Luo nine needles

Chapter 18

"This Liu Xiucai definitely did not commit suicide."

Zhang Yuan strode into the court from the outside and said in a deep voice.

In the courtroom, Shaoyin and Gongcao of Jingzhao Mansion were sitting slantedly tired, and they had just dismissed the Liu family.

"Of course not." Gongcao said, "You didn't see the momentum of the Liu family just now."

He clicked twice.

"You are so powerful in the capital, but you can imagine it in Jicheng. How could such a powerful son commit suicide?"

Even if he is really guilty, he will not take it seriously, let alone live in the world with self-blame, shame and shame.

"Old Zhang, if you go to see Fu Yin now, you will be able to see if Luo Changshi's mouth is twisted." Shao Yin winked and said.

It is rumored that Luo Changshi has a crooked mouth, but he doesn't speak everyday and has a straight face, but he can't hide it when he gets emotional.

At this time, Luo Changshi was arguing with Fu Yin to catch the murderer.

Zhang Yuan was not interested in this kind of tugging by the civil officials, and said: "Wu Zuo has already seen the corpse, and there is no trace of homicide. Just now, did the Liu family say what kind of enemies he has?"

Regardless of the on-site inspection or the autopsy, it was found that Liu Xiucai was drinking, mourning, writing with a pen, then took off his belt, stepped on a stool, and hanged himself to death on the beam.

However, Liu Xiucai definitely did not commit suicide. Zhang Yuan saw many murder scenes. As soon as he entered this scene, it seemed that the murderer was telling him, look, I killed someone.

Gongcao snorted: "The Liu Xiucai in the Liu family's population is a noble man who doesn't care about common matters, and is generous and generous in dealing with people. He also has the title of Liu Mengchang."

Being bold and generous when interacting with people sometimes depends on who you are with. For some people, what they see in their eyes is a human being, and what they don’t see in their eyes is not a human being. Zhang Yuan frowned and said: "The confession Is it true what is written on it?"

"Then we won't know until we go to Jicheng for inspection." Gongcao said, looking at Zhang Yuan, "What? Do you suspect the victim's revenge?"

Shao Yin waved his hand: "Impossible." He pointed to the confession letter on the table, "According to what it says, the tenant has only one wife and one young daughter. Not sure, how could it be possible to travel thousands of miles to kill people?"

"Even if it's buying a murderer to kill someone." Gongcao was also interested, and stretched out his empty hands, "Then what money do you have to buy a wife and daughter?"

That's right, Zhang Yuan thought, this murderer is so powerful, the murderer is silent in broad daylight in the busy city, the price must not be cheap.

Because there is no prey sold, there is no money to buy more rice, and I am not ashamed to ask the villagers to help carry the wood.

Qingzhi didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.

She sat on the small bed, which was made of bamboo by the young lady. Although there were no patterns or carvings, it was simple and cute, and it was very comfortable to sleep on. It was no worse than the bed at home that was worth three wild boars.

Lu family.

Qingzhi leaned on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh.

There were footsteps outside and the braying of a skinny donkey.

Qingzhi got busy and opened the door of the main room. Now she is sleeping alone on the side of the main room, and the young lady is in the next room. Because there are too many tools piled up, the young lady asked her to sleep separately.

In the morning mist, Qixing was standing in the yard with two branches in one hand and a bundle of cattail grass in the other. The skinny donkey was braying happily to her.

"Miss—" Qingzhi hurriedly shouted, "Are you going to move the wood yourself?"

With red eyes, so much wood is heavier than a wild boar, because there is no reward, the lady doesn't want to ask for help, so she can only work hard by herself.

However, if you can't move it once, you can do it many times, and you can always move it.

Aokiji clenched his fist.

"I'm going to move now."

Qixing watched the emotional changes on the servant girl's face, and smiled: "I didn't move the wood for the house, it's too slow for us to move so much." She pointed to two branches, "I just use them to make wood. little thing."

Aokiji groaned, and the spirit of trying to cheer up became slack again, alas, it was too slow to rely on the two of them.

"Also, I have to go to the city again today."

Hearing this sentence, Aokiji raised his head again, nervous, the prey from yesterday is still there, do you want to try again?Go to another restaurant?Or go to the market?

"It's not to sell prey." Qixing said, "It's not only prey that I can sell."

She said and pointed to the room.

"You see, I can also be a carpenter."

Aokiji looked back and saw that the room was not as empty as before, except for her small bed, there were also square tables, chairs, small tables, and even a flower stand with wooden vases in which the young lady dried. dried flowers
At the beginning, Aokiji really didn't expect that the strange tools that the young lady bought back could conjure so many things.

Although they are unpolished and painted, they look a bit flimsy and funny, but they are no worse than those of Lu's furniture in use.

so.
"I'm going to take a look at the craftsman workshop we went to last time."

Qingzhi retracted his gaze, cheered happily without finding a new life, and still frowned: "Miss, but that Ning 24 Lang will definitely make things difficult for us."

Under the instigation of the Lu family, Ning 24 Lang not only prevented them from selling prey, but also prevented them from living.

No matter what they do, they will be harassed.

Yesterday it was the Shunde Building, but today it can be the Craftsman Workshop.

Qixing said: "No, the things I'm selling this time are very expensive. If the craftsman workshop takes a fancy to it, it won't be afraid of the threat of Ning 24."

very expensive?Businessmen value profits, and if they are really valuable, they don't care about the face of any son.

Now for Aokiji, the lady's dexterity has reached the point where she can't guess.

What kind of neat thing is this going to do?

Qingzhi immediately regained his spirits and asked, "What is it?"

Qixing took out a handful of grass and handed it to the skinny donkeys who were walking around to chew and play, while the others walked aside and sat down.

"Straw sandals," she said.

……

……

"Son—"

The two young men ran into the flower hall in a hurry.

"Those two little servant girls have come into the city again."

Ning 24lang, who was lying on the lap of the maidservant and eating pears, let out a sigh: "These two little maidservants are quite ignorant!"

He said and sat up.

"Did I be too polite yesterday?"

The two servants nodded repeatedly: "Yes, young master, you were really gentle yesterday, not fierce at all."

Ning 24 Lang smiled, and raised his hand to touch the beautiful servant girl's face: "I can't help it, son, I'm just so gentle."

"Young Master." The beautiful servant girl smiled coquettishly, "Don't worry, those two servant girls are stupid and didn't understand. Shunde Lou understands very well, knowing that you can't mess with him, so you will shut the door to those two servant girls. You don't need to come forward in person. Going there in person will give them face."

That's right, Ning 24 Lang never did things for others, he went to the restaurant to make a fuss in person, and even left someone to watch at the city gate, so he knew the little maid's movements at the first time. It's a snack.

It would be too flattering for these two little servant girls to ask him to show up for everything in the future.

"I didn't give face so much to grab the oiran with Mr. Huang." Ning 24 Lang snorted, and said to the two boys, "Just keep an eye on her, no matter which family she wants to sell to, even ordinary people on the street, she will be fine." Chase me away."

The two boys answered yes.

"However, my lord." A servant hesitated and said, "They don't seem to have brought any prey."

"That's right." The other servant also nodded, "And they didn't go to Shunde Building, they went to Dongshi."
