The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 47

"What do you mean?" Zheng Nian was confused.

Zeng Guangshou patted his thigh and said, "I was in the casino a few days ago, and I was lucky at that time. Yes, it was the day I met you."

Thinking back, Zheng Nian nodded indifferently and continued listening.

"After I took the silver from Zhang Tailor's house, I went to the gambling house. During the period, there was a kid... Hiss, I forgot what he was called, but he raised his mouth."

Zeng Guangshou thought about it, "He said he knew about me, and he also said that he hid one of my secrets... in... the Earth Temple! Yes! The Earth Temple!"

Zheng Nian nodded thoughtfully, "Do you remember what that person looks like?"

"I was wearing a sheepskin hat, brown, and the clothes were a little tattered... I walked a little strangely, as if... I had hemorrhoids." Zeng Guangshou recalled.

"When you snatched Tailor Zhang's money, did you notice the people around him?" Zheng Nian asked.

"It's his concubine, the thirty-cent-a-night slut in Liuchun Lane." Zeng Guangshou nodded affirmatively.

Zheng Nian didn't take over.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll ask you again if I have something to do." Then he walked out of the cell.

Zhao Hu was studying the cricket in his hand, "Brother, work hard tonight, if you win the first place, I'll make you something delicious."

"Brother Zhao, thank you." Zheng Nian went out to salute.

"What a big deal, brother, come here when you have time, don't worry, my brother's words are still useful here." Zhao Hu laughed.

Farewell to Changle County, Zheng Nian walked out with a lot of money.

Along the way, this sentimental girl's eyes were blurred.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Nian asked.

"In previous years, my grandfather was always busy making Laba porridge and dumplings, most of which came from the back kitchen of the yamen. I don't know if he can eat them this year." Qian Haoduo put his hands in front of him, twisting his two braids. go.

Zheng Nian knew that she missed Grandpa, so he comforted him, "Jiangnan eats glutinous rice balls."

"Is this the point?" Qian Haoduo raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyebrows, looking at Zheng Nian curiously, "Boss, do you usually talk like this with your sister-in-law?"

"On weekdays, we don't talk." Zheng Nian remembered that annoying man, and punched him empty-handedly, "Usually hit directly."

Qian Haoduo was taken aback for a moment, and obediently followed Zheng Nian, not daring to show his air.

Back in Chang'an County, Zheng Nian looked at the two right-hand men in front of him, and it was definitely unrealistic for the cripple to search, so he said, "Wang Dabiao, are you familiar with the three gambling houses outside Guang'an Lane?"

"That's too familiar." Wang Dabiao patted his chest, "What's wrong?"

After explaining the appearance of the person he was looking for, Wang Dabiao limped and walked outside.

"Xu Zhu, go and inquire about Tailor Zhang's concubine in Liuchun Lane," Zheng Nian said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Zhu said, "I, I, I wrote it down for the boss."

Zheng Nian took the note and gave Xu Zhu a thumbs up, "Smart."

"Hey! Hey hey! Hey hey hey."

Laughing and stuttering.

Zheng Nian spread out the paper, and some information was written on it.

Tailor Zhang's concubine is Que'er, and she is indeed a loose-selling girl.Below is her home address.

"Have you been to her house?" Zheng Nian asked.

"I went and went, and there was nothing." Xu Zhu said, "It's all her companions."

Zheng Nian nodded, "Go and ask the colleagues around, if she has any regular customers."

Xu Zhu responded.

This kind of interrogation is unlikely to come to fruition for a while, and the old policeman Zheng Nian did not continue to wait at the gate of the yamen, but went out with a lot of money to fulfill his promise.

Invite her to dinner.

"What would you like to eat?" Zheng Nian asked as he walked.

"Boss, can you order casually?"

"As big as you... as you like." Zheng Nian coughed.

"Then... I want to eat Peking cake! I also want to eat deer liver!" Qian Haoduo said, "Don't go to the shop, it's very expensive there. Just find one..."

"Is this skin too expensive?" Zheng Nian shook his official uniform.

Capturing the head is a game for him to understand.

There are many good restaurants in the shops in Chang'an County, these places are different from Xinghualou, and the current disciples of officials and eunuchs must hide their faces and hide their eyes when visiting the restaurants, and they cannot be known by others.

Once sitting in a restaurant to eat, each one is more powerful than the other.

