ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 175 "The Closed Murder Case" (2)
Seeing Liu Fengyang's jumping feet, everyone couldn't help Wan Er, Qin Mi asked Guo Zhixiao in a low voice: "Brother Thirteen, what's going on?"

Before Guo Zhixiao could answer, Ah Zhen walked over and patted Liu Fengyang on the shoulder and said, "Feng Yang, tolerance is great, how can such a trivial matter be so big?"

Hearing Brother Zhen say this, Liu Fengyang said with a slightly blushed face: "Brother Zhen, this is too arrogant, Feng Yang can't be more angry."

"Hahaha" Ah Zhen couldn't help laughing when he heard his angry appearance, "Feng Yang, let's not care whether this Li Nengwu is my slave, we should check if he has such an attitude. Ordinary people have grievances, and I can't ignore it."

When he said this, everyone around couldn't help but nodded, and Guo Zhixiao also persuaded: "Feng Yang, let Brother Zhen check it out, then we can go to Jiangnan, and we will never have any contact with this Li Nengwu again."

"Oh, well, it's Feng Yang's lack of determination." Liu Fengyang cupped his fists and listened to their words.

Seeing this, Ah Zhen laughed and said, "Okay, okay, listen to people's advice and eat enough."

Just after laughing, the yamen ran out and shouted: "My master has an invitation." After shouting, everyone followed the yamen into the magistrate's office.

A group of people walked into the interior of the government office. Instead of the small bridge and flowing water as imagined, they saw a vegetable field and ducks swimming leisurely in the nearby small pond and lake.

The crowd walked slowly, and couldn't help being stunned. Which one of the officials they saw was not a small bridge with flowing water and colorful flowers. They had never seen an official raising chickens and ducks, or planting vegetable gardens.

Guo Zhixiao walked beside him and said in surprise: "Brother Zhen, this county magistrate is really strange. Instead of growing flowers and fish in the mansion, it grows vegetables and raises ducks."

Seeing this, Ah Zhen also nodded, gestured to the big vegetable garden at his feet and said, "Look, those are not just for looking good, they are all edible."

Liu Fengyang also laughed, "That's why I said that the county magistrate is strange."

Qin Mi suddenly disagreed, shook his head and sighed: "You two may not know, this is the source of life, don't underestimate such a small Chinese cabbage, this Chinese cabbage can feed a big living person for a day. "Thinking of her being imprisoned in the Forbidden Palace, she did everything herself, and sometimes a small dish would take care of her stomach for a whole day. Thinking of the past, I couldn't help but feel sad.

When she said this, everyone's hearts tightened, Liu Fengyang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Qin Mi, isn't this too exaggerated?"

"Not at all." Qin Mi replied firmly.

Qin Mi's words made Ah Zhen stop in his tracks, and looked at her faintly. As the fourteenth princess, he could understand the hardships of ordinary people. With these words alone, he had to change his view of the term "princess".

Seeing that Brother Zhen stopped in his tracks, everyone couldn't help but follow his eyes and look at Qin Mi, is there any problem?Dress well and hold your fingers gracefully.

Seeing the burning eyes of everyone, Qin Mi blushed and asked weakly, "Brother Zhen, what are you looking at?"

When she asked, Ah Zhen smiled, and praised: "Qin Mi's words surprised me, and I never thought that your experience would be so profound." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the main hall with a chuckle.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the magistrate sitting on a chair next to him. Seeing them coming, the magistrate put away his disgusted expression, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what is the matter for you to come to this county?"

Seeing how polite he was, Ah Zhen couldn't help but smiled and said: "It's okay, I just wanted to ask my lord, how did this Li Nengwu kill people, and who was the person he killed?"

The county magistrate heard him bring up the old story again, and sighed in his heart, he didn't know where these people came from, but they were so enthusiastic about this closed case, he asked in doubt: "I don't know what is the relationship between them and this Li Nengwu? "

"Li Nengwu is my servant." Ah Zhen said frankly.

Hearing what he said, the county magistrate became even more puzzled, and asked curiously, "According to what I said, Li Nengwu didn't sell himself into slavery?"

"His father was my wife's domestic slave in the past."

"I see."

Hearing what he said, the county magistrate immediately understood that these few were considered warm-hearted people, and being a domestic slave to repeatedly worship officials was considered affectionate and righteous.Thinking of this, the original distaste for him disappeared, and he said slowly with a smile: "In the early morning three days ago, the county received a report from the shopkeeper of the Pengyun Inn on West Street, saying that someone had killed someone in the store."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, Ah Zhen muttered to himself in confusion, "Pengyun Inn, it's a very familiar name."

