"There are really two small tooth holes!" Uncle Wang took a closer look, his face was slightly embarrassed, "I didn't examine it carefully, who would have thought that wounds could be found on these feet full of calluses and blisters." ”

"Look at this wound, it looks like it was bitten by a snake!" Bao Liuwen shook her head and said.

"That's right, it's the snake bite. After these short-term workers were poisoned by snakes, they first became partially numb, then their whole bodies turned purple, and finally they died of exhaustion. Bao Qing said.

"Hey, how do you know it's snake venom and not poisoned?" Bao Liuwen looked at Bao Qing suspiciously.

"Actually, there are two methods, first, the most direct way is to dissect the corpse. Uncle Wang, you can make a small incision in the neck of these short-term workers, and you will find that the throat has not turned purple-black. That's because they weren't poisoned when they ate or drank. Eating and drinking poisoning will leave a little toxin in the throat, which will turn purple-black. Bao Qing said.

"What? Dissect? You mean cut open the corpse! Uncle Wang was obviously a little surprised.

Bao Liuwen felt very curious, and hurriedly said, "That's right! I didn't think of the second way. ”

"The second way is to look at the motive for the killing. If you think about it, poisoning someone is obviously premeditated homicide, which is murder. The poisoner should have a strong conflict with the victim. In layman's terms, it's just no good, who is going to kill? Vendetta is not quite like it, five short-term workers were killed before and after, and no one will have a grudge against five people at the same time. For money, it's not like a short-term job, if you have money, where will you run out to do a short-term job. Bao Qing saw that Bao Liuwen was a little uncomfortable with her way of expression, and hurriedly changed her expression.

Bao Liuwen nodded and hurriedly said yes.

Bao Qing smiled, thinking to himself, in fact, these are all speculations. Of course, it is not excluded that those who are hostile to the group of short-term workers have the motive to commit the crime. If so, the case would be much more complicated. But that's enough to fool them, at least to get the bounty in.

"Bao Xiucai, do you mean to say that these people were all bitten to death by poisonous snakes? Didn't you poison her? Bao Liuwen asked.

"Yes, they came out to work, and they didn't even wear straw sandals. At the turn of spring and summer, poisonous snakes are often seen. In addition, they are on the road early in the morning, and it is the time when the poisonous snakes come out to feed. Bao Qing explained.

"In this way, you can send a list to inform the whole city that the death of these five people was not poisoned, but bitten to death by poisonous snakes. Hey, it's finally time to make a difference, and the whole city is panicking. "Bao Zhixian seems to have a big idea.

"It's not over yet, Master Bao Qingtian!" Bao Qing said.

Bao Liuwen and Uncle Wang and a group of officials looked at Bao Qing a little strangely, what else did they have to say.

"Aftermath! First, a notice should be issued to inform the people who come to the city to try not to rush early in the morning. The second is to organize people to patrol the area around the official road and catch snakes. The third is to inform the wealthy households in the city that in the future, foreign short-term workers will not be required to take off their shoes when they enter the house to work, otherwise they will be severely punished. Finally, these deceased short-term workers will be compensated accordingly, and donations can be made! They are too bitter. Bao Qing said a lot, and everyone looked at Bao Qing in surprise.

"Bao Xiucai! You've changed too much, right? Your advice is so appropriate, I really can't see that you are still the same nerd Bao Qing as before. Bao Zhixian was a little surprised.

Bao Qing smiled, and then said: "My bounty is two hundred yuan, and I will donate twenty yuan to help the families of those dead short-term workers." You can donate some anyway. ”

"Good! Brother Bao is good. I also donate 20 yuan, but I asked my dad to donate for me! Bao Liuwen said excitedly.

Seeing that they were dragged into the water, the group of officials was also helpless, so they had to take out the money one after another.

Bao Qing walked out of the yamen with one hundred and eighty pieces of money. Zhu Daniu, who was waiting on the side, had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he saw Bao Qing coming out, he hurriedly went up.

"Brother Bao! How is it? Zhu Daniu asked.

Bao Qing patted the money bag on his waist and said, "The money is here." Let's go, go buy some food and drinks, and let's go back to Xiaohe Village. ”

After Bao Qing left, Bao Zhixian sat on a chair in the living room, and Bao Liuwen stood beside him.

"That nerd really took advantage of you today? Got your hands and feet? Bao Hong asked Bao Liuwen.

