Gang leader Qin didn't know where Lu Bai got the confidence to make him the victim of a series of beheadings.
But since the prefect's Yamen took a fancy to him, he probably had some skills, knew some secrets, and might know why the murderer killed someone.
Thinking of this, Gang Leader Qin didn't delay any longer.
He quickly asked Hu Chunxiang to take people to the inn and bring the food over.
As for the price…
Now that we have saved our money and avoided disaster, the worst we can do is raise the price and sell it to the north or west.
He is in the grain business and has no shortage of food sales.

Lu Bai returned to the magistrate's office and asked the bad hair team to temporarily detain the dreadlocks. He walked toward the lobby alone.
The prefect was walking around anxiously in the lobby.
Seeing Lu Bai return, he rushed to greet him.
"Mr. Lu, the couple from Tofu Fang have recruited him, and his son is the murderer!"
The prefect asked him what to do with the case now?
"Where is his son?" Lu Bai asked.
"I'll listen to you, I won't move for now, but it's just a matter of one sentence to catch him. Ignore him, let's talk about the serial case first, and what to do next." The prefect was almost dying of panic, since the case of beheading in Tofu Lane
It has nothing to do with the serial case, which means that the clues to the serial case have been broken again.
"Where should we start investigating now?" Magistrate Liushenwuzhu hoped that Lu Bai would come up with an idea.
"The clue is not broken."
Lu Bai picked up the confession from the tofu shop owner and his wife and scanned it.
Tang Tianbao, the son of the shop owner and his wife, had been interested in the victim's daughter for more than a day or two. Finally one night, while the deceased's mother was having sex with his mother in the tofu shop, he couldn't hold back the thing below, climbed up the elm tree, and climbed over the tree.
He entered the deceased's house and raped him.
By chance, the deceased's mother came back.
Tang Tianbao refused to do anything and even killed the deceased's mother.
In those days, serial beheading cases were happening in the city, so he came up with a plan to cut off the heads of the mother and daughter and pretend to be part of the serial case.
As for the mother and daughter's heads, Tang Tianbao took them home.
Tang Tianbao held the head and thought about it all night, not knowing how to deal with it.
He didn't dare to leave it at home.
He was afraid that the mother and daughter would turn into ghosts and come to him, and since his home was too close to the mother and daughter's home, if the police searched, they would find incriminating evidence.
But leave it outside...
He has also been looking for heads these days, hoping to get a reward of silver. He knows very well how many people are looking for heads.
After a night of panic, he decided to throw it outside to the toilet.
As soon as he walked out of the door, his father discovered him. When the tofu shop owner learned that he had committed such a crime, he was so frightened that he wanted to beat him to death.
But after all, it is biological.
The tofu shop owner stopped him and refused to let him throw it into the toilet.
From time to time, farmers would dig out the latrines and transport them to the fields to be used as fertilizer. Sooner or later, it would be exposed if the latrines were thrown away.
He asked his son to bury the head in the yard.
The father and his son dug a deep pit and just threw the heads in. Someone spoke outside the firewood gate. It turned out that it was a tofu seller who came to buy goods.
The tofu seller happened to see what they were doing.
The shop owner begged the tofu seller to seal the bottle tightly. The tofu seller agreed, but he asked for a high sealing fee.
Therefore, the tofu shop owner simply did not stop and let him divert the tofu seller's attention and let his son beat the tofu seller to death from behind.
The pit is ready.
The tofu shop owner thought everything would be fine now.
Unexpectedly, when Zhou Canqi went out to set up a chess game early in the morning, he happened to see them killing someone, and he also wanted hush money...
The tofu shop owner accepted his fate.
He turned around and went to get the silver, but before he could walk in the door...
"Oh!"
The arrogant man covered the back of his head and fell down.
Behind him was Tang Tianbao, who was holding a hoe and looking fierce.
Fortunately, no one was seen this time...
Lu Bai closed the file, "Where is Tang Tianbao now?"
