Chapter 120: Elm Demon Murder Case Twenty-four

Mu Yirong asked Liu Jingshan, do you think that Xiao Tao and Steward Pang are dead, so there is no proof of death?

Something was flickering under Liu Jingshan's eyes, he was still the same sentence, he hadn't done it, there was nothing to answer Mu Yirong.

The corners of Mu Yirong's mouth curved slightly, and he stretched out his hand towards Ruicao, who seemed to be playing a trick, and suddenly a silver ingot weighing almost twenty taels appeared out of thin air in his hand and handed it to Mu Yirong's hand.

"You're finally getting down to business, get over quickly. ”

Seocho dropped the sentence and stepped aside.

Mu Yirong seemed to be stroking a little white rabbit, rubbing the silver ingots in his hand, "Investigating the case, in addition to human evidence, there is also physical evidence. Liu County Lieutenant was willing to kill the old housekeeper who had served him for more than ten years, like a relative. But he was reluctant to give up these physical evidence, the silver in vain. ”

When Liu Jingshan heard Mu Yirong's words, his eyes were fixed on the silver in Mu Yirong's hand, and he subconsciously tilted his head slightly, wanting to look back, but he immediately held back.

It's just that a little cold sweat oozed from his forehead and sideburns, and a real pale color from nervousness appeared on his face.

"The official heard that Liu County Lieutenant was so blessed that he married a lady who was very good in appearance and conduct, and Mrs. Liu's maiden family was quite wealthy, and when she married into Liu's mansion, she accompanied a lot of dowry. However, according to the official who has checked the files and visited the investigation in the past few days, he learned that Mrs. Liu's family background is ordinary, she is not a wealthy businessman, and when she married into Liu's mansion, she was also a high climber, and she did not bring any valuable dowry. ”

When Mu Yirong said this, he tossed the silver ingot in his hand and picked it up, staring at Liu Jingshan, who was about to speak, and carefully observed the subtle changes in the expression on his face.

"Although Mrs. Xiaguan's mother's family is not wealthy, when she was in the boudoir, she worked as a female worker and saved some money. So marrying did bring a lot of dowry. ”

Mu Yirong waited very patiently for Liu Jingshan to finish speaking, and seeing that his mood still didn't fluctuate much, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was really a difficult person to deal with.

"County Lieutenant Liu doesn't have to be in a hurry to deny the words of this official, this official forgot to tell you that I have loved words since I was a child, and I am born with the ability to remember books and words. In the past few days when this official came to Lintong County, he looked at the household registration of all the people in Lintong County, as well as the county records, and naturally knew what Mrs. Liu's family background was. ”

Liu Jingshan's face changed slightly when he heard this, how could it be possible to read the household registration and county records of Lintong County in two or three days.

He has been the lieutenant of Lintong County for several years, and he is in charge of gong, household, and warehouse, and he can't say that he remembers the origins of everyone in Lintong County, let alone memorize the county chronicles with many complicated stories.

Mu Yirong is indeed worthy of being a young genius.

Mu Yirong said, and stretched out his hand to Seocho, and with a twist of Seocho's wrist, a red note appeared in his hand.

"When the official looked through the county records, he noticed that when Mrs. Liu married to Liu's mansion, she had registered the dowry list in the county office. Now, this list is in the hands of the official, and it is also stamped with the official seal of the previous county order, so it cannot be faked. And this silver ingot in the officer's hand was found by the chief of the Seocho Pavilion in a large box in your wife's room, and it was enough for one box of silver, at least three hundred taels. At that time, your wife's dowry list did not have this box of silver ingots. And with your salary as a county lieutenant, I'm afraid that you won't be able to save this box full of silver ingots until the next life. Presumably, that box of silver is the dirty silver you recovered from the Wanjin Gambling House. ”

Qi Kecheng finally figured out what was going on with the silver ingot in Mu Yirong's hand that was thrown like a ball, and immediately turned his head to look at Liu Jingshan in surprise.

Liu Jingshan's face became even paler, and the sweat on his forehead rolled into beads, but his eyes were still full of ignorance and wrong, and he looked at Qi Kecheng.

