I'm Liu Bei.

"Finally found it." Xu Shu smiled and sighed lightly.

"Where was the fish tank?" I asked eagerly.

The middle-aged woman said to take us immediately.

Back in the back garden, I stopped in front of a large hole that had been dug in the center of the garden. The woman pointed to the pit and said, "This is it." ”

The pit was freshly dug and, judging by the color of the soil, it should have happened just before we came.

I squatted down and smelled the soil at random, only the fragrance of the earth, not the fragrance of wine, let alone the fragrance of Zhao wine. I couldn't help but stand up and said, "What about the fish tank?" ”

"I was smashed by the housekeeper early this morning and thrown into the pond behind the courtyard."

Led by the woman, we rushed out the back door of the yard to the pond in her mouth.

"Knife, come and meet your lord." A middle-aged woman calls to a teenager washing farm tools across the pond. When the young man heard this, he put down his work and immediately ran to him and knelt down and kowtowed. "Little knife to meet the adults."

The boy was very clever, dressed in coarse linen, and obeyed the command of the woman.

Xu Shu asked, "What are you doing there?" ”

"Small...... The small one is washing a shovel. ”

I had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is the shovel used to dig a hole in the back garden?" ”

"The steward ordered the little one to dig it, and let the little one throw all the dirt into the pond. Everything is done by the housekeeper and the little ones, not the small things. ”

I immediately ran across the pond, hoping that some dirt would be left on the shovel. But it has been washed cleanly. Whether there is the fragrance of Zhao wine on the bottom of those soils has become a puzzle. I sighed and threw the shovel into the head of the pond, making a big splash.

Xu Shu seemed to understand my concerns, and I had carefully discussed this case with him yesterday. "My lord, this little guy is clever. His clever work must have been incomplete, and it is not known that the path he took to carry the earth had fallen into the dirt. Why don't we go and find out? ”

I yelled at the knife, "Did you throw all the dirt you dug into the pond?" ”

Xiaodao's nervous look made Xu Shu force him to ask, "If you don't speak, Ben Cheng will put you in prison." ”

The woman scolded from the side: "You who has been killed, hurry back to the words of the adults." Don't connect your mother. ”

The knife kowtowed one after another: "The little one is lazy, only half of it is thrown away, and the other half of the dirt is hidden in the back garden by the small one." Please spare your life, please spare your life. ”

……

An inconspicuous corner of the back garden is littered with dirt that smells of Zhao wine. I threw away the dirt in my hand and looked at Xu Shu and smiled.

Finally found it - this back garden was the first scene of Debrey's murder. In other words, the murderer is a person in this house.

I asked the middle-aged woman standing next to me, "Have you seen any suspicious people in the house?" ”

The middle-aged woman and the knife shook her head.

"Who is the Zhao wine bought in the house for, you always know this, right?"

The woman was frightened, and said weakly: "The old slave has only seen Sanliang steal wine and drink." ”

The donkey's lips are not in the horse's mouth! However, I still thank them, without them, how could I have this harvest when I came to Jianfu today? When the servants returned, I ordered them to go home, and brought the knife with the women. Without waiting for the stone page to come out and send it off, I left the house and went straight back to the yamen.

As soon as he arrived at the Yamen, the housekeeper of Jian Mansion sent Yanjiu over. And he said that he would invite me back to the house for dinner. Let the errand who accompanied him just now go with him, and Xu Shu Baili Jian and I stayed in the county office, and at the same time rewarded these excellent swallow wines to the other errands who stayed in the yamen.

In the back hall, Guan Yu's red face became more and more popular because of today's discovery. "What are you going to do with the knife and the old slave woman?"

"The two of them provided such an important clue that as soon as we left, they must have been killed. Let the two of them live in the yamen temporarily, and the safety is in charge of Baili Jian. ”

"Why doesn't my eldest brother assign me a job?" Guan Yu asked.

"You have more important tasks." Then he talked about it in detail. Guan Yu and Xu Shu went down to prepare.

After a busy morning, when he was about to eat, the errand servant reported, and Tang She Zi Jasmine asked to see him.

It's really unusual. Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west today? I ordered someone to lead me to the back hall, and I went to the back hall alone.

In the back hall, Zi Jasmine, who was not masked, changed into a regular lady dress, with her hair coiled on her head and a hosta inserted, dressed in Hanfu, and her exquisite figure was displayed in front of her, which was particularly amazing.

"Is today the end of the world, the famous purple jasmine in the rivers and lakes actually changed her purple clothes and took off her veil, wanting to taste the novelty before the earth exploded?" I sat down at the table and said. Motioned for her to sit down.

"Miss Ben doesn't want to come to see you, an adulterer. If it weren't for the entrustment of others, he would have been lazy to come here to break the yamen. Zi Jasmine's face was displeased, and although she said that she didn't want to come, her eyes were looking around.

"It's really flattering that this yamen can still enter the jade eyes of Miss Tang. Since you are a lewd person, then I will answer this sentence today, so as not to make you a person who speaks wildly, Miss. I took two steps forward, my eyes fixed on her breasts, salivating.

