But when Li Wen and Wang Zuozuo returned to the county office, Li Wen personally sifted a bowl of water for him and asked diligently, "What can you tell?"
Wang Wuzuo raised his eyebrows and glanced at him and said: "I wonder if Mr. Li is willing to make decisions for the deceased. Reading at midnight."
Li Wen patted his chest and said in a high-spirited tone: "As an official for one parent, I naturally have to make decisions for the people."
Wang Wuzuo said: "Mr. Pan is suffocated. Judging from the marks on his hands and feet, even though he was tied up, he still struggled hard before his death. It can be seen that the person who did it was very weak. If he were not old and weak, he would have died."
It’s a woman.”
Li Wen was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to say: "Then Liu Yiniang said - the thieves are two burly men."
Wang Wu said: "There are fingerprints on the sixth aunt's neck. She was strangled to death by a man and hung on a beam."
Li Wen was vaguely unwilling that the case would become more complicated, so he hurriedly said: "I saw it too. Just now, those people from the Pan family were talking about the sixth aunt Zhenlie, and she wanted to be buried. It was obviously nonsense. I saw that it was her usual fault that she could not protect her.
She is favored, now that Mr. Pan is dead, Mrs. Pan will have someone strangle her to retaliate against her usual grudges."
Wang Wu didn't answer, and added: "Based on common sense, it is most likely Sixth Yiniang who suffocated Mr. Pan to death."
Li Wen was surprised again, and after a while he said: "So what Six Yiniang said cannot be counted? Failure to guarantee it is a lie."
But just then Gong Kun heard that Wu Zuo was coming, and immediately called Jia Cong out of the house, and the two of them came together to look for Li Wen. Li Wen was overjoyed to see them, and hurriedly went to the door to greet them, and introduced them to each other.
.
How many otakus in later generations are not curious about the profession of forensic medicine? Therefore, when Jia Cong heard Li Wen say that this was a widower, his eyes lit up, he looked at the widower Wang and bowed: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang."
Wang Wuzuo was startled, then stood up and waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare you, how dare you."
Jia Cong blinked and asked, "Mr. Wang, how about the case?"
Wang Wuzuo looked at Li Wen, and Li Wen told them what they had just said. Jia Cong and Gong Kun were secretly shocked when they heard that Liu Yiniang was dead.
How can the imagination of others compare to a cheater like Jia Cong? He then frowned, put his fat arms on his back and pretended to turn around the room a few times, saying: "I saw yesterday that although the three sons of the Pan family made a
She looked like she was crying, but she didn't look sad. Who would have looked like that when I died? So I guess what Mr. Li said makes sense. Mrs. Pan has been out of favor for many years, and her three sons all took care of their mother.
The relationship has faded. Also, since Sixth Yiniang is favored, why should she suffocate Mr. Pan to death for nothing? Is it like this? One of the two thieves is an insider of the Pan family. Even if his face is covered, Pan still wants to kill him.
The old man and Sixth Aunt recognized them." He gave another high-five to himself, "Yes, if they broke into Pan's house at night to kill Mr. Pan, why should they cover their faces? Dead people cannot report them to the government. Maybe the thieves didn't want to kill people.
Just to ask what the letter was, Mr. Pan recognized it and started talking to herself after they left. It happened that Liu Yiniang heard it. This person may have something personal or related to Liu Yiniang. In order to protect her lover, Liu Yiniang
She suffocated Mr. Pan to death, and then tried to tie herself up to pretend to be unconscious. Unfortunately, her lover and relatives were ruthlessly tight, fearing that Sixth Yiniang would reveal the secret and strangle her to silence her."
Li Wen also gave a high-five: "The person who has something to do with Liu Yiniang is probably one of the three masters of the Pan family. Looking at the situation today, all the masters of the Pan family want Liu Yiniang to die." He sighed, "Just
I'm afraid that goatee and whiskers are just nonsense from her."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "She has to protect the thief, otherwise he will talk nonsense."
Gong Kun hurriedly added words of jealousy: "One is to silence the family, the other is to cover up the affair, and the third is to vent Mrs. Pan's anger."
Jia Cong thought for a while: "What do they want to ask Mr. Pan?"
