Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 151 Poor Child, Heartless Mother
"Master Inspector, why did you call my villagers here?"

The old woman looked at Fang Yuan tremblingly.

"Don't worry, old people, I just asked them to ask questions."

Fang Yuan comforted softly.

He ordered Zhao Yuanzhi to go back to the mansion to carry a stool for the visitors to sit on.

"Thanks, thank you Lord Inspector."

The old woman was still trembling.

Sitting on a stool is uncomfortable.

"You, please come out."

Fang Yuan glanced at the audience, finally pointed at a young man and said.

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then walked out.

"If you didn't ask, don't make any noise."

"Otherwise they will be punished by interfering with official duties, and they will end up."

Fang Yuan's sharp eyes scanned the other common people.

Finally, he looked at Liu Yongshou and the others with warning eyes.

Liu Yongshou and the others didn't have very good eyesight, they knew it was Fang Yuan's warning.

The other people present were also panicked, because the faces of the young people surrounded by them were all swollen.

"Come on, let me chat privately."

"Why did you show up here so early?"

Fang Yuan changed his face, and left with the young man facing away from the crowd.

"I heard they said that a foreign family detained us from Liaozhou, so I came here."

The young man pointed at the few young people who were surrounded, and said with a flattering smile.

"Are the others like that too?"

Fang Yuan nodded, and then asked again.

"probably."

The young man said not very sure.

"Thank you!"

"It's good to think about your own people, but you have to pay attention to dialectics, you know?"

Fang Yuan patted his shoulder and told him to go back.

Then I called a few people over to inquire, and the situation was similar.

They all pointed to the five young men who were surrounded, almost all of them were shouted by him.

Everyone was enthusiastic, and after learning that they were detained by a foreign family from Liaozhou, they rushed over quickly.

At this time, Gouzi and Aleigh came.

"Zhou Zun!"

Gouzi saluted Aleigh.

"Do you know this old man and them?"

Fang Yuan nodded, pointed at the old woman and the corpse and said.

"This is Aunt Six. I only know one of them, and it is Aunt Six's eldest son, Da Cai."

A Lei looked at the old woman and the three corpses, with fear and sadness on his face.

"How is their relationship?"

"I saw this sixth aunt crying for a long time just now, without a single tear."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

"I'm sure I won't cry. Aunt Six wants to die richly, so why would she cry?"

Gouzi blurted out.

When the voice fell, everyone turned pale in an uproar.

"Gouzi, don't talk nonsense and hurt Aunt Six."

The old woman was suddenly dissatisfied, and glared at Gouzi.

"Sixth Aunt, others are afraid of you biting your tongue, but I am not afraid of you without father or mother."

"You just want Dacai to die. You are worried that Dacai will rob your youngest son of the family property. Who in the village doesn't know?"

Gouzi sneered.

"You, you are talking nonsense!"

"Master Inspector, don't listen to his nonsense!"

The old lady's expression changed, she looked at Fang Yuan and said.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, looked at Gouzi, waiting for his next words.

"Sixth Aunt is not Da Cai, but her biological mother, and Sixth Uncle's continuation piano."

"Aunt Six and Uncle Six also have a son who is more than ten years younger than Da Cai."

"Sixth Uncle died early. In the early years, Sixth Aunt had been relying on big fortune to do coolies to earn money, but when her son grew up, Sixth Aunt would say in the village that Big Fortune wanted to occupy the family property and so on."

Gouzi snorted coldly and told the truth.

When everyone listened, they suddenly felt that the old woman had gone too far.

She treats her stepmother like her own mother, but the stepmother repeatedly speaks ill of her son, and even tells outsiders that she wishes for him to die.

Everyone at the scene listened, and many people began to express their dissatisfaction with the old woman's cruelty.

"Inspector Fang, are you asking this, is it related to the case?"

"If it's irrelevant, whether the case can be settled or not, don't waste my time waiting."

Liu Yongshou said suddenly.

"That's right, Governor Fang isn't just delaying time and favoring a foreign family?"

Pei Yonghan also followed suit.

As the two spoke, many people immediately spoke out.

Indeed, Fang Yuan's questioning seems irrelevant to the case.

This kind of emotional dispute between mother and child should be asked after the case.

"That's right, that's right."

"Fang Inspector, can I stop pursuing the matter?"

"Compensation, just pay me some money, I, I want to bury Da Cai."

The old woman also said at this time.

She no longer sat down, but walked towards Fang Yuan.

The rickety look is also quite desolate.

