"Lord Thorn Shi, why did you call my village people to do it?"

The old woman looked at Fang Yuan tremblingly.

"Don't worry, old man, I just asked them to ask about things."

Fang Yuan comforted softly.

Ordered Zhao Yuanzhi to go back to the house and carry a stool for the people to sit on.

"Thank you, thank you, Lord Thorn."

The old woman was still trembling.

It's uncomfortable to sit on a stool.

"You, please come out for a moment."

Fang Yuan's gaze swept to the audience, and finally pointed to a young man and said.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then walked out in a hurry.

"If you don't ask, don't interfere with it."

"Otherwise, they will be punished for interfering with official business, and they will be punished."

Fang Yuan's sharp eyes swept over the other people.

Finally, he looked at Liu Yongshou and them with a warning look.

Liu Yongshou and the others didn't look very good-looking, they knew that it was Fang Yuan's warning.

The other people present were also panicked, because the faces of the young people who were surrounded at this time were swollen.

"Come, this official will talk privately."

"Why are you here so early?"

Fang Yuan changed his face and left with the young man's back to everyone.

"I heard that they said that the foreign family was detaining us Liaozhou people, so I came over."

The young man pointed to the young men who were surrounded and said with a flattering smile.

"Is that the same for everyone else?"

Fang Yuan nodded, and then asked again.

"I guess so."

The young man was not very sure.

"Thank you!"

"It's good to think about one's own people, but you have to pay attention to the dialectic of good and bad, you know?"

Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and told him to go back.

Then he called a few more people to come and inquire, and the situation was about the same.

They all pointed to the five young men who were surrounded, almost all of whom he shouted.

Everyone was enthusiastic, and after learning that their Liaozhou people were detained by foreign families, they all rushed over quickly.

At this time, the dog and Aray arrived.

"Governor!"

The dog saluted with Are.

"Do you know the old man and them?"

Fang Yuan bowed his head and pointed to the old woman and the corpse and said.

"This is Aunt Liu, I only know one person, and it is Aunt Liu's eldest son who has a lot of money."

Aray looked at the old woman and the three corpses, and his face welled up with fear and sadness.

"How's their relationship?"

"I just saw this sixth aunt crying for a long time, and there was not a single tear."

Fang Yuan asked after a moment of silence.

"Definitely won't shed tears, the sixth aunt can't wait to die of a fortune, how can she shed tears."

The dog blurted out.

When the words fell, everyone was in an uproar.

"Dog, don't talk nonsense and slander Aunt Six."

The old woman was immediately dissatisfied, and glared at the dog.

"Aunt Six, others are afraid of you biting your tongue, but I am not afraid of you without a father or mother."

"You just want Dacai to die, you are worried that Dacai will rob the family property with your youngest son, who in the village doesn't know?"

The dog sneered.

"You, you!"

"Lord Thorn Shi, don't listen to his nonsense!"

The old lady's face changed, and she looked at Fang Yuan and said.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, looked at the dog, and waited for his next step.

"The sixth aunt is not a big fortune, she is her mother, and she is the continuation of the sixth uncle."

"The sixth aunt and the sixth uncle also have a son, who is more than ten years younger than Dacai."

"The sixth uncle died early, and in the early years, the sixth aunt had been relying on a lot of money to make money as a coolie, but when her son grew up a little, the sixth aunt said in the village every day that she wanted to occupy the family property and so on."

The dog snorted coldly and told the truth.

When everyone listened, they immediately felt that the old woman had gone too far.

treats the stepmother like her own mother, but the stepmother repeatedly speaks ill of her son, and tells outsiders that she wishes he died.

Everyone at the scene listened, and many people began to express their dissatisfaction with the cruelty of the old woman.

"Fang Tingshi, do you ask this, is it related to the case?"

"If it is irrelevant, can the case be decided, don't waste my time waiting."

Liu Yongshou said suddenly.

"That is, Fang Thorn Shi is not delaying time and favoring foreign families, right?"

Pei Yonghan also said.

As the two spoke, many people at the scene immediately spoke up.

Indeed, Fang Yuan's questioning seemed irrelevant to the case.

This kind of emotional dispute between mother and son should be asked after the facts of the case.

"That's it, that's it."

"Fang Tingshi, can I not pursue it?"

"Compensation, just pay me some money, I, I want to bury the wealth."

The old woman also said at this time.

She no longer sat down, but walked towards Fang Yuan.

The rickety appearance is also quite bleak to look at.

"If you don't pursue it, I'm willing to compensate!"

