Zhang Yunyan thought of Lin Jiayun, both missing and worried, I didn't know where Jiayun's sister was now, what her situation was, and she really wanted to see her sister. She silently wished that Sister Jiayun would be safe and sound, and that she would be in a happy mood and have no worries about food and clothing in the company of Tian Xiaolong.

Yunyan sighed silently, and was busy looking for Yunxia's sister again. No matter how difficult it is, she has to look for it, hoping to reunite with Brother Yuntian and Sister Yunxia as soon as possible, so as to clear that terrible shadow and comfort her father's spirit in the sky.

They hurried and traveled for more than ten days, and only this morning did they enter the county where Yulongzhuang is located. It's almost home, and everyone's mood is much more stable, although it is different.

At noon, they were a little hungry and thirsty, and when they saw a village in front of them, they hurried to the entrance of the village.

This village is quite large, because it is a traffic artery, there are many shops in the street, and people come and go.

When they came to a restaurant, they stopped the carriage, and when they saw that the windows were bright and there were not many customers, they tied the carriage to a large tree in front of the door, and went in to find a table and sit down. They order their meals and wait while chatting.

There were four tables in the restaurant, and only one or two people were eating and drinking, except for their one, which was a little more crowded.

At the table next to him were two men, who looked to be about thirty years old, one with a long beard and the other with a slender face. The two of them talked while eating.

The man with the beard said, "This world is too chaotic, so try not to go far if you have nothing to do." We're pretty good here, we have a good official, so those bad guys are a lot more restrained. ”

The long-faced man sighed, smiled bitterly, and said: "Chen Zhixian is indeed good, he is not greedy or occupied, he is fair, and the people all support him. However, no matter how good an official is, there are times when he is negligent, and it is difficult to ensure that there will be no mistakes. ”

The bearded man looked at him, a little puzzled, and did not agree with such a statement: "Listening to your words, it seems that Chen Zhixian has done something inappropriate." Brother, you can't just talk nonsense, this will damage the reputation of the county. ”

Zhang Yunyan listened to them talking about Chen Baoyang, the magistrate of the county, and also became interested, wanting to hear what they said and what was wrong.

The long-faced man smiled bitterly again and said, "Brother, I didn't talk nonsense, and I also hope that Chen Zhixian will not do anything wrong, but sometimes I will make mistakes unconsciously." As the saying goes, even the best horse has a time when it misses its front hooves. There are many things in the county, and there are many opportunities every day, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, and there are also extenuating circumstances. ”

"Brother, the more you talk, the more unreasonable you become, you must speak with facts, but you can't be suspicious. Okay, just talk about it, I would like to hear what is said, what mistakes can Chen Zhixian have. ”

"Alas, let me really tell me about Chen Zhixian's mistakes, it's quite embarrassing, in fact, I can't say for sure, it's just a little suspicious. ”

The bearded man glared at him, a little dissatisfied: "I really said it, and it was really suspicion." In this case, you don't have to think nonsense, such a good magistrate can't damage his reputation. ”

"If my brother says that, I really have to say it, otherwise, wouldn't I mean to ruin the reputation of Lord Zhixian. Although I can't say for sure, I also want to ask my brother to peck and peck if there is anything wrong. ”

"Well, tell me, I'd love to hear what makes you so suspicious. ”

Zhang Yunyan was interested, and wanted to hear what he said, whether Chen Zhixian really made a mistake.

The long-faced man coughed and said, "Brother, have you heard of the Qi family's murder case?"

"Of course I've heard that such a big case has already caused a sensation in the whole county, and everyone knows about it. Chen Zhixian is really powerful, such a difficult case has been solved, and the people all praise him, he is really a good official who has made a difference. ”

When Zhang Yunyan heard that it was about the murder case of the Qi family, her heart moved: "Is there still a hidden story in this case?" She was silent, listening while eating, and wanted to know what was said and what else was unknown about this case.

Zhang Chenhui and the Sun family, as well as Shen Youyan, were already very concerned about the Qi family's case, so they didn't laugh anymore, and calmed down to listen to the two of them talk.

The long-faced man said: "Brother, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, there is likely to be a grievance here." ”

Zhang Yunyan was taken aback when she heard this, and she couldn't believe it, this case was clear, the murderer had confessed, and there could be no grievances. This remark was so unexpected and so shocking, she couldn't let it go, but wanted to listen to what the so-called grievances were.

The bearded man glared at his companion: "Brother, the more you talk, the more unreasonable it becomes, the case has been tried clearly, and the criminals have all pleaded guilty to the law, how can there be grievances, don't talk nonsense." ”

In this regard, Zhang Yunyan agrees very much, the murderer Jiao Tianhu confessed on his own initiative, and the mastermind Deng Yuefeng and Deng Yue'e brothers and sisters also confessed, and in addition, no one else was involved, how could there be a mistake, it was pure suspicion.

