Yanping County Ya.

Inner nave.

The county commander Song Zhili paced back and forth, very anxious.

"My lord," Cheng Xiao, the head catcher, bowed down and reported, "I have already asked clearly, the old man's surname is Li, and during his detention, only Mr. Gao, who was the scrivener, went in to write the petition, and after he finished writing, no one ever went in again." ”

As he spoke, he presented the paper.

Song Zhili took the paper and looked at it quickly, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Also," Cheng Xiao said again, "I have already experienced corpses, and I did die of poisoning, because no external injuries were found, and it is suspected that I took poison!" ”

"Poisoning? How so? Song County Commander wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and pondered, "Only Mr. Gao has been in, is it difficult to ......."

Speaking of this, he shook his head again and again, because Mr. Gao was only the scrivener in charge of writing the petition, and he had no grievances with the old man, how could he poison people?

Besides, Mr. Gao is old, how can he force the old man to take poison?

"It shouldn't have anything to do with Mr. Gao," Cheng Xiao analyzed, "The jailer confirmed that an hour after Mr. Gao left, Li Laohan also asked the jailer about the time, indicating that he was still alive at that time." ”

"Oh......" Song Xianling frowned, "That...... Could it be that Li Laohan committed suicide by taking poison? The poison was brought by himself? ”

After asking, the two of them were silent for a while, and then shook their heads at the same time.

Because logically speaking, the old man is suing for his daughter, and the lawsuit has not yet been fought, so there is no reason to commit suicide at all.

"I'm in trouble now......" Song County Ling actually said after the break, "The yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants - it's not, it's!" As soon as this news spreads, people will inevitably think that our yamen is in cahoots with Qiu Batian, killing people for him, alas...... How good is that? ”

"My lord," Cheng Xiao also said with a solemn expression, "This matter is very strange, if Li Laohan did not commit suicide, it means that the inside of our yamen is not clean!" ”

In a word, Song County was even more frightened.

"This Qiu Batian is too terrifying!" He guessed in horror, "All the people in our yamen have been bribed by him? What the hell is he trying to do? Demonstrate with us? ”

"This ......" Cheng Xiao naturally couldn't give an answer.

"No......" Song Xianling pondered for a few seconds, and hurriedly said to Cheng Xiao, "We have to block the news quickly, and we can't let the news of Li Laohan's death in the yamen get out."

"By the way, isn't Li Laohan's daughter not in the Yamen, you quickly send someone to bring her over......"

"No need!"

Who knows, Cheng Xiao has not yet agreed, and Xu Zhen's voice came from the door.

"Lord Song," Xu Zhen stepped into the inner hall and said to Song County Commander Shili, "I just went to Li Laohan's house, his house caught fire, and Li Laohan's daughter has been burned to death!" ”

"What !?"

The two were shocked, and Song Xian Ling sat on the Taishi chair.

"Xu Zhen," after the shock, Song Xianling remembered something, and hurriedly straightened his waist and asked, "Why did you go to Li Laohan's house?" ”

"I saw that the old man died in the county jail, and I was worried that his daughter would also be killed, so I hurried to go, but it was a pity that I ......" Xu Zhen shook his head helplessly, "It's still a step too late......"

Next, Xu Zhen told what happened at Li Laohan's house.

"It's so ......" Song Xianling was shocked when he heard it, clutched the handrail tightly, and muttered in a low voice, "This means ...... It's too vicious and vicious! ”

Xu Zhen saw that Song County Ling still believed that all this was done by Qiu Batian.

Who knows, Song County Ling thought of something after muttering, and suddenly looked at Xu Zhen and said, "You still have the heart to go to the old man's house...... You're still thinking about his daughter......"

Syllable!

Suddenly, Song County's face changed, and he patted the handrail and shouted angrily:

"Xu Zhen, look at what you did well! Let you summon Qiu Batian, you ...... How did you knock him out? Who told you to do this? ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cheng Xiao innocently, "Didn't Cheng Zhutou say that if you couldn't bring Qiu Batian, you would be to blame?" He also told me that if Qiu Batian dared to disobey, let me detain him! ”

"Bastard!" Cheng Xiao was furious and hurriedly clarified, "That'...... That's what Chen Tiefeng said! ”

After speaking, he realized that his clarification was tantamount to smearing.

"No, no, no...... My lord," he hurriedly defended himself to Song County, "That's not the case, I just asked Xu Zhen to summon Qiu Batian, but I didn't expect him to be so reckless!"

"Xu Zhen, ...... you" Cheng Xiao grinned angrily, "Look at how much trouble you have caused to adults?"

"My lord," he turned to Song County Commander again and began to complain, "Xu Zhen is good at making claims and causing big trouble for the yamen, please dismiss him immediately!" Otherwise, Qiu Batian would definitely not give up! ”

Hearing this, Song Zhili narrowed his eyes, and he had already understood what Cheng Xiao meant.

In their opinion, this case is all done by Qiu Batian.

Xu Zhen knocked such an unprovoked demon king unconscious and brought him back to the yamen, and the consequences were obviously very serious.

