They were looking at the food when the official came to report and said, "A suspicious person has been caught." ”

When Yin Jian heard this, he was very happy, he was simply overjoyed, and asked again and again: "Where is it?" Quick, arraignment, arraignment! ”

"Tell the master, the prisoner is in the scripture room. There are two brothers guarding there, don't worry, sir, the prisoner can't escape. The official said, full of anticipation, can't he get the fresh pork rewarded by Yin Jian?

"Okay, let's go. Quick, master, let's go and have a look. Yin Jian said.

"Wait, sir, it is estimated that we all went, except for you, sir, we all have to wait outside, it is better not to go, but the master will go alone." That's a good fit. Bu Huishu said.

"Not necessarily, master! Without further ado, let's go and hear if it is possible to solve the case immediately, and if so, we will not come in vain. Yin Jian said, pulling the master, taking three steps and making two steps, and rushed to the scripture room.

"Where are the murderers? Where are the murderers? Yin Jian asked hurriedly.

As soon as I entered the scripture room, I saw a big man standing, and there were officials standing on both sides, one left and one right, and his eyes were staring at the big man tightly, for fear that the big man would fly away with his wings.

"Tell my lord, the prisoner is here. He walked around the Wumiao, very suspicious, listened to the master's orders, as long as the people who came to the Wumiao, all controlled, we went to interrogate this person, this person saw that the situation was not good, he was going to slip away, and he was controlled by us, he may be a murderer. However, the specific situation needs to wait for the master to ask in person. The official said.

"Wronged, Lord Qingtian, Xiaomin didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone, I'm not a murderer, please Mingjian." The middle-aged man in custody said that his voice was pleading, like a child begging his father to give him candy.

"Not a murderer, what are you running? Bright and fair, don't run, as soon as you ask, you will be divided, talk nonsense, the wind and horses and cattle are not related, ask the east and answer the west, are you not intentional or deliberate? You are innocent, you have to stand the test, there is no need to dodge, sneaky, obscene. A servant said.

Bu Huishu saw that this official was a bit level, and it seemed that it was a pity to be a servant and could work in the diplomatic department.

"Master, Xiaomin is afraid of trouble, people say, Yamen lawsuits, not a good place, if you want to be a good person, don't cause lawsuits, bad people need to fight lawsuits." The suspect said.

"Less nonsense! Where are you from? What to do here? Yin Jian said.

"Xiaomin Xiangyang people, come to Wumiao to pay homage to General Wei Qing, because Xiaomin ancestors have fought with General Wei Qing. They sacrificed in exchange for the peaceful life they have now. ”

"After talking nonsense for a long time, what's your name?" Yin Jian asked.

"My name is Liang San."

"Why do you say you didn't kill anyone, do you know there are murders here?"

"Xiaomin not only knows about the murder here, but also knows some details." Liang San said.

"The details? That is, you are not a murderer, do you know who killed it? Yin Jian asked.

"That's right. There are many people here, so they still ask someone to avoid it, and Xiaomin can only tell the master about this case alone. Liang Sandao.

Yin Jian suddenly thought of what Bu Huishu had said when he came just now, and glanced at his master, Bu Huishu didn't show any expression, just listened to Yin Jian's orders.

"Okay, let's get out." Yin Jian said, waved his hand to everyone, everyone understood the meaning, and all withdrew from the scripture room. Only Yin Jian and Liang San were left inside.

"Now it's just you and me, can you say? Liang San, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, and you must not frame good people. You don't have to be afraid, what you know, just say anything, don't hide it, don't scruple about anything, the official is in charge for you, you try to rest assured! Yin Jian said.

Liang San didn't answer, smiled, and said, "Wait, master, don't be impatient, please allow Xiaomin to take a look, just come when you go." ”

"Go ahead! Hmph, still not worried?! Yin Jian sneered.

Liang San went to close the door, and before closing the door, he looked left and right to see if anyone was eavesdropping in the corridor. After finding that there was no one, he came back, closed the door, and was not at ease, opened the door again, probed out, and looked left and right, there was indeed no one, so he relieved himself, closed the door completely, and then walked in front of Yin Jian and said:

"Sir, this case is like this. Xiaomin likes General Wei Qing very much and often comes to the Wumiao to worship. Every day is to worship in the afternoon, I don't think about it, yesterday at noon, I drank a little more wine, after worshipping the general, I was too strong to drink, I couldn't walk, and I fell asleep in the inconspicuous corner of the martial temple. ”

"Really? And then what? Yin Jian asked.