Zheng Nian came to a small restaurant with a lot of money. The little girl ordered four or five plates of her favorite food before asking, "Boss, don't you want some?"

Thinking of my mother's resentful eyes, I shook my head, "I go home to eat, and I have a lot of taboos recently, and I got hurt a few days ago."

"Oh~" Qian Haoduo turned seven corners with one word, "Is it because you are afraid that your sister-in-law and aunt will beat you?"

"It's ridiculous, I'm an imposing seven-foot man, the pillar of the family, how can I be beaten by my mother?" Zheng Nian snorted coldly, "Let me say something at home, no one in my family of more than 40 dares to say no. "

Qian Haoduo cast admiring glances.

After the dishes were served, Zheng Nian was thinking about the case while drinking tea.

"It should be true that the deceased in Tailor Sun's house was Que'er, but where did her head go?" Qian Haoduo asked while eating deer liver.

"The first question should be why the head was cut off." Zheng Nian said, "According to Zeng Guangshou's words, the time should be when Zhang Tailor and Zhang Tailor were sharing the same bed, and Zhang's wife came back."

"Then seeing her husband committing adultery, she felt murderous thoughts, which is reasonable, so there were many stab wounds on Que'er's body, but Tailor Zhang survived the first time." Qian Haoduo continued.

"At this time, Zhang's daughter-in-law panicked and ran out. Zeng Guangshou, who was hiding in the dark, took advantage of it and took away Zhang Tailor's money." Zheng Nian said.

Qian Haoduo nodded, "According to the confession in the hall, Zeng Guangshou met Zhang's daughter-in-law who came back home again when he was leaving, so he shot her and killed her."

Zheng Nian continued, "When Zhou Dong was peeping on the roof, it should have been when Zeng Guangshou hadn't made a move, and when Zhang's daughter-in-law had just left."

"That is to say, Zhou Dong sneaked out after watching it. After Zeng Guangshou killed the Zhang family's wife and left, someone entered that house and cut off the heads of the three people. They thought it was Zeng Guangshou who killed them. They wanted to use the three To blackmail him." Qian Haoduo concluded.

"Something's wrong." Zheng Nian narrowed his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Qian Haoduo asked.

"Do you remember that you once said that the one who cut off the head of Tailor and Sparrow..."

"It's not the same knife that cut off Zhang's daughter-in-law's head!" Qian Haoduo said in surprise, "And I can now conclude that it was not done by one person."

Zheng Nian leaned back, "That's right, after Zeng Guangshou left, the men who threatened him appeared and only cut off the head of Zhang's daughter-in-law."

"At this time, another person came in and cut off the two heads inside!" Qian Haoduo exclaimed.

A person at the table next to him immediately jumped up, "You guys can't stop talking, I ate a braised rabbit's head, and I've been listening to you chatting about heads!"

Zheng Nian was wearing an official uniform, and the person who dared to call the official like this must not be an ordinary person. The two lowered their heads timidly, and Zheng Nian smiled apologetically.

The people at that table were not angry but did not chase after them, they sat down and continued to eat.

"Then this person not only put away the body of the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, but also followed the man who tried to threaten Zeng Guangshou, and stole the head of the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family from him."

Zheng Nian lowered his voice and analyzed, "That's why we found the head of Zhang's couple in Zhou Dong's oil shop, but we didn't find Que'er's head."

"Why did he hide the body of Zhang's daughter-in-law?" Qian Haoduo took a mouthful of vegetables and asked while chewing.

Zheng Nian also hissed suspiciously, "The corpse... the head..."

"His purpose... is to cover up? Or... Zhou Dong... a mature woman..."

Zheng Nian shuddered, "I see. Zhou Dong lied to me."

"What's the meaning."

"He saw who the person next to Tailor Zhang was at night! Peeking down from the upper window, it is impossible to see the blood near the gate, so he must have walked in!"

"But Zhou Dong's reaction at the time didn't look like he had seen Zhang's daughter-in-law."

"No." Zheng Nian said, "He may not have seen Zhang's daughter-in-law, but Que'er's head must be related to him! As long as you find his connection with Que'er, you can definitely find Que'er's head."

Thinking of this, Zheng Nian suddenly stood up, "You eat first, I'll go to the oil shop."

With so much money, he was reluctant to part with such a large table of food, so he just nodded and let Zheng Nian go, and continued to eat on his own.
