Chapter 346

Fortunately, there is Stoudemire.

"The seventh young master said that the deceased had died long ago, but they didn't start arguing until dinner time to say that someone had been killed. Could it be that they were waiting for that false murderer?" Xiao Si asked standing under the window.

Qin Wubing regained his spirits immediately, and said:

"It's very likely so! I've been thinking about this just now. The follower went shopping and could come back at any time. The sooner the murder is dealt with, the safer it is. Obviously they are not in a hurry, which means that the fake murderer is very important, and it is not even him. belong!"

"What I don't understand is that they are all killed anyway, so who can't?" Xiaosi asked again.

"That's the truth. On the contrary, it shows that the fake murderer and the deceased should know each other, and even have some grievances."

"That is to say, they are not worried about the return of the coachman and his entourage."

"Yes! It is very likely that the two of them went out because of their inducement."

"Seventh Young Master," Xiao Fu pointed to the bed and couch and asked, "Why don't you let us wipe it with spirits this time?"

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead and asked, "Didn't you smell a faint smell of alcohol in this room?"

"They've already wiped it off!" Xiao Mo wrinkled his nose and sniffed.

Qin Wubing said to Fengming again: "Move the door and listen to the movement."

Feng Ming did as he did, and the door made a 'squeak, squeak, squeak' sound as it closed and closed.

"Unless the deceased was in a deep sleep during his afternoon nap, he would be easily awakened by the sound of the door opening." Qin Wubing said.

Xiao Si hurriedly said: "The door bolt inside is not locked, but the attendant is not in the room. The four of us dare not do this. If we don't insert the door bolt, we must have left someone in the room to accompany the Seventh Young Master."

Qin Wubing nodded.

Xiao Fu said: "Perhaps because he has few followers, he doesn't care so much."

Qin Wubing said: "There is another possibility, the attendant returned as soon as he said he was going, and the deceased did not intervene."

Feng Ming asked puzzledly: "Taking a nap and still staying in the post house, why did you take off your long gown and only wear your undershirt? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone came to visit?"

"Because he is poor!" Qin Wubing stood up, "Have you seen all the belongings of the deceased?"

Xiaosi hurriedly said: "Look, he is indeed very poor. He basically has nothing with him. I am worried that he will starve to death before he takes office."

"The deceased only had this decent long gown. He was lying on the bed wearing the long gown. If he fell asleep, the gown would be wrinkled, and it would be even more embarrassing when he saw people." Qin Wubing first explained why the deceased had to wear the long gown. Yi, and then said: "It stands to reason that when you leave Beijing to take up your post, you should prepare it in the capital. You only leave the capital for one day, and then go shopping when you arrive in Tonghui County. It doesn't make sense."

"The deceased suddenly has money?" Xiao Si asked excitedly.

"It's possible, where did you get the money from?" Qin Wubing looked at Xiaosi and asked.

"The Seventh Young Master said before that the deceased most likely heard that Prince Xiang was going to Tonghui County in the next two days and would live in a post house. He wanted to sue before he was killed..."

"But I didn't know at the time that the dead were very poor..."

"Master Seventh, listen to me first!" Xiao Si said anxiously.

Qin Wubing snorted: "Say it."

"The deceased wants to sue, so it's impossible to yell everywhere, right? Knock on the door one by one and tell the people living in the post house that Lord Xiang is coming, who do I want to sue."

"It makes sense, let's continue."

"If you only keep the complaint in your heart, who will know? Unless he said it and happened to be heard, or he threatened it directly, both of these two possibilities require a premise, that is, the person was also at the posthouse the day before yesterday middle!"

Qin Wubing couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and praised: "You can really become a teacher! Very good!"

Stoudemire smiled embarrassedly.

"However, you are still a bit short of seeing the big picture." Qin Wubing corrected:
"The person the deceased really wanted to sue would not be in the post house. None of the people who lived in the post house the day before yesterday were above the fifth grade, and there were no real power officials in the post house. A person who dared to kill an official ordered by the imperial court in the post house, and arranged Such a detailed person who can even be ordered by the county magistrate, do you think he will be an ordinary official?"

Xiao Si frowned, and asked puzzledly: "But, if he wasn't here, how would he know what the deceased wanted to do?"

"His absence doesn't mean that the other grasshoppers on a vine are also there."

Stoudemire agreed with the heavy nod.

Qin Wubing said again:

"The deceased was still a seventh-rank official over forty years old. Obviously, he had no backing. Unless he was just a Jinshi in high school in the spring of last year, and it took more than a year to make up for a real vacancy. If so, it is impossible for him to touch other people in the officialdom. other than cheating in the imperial examination!"

"Isn't this right? The person who ordered the fake county magistrate was also someone who participated in the scientific examination fraud many years ago!" Feng Ming concluded.

Qin Wubing pondered for a moment and said:

"The deceased was very dissatisfied with going to Ningyang County to take up his post. Perhaps he also lived a prosperous life. After two years of tossing around, his family was wiped out, but he didn't get a job. He just happened to hear our conversation with Yi Cheng. The person who collected his money and helped him operate, or someone who knew about it was also in the post house, and the deceased knew that Prince Xiang was coming, so he had the idea of ​​threatening."

Feng Ming snorted coldly and said: "If it was usual, they wouldn't be afraid, but now it's not like usual, they are very clear about what Prince Xiang has done along the way!"

"So they were afraid, and after giving some silver to the deceased, they were ready to kill!" Siu Si said excitedly.

Qin Wubing raised his face with his hands behind his back, and muttered, "Where did you find that fake murderer?"

"This is not the capital city. It might not be so easy for them to find a substitute immediately, right?" Xiao Fu asked softly.

"There are plenty in the cell!" Little Mo said loudly.

"Since they dare to kill first and then wait for the fake murderer to come, they are very confident that the fake murderer will come, which means that they also know the fake murderer! What did they say at the time? It is said that the murderer followed all the way from the capital because of hatred. Tonghui County only took action, this fake murderer may really be from the capital." Qin Wubing was still muttering, his voice was not loud.

"If that's the case, we'll find out when we go to the capital." Feng Ming said.

Qin Wubing didn't seem to hear it, and asked as if talking to himself: "Why did you kill the postman instead of the post pawn?"
