Great Lawyer

Chapter 797 Catch the murderer ([-])

"No matter how powerful you are, you are also from Dazhou. You are nothing in Annan." Ma Jiao whispered.

"No matter how powerful Annan is, he is still a subsidiary of Da Zhou."

Ma Jiao was startled, looked at Du Jiuyan in surprise, and finally understood what she meant by revealing her identity just now.The King of Gui is the King of Gui in Guangxi, and the masters of Annan, who would dare to offend the King of Gui?

"Mr. Du," Hu Butou came in, glanced at Majiao, and whispered in Du Jiuyan's ear, "I found out who Xiao Zhiyuan was in contact with."

Du Jiuyan got up and patted his clothes and horns, saying, "If you say it now, if it doesn't do anything useful, I won't bother to talk to you."

"I'll give you half a day, and I'll let you go tomorrow."

As she said, she left with her hands behind her back, and Ma Jiao said excitedly, "I, I say!"

Du Jiuyan looked back at him.

"I say!" Ma Jiao stood up and looked at her, "I can say anything."

"A few days ago, when I was having dinner in front of my house, someone suddenly came to me and offered me 100 taels of silver to pay for my crimes for six years."

"My parents are both sick, and I have nothing else to do, so I agreed immediately."

Ma Jiao lowered his head and said: "The other party gave me money, and I took the money and followed their instructions to wait outside the courtyard of Liu's house. Then I was arrested and came in. Just admit my crime." .”

"Who is the other party?"

Ma Jiao said: "I didn't see their master, and that person didn't tell me who they were. But I saw the person I was talking to, he had something hanging on him."

As he spoke, he pulled out from his pocket, wiped a long and thin token in the interlayer of his clothes, and handed it over: "I'm afraid that I will die in the end without knowing why, so I took advantage of it while talking to him. , stole this thing."

"It's kind of capable." Du Jiuyan took it over to check, and Ma Jiao said, "I, I was indeed a thief before."

The token is about as long as Du Jiuyan's palm, about as wide as a finger, and is slender, with the word "Liu" written on it, and salt transport underneath.

"Master Liu!" Hu Butou recognized him and said, "The people Xiao Zhiyuan went to Annan to contact were from Master Liu's side."

"Direct contact with the Patriarch?"

Hu catcher shook his head, and said: "He has no ability to contact the Patriarch. He is in contact with an illegitimate son raised by Master Liu outside, and he is quite valued by Master Liu. Now he is assisting the second master of the Liu family to handle the salt transportation business."

"The power of the Liu family is not in Shenglong, so there is only a small salt field in Chongyatan in Shenglong. Now that Master Li is on the throne, they moved to Shenglong, and they wanted to grab a piece of salt field, and they used their brains."

Du Jiuyan nodded, looked at Ma Jiao and asked, "Do you know who killed Xiao Yuanzhi?"

"I don't know." Ma Jiao replied, "But from what you said about your height and attire, I think it's very possible that it's the one who gave me the money."

"That person is wearing a bamboo hat, a gray jacket and shorts, and a pair of straw sandals underneath. He walks very fast, as if he is floating." Ma Jiao said, "If I see this person again, I will definitely recognize him."

Du Jiuyan nodded, nodded and said: "You rest, I will keep you in prison for a while."

Majiao kowtow should be.

"Mr. Du, the costume of the person Ma Jiao mentioned is exactly as you guessed. The villain has already sent someone to guard the tower, and as long as he sees a person dressed like this, he will follow."

Du Jiuyan nodded, and said: "The opponent's plan has been ruined, and they must still make moves in the past two days."

"Kill the mouth?" Hu Butou said, "Kill Liu Yuanwai's family?"

Du Jiuyan stopped at the door of the cell, and whispered a few words to Hu Butou. Hu Butou was taken aback, looked at her and nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right now, villain."

He said and hurried away.

Du Jiuyan went back and waited for news.

The Liu family looked very happy, but Liu Qian was very anxious in his heart. He didn't dare to let his four sons go out, and he had to supervise some things in person.

"Have the people who went to the saltworks come back? It's been five days." Liu Gan asked Liu Yongkang.

Liu Yongkang shook his head and replied, "Do you want to send someone to meet you?"

"Wait a few more days." Liu Qian asked, "Wang Ye and Mr. Du are still in Zhen'an, right?"

Liu Yongkang nodded.

"As long as the prince and Mr. Du are still in Zhen'an, they will be fine." Liu Qiandao, "I'm going out to do errands, so don't go out when you're at home."

Liu Yongkang sent Liu Gan out, sighed and said, "Father, you have worked hard during this time."

Liu Gan waved his hand and got into the carriage.

There is a spring at the foot of the mountain outside the city, and the water is sweet and sweet. When his father was there, he set up a winery there, named Zhen'an Qingquan Wine, and it was well-known throughout Guangxi.

The winery is very large, and there is a strong aroma of wine as soon as you get there.

Liu Gan got out of the car and told the driver, "You wait here for me, and I'll be out in half an hour."

The coachman parked his carriage and horses under the shade of a tree, leaned against the tree and put on a big hat to take a nap. As soon as he put the hat on, he suddenly felt someone passing in front of him. He took off the hat and found that there was no one at all. , lie down and sleep.

Liu Gan checked the account, explained the matter, and came out from the inside. He had just rounded a corner when suddenly his neck felt cold. who?"

"Shut up and move forward. If you dare to make a noise, I'll cut your neck right away." The man's tone of voice was a bit stiff, and he could tell that he was from Annan.