Zhao Yuanzhi said immediately.

Although he would love to know the truth about being wronged.

But he can also see that there are too many mysteries behind this matter.

He guessed that Fang Yuan had no way to solve the mystery in front of him at this time.

In order not to get into more trouble, it is best to compensate a little money.

"Not only to compensate, but also to get out of Liaozhou."

"Liaozhou doesn't need you vicious foreign families!"

Pei Yonghan said coldly.

"That's right, get out of Liaozhou!"

A few people echoed and chimed in.

When Zhao Yuanzhi heard this, he opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.

It's okay to lose money, but it's really a shame to get out of Liaozhou.

He thought about it for a while and decided not to speak anymore, let Fang Yuan deal with it, and wait for Fang Yuan's results.

Let's see for yourself whether the history of the powerful thorns in this place can balance the local family.

"Silence!"

"One by one, there is a lot of trouble, do you want to go back to the Shifu for trial?"

Fang Yuan said coldly.

Silence finally returned.

Indeed, what Fang Yuan asked just now seemed to have nothing to do with the facts of the case.

But in fact, Fang Yuan had already determined in his heart that Zhao Yuanzhi had not poisoned them.

He pondered for a moment, and was about to speak.

But at this time, Zhang San hurried over.

"Governor, their information has been found."

Zhang San dismounted and walked quickly towards Fang Yuan.

There is also a document in his hand, which is the identity record of the three deceased.

Fang Yuan was not idle during the time he was asking the old woman and calling the dog Ah Lei over.

Zhang San had already been informed to find out the identities of the three of them, as well as the source of the poison.

"Glad to hear Pei's. The remaining two turned out to be your house slaves?! ”

After reading the information, Fang Yuan's brows furrowed, he looked at Pei Yonghan and said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and looked at Pei Yonghan and the others in surprise.

This news is not ordinarily big, shocking.

"Really?"

"I don't know."

"I never ask about such trivial things, but does it have anything to do with them being poisoned by Zhao Yuanzhi?"

Pei Yonghan walked out and looked at the three corpses on the ground.

After looking at it, he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.

As he said, he never asks about such trivial things, and it is normal.

"It's really unrelated, the official is just curious."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

How can it be irrelevant, it has a big relationship.

"Then how is Fang Assassin going to judge Zhao Yuanzhen?"

Pei Yonghan smiled slightly and said indifferently.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, because the person he sent to find out the source of the poison also returned.

"Governor, the people have been brought."

Huang Da said respectfully.

He was followed by a fat shopkeeper.

Many of the people present knew him, a shopkeeper who bought medicine in the city.

Pei Yonghan watched, his smile slowly disappeared, and he looked deeply at the shopkeeper who was brought.

Fang Yuan is also powerful enough, with such sufficient manpower, he can investigate such information so quickly.

"Please, meet the state!"

The shopkeeper who sold the medicine saluted Fang Yuan.

"These three people, and this medicine bottle, do you know each other?"

Fang Yuan nodded and said indifferently.

He walked over and handed the medicine bottle to the shopkeeper who sold the medicine.

"Recognize, recognize, this is a sausage."

"The bearded man bought it."

The shopkeeper who sold the medicine looked carefully at the bottle, looked at the three dead bodies at the scene, and finally pointed out.

Of the three deceased, two were younger, and one was a little older, with a longer beard, and was the eldest son of the old woman.

When the words fell, everyone at the scene was in an uproar again, and Zhao Yuanzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, they committed suicide, not Zhao Yuanzhi forced him to take poison.

"Are you sure?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Sure."

"I also heard him say: Finally leaving a sum of money for the old lady, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death."

"Lord Thorn Shi, I, we sell medicine, I don't care what customers use it for, I won't be implicated, right?"

The shopkeeper who sold the medicine nodded solemnly.

But in the end, he was a little flustered and looked at Fang Yuan in a daze.

When everyone heard this, there was another uproar, and the old woman's body trembled heavily, and she looked back at Da Cai.

"Did you hear everything?"

"They weren't killed by Zhao Yuanzhen, but someone wanted to blame them!"

Fang Yuan waved his hand, signaling that he could step aside.

Then he walked to the steps of the steps of the Zhao Mansion and looked at the people present.

In the end, Fang Yuan's gaze stayed on Liu Yongshou and Pei Yonghan.

"Fang Tingshi said this, the old man didn't agree very much."

"Is it possible that Dacai himself wants to wronged Zhao Yuanzhen and wants to ask his wife for compensation?"