As soon as Yin Jian heard him say this, he began to suspect him, that is, Liang San was the murderer, which was an intuitive feeling. However, it is necessary to convince people with reason and sufficient evidence.

Then, at midnight this morning, when the sun had just risen, Xiao Min found a man kneeling on the ground in front of the statue of General Wei Qing. This person has words in his mouth, and he has said a lot of repetitive words, which roughly means praying for the blessing of General Wei Qing, and it sounds like his ears are calloused. ”

"And then?" Yin Jian asked.

Then, as if he was drunk, he kept chattering, and the people were impatient to listen. This man is a well-known gentleman, who spends his days idle. Come to ask General Wei Qing, is it wrong? Liang San said with a smile.

"It's Brother Swinger, now that the person is dead, you can't just say it. The so-called dead are great. Be respectful of the deceased. Yin Jian said.

"Oh yes, I forgot that. The deceased Xiaomin also knew that he was Hu Yanping's seventh son, and it is said that he was born to Hu Yanping's seventh wife. The deceased is the art of extermination, and he does not learn the art of non-art. Liang San said.

"You're here again? Will you remember it if you get in the mouth? Yin Jian said.

"Damn it, pop pop!" Liang Sanyan said, slapped himself a few times, it was like opening the bow left and right, and he hit it really.

This action made Yin Jian directly confused, and he didn't know what to do.

"You say the point."

"Yes, Xiaomin found that Hu Yanshu was praying in front of the statue of General Wei Qing, and he was sighing, it turned out that the children of the gentlemen also needed the blessing of the gods, which really paid Xiaomin's cognition."

"Don't be emotional! Talk about the point. Who killed Huyanju? It's really urgent. ”

Xiaomin was strange, suddenly rushed in from outside the door, light as a swallow walking like flying, said that it was too late, that was fast, pulled out a knife and gave Huyanshu a through knife, Huyanshu screamed, and fell to the ground and died, scared Xiaomin's soul scattered, his legs and feet were soft and made a mess of mud, unable to move half a step, and wanted to call someone for help, there was no one near here for more than ten miles, and he couldn't hear it. So, the villain hid. After the murderer committed the crime, he quickly left the martial temple. ”

"Liang San, can you see the murderer's face clearly?"

"I didn't see it clearly. I remember that the murderer was masked, his mouth and nose were covered, and only his eyes were exposed, so that he could see the road under his feet. Liang San said.

"Remember, what other characteristics does the murderer have?"

"Oh, by the way, I remember that the murderer had no hair on the top of his head, it was light, reflective, shiny, and this one made a deep impression on me! Tall! Agile, it seems that he is a person who often practices martial arts. Liang Sanyan said, when he spoke, he peeked at Yin Jian's reaction, and adjusted the way he spoke at any time, as well as the content of his speech. He was already convinced that Yin Jian believed what he said.

Liang San saw that Yin Jian already trusted him, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue him, saying, "Master, don't hide it, the monks here are suspicious." ”

"Why?"

"The monk of this martial temple, Yuankong, is actually a fellow villager of Xiaomin. Xiaomin is from Hongdong County, Shanxi, and the monk Yuankong used to be a monk in the Guandi Temple. Later, in order to escape the war, he went to the boundary of Xiangyang County. So are the small people. Xiaomin and Yuankong have known each other since childhood. Liang San said.

"Your accents are very different!" Yin Jian said.

"That's right, sir, we have been together since childhood, and then separated, the world is from the north and the south, and the experiences are different, and there are differences in accents. However, sir, if you want to talk about changes, it is still the Yuankong that has changed a lot. ”

"Why?"

"Yuankong is everywhere, and he doesn't worry about eating and drinking, unlike Xiaomin, who eats the last meal but doesn't have the next meal."

"Nonsense! In a peaceful and prosperous world, it is nonsense! You have hands and feet, how can you not eat? Those who starve to death are lazy people, and diligent people live a rich life, just like Yuankong, as long as he goes out to make a fortune, he will have something to eat, and he still grows vegetables, and he can't finish the dishes, and he can give them away. It's no problem for him to feed himself, if he's lazy, the sky is not pitiful, and it's a dead end. Don't be jealous, don't be resentful, do more good, do more good, accumulate more virtue, have a good heart, do good deeds naturally, and be the same with your heart and mouth, so that you can convince others. You said that you saw that Yuankong was not going well, Yuankong did not offend you, you said that Yuankong is your fellow countryman, can you confront him face to face? Yin Jian said.