"Brother-in-law, believe me, there is absolutely no box of silver in my wife's room. ”

"When I came into the courtyard, I looked again, and the chest of silver was still there. ”

This was said by Ruicao to Mu Yirong, although Qi Kecheng heard it, but when he saw Liu Jingshan shaking his head and vigorously denying it, he couldn't help but be moved by his sincerity.

"Lord Squire, do you see that there is any misunderstanding?"

Qi Kecheng was a little stubborn and biased, and finally annoyed the good-tempered Mu Yirong, he threw the silver ingot to Seocho, and his face turned cold.

"Whether this is really the case, you and this official have searched Mrs. Liu's room, and you will naturally understand it clearly. ”

When Liu Jingshan heard that Mu Yirong was going to search his wife's house, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, saying that his wife was giving birth, and no one was allowed to approach the house.

If anyone dares to disturb his wife's birth, he will fight to the death with him, and he will die together.

Mu Yirong clapped his hands indifferently, "This official will not disturb Mrs. Zun's production." However, this official has ordered people to surround Liu's mansion, and if you want to secretly order someone to transport the box of silver out, I am afraid that you will miscalculate. ”

Liu Jingshan's mentality seemed to be finally unbearable, his face was sweating, and he frequently looked back at the room where shouts were still coming out.

Qi Kecheng finally realized that something was wrong, and realized that he might have blindly mistrusted this brother-in-law who had always behaved cautiously in front of him.

He still remembers that when Liu Jingshan often went to his house, he always praised Qi Kecheng for his diligence and thrift, and tried his best to follow suit.

Qi Kecheng was very pleased with this, and said that in the world, he is a small official with a big sesame seed and is greedy. But you must know that a moment of greedy enjoyment will inevitably make a big mistake and harm your family.

At that time, Liu Jingshan's humble and teachable appearance, now Qi Kecheng still remembers it vividly, but he never expected that back then, like a very docile and obedient little fish raised in the bathtub, it turned out to be a poisonous snake that violated the yang and yin, and fooled him like a fool, causing him to ride a tiger like he is now.

Qi Kecheng's chubby face seemed to have been splashed with ink, and it was as black as the bottom of the pot.

"Jingshan, you tell me honestly, what Lord Shilang said is just speculation, right?"

Liu Jingshan listened to Mrs. Liu's screams of pain from inside the house, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave.

But it was just right that he calmed down, and hurriedly shook his head in denial. What Daomu Yirong said was all false, he had never done those things, please believe him.

Liu Jingshan was greatly wronged, and he didn't impress Qi Kecheng easily, Qi Kecheng called his personal servant to come forward, "Go, invite Mrs. out." ”

Mrs. Liu gave birth in the room, and it was inconvenient for the man to go in, so Qi Kecheng called his wife out, and the purpose could not be more obvious. He had doubts in his heart and wanted his wife to check on the room.

Liu Jingshan is humble, except for being a little stingy, he has not done anything out of the ordinary, and he is really not like the kind of person who is exhausted, corrupt and ruthless.

But now, Qi Kecheng has doubts about his brother-in-law, and outsiders naturally begin to drum in their hearts.

The subordinates of Qi and Liu all began to talk to each other, and they all started to talk about it, and then looked at Liu Jingshan's eyes, revealing distrust.

Some people are even involved in Qi Kecheng's head, saying that Qi and Liu have close contacts between the two mansions, and if Liu Jingshan does these things, it is impossible for Qi Kecheng not to know.

It must have been from Liu Jingshan who got benefits, so he tried his best to defend it, so that these people who didn't know anything but were loyal to the Lord would eat melons and fish together.

There is a hot-tempered nursing home in Qi Kecheng's house, and he feels that his master has always been diligent and thrifty, so he must not know what Liu Jingshan has done, and warned the people of Liu Mansion not to drag their master into the water and be careful of being beaten.

The subordinates of Liu Jingshan's mansion heard that the subordinates of the Qi mansion began to dissociate themselves from them, and suddenly realized that if their master fell, they would definitely not have a good time in the future. hurriedly jumped out to defend Liu Jingshan, and asked Qi Mansion not to talk nonsense and convict others casually. It's just that the people in the Liu Mansion are obviously very lacking in confidence.

The two mansions of Qi and Liu, which were originally unanimous to the outside world, are now like two mad dogs, climbing and biting, and they have a big fight.