Liu Gan was pushed forward, not daring to turn back.

"If you have something to say, let's talk about what you want to do. Let's stop and discuss it. Do you think it's okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense." The man said.

Liu Gan didn't dare to say any more, and was held by the neck by a knife to the side of the carriage.The coachman woke up startled, seeing the situation in front of him and before he could speak, the sword that the man was holding was confiscated, and a stone was kicked out by rubbing the ground with his left foot, straight to the coachman's forehead.

The coachman was terrified.

Liu Gan yelled, "Hide!"

At this moment, a stone flew out of the oblique lens, and the two stones collided and fell to the ground.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Hu Butou came out from behind the tree and stared at the man.

The man was wearing a bamboo hat that covered his face, a short coat and shorts, and straw sandals on his feet.

Looking at Hu Butou expressionlessly, he said: "As soon as he took a step up, I killed him immediately."

"What do you want to do?" Hu Butou said, "Capture Liu Gan and exchange Liu's saltworks?"

The man said: "That's someone else's business, my business is just to catch him."

"If you stop me, I'll kill him."

Hu Butou laughed loudly and said, "Then you try."

There was a cold light in the man's eyes, and he moved the hilt of his sword, he was really going to kill Liu Gan, at this moment, an arrow came from the sky, and with a bang, it was nailed to his right hand.

The man dropped his sword, and Hu Butou rushed forward immediately, and the two sides began to fight.

Gu Qingshan appeared, but after a dozen moves, the man was captured and pinned to the ground.

Liu Gan was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and the coachman was in a cold sweat, and his soul was out of his wits.

"Take it back." Gu Qingshan sheathed the saber, looked at the man and said, "Wait for Mr. Du's interrogation."

Hu Butou removed the man's chin, bound him tightly and threw him onto the carriage.

"General Gu, Hu Butou," Liu Qian finally got up and said with a bow, "I really thank you two, otherwise my old life would be lost here today."

Hu Butou smiled and said: "It's okay, all of this is within Mr. Du's expectations."

Liu Gan was puzzled.

"Mr. Du said that if his previous plan did not succeed, he will definitely not give up on it, and he will make another move at the next moment."

"So, Mr. Du asked us to follow you secretly, and it is expected that the other party will come and kidnap you for the salt plant."

Liu Gan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "It's really thanks to Mr. Du. If we hadn't been lucky enough to meet Mr. Du this time, our Liu family would have been completely ruined."

"Yeah, it's thanks to Mr. Du." Hu Butou said, "Go back first, and we'll talk after the interrogation."

When the group returned to the yamen, the little policeman quickly invited Du Jiuyan and King Gui to come.

In the prison, Butou Hu asked Ma Jiao to identify him, Ma Jiao glanced through the window, and immediately said: "He is the one who gave me money to take the blame and go to jail."

"En." Du Jiuyan nodded, and entered the room with King Gui.

The man's jaw was closed, and he sat silently opposite, Du Jiuyan asked: "Your plan failed, we also know who your master is, do you want to be a witness?"

"I'm a killer." The man said, "I don't know anything."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party.

"Did you kill Xiao Zhiyuan?" Du Jiuyan changed the question.

The man pursed his lips and said, "Yes, do you have evidence?"

"Hu catcher, fetch the footprints." Du Jiuyan said.

Hu Butou brought over the footprints that Ke Bo had made, and compared them closely, even the patterns on the soles of the straw shoes were very similar.

The man's eyes flashed, and he said with an expression of going to die, "I am from Annan, you have no right to deal with me."

"Annan also belongs to Dazhou." Du Jiuyan looked at him with his hands behind his back, and said, "Can you tell me if you can be dealt with?"

The man was taken aback.

Du Jiuyan left with King Gui, and said as he walked, "Just wait for your death."

"No interrogation?" Hu Butou asked.

Du Jiuyan shook his head and said: "Take him in, it will be useful. Let's get rid of Liu Yongxu and others' charges first, and let Liu Gan's family get rid of the crisis."

"Then, what about the horse horn?" Hu Butou asked.

"Convict him according to the law. Beat him with forty lashes, and then release him after half a year." Du Jiuyan said.

Hu Butou should be.

"This matter, is it over?" King Gui and Du Jiuyan went out together, "I think it's not over yet."

Du Jiuyan nodded, frowned and said: "Liu Qian's salt field is a disaster, if the disaster is still there, the matter will not end."

"Annan must make a trip." King Gui stood at the gate of the yamen, looking in the direction of the capital, "If you count the days, Xin should arrive in the capital."

"My lord, I always feel that things are still changing. Tell me, what will the other party do if their schemes fail again and again?"

King Gui raised his eyebrows and said, "Give it up!"

Raw grab.

"Go to Liu's Mansion." Du Jiuyan and King Gui went to Liu Gan's house. He had just sent the doctor away and was waiting to take his medicine. How many employees are there in the saltworks, and can they be guarded?"

"There are more than 100 people in the salt field, and they are guarded." Liu Gan said, "My lord, are you busy?"

King Gui said: "Send more people to guard there, and then I will inform you of the road surnamed Zheng."

"You mean, Master Liu will directly grab it?"

King Gui nodded.

"Little, little man, let's make arrangements."

Liu Gan called out to his sons emotionally.

Outside the door, the boy Liu Qian sent to the salt field to investigate five or six days ago fell off his horse covered in blood.

"Master," said the young servant, dying, "the salt, the salt field was, was robbed."
