"This Liu Xiucai is by no means committing suicide."

Zhang Yuan strode into the public hall from the outside and said in a deep voice.

Shao Yin and Gong Cao of Jingzhao Mansion in the public hall were sitting a little tiredly, just sending away the people of the Liu family.

"Of course not." Gong Cao said, "You didn't see the momentum of the Liu family just now. ”

He snorted twice.

"It's so powerful in the capital, and it's conceivable in Jicheng, how can the son of such a powerful family commit suicide?"

Even if he is really guilty, he will not take it seriously, let alone live in the world with self-blame and shamelessness, if that is the case, the powerful will have to cut off their children and grandchildren.

"Lao Zhang, if you go to see Fu Yin now, you can see if Luo Changshi has a crooked mouth." Shao Yin squeezed his eyebrows and said.

It is rumored that Luo Changshi is a crooked mouth, but he doesn't speak every day and has a straight face, but once he is emotional, he can't hide it.

At this time, Luo Changshou was arguing with Fu Yin to catch the murderer.

Zhang Yuan was not interested in this kind of pulling of civil officials, and said: "I have already seen the corpse, and there is no trace of his killing, so can the Liu family say that he has any enemies?" ”

Whether it is the on-site investigation or the examination of the corpse, it is shown that it was Liu Xiucai who drank by himself, grieved, picked up a pen and wrote, then took off his belt, stepped on a stool, and hanged himself on the beam of the house.

However, Liu Xiucai by no means committed suicide, Zhang Yuan has seen a lot of death scenes, and as soon as he walked into this scene, it seemed that the murderer was telling him, look, I killed someone.

Gong Cao sighed: "Liu Xiu in the mouth of the Liu family is a noble person, ignoring mundane things, being bold and generous in interacting with people, and has the title of Liu Mengwei." ”

Friendship with people is bold and generous, sometimes it depends on who you are with, for some people, what he sees in his eyes is a person, and what he can't see in his eyes is not a person, Zhang Yuan frowned and said: "What is written in the confession is true, right?" ”

"That's going to be found out when I go to Jeseong for inspection." Gong Cao said, looking at Zhang Yuan, "What? Do you suspect that it is the revenge of the victims? ”

Shao Yin waved his hand: "Impossible." He pointed to the confession on the table, "According to what is said above, the tenant has only one wife and a young daughter, and the tenant is dead, and the wife and daughter are in prison, and it is not certain whether they can live in prison, how can they run out and go all the way to kill people?" ”

"Even if it's buying murder." Gong Cao also became interested, and stretched out his empty hands, "What money does the wife and daughter have to buy?" ”

Yes, Zhang Yuan thought, this murderer is so powerful, the people are killed quietly in broad daylight in the downtown of Beijing, and the price is definitely not cheap.

......

......

Because they didn't sell their game, they didn't have the money to buy more rice, and they didn't have the shame to ask the villagers to help carry the wood.

The pheasant didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.

She sat on the small bed, which was made of bamboo, and although there was no ornamentation and carving, it was simple and lovely, and it was very comfortable to sleep on, no worse than the bed that she slept on at home that was worth three wild boars.

The Lu family.

The pheasant leaned on the edge of the bed and sighed.

Outside there were footsteps, and the barking of a skinny donkey.

The pheasant got busy and opened the door of the hall, and now she slept alone on this side of the hall, and the young lady was in the next room, because there were too many tools stacked, and the young lady asked her to sleep separately.

In the morning mist, Qixing was standing in the yard dragging two branches in one hand and a bundle of cattails in the other, and the thin donkey was barking to her happily.

"Miss—" shouted the pheasant, "you went to carry the wood yourself?" ”

Saying that, her eyes were red, so much wood, heavier than a wild boar, because there was no return, Miss didn't want to ask for help, so she could only work hard by herself.

However, if you can't move it once, you can move it many times.

The pheasant clenched his fist.

"I'm going to move."

Qixing looked at the wonderful changes in the mood on the maid's face, and smiled: "I didn't move the wood to build the house, so much is too slow for us to move." She pointed to two branches, "I'm just using it to make a little thing." ”

The pheasant sighed, and the spirit of trying to cheer up was sluggish, alas, it was too slow to rely on the two of them.

"Also, I'm going to go into the city again today."

Hearing this, the pheasant raised his head again, nervous, yesterday's prey is still there, do you want to try it again? Going to another restaurant? Or go to the street market?

"It's not about selling prey." Seven Stars said, "I don't just have prey to sell. ”

She said, gesturing inside.

"You see I'm a carpenter."

The pheasant looked back and saw that the room was not as empty as before, except for her small bed, there were square tables, chairs, small tables, and even a flower stand, with a wooden vase and dried flowers dried by the young lady.....

At first, the pheasant really didn't expect that the strange tools that the young lady bought back could conjure so many things.

Although they are all uncarved and painted, they look a little light and funny, but they are no worse than those furniture of the Lu family.

So....

"I'm going to check out the workshop we went to last time."

The pheasant retracted his gaze, cheering that he didn't find a new life, and his brows were still furrowed: "Miss, but that Ning Twenty-Four Lang will definitely embarrass us." ”

Ning Shishilang was instructed by the Lu family, not only to prevent them from selling their prey, but to prevent them from having a way to live.

No matter what they do, they will be troubled.

Yesterday was the Shunde Building, and today you can make a craftsman workshop.

Qixing sighed: "No, the things I sold this time are very expensive, if the craftsman workshop takes a fancy to it, he will not be afraid of Ning Twenty-four's threat." ”

Expensive? Businessmen are heavy on profits, and if they are really valuable, they can't care about the face of any son.

Now for the pheasant, the young lady's hands are so skillful that she can't guess.

What kind of delicate thing is this?

The pheasant suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What is it?" ”

Qixing pulled out a handful of grass and handed it to the thin donkey circling around to chew and play, while the rest walked to the side and sat down.

"Straw sandals." She said.

……

……

"Childe-"

The two little guys ran into the flower hall in a hurry.

"The two little maids are coming into the city again."

Ning Twenty-four Lang, who was lying on the lap of the beautiful maid and eating pears, snorted: "These two little maids are quite eyeless!" ”

He sat up as he spoke.

"Was it that I was too polite yesterday?"

The two little guys nodded again and again: "Yes, Childe, you were so gentle yesterday, not fierce at all." ”

Ning Shishilang smiled, raised his hand and touched the face of the beautiful maid: "No way, I am so gentle, son." ”

"Childe." Mei Jiaojiao smiled, "Don't worry, those two maids are stupid and don't understand, Shunde Lou understands very well, knows that the son can't be provoked, and he will close the door to the two maids, and the son doesn't need to come forward in person, and the son will go in person, but it gives them face." ”

Also, Ning Twenty-four never did things for others, he went to the restaurant to make a fuss in person, and deliberately left someone to watch at the city gate, so he knew the movements of the little maid at the first time.

Next, if he wants to come forward in everything, it will be too much to promote these two little maids.

"Huang Gongzi and I didn't give face so much to rob the Oiran." Ning Twenty-four Lang snorted and said to the two little guys, "Just keep an eye on it, no matter which one she wants to sell to, even if it's the ordinary people on the street, drive me away." ”

The two little guys replied.

"But, Childe." One of the servants hesitated and said, "They don't seem to have brought any prey." ”

"Yes, yes." The other guy also nodded, "And they didn't go to Shunde Building, they went to Dongshi." ”
