Liu Jingxuan asked, "Where is the treasure seller detained?"

Cheng Qian said: "Now Yangzhou Mansion is in prison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Liu Jingxuan asked, "Did you ask who the person who resold it?"

Cheng Qian said: "We have already interrogated, but Yuan Hong has not seen anyone who resold it. Yuan Hong confessed that one day he woke up early in the morning with a blue burden on the table. Inside the baggage is a necklace and a letter. He opened the letter, and he also read some of the words on it, which read: Let him find a way to sell this treasure for ten thousand taels of silver, and promise to pay off the debt for him. Finally, confess to burn the letter. ”

Liu Jingxuan asked, "Then why did Yuan Hong sell this treasure to the adult?"

Bo Keshan replied: "I'm ashamed to say that my brother-in-law Qiu Jun is in the antique business in Yangzhou City, and he is famous. Yuan Hong may have found him because of this. ”

Liu Jingxuan looked at Bo Keshan and said, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Cheng Qian asked, "How is Lord Liu's investigation of the Guo family's case?"

Liu Jingxuan said: "I'm ashamed to say it. I still don't have a clue. ”

Cheng Qian lowered his voice and said, "What Lord Bokeshan means is that Lord Liu is the best if he catches the murderer. If you can't catch the murderer as soon as possible, I'm afraid that this matter will involve too much and you won't be able to explain it to the saint. If there is no hope of arresting the murderer, it is better to sentence Yuan Hong as a murderer and end the case as soon as possible. It is said that Yuan Hong was riddled with gambling debts and went to Guo's house to rob. When he met Mrs. Guo, he became interested in wealth and killed people to seize treasures. How?"

Liu Jingxuan pondered for a moment and asked, "It's not difficult to sentence Yuan Hong as a murderer. But at the time of Lord Bokeshan's birthday banquet, many people knew that it was Lord Bokeshan who spent a lot of money. Since Yuan Hong is a murderer and is wanted by the government, how can he come out and sell the Guo family's treasure? If Yuan Hong is convicted of being a murderer, I am afraid that Yuan Hong will not admit it. ”

Cheng Qian smiled slightly, took out an object from his arms, and handed it to Liu Jingxuan.

Liu Jingxuan took it with both hands, opened it carefully, and found that Liu Jingxuan was a contract. There are signatures and drawings of Yuan Hong and Qiu Jun on it, and the content is nothing more than silverware and the like.

Cheng Qian continued: "With this certificate, it proves that Lord Bokeshan paid 10,000 taels of silver to Yuan Hong, and Yuan Hong also received this 10,000 taels of silver. In this way, the Guo family's murder case has nothing to do with Lord Bokeshan, and Lord Bokeshan also caught the real murderer. Now that people have obtained stolen goods, Yuan Hong cannot deny it. This Guo family's case happened in Gaoyou County, and I hope that Lord Liu can close the case as soon as possible. In this way, we can give the emperor an explanation, and Lord Murong and Lord Guo Yan can settle this matter. ”

Liu Jingxuan frowned and said, "Two adults, do you think Lord Murong and Lord Guo Yan will believe it? This matter is related to Guo Yan, how can he be willing to settle the case hastily. If Lord Guo Yan investigates this matter, as long as he sees Yuan Hong himself, I am afraid that he will immediately show his feet. ”

Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian also frowned. The three of them sat opposite each other, silent for a long time.

Bo Keshan gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, it is better to kill Yuan Hong first, and there is no proof of death." Let's just say that he is the murderer, let's beat him into a trick first, and it will be easy to do it with a confession. ”

Liu Jingxuan saw that it was really difficult to refuse, and replied: "How about taking him back to the county government first, interrogating one or two, and then presenting the two adults?"

Bock looked fierce and said, "I'll give you three days." Within three days, the killer must be found. If you can't find the murderer, you have to do what I say. ”。

Liu Jingxuan sat in the pavilion in the backyard, staring at the vegetables in the courtyard in a daze.

Xiao Rang quietly walked into the backyard from the front yard, and it wasn't until he walked in front of Liu Jingxuan that Liu Jingxuan found out.

