The smell was billowing in the yard, which was very pungent.
Zhao Kang asked questions, and there was a scribe beside him to take notes.
"Where were you last night?"
"Chunfeng Tower."
"Is there any witness?"
"Yes, Ma Liu can testify, so can the sister who slept with me, and so can the Huan Niang and the Madam."
"Do you usually have any trouble with Bastard Erdan?"
"No, after my father left, we had no interaction at all."
"..."
After some questioning and writing down the case file, Zhao Kang let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Wu didn't show any signs of lying.
As long as Wang Erdan is not killed by Zhang Wu, otherwise this case will not be easy to handle due to old feelings.
Twenty thousand taels of silver is not something that the police can steal. They must find out where the money came from.
"Xiao Wu, let's go first."
"Okay, Uncle Zhao, please walk slowly."
They watched the police officers take the body away, and after returning home they conducted an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
After everyone left and closed the courtyard door, Zhang Wu immediately fetched water from the well and began to wash the courtyard to erase the traces of his murder.
The ancient detectives were not just lies, they could find flaws through clues.
My own killing method was very clumsy. I stabbed Wang Erdan to death with an iron thorn and gave it to an experienced gangster. A quick look showed that the throat wound was man-made.
There is also the so-called witness.
You left Chunfeng Tower on the way, and it wasn't long. If people want to check you, they can't hide you.
However, Zhang Wu had already greeted Ma Liu.
After Uncle Liu gets the status badge of the Zhenfu Division, he will immediately go to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen to put pressure on them and let them close the case quickly.
In the past two years, hundreds of households in the Zhenfu Division have been responsible for confiscating their homes and exterminating their clans. All the officials were frightened when they heard about it. Although they were only of the sixth rank, they were not hypocritical against the officials of the second rank.
"I'm afraid I can't hide the matter of buying my own death."
Zhang Wu rearranged the trap three days later.
Ma Liu passed in the morning, and Shuntian Mansion closed the case in the afternoon. The cause of death was that he broke into a private house and committed suicide by jumping over the wall.
But Uncle Six brought news last night.
The secret agent of the Zhenfu Department reported that in the past two days, someone had been in Chunfeng Tower to inquire about information. After Wang Erdan's body was returned to his parents, an old man came to check it out.
Faced with an unknown death threat, Zhang Wu has only one choice -
Swallow the Qi training pill!
With three more years of added skill, and relying on the indestructible power of the Vajra, he will become a top-notch master.
As long as the food is not poisoned or a top-notch expert takes action, he has nothing to fear.
But he is still not sure whether this elixir has any side effects.
But fortunately, Ma Liu would come to protect him during these three nights, almost treating him as his own son.
It's night, dusk is falling.
Zhang Wu drank the porridge he had cooked and was about to swallow the Qi-training pill when Uncle Liu came back wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife on his waist.
"Brother Wu, it's done!"
With a bang, the courtyard door was violently kicked open, and the big black lock flew out, which showed Ma Liu's excitement.
Zhang Wu hurriedly left the house to greet him, and at a glance he saw Uncle Liu holding a small copper seal in his hand.
It is both an accessory and an official seal.
Copper seal with black ribbon, genuine seventh grade!
"Hahaha!"
Ma Liu laughed loudly, as loud as thunder, punched Zhang Wu in the chest, and said happily:
"Brother Wu, there is no need to be afraid now. Even if he is a first-class official, he will never dare to touch you. Your Majesty has specially approved this banner of honor!"
"What's going on?"
Zhang Wu took the small copper seal and regarded it as a treasure.
From now on, we will no longer be humble, but a seventh-grade official!
In the eyes of the heavenly prison guards, the ninth-rank officials are all beings who need to look up to them.
A seventh-grade official is in charge of a place, just like a king. He is so high up that even the jailers can't reach his knees when they jump up.
What's more, it's the seventh-grade general banner of Zhenfu Division!
Absolute gold content.
Ma Liumei explained with joy:
"Sun Qianhu put a lot of effort into winning over you. Not only did he personally go to the governor to offer him the Vajra Indestructible Magic and the secret recipe of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, he also said many good things to you and promised you that he would be a sure man in ten years.
He is a peerless master like Hu Tulong."
After a pause, Uncle Six was welcomed into the room, took a sip of hot tea to quench his thirst, and then said:
"The Governor was moved and talked about this matter with His Majesty yesterday. He said that you are a disciple of the Heavenly King who protects the country, but you are just a jailer in the Heavenly Prison. You are really unworthy of your talents. Why not let you hang up your post and wait for your great achievements in the future?
So that I can serve the imperial court."
"So, His Majesty approved it with a stroke of his pen!"
Ma Liu waved his big hand in the air, as if scolding Fang Qiu.
Zhang Wu was also a little excited.
"Uncle Six, thank you."
"Hey, there is no need for these false politenesses between the two of us. Uncle Six is really happy that you have made a difference."
Ma Liu patted the young man on the shoulder and said happily:
"But this time it was possible because of your uncle Zhan's contribution."
"Uncle Zhan?"
Zhang Wu was stunned.
"That's right."
Ma Liu nodded and said:
"When I sent the secret recipe to Sun Qianhu, I wanted to be more thoughtful and get the medicine together. The three rare medicinal materials in it were all obtained by your uncle Zhan."
"He gave Sun Qianhu and Lord Zhenfu Shi each a pair of medicines. After soaking in the medicine vat for four hours, the two of them immediately benefited greatly. After seven days, their skills will definitely increase greatly. How can they not work hard?
"
Uncle Six sighed:
"If it weren't for your Uncle Zhan, even if there was a prescription, we wouldn't be able to get it, and your matter would be hanging in the balance."
"Then I have to thank Uncle Zhan very much."
Zhang Wu is full of gratitude, there are still many good people in the world.
A kind reminder not only saved Tang Zhan, but also saved himself.
Being kind to others does have its benefits.
"Uncle Liu, why don't we call Uncle Zhan to go to Chunfeng Tower to celebrate, and call the number one card tonight to open our eyes."
The crisis was over. Zhang Wu was happy and wanted to have fun and enjoy the music.
In this era, the prices of geishas were clearly marked. The first one without a virginity cost at least 5,000 taels of silver, and the one with a virginity cost 4,500 taels. Ordinary people would not be able to save so much money in a lifetime.
But since we have five thousand taels of silver in our pocket, it makes sense to treat ourselves to something extravagant once in a while.
"Don't be careless!"
Ma Liu shook his head repeatedly, frowning and said:
"Although you have become the commander-in-chief, the imperial court has not yet issued an official document. If the murderer who bought the murderer is not well-informed and does not know about it, wouldn't it be a loss of life for you to wander around?"
"..."
Zhang Wu opened his mouth, speechless.
Gou Zhidao, Liu Shu is the king!
"Not only must you not be careless, but you must also be more vigilant to avoid being brutally attacked at this last moment."
Ma Liu's eyes flashed and he said:
"Uncle Six will accompany you these three nights. The murderer will only be able to assassinate us both if he finds a master like Sun Qianhu."
"Let's do this tonight..."
Uncle Liu whispered a few words, and Zhang Wu nodded solemnly.
The bridge has been formed, and people are worrying about it in every possible way, and they always want to find out who the murderer is.
Even if you are the chief minister of the dynasty, I can't afford to mess with you now, but a hundred years from now, when your family is withered, I will definitely make you look good!
Others hold grudges for three to five years.
I will hold grudges for a hundred years or a thousand years!
