When he arrived at the county office, Liu Paner asked people to send a paper. The official knew Liu Paner, asked Liu Paner to sit down, and immediately went to inform Lord Liu.

As soon as Lord Liu heard that it was Liu Pan'er who was coming, he immediately came over, "Madam, I have already read the paper, and then I will go through the motions and record it first." After that, I will send someone who is good at interrogation to interrogate me, and I will definitely interrogate the accomplices of the traffickers. ”

Liu Pan'er stood up and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Liu." ”

Lord Liu hurriedly returned the salute, he was only a seventh-rank official, and he should not be ordered to salute him by the fifth-grade lady, "Madam, don't be polite." This is also what this official should do. ”

The interrogation will not be completed for a while.

Liu Paner said goodbye and came directly to the shop that was sold yesterday.

"Sanmao, Simao, you two have learned to read, and you have also studied for a while in the cloth village in the town. From today onwards, you will be running errands with Shopkeeper Li. Liu Paner confessed that Sanmao and Simao were her servants and signed a living deed with the family, and she was kind to the two brothers, and these two boys would also be loyal to her.

"Yes, ma'am, we must do a good job." Sanmao said with a smile, when they were in the county seat before, they were little beggars, but now half a year has passed, and they have become Mrs. Derui's servants, they are well fed, well dressed, and have decent errands, and they are grateful.

Liu Pan'er nodded and smiled: "Take a good look at our shop, I won't treat you badly." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Sanmao thanks, and looks forward to the future work.

Li Cheng saw that there were two helpers who could clean up the shop faster, and assured Liu Paner that the counter and shelves would be ready in three days and sent over.

"Madam, when do you think it will open?" Li Cheng asked, he couldn't wait to be the shopkeeper.

He must run the business well and impress the shopkeeper Wang and his brother-in-law.

Holding his breath, Li Cheng worked harder.

Liu Pan'er saw that Li Cheng was doing things in an orderly manner, so she was relieved to hand it over to him.

Before leaving, the leopard explained to Sanmao and Simao, "You two must study more in the county, have a bright heart, sell goods to our wife, and collect our family's things." ”

Simao patted his chest and hurriedly promised, "Brother Leopard, don't worry." Without Madame, we would not be where we are now. Although we are still young, we can take inventory, settle accounts, and greet business, live in the shop at night, watch the things in our warehouse, and ensure that the task is completed. ”

Sanmao also smiled and said: "We used to be in the market, we didn't have a heart, and we can't live now, and Mrs. has taught us so much, and if we don't do it well, we will be stupid." ”

"It's good that you two can figure it out, do things well, and Madame won't treat you badly." The leopard whispered, "Don't get into conflict with others, be patient." If you can't bear it, you have to bear it, and then tell Madame. You know? ”

The most taboo thing in doing business is to quarrel with customers, which not only affects business, but also affects reputation.

"Yes, Brother Leopard." Sanmao and Simao should get down, stand at the door in person, watch the leopard brother, drive the carriage, and leave with his wife.

Liu Paner didn't know that not long after the treacherous old man was sent to the county prison, he bled to death.

The people below didn't dare to hide it, so they hurriedly reported it to Lord Liu.

Liu Xianling was stunned for a moment, "Now that the traffickers are so powerful, I haven't interrogated them yet, and the prisoners have been killed?" ”

The master on the side is surnamed Xu, and he is a showman, and after repeatedly missing the game, he voted to the Liu family through his relationship and became the county commander of Lord Liu.

Master Xu frowned, "My lord, I don't think this is an ordinary human trafficker. If it is an ordinary human trafficker, after the accomplice is caught, the rest of the people have already run away, how can they have the courage to buy people to kill them? Aren't you afraid of getting caught? ”

Master Liu also gradually calmed down, and felt that what Master Xu said made sense, "Yes, you can't infer it by common sense." We have also received reports from officials before, and most of them are children and girls, and there are very few men, especially young people over fifteen years old. Master Xu, do you think where you need these young adults, and they still have the ability to kill people and kill people? ”

Master Xu's eyes flickered, then he took the lid of the teacup in front of him, dipped his fingers in some tea, and wrote on the table: "Xishan Silver Mine." ”

Lord Liu gasped, and his heart beat wildly. Xishan Silver Mine, that is the industry of King Chen. When the first emperor was still there, he was quite fond of this younger brother, and his fief was in Xishan County, Xunyang Prefecture. The silver mine is located in Xishan County.

"Then this can't be checked?" Lord Liu was apprehensive and looked at Master Xu.

Master Xu nodded, "I can't check anymore, King Chen is powerful in Xunyang Mansion, and most of the silver mined will be handed over to Your Majesty to express sincerity." If you offend King Chen, you may offend Your Majesty. My lord, Mrs. Drey's heart is kind-hearted and quite upright, she only thinks of it as a human trafficker, and she doesn't know about King Chen and the Xishan Silver Mine. You'll need to send someone to warn Lady Drey! ”

Lord Liu thought so, "King Chen is powerful, and it's not easy to mess with." Mrs. Drey's heart is kind-hearted, and she has a great talent in agriculture, so we have to protect Mrs. Drew. Master Xu, on the pretext of checking about the double cropping rice breeding, you went to Jixiang Town for me, and then explained the situation to Mrs. Derui in private. This matter cannot be investigated deeply, so the old man commits suicide in fear of sin, and the matter ends here. If you continue to investigate, even if you can save the black yarn hat, you can't save your life. ”

Master Xu responded, "Yes, my lord." ”

Master Xu was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Lord Liu again, "Don't go today, let's go over early tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be too conspicuous." ”

"My lord, that's right." Master Xu should go down.

Lord Liu's side closed the case as a criminal who committed suicide in fear of crime, and did not dare to investigate deeply.

Although he also wanted to check, he was not capable enough, so he had to give up.

If you insist on checking, maybe your head will be cut off in the middle of the night!

The next day, Master Xu received the official duties given by the county magistrate, took a carriage to Jixiang Town, and also brought Lord Liu's verdict.

When Liu Paner saw the four words "suicide in fear of crime" written on the verdict, she was skeptical, "Master Xu, tell me the truth, did that old man really commit suicide?" ”

Seeing that there were other people in the hall, Master Xu looked at it and did not speak.

Liu Pan'er said to Sister Mao'er: "Mao'er, you go out first, keep watch in the yard, and don't approach anyone." ”

"Yes, ma'am." The cats went out and stood outside, not allowing anyone to come near the parlor.

Liu Pan'er looked at Master Xu and asked modestly, "How did that old man die?" ”

Master Xu lowered his voice and said, "I was poisoned." ”

"Then didn't Lord Liu let people continue to investigate?" Liu Paner asked, "Who bought people to poison the old man of the traffickers?" ”
