Chapter 407: Finding a Replacement for the Dead Ghost
And when they came back, Xi Yu didn't ask about it again.
Probably forgetting about it, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Zhao Yun finally arrived at Long Wei.
He immediately saw the county order of Longwei County.
When the county magistrate knew his identity, he was startled and quickly knelt down to him.
And the master next to him didn't expect that the dead person was actually Xi Yu's father-in-law.
Zhao Yun said that he must close the case within two days, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
The county magistrate hurriedly agreed, and let Zhao Yun rest again.
Once you have the first result, be sure to report it to him.
After Zhao Yun was settled, the county magistrate asked the master, "How is this good?" This case is very tricky, and after all, it has been many days. ”
The master pondered for a while, and said, "If it really doesn't work, find a substitute for the dead ghost, in short, just give Zhao Yun an explanation." ”
"Master, is this possible? If they are offended, they will be held accountable in the future......"
"Sir, but now we don't have a better way."
The county magistrate thought about it, and it seemed that he had to do the only way, so he hurriedly ordered someone to go to the innkeeper and call him.
Soon, the innkeeper arrived.
The prefectural order told the innkeeper to sit down and drink tea with him.
The boss felt panicked.
"Master, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"I heard in this county that you have a wife and a concubine in your family. And there is also a young son who is not in good health all year round. ”
The owner felt taken aback.
Hey, how could the county order know about this?
"Back to the master, I really can't imagine that the master even knows about the villain."
The county magistrate looked at the master.
The master quickly took out a baggage, and then opened the baggage.
Many currencies shimmered in gold in front of the innkeeper.
"I heard that your youngest son spends a lot of money on medicine every year, so this is a reward from this master, and I hope you must accept it."
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
The innkeeper knows that no one is good to him for no reason, and people must do it for a purpose.
"Here you go, you can take it."
But the boss was so frightened that he knelt up and asked what the county order was going to do?
"In that case, I'll tell you the truth."
So, the county magistrate told him about Zhao Yun's arrival today.
At the same time, the identity of the deceased was also deliberately indicated.
The innkeeper is now slapping in the face.
"So he asked the county to close the case within two periods, but you also understand that there are a lot of things in the county, and this problem is particularly tricky."
The innkeeper was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what the other party meant.
This is clearly to find a substitute for the dead.
And this for the dead ghost is estimated to have to do it himself, or find someone himself.
And the money I was going to give myself just now was just a settlement payment.
A cold sweat suddenly broke out on his face.
The prefectural magistrate laughed.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up, aren't we drinking tea together? ”
At the same time, he looked at the master, and the master supported the boss.
"Come, let's have tea together."
When the boss sat on the stool, it was as if he had taken off a layer of skin.
The master poured tea for him, but he still didn't seem to react.
"How about it, innkeeper, did you say it was the second shopkeeper in your store?"
This has already hinted at it, just let him find a shopkeeper.
The innkeeper pondered, and it seemed that he didn't need his own life.
He laughed.
"Maybe that's the case, I'll have to check it carefully when I go back."
After drinking, the prefectural magistrate told him to bring the currency.
The innkeeper also accepted it with peace of mind.
He knew that if he didn't accept it, the county order probably wouldn't reassure him.
However, for two consecutive days, Zhao Yun was basically outside during the day, and only returned to the guest room to rest at night.
As a result, the county magistrate couldn't figure out what he was doing.
Finally, on the third day, Zhao Yun asked the county magistrate if he had found out the truth of the matter.
"Back to General Zhao, the villain lived up to his expectations, and finally found out a little. And the ascension will be carried out immediately. ”
Zhao Yun insisted that this time he must listen to it on the side.
The county magistrate said that he originally thought the same way.
So when he ascended to the hall for a while, he first brought the innkeeper with him.
The county magistrate pretended to say: "Boss Huang, the matter came out in your store, and then tell the matter in detail." ”
Boss Huang said that a man went to the toilet and found such a scene, so he quickly reported himself to the official.
And after careful inquiry, the innkeeper provided a clue.
There was a shopkeeper in their store, named Lin Tao, who told what had happened when he was drunk.
Therefore, it is no longer his case.
"Yes, hurry up and bring Lin Tao up."
A skinny shopkeeper was brought up, and he knelt down with a pop.
The county magistrate asked, "Are you Lin Tao?" ”
"The little one is exactly."
"Then did Master Ouyang kill you?"
Lin Tao nodded.
"Back to my lord, it's true, I saw that the man was very rich. So I wanted to ask him for money quickly, but he wouldn't give it to me, and in the end I strangled him to death and put him in that corner. ”
He said that he could have left the other party outside, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he put it in that place for the time being.
The county order slapped the case.
"It's unreasonable to dare to do such a crazy thing."
After that, he began to get him to sign and draw the pledge.
Zhao Yun said: "Slow down."