The head catcher had been waiting nearby, and when he heard this, he said: "Escaped."
Since the two heads were buried in the yard, Tang Tianbao did not dare to go home for the night. He worked hard at the dock and rested at the dock.
When the police came to arrest him today, he happened to not be at home.
At this time, I had received the news and hid it.
"Leave him alone, as long as he is in Yongle City, it will be easy to catch him." The prefect urged Lu Bai. The key now is the serial case.
"The key to solving the serial case lies in Tang Tianbao's hands," Lu Bai said.
Lu Bai has always believed that Wang Er killed his mother and then beheaded his head after receiving the reward, which could not be explained by coincidence.
The prefect said: "But we have already made Wang Er a fake murderer to commit the crime, so the possibility of being killed by the murderer has been ruled out."
Tang Tianbao is living well now.
"That's true, but if Wang Er is killed, there is another possibility - unfilial piety!"
He is unfilial and fakes the murderer to commit the crime. The murderer is ashamed to let such a person use him to achieve the purpose of getting a reward or getting out of crime.
The prefect frowned.
The head catcher is thoughtful.
The prefect admitted that this was possible, but it was all Lu Bai's guess.
The murderer was so cruel. If his morals were not so high, it was not because of this that he killed Wang Er.
"Yes or no, you have to try."
Lu Bai told the prefect and the policeman a wise saying: "Sometimes solving a case is a process of elimination. After eliminating all possibilities, the remaining ones are possible no matter how impossible they are."
Lu Bai speculated that if it were true, Tang Tianbao would only need to kill his father and forge a beheading case.
If they continue to defend Tang Tianbao, the murderer will inevitably appear.
This method is definitely better than finding a needle in a haystack.
The prefect was moved.
He was about to grit his teeth and agree...
"Sir, Jinyiwei Baihu Dong Baihu wants to see you." The servant came in to report.
"Dong Baihu?"
The prefect was puzzled, "What is he here for?"
Although officials are most afraid of Jin Yiwei coming to their door, he is a powerful magistrate, and if you want to touch him, you have to serve at least a thousand households.
The servant doesn't know.
"Let him come in." The prefect waved his hand.
Lu Bai and the others stood up to avoid it, but the prefect vetoed it. He was still waiting for Lu Bai to come up with an idea on how to let Tang Tianbao kill his father.
A member of the Jinyi Guard Baihu was quickly brought in.
He has a beard, is wearing a brocade robe, and carries an embroidered spring knife on his waist. He is short, fat and stocky.
"Rare guest, rare guest."
The prefect raised his hand and said, "Why did Dong Baihu remember to come to my place today?"
Dong Baihu returned the gift, "I heard that your Excellency is very troubled by the serial beheading case. I came to see if I can be of any help. I would also like to ask you to do me a favor."
The prefect said thank you, but sneered in his heart.
Jin Yiwei is also working hard to investigate this case, but the two sides have not exchanged information, fearing that the other side will take credit for solving the case.
If this case is not solved, everyone will suffer together.
Once it is solved, the person who solved the case gets a lot of credit.
So don't say you still have a clue. Even if you don't have a clue, the prefect will not let Jin Yiwei help.
"What help?"
The prefect asked Dong Baihu to get straight to the point.
Dong Baihu's eyes fell on Lu Bai, "I heard that your yamen locked up a guest from the north, or was it locked up by a Jinyi guard?"
Lu Bai smiled lightly at him.
"People from the North?" the prefect was confused.
The young white-headed detective was a little panicked. He walked to the side of the magistrate and spoke in detail.
Dong Baihu continued: "This guest from the North has some friendship with me. I heard that he did not commit any crime, but was beaten by a Jinyi guard..."
He looked at Lu Bai again.
"This Jin Yiwei is so damn arrogant, I have to worship this Buddha."
Dong Baihu clicked his chin towards Lu Bai, "It's just a general flag. Why don't you salute quickly when you see this Baihu?"
