"Anyone who has some experience in growing flowers and plants knows that the hydrangea flower will change color when it blooms in different fields," Qian Chengli said, "that is, if the red hydrangea that has already bloomed is buried around the field with some iron tools, the flower will turn blue after a while." ”

"In my hydrangea garden, only a small piece is a blue hydrangea open, and the rest is red hydrangea." Qian Chengli said, "At that time, I didn't think much about it, I only thought that maybe it was the problem of the field itself. After the adults asked and left, I tossed and turned for a few days, and finally I couldn't hold back, and asked people to dig the hydrangea garden, and the result was ......"

……

A large pit was dug out of the originally neat flower bed, and although the things in the pit were covered with mud, the blood stains covered under the mud could not be covered by any amount of mud, and the traces left after the murder could be seen at a glance.

When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu followed Qian Chengli to the Qian family's flower field with their servants, they saw such a situation.

Thinking that when he dug up and saw such a device, Qian Chengli ordered someone to stop, and did not dare to move the instrument that was very likely to be a murder weapon, and directly came to Dali Temple to "kill relatives with righteousness".

Looking at the somewhat familiar utensils, Liu Yuan let out a "huh" and suddenly said: "Isn't this Liu Sanqing's stone-cutting tool?" ”

Bai Zhu nodded, recalled the situation when he first met Liu Sanqing, and nodded: "That's right!" ”

"Liu Sanqing has been making gambling stones for so many years, and no matter how carefully the stone-cutting equipment is, it can't be new, if it happens to be broken at that time, it is too coincidental to change the equipment. That day, when I went to Liu Sanqing with Lin Shaoqing for questioning, the stone-cutting tools I saw were too new, but the old ones were here. Speaking of this, Bai Zhu squatted down, looked at the stone-cutting tools in the flower field, nodded, and said, "Although it is old, the blade used to cut the stone is sharp, and I want to polish it often in the future, and then look at the blood stained on this instrument, it is indeed not a problem to use this thing to deal with Feng Tong's corpse." ”

"What about Qian Chengyi?" After saying this, Bai Zhu turned his head to look at Qian Chengli, who was pale, "When I came to visit that day, he was not at home, and now he has run away from home and has not returned?" ”

The mockery in the words can be heard by anyone, Qian Chengli's originally pale face turned a little paler, and he hurriedly copied his hand and saluted, and said: "Don't dare to hide it, my lord, Chengyi has never returned." ”

"After the adults left that day, I always felt that something was not quite right, so I sent someone to look for him. After inquiring for a long time, I learned that he was hired as a guard by Zhang Wulin, who opened the Four Treasures Shop, to help deliver the goods. Oh, by the way, that Wulin ......"

Bai Zhu raised his hand and made a gesture to interrupt Qian Chengli's words, and said, "We already know about this matter." ”

It's not so easy for Qian Chengli to pick himself out, these days, they have been sending people to watch the Qian family's every move, but Qian Chengli is not lying.

"Zhang Wulin and Qian Chengyi have delivered the goods for so many days and haven't come back?" Bai Zhu said, looking at Liu Yuan, who was squatting on the ground and staring at the stone-cutting tools in the flower pit, it seems that there are a lot less words today, usually Liu Yuan came to ask such words, and I don't know what he is thinking today.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to call "Liu Yuan" to remind him, he saw Liu Yuan, who was squatting on the ground, sighed, looked away from the stone-cutting tools in the flower garden, got up and said, "I haven't come back for so many days...... I'll take someone to the Zhang family's shop and ask about the situation! ”

When the search was made to the key point, the person was gone. In their experience, most of them were either killed or run away. The former is either a dead ghost or an accomplice in the know, and the latter is the real murderer. Either of these possibilities is not a good thing.

After Liu Yuan said that, he nodded at Bai Zhu and left with someone.

After Liu Yuan and the others left, Bai Zhufu turned his head to look at Qian Chengli in front of him: Compared with Qian Chengyi's reputation, Qian Chengli's brother has an excellent reputation.

Whether it is the Qian family's servants, neighbors, or regular customers who buy flowers, they all say that this Qian Chengli is a good person, and he can't find anything wrong. There is no shelf for people to treat people every day, and when you meet beggars on the road, you will give a helping hand whenever you have a little money on your body, and you are a kind-hearted person.

Throughout the year, Qian Chengli spent most of the year running around for his own flower and tree business.

Bai Zhu looked at the Qian family's mansion not far ahead: because it was a flower and tree business, it was naturally inseparable from a large number of fields, and the fields were all outside the city.

As soon as the Qian Mansion came out, it was a large village, and the simplicity of the village house was in stark contrast to the grandeur of the Qian family's house.

The house outside the city was owned by the ancestors of the Qian family, but no problems were found in the money.

Bai Zhu looked around and walked towards the outside of the flower field. When I walked out of the flower field, I saw more than a dozen pots of peony seedlings on the side of the road, and when the flower farmers carefully moved the peony seedlings onto the board car that transported the flowers, Bai Zhu was a little touched: the people of the time were good peonies, and a pot of precious peonies was expensive. There are a few pots of quite expensive ones in his house, and every time a distinguished guest comes to talk about something, he will move it to the hall, which can be regarded as saving face.