Bao Liuwen's face turned red, and she said shyly: "I didn't move my hands and feet, Brother Bao accidentally bumped into me." ”

"Why did you change from a silver thief pervert to a big brother Bao so quickly. Daughter, let me tell you, this Bao Qing is a nerd, not only cowardly, but also a broken talent, how can he be worthy of my daughter. Bao Hong said.

Bao Liuwen stomped her feet when she heard this: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!" Besides, aren't you also a showman? You can still donate an official to sit. ”

"How can he compare with your father, you dead girl, I see that your eyes have changed when you look at him today, don't you just solve the case? It's just a coincidence, don't admire him so much. Hey, what a woman! ”

"Daddy! I don't want to talk to you anymore. Bao Liuwen turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop! Don't think about it. To tell you the truth, that Bao Qing is the son-in-law of Lord Zhizhou, and he has a marriage contract with your good sister Dong Yanran. Think about it yourself. Dead girl, don't think your daddy is dizzy. I think today you look at him a little wrong. ”

"What? Have a marriage contract with Sister Yanran? Then why did Sister Yanran say that he was rude last time! ”

"You girl, don't you understand? The daughter of Zhizhou dislikes Bao Qing. Forget it, I'll tell you! lest it be bad for you to inquire around. Bao Hong said.

As soon as Bao Liuwen heard that it was about the marriage contract between Bao Qing and Dong Yanran, she immediately sat down under Bao Hong and listened carefully.

"In the past, Bao Qing's family was still rich, but Lord Dong of Zhizhou was still a poor talent who was studying, and his family was poor. Bao Qing's father and mother are righteous and famous, and often help scholars. That Dong Guangxiao can have today, and it can be regarded as a credit to Bao Qing's father, until Dong Guangxiao became an official, all the expenses of the Dong family were funded by Bao Qing's father. The relationship between the two families is very good, so they have already married a baby parent. Bao Zhixian said.

Bao Liuwen was taken aback when she heard it, she didn't expect that there would be such a story in the previous generation.

Bao Zhixian seemed to remember a lot of things, thought about it and said: "Later, the Bao family had an accident and fell into ruin. In the end, it is like this, Dong Guangxiao is now a state official, and his daughter Dong Yanran has no shortage of suitors around her, either the sons of colleagues and bosses, or the children of some wealthy businessmen. Of course, Dong Guangxiao doesn't want his daughter to marry Bao Qing, so many things are hidden like this, but as long as Bao Qing has a marriage certificate, he is not afraid that he Dong Guangxiao will deny it. This is why last time Bao Qing teased Dong Yanran, your father did not embarrass Bao Qing. I can't look at the guy surnamed Dong, who has a pretending face. ”

Bao Liuwen held her head with one hand and tilted her neck, looking thoughtful. I really didn't expect that this Bao Qing and the Dong family would still have these stories. And at that time, he blindly scolded Bao Qing for being a cheap pervert, and now I think about it, the nerd is still pitiful.

Looking at his daughter like this, Bao Hong said to Bao Liuwen earnestly: "Xiaowen, sometimes my father really hopes that you can find someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life. Your mother left early, and my father is just a daughter like you, and our family doesn't care about identity and money. You know? Since my father made this county order, I regret it a lot, the officialdom is too dark, and you can't get out, so your father has to pretend to be confused, just looking forward to finishing this term, returning to his hometown, and spending his old age in peace. ”

"Dad, why do you think that nerd seems to be rich all of a sudden?" Bao Liuwen was obviously absent-minded, afraid that all her thoughts were on Bao Qing.

"Who knows, it's really stupid to hear that the unclean house in the east of the city was also bought by him."

"Ahh Then why didn't anyone remind him! Bao Liuwen was anxious for Bao Qing, and couldn't help blushing a little, what are you doing?

People are also strange that just one thing can change a person's perception. And just a chance collision can create a spark. Bao Liuwen's heart is full at the moment, she often thinks of Bao Qing's collision with herself, and she can't help but cover her chest with both hands, and smile, maybe she doesn't feel it.

Bao Liuwen went to look for Bao Qing early the next morning, but she didn't find it, and no one in the big house answered. When it was almost noon, Bao Liuwen came again, and she sat in front of the gate and waited for a long time. Finally waited for Bao Qing.
