother Zhou watched the master lie on the kang for a while, then walked back and forth on the ground, couldn't help but show a cruel smile at the corner of her mouth, she was loyal all her life, but the master was beaten and scolded, never had a good face, later, she changed her mind, the male owner gave a rich reward, and now, she still has the opportunity to get more benefits from the hostess.

"Madame!"

"Get up." Jiang Wang's mind is a mess, and he hopes that she has always trusted the maid and gave a good idea.

Mother Zhou stood up, she was tall, not as hunched as before, looking at her master at the moment, she actually had a feeling of looking down, which made her heart feel very happy.

"You say, what should I do?"

"When the time comes, snatch that kid over, and as for the others—" Zhou's mother made a gesture with a knife.

"No!" Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but roar hoarsely, "No, I will never leave this family property to that cheap child."

"But ma'am—"

"As long as it's not the slut, whoever gives birth to it can do it!" Jiang Wangshi barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and had to bow her head in front of reality, once she thought about it, her mind became clear again, slowly sat down on the couch, and began to speak: "Help me pawn a clean woman, since I want to keep her child, her appearance will naturally be better, and she must be smart and intelligent, tall and manly, and wait for the family to be born, and the outside one, it is up to me to have the final say." Speaking of the back, Jiang Wang's silver teeth were clenched, and there was a hissing sound in his voice, just like the poisonous snake spitting out a letter, Zhou's mother was frightened, and her waist, which was easy to straighten up just now, collapsed again.

"Yes, ma'am, I'll do it as soon as I can."

Zhou's mother has long been ready, she was abducted by traffickers when she was a child, and then sold herself into slavery, and then by chance, found her family, she has been deliberately concealed, she originally planned to get her niece into the house, to be a concubine for the master, but I didn't expect Mrs. to be so jealous, she had to dispel the idea, who knows, her niece was ill-fated, and it didn't take long to become a widow, Zhou's mother saw that Mrs. did not regenerate, and is getting older, and began her own calculations, if the niece gave birth to the descendants of this Jiang Mansion, in the future, Even if the son doesn't recognize his mother, how can he give him food? At that time, her mother's family will no longer be so poor.

Mother Zhou brought her niece into the mansion under the repeated urging of Jiang Wang's family, she is tall, her niece is also tall, and her niece is still very white, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, she is not very beautiful among women, but if a man looks like this, it will be a big fascination.

Jiang Wang's family was really satisfied, and asked Zhou's mother to arrange people, clean up a small courtyard, and arrange people to go in.

"Madam, that slut outside, only because of her Lao Tzu's support, can live well, if only orphans and widows are left-"

"You go ahead and arrange it." Jiang Wang's Dao.

Zhou's mother followed her master carefully, she didn't speak, and it costs money to do things.

Jiang Wang sighed, her private room was not much, and after thinking for a long time, she pointed to an inconspicuous incense burner in the house: "Take this as one." ”

Zhou's mother only knew gold and silver, not antiques, and her steps were a little sluggish.

"If you don't have three hundred taels, just get it back for me, this money is enough, right?"

"Not so much, ma'am, I'll get the rest back."

Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead." ”

Zhou's mother got the silver and went straight to the county office, it turned out that Zhang Sanbao was her little brother, Zhang Sanbao could hook up with the maid here, and naturally Zhou's mother was cleverly arranged. There is no money at home, the younger brother's wife has a cold, and she is reluctant to spend money on a doctor, so she went like that, the younger brother guards an only son, and the life is very panicked.

Wen Jin asked Sun Yanping to inquire about the Jiang family, this boy is really a good player, he dressed himself up as a middle-aged woman, lived near the courtyard of several Jiang family people, and then tried to get along with those people, he felt from the idle conversation that Zhou's mother and Ren's mother, who was guarding the door, had an unusual relationship, and Ren's mother was Zhang Sanbao's concubine, Wen Han received Wen Jin's news, and asked Lu Can to transfer Zhang Sanbao out of prison and interrogate him strictly, only to know that Zhou's mother was Zhang Sanbao's sister.

Sun Yanping had a long talk with Zhou's mother through Ren's mother and gave her such an idea.

Zhang Sanbao got out of prison easily, and when he heard that he was asked to kill again, he had a headache, but his sister had already spent the money in order to redeem him, and he couldn't do it, so he couldn't do it, and he held it at home for two days, and Zhou's mother sent a message that his brother could solve the problem as long as he did this.

Zhang Sanbao was happy when he heard it, he didn't have to do it himself, and he said a few words of false accusation, but he still had no problem, so he trotted all the way to the yamen to find the head of the businessman.

"Lord Shang, I ran into that person again, and now I am sure that he is the one who bought the murderer."

"Wasn't you unsure at the time?" Shang Yunhu was very strange.

"I suddenly remembered that he had two black moles on the left side of his neck, one large and one small, and that day, I went to the dock to run errands, and I happened to pass by him, and I could see it very clearly."

Shang Yunhu was overjoyed and asked Zhang Sanbao to wait, and he ran to report to Lu Can.

Lu Can was also very happy, a person can paint his face black, and he can also stick a beard, but he will not think of covering up the mole on his neck, in order to make the villain surrender, the two also called Wen Han to discuss how to interrogate better. Jiang Congyang knew that Qian Xiangui was arrested, and he would definitely ask about it, relying only on Zhang Sanbao's correction might not be able to bring down the other party, they had to be cautious.

Wen Han listened to Zhang Sanbao's words, and was stunned for a moment, Qian Xiangui usually wears a stand-up collared Taoist robe, and the black mole on his neck, if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a collarless undershirt in summer, it was easy to see, how did Zhang Sanbao know? Thinking of Wen Jin's mysterious smile, Wen Han understood in his heart and said how to prove that Qian Xiangui was dead.

