Luo Dingxi ordered Huang Ye to be taken down, put him under house arrest for the time being, and even ordered that no one should be in contact with him. After making arrangements, he was about to return to the mourning hall when he saw a voice shouting: "Luo Tongzhi, wait a minute!"

Luo Dingxi turned his head, but saw Xiao Heng hurried over.

"Lord Xiao, what happened?" Seeing Xiao Heng's solemn expression, Luo Dingxi took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

Xiao Heng took a look inside the Hall of the Dead, then lowered his voice and said, "How is Xiao Du doing now?"

"It's very sad." Luo Dingxi sighed softly: "Xiao Du is just such two sons, and now a white-haired man gives a black-haired man...!" Shaking his head, he also expressed regret.

"How is the situation with Liu Gan?" Xiao Heng asked in a low voice, "Did he confess?"

"He didn't admit that he sent someone to Yutian City." Luo Dingxi sneered, "The interrogation is still going on, but this guy's mouth is really hard."

"This matter must have something to do with Liu Gan." Xiao Heng took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Dingxi, "Luo Tongzhi, take a look at what this is."

Luo Dingxi took a look, frowned and said, "This is... the deposit certificate of the bank!"

"Exactly." Xiao Heng said softly: "I took people to search the place where Liu Qian lived, and didn't find much useful things, but I found this bank under his bed. The deposit slip. This thing is stored very secretly, if we didn’t find that the floor tiles under the bed seem to have been moved, we might not be able to find him.”

"3000 taels!" Luo Dingxi said in surprise, "Is this Liu Qian's bank certificate of deposit?"

"Several people were present at the time, and they all saw it." Xiao Heng said in a low voice, "Whether it is Liu Qian's bank certificate of deposit, I am not sure, but the things must have been found in Liu Gan's house."

Luo Dingxi frowned and said: "Liu Gan's monthly silver is only 15 taels, and a year is less than 200 taels. Even if he has some other income, it can't exceed 400 taels. This 3000 taels is enough for him to save ten taels of silver." Year."

Xiao Heng said softly: "Don't forget Luo Tongzhi, Liu Gan bought a house for his son outside two years ago, and spent a lot of money to get a family... He also likes to gamble a few times, He even borrowed money from the cashier a few times privately, although he made up for it later, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a large amount of silver in his possession."

"You're right." Luo Dingxi looked at the deposit receipt, "The date on it was deposited half a month ago... and it was 3000 taels of silver at a time...!" He and Xiao Heng looked at each other, and the two There was a gleam of light in his eyes.

"If there are no accidents, this is a windfall for Liu Qian." Xiao Heng sneered, "If you connect what happened this time...!" He stared at Luo Dingxi, but didn't speak.

Suddenly he heard a voice from behind saying: "Heng'er, do you want to see your uncle?" But it was Mrs. Xiao who came out of the house gracefully.

Xiao Heng hastily stepped forward, cupped his hands, and then told Liu Gan about finding the deposit certificate from the bank. Mrs. Xiao frowned, and said, "It's a very important matter, tell the master about it quickly!"

At this moment, Xiao Huanzhang felt that his whole body had no strength, and all the energy seemed to be taken away from his body. After Mrs. Xiao came in, she approached Xiao Huanzhang and said softly: "Master, Heng'er found something suspicious."

Xiao Huanzhang frowned, Xiao Heng stepped forward and repeated it again, Luo Dingxi even presented the deposit receipt from the bank, seeing the deposit receipt, Xiao Huanzhang's eyes turned cold, and said: "This deposit receipt from the bank must be Liu What did you do?"

"My nephew is not sure, but it was indeed found from Liu Gan's house." Xiao Heng said solemnly: "My nephew thought that it was true that Liu Gan sent people to Yutian, but Liu Gan sent people to go. Maybe it wasn't his own intention, but was used by others."

"Used by others?"

"Uncle, this deposit certificate of the bank was deposited half a month ago, that is to say, Liu Qian suddenly got this 3000 taels of silver half a month ago, which is not a small amount. It takes at least ten years to accumulate the current monthly silver." Xiao Heng said seriously: "My nephew thought that no one would give Liu Gan such a large sum of money for no reason. If my nephew guessed correctly, This amount of money is Liu Qian's reward for doing things for others!"

"Remuneration?" Xiao Huanzhang's eyes twitched, "Is this 3000 taels of silver that killed Jing Qian?"

Luo Dingxi frowned and said, "My lord, I'm thinking about something."

"what is the problem?"

"If this matter is really related to Liu Gan, why didn't he show any abnormalities when we captured Liu Gan?" Luo Dingxi said softly: "He was used by others to send someone to send a letter to the Second Young Master. If at that time he It's fine if he doesn't know that others are using him to murder the Second Young Master, but since he already knows that the Second Young Master was killed today, he should know that he sent someone to deliver the letter is inseparable...Why didn't he escape?"

Mrs. Xiao already said: "Actually, this point is easy to explain."

"Oh?"

"He sent someone to meet Jingqian, it must be very secretive, so few people will know." Mrs. Xiao said softly: "Perhaps Liu Qian thinks that as long as Jingqian is killed, no one will know that he sent someone there. That's why he took the risk to stay. And for him, the matter has already happened and it is irreversible. He can only stay and take a gamble. The entire Beishan Road is in the hands of the master. Even if he wants to run, he can't escape the master at all. palm."

