The jade people in the Liang Kingdom are better than the Jinyi Wei in the Ming Dynasty in the previous life.

Engaged in investigation, arrest, interrogation, military intelligence collection and other functions, set up its own prison.

It also has a strong restraining effect on some sects in the rivers and lakes.

Some people in the rivers and lakes can even be frightened when they hear the name of the jade person.

Before that, Chu Zheng had thought about getting an identity and making some forces a little jealous of him, at least not daring to attack him.

Originally, he still wanted to get a quick identity.

And now it seems that the identity of the jade person is more suitable.

But soon, Chu Zheng's brows furrowed, and he said, "Aren't all people with jade hereditary?" How can I make a recommendation? ”

He has been in this world for a while, and naturally he will take the initiative to learn about some things.

And the institution of bringing jade people is one of the key points of his understanding.

He had never heard of a jade person recruiting people from outside.

"Little Brother Chu, you don't know anything about this." Xu Rong smiled and said, "In fact, when the jade people were first founded, they recruited people from outside. It's just that the audit is extremely strict, and the three generations of a person are carefully investigated.

It was only in the past 100 years that the jade people began to be hereditary, after all, they were all loyal and good. ”

"Then the jade people have recently started recruiting people?" Chu Zheng paused slightly and asked.

"That's right." Xu Rong nodded, "At the beginning of this month, it seems that the manpower of the jade people is a little insufficient, so they start recruiting people from outside. ”

Speaking of this, his brows were also slightly furrowed, obviously not understanding why the jade man had such a change.

"You can rest assured, as long as you help with this case, the general judge will recommend you a place. I've met Master Tongju, and I don't look like a person who doesn't believe in his word. Xu Rong patted Chu Zheng's shoulder and said with a smile.

Chu Zheng nodded, and then he was a little puzzled, and said, "Since this place is so precious, why doesn't Brother Xu go?" ”

"Me?" Xu Rong was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'll go and take the jade people to do something." My roots are all in Chamdo. If you go to take the jade people, you will only be angry, and it is not as comfortable as being a head catcher in Qamdo Mansion. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Zheng and said, "Brother Chu, what do you think?" Can you help with this case? ”

Chu Zheng groaned slightly, and said, "It's okay, can you tell me the details of this case?" I still know too little about this case. ”

Hearing his words, Xu Rong was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll tell you." ”

As the head catcher of the sub-office, this case has not been solved for a long time, and he is also under great pressure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to find Chu Zheng.

Then, Xu Rong told Chu Zheng some details of the case.

First of all, Chu Zheng knew that the poison thrown by the murderer was arsenic.

This also made him dismiss the poisoning caused by some accidental elements.

This is indeed poisoning.

Because arsenic that can be used to poison is still relatively rare in nature.

This substance, because of its large solubility and stability, is not easy to preserve in nature.

Not to mention, near the pond.

"The problem with the case now is that Li Ming is a well-known person in this neighborhood, and it is unlikely that the other party will kill people at will because of some quarrels. Today, however, there are no other suspects. Xu Rong sighed faintly.

He was annoyed by the case.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Ming's matter was a bit big, he would have wanted to beat the other party into a trick.

Anyway, there are so many unjust cases, and he doesn't care about one more.

Hearing Xu Rong's words, Chu Zheng pondered for a moment, and then slowly, "This case can't be played now, I'm afraid it's because some of the joints haven't been figured out." If the joints are figured out. It's a lot easier. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, "Brother Xu, in the past few days, you might as well find someone to secretly keep an eye on Zhang Shan to see if there is anything unusual about him." ”

"Do you suspect that Zhang Shan killed his wife and son?" Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Xu Rong changed color in shock.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng shook his head, "This kind of thing is too appalling, I don't think it's very likely, but now that Li Ming can't find a breakthrough, why don't you find Zhang Shan, another person who has been in contact with the deceased?" ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and continued: "Of course, if Brother Xu really finds out about Zhang Shan's abnormality, don't startle the snake. There must be something strange about this matter. ”

Xu Rong pressed his hand on the table, was silent for a long time, and then said: "I still have to report this matter to the general judge, and now he is in charge of the litigation of the Qamdo Mansion." ”

"It's so much better." Chu Zheng nodded, then paused, and said, "Also, Brother Xu, since you want me to help with this case, I have a reluctant request." I want to go to prison today and meet Li Ming. ”

Hearing his words, Xu Rong nodded and said, "This is not a reluctant invitation, since you want to handle a case, it is normal to meet Li Ming." I can call the test on this matter, or we'll go over now. ”

"Wait a minute." Chu Zheng smiled and said, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

Yu Rong had actually made breakfast a long time ago, but because Chu Zheng was chatting with Xu Rong, she didn't bother.