If it was an ordinary case, the county magistrate would probably have guessed that it was for the one thousand four hundred taels of silver. However, Li Wen had locked the silver in the county government warehouse and covered it with some sundries, waiting for three months.
Pretending that it was Gao Li who sent good portions to the villagers, he kept the money in a row. It could only be for the sake of Xin'er. He originally believed that the Pan family's case was for the internal disputes in the Hou Mansion or the palace dispute.
, at this time, he became more and more suspicious that Mr. Pan knew something secret.
Jia Cong added: "I don't know whether there was one thief or two or more who came that night. It's a pity that Sixth Yiniang died."
Gong Kun immediately joined in the drama: "I thought it was two people. She said she was masked, had a goatee and a beard, and the three men all had short beards. She is young, and she can't figure out anything even if she thinks about it. I'm afraid
If you go too far, you will be exposed."
Li Wen also said: "I asked her twice, and it turned out that her words were quite appropriate. Even if she lied, it didn't seem like she told a big lie. I'm afraid it was just two lies."
Jia Cong took the opportunity to say: "Is the other of the two a father in their family, or is he someone from outside?"
Everyone thought for a long time but couldn't guess. Gong Kun said: "Also, I don't know where the missing one hundred taels of silver are."
Jia Cong said: "If the money disappears, I'm afraid it was taken away by outsiders. If it is in some gentleman's house..."
Li Wenli stood up and said: "I will send people to search the Pan family right now!" If the Pan family is in trouble, they can take advantage of their weaknesses, and everything will be easier in the future; if there are people from outside, I will stay away.
He just went outside to call the yamen servant, and saw the county's squad leader Sun leading a few people in hurriedly, shouting: "Sir! We have money!"
Li Wen's legs shook, thinking that the money was in the county government warehouse! He quickly asked: "What money?"
Captain Sun held a small bundle in his hand and said, "Today, I led people to search near Pan's house to look for anyone suspicious. In the empty house of Lao Zhao, who used to sell cooking cakes, I saw that the kang seemed to have been touched by someone.
After passing by, I went over to check and saw a pile of silver hidden under the tattered mat that they had not taken away. I took it and weighed it, and it turned out to be exactly one hundred and twenty-four taels."
Li Wen took a breath of cold air. Angu County was poor, and more than one hundred taels of silver was really a lot, but it was thrown into an empty house! If the two thieves were from the Pan family, they could be in their house at will.
It's just hidden inside the cabinet and box, so why put it outside? No need to ask, the other one is from outside.
Bantou Sun's voice was so loud that Wang Wuzuo, Jia Cong and Gong Kun had already been alerted and they all ran outside, so they all heard what Bantou Sun said just now. The three of them looked at each other a few times, their eyes filled with excitement.
It makes sense.
Li Wen stayed for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Now that I have found the silver, there is no need to go to Pan's house." Yin went back inside in frustration and sighed, "I'm just afraid the water is deep."
Wang Wuzuo asked: "Why do you sigh like this?"
Li Wen shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if we check, and it doesn't mean if we don't check."
Gong Kun pondered for a moment and said: "Sixth Yiniang killed Mr. Pan. I don't know which young master of the Pan family avenged my father. It makes sense."
Wang Wuzuo glanced at him and said solemnly to Li Wen: "Is it possible that Mr. Li also wants to settle the matter?"
Li Wen said sadly: "I am just an ordinary county magistrate. Mr. Wang, you also know that ever since Mr. Pan's niece married into the capital, I have been very angry with the Pan family. If we dig deeper into this matter, whether it is the Marquis of Dingcheng
I still want to thank you, sir, there is nothing I can do to offend you."
Wang Wuzuo's eyes flashed.
Gong Kun advised: "Let's just return Dingcheng Hou Mansion. Thank you for hearing about your recent favor."
Li Wen became more and more afraid. He looked at Wang Wuzuo hesitantly and said, "If there is really something secretive in it, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to bear it."
Wang Wuzuo raised his eyebrows, sneered, turned around and went into the house to pack his belongings and tools. Jia Cong hurriedly followed in, watching with hesitation. Wang Wuzuo raised his eyes and looked at him without saying a word. Jia Cong said: "
Nine out of ten things in this world are not what you want. I hope you, sir, won’t care about them. Mr. Li is not going to have an easy time either."