"If you don't pursue it, I'm willing to compensate you!"

Zhao Yuanzhi said immediately.

Although he really wanted to know the truth about being wronged.

But he could also see that there were too many mysteries behind this matter.

He guessed that Fang Yuan had no way to solve the mystery in front of him at this time.

In order not to get into more trouble, it is best to compensate some money.

"Not only do you have to pay, but you have to get out of Liaozhou."

"Liaozhou doesn't need you vicious foreign families!"

Pei Yonghan said coldly.

"That's right, get out of Liaozhou!"

Individual people responded and echoed loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhi opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end.

It's okay to lose money, but it would be too shameful to get out of Liaozhou.

He thought about it, decided not to speak anymore, let Fang Yuan deal with it, and wait for Fang Yuan's result.

Just let yourself see if the powerful governor of this place can check and balance the local aristocratic family.

"quiet!"

"Everyone is making a lot of noise, do you want to go back to the governor's mansion for trial?"

Fang Yuan said coldly.

The scene finally returned to silence.

Indeed, Fang Yuan's question just now seems to have nothing to do with the case.

But in fact, Fang Yuan was sure in his heart that Zhao Yuanzhi did not kill them with poison.

After pondering for a moment, he was about to speak.

But at this time, Zhang San hurried over.

"Zhou Zun, their information has been found."

Zhang San got off his horse and walked towards Fang Yuan quickly.

There is also a document in his hand, which is the identity record of the three deceased.

Fang Yuan was not idle while asking the old lady and calling the dog A Lei over.

Zhang San has already been notified to find out the identities of the three of them and the source of the poison.

"I'm glad to hear that Mrs. Pei. The remaining two are actually your slaves?!"

After reading the information, Fang Yuan frowned, looked at Pei Yonghan, and said in a deep voice.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and looked at Pei Yonghan and the others in surprise.

This news is not ordinary, it is shocking.

"is it?"

"I do not know."

"I never ask about such trivial matters, but does it have anything to do with them being poisoned to death by Zhao Yuanzhi?"

Pei Yonghan stepped out and looked at the three corpses on the ground.

After looking at it, he shrugged and said he didn't know.

As he said, he never asked about such trivial matters, and it was normal.

"It's really irrelevant, I'm just curious."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

How could it have nothing to do with it?

"How does the governor plan to judge Zhao Yuanzhi?"

Pei Yonghan smiled and said calmly.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, because the person he sent to investigate the source of the poison also came back.

"Zhou Zun, the person has been brought."

Huang Da respectfully said.

Behind him was a fat shopkeeper.

Many people present knew him, he was a shopkeeper who bought medicine in the city.

Pei Yonghan watched, his smile slowly disappeared, and he looked deeply at the shopkeeper who was brought.

Fang Yuan is also powerful enough, with such sufficient manpower, he can investigate such information so quickly.

"Bye, see Zhou Zun!"

The shopkeeper who sold the medicine saluted Fang Yuan.

"Do you know these three people and this medicine bottle?"

Fang Yuan nodded, said calmly.

Wu Zuo came over and handed the medicine bottle to the shopkeeper who sold the medicine.

"Yes, yes, this is Chuanchang San."

"The guy with the beard bought it."

The shopkeeper who sold the medicine carefully looked at the bottle, then looked at the three dead bodies at the scene, and finally identified it.

Among the three deceased, two were relatively young, and one was a little older, with a long beard and a long beard. He was the eldest son of the old woman.

After the words fell, everyone at the scene turned pale again, and Zhao Yuanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So, they committed suicide, not Zhao Yuanzhi forcing them to take poison.

"sure?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"determine."

"I also heard him say: I finally left a sum of money for my old lady, and it's a worthy death."

"Lord Inspector, I, we sell medicine, we don't care what customers use it for, so I won't be implicated, right?"

The shopkeeper who sold the medicine nodded solemnly.

But at the end, he panicked and looked at Fang Yuan embarrassingly.

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar again, the old woman trembled heavily, and turned her head to look at Da Cai.

"Have you heard everything?"

"They were not killed by Zhao Yuanzhi, but someone wanted to blame them!"

Fang Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he can go to the side.

Then he walked to the steps of the Zhao Mansion's stairs and looked at everyone present.

In the end, Fang Yuan's eyes stayed on Liu Yongshou and Pei Yonghan.

"I don't quite agree with what Fang Inspector said."

"Is it possible that Da Cai wanted to wrong Zhao Yuanzhi and demand compensation from his wife?"

