I'm Liu Bei.

"This clue is of no great use, and it doesn't matter if you lose it. The most important thing is to put on a play to show that we believe the housekeeper is suicidal. In this way, the murderers of Jiang Dashun's family and Dai Bray will definitely not be able to sit still. If he wants to frame Zhongshan Mansion, he must have another big move. Then it's our chance. As I spoke, I motioned for Guan Zhang to put down the hanging butler's body.

Guan Yu said: "Do you need to cooperate with Huang Gai and them to arrest the murderer together?" ”

"No, you don't. If the murderer represents the existence of a third force, then on the surface, we may need to unite with He Jin's forces to fight, but in fact, there is no need. The third force wants to frame Zhongshan Mansion, which shows that they are opposed to He Jin's forces. Just now you asked who was the murderer of the housekeeper, if my estimate is correct, it was His own people in He Jin's forces who did it. As for who it is, there is not enough evidence yet. So now it's equivalent to dog-eat-dog between the two forces, let's just wait to see a good show. As the so-called snipe and clam compete, the fisherman wins. ”

Zhang Fei said: "What my brother said is very true. So the housekeeper's case is not investigated? ”

I nodded, "Don't check it out." ”

"What about the previous case? We don't have any new clues yet. ”

"Don't worry, we haven't used up the old clues yet, so there's no need to rush to find new ones. Have you forgotten about Zhao Jiu? I replied, "It's only been a day." There will always be new clues, and we will definitely be able to find them if we look for them, and this point is not in a hurry. Besides, that swordsman will still commit crimes. The more cases he does, the more clues we have. It will be easier to find him. It's just that there will be more innocent victims, and that's the only thing I can't bear. ”

Guan Yu persuaded: "To do big things, there are small benevolence and great benevolence. What you do is great benevolence, so you naturally have to start from the overall situation. These small deaths are unavoidable. If it weren't for you, the big brother would have died. ”

Zhang Fei also said: "What the second brother said is very true. The eldest brother can't give up these lives, even if it's my life, if the eldest brother needs it, I will give it at any time. Besides, the people who are going to be killed by anyone who takes the world are too interesting to generalize. ”

Killing is another name for troubled times. I exclaimed, "I know the severity. Open the door and let them in. Then he admonished: "It's not that he kills, it's that he commits suicide." ”

Zhang Fei opened the door, called Huang Gai and others in, and began to examine the body.

Huang Chao looked at me, his eyes flickering.

I said, "Most likely, suicide." ”

Huang Chao was stunned for a moment and said, "Adults also think it's suicide?" ”

"Do you think the housekeeper committed suicide?"

Huang Chao said: "Just now outside, I interrogated a few slaves who were good with the housekeeper. The housekeeper is a good gambler and owes a lot of gambling debts that he can't repay, so his death should be short-sighted. ”

I pretended to agree, "This clue is important. ”

After the inspection, he reported: "My lord, the white butler was killed by him." ”

I'm shocked, how did this work become so powerful today! Hasn't he always been stupid?

Zuo said loudly: "The white butler was indeed strangled to death, my lord, you see, there are two different strangulation marks on his neck." ”

There are two strangulation marks on the butler's neck, one thick and one thin. The thick one is as thick as the rope on the beam.

I laughed, "It's very simple, the rope broke when I committed suicide for the first time, so naturally there were two different strangulation marks." If you don't believe me, you can see, a thick and thin, thin rope was thrown, so now what is left on the beam is a thick rope. ”

He said: "The thin one can't be a strangulation mark from hanging." ”

I interrupted sharply: "If it wasn't for the strangulation marks of hanging, okay, I ordered you to be an official for three days and find out the real culprit." Otherwise, you will be condemned for misjudgment. ”

He pretended to be frightened and did not answer.

I said, "It's good to do your best." But sometimes you get punished for making mistakes. If you are so lawless and random guessing, your knowledge is for guessing? Could it be that my spiritism will be worse than your eyesight? Outrageous! ”

He bowed his head and said, "The villain doesn't dare." ”

"Okay, it's none of your business. Go back and work hard. Where is the king of the Zhongshan Festival? The last sentence was addressed to Huang Gai.

Huang Gai said: "In the hall, King Jie said to let you hurry up. ”

"I'm going to pay a visit. always said that he wanted to come, but he didn't have the kung fu, but today he was forced to come by the case. You two are here, don't wander around. It's not good to break someone else's fish tank. I said to Guan Zhang and walked out of the house.

In the lobby, as soon as I stepped into the door, I saw the king of Zhongshan Festival sitting in the north wearing a formal dress, with a smile on his face, and immediately got up and said: "Liu County Order, this king is waiting." ”

I waved my hand and replied, "Xiaguan Anxi County ordered Liu Bei to see your lord." ”

Liu Jing said: "No need to be polite, sit and sit." "I was amazed by his extreme enthusiasm." How's the housekeeper's death check? ”

"I don't know what difficulties the housekeeper has encountered recently, it's a pity that he actually thinks of committing suicide." I pretended to be forgetful. This is to reassure Huang Chao on the side, with my character, it is impossible to trust others so easily. In this way, he will think that I am being teased by them, but still have scheming.

"Yes. The king heard that the housekeeper owed a lot of gambling debts. He is the uncle of the second brother of this king, as long as he speaks, this king will definitely help with all his might. Now that there is such an accident, when the second brother returns from his study tour, how can this king explain to him. King Jie's face was very sad.