As he muttered, the general next to him said, "Coach, this is the inn where we caught the flower pickers last night."

Ah Zhen suddenly remembered, isn't it the Pengyun Inn, "Master Zhixian, what happened next?"

The county magistrate saw that he was puzzled, and continued: "At that time, I ordered the head arrester to take people there. According to the head arrester, he saw that the doors and windows were all locked inwards."

Before the county magistrate finished speaking, Ah Zhen interrupted and asked: "Since the doors and windows are locked, how did the innkeeper know that someone was committing murder in his inn?" Can't even pry it open.

The county magistrate nodded and said: "Young master is really thoughtful. That's right, the door is locked. It was Li Nengwu's friend who knocked for a long time but no one came to open the door. The barrel was broken and a paper window was stuck inside. From the small hole, he saw blood flowing inside. After a while, I panicked and reported to the shopkeeper."

After the magistrate explained, everyone nodded, Ah Zhen asked: "And then you broke in?"

"No, the original purpose of the arrester was to break into the door, but Li Nengwu's friend stopped the arrester, saying that the door is damaged and it is difficult to repair, and the window is broken, so it can be repaired. The arrester thought it was right, so he broke in through the window."

Ah Zhen narrowed his eyes when he heard his words, and asked, "What's the name of this friend Li Nengwu?"

"This man and Li Nengwu grew up together. He is the son of a medicine shop on South Street. His surname is Shi Dan and his last name is Zheng."

After the magistrate finished speaking, Ah Zhen asked again: "What does this Shi Zheng do?"

Seeing that he cared so much about Shi Zheng, the county magistrate was puzzled but did not hide it: "This man runs a pharmacy and has passed the township examination. He occasionally helps out in the pharmacy in his free time, and usually spends his time studying."

Hearing what the magistrate said, Ah Zhen nodded and asked, "Who is the deceased?"

"The deceased was a brothel piano girl."

"When Li Nengwu was staying at the inn that night, did the inn see him bring this qin girl into the room?"

"The county was also puzzled at the beginning. No one saw how this Qin girl appeared, and no one knew how this Qin girl was in Li Nengwu's room." Said that the county magistrate was also puzzled.

After hearing this, Ah Zhen shouted in a daze: "If you didn't figure it out, you sentenced Li Nengwu to death?"

When he shouted, the magistrate's face turned red, and he couldn't help saying loudly: "All the doors and windows in the wing room are locked, and there are only two people in the room, and Li Nengwu's dagger is stuck in the Qin girl. The county can't kill it."

Ah Zhen saw that the magistrate was choking on him, and hummed in a bad tone: "Then what was Li Nengwu doing at that time, and what did he say after you arrested him?"

Hearing the tone of his order, the county magistrate was upset, and he hummed and said, "Please, everyone, this case is closed. If you want to investigate, go ahead and investigate. The county still says that, as long as you show the evidence book The county will definitely give a heavy sentence." After speaking, he shouted towards the door: "Come and see off the guests." He looked like he didn't want to talk to them any more.Thinking about how he is also Yicheng's parents, the reception of them is out of good intentions, and he is not his superior, so why scold him.

Seeing that the county magistrate was offended, Ah Zhen laughed and said, "Lord magistrate, let's talk about it."

"There's no need to say any more, this case is over, please go ahead." The county magistrate was upset, and waved his hand, as if he wanted to investigate by himself, and don't bother him again.

Soon two yamen servants came in, gestured politely and said: "Please, everyone."

Ah Zhen approached the county magistrate with a dead skin, and said with a smile: "My lord, let's talk for a while."

The county magistrate turned around, didn't look at him and didn't say a word. The two yamen servants saw him so sloppy, and said in a bad tone: "Please." They acted as if they would help him if he didn't go by himself.

Guo Zhixiao saw that Brother Zhen worked hard every time, but the county magistrate had a firm heart, and shouted angrily: "Bold, how dare the little magistrate be so rude."

When he yelled, everyone was stunned. The two yamen servants saw a young man walking out behind the stern young man. The young man was extremely majestic and arrogant. With a black body and a face, he said angrily: "Bold, you are so presumptuous in this county mansion, drive them out." After speaking, the two yamen servants put Ah Zhen's arm in one hand and were about to pull it out.