Liu Yongshou said loudly.

"I think it's very likely."

Pei Yonghan calmed his face and said loudly.

Other local families followed suit.

But at this time, not many people were willing to listen.

"What Liu Gong said is extremely true, but it is the official Meng Lang."

"Yes or no, this official will strictly investigate, and if it is found that someone really instructed it, it will not be tolerated!"

"But in today's matter, Zhao Yuanzhi is not guilty of poisoning and killing the three people."

Fang Yuan looked at Liu Yongshou and Pei Yonghan and said in a deep voice.

No, don't let yourself find evidence.

Otherwise, you will be in good hands.

"My son."

The old woman suddenly collapsed on the ground and crawled towards the riches on the ground.

"But Zhao Yuanzhen beat people first, and he needs to compensate Aunt Liu's consistent copper coins."

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Fang Yuan seemed to see the old woman's eyes finally burst into tears.

But it's not unimportant, people can't be resurrected after death, and the old woman and the big fortune are a matter between the two of them.

"Then what about being and peeing around my mansion?"

Zhao Yuanzhi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

He has objections and grievances about the fine.

Before he was sure of poisoning, he didn't dare to complain and resent.

But now, it's confirmed that he didn't poison him, so it's time to vent himself, right?

It's yourself who can't be offended, and it's yourself who loses money in the end, the key is that you were disgusted from the beginning!

"Then do you want to ask for money, or do you want to ask the old woman for money?"

Fang Yuan frowned and asked rhetorically.

"No one is looking for it, but no money is lost!"

Zhao Yuanzhi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Looking for a big fortune and asking for money, is it to let yourself go to hell to find it?

Ask the old woman if she wants to let herself be said to be bullying the elderly?

Fang Yuan's words made Zhao Yuan's original resentment even higher.

"Scum!"

"Get out of our Liaozhou!"

"We don't need people like you in Liaozhou!"

"Get out, get out, the foreign family get out of our Liaozhou!"

There was a sudden silence at the scene, but it soon became filled with righteous indignation.

The people glared at Zhao Yuanzhi and hated people like Zhao Yuanzhen.

All three of them died, still in his mansion.

Although he was not poisoned, he was tortured and poisoned.

It's disgusting that such an old woman doesn't lose money.

Zhao Yuanzhi was suddenly stunned, and then regretted what he just said.

He suddenly realized that Fang Yuan had just asked him to lose money, which was also to appease the resentment of the people.

But the words have already been said, Zhao Yuanzhi will not change it again, and directly throw the contradiction to Fang Yuan to deal with.

If Fang Yuan still wanted them to stay in the foreign family, it would definitely help him, Zhao Yuanzhen figured this out.

"Okay, be quiet, be quiet for the official!"

Fang Yuan shouted loudly.

Ordered the people at the scene to be quiet.

It's really strange, are the local people so resistant to foreign families?

The purpose of introducing these families by himself is to improve Liaozhou and improve the living standards of the people.

But looking at the situation, they were very disgusted, otherwise they would not have been instigated so strongly by the local family.

In essence, it should be them xenophobic.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt that it was necessary to go back and let the state officials popularize the benefits of introducing foreign families.

Soon, the people at the scene were quiet again.

"Zhao Yuanzhen is justified in beating Dacai and others, but the imprisonment is unreasonable and violates Tang law."

"This official ordered you to compensate the old woman for two copper coins, or to be imprisoned pending trial, what objection do you have?"

Fang Yuan looked at Zhao Yuanzhi and said coldly.

"I, I'm willing to compensate!"

Zhao Yuanzhi trembled in his heart and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan changed the original compensation to two times, which was to warn himself.

The terrible history of Liaozhou Thorn, it seems that even if he has something to rely on, he can't be fearless.

That's right, there are so many ten foreign families, and there may be more in the future, how can Fang Yuan care about his own family?

Unless it is said that all the ten foreign families can unite into one force, it is possible to bargain with Fang Yuan.

"Old man, do you agree?"

Fang Yuan slowed down his voice and asked softly.

"I, I agree."

The old woman stopped crying, but her eyes were red, different from the beginning.

"Okay, Zhao Yuanzhen's beating and imprisonment is over, Zhao Yuanzhen, take the money out."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly and ordered.

Zhao Yuanzhi had no objection and asked the people in the house to go back and get the money.

More than 30 people in the Zhao Mansion kept watching, and when they saw that things had finally come to an end, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is still necessary to compensate two copper coins, it is a very, very good ending for the unjustly murdered.

