One of the reasons why Qin Huan could not agree to the villagers' petition was that he suspected that Pu Hong had something to do with Cui Peng's case.

Pu Hong's words confirmed her guess, "That's right, Taoyuan Village is not governed, and the village ancestral hall handles its own affairs, and there must be the acquiescence of the county yamen, and the premise of this acquiescence is to pay the treasury, so Cui Peng can get a lot of income every month." ”

Shi Yi glanced at Pu Hong's corpse, "Cui Peng must be greedy enough to swallow elephants, asking for more and more money, so that Pu Hong killed him in a rage, he first left a letter to meet Cui Peng, and the two sides had a dispute in the pagoda, Pu Hong took advantage of his unspare dagger to stab him, and then sneaked into Cui's house, killed Cui Ying, and created the illusion of a curse!" ”

"Park Hong has a motive to kill and a condition." Qin Huan hugged his arms, and there was a faint sparkle in his eyes.

The official ran in from outside, "Lord Shi, the county lord, Pu Hong's house has been searched, and this account book has been found in his family's secret room." ”

The officials searched the Pu family last night, but there was no gain, this morning Park Hong cut himself, Shi Yi asked the officials to search carefully, and sure enough, they found that it was wrong.

Shi Yi took the account book and looked through it, "Sure enough, this is a record of the silver that Pu Hong gives to Cui Peng every month, the county lord, look at this number, from last year to last month, it has almost tripled, Pu Hong has a grudge, Cui Peng and Cui Ying were killed by him!" ”

"Who killed Cui Peng and Cui Peng?" A surprised voice came from outside, Sun Hongfu heard that Pu Hong was dead and rushed over to take a look, but he didn't want to be happy, and even the Cui family's case was solved.

"It's Pu Hong, the head of Taoyuan Village." Shi Yi repeated the ledger and Pu Hong's words last night.

Sun Hongfu was overjoyed, "County Lord, the people from the Yamen of our state capital came overnight, this will already go up the mountain, and in less than half a day, this group of thieves who are mining privately will be caught!" After finishing the meal in the afternoon, the lower officials can return to Beijing with the county lord to resume their lives! ”

Sun Hongfu has made this great contribution and has long been eager to try.

Shi Yi didn't look down on Sun Hongfu's flattery, but he also had plans to return to Beijing, "County Lord, we have been away from Beijing for a long time, you return to Beijing with Lord Assassin Shi, and leave the rest to me, and I will definitely be able to catch the group of thieves in the mountains." ”

Qin Huan took two steps outside and said to Sun Hongfu, "I have to rush back to the capital, and I have to prepare a fast horse for Master Shi." ”

"Xiaguan will do it!" Sun Hongfu walked out with great interest.

Shi Yi also thought that Qin Huan was going back to the capital, but she stopped him, "Pu Hong's son, I didn't seem to see him yesterday." ”

"Song Ping had a high fever last night, he took care of Song Ping didn't go to the village temple last night, I heard that after his father was arrested, he came to make trouble last night, and he has been driven away, so he doesn't know that Pu Hong is dead."

Pu Hong was arrested, as his son, Pu Hai was naturally suspected of being an accomplice, Shi Yi specially checked Pu Hai, and the reason why he was not arrested was that he was not involved in Pu Hong's affairs.

Shi Yi thought that Qin Huan was suspicious of Pu Hai, "This Pu Hai listens to the villagers, his personality is more introverted, he doesn't like to talk, and he usually doesn't participate much in the affairs of the village.

Although Song Ping's tea house can't sell much in the village, it does have some business outside, and the Pu family has a piece of land, which he uses to grow tea, and he may be the only one of the few people in the whole village who really grows tea.

The county lord, you ordered yesterday that those who followed Park Hong and Liu Youwan before, and who did not make a big mistake, can be exempted from punishment, although Park Hai is the son of Park Hong, he has not been involved in mining and Tashan, so I will not arrest him. ”

Qin Huan closed his eyes and recalled some pictures, "Shi Beize told me a little thing before, and I forgot about it. ”

Shi Yi was puzzled, "Second son, what did he say?" ”

Shi Beiyan was injured and was recuperating in Yangshan County at this time, Qin Huan only had a day later, and he missed the time when he discussed the case with him.

"If he was here, maybe Park Hong wouldn't have died." Qin Huan pursed his lower lip, "You have to go in the afternoon, you quickly find some people, and go to the Pu family with me." ”

Shi Yi was confused, but he still found someone.

Soon, they came to the courtyard of the Park family.

The Park family and the Song family are neighbors, and the courtyards of the two families are not gorgeous, but they are also neatly repaired.

Park Hai was taking care of the sick Song Ping, he heard the voice, walked out of the courtyard of the Song family, and when he saw the person, he was even more angry, picked up the shovel and came over to ask for someone.

"Let go of my father, what are you going to do to arrest me!" Park Hai's attitude towards these officials who searched his house twice was as bad as it was.

Shi Yi blocked him in front and was about to make a move on him, when Qin Huan spoke, "Your hand is injured." ”

Pu Hai swept her eyes and knew her identity, but he still had a bad attitude, "What's so strange about the hands that do farm work, a little injured." ”

The wound on his palm had already scarred, which did not affect his grip on the shovel, Qin Huan walked in front of him, "Where were you on the night of July 15th?" "This was the day Cui Peng and Cui Ying were killed.

Shi Yi was very sensitive to this day, and moved his gaze to her in confusion.

Pu Hai's eyes shook, and he directly lifted the shovel, Shi Yi was quick to move, drew his knife and knocked the shovel away, and kicked it in Pu Hai's chest.

Ordinary people should have fallen to the ground with this kick, but Park Hae has been doing farm work all year round and has a good body, so he took a few steps back and stopped.

The official quickly stepped forward and put the knife to his neck.

"Where were you on the night of July 15?" Qin Huan asked again, her tone aggravated, and this time there was a threat in her tone.

Park Hae replied angrily, "Sleep at home!" ”

He didn't look like he was lying, Shi Yi was confused, Qin Huan hooked his lips, "Your father will send a sum of money to the county order on the fifteenth of every month, but we have checked, he is in the village on the fifteenth of this month." ”

Park Hae was emotional when he heard about his father, but the knife was on his neck, and he was angry and had to speak, "My father's business, he won't let me touch it, and I don't know." ”

Qin Huan ripped off the bag around his waist, and there were some broken silver and a slender tea knife in the bag.

The tea leaves are pressed into tea cakes and are not easy to divide, so before making tea, you need to slowly pry the tea with a tea knife to peel off the tea leaves and wash them apart.

Tea knives are smaller and more slender than daggers, making them easy to use and carry, and people who deal with tea often carry them.

The moment Qin Huan pulled the scabbard away, a trace of coldness flashed in Pu Hai's eyes.

She closed the scabbard, and many things were already clear.

"Park Hong's crime is extremely evil, he is not a good person, but he is a good father, he may not care about adding two more lives to the crime, but the sky net is restored, it should be his crime that cannot be settled, it should not be the crime he bears, and it should not dissipate with his death."

She looked at Pu Hai and said word by word, "On the night of July 15, you are in Yangshan County!" ”