"Master, Xiaomin to tell the truth, this bald head and masked, nine times out of ten it is Yuankong, but it can't be conclusively determined, it needs to be judged by the master with his own wisdom and wisdom, Xiaomin can only help here, can't let go of a bad person, and can't wronged a good person, this is the way of the old man of Qingtian. Xiaomin expects the criminals to be arrested and severely punished. Xiao Minzhi's suggestion, I hope the master will consider it more. Liang San said.

"What advice?"

"It is presumed that it is done by Yuankong. The people fled the place out of fear, and later suffered from a troubled conscience. Then he went back to see what was going on, to see if he could help and share the worries of the old man. When I arrived here, I was looking at whether I should come or not, and I pondered for a long time, but I couldn't make up my mind, and I was worried that I would be nosy, and I was afraid that stealing chickens and rice would not make up my mind, and I was in a dilemma, and I was found by the officials, so I was caught alive. In fact, Xiao Min really came to help the master, if he didn't come back, Xiao Min really felt sorry for the local parents, so he came to the Wu Temple regardless of his face. I also hope that the lord will forgive Xiaomin for not reporting his knowledge, not because he didn't report it, but he was worried that the master would indiscriminately put Xiaomin in prison for mistrial and misjudgment, so Xiaomin couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Liang San said.

"I know. You're so well-intentioned. Didn't you come back and see if you could find the real culprit, right? According to many years of criminal investigation experience, after the murderer commits the crime, the more experienced he is, the more he must come back to see what is going on, the real murderer is not in a hurry to escape, if he escapes, he will be exposed, or come to the crime place to see how it is relieved. Liang San, whether you are the real murderer or not remains to be investigated, but this official still admires your courage. Let's not talk about who the real murderer is, even if the real murderer is in front of the official, the official can't see it. Even if you see it, there is no evidence, and you can't convict. Still have to wait and see. Good things don't take from the busy, right? Yin Jian said.

"Xiaomin just reported according to the truth, speaking of Xiaomin, he is actually not very smart, the smart one has already run away, and he will not be caught here. I don't know which master came up with the idea, all living people, as long as they get here, they only enter and don't leave. This master is really amazing! Xiaomin admires and admires. It should be explained that Xiaomin does not dare to draw conclusions without authorization, if he wants to say that the real murderer, Xiaomin only suspects, and there is no evidence, besides, the villain looks at people after being drunk, and he is not very clear. For Yuankong, Xiaomin is only suspicious, and there is no actual evidence. It's just that the evidence that Xiaomin knows is provided to the master, and the master is asked to check it clearly. Liang San said.

"Are you finished?" Yin Jian asked.

"Also, master, if the master doesn't believe it and suspects Xiaomin, then, ask the master to put Xiaomin on death row now, and ask for beheading immediately." Liang San added.

"There's no need for the time being, if you don't have anything to say, you can let the master and Shuli come in, how about this official asking you to confront Yuankong in person?" Yin Jian said.

When Liang San heard this, he was shocked, but he immediately calmed down and said unhurriedly: "Of course, face to face, three gongs and six drums, just say it clearly." ”

"Someone!"

"Master, what do you command?"

As soon as Yin Jian shouted, two officials immediately came in outside the door and came in to ask questions.

"Please come in, Master Shuli and Yuan Kong. You are waiting outside the door. Yin Jian commanded.

The two took the order and left, and after a while, the three came in, and the official waited at the door.

"Yuankong, do you know this person?" Yin Jian asked.

Liang San was startled, and immediately turned his head to the side, avoiding Yuankong's direct gaze, Yuankong looked left and right, couldn't understand, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, master, I haven't seen this person!" ”

Liang San immediately said: "Master, Hugh listens to his nonsense, this kid is ungrateful, when he was a child, he stole the hen laid by his neighbor Aunt Wang, and burned it in the field, and now he doesn't admit it, and he doesn't recognize the people." Outrageous! ”

"Yuankong, take a closer look, do you know this person?" Yin Jian asked, he ignored Liang San.

Liang San still wanted to use strong words, but before Yuankong could speak, Yin Jian said angrily: "Bold Liang San, the official didn't ask you, if you say more, pull it out and play forty boards." ”

Liang San saw this formation, obviously about to be beaten, immediately shut his mouth, did not dare to squeak, he knew very well that Yin Jian never fell to the ground when he spoke, if he shouted and beaten, it would really hurt. Yin Jian's prestige is far and wide, and the nearby Baili Ninety-nine Townships know him, he can't be sloppy, no one's flesh is made of steel, and he can't withstand hitting wooden boards, those wooden planks are not ordinary wooden boards, and they are strong and close to the back and hips.
