Chapter 430: Clearing the Clouds and Seeing the Sun
Fu Baihu turned around and glanced at Wei Zheng.
He cupped his hands and said: "It was Wei Zheng who bribed the cook of Zhu Liu's family to poison the cakes. Zhu Liu was reminded by a guest and knew Wei Zheng's idea, so he had Wei Zheng's daughter kidnapped.
, she ate the poisonous cake that was supposed to be eaten by Zhu Liu."
Wei Zheng was afraid of the incident, and with Zhu Liu's support, he not only did not complain to the officials, but secretly buried his daughter as a child, lied that the child-eating demon had kidnapped him, and supported Zhu Liu to become the leader of the line.
When Wei Zheng heard this, he made panicked movements for the first time.
He picked his foot with his hand and hurriedly denied, "Nonsense, it's nonsense! How could I poison you? It's definitely not me!"
Lu Bai ignored him. He pondered for a moment before saying, "The ones who kidnapped Wei Zheng's daughter are probably Zhu Liu's disciples."
This matter must be kept secret. If Zhu Liu wants to take action, he must choose someone he trusts.
These apprentices are the best candidates.
Fu Baihu said that he would go back to interrogate Zhu Liu's eldest disciple.
Lu Bai continued to ask: "There is a person hidden here..."
He looked up at Fu Baihu, "Who told Zhu Liu that Wei Zheng was going to poison him? This person is probably the mastermind behind the scenes."
Because this method of committing crimes is very familiar to Lu Bai. Isn't this the method used by the masterminds behind the cases he investigates to threaten people and want them to sacrifice their lives for him?
Lu Bai looked at Wei Zheng again, "Who knew you were going to poison him? This person may have repeated his old tricks and used the same poisoning method to poison Zhu Liu to put the blame on you!"
Wei Zheng was very excited.
He originally thought that the death of Zhu Liu's family was definitely to blame on him, but unexpectedly Lu Bai took a sudden turn. He nodded hastily, "Yes, yes, it must be the mastermind behind this, and they deliberately framed me!"
Lu Bai nodded, "I guess so. A strategy can only be used once, how could anyone use it a second time?"
Eager to distance himself, he added: "Even if I want to use it a second time, Zhu Liu must be on guard and cannot let me succeed easily, so there must be someone else who repeats this same trick."
Lu Bai nodded, "Yes, you are right."
Wei Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
"So, you were the one responsible for the first poisoning? And the death of the former almost companion also had something to do with you?" Lu Bai looked at Wei Zheng jokingly.
Wei Zheng was stunned.
He was so anxious to get away with it that he was careless, which was tantamount to bringing it upon himself.
He couldn't help but look up at Lu Bai, and felt that the legendary young prince was really not simple. He actually made him relax his vigilance with a few words and committed the crime to others.
No wonder he is a legendary semi-immortal who entered the realm of spiritual practice at a young age.
However, he still had to make his last struggle, "Sir, I am wronged. I made a mistake just now. The death of those people has nothing to do with me, absolutely nothing. The government has already made a final decision on their death!"
Lu Bai waved his hand, "I am a Jinyiwei, not a government official. You can deceive the government, but you cannot deceive me, Jinyiwei!"
Plop!
Wei Zheng knelt down.
"Sir, I was wronged. Please forgive me this time. I, I will definitely repay your kindness..."
Wei Zheng kowtowed his head and kept praying. However, when he raised his head and saw the impatience on Lu Bai's face, he suddenly stopped and a thought flashed in his mind:
So be it.
That's it for this life.
Wei Zheng used to be an honest man. He worked as a butcher in his hometown, but he did not dare to miss a pound. He followed his father's words and became a good person who was well-known in the village and respected by others.
However, he worked hard for most of his life, but in the end he was in trouble. His parents died, the child died, leaving only him, his wife and a half-year-old son.
They fled all the way from their hometown to the capital, begging along the way, and received countless punches, kicks and eye rolls. They threw all their previous dignity into the water and flew to the ends of the earth with the flood.
I arrived in the capital with only a little hope.
The bustling capital city is like heaven and earth.
However, living in the capital was not easy. Wei Zheng originally wanted to resume his old business and continue to be a butcher. Of course, he would just work as a butcher in someone else's butcher shop and wait until he could save up capital before opening a shop.
However, the state has its own laws and every family has its own rules.
In the capital, all walks of life have their own rules, and the butcher profession has its own rules, but Wei Zheng never expected that there would be different rules for each butcher's house.
Killing pigs is a simple business, with white knives coming in and red knives coming out. If he wants to join a butcher and resume his old profession, he must become an apprentice and start as a butcher's apprentice in a butcher's shop.
That's all.
Wei Zheng has endured the hardships of begging, so what does it mean to be an apprentice?
But he never imagined that the so-called apprentice was actually doing hard labor, leaving nothing behind except three meals a day. As for his craftsmanship - he felt that his craftsmanship was no worse than that of his master.
The pigs that died in his hands were the neatest, cleanest and least painful.
However, he was the most unpopular with his master as he was a master of art.
The master scolded him all day long, saying that he was killing pigs like a girl, and that his literary style was soft and weak, and he thought he was doing embroidery.
Later, he simply stopped letting Wei Zheng kill pigs. He made Wei Zheng do some servant's tasks every day, and sometimes he even had to pour chamber pots for his master and his wife.
This master is nothing.
When it gets cold at night and I don’t want to go out, I just poop in the basin and let him clean it up the next morning.
Wei Zheng knew that he was deliberately bullying a foreigner like him.
