Chapter 133: Tracing the Origins

The beggar king smiled and danced on the ground. Pan Ruzhen was frightened when he saw Jin Xiandeng, which also confirmed that Cunyi's previous judgment was correct. After half a pillar of incense, Pan Ruzhen's snow frost silver face was able to recover its blood color. From time to time, he wiped the large drops of sweat from the corners of his forehead, and said to Cunyi: "Yang Shaoxia, where did this thing come from?" Cunyi told the truth, and Pan Ruzhen nodded slightly.

Yufeng saw that Pan Ruzhen's reaction to seeing the golden silk was so strong, she expected that Pan Ruzhen must know the inside story, so she broke the casserole and asked to the end, but she didn't want Pan Ruzhen to keep her mouth shut, so that the two of them would stop. Cunyi believes that although the old case in Chenzhou is a thing of the past, the prefect Qian Jin used barnyard grass mixed with sand as disaster relief food, and it is absolutely impossible for him to cover the sky with one hand, and there should be people behind him who support him.

Cunyi tried his best to persuade Pan Ruzhen to tell the truth, Pan Ruzhen was sad, put on a bitter gourd face and said to Cunyi: "Yang Shaoxia, you can fight against the royal family, don't block the car with your mantis arm and don't measure yourself." ”

Cunyi told Pan Ruzhen categorically that justice is in the hearts of the people, and he doesn't care what the identity of the opponent is, as long as he does something sorry for the people, he will take care of it to the end. When Pan Ruzhen heard this, his whole body trembled, and then he sat on the chair like a puddle of mud. He stared at him, pouted and said to Cunyi: "Yang Shaoxia has the heart of benevolence and heroism that embraces all rivers and helps the world, and this government admires it, but this government is a small official with sesame mung beans, and if you want to help you, you have more than enough heart but not enough power, so Shaoxia, please take it easy, if you want to visit, you can visit, and this government will never stop it." ”

Yufeng listened to Pan Ruzhen's tone, obviously wanting to keep herself out of the matter, and from his words, she had already revealed her impatience with the two, which was also hinting that the two should leave quickly. Cunyi saw that Pan Ruzhen was sweeping the snow in front of the door, regardless of his selfish appearance of frost, knowing that it would be useless to spend more time here, so he took Yufeng and prepared to leave.

When the two of them turned around, a catcher ran in in a panic and said to Pan Ruzhen: "Lord Pan is not good, demon ...... Goblin...... There is a youkai. Pan Ruzhen saw that the catcher was disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and he was so angry that he smoked. He stepped forward and slapped the face and gave the catcher two big slaps. scolded while beating: "Look at your soulless appearance, you have lost the face of the government office." What did you just have with your mouth full of water, where did you get a monster in broad daylight?"

Zhu Kuai still pointed out the door with a frightened expression, and he said to Pan Ruzhen: "Master Pan, the kitchen of the mansion is ....... Pan Ruzhen raised his eyebrows, waved his robe sleeves and said to the catcher: "Useless fool, you lead the way in front, and the mansion wants to see what is going on." As soon as he spoke, he slowly moved forward tremblingly, and Pan Ruzhen was furious and kicked him hard in the ass.

Cunyi and Yufeng followed closely behind, and after the four of them came to the kitchen, they saw rubble flying and smoke in front of them. Pan Ruzhen flicked his sleeves from time to time to drive away the dust, but this did not have any effect, and he was choked to tears. After a while, a basin of water was poured down, and the choking smoke fell to the ground.

Pan Ruzhen saw that the stove in front of him was overturned, and the firewood was splashing everywhere, so he shouted and asked: "Chen Xiaosi, how did you do this job? Did you burn the stove with firewood?"

Chen Xiaosi came out of the house, leaned down and bowed: "Master, it's not a trivial matter, I saw a poplar stick at the door, so I threw it into the stove pit, but I didn't know that after a while, I heard a "bang", and the stove toppled over in an instant. ”

Pan Ruzhen pointed at Chen Xiaosi and said: "Under this Lang Lang Qian, you actually made up this unbelievable nonsense to deceive the mansion, did you think that this fire cooking work was too tiring, and you deliberately knocked down the stove?"

Chen Xiaosi kowtowed like garlic, and he told Pan Ruzhen that the others had heard the sound. Pan Ruzhen waved his hand to signal him to get up, and then he walked to the collapsed stove and found the poplar stick from a pile of burning grass ashes. To his surprise, there was not a trace of fire and smoke on the poplar stick. Pan Ruzhen's face was stunned, and he said incoherently: "This ...... This. ”

Cunyi stepped forward and said to Pan Ruzhen: "Master Pan, is this poplar stick Li Quanfa's?"

got the bad news of the death of his old friend, and the sadness of the righteous liver and intestines was broken. Yufeng gently comforted her, and Cunyi gradually stopped crying. Then he asked Pan Ruzhen how Li Quanfa died? Pan Ruzhen told Cunyi that he was poisoned in prison by Qian Jin.

Cunyi sobbed and bowed down to the poplar stick: "Brother Li, last time I escaped danger for my brother's law, but I didn't save you, but I didn't expect you to still not escape the clutches of the wicked." I'm really ashamed of you as a brother. "After all, Cunyi is howling again.

