Chapter 32: Intrigues
And so it was.
Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief and had an answer in his heart.
The assumption is correct.
Make bold assumptions and verify carefully.
In this era, there are not so many rules for criminal investigation, as long as there is reasonable suspicion, people can be arrested and executed.
If you have a confession, you can close the case.
Chain of evidence or something, there is the best.
It's okay if you don't.
Just highlight a simple and crude.
Of course.
This sentence cannot be taken as evidence.
But it supports his hypothesis.
made him even more convinced that the murderer was Wang Yong, the county soldier.
Piao Piao girl and Shui Qing are both girls in Qunfanglou, even if they have no feelings for each other, they also have the mentality of a rabbit dying and a fox being sad, and they will not lie about this matter.
What's more, his previous series of behaviors were to pave the way for this sentence.
Moreover, he used extremely clever words.
did not ask Wang Yong if he was the murderer.
Didn't ask who killed Shui Qing.
Instead, assuming that Wang Yong was the murderer, he directly asked Wang Yong why he was able to get away with it.
If in Piaopiao's girl's heart, Wang Yong is not a murderer, but an ordinary guest, and her first reaction when she heard this was doubt.
On the contrary, as long as Miss Piaopiao believes that Wang Yong is also a murderer, no matter how she answers, it can support the assumption that "Wang Yong is the murderer".
Unless, the Piao Piao girl can still maintain a very fast reaction and give the wrong answer to mislead him even when she is drunk and tortured to death.
Well, obviously, there are no unless.
In the world, most of the so-called unsolved cases are actually very simple, and the difficulty lies in the execution.
Knowing who the murderer is, but not executing it, won't it become an unsolved case?
But.
This case is indeed difficult to handle.
Behind Wang Yong stood Yang Jintang, the county lieutenant.
The county lieutenant is the third-in-command, and his status is even below the county commander, but the real power is no worse than the county order, because the county lieutenant has soldiers in his hands, as few as five hundred, and as many as three or five thousand county soldiers.
The county soldiers are also the only army under the control of the local government, responsible for the duties of law and order, suppression of bandits, defense of the city, and elimination of demons in the jurisdiction.
Local garrisons at and above the county level are under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the localities have no right to command.
Therefore, the county lieutenant seems to be of a low grade, but his actual status and influence are very great.
Many county governors even have more influence than local county magistrates.
So.
Yang Jintang really wants to intervene, this case is really difficult to handle.
Xu Taiping frowned secretly.
How can we bypass Yang Jintang and arrest Wang Yong?
Or, find a way to get Yang Jintang to give up Wang Yong?
Xu Taiping thought hard about countermeasures.
The fluttering girl cried urgently: "Master Xu, you, you trick me......"
Xu Taiping looked at the fluttering girl with pear blossoms and rain.
Sigh.
Gently wipe the tears from the girl's face.
Comforting softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is justice for your sisters." ”
"In this world, there is justice?"
"Where there is a master, there is justice."
"Master Xu, you are just an insignificant little catcher, although you have the name of God Catcher, but after all, you have no grade, no rank, no backer, how can you be the opponent of those big masters? What's more, Yang Jintang has 800 county soldiers, and even the county master does not dare to despise it. ”
Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows.
This girl.
That's a lot of talk.
What do you mean?
Take the opportunity to break the news?
Okay.
There are so many eyes.
can only say that it is really worthy of a night show.
While being pitiful, he exploded the news.
This trip is worth it.
Thinking like this, he pretended to be surprised: "No, the county master is a master of the Jinshi realm, but Yang Jintang is only a third-rate realm martial cultivator, so what if there are eight hundred county soldiers?" He dared to lead troops to attack the county master? ”
Piaopiao girl sighed: "Master, you are still too young, your time in the industry is too short, the position of county lieutenant is so important, waiting for idlers to take the position?" ”
"What do you mean......"
"Yes, the relationship between the county lieutenant and the Wang family in the south of the city is not ordinary, that Wang Yong is also a distant branch of the Wang family."
Xu Taiping suddenly gasped.
Seongnam Wang's house!
Grass!
Careless!
Ignoring this low-key family.
In the jurisdiction of Jianyang, the surname Wang accounts for 60% of the total population.
Although most people are not related to the Chengnan Wang, it may be pointed out that a beggar surnamed Wang on the roadside is inextricably related to the Chengnan Wang.
Made.
This case is even more troublesome.
If the Wang family intervenes, this case will not be handled by Zhou Yucheng himself.
But......
Will the Wang family really meddle in this matter?
The Wang family has been low-key for several years, and there is no reason to suddenly become high-profile, right?
No matter how low-key the Wang family is.
Or is there another plan.
It is unlikely that he will suddenly change his style of acting for the sake of just one Wang Yong.
Come to think of it.
chuckled, took the Piaopiao girl into his arms, and patted her lightly twice: "Don't worry, even the Wang family in the south of the city can't cover the sky with one hand." ”
"Master, don't you dare to talk nonsense, you are still young and have a bright future, for, for a Qinglou woman...... It's not worth it. ”
When the fluttering girl said "not worth it", her tone was mournful, full of self-pity, and tears slid down her smooth face, which was pitiful.
Xu Taiping was distressed and kept comforting: "Don't worry, you know it." ”
He also said: "It's okay if the master didn't take over this case, since he accepted the commission of the county master, he will arrest the murderer even if he is broken." ”
"Uh-woo......"
"Oops, why are you crying again?"
"Also, no one has ever taken the lives of our hard-working sisters seriously, woo, from childhood to adulthood, there are too many sisters who have died unexplained, but, but no one has ever cared, in the eyes of everyone, our sisters are not as valuable as a cat, woowoo woo......"
"Others are others, Ye is Ye, Ye feels sorry for you."
"Really?"
"Well, if someone bullies you in the future, they will say that you are covered by Xu Taiping."
"Grandpa......"
The fluttering girl was grateful.
Subsequently, he tried his best to serve Xu Taiping.
Until late at night.
Just let it go.
Dawn.
Xu Taiping washed and dressed under the service of the fluttering girl, and left Qunfang Building.
Before leaving, put down ten taels of silver for the fluttering girl.
Only then did I know the surname of the Piao Piao girl.
I.
Yu Piaopiao.
Of course, I don't know if it's true or not.
Out.
Xu Taiping immediately put away the tenderness and affection on his face.
Wandering towards the county office.
Passing by Ping'anfang, I suddenly thought that I still owed the old man who sold tofu brains dozens of dollars.
So I took a few steps around the road.
But when I came to the front, I didn't see the old man's stall.
I asked the stall owner next door, but I didn't know.
Some neighbors smiled: "It's common to get up late, or have a headache or brain fever or something, Xu Ye, if you want to eat tofu brain, try the old Zhang family, it's not bad." ”
It's coming.
Try it.
But the taste was a bit disappointing.
There are delicious foods on the stalls.
But most of the food on the stalls is not delicious, just satisfying.
When Xu Taiping drank tofu brain.
Qunfang Pavilion.
Yu Piaopiao is neatly dressed.
The face is cold.
The expression was indifferent.
Enter a secret room.
Said coldly: "I have investigated, that Xu Taiping did enter the martial arts, but his talent and strength are very poor, but he can speak well and is a little smart, he can't help in the short term, and it is difficult to become a big tool, so it is not recommended to invest too much energy." ”