Wei Zheng couldn't bear the humiliation and secretly resented him, but he had nothing to do, not only because he had no money, but also because there was an unwritten rule in the pig farm, that is, if a butcher wanted to gain a foothold in the pig-killing lane, he must come from the pig-killing lane butcher's door.
In other words, if Wei Zheng, a foreigner, wants to kill pigs in the capital, he must have a butcher from the pig-killing lane as his master to lead him into the pig-killing lane.
Otherwise, an unknown butcher from a foreign country would never be able to get a pig.
Wei Zheng could only continue to suffer, and the hatred in his heart became more and more intense.
At this time, he heard that the married couple had no children and were looking for a son, so he took refuge with the married couple, changed his surname, and became the head of the household.
The housewife and his wife were natives of the capital. Although they were not wealthy, they still had some money and could help Wei Zheng open a butcher shop.
However, if Wei Zheng wanted to open a butcher's shop, he had to go to the butcher shop, and the pig shop would give him pigs. But whether or not to go out, and when to go, was a matter of words for the masters of the slaughtering pig lane.
Wei Zheng's master who deliberately made things difficult for him would naturally not let Wei Zheng become his master.
He asked for one hundred taels of silver as Wei Zheng's tuition fee for honoring his master.
One hundred taels of silver——
Wei Zheng couldn't take it out at all.
The money the housewife and his wife gave out was not enough at all, it was far from enough.
Wei Zheng begged so hard at that time that he only asked for one word, and even Wei Zheng knelt down and kowtowed.
However, even though Wei Zheng said all kinds of good things, the master refused to let go and insisted on asking for one hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, Wei Zheng would never have a chance to gain a foothold in this pig-killing alley.
Wei Zheng begged all night, but in the end he got nothing.
When he returned home, his entire human form was shattered, as if he had been seduced by a female ghost, leaving him with only an empty shell that had sucked away all his energy.
That day, Wei Zheng thought a lot.
But all the thoughts came to one scene: his master held the knife, looked at the pig on the meat bank with a ferocious smile, and stabbed it with the knife. The red knife went in and the white knife came out, leaving the pig desperately spurting blood on the meat table.
He screamed, but the master's face was filled with pleasure.
He finally understood that if he wanted to avoid being a pig, he could only become a butcher.
Three days later, his master and his family died suddenly.
The Yamen chief inspected their bodies and found out that they had been poisoned by eating a wild mushroom.
In fact, there is poison in the mushrooms.
He poisoned the mushrooms.
After committing the case, Wei Zheng was so scared that he lay in bed for three days, his heart crackling with firecrackers, and he was so frightened that he felt uneasy. It was not until he heard that the Yamen had closed the case that he dared to get out of bed.
He discovered that the government servants he was afraid of and dared not see in the past were all losers.
When a murder case occurs, what they never think about is not to solve the case, but to find a reasonable reason to solve the case so that the people will not pursue the case and the officials will not be held accountable, and everything will be fine in the end.
Those who are officials continue to be officials, and those who are errands continue to be errands with nothing to do.
As for the truth, it cannot be eaten as food.
After understanding the thoughts of the government and government officials, Wei Zheng's mind suddenly became enlightened and his horizons suddenly opened.
He found that killing people was as easy as killing pigs. As long as he killed pigs in the most efficient and clean way, and then gave the police a reason to solve the case, the case would not be found on him.
That's what happened to the three butchers who died.
The four butchers' butchers' shops were on the same street as him.
In order to steal business, he poisoned the food of three butchers, and poisoned half of his own food, and then framed it for the butcher who was not poisoned. The government naturally arrested the butcher who was not poisoned and asked him to
The butcher's shop naturally became the only butcher's shop on that street.
It's just so logical.
There is no magic arrest in this world. As long as they are given a reason to close the case, the case will be settled naturally.
Wei Zheng did this in his subsequent business, and he also planned to do this in the competition at the head of the pig row, but he didn't want to spend all his time hunting geese and get pecked in the eye by the geese, eventually falling into the hands of Zhu Liu.
Wei Zheng looked at Lu Bai's bored eyes, and he suddenly felt tired.
I have been scheming and scheming all day long, and what are I planning on? My son was poisoned and became ill, and I have been married for many years without any fruits. I see no future, and my daughter is dead again...
That's all, that's all.
Wei Zheng remained silent.
When Lu Bai saw that he remained silent, he had something to ask again, "Who knew the way you committed the crime in the first place? Who did you tell about your original plan to poison Zhu Liu?"
This is a very important clue.
Since the mastermind behind the scenes is repeating his old tricks, he must know that this method can work. In fact, if someone hadn't reminded Zhu Liu in the first place, Wei Zheng's method of poisoning people would have been successful.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng shook his head.
Killing is not a trivial matter, Wei Zheng does it personally and never takes advantage of others.
Because he is a butcher, even if he and his son are going to be pigs on the chopping board, how can he allow other pigs to be meat?
It was he who personally won over the cook, and it was he who personally handed over the money and rat poison to the cook and asked him to put the medicine in the pancakes - Zhu Liu loved pancakes and would eat them every meal, so the medicine in the pancakes was guaranteed.
Must kill.
Lu Bai frowned, this was not good.
In this case, we can only interrogate Zhu Liu's eldest disciple to see if he knows who reminded Zhu Liu.
"In addition, this cook is also worth checking." Lu Bai said.
After Zhu Liu experienced a cook poisoning and killing him, he must be careful and cautious when choosing a cook after drowning the cook. This cook must be someone he could trust.
This trustworthy cook poisoned the pancakes today, not only poisoning Zhu Liu to death, but also herself.
The cook who could make Zhu Liu trust him poisoned Zhu Liu to death.
Then the mastermind behind this must not be simple.
Lu Bai pondered, who could this person be, and who would let him
