The wife of the power minister's family

The man's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Xu Jing in disbelief, "You...how do you even know this!"

In fact, he knew that his crime was most likely exposed even before he saw these people from the county government coming to his wooden house. Although he couldn't think of how they knew it was him who committed the murder.

It only took less than a day!

He imagined that people from the county government would come to him to inquire and search, but he never expected that they would know directly that he was the murderer!

Now, even he knows that he was instigated by others!

Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhu Shunxi silently.

Could it be that the person who instigated him was Shopkeeper Zhu?

Otherwise, why did Madam Xu have to let him follow her?

Zhu Shunxi's hair stood up when they saw it, and he quickly said: "It's not me! It's really not me! I...I really didn't kill anyone!"

"not him."

Xu Jing's voice suddenly came from the front. She didn't look at Zhu Shunxi, only stared at the man in front of her, and said quietly: "And, maybe, he was almost one of the victims.

I ask you, answer honestly, did the person who ordered you to kill someone say who else did he want you to kill? "

The man was stunned for a while, and then he found his voice again, "Yes...he told me to kill two people in total, one of them was the man named Yang this morning..."

His face was slumped, with an expression of resignation.

In front of this woman who seemed to know everything, no matter how hard his brain worked, he knew it, and it was useless no matter how hard he struggled.

"Where's the other one?"

"There is another one, shopkeeper Zhu from Guangmingtang in the county. After killing the man named Yang, it was his turn."

His answer surprised everyone.

Moreover, he obviously did not recognize that the second person he wanted to kill was right in front of him.

Zhu Shunxi looked even more sluggish, and suddenly his feet gave way and he fell to the ground.

Thinking of the tragic situation after Yang Shao's death, he was shaking like chaff. He also thought that if the people from the county government hadn't caught the murderer in time, he would be the next one to become like that. It's coming out.

Xu Jing's expression remained unchanged and she continued to ask coldly: "Did the person who ordered you give you a time limit?"

"Yes. He said that I must kill everyone within three days. The sooner the better. He said that he would find a way to lure Shopkeeper Zhu here before tomorrow night. The man named Yang this morning was him. Told me he would be passing near here yesterday afternoon..."

"You mean, you didn't know beforehand that there would be one more person?"

"Yes, but the person who ordered me said that if there was anyone else around Yang at that time, he would kill them all together..."

In this way, for Lin Fanghe, this is really an unforeseen disaster.

Xu Jing twitched her lips coldly and continued: "There are many hunters around here. Why did that person come to you?"

"nonsense!"

Even under such circumstances, the man still couldn't hide his complacency and said: "I am the most powerful hunter in this ten-mile radius. I have killed a big insect with my bare hands. If he doesn't look for me, who else can he look for?"

Xu Jing thought of the tiger skin hanging in his room, nodded and said, "When did the other party find you?"

"About...about five days ago..."

"How much remuneration did he give you to make you willing to do such a derogatory thing?"

"He said that after the matter is completed, each person will give me one thousand taels of silver..."

Two people, that’s two thousand taels!

Ordinary people like them could only see so much money in their dreams in their lifetime, so how could he not be tempted!

Xu Jing snorted softly.

This guy was seeking skin from a tiger and thought he could really receive these two thousand taels of silver. I'm just afraid that after he kills everyone, he will suddenly have an "accident" one day and die.

Yang Shao and Zhu Shunxi are both Lin Chengzhao's confidants. If they have an "accident" at the same time, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

But if you use this method and let the person who killed them die in an "accident" in the end, and then guide the people in the county government to discover their murderer, no one in the world will know who really wants them dead. .

The truth about the epidemic twenty-four years ago will also be completely buried!

Through this incident, Xu Jing was certain that Yang Shao and Zhu Shunxi did know something, and Lin Chengzhao couldn't wait to kill them to silence them.

She paused and asked a question that everyone present was very concerned about, "Who is the person who instigated you?"

The man's face turned pale and he said: "He didn't want to tell me his identity, but he gave me a deposit of five hundred taels in advance and said that I would do it if I wanted to do it. If I didn't want to do it, he...he would find someone else. Of course I said I was willing. .

