Tongfu Inn, the method of exclusion continues.

"And the ladies of the house." Zhu Zhen continued: "My senior brother is a gentleman who abides by etiquette, and it is impossible for him to be abducted by them. ”

Hu Quan had already swept through these files before, and soon took away the confessions of Cao Shenzheng's wife, only daughter, two servants, two maids, and six people.

There are only six confessions left on the ground, but the sixth still has no intention of stopping.

"Exclude the cooks of Cao's politicians." He commanded in a deep voice. The cook is also incapable of luring the elder brother into the well.

You can't let Liu Shenzheng taste the saltiness of the food, isn't that nonsense?

"The two servants of his family, let's also rule them out for the time being." Zhu Zhen pondered for a moment and said:

"Although they had the ability to lead the senior brother to the well, when they were looking for someone later, so many officials were present, and as two servants, they shouted through the wall, 'Liu Meng, Liu Meng, has your master returned?' It seems to be very unruly. ”

"That's true." Hu Quan stroked his palm.

There are only three confessions left. As soon as Zhu Zhen stretched out his hand, Hu Quan hurriedly picked it up and offered it.

Zhu Zhen quickly flipped through it, and saw that the three of them were all officials of the Political Division, and the reason why they left the banquet hall during that time period was to go to the thatched house. The three of them said in unison that they had come back after going up to the hut and had not found anything unusual.

The sixth man flipped through his confession again and complained: "Why don't they have a specific time to enter and exit, it's good to arrange them in order." ”

"Your Highness, be content, this confession has been recorded in sufficient detail. If it weren't for the sensitive identity of Liu's participation in politics, the boss would not have recorded that they had never left the banquet hall. Hu Quan smiled bitterly.

"Wasn't Zeng Tai ordered to ask the case? Let him focus on the three men first, and ask them about the specific time when they will go out and come back. Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "If you ask clearly about the time when my senior brother disappeared, you should be able to rule out one or two." ”

"Okay, I'll pass it on to him." Hu Quan's expression was excited, the scope has been narrowed down so much, and it is not far from the truth.

~~

Should I say it or not, Xiong Qitai's execution is still very strong.

In the afternoon of the same day, he took the warrant of the Qin mission and came to the Yamen of the Judge.

"Yo, Uncle Xiong, you're here, what do you have to say?" Zeng Tai, who is possessed by the bar, has a posture of being liberated from nature.

"Hey, Lao Zeng, I didn't say you, which tendon did you make the wrong one, and you have to do it against Qincha?" Xiong Qitai said speechlessly.

"Alas, I can't help myself." Zeng Tai let out a long sigh.

"Understood." Xiong Qitai nodded, thinking that he was referring to the crown prince. Xin said that Shen Liben was really good, and the contradiction between the prince and Hu Xiang continued to Jiangxi.

"Understand, we people, it seems that the following is a great deal of people. But in the eyes of the adults in Kyori, they are just pawns they use to fight. He patted Zeng Tai's arm sympathetically.

"Really." Zeng Tai nodded, stroked his short white beard and said, "Look, Qin Cha has only been here for a few days, and my beard is half white." ”

"Each other, each other. I'm not having a good time either. Xiong Qitai sighed and said: "I can't write two Thai characters in one stroke, so we brothers have to help each other in the same boat." ”

"How?" Zeng Tai asked.

"I'll try to speak for you so that you don't get too much blame." Xiong Qitai said: "Just like you and him today, don't you rely on the foolish brother to make peace, so you didn't make a big fuss?" ”

"Thank you." Zeng Taipi smiled and said with a smile.

"Then don't you take it so seriously? Let's cut through the mess quickly and quickly expose this case. Xiong Qitai followed the temptation and said: "Send the Qincha away early, let's do the right thing early." ”

"I've got to be able to make a deal on my side." Zeng Tai said in a muffled voice.

"That's for sure, I'm not going to distort the case, I'm just trying to speed it up." Xiong Qitai said with a smile: "Lord Qincha also means this, he asked Brother Yu to join in and help you ask the case together." ”

"Will the second division be tried? Wouldn't that be slower? Zeng Tai opened the bar and said, "Let's try it separately." Half of the trial on one side, so fast. ”

"Oh, it's a case of accidentally falling into a well, as for the baht, must it be compared? What do you say is what. Xiong Qitai was speechless, and then proposed: "You ask the officials according to the judge, and how about our political secretary asking the rest of the people?" ”

"This ......" Zeng Tai's soul was touched, and Xiong Qitai suddenly felt uneasy and kind.

He secretly wondered, could it be that the murderer was hiding in those idle people? It must be so, otherwise how could he arrange it like this?

"It's better for your company to ask the official." Zeng Tai said. "It's all colleagues, and it's undignified to let the legal department interrogate."

"Ah, there's no need for this, after all, you're more professional......" Xiong Qitai excused.

"That's it." Zeng Tai became more and more resolute and said: "I believe in the level of the feudal division. ”

"Well, well." Xiong Qitai held back a smile and nodded solemnly.

In fact, this is the result he wants, and he knows that Zeng Tai will definitely do it, so he deliberately does the opposite, and sure enough.

~~

Over there, Xiong Qitai relied on the warrant to bring the officials who were sent for questioning back to the Yamen of the Political Secretary.

Here, Zeng Tai rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start interrogating those idle people, who were bound to find out the murderer.

interrogated until dark, Chang Sui quietly entered the interrogation room, and whispered in his ear: "Aimu Seven or Eight Nebula is here again." ”

Zeng Tai nodded, motioned for his subordinates to continue questioning, and then walked out of the interrogation room unhurriedly and returned to the back house to meet the visitor.

This time Diga didn't come, it was his uncle who came.

"Dare to ask Uncle Nan, what are your orders?" Zeng Tai's tone was full of the temperament of a good man.

"Those people involved in the case, etc., are you interrogating?" Hu Quan frowned and asked.

"Yes, I'm trying it, one by one, I'm afraid I'll have to stay up all night tonight." Gong Jing said: "It's really bitter." ”

"That's great, you don't have to judge everything." Hu Quan took a pen and wrote down three names, pushed the paper to Gong Jing and said, "Just focus on these three first." ”

"Don't say it sooner......" Zeng Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and the workload was much lighter.

Saying that, he borrowed the light to look at the three names on the paper, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Don't say it earlier......"

"You complain so much, is it necessary to say it twice?" Hu Quan said unhappily.

"No, two 'don't say it earlier' mean two things." Zeng Tai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The first one didn't say earlier to express my resentment at doing useless work. The second is that the uncle said that it was late, and these three people had been taken away by Xiong Qitai. ”

Hu Quan was furious when he heard this: "What the hell? ”

"Alas...... Don't mention it, the lower officials are lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot. Zeng Tai also knew that he had been fooled, and said with an expression full of stool: "Xiong Qitai said that he would be tried, but I said that it would be tried separately, and he said that I would try the official, and I would let him be tried, so he let him take people away......"

"I'll give you a lung." Hu Quan rolled his eyes. "You big mallet!"