As long as Qiu Batian made a small report to his uncle, who was a servant of the ministry, his future would be very worried.

Now, only by dismissing Xu Zhen can it be possible to shirk the responsibility, so as to facilitate his follow-up operation.

Besides, if Xu Zhen is not fired, Xu Zhen will always represent the yamen, and once Qiu Batian is investigated, the yamen will be implicated.

Well......

After making up his mind, Song Xianling nodded heavily, with a dark light in his eyes, and said to Xu Zhen:

"Xu Zhen, it seems that you are indeed not suitable to be a fast catcher, from now on - you have been dismissed!"

Hearing this decision, Cheng Xiao sneered with satisfaction.

However, when he looked at Xu Zhen, he found that Xu Zhen also had a sneer on his face.

"Xu Zhen, did you hear what the adults said?" Cheng Xiao pointed to the door, "Why don't you get out of here!?" ”

"Lord Song," however, Xu Zhen didn't pay attention to Cheng Xiao, but clasped his fists at Song Zhili and said steadily, "If there is such a possibility, I forcibly brought Qiu Batian to the Yamen, but it was for your own good?" ”

"What?" Xu Zhen's words immediately attracted Song Zhili's attention, "What do you mean?" ”

"Lord Song," Xu Zhen asked again, "I don't know, have you ever thought that the matter of Li Laohan's father and daughter was not Qiu Batian's doing?" ”

"What?" Song Zhili opened his mouth wide, "Didn't Qiu Ba Tiando it?" How can it be? ”

"Xu Zhen," Cheng Xiao retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about, who else could it be if it's not Qiu Batian?" Don't...... Then Li Laohan still can't make a false accusation? ”

"That's right, Li Laohan's daughter was indeed abandoned naked in the city this morning, and some people recognized that the carriage was owned by Qiu Batian.

"Also," Song Zhili pointed at the paper, "It is clearly written, according to his daughter's confession, his daughter recognized that the person who kidnapped, raped, and abandoned her in the downtown area was Qiu Batian's extremely subordinate, can this still be fake?" ”

"My lord," Xu Zhen objected, "These are just one-sided words, and from beginning to end, we have not been confirmed by Qiu Batian. ”

"Joke," Cheng Xiao sneered, "You wouldn't be naïve enough to think that Qiu Batian would still be able to admit it, right?" ”

"No, that's not what I meant," Xu Zhen said, "According to my judgment, Qiu Batian probably didn't know about Ailian's affairs. ”

"Oh?" Song Zhili was surprised, and asked with a frown, "What is the basis?" ”

"Before I knocked Qiu Batian unconscious today, I saw two ravaged young women in his carriage," Xu Zhen said, "So, after coming out of Li Laohan's house just now, I deliberately found them. ”

Hearing this, Song Zhili and Cheng Xiao were all puzzled, and they didn't understand what these two women had to do with the case?

"These two are both new courtesans from the Jiaofang Division," Xu Zhen explained, "They were forcibly taken back to the Drunken Immortal Residence by Qiu Batian last night and accompanied Qiu Batian all night!" ”

"Huh?" Song Zhili couldn't help but say, "You mean...... Last night? ”

"Yes," Xu Zhen said, "according to the two of them, Qiu Batian humiliated and tortured them inhumanely for a whole night!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Zhen gritted his teeth, because the two poor courtesans were only sixteen years old.

"What do you mean......" Song County Ling didn't care about this, but said in a comprehension, "Qiu Batian was with these two women last night, so the old man's daughter ......"

"My lord," Cheng Xiao hurriedly said, "Qiu Ba is naturally perverse and strong, and spending the night with a courtesan doesn't seem to affect his violence against Li Laohan's daughter, right?" ”

"When Qiu Batian was summoned, I deliberately said that Li Laohan had complained, but I saw that Qiu Batian and the others were all very surprised, and they didn't look like they knew about it." Xu Zhen continued his analysis, "Besides, since he already planned to kill people and kill him, why did he have to wait for Li Laohan to come to the Yamen to complain, and why did he have to poison him in the Yamen prison?"

"Also, even if you kill people and punish your heart, but first abandon the old man's daughter naked in the city, and then kill people and set fires, is it too much? Isn't it too ostentatious?

"Don't you think this case is weird, my lord?"

"This ......" Actually, Song County Ling also felt that this case was a little unreasonable before, but now that he heard Xu Zhen's analysis, he was more sure of his previous judgment.

"Wait......" However, Cheng Xiao glared at Xu Zhen and said, "Xu Zhen, according to what you say, then Li Laohan deliberately framed Qiu Batian?" Don't you think it's ridiculous to use your daughter's innocence and your own life? ”

"Really?" Xu Zhen said coldly, "Then what if...... Li Laohan and his daughter were also taken advantage of? ”

Yes?

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent again.

"Abandon the city naked, kill people and kill ......people," Xu Zhen said heavily, "The case is so ostentatious, if it is not framed, it may be fine, but if it is really deliberately framed, adults ......" He looked at Song Zhili, "Then the origin of the person behind this - it's not small!" ”