Yufeng held his arm and said: "Brother Cunyi, there is a debtor who has been wronged, and now that Qian Jin has died, Brother Li's revenge can be regarded as revenge." ”

Cunyi shook his head and said: "I think Brother Li must be unsettled, he still has something on his mind, otherwise how could this good stove overturn in an instant? ”

Pan Ruzhen, who was on the side, rolled his eyes wildly, and muttered in a low voice: "The more I talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, I have to leave this place of right and wrong quickly." Turning around, Pan Ruzhen was about to leave, Yufeng was as light as a swallow, grabbed his back, and said to him: "Master Pan, where are you going?"

Pan Ruzhen squeezed his eyebrows and said: "This mansion still has official business to deal with, so I will disturb the two of you to pay tribute to your old friends here." ”

Yufeng said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, who is here to pay respects." Didn't you say that you had official business to deal with? Okay, well, then I'll tell you that Li Quanfa's case is not over yet, and you can continue to investigate it for me. ”

Pan Ruzhen said with a haha: "Qian Jin and Master He are dead, what else is going to be investigated in this case?"

Yufeng knew that he deliberately avoided the golden thread, but she didn't let Pan Ruzhen's trick succeed. It was Yufeng who chased after him relentlessly and continued to provoke him with words. She said to Pan Ruzhen: "Master Pan, what's the matter with this gold thread attached to Qian Jin's shoes?

Pan Ruzhen saw the move and told Yufeng that it might be the wind blowing into the forest, or Qian Jin was stained on his shoes somewhere. Yufeng listened to it and said sneeringly: "Governor Pan, you should really change your career, it's up to you to make up stories and tell nonsense." ”

Cunyi saw that Pan Ruzhen was still kicking the ball at this time, and he didn't want to take care of it. He changed his usual humble expression and looked at Pan Ruzhen with cold and solemn eyes. He told Pan that it was impossible for him to be an outsider now. As long as I let out the word that I have found some clues from you, I don't think that mysterious person will let you go.

Pan Ruzhen listened to the round bull's eyes in shock, and kept swallowing saliva in his mouth. He didn't expect that Yang Cunyi, who was polite and polite, would actually use such a ruthless method. He is really helpless now, can he get Cunyi and Yufeng with those straw bales and rice buckets under his hands?

At this time, it is not possible to refuse to be soft, Pan Ruzhen asked Cunyi what should be done to make the mysterious person appear. Cunyi whispered in Pan Ruzhen's ear, and Pan Ruzhen nodded again and again.

At that moment, the notices were posted everywhere, and the patrolmen sounded gongs and drums at the corners of the streets, and they told the government that they were chasing the people in possession of the gold wire, and asked them to provide clues. There is a reward for reporting, but harboring the same crime.

Pan Ruzhen knew that this golden wire was not something that ordinary people could see, and it would probably not have any effect if this evidence was made public. Cunyi disagreed, and he told Pan Ruzhen that if the murderer really appeared in Qinglin County. The Nine Dragons gold wire wrapped around his waist will definitely be noticed, this is a symbol of status, and the person who wears it will definitely cherish and protect it.

Pan Ruzhen felt that Cunyi's words were quite reasonable, and he ordered someone to secretly investigate in the big restaurant, and he thought that the mysterious person with a noble status would never go to a small place like a tea house and a wine shop with a peddler. The catchers were dispatched one after another, and when they were leaving, Cunyi told Pan Ruzhen to go to the silk village to have a look.

As soon as this remark came out, Pan Ruzhen was very puzzled, this mysterious man was clothed in fine clothes and food, and there was no shortage of silk and satin, what did he do when he went to the silk village to do it? Cunyi said to him: "Master Pan, have you forgotten how Qian Jin died?"

In a word, Pan Ruzhen stroked the rat whiskers and said: "Yes, yes, Yang Shaoxia is really clever, Qian Jin was frightened to death by ghosts, and I think those three people are also pretending to be like this." ”

After the plan was completed, Pan Ruzhen ordered the catchers to start a search in various silk villages, and for a time the bosses of the cloth villages were taken to the government for questioning. Pan Ruzhen said to Wang Zhutou: "Wang Zhutou, have all the shopkeepers of the cloth villages in the counties under your jurisdiction arrived?"

Wang Zhutou replied to Pan Ruzhen, but Cheng Gui, the shopkeeper of Cheng Ji Cloth Village, was unable to go through the house for questioning because of the wind cold.

Pan Ruzhen deliberately pretended to be impartial, and he shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable, a small illness with a headache and brain fever dares to shirk and refuse to be questioned." You immediately bring it to Cheng Ji Cloth Village, and bring me Cheng Gui, who despises the government. ”

Cunyi told Pan Ruzhen that it is necessary to persuade each other with good words and forgiveness, so as to win the love of the people. Pan Ruzhen squeezed out a smile, and his face was very hateful. He handed Cunyi's words to Wang Zhutou, who turned around and took a dry catcher to Chenggui Bu Zhuang.

When he arrived at Chenggui Buzhuang, Wang Zhutou saw that the door of the house was locked, and knew that there was someone inside, so he ordered the catcher to knock on the door. After the sound of a dense knock on the door, there was no answer from inside. Wang Zhutou thought it was very strange, if Cheng Gui was sick in bed, his wife or domestic servant should also take care of him, and there would be no movement in the house.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he drew his saber and opened the door of the house, and there was a tragic scene in front of him, which made the hunt break their hearts.