But I'm not stupid. I don't know who he is, and I can't even go to him to ask for money after everything is done. Therefore, when he came to see me, I followed him secretly, and finally saw him... …walked into the Lin family in Anping County. "

The Lin family was one of the top families in Anping County, but he just didn't recognize their house. He just asked a random person on the street to find out.

Xu Jing just looked at him quietly.

With Lin Chengzhao's ability, how could he not guess that this Orion would follow his people? If he is determined, there are a thousand and ten thousand ways to conceal his identity.

But he didn't, because in his eyes, he actually didn't care that much whether the Orion knew who was instigating him, because he would die sooner or later anyway.

I'm just afraid that the person who allowed him to successfully follow him also wanted him to put away his little thoughts and do things better for him.

When Chen Hu heard this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "So, the cause of this case is the internal fight in Guangmingtang!"

While the man was talking, Xu Jing kept paying attention to Zhu Shunxi beside him. When he heard that the person who wanted to harm him and Yang Shao came from the Lin family, his face suddenly turned pale, like a man in the forest at night. Ghostly.

Xu Jing chuckled lightly, turned on her toes, and turned in the direction of Zhu Shunxi, saying: "Who in the Lin family wants to harm you? Shopkeeper Zhu should know it well. That person originally thought that this plan would be foolproof, but we didn't expect it to be broken easily. I closed the case, dug out all the inside information, and... saved your life.

But you say, can he still tolerate you continuing to live in this world? "

Moreover, Lin Chengzhao found someone to kill them five days ago.

Zhu Shunxi discovered that she was sending people to follow Yang Shao and himself only the day before yesterday, and then reported it to Lin Chengzhao.

It shows that after realizing that Xu Jing wanted to compete with him for the qualification to supply medicine to the army, Lin Chengzhao was really anxious. What he thought was a sure thing suddenly appeared with an opponent who could not lose to him in all aspects. This serious crisis The feeling made him subconsciously eliminate all the weaknesses in himself.

Zhu Shunxi's body trembled suddenly, his eyes opened wide, with a look of fear and confusion on his face.

Of course he knew that that person would never tolerate him living in this world.

In fact, he had always had a vague premonition in his heart that that person would not be able to tolerate him sooner or later. However, in these years, that person had never treated him and Yang Shao badly, and even married his own sister and cousin to them, giving them a sense of , he had the illusion that he trusted them like family.

He also considers himself loyal to that person. He has been doing his best for him over the years and has never had a second thought.

But he didn't expect that he would kill them after all!

Yang Shao's tragic situation is still vivid in his mind. He almost... almost became the second Yang Shao!

Seeing Zhu Shunxi's expression, Xu Jing knew that his defense had completely collapsed. She curled her lips slightly and said, "It seems that shopkeeper Zhu understands his current situation very well. I can show you a clear way. Lin Chengzhao is a human being." Be careful, even if he finds someone to kill you, he will definitely not do it himself. Even if I bring this man to the Lin family and ask him to identify the person who instigated him, there is a high probability that he will not be able to identify Lin Chengzhao.

And I guess that that person Lin Chengzhao has already made arrangements. When the time comes, he is afraid that he will take all the blame on himself, and then just like Manager Feng before, he will suddenly commit suicide one day. "

Manager Feng is what Zhou Qi said before, the manager of Guangmingtang who suddenly "committed suicide" because he accidentally said the wrong thing.

Zhu Shunxi's body shook violently again.

Obviously, Guanshi Feng's incident had greatly stimulated him again.

"It is difficult to make Lin Chengzhao surrender through this matter, but if Shopkeeper Zhu is willing to help me, I can use another method to make Lin Chengzhao surrender. In this way, Shopkeeper Zhu may still have a way out, and I can guarantee that Shopkeeper Zhu From now on, my family will live a life without worries about food and clothing, and will not be affected by anything."

At this time, Zhu Shunxi was already like a dead person, his whole body seemed to have no bones. He suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery and said angrily: "Ms. Xu... what do you want to know?"

"I want to know the truth about the epidemic twenty-four years ago."