The county commander asked, "General Zhao, what's wrong?" ”
"Hmph, do you want to act in front of me?"
The county lord and the innkeeper were taken aback.
I don't know how Zhao Yun guessed it.
But of course, they are very much in denial.
Zhao Yun then asked Lin Tao.
"You say, did they coerce you, seize you with some tricks or what, and let you deliberately commit perjury?"
Lin Tao wanted to tell the truth in his heart, but he still smiled faintly and said, "No, I just have an uneasy conscience." ”
He said that when he was talking in his sleep, he was heard by a shopkeeper.
Ask yourself at first, and you don't admit it.
But later, he still admitted his plan, after all, after Ouyang Fu died, he also had nightmares every day.
"I know, I admit that I will kill my head in the future, but this way, I am finally a little more relieved, and I can have a good baby after death."
The county commander said: "General Zhao, he has already admitted it, why do you need to intercede for this kind of villain?" ”
Lin Tao quickly kowtowed.
He said that he should not kill people, and hoped that after his death, Lord Yama forgave him.
I also hope that when the boss dies, he can burn less money for himself.
The county magistrate asked Zhao Yun if he could be detained now and ready to pronounce the sentence?
"General Ben trusts his own judgment, he is definitely not the real murderer, you don't want to be so perfunctory."
Lin Tao admitted that he was definitely the murderer, and hoped that he would die quickly, otherwise he would still have a disturbed conscience.
Zhao Yun said: "If I say you're not, you're not, you have to go with me now, go to the courtyard alone, and I'll talk to you." ”
The county order said: "General Zhao, you can't influence my case, although your identity is different."
"What's wrong? Do you want to tell me that in this land of Sichuan and Shu, it doesn't matter if the drama prince says it, so I'm not qualified to do this? ”
"No, General Zhao, listen to me."
"I don't listen to anything." Zhao Yun directly grabbed Lin Tao, and then took him to a hidden corner of the courtyard.
"Say, why are you committing perjury?"
But Lin Tao said he did not commit perjury.
"Did they catch your family, and if you don't tell the perjury, something will happen to your family?"
Lin Tao wanted to cry a little without tears, because what Zhao Yun said was completely correct.
But he must not tell the truth.
Zhao Yun continued to press him, and saw that he still didn't speak.
It was dragged directly into the courtyard, in a very private corner.
After that, he returned to the hall.
And before, the county order and the innkeeper were whispering, anyway, they just didn't admit it.
Besides, Lin Tao's family has been caught by the innkeeper.
As a hostage in his hands, how could the other party not recognize it?
Suddenly, they saw Zhao Yun coming, and it was alone.
Zhao Yun looked at the two of them very angrily, and mixed in the seat again.
"General Ben has already asked clearly, this Lin Tao admits that he didn't do such a thing, but the two of you deliberately framed him, and it was the two of you who caught his family and deliberately threatened him, right?"
Zhao Yun just wanted to deceive them, and the two of them really panicked.
The innkeeper said that there was absolutely no such thing.
The prefectural order also said that there was absolutely no such thing.
Zhao Yun said: "General Ben has investigated clearly, don't you two still admit guilt?" ”
And the innkeeper was a little flustered, now that he was here, it was not okay to send someone to deal with Lin Tao's family.
I didn't expect this Lin Tao to admit it at this time, it was unreasonable.
He had never seen such a battle himself, and immediately quickly knelt down.
"Yes, General Zhao, all of this was forced by the county order to do this."
He told me what he had said when he drank that day.
The county magistrate shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense, when did this county let you do such a thing, you are talking nonsense." ”
Zhao Yun then asked the county magistrate to quickly admit it, otherwise he would be punished.
Sure enough, Zhao Yun personally began to torture, he took a big board from the mouth of the official and fought directly at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was helpless, and finally admitted it.
He said that because the two-day period was too short, he couldn't solve the case at all, so he had to make this decision.
"You two brutes, I came all the way here to let you do evil here. It just doesn't make sense. ”
The county commander and the innkeeper hurriedly knelt down, hoping that Zhao Yun would forgive them.
Zhao Yun also told them the truth, Lin Tao had already been knocked unconscious by himself.
He didn't say anything about it at all.
The two of them were taken aback.
Zhao Yun said, "But you two deserve to die." ”
Zhao Yun directly cut off the heads of the two of them.
The officials present were very surprised.
Zhao Yun then looked at the master who was trembling on the side, and his face was bloodless with fright.
"I guess this matter is also related to you."
The master hurriedly knelt down, hoping that Zhao Yun would definitely forgive him.
"The county master is dead now, you will judge the case in his place for the time being, and you must give me a good result."
The master felt inexplicable.
"Why, do you think I'm not qualified to give such an order?"
"No, the small one just feels too surprised, and the small one will definitely do its best."
Zhao Yun said that if he was given three days, if he couldn't find out clearly, he would directly destroy his nine clans at that time.