Liu Yongshou said loudly.

"I also think it's very possible."

Pei Yonghan said loudly with a sullen face.

Other local families followed suit.

But at this time, not many people are willing to listen.

"What Liu Gong said is very true, but it is my official Meng Lang."

"Yes or no, the official will continue to investigate strictly. If it is found that someone is really instigating, I will never tolerate it!"

"However, in today's case, Zhao Yuanzhi was not found guilty of poisoning the three of Da Cai."

Fang Yuan looked at Liu Yongshou and Pei Yonghan, said in a deep voice.

Yeah, don't let yourself find evidence.

Otherwise, you will feel better.

"My son."

The old woman suddenly collapsed on the ground and crawled towards the big fortune on the ground.

"But Zhao Yuanzhi hit someone first, and he needs to pay Aunt Six a copper coin."

Fang Yuan frowned, said in a deep voice.

I don't know if it was an illusion, Fang Yuan seemed to see tears in the old woman's eyes.

But it's not unimportant, people can't be resurrected after death, the old woman and the wealth are things between the two of them.

"Then how about being shit and pissing around my mansion?"

Zhao Yuanzhi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

For the fine, he has objections and grievances.

He didn't dare to complain and resent before confirming the poisoning.

But now, it's confirmed that he wasn't poisoned, so it's time for him to vent his anger, right?
The one who can't suffer is myself, and the one who loses money in the end is himself. The key is that he was disgusted at the beginning!

"Then do you want money from a rich man, or from an old woman?"

Fang Yuan frowned, and asked back.

"No one will look for it, but the money will not be lost!"

Zhao Yuanzhi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Looking for big money for money, is it to send yourself to hell to find it?

Ask the old woman, is it to let yourself be said to be bullying the elderly?

Fang Yuan's words made Zhao Yuanzhi's original resentment even higher.

"Scumbag!"

"Get out of our Liaozhou!"

"We don't need people like you in Liaozhou!"

"Get out, get out, the foreign family get out of our Liaozhou!"

There was a sudden silence, but it quickly became filled with righteous indignation.

The common people glared at Zhao Yuanzhi and hated people like Zhao Yuanzhi.

All three of Dacai died, and they still died in his mansion.

Although he did not kill him with poison, he took the poison after torture.

It's disgusting that he doesn't lose money for such an old woman.

Zhao Yuanzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then regretted what he said just now.

He suddenly realized that Fang Yuan made him lose money just now to appease the grievances of the people.

But the words have been said, Zhao Yuanzhi will not change it, and directly throw the conflict to Fang Yuan.

If Fang Yuan still wanted their foreign family to stay, he would definitely help him, Zhao Yuanzhi figured this out.

"Okay, be quiet, all be quiet to me!"

Fang Yuan shouted loudly.

Order the people at the scene to be quiet.

It's really strange, do the local people resist the foreign family like this?

The purpose of introducing these aristocratic families is to improve Liaozhou and improve the living standards of the people.

But looking at the situation, they were very disgusted, otherwise they would not have been so strongly instigated by the local family.

Essentially, they should be xenophobic.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt that it was necessary to go back and ask the state officials to popularize the benefits of introducing foreign aristocratic families.

Soon, the people at the scene became quiet again.

"It is reasonable for Zhao Yuanzhi to beat Da Cai and others, but the imprisonment is unreasonable and violates Tang laws."

"I ordered you to pay the old lady two copper coins, or put her in jail pending trial, what objection do you have?"

Fang Yuan looked at Zhao Yuanzhi and said coldly.

"I, I am willing to compensate!"

Zhao Yuanzhi's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan changed the original compensation from one consistent to two consistent, it was a warning to himself.

The terrible governor of Liaozhou, it seems that even if he has support, he can't be confident.

That's right, there are as many as ten foreign families, and there may be more in the future, so why does Fang Yuan care about his own family?

Unless it is said that all ten foreign families can unite into one force, then it is possible to bargain with Fang Yuan.

"Old man, do you agree?"

Fang Yuan slowed down his voice and asked softly.

"I, I agree."

The old woman stopped crying, but her eyes were reddish, which was different from the first one.

"Okay, the case of Zhao Yuanzhi's beating and imprisonment is over, Zhao Yuanzhi, take the money out."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly, and ordered.

Zhao Yuanzhi had no objection, and asked the people in the house to go back and get the money.

More than 30 people in the Zhao Mansion kept watching, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the matter had finally come to an end.