The long-faced man sighed and said, "Brother, don't worry, just listen to me." Shortly before the incident, Deng Yuefeng and I ...... Oh, it's the criminal who killed Qi Lianyi, and the two of us met in a restaurant and drank together. ”

He then recounted the drinking.

......

This long-faced person is very familiar with Deng Yuefeng, and he is also a good friend, so he has nothing to talk about. He saw that Deng Yuefeng didn't know how to be frugal and spent money lavishly, so he persuaded a few words.

Deng Yuefeng said with a smile: "Brother, brother, I want to do a big thing, I don't have to worry about silver in the future, I will ask my sister when I am tight, and I won't worry about eating and drinking anymore." ”

The long-faced man shook his head and said, "You are such a big person, you are not sick or paralyzed, you always have to support yourself, how can you rely on others." Besides, your sister is already married, and she is embarrassed to ask for money, don't you feel ashamed. ”

Deng Yuefeng was already drunk, and shook his head when he heard this: "What's so embarrassing, I earned such a big family business for her, and she should spend it for me." ”

The long-faced man smiled and said, "Brother, you are really drunk, and you are talking nonsense, it is the family business earned by the Qi family, what does it have to do with you?"

"I'm not drunk, I'm not talking nonsense, and it won't be long before my brother-in-law will be able to inherit the family business on his own. Speaking of which, this is my credit, shouldn't my sister and brother-in-law thank me? Otherwise, the two brothers of the Qi family can only get half of the property each, how can my sister occupy it alone. ”

"Joke, how to distribute the family property is the business of the Qi family, what does it have to do with you?"

"Of course it matters, I've hired someone to ...... Qi Lianyi Oh, can't say, I can't tell you this. Even my sister doesn't know about it, and I won't tell her. ”

The long-faced man shook his head and said, "If you don't say it, forget it, who wants to hear your drunken words, I'm leaving." I still advise you to be frugal, earn your own money to support yourself, and don't disturb the peace of your sister's family. After speaking, he left alone, and did not take Deng Yuefeng's words to heart.

......

The bearded man listened to the long-faced man's story, shook his head, and said, "Brother, Deng Yuefeng and other murderers have been punished, and they deserve their crimes. You said it, but you didn't say that there was anything wrong with this case, you were just suspicious. ”

When Zhang Yunyan and others heard this, they didn't feel that there was a mistake in the handling of this case, and they didn't know why this person was suspicious.

The long-faced man smiled wryly and shook his head again: "Brother, this murder case is not as simple as you think, it is likely that there is a case within a case." ”

"Oh, what is a case within a case?"

Zhang Yunyan and others also started to think about it, and they wanted to know the so-called case within a case.

The long-faced man continued: "At the beginning, I thought that what Deng Yuefeng said was drunk and didn't take it seriously, but then I heard that he really hired someone to poison Qi Lianyi to death, so I remembered those words again. It seems that what he said is not drunk, it is all the truth, and it is true. ”

The beard was still puzzled, and said: "Brother, you are playing tricks, even if his words are true, how can you see that there is a mistake in this case? Besides, Chen Zhixian has already concluded the case, and Deng Yuefeng is the criminal who hired the murderer, and it is the truth in the first place, and no one knows about it, so there can be no mistakes. ”

"What my brother said makes sense, Deng Yuefeng did hire a murderer to kill Qi Lianyi, and Jiao Tianhu is also a murderer, but it is difficult to say that there are no mistakes in this case. ”

Zhang Yunyan is still puzzled, this person also admits that the facts of the case are clear, where is the so-called mistake?

The beard was a little impatient: "Okay, brother, don't sell it, just say it directly, what is the so-called case within a case, and what are the mistakes." I'd like to hear how you get suspicious. ”

The long-faced man smiled bitterly again: "Brother, although I am suspicious, I am not thinking out of thin air, and there is some basis." You should remember that Deng Yuefeng's words mentioned one thing, which cannot but make people suspicious. ”

"Hmph, you're still selling Guanzi, I don't remember, let's talk about it, what did he say that would make you so suspicious?"

The long-faced man shook his head: "My brother didn't even hear it, and he still didn't pay attention to what I said." Deng Yuefeng said clearly that he was the only one who hired the murderer to kill people, and his sister didn't know about it. That is, his sister was not involved and was not a murderer. However, Deng Yue'e was sentenced to capital punishment and was waiting to be beheaded after the autumn. You say, could this be a miscalculation?"

"This ...... In this case, I really can't say, is there really a mistake?"

The long-faced man sighed: "It doesn't matter if there is a mistake, or not, the case has been concluded, and she can only wait for death." ”

Whether this matter is true or not, it cannot be denied, and the beard shook his head: "Alas, if Deng Yue'e is really wronged, it will be too terrible and too pitiful." ”

The long-faced man smiled bitterly: "This is fate, whether that woman deserves to die or not, it can only be like this." ”

Zhang Yunyan listened to it really and understood the so-called case within a case, and it was really difficult to say whether there was a mistake in this case.