On this day, Qian Xiangui got up in the morning and walked to the shop, Jiang Congyang injected a sum of money into the shop, his business became bigger and bigger, his hands were rich, Qian Xiangui trembled again, in the morning of early summer, the weather was still very cool, he couldn't wait to put on the newly made poplin robe, on his wrist, hung a string of agate beads, shook his head and paced in all directions, looking arrogant and underbeaten.

There were two officials walking in front, Qian Xiangui couldn't help but feel furious when he saw staring at him, he forced himself to raise his head and chest, and kept hinting in his heart: "I did it secretly, and I will never be discovered." "It's a pity that I have repeated it several times, but to no avail.

Just because of the quick eyes, I can eat him.

"Qian is expensive first, come with me." As he spoke, he put the chain in his hand around his neck.

Qian Xiangui had already changed his name to Yin Guisheng, and as soon as he heard the other party call out his real name, he immediately couldn't get up, and was led away for a quarter of an hour before he eased up: "I was wronged-"

"If you are not wronged, when you get to the lobby, tell our master." While talking quickly, he knocked a stick on his leg, Qian Xiangui was in pain, and then he remembered that he ignored these people, so he had to walk obediently.

The doorkeeper saw that Qian Xiangui was arrested, and hurriedly reported to Shang Yunhu, Shang Yunhu told Wen Han again, and after a while, Lu Can was promoted to the court to try the case.

"Master, I've wronged—"

"Tell me, why did you change your name and surname and deceive other people's property?"

"It was Master Jiang who asked me to help take care of the store and take care of the women, it wasn't that I lied to him, it was he who asked me to do this."

Lu Can had already sent someone to inform Jiang Congyang, and sure enough, after a while, this Jiang Daren didn't even have time to change into his official uniform, so he came to the Yamen of Huyang County, and Shang Yunhu took him to listen to the trial in the ear room on the side.

Lu Can didn't entangle, and soon asked Zhang Sanbao to come up.

"Master, he was the one who paid for it to kill Qian Wenhan."

"I don't, I don't know you."

"Yin Guisheng, don't pretend, I was blackmailed by you at the time, I had murderous intentions, I secretly followed you once, and I also found your home near the dock."

"You talk nonsense!" Qian Xiangui was so frightened that his voice changed, and then, he puffed up his chest, in order to prevent being followed, he changed his clothes and headscarf in a public toilet halfway every time, and observed inside to make sure that no one was following before leaving.

Zhang Sanbao really followed, and he did lose it in that toilet, about this, he discussed it with Wen Han and Wen Jin.

"Do you hide in the toilet and think you'll get out? I asked my friend to follow up and see where you changed your clothes, Yin Guisheng, although you have a beard on your face, there are two black moles on your neck, one large and one small, this, but you can't cover it. ”

Qian Xianguise shrank for a moment, subconsciously touched his neck, and suddenly remembered something, he immediately became angry: "Lord Qingtian, he is framing me." ”

"Qian Xiangui, how do you prove that he is framing?"

"My two black moles only show in the summer, and they are blocked by the collar of the clothes in the autumn, how can he see them?"

"My friend saw it when you were changing clothes in the bathroom."

"You are talking nonsense, if there is someone in the toilet, I will honestly remain motionless, how can anyone see it......"

Seeing that the people up and down the lobby all cast disdainful looks, Qian Xiangui realized that he was anxious and said something wrong.

"Money is expensive first, do you recruit or not? Anyway, if someone corrects me, I can be punished. Lu Can smiled, "What's more, you just talked about autumn, how do you know that it happened in autumn?" ”

Qian Xiangui was already paralyzed on the ground, unable to speak.

When Jiang Congyang heard this, he was still a little confused, Shang Yunhu said again about Wenhan being bought for murder and almost dying: "Mr. Qian is the cousin and nephew of Lu Zhixian, but he didn't know him at the time, and he happened to let the old lady save him, and now he is catching a knife for the county magistrate." ”

Jiang Congyang is smaller than Lu Can's official rank, he is from the Governor's Mansion, belongs to the military position, and is not afraid of this, but the father of the outer room took the money he gave to buy murder, if he is investigated, he will not escape the involvement, the law of this era, it is important to sit together, and he has to splash dirty water if he has nothing to do, not to mention that the military position has been suppressed by the civilian profession, if Lu Can is impeached, it will be difficult for Jiang Congyang to escape, cold sweat is coming out of his face, and he just wants to wash himself away quickly.

Lu Can knew that Qian Xiangui was frightened, but he still used the excuse that he was stubborn and refused to confess, so he first let people beat him with ten boards, Qian Xiangui died in pain, and even pretended to be dizzy, Lu Can did not hesitate to let people pour a bucket of cold water on him, and beat him again, before continuing to let him confess the crime.

Qian Xiangui was already numb from pain, and wanted to quibble, Lu Can didn't say much, and asked him to put a clamp on him, Qian Xiangui's ten fingers were suddenly bloody, he was a soft bone, and as soon as the clamp stick went up, he cried and shouted to his mother that he was willing to confess, but Lu Can did not let the official stop, but let him talk like that.

In order to stop the torture as soon as possible, Qian Xiangui said quickly, but fortunately, the master's hand was also fast, and the pen was fast, and he quickly wrote a confession, let people take it, and draw a charge for Qian Xiangui.

Qian Xiangui did his best, but he didn't expect that his life would be suspended at this moment, he trembled and drew a charge, and couldn't help crying bitterly. Lu Can announced that the verdict would be pronounced again tomorrow, and he retired from the court.