Xiao Heng nodded slightly and said: "Auntie is very right. If Huang Ye hadn't escaped, we wouldn't have known that Liu Qian had sent someone to look for the second brother. Liu Gan didn't dare to act rashly, and he just wanted to stop him. After a pause, he said softly, "Maybe he really didn't have the intention of murdering the second brother. He just sent someone to communicate with the second brother when he got money from others. Now the person who sent the letter has not disappeared. If we didn't He found the deposit certificate of the bank in his room, and there is no evidence to prove that Liu Qian really sent someone there...!"

Xiao Huanzhang glanced at Xiao Heng and Luo Dingxi, and finally asked, "Who do you think can take advantage of Liu Qian?"

Xiao Heng and Luo Dingxi looked at each other without speaking.

"Where did Jing Sheng go?"

"Brother is busy preparing for the funeral. There are many things to do, and he is busy." Xiao Heng said softly, "Do you want to invite brother over?"

Xiao Huanzhang shook his head, remained silent for a while, and finally said: "Dingxi, Heng'er, you two are the two most trusted by the governor. Now I have a question for you. Don't be surprised, just say what comes to mind."

Both of them clasped their hands together.

Xiao Huanzhang looked cold and stern, and after a moment of silence, he finally asked: "Dingxi, you heard it just now, Huang Ye said that before Jingqian died, he called Jingsheng's name... Before Jingqian died, he suspected that Jingsheng set up Ambush him to death...!" The muscles on his face twitched, and his hands trembled slightly: "Do you believe what Huang Ye said?"

Xiao Heng's expression turned ugly, and he immediately said: "Uncle, this is absolutely impossible, Huang Ye should be executed for talking nonsense!"

"I want you to tell the truth without any taboos." Xiao Huanzhang said slowly: "Now we are not allowed to say a single word out of this door, but now, you can say what you think in your heart. "

Luo Dingxi hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "My lord, I'm sorry to speak out, Huang Ye should not dare to lie. If the Second Young Master hadn't actually yelled like this, he would never have dared to talk nonsense with red lips and white teeth."

"Heng'er, what do you think?"

"Luo Tongzhi said that Huang Ye didn't dare to lie, maybe Huang Ye really didn't lie." Xiao Heng thought for a while, and finally said: "But my nephew will never believe that it was the elder brother."

"Then why did Jingqian call Jingsheng's name when he was in danger?" Xiao Huanzhang's eyes were ice-like, and he said softly: "Jingqian and Jingsheng are brothers, why is he being ambushed, the first thing that comes to mind is Jingsheng ?”

Luo Dingxi had a hulking back, big arms and round waist, and looked strong and mighty, but now he lowered his head and didn't say a word. Xiao Heng also frowned slightly, and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Huanzhang said in a deep voice.

Luo Dingxi knelt down on one knee, "My lord, this is a family matter of your lord, I really dare not say more about it, and the reason, I really dare not talk nonsense."

"Xiao Heng, tell me!"

"Uncle, this...!" Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, "Uncle, please forgive my nephew for not talking nonsense...!"

Xiao Huanzhang's body trembled, "You guys are the ones that the governor trusts the most, and now you don't even want to tell the truth to the governor?" He was panting heavily, and suddenly coughed quickly.

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly stroked Xiao Huanzhang's back, and sighed softly: "Master, why do you make things difficult for them? In fact... well, in fact, many people are very clear about the conflict between their brothers, but you don't want to think too much about it, Mr. That's all...!"

"what do you mean?"

"Master, forgive me for speaking bluntly, don't you know that the two brothers have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of head of the Xiao family?" Mrs. Xiao said with a wry smile: "Some people in the clan support Jing Qian, and some support Jing Sheng. Behind the master is a huge family business, between the two brothers...!" But he didn't continue, just sighed faintly.

The corner of Xiao Huanzhang's mouth twitched, "You mean, Jing Sheng harmed Jing Qian for the sake of being the Patriarch?"

"I don't dare to say that." Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "But his brothers have deep conflicts and are on guard against each other. That's why when Jing Qian was ambushed, he thought that Jing Sheng sent someone to ambush... It's just that Jing Qian's thoughts may not really be the ones arranged by Jing Sheng."

"It's definitely not what the elder brother did." Xiao Heng raised his head and said decisively: "Although the elder brother sometimes has a temper, he will never kill each other, even if it is for the position of Patriarch, he will not kill the second brother! "

Xiao Huanzhang said with a cold face: "The governor also doesn't believe that Jingsheng will do such a thing...!"

Suddenly, I heard a voice from outside, "My lord, someone from the Ministry of Punishment has come to see you!"

Xiao Huanzhang frowned slightly, "Let him in!"

A middle-aged man in official uniform entered the mourning hall, first knelt down in front of Xiao Jingqian's coffin, kowtowed a few times, then got up and said to Xiao Huanzhang, "My lord, please take good care of yourself!"

Xiao Huanzhang had already asked, "Master Qin, what's the situation over there?"

This person is Qin Ling, the head of the Criminal Department of Beishan Road. He bowed and said: "My lord, the humble people have arrived at the scene of the crime, conducted a detailed investigation, and obtained evidence on the spot. There are some gains!"
