Chapter 148: Case Closed

The intruder was none other than Xu Zhen.

After Meng Qingxi's father and son left, he cautiously entered the house.

But I saw that the house was filled with cigarette smoke, and there was a statue of the god Xuandao and various offerings on the offering table in the center, and there was a collapsed futon on the ground.

It can be seen that Meng Qingxi should have been burning incense and bowing just now.

Xu Zhen carefully observed the house and probed all the rooms.

Because Meng Zhixiao's face was damaged, he had not married a wife for three years, and his mother had already died of illness, so only the father and son lived in the whole house.

Xu Zhen first checked the room where Meng Zhixiao lived before entering Meng Qingxi's room.

To his surprise, there was an elegant study inside Meng Qingxi's bedroom, with bookshelves full of books and walls full of calligraphy and paintings.

Unexpectedly, Meng Qingxi is in the transportation business, but he is still a cultural person, the study room has all the four treasures, and there are many written poems on the table, obviously he often practices calligraphy here.

Most of the ancient books on the shelves are ancient books, looking old.

Xu Zhen also took out a few books and looked through them, and found that in addition to the ancient books of Xuandao, there were also many folk legends, as well as books on alchemy, cultivators, and flying immortals.

It seems that this Meng Qingxi is not only interested in calligraphy and painting, but also has a lot of research on these flying immortal enlightenment techniques.

Since the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Xuandao has been designated as the state religion, and even the name "Great Xuan" has come from this.

For more than 100 years after that, Xuandao endured, especially in the period of the national teacher Qiu Dingtian 40 years ago.

Nowadays, although it is not as beautiful as before, it is still popular among the people.

Therefore, Meng Qingxi believes in Xuandao and believes in some legends of gods and ghosts, and the alchemy ascension technique is obviously normal.

However, it is through these seemingly normal things that Xu Zhen has some different feelings......

……

At the same time, the old residence of Meng Qinghui, the richest man that year, was already overcrowded.

Those who participated in the wedding banquet were seated according to the pre-marked positions, while those who did not attend the wedding banquet stood around the courtyard, waiting to watch how Xu Zhen investigated the case and revealed the mystery.

However, they waited for a long time, not to mention waiting for the answer to the mystery, even Xu Zhen himself did not wait.

Only that Baozheng Li Youcai stood up and let everyone recall carefully, can they still remember that three years ago, who noticed any special circumstances?

But with such a chaotic scene, who can calm down and recall it carefully?

So everyone began to complain, which made the scene more and more chaotic, and some people even wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible on the grounds that the children were unattended.

As a result, at such a moment, among the trees deep in the compound, a string of explosions suddenly sounded!

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

The sudden explosion suddenly frightened everyone, and some of the cowardly even fell to the ground in fright, and some turned around and fled......

But when they realized that the crackling sound was nothing more than a firecracker hanging from the treetops, they stopped with surprise on their faces.

However, almost everyone's face was already pale.

Soon, after a firecracker went off, Xu Zhen appeared from behind the tree.

Apparently, he was the one who put the whip.

"Is that you? Lord Headcatcher......" One of them was getting up on the table, trembling and complaining to Xu Zhen, "What are you doing here?" Scare...... Scared the hell out of us! ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Xu Zhen said to everyone without being salty, "The yin qi here is too heavy, and the whip is strong!" ”

“……”

Everyone is scolding the street in their hearts, where is this boldness, it is simply deliberately scary.

However, Xu Zhen's next sentence surprised everyone.

"Fellow villagers," Xu Zhen said in public, "Listen to me, and it has now been found out that the murderer who poisoned three years ago was none other than Meng Shaojun from your village!! ”

Yes?

What......

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

"Why, my ......lord," said one of them, tremblingly, "Why, my lord?" How...... How could it be Meng Shaojun? She's dead! ”

"Now that the murderer has been found," Xu Zhen directly ignored Li Zheng's question, and continued to say to everyone, "Then I announce that Yaochang Village will be unsealed immediately, and you can do whatever you like!" ”

“……”

Everyone was speechless again, all of them were confused by Xu Zhen's neurotic treatment, some began to complain, and some simply spat out fragrant ......

But no matter what, Xu Zhen is the head catcher of the county government, and no one dares to mess around, so they can only disband on the spot with the crowd.

However, after the end, the three of them and Li Youcai still surrounded Xu Zhen, wanting to ask Xu Zhen, why did he say that the culprit of the poisoning three years ago was Meng Shaojun?

Xu Zhen saw that there was no one else in the courtyard, so he glared at the few of them: "What, it's not Meng Shaojun, which one of you is that?" ”

"Huh? This ......" In an instant, several people seemed to understand what Xu Zhen meant, but they didn't seem to understand it at all.

"Okay," Xu Zhen didn't want to talk nonsense with them, and immediately said, "Meng Shaojun was the culprit of the poisoning back then!" She hated Meng Qinghui for blocking her wealth, so she secretly poisoned her, and in order to get rid of suspicion, she didn't hesitate to take her wife, understand? ”

"Huh? This ......" several people frowned again, but this time they completely understood what Xu Zhen meant.

There is no doubt that Xu Zhen found a dead man like Meng Shaojun as a scapegoat, since the real murderer cannot be found, only by placing the crime on the dead man can Xu Zhen confess.

But...... In this case, what should be done with Meng Shaojun's property?

"No one should think about Meng Shaojun's property," Xu Zhen seemed to be able to see through their thoughts, and immediately said, "In two days, the county government will send people to take all of them away, the list has been listed, and when there is one thing missing, I will take a few of you to the county government hall." ”

"This ......" several people looked at each other, obviously still not wanting to accept this fact.

"What? Dissatisfied? Xu Zhen said coldly, "Or, I won't let Meng Shaojun be the real murderer, let's see what happens to your village next?" Also, you keep it right, hum ......"

Xu Zhen glared at Li Youcai fiercely, and he didn't bother to teach a lesson in the rest of his words.

His meaning couldn't be more obvious, if he didn't let Meng Shaojun be used as a scapegoat, then next, Baozheng would be punished for concealing the report back then, and Yaochang Village would never have peace!

"Otherwise, ......" However, one of them still did not give up, and weakly proposed to Xu Zhen, "Let Li Qian ......"

What he means is that if Li Qian can be convicted, then there is no need to confiscate Meng Shaojun's property, right?

"You're all pig brains!" Xu Zhen couldn't help but scold, "If I didn't bring Meng Shaojun's property back, how could the county magistrate believe that Meng Shaojun was the murderer?"

"I told you before, for no reason, why did the county magistrate send me to investigate an old case three years ago? And only the two of us were sent, including an inexperienced female scribe? Can you use your brains? ”

Oh......

A few people suddenly realized that all this is the magic plan of the county magistrate!

People have long taken a fancy to Meng Shaojun's property, but they will be embarrassed if they forcibly collect it, so they thought of such a tactful way.

In other words, Xu Zhen has been just a form of walking around in the past three days, and he is not here to solve the case at all.

After thinking about everything, a few people were indifferent, three days ago they were fighting over this matter, and now that they think about it, it is a big joke......