Liu Jingxuan said: "Mr. Xiao is here, please take a seat." ”

Xiao Rang looked Liu Jingxuan up and down and said, "Lord Liu went to Yangzhou Mansion once, and it seems that he is even more sad than the last time. ”

"Alas!" Liu Jingxuan let out a long sigh and said, "I think this magistrate is at the end of the day. ”

Xiao Rang comforted Liu Jingxuan and said: "Why do you say this? As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." Maybe soon Jiang Zhutou will be able to bring us good news. ”

Liu Jingxuan told Xiao Rang what happened to the Yangzhou Mansion: Governor Cheng caught the murderer Yuan Hong and let him close the case as soon as possible. But no matter how you look at it, Yuan Hong doesn't look like a murderer. That Guo Yanyan can be easily deceived. Of course, there are some things, Liu Jingxuan did not tell Xiao Rang the truth.

Xiao Rang thought for a while and said, "My lord, I have a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Liu Jingxuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, say it quickly." ”

Xiao Rang said: "It is obvious that Governor Cheng was instructed by Lord Bokeshan to come up with this trick to set up blame. But even if Yuan Hong is wronged, he and the murderer will definitely not be able to escape the involvement. Why don't we do what we count? ”

Liu Jingxuan seemed to understand the meaning of Xiao Rang's words, and his eyes became brighter.

Xiao Rang looked at Liu Jingxuan, Liu Jingxuan looked at Xiao Rang, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, Yangzhou Prefecture and surrounding counties posted notices: The current government has caught the murderer of the Guo family, and his identity is unknown. During the arrest, the murderer resisted arrest and beat him, and was unfortunately beaten to death by the official. Now the mortuary is in Yizhuang, Gaoyou County, and anyone who can recognize this person will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver.

Late at night, the hall in the mansion in front of Cheng Qian was brightly lit. Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian are still negotiating. Liu Jingxuan's actions have already been reported to Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian.

Bo Keshan said: "Master Cheng, everyone says that Liu Jingxuan is a talent. I also thought it was just a rumor, and I always thought that this person was exaggerating and that he was just a nerd. I don't think this person is not only thoughtful, but also resourceful and superhuman, and can come up with such a plan. ”

Cheng Qian nodded again and again and said, "What the adults said is true." In recent years, Lord Liu has an excellent reputation, is capable of doing things, and can be outstanding. ”

Bo Keshan suddenly changed his words, and said in a dark voice: "If this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, we can sit back and relax." If this matter is revealed, Master Cheng must insist that this matter was done by Liu Jingxuan alone, and he has nothing to do with us. ”

Cheng Qian said: "Your Excellency, just rest assured. There will be no mistake in this matter. ”

The two looked at each other and both nodded.

In a mansion in the southwest of Yangzhou City, a young man was also talking to two guards.

I saw the young man say: "Cheng Haoran, He Wenweak, do you say that this Liu Jingxuan really caught the murderer?"

Cheng Haoran replied: "Judging from the small one, it should be that the murderer has not been caught." This should be Liu Jingxuan's plan to transfer flowers and trees. ”

The young man did not say anything, and motioned for Cheng Haoran to continue.

Cheng Haoran said: "The little one thinks that Liu Jingxuan couldn't find the murderer for a while, and Shangfeng pressed it too tightly, so he found a dead man to fool the emperor." ”

The young man looked at He Wenqiao again and said, "What do you say?"

He Wenqiao said: "The small one thinks that there may be a suspicion of throwing bricks and attracting jade. ”

The young man said, "Tell me about it." ”

He Wenqiao said: "It is not unusual for Liu Jingxuan to catch the murderer. But with such fanfare, I think there is a sense of luring the real murderer. ”

The young man smiled, "What you said is right, that Liu Jingxuan is indeed using a plan to move flowers and trees, and throw bricks and jade." However, I don't think he will have the guts. It is a capital crime to fool the emperor by transferring flowers and trees. He was so clever that he could have made such a decision so easily. It seems that the two old foxes of Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian really forced Liu Jingxuan too tightly. If the matter can be resolved successfully, it will be dismissed. If this matter is revealed, they will put all the blame on Liu Jingxuan, let the saint cut off Liu Jingxuan's head, and it is a big deal to change the magistrate. ”

Cheng Haoran said: "Then according to the master, will the murderer appear?"

The young man said leisurely: "It depends on Liu Jingxuan's creation." ”