Wang Wuzuo said calmly: "Based on Young Master Gao's guess, what is it?"
Jia Cong's words were originally made up to cover up Wu You. Just guess! He said casually: "How did I know that Bao Buqi was related to the Wanli Blue and White Dinosaur of the Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Wuzuo was stunned: "What?"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's irrelevant. Is Mr. Wang going back?"
Wang Wuzuo glanced at him and said, "Since Master Li doesn't dare to go into details, my staying here will definitely cause inconvenience to him. It's better to leave earlier."
Jia Cong said: "You haven't had lunch yet."
Wang Wuzuo said: "Go outside and be as tall as you like."
Seeing that he really wanted to leave, Jia Cong had to bow to him again. Wang Wuzuo took the baggage and left, while Li Wen followed behind and sent him out of the county government gate with a flattering smile.
After everyone had lunch, Li Wen ordered people to go to Pan's house to let them see the silver. Not long after, Mr. Pan led the accountant and hurried over to take a look, and said repeatedly: "This is the silver! I even remember what it looks like. Where are you from?"
Did you find the thief?"
Li Wen hurriedly pointed at Bantou Sun and said, "He's the one who found it." Bantou Sun told what happened, and then led Mr. Pan to the empty house. Mr. Pan didn't say anything.
, he was also sure in his heart that the thief was not here for money, and he did not bother to go to the county government to explain to Li Wen, so he hurried home to tell his brother and mother. The three of them looked at each other again, and made wild guesses.
In the afternoon, Jia Cong went to the inn and quietly told Wu You about the matter. Wu You was shocked: "Then the sixth aunt is dead?"
Jia Cong nodded: "I guess she was always favored and Mrs. Pan resented her. As soon as Mr. Pan died, he took revenge on her, just like Liu Bang killed Mrs. Qi after Empress Lu died."
Wu You gritted his teeth: "I spent half a day trying just to avoid hurting innocent people!"
Jia Cong said: "You think of her as a person, but in the eyes of others she is not."
Wu Younai closed his eyes and clenched his fists. For a long time, he suddenly stared like a bell: "I'm going to kill that old godly woman!"
Jia Cong waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't be impulsive! We can't touch their family members right now, otherwise there will be chaos."
Wu You growled: "I dragged that man to death!"
Jia Cong asked curiously: "What are you thinking! It's not like I haven't killed anyone before. Don't be a holy mother, I tell you, otherwise you won't be able to do anything in the future."
Wu You glared at him and said: "It's different! What I want to kill and what I want to drag to death are not the same thing!"
Jia Cong glanced at him for a long time, waved his hand and said: "That's all, you just blame yourself for not being rigorous and making many mistakes, so that the outcome of things is completely different from what you first wanted. Don't be so entangled, just let go.
Not everything in the world can be planned as planned. Besides, what Zuo said is consistent with the situation that day. She killed Mr. Pan, which is considered retaliation."
Wu You was dejected: "If I had thought more carefully, she wouldn't have had to kill the old man. She was forced to do so by me." Nai shook his head repeatedly. "Later, I thought of six or seven very appropriate ways, but I didn't think of it at the time."
Jia Cong patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, don't get into trouble, otherwise God will have his own arrangements."
It was evening, and two letters were quietly sent to Beijing under the cover of darkness.
The first one was written by the second master of the Pan family, saying that his father had someone silence him because he knew the secrets of the palace. The perpetrators were two burly men with extremely high martial arts skills. One had a beard and a muffled voice.
A dull fat man, one with a goatee, an average voice and an average build.
The second one was written by Wang Wuzuo. Mr. Pan knew the secrets of Dingchenghou Mansion or Xie Guiren, so he asked one of his sons to join forces with outsiders to interrogate, and he probably found out. Li Wen, the magistrate of Angu County, seemed to
I know a little bit about it but dare not go into it. Young Master Gao, the nephew of the Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture, knows more. It is probably related to a blue and white porcelain antique from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The name of the antique is "Dinosaur".
Rumors are like the wind, they start at the end of Qingping and then make waves.