The master promised to solve the case as soon as possible.
The master must have started to work hard, how can this matter be investigated?
He went to the inn again and inquired in detail.
I even learned about the people who stayed here that day.
But the people who stayed in the house have already left, and where are they going to find out?
Eventually, he knew where Pang Yun's home was, so he went to Pang Yun's village to find out what was going on.
Knowing that there was also a gentleman surnamed Ma who had also come here, he began to investigate the appearance of the person surnamed Ma.
He finally told Zhao Yun, because this surnamed Ma may be very suspicious.
However, who this surname Ma is, he does not know.
However, he unexpectedly met a painter, who was from the village, and said that he had met Mr. Ma.
He can draw a portrait of Mr. Ma, and tomorrow he may have the result.
Sure enough, it was Sima Yi's appearance that the master began to post throughout the city to let people provide clues.
By the afternoon of the third day, the master still didn't have any clues.
At this time, he was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
He took the initiative to find Zhao Yun and knelt down for him, hoping that Zhao Yun would punish him.
"The villain is incompetent, and he can't get the truth of the matter, I still hope that General Zhao will kill the villain, but don't harm the villain's family."
Zhao Yun knew that he had done his best in the past few days.
"As long as you do your best, General Ben will not do anything to you, it's just that hateful county order, he is perfunctory, so General Ben can't help him."
When the master heard him say this, he was finally relieved.
Just then, a soldier came to report that a masked man had sent a letter.
Said that he could provide a clue, but he was reluctant to show up.
Zhao Yun asked the soldiers to quickly open the letter.
The content of the letter is Sima Yi's true identity, which turned out to be Sima Yi from Cao Pi.
And Zhao Yun quickly understood the link.
It was Cao Pi who didn't want Xi Yu to get better, so he sent someone to do it.
"It's simply unreasonable, Cao thief, I, Zhao Zilong, and Er are incompatible."
He finally let go of the master.
The next day, Zhao Yun and Master met a person who had stayed in that inn.
Said that he had indeed seen the person in the portrait.
And now Zhao Yun has fully confirmed that this must be Cao Pi's back.
Since this is the case, he plans to write to Cao Pi first, asking him to hand over Sima Yi and have an explanation.
Otherwise, they marched in and began to attack.
Zhao Yun finally left.
Shi also breathed a sigh of relief.
He also knew that there might be other county orders in the future, so it was important for him to save his life.
So he quickly left the place.
On this day, Song Shuwen was about to reach the situation of Youzhou.
Originally, according to the itinerary, I would be able to see Xi Yu in two days.
But one thing delayed him.
When he came to a village, he saw an old man lying on the side of the road, also injured.
He had compassion and got the old man to be healed right away.
However, when he put the old man on the horse, he suddenly realized that the old man was still one of his relatives, and it was one of his cousins.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you? How could you be like this"?
He quickly found a ruined temple at the entrance of the village, and then got his cousin down to prepare for healing.
He checked the other party's injuries, and it was estimated that he had been hit by a carriage.
Moreover, this cousin himself was sick, and in order to be completely cured, he had to go to the mountains to collect a very rare medicine.
He also remembered that although he and this cousin had not moved around for several years.
But it seems that the other party has no children and no daughters.
Simply, put him in the broken temple first, I guess no one cares about an old man.
He was going to hurry up and collect the medicine.
On the other side, Zhao Yun wrote a letter for Cao Pi to send to Cao Pi, but he quickly went to Youzhou again.
A few days later, Cao Pi received the letter, and he was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi's matter was investigated by others.
It really seems that there is no impermeable wall in the world.
He immediately asked Sima Yi to be called.
Sima Yi arrived soon.
"Gong Cao, is there something wrong with you?"
Cao Pi was very angry and showed Sima Yi the letter that Zhao Yun wrote to him.
Sima Yi was taken aback, it turned out that this matter had been investigated.
"yes, what do you think should be done next?"
Sima Yi listened to Cao Pi's meaning, it seemed that he had bad intentions, wouldn't he be giving himself out?
Everything I did was for the good of Cao Gong.
Cao Pi smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand what Ben Hou meant, Ben Hou didn't mean to hand you over, Ben Hou just wanted to ask you, how should we completely solve this matter." ”
After thinking for a while, Sima Yi said: "It's very simple, we did go to find Pang Yun, and we asked Pang Yun to treat the lord, but our subordinates didn't kill Ouyang Fu." ”
Because this portrait just judged that he went to find Pang Yun with Ouyang Fu.
If you say that you killed them, there is no evidence.
Cao Pi thought about it, yes, why didn't he think about it?
When I received this letter, Hikaru knew that I was in a hurry.
"It's really a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear, listening to your words, my heart feels much better."
Sima Yi smiled, and he said that Cao Pi directly followed what he said, and it was enough to reply to the letter. (End of chapter)