This flower and tree business looks at the daily running in the fields, dealing with the dirt, dirty, but can do well, and indeed earn money, after all, the rich and powerful cannot leave this town.

glanced at those peony seedlings, and then glanced at Qian Chengli behind him, leaving two errands who followed Qian Chengli, and Bai Zhucai left.

After all, Qian Chengyi was involved in Feng Tong's corpse, and Qian Chengli, as a brother, could not be removed so easily. Before the eucalyptus is over, it is naturally impossible to call Qian Chengli "disappear for no reason".

With such treatment, the left and right servants were followed by Su Fuhai, a tea merchant and Lu Yuanlin, a merchant who played with Wen, although there was no direct evidence at the moment, but the source of the large amount of money was unknown, which really gave Dali Temple an excuse to leave the messenger to watch over the whereabouts of the two of them.

Soon after returning to the Yamen of Dali Temple, Liu Yuan, who had taken a trip to Zhang's house, also returned with an errand officer.

As soon as he saw Bai Zhu, he said: "The people didn't come back, but they heard from the Zhang family's men and subordinates that Qian Chengyi and Zhang Wulin went out to deliver goods and goods." ”

"Early in the morning when Liu Sanqing was found dead, Zhang Wulin and Qian Chengyi went out to deliver goods for guests, and the account room in the shop counted the accounts and found that the four treasures of the Chinese room were not missing," Liu Yuan said, "There is only one thing missing." ”

Looking at Liu Yuan's solemn face, Bai Zhu was excited, and without waiting for Liu Yuan to speak, he said, "Could it be that inkstone?" ”

Liu Yuan nodded, looked at Bai Zhu for a pause, and said: "Zhang Wulin's wife and daughter didn't feel anything until I waited for the door, after all, the delivery was ten days and a half away, and there had been before. After listening to what I said, I counted the family's savings and found that there was a full 2,000 taels of silver tickets, and only his wife and Zhang Wulin knew where the silver tickets were placed. ”

Hearing this, Bai Zhu let out an "oh" and said, "So, Zhang Wulin and Qian Chengyi disappeared with the inkstone with two thousand taels of silver tickets under the guise of delivery?" ”

Liu Yuan said "um", thought about it, and said, "The silver ticket of two thousand taels...... I think it's very likely that the two of them took the initiative to run away. ”

"It's not strange that Qian Chengyi ran away, this Feng Tong's corpse is so big, I will find out about him sooner or later," Bai Zhu thought for a while and said, "This Zhang Wulin ran with him, but instead let himself jump in, as if he didn't recruit himself." ”

In this way, the eucalyptus can continue to push down.

"This eucalyptus, if Qian Chengyi killed Feng Tong's knife, then Zhang Wulin and Liu Sanqing are very likely to know, or even mastermind." Bai Zhu said, "In this case, Feng Tong's death is very likely to be because he broke the secret related to these two people, and the secret of Zhang and Liu should be related to the hanged Mao steward, the source of the money is unknown, Su Fuhai and Lu Yuanlin are the same, if they follow this line, ...... it."

"Bai Zhu." Bai Zhu, who was frowning and talking about eucalyptus, was unexpectedly interrupted by a voice.

Bai Zhu raised his head and glanced at Liu Yuan, who spoke up.

Liu Yuan looked at him and said, "Do you feel that something is wrong?" After a pause, he added, "When I look at the stone-cutting tool in the flowerbed today, I think that this eucalyptus is like an invisible hand leading me to look down." ”

"Qian Chengyi led out Zhang and Liu, and Zhang and Liu led out Steward Mao, and who should Steward Mao lead? It is said that we waited for Cha Yu to push down step by step, but Su and Lu, the two people who were supposed to be led out by Steward Mao, were pushed in front of the two of us in advance. Liu Yuan said, "It seems that I am afraid that if I wait a step too slowly, those two people will be killed, and it is as if I pushed these two people out in advance." ”

The weirdness that has been around since taking over this eucalyptus has finally found its source!

Bai Zhu shuddered suddenly when he heard this, and his back was chilled: "No wonder I always feel that this eucalyptus is very messy, this eucalyptus is ......."

It's not that they haven't encountered troublesome eucalyptus before, and there are not a few eucalyptus in that kind of eucalyptus, but it's really the first time they've encountered it like this.

"This eucalyptus...... It's time to refresh your head. Liu Yuan said, "And Lin Shaoqing, since taking over this eucalyptus, I always feel that he is a little different from the past." It is not uncommon to take over a few eucalyptus at the same time, how could Lin Shaoqing and others be the ones who dislike more eucalyptus, but in this eucalyptus, Lin Shaoqing is really a little abnormal. ”

It's so abnormal that one after another takes leave. It was Liu Sanqing who died, and Lin Shaoqing also came to the Yamen, so he only rushed to the scene of Liu Sanqing's death from the Hou Mansion to take a look, and then went home again.

Having said this, Bai Zhu already understood what Liu Yuan meant: "So...... Shall I wait to meet Lin Shaoqing? After a pause, there was a clue pointing to the eucalyptus that had been combed halfway to the eucalyptus, and said, "Take this with you!" ”