Although two copper coins still have to be compensated, it is a very, very good ending for being wronged and murdered.

Soon, people from the Zhao family took out two copper coins and walked up to the old woman.

"Good, good, good"

The old woman's eyes were bright, and she took the two copper coins tremblingly.

The two copper coins were not light, but the old lady just seemed to be unable to pick them up when she took them, and she fully adapted after a while, feeling much more energetic.

Gouzi watched from the side, snorted coldly, feeling worthless for the dead fortune.

The old woman seemed to be aware of the problem, and the joy on her face changed rapidly, but her hands were holding the copper coins tightly.

Fang Yuan actually noticed this situation, but it's not his job to intervene, let her go, he still has things to deal with.

"As Liu Gong said just now, whether Da Cai wants to wrong Zhao Yuanzhi or really wants to commit suicide, I still need to conduct a further investigation."

"Come here, escort the five of them back to the state capital for strict interrogation, and invite the old lady and Zhao Yuanzhi to return to the state capital to make notes, and the people on the scene will cooperate to make notes."

"I will definitely not wrong anyone, I must find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"

Fang Yuan straightened his face and said in a deep voice.

After saying that, Zheng Jiu ordered people to surround the scene and not allow the innocent to leave.

Liu Yongshou's complexion changed, and he suddenly felt as if he was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

"I, I don't agree!"

"We did not commit a crime, why should we be sent back?"

The five young men who had been surrounded for a long time shouted their grievances.

They looked around, as if they wanted to break out and leave.

"I just asked the people present, and they all said they heard what you said."

"I'm curious, how did you know that Zhao Yuanzhi detained Da Cai and the others?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yuanzhi immediately looked at the five young men.

He was also very dissatisfied with those five young people and hated them very much.

From the very beginning, they called on the people of Liaozhou to drive them out of Liaozhou.

And Fang Yuan said something that he was very concerned about, that is, how did they know that he had detained them?

Those arrested in the early morning, when normal people are sleeping, do they have clairvoyance or clairvoyance?
"I, we saw it!"

The young man yelled loudly.

"I was arrested in the early morning. Did you see it by watching the wind?"

Zhao Yuanzhi interrupted.

Everyone was in an uproar and looked curiously at the five young people.

"Just passed by and saw it!"

Another young man shouted in a low voice.

"It's quite a coincidence that five people passed by together."

"Tell me, what are you going to do in the early morning? Why do you pass by the Zhao Mansion?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The reasons are too lame to support the table.

If you can't speak at the scene, you can go back to the state prison for torture and interrogation.

"I, we're just passing by, isn't that all right?"

These young people panicked.

"Yes, I didn't say no."

"So go back with me and cooperate with the investigation."

Fang Yuan waved his hand, the state officials immediately stepped forward to grab it.

"let me go!"

Several young people drank loudly.

He wanted to break out, but was pushed to the ground and taken away by force.

"Grand Liu, don't rush to leave, let's cooperate and make a record."

Fang Yuan stopped Liu Yongshou and others who wanted to leave.

"I'm busy, I don't have time."

Liu Yongshou's face darkened, and he said seriously.

"Didn't Duke Liu come to justice for the people of Liaozhou?"

"I still need Mr. Liu to leave now. Isn't Mr. Liu really thinking about the people of Liaozhou?"

Fang Yuan laughed immediately.

It attracted many people to look at this side.

"Naturally, it is for the people of Liaozhou."

Liu Yongshou's face darkened, and he smiled stiffly.

After being told by Fang Yuan, he could only stay and cooperate to make notes.

Otherwise, if I come here suddenly and then leave suddenly, I will inevitably be gossiped about.

"Old man, Patriarch Zhao, please come to the governor's mansion."

Fang Yuan chuckled, ignored them, looked at Zhao Yuanzhi and the old woman and said.

Zhao Yuanzhi didn't speak, just nodded and left.

"Me, do I want to go too?"

The old woman was a little worried, and chirped.

"Yes, just ask questions."

Fang Yuan chuckled lightly.

Signal the state officials to come and help her.

The state official wanted to take the two copper coins in her hand and help her get them.

But the old woman immediately avoided to take it by herself, and followed Zhao Yuanzhi, her pace was not slow.

"Bring the body back."

"The people who find something strange should be taken back first."

Fang Yuan ordered Zheng Jiudao.

He wants to find out who instigated it?
After finishing the order, Fang Yuan left.

"Let's go find other afterlife families."

Sun Zhaofu and Qian Jiacheng looked at each other and said solemnly.