"This kind of thing is unpredictable, please mourn by the way."

"Life is unsatisfactory for the best out of ten, and it is really not advisable to find a short-term view when encountering a little setback. This king is also exhausted now, so you can go on official business. ”

Dizzy, the death of a non-direct relative is exhausted, there must be a ghost in my heart. It's very likely that I'm afraid that I'll see a flaw after a long time with me.

"It's the king of festivals. The lower official retired. ”

I left Zhongshan Mansion alone and ordered Huang Gai and the others to stay and dispose of the corpse to get rid of their surveillance. Guan Zhang followed from behind.

Zhang Fei whispered in a low voice: "There are fish tanks and fish grass in the garden, but there is no smell of Zhao wine next to it." ”

I said, "How?" I guess that's right. The real murderer is not a housekeeper, and he has nothing to do with Zhongshan Mansion. ”

Guan Yu said: "The clue of the fish grass has been broken, and only Zhao Jiu has not been checked." ”

"Let's go, go to the Tang Society."

******

The sound of the piano in the Tang Society is still elegant.

It's close to lunchtime, and there are already more customers. is also sitting in the wine passage area on the second floor, and the maid is also served by Aunt Mei under the pseudonym of Cai Wenji. She poured her full weapon and said, "My lord has come every day these days, is it because you have taken a fancy to our girl here?" ”

I smiled and said, "I like it, but I don't know it, so I'll ask Aunt Mei to introduce me another day." ”

Cai Wenji said: "I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"What's wrong? Could it be that the conditions for your girls here are extremely high, and even a handsome young magistrate like me is not in the mate selection area? ”

"We're just ordinary girls, and we haven't thought about climbing high. It's just that I'm leaving Anxi tomorrow. ”

I said: "There is no banquet in the world, I wish you and Brother Wei a smooth journey." ”

"Thank you for your blessings. If you can, go to Hedong County for a glass of thin wine. ”

"Oh? You and Brother Wei are going to have a happy event? Congratulations! I bowed my hand and congratulated.

Cai Wenji returned the salute shyly.

"What about Brother Wei? It can't be that you haven't woken up yet, right? ”

"Your Excellency guessed right, he's still sleeping in his room. I drank too much last night and didn't wake up with a hangover. ”

"Does Captain Cao live here?"

"Senior brother went out early in the morning. said that it was looking for the taste of Zhao wine. ”

I was slightly startled and said, "Looking for the taste of Zhao wine?" ”

I don't understand the meaning either. Could it be that there are other houses in Anxi County that sell Zhao wine? ”

Guan Yu said: "In the entire Anxi County, there is no second place to sell Zhao wine except for your Tang Society. ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Is your Zhao wine here allowed to be taken out?" ”

Cai Wenji replied: "As long as it is a guest's request, the Tang Society will accept everything." ”

In this way, the murderer bought Zhao wine from here. I said, "Is there a record of your Zhao wine for sale?" ”

"Absolutely. The bookkeeper is required to keep the accounts for the month-end reconciliation. ”

I excitedly said, "Great. Tell your shopkeeper that I want to check the sales record of Zhao liquor this month. ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go and ask her out."

A moment later, a purple dress came accompanied by several maids.

My eyes widened, and although the man in purple wore a veil, I was sure that he was Purple Jasmine. Not only can you see it from the appearance, but you can also identify the identity of the person in purple from the faint jasmine fragrance you smell.

I joked: "The injury healed very quickly, why did you come to Anxi, are you reluctant to me?" ”

Cai Wenji was stunned and said, "You know? ”

"The famous purple jasmine at the top of the rivers and lakes, of course I remember." I will "remember" two of them very loudly, signaling that Purple Jasmine has another meaning: I remember that I was the first man to take off her veil.

Zi Jasmine immediately said angrily: "Hmph, you still have the face to come here to drink." ”

Zhang Fei patted Xi and said angrily: "You girl is so bold, dare to talk to my brother like this, be careful that I tear you in half." ”

Zi Jasmine said: "No one dares to spread wild in the Tang Society, Zhang Fei, our account, Miss Ben wants to settle the matter with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen men immediately rushed up to the second floor, all holding swords in their hands and wearing strips of white cloth on their heads. This is the hallmark of a disciple of the Tang Sect. At the same time, a rough man flashed behind them, it was Pan Feng.

I said, "It's really a narrow road." Third brother, even if you let go of your hands, there are public funds for breaking things, and I will reimburse them all. ”

Zhang Fei was stunned: "What is reimbursement?" ”

"If something is broken, the county government will give money."

Zhang Fei grinned and said, "You guys are not good enough for me to practice." You are the master of the Tang Society, send a message, let them fight with me, and by the way, put an end to Tao Fang's matter. ”

Pan Feng shouted: "The is not ashamed. Miss, if you call here......"

Zi Jasmine said: "You are not opponents. ”

Pan Feng said: "Miss, the Tang Sect is powerful in the world, and the Tang Society is the industry of the Tang Sect, please allow the little ones to do their part for the Tang Sect." ”

Zi Jasmine said: "Okay, anyway, there is compensation from the county government for breaking things." But if you lose, the Tang Society won't give you the medical expenses. ”

Pan Fenglang said: "The little ones automatically ask for war, so naturally they don't dare to enjoy the public funds of the Tang Society. He immediately turned around and yelled at Zhang Fei, "Brothers, let that repay the name of our Tang Sect." ”