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Xu Rong was stunned for a moment.

He told the other party that this is related to the qualification of a jade person.

As long as the other party becomes a jade person, not to mention glory and wealth in the next few generations, food and clothing will definitely not be worried.

However, now the other party has no intention of being anxious at all, and has to eat breakfast.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel surprised by the other party's concentration.

You know, the other party is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

"Brother Xu, have you eaten? If you don't eat it, eat it together. The pasta made by my sister-in-law is very good. Chu Zheng looked at Xu Rong and said with a smile.

"It's fine." Xu Rong smiled lightly, suppressed his impatient thoughts, and said.

Not long after, after breakfast, the two went out.

The prison is still some distance from here, and they are now in the South Side, and the prison is in the West Side.

In the past, the prison was in the South District, but since the price of land here has risen, the prison has been demolished and converted into a block.

The prison was moved to the slum-stricken West End.

As soon as he entered the Western District, Chu Zheng found that it was very different from the Southern District.

If in the Southern District, people live like people, most of the people here in the West District don't look like any people.

The clothes on the people here are a little ragged and dirtier than those in the South Side.

Some of the children's faces were not as clean as those of the children in the southern area, and there were many more stains.

As for the adults, there was a little numbness in their eyes, and there was a touch of vigilance in the eyes that looked at them.

After entering here, Chu Zheng didn't know why he had a heavy feeling in his heart.

It was as if he was still in exile.

It's just that this place of exile has become Qamdo.

Xu Rong on the side didn't care about this, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the prison door, and after Xu Rong said hello to the prison guard, he entered inside, and a jailer led the way in front.

As soon as he entered the prison, a commotion smell, along with the smell of mold, entered Chu Zheng's nose, making him frown involuntarily.

"It's winter, and it tastes good, but in the summer, the smell is even worse." Xu Rong saw Chu Zheng frowning, and couldn't help but quip.

"If so, what if there is a disease?" Chu Zheng frowned and asked.

Hearing his words, Xu Rong smiled and did not reply.

At that moment, two jailers came out of it.

In their hands, they dragged a man.

The man's exposed skin was a little blue, his body was stiff, and he was silent, but he was dead.

Seeing this person, Chu Zheng immediately understood how to deal with the epidemic.

The two then followed the jailer for a while longer and stayed in front of a cell.

This cell was obviously better than the outside, with a window high up inside that allowed sunlight to shine in from the outside.

Moreover, this cell is different from other cells, this cell, there is only one prisoner.

The prisoner was lying on straw with a few feet of sunlight shining on him.

Someone came in, but the prisoner didn't open his eyes, and was still asleep.

This person is Li Ming.

Li Ming's hair was a little messy, and his clothes were dirty and wrinkled, similar to the prisoner next to him, but he did not have the despair and decadence of other prisoners.

On the contrary, it has a bit of the comfort of a noble son.

When the jailer saw Li Ming like this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he patted the pillar hard and shouted, "Li Ming, someone saw you coming." ”

Hearing the shout, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes and got up from the straw.

Then, when he saw Chu Zheng, he couldn't help but show joy.

He stood up and patted the dust on his body, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chu, now that I'm so embarrassed, I make you laugh." ”

"Nothing." Chu Zheng smiled and said, "In my eyes, Brother Li's demeanor is still the same. ”

He said this not as a compliment, but as it was.

Although Li Ming was ragged and his hair was scattered at this time, his temperament was the same as outside.

"Let's talk, I have something to do. Later, Brother Chu, you have to go out, and tell the jailers here that they saw you come in. Seeing that Chu was meeting with Li Ming's acquaintance, Xu Rong on the side smiled and said.

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Chu Zheng nodded towards Xu Rong.

Then, Xu Rong turned around and walked outside.

"Little Brother Chu, do you want to open the door?" The jailer next to him asked with a smile.

