Chapter 29 Chapter 29 The Witness Was Poisoned

"Brother Luo, it's been three days, and the Peng family hasn't talked to you about it?"

After the groundbreaking ceremony, on the way back, Li Duyu and Luo Xianling talked while walking, and the others followed from afar with great interest.

"I searched twice, and once gave me a thousand taels of silver, and I drove them out; Yesterday afternoon, I was given three thousand taels of silver, and I drove them away. ”

"I told them that money is a trivial matter, and I have to give these two mountains to me so that I can develop them and benefit the people, but they directly refused. It seems that if you want these two mountains from them, you have to put a lot of effort into it. ”

This is normal!

Everyone regards the land as their life, and they can pass on the family business to their children and grandchildren.

If you don't have to, how can you sell it, let alone give it away.

Moreover, I only gave you a mountain a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to ask for two more today.

Didn't you say that you were going to swallow me whole the day after tomorrow?

"Looks like we're going to have to work on it."

Li Duyu sighed and reminded: "However, in order to prevent the Peng family from taking risks, my side will increase propaganda, and it depends on whether the Peng family can withstand the pressure of public opinion." ”

"Brother Luo, you'd better strengthen your defenses."

"Defense? Are you saying that the Peng family dares to rob the prison? ”

"That's not it, I'm afraid they'll kill people."

Li Duyu pondered for a moment, and said, "You think, as long as we kill the Peng housekeeper, not only will we not be able to get anything, but the Peng family can also take the opportunity to find someone to ask for, don't you want to sit on wax?" ”

"Don't worry, I've been prepared for this for a long time, and I'll make sure they don't have a chance, and it's ......."

At this moment, a servant came on horseback and wanted to mumble something in Luo County's ear, but was stopped by Luo County.

"I'm brothers with Boss Li, don't hide anything, just say it!"

"Yu Xianzun, that killer is dead."

Luo Xianling was furious: I just bragged that it was foolproof, and you told me that the witness was dead?

This face is really crackling!

Although what the two of them just said was the protection of Peng's housekeeper, they ignored the security of the killer.

When they came to the county jail, they looked at the killer's corpse, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

"County Zun, lavender has been dropped in his dish."

Although lavender is a chronic poison and a bit bitter, it is difficult for people to detect when mixed in vegetables. Eat it, basically helpless.

Luo Xianling and Master Tian glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's thoughts: the Peng family was taking a risk and challenging the bottom line of the government.

Any dynasty that dares to poison key witnesses in prison is to challenge the bottom line of those in power.

Once you sit down, don't say that you only have an iron relationship with the government, even if you have an iron relationship with the emperor, they can't protect you - if you are not beheaded, all officials have to sleep with their eyes open.

"Is anyone coming to visit him today?"

Everyone said no.

Let Luo Xianling and Li Duyu immediately confirm: There is a mole!

Li Duyu pulled Master Luo County and Tian aside.

"Brother Luo, if you don't find out this traitor quickly, you won't be able to do anything."

"County Zun, Boss Li is right. This traitor dares to attack the key witness today, and tomorrow, he will dare to attack you, and you have to get rid of this traitor as soon as possible, so that everyone can do things with peace of mind. ”

"Also, the Peng family actually dared to bribe the jailers and take risks, it seems that they have made up their minds to fight you to the death, and you have to guard against it."

Li Duyu pondered: I really don't know how you talked to the Peng family? It can force them to this point.

Luo Xian Ling also thought of the evil consequences, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Check! This matter must be investigated to the end, and if this traitor is not found, the official will not give up! ”

Li Duyu on the side sighed and said, "Although the Peng family took a risk, in this way, all the problems faced by the Peng family were solved. Brother Luo, is there a way to continue to detain Butler Peng? ”

"How? Hum! Do I need a reason to lock up a criminal who bought a murderer? ”

Is this being?

However, although these words are overbearing, if you really want to count them, there is really a reason to continue to imprison Steward Peng: everything when he passed the court before cannot be said to be a housekeeper.

Of course, the Peng family will definitely take the opportunity to appeal, and at that time, I am afraid that they will have to release the Peng housekeeper due to insufficient evidence.

Otherwise, the Peng family will report the matter to the government, and the Luo County order will be criticized, and it will be difficult to investigate a crime of negligence.

Immediately, Luo County ordered all the jailers to gather in the backyard.

The twenty-five jailers all knew that the stakes were high, and whoever dared not to go would be the most suspicious.

Therefore, even the jailers who went home to rest rushed back to the county government one by one.

Looking at the jailers all over the yard, there were many discussions, none of them showed abnormality, and Luo Xianling's face was a little dark.

Master Tian took the servants and interrogated the jailers separately, but they still had no clue, and everyone had a reasonable excuse or witness.

Looking at Luo Xianling's darkening face, he drank tea and sulked.

Li Duyu sighed: It seems that you have to do it yourself, otherwise, your plan will be disrupted.

"Brother Luo, can you let the little brother try?"

Luo County ordered Yixi: "Do you have a way?" ”

But I thought in my heart: I can't help it, what can you do as a businessman? However, being idle is also idle, and it doesn't matter if you give it a try.