"Don't look at it!" Purple Jasmine hurriedly took two steps back. "If you look again, Miss Ben will gouge out your eyes."

"You are wearing these clothes, and my eyes have no perspective ability, you have to see these external clothes, how can you see the spring light inside."

"A dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth! Who knows what nasty things you're thinking in your mind. Purple Jasmine was a little angry.

"How do you say that about your future husband? Besides, it's not like I've never seen that place. "I saw it clearly when I stopped her bleeding at the flyover.

"You rascal!" Purple Jasmine scolded and waved her palm.

I grabbed it with my hand. If she wants to fight, my fifth-order martial arts level won't be able to respond at all.

Looking at her charming face, I suddenly had an urge to be in the secret room of the Giant Horse Gang.

"Smack!"

The right cheek sturdily slapped her flying. I looked at each other, and her eyes suddenly changed and said, "You were rude first, you can't blame me." ”

Holding her slender hands in her hands, she didn't struggle. Looking at Zi Jasmine's pretty face, he couldn't get angry anyway. I couldn't help but let go of my hand, I sat back at the desk and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"There is someone waiting for you in the Tang Society."

"Who is it that actually asked you to come here to make an announcement?"

"To go or not to go, whatever you want. The words have been brought, farewell. Zi Jasmine made a hand gesture and turned to leave.

In this world, only a woman's heart is unpredictable. Announcing such a trivial matter, just send a maid, why bother to go through it yourself?

When I got out of the back hall, I met Bailiru coming with food. This meal must have been made by her, so in order not to give her a chance to stay with me to eat, she preemptively said: "It's just in time, I'm going to Tang Society." ”

"Can you eat before you go? This is made for you by Xiaoru herself. ”

"I'm not hungry now, how can I eat?"

Bailiru said: "Okay, I'll go too." ”

"You stay in the county office, and I'll go back when I go."

"You said you were with me today, why doesn't talking count?"

"Suddenly there is a big case to be handled, and I will accompany you after the case is completed. Besides, if you show up on the street, the eyes of all the men in the city will be attracted to you, how will you let the other women on the street live? Aren't you going to jump off the city tower in shame? ”

"You're going to talk nonsense." Bailiru pursed her lips, her face flushed. "Okay then, you go, I'm not going. These meals were delivered to. ”

"The is recuperating from his wounds, so don't eat. You send it to the Hundred Miles Sword. He was busy and hungry. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but curse himself, and he also learned his tone to speak.

"You've got to come back early, I'm going to make you a snack."

"Okay, I'll be back early." As I spoke, I immediately flashed out of the county office and went straight to the Tang Society. Pedestrians on the street saluted one after another, only to find that they had forgotten to take off their official uniforms. I chose a random clothing store and changed into a convenient clothes. The shopkeeper's eyes have long been frightened**.

"Go to the county office and ask the county for money. By the way, I sent this official uniform over. If you don't want money, tomorrow the officials will arrest you and put you in jail. ”

When I entered the Tang Society, I was received by another maid. When I asked, I found out that Aunt Mei had already left.

Go up to the second floor, order a jar of Zhao wine, a pound of beef, and enjoy it alone. All the while waiting for someone looking for me to show up.

There are not many people in today's Tang Society, and the speech desk is not open, but the elegant piano room is still there.

Without taking a few sips of wine, Cao Cao Jujue walked over. "Liu County Order, I've been waiting for a long time."

"What is the matter with my lordship?" I got up and said.

"I heard that you were looking into a case, so I went out of my way to find a witness for you."

"How do you know?"

"It's all over the city, don't I know?" Cao Cao said that he drank a jue, and his expression was extremely chic and gloomy. As a military captain, it could not be an accident that he left the capital at this time and came to Anxi, where the situation was complicated.

Cao Cao sat down and said with a smile: "Liu Xianling is worried about why I appeared here, why I helped you investigate the case, and how did he investigate this case, right?" ”

I was stunned, it was worthy of Cao Cao, it was too powerful. Immediately arched his hand and said: "Your adult guessed all right." ”

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and took a piece of beef in the plate, pointed at it and said, "You eat alone, you have to chew and swallow slowly, when will you be able to eat such a plate of meat?" The more people you share, the faster you eat. As he spoke, Cao Cao stuffed the beef into his mouth and chewed it heavily.

That's what you say. Comparing case handling to eating meat, he meant to help me speed up the case in hand.

I also sat down and said, "One more person to share, and you won't be able to eat enough." ”

Cao Cao's index finger pointed at me and said, "You, although I have eaten half of you, I will bring you something more delicious." ”

I looked up in surprise.

Cao Cao's face suddenly became serious, and he took out a pale yellow wrap from his arms and pressed it heavily on the seat with a "snap".

Cao Cao slowly let go of his hand, and his eyes motioned for me to pick it up and take a look. I secretly couldn't refuse, so I picked it up and slowly unfolded it, it was a map. The pale yellow cloth is embroidered with five big characters: "Map of the Territory of the Han Dynasty".