"Then it's going to bother this big brother." Chu Zheng nodded at the jailer.

Then he paused, took out a dime of silver from his bosom and handed it to the jailer, saying, "I wonder if my eldest brother can help me buy some good food to eat outside." ”

Seeing the silver in Chu Zheng's hand, the jailer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "A little food, not so much." ”

"I'll give you more, I hope you will take more care of my brother in the future." Chu Zheng smiled at the jailer and said.

Hearing his words, the jailer's face was slightly strange.

It's not that he hasn't taken bribes, but he hasn't rarely taken such silky bribes.

Moreover, this bribe was given by a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old.

It surprised him a little.

"Okay. I'm going to buy you something to eat. The jailer opened the door and smiled.

Then he headed outside.

Chu Zheng walked into the prison door, looked at Li Ming, and said a little apologetically: "Recently, I have encountered some things, so I don't know that something happened to you." It's too late now, I hope Brother Li won't blame him. ”

"What's to blame for this, I paid you some silver taels." Li Ming shook his head and smiled.

"It's not a big deal." Chu Zheng shook his head, then paused and said, "I came this time, and because of Xu Zhutou's entrustment, I asked him to help him handle this case." ”

Hearing his words, Li Ming smiled bitterly: "What details are there to say, I don't know why I was unlucky." First, Zhang Shan broke a few banana trees. Later, he came to me because the child was born with a cold, and I gave him banana leaves in compassion. Who knows, it's got into this kind of thing. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Zheng and said, "I don't know Brother Chu, what do you think of this matter." Do you think I've killed someone? ”

His eyes were clear, and Chu Zheng didn't see the slightest negative emotion in the other party's eyes.

"Others say that I am very stable at a young age, but now it seems that my friend, who is more stable than me." Chu Zheng sighed in his heart.

Then, he shook his head and said, "I believe in you, I think you are a human being, it's just a little quarrel, how can I do such a thing." I'm here to know the reason for this. ”

"Brother Chu, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask. I know it all. Li Ming said.

"I want to know, Brother Li, can you offend people in this Qamdo Mansion?" Chu Zheng sat on the haystack and asked.

Hearing his words, Li Ming hurriedly shook his head, "I've been here in Qamdo Mansion for a while. Since I came here, I have been kind to others, and I have lived in seclusion on weekdays. Won't offend anyone at all. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "If you say that you are offended, it should be Zhang Shan." He broke my banana tree at my house, and I scolded him. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "However, I don't think Zhang Shan will harm his wife and children because of this little thing." So it shouldn't be him. ”

When Chu Zheng heard this, he was noncommittal, but continued to ask: "Then do you have any coveted property in your family?" ”

"I don't have any possessions." Li Ming waved his hand and said, "At most, that sword is worth some money." But the sword, I only kept it at home, and I didn't show it to anyone. ”

Hearing Li Ming say this, Chu Zheng's brows furrowed.

If someone is harming Li Ming and setting up this bureau, then what the other party wants is either revenge or wealth.

And these two were denied by Li Ming.

At this time, Chu Zheng suddenly thought of something, looked at Li Ming, and asked, "Then before the crime, did you encounter some abnormal things?" ”

Hearing his words, Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something, and said: "You reminded me of something, half a month before the crime, I used to clean up my family's pond.

I didn't close the door when I had dug up a few strange stones, but one of them was passing by and wanted to buy them for a tael of silver. I ignored him and threw the stone into the pond. Later, I looked through the classics, and it should be Kunshi. ”

"Kunshi?" Chu Zheng had a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Chu, it's understandable that you don't know. This kind of stone is mainly produced in Kunshan, and each piece is worth about 100 taels. Li Ming said.

Chu Zheng nodded, he knew what was going on with the mud under those plantains, and he believed the other party's words a little.

He looked at Li Ming and asked, "Then do you remember who was looking for you that day?" ”

"I don't remember exactly." Li Ming shook his head and said.

Chu Zheng nodded, "I'll take care of this matter." If there's any progress, I'll tell my brother again. ”

"Then thank you Brother Chu." Li Ming thanked.

"This is as it should be, Brother Li is very helpful to me." Chu Zheng said with a smile.

At this moment, the jailer came over from outside and said with a smile: "Two sons, the chicken soup is here." ”