Soon, the people of the Zhao Mansion took out two copper coins and walked in front of the old woman.

"Good, good, good"

The old woman's eyes lit up, and she trembled and took the two copper coins.

The two copper coins were not light, but the old woman seemed to be unable to pick them up when she just took them, and she was completely accustomed to them in a moment, and she felt a lot more energetic.

The dog watched from the sidelines and snorted coldly, feeling worthless for the dead fortune.

The old woman seemed to sense the problem, and the joy on her face changed rapidly, but her hands were tightly holding the copper coin.

Fang Yuan actually noticed this situation, but that wasn't something he should meddle with, let her go, he still had something to deal with.

"As Liu Gong said just now, whether Da Cai wants to wronged Zhao Yuanzhi or really wants to commit suicide, this official still needs to conduct a further investigation."

"Come on, escort the five of them back to the state capital for strict interrogation, and ask the old woman and Zhao Yuanzhen to go back to the state capital to make a record together, and the people at the scene will cooperate to make a record on the spot."

"This official is bound not to wronged anyone, and the real culprit behind the scenes must be found!"

Fang Yuan's face turned straight and he said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Jiu ordered people to surround the scene and not allow innocent people to leave.

Liu Yongshou's face changed, and he suddenly felt like he was lifting a stone and hitting his feet.

"I, I'm not convinced!"

"We didn't do anything, so why are you taking us back?"

The five young men who had already been surrounded shouted loudly.

They looked around, as if trying to break out.

"The official just asked the people present, and they all said that they heard from you."

"This official is curious, how did you know that Zhao Yuanzhen seized the big fortune of them?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately looked at the five young men.

He was also very dissatisfied with the five young people, and hated them very much.

From the beginning, they called on the people of Liaozhou to drive them out of Liaozhou.

And Fang Yuan said that he was very concerned about something, that is, how did they know that they had seized a fortune?

The people caught in the early hours of the morning, normal people are sleeping at that time, do they have tailwind ears or do they still have clairvoyance?

"Me, what we saw!"

The young man shouted loudly.

"I was arrested in the early hours of the morning, did you see it by the wind?"

Zhao Yuanzhi interjected.

Everyone was in an uproar and looked at the five young people curiously.

"I just happened to pass by and saw it!"

Another young man muttered.

"It's also quite a coincidence that five people passed by together."

"Tell me what you're going to do in the wee hours of the morning? Why did you pass by Zhao's Mansion? ”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The reason is too lame to hold up the table.

If you can't ask questions on the spot, you must be fine with torture in the state prison.

"I, we're just passing by, can't we do this?"

The young men panicked.

"Yes, the official didn't say no."

"So you go back with the official to cooperate with the investigation."

Fang Yuan waved his hand, and the state official immediately stepped forward to grab it.

"Let go of me!"

Several young men drank heavily.

wanted to break out, but was pushed to the ground and forcibly taken away.

"Liu Gong, don't be in a hurry to leave, cooperate with making a record."

Fang Yuan stopped Liu Yongshou and the others who wanted to leave.

"The old man is busy, so he doesn't have this time."

Liu Yongshou's face sank, and he said with a straight face.

"Didn't Liu Gong come to seek justice for the people of Liaozhou?"

"Now that you still need Liu Gong to leave, isn't Liu Gong really thinking about the people of Liaozhou?"

Fang Yuan immediately laughed.

It caused many people to look at this side.

"Naturally, it is for the people of Liaozhou."

Liu Yongshou's face sank and he said with a stiff smile.

When Fang Yuan said this, he could only stay and cooperate to make a record.

Otherwise, if you come here suddenly and leave suddenly, you will inevitably be gossiped.

"Old man, Patriarch Zhao, please take a trip to the Assassin's Mansion."

Fang Yuan smiled, ignored them anymore, looked at Zhao Yuanzhi and the old woman and said.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't speak, just nodded and left.

"I, am I going too?"

The old woman was a little worried, and squeaked.

"Yes, just ask."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

motioned for the governor to come and help her.

The governor wanted to take the two copper coins in her hand and help her get them.

But the old woman immediately dodged and wanted to take it herself, keeping up with Zhao Yuanzhen, and her steps were not slow.

"Bring the body back."

"If you find something unusual, take it back first."

Fang Yuan instructed Zheng Jiudao.

He wants to find out who instigated it?

After the order, Fang Yuan left.

"Let's go find other families."

Sun Zhaofu and Qian Jiacheng glanced at each other and said in a deep voice.
