Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 431
He Liu came to the Jingzhou station where Jin Shousheng was killed.

Yicheng is an old man in his seventies, named Lin Yue.

No one can say who is the most capable in a government office.But if you want to say who is the most eloquent, it must be the Yizhan Yicheng under the Fuya!

Although the position of Yicheng is small, he can receive all kinds of officials from all over the place.If you say a wrong sentence, you may offend the big shots in Tongtian.Old man Lin has been a postman in Jingzhou Prefecture for 50 years, which shows how eloquent he is.

He Liu interrogated old man Lin alone: ​​"Lin Yue, there was a big case of murdering the imperial court official in your station. You, the postman, can hardly escape the blame. If you want to be sent to guard the border at the age of 70, you will be old. Answer my question honestly and help me find the murderer!"

Old man Lin hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, just ask. I will definitely know everything, and I will say everything."

He Liudao: "The night Jin Shousheng was killed, was there any noise in the station?"

He Liu went to the Fu Zuofang of the government office to check Jin Shousheng's body.Jin Shousheng was hacked to death.Someone must have heard the noise that night.

But old man Lin said: "No! That night, I was on duty downstairs where Mr. Jin lived. If there was any noise, I would definitely hear it. Don't think I'm over seventy years old, but my little old man, It can still be regarded as the four words of hearing, hearing and eyesight."

He Liuxin said: This is strange.Jin Shousheng is not dumb.Was hacked more than 20 knives, but didn't say a word?
He Liu told old man Lin: "Go, take me to the room where Jin Shousheng lives."

Old man Lin led He Liu to a room on the second floor of the east building of the inn.On both sides of the door, there are two servants of the government office.

Old man Lin said: "After Master Jin died, the magistrate's yamen ordered that this house be strictly guarded until the imperial court sent imperial envoys to come and inspect it."

He Liu nodded and told Old Man Lin, "Wait for me at the door."

After speaking, He Liu entered the room.

In the center of the room, there is a wooden table.On the wooden table, there was a set of tea sets neatly arranged.In a teacup, there is still half a bowl left to drink, and this half cup of tea has already formed a thick layer of theophylline.

He Liu was a little strange, after being hacked more than 20 times, even if Jin Shousheng couldn't fight back, he would always roll and bounce on the ground three times, right?But there is no trace of Jin Shousheng's struggle here at all.

When he walked to the door, He Liu suddenly noticed something!
On the window next to the door, there was a small round hole in the window paper.

Looking at the ground along the round hole, I saw a wooden tube as thick as chopsticks and as long as one finger on the ground.The wooden tube is hollow, with a lotus flower dangling from the tail.

How could He Liu not recognize this thing?This is the incense tube used by Jiangyang robbers and flower pickers!
He Liu immediately understood why Jin Shousheng didn't resist after being hacked more than 20 times!He was stunned first and then killed!
He Liu put the incense tube into his sleeve.

After some investigation at the post station, he returned to the palace of the imperial envoy.

Li Zipian is waiting for him in the Xingyuan hall.

He Liu asked: "I asked you to check the number of acres of land under the name of King Liao. How did your check go?"

Li Zipian sighed: "Oh, a total of [-] mu was found. The common people said that half of Jingzhou's land belonged to the Liao King. It's unfounded! The [-] mu found is probably just a drop in the bucket! "

He Liu smiled: "It's not unusual. King Liao had already planned to hide it from the world. He entrusted his land to the rich local gentry."

After finishing speaking, He Liu took out the account book that Mu Sheng sent from his arms, and handed it to Li Zipian: "This account book records the location and the number of acres of land owned by the King of Liao. You can use the usual method of our Jinyiwei to find out the land. , to frighten those wealthy households and squires, ordering them to write confessions and confirm the fields on the booklet one by one.”

Li Zipian took the account book and looked through it carefully.

He Liu was playing with the incense tube found in the room where Jin Shousheng lived.

After reading the account book, Li Zipian was overjoyed: "Sixth brother! With this account book in hand, I can measure the land of King Liao clearly! I am not afraid that King Liao will deny the account! But, where did you get such an important account book? "

He Liudao: "Mu Sheng, the governor of Jingzhou Mansion, sent it to me. He wants to use this account book as a stepping stone to be promoted!"

Li Zipian said: "Sixth brother, love is born from the heart. I don't think Mu Sheng is a good person."

When He Liu heard the words, he put the incense tube by his hand.He took a sip and said: "Mu Sheng is a villain. How could I not know? However, I have already promised him that after the matter is completed, I will give him a role as a fourth-rank official."

Li Zipian was stunned: "Sixth brother, you want to promote a villain? Isn't it appropriate?"

He Liu smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, I have my own opinion."

Suddenly, Li Zipian's eyes stopped on the incense stick in He Liu's hand.

Li Zipian walked up to He Liu, took a look at the incense tube, and asked, "Brother Liu, where did you get this thing from?"

He Liudao: "I found it in the room where Jin Shousheng was killed. If my prediction is correct, Jin Shousheng should have been poisoned by Mixiang first, and then he was hacked to death! Why, do you know this thing?"

Li Zipian smiled wryly: "My sixth brother! How could I not know about this thing! Look, there is a blooming lotus flower at the end of this incense tube. The name of this thing is: Lotus Faint Stick! I am in Qianmen Yu Jiao, the third younger brother among them, loves to use a lotus stun stick to stun people and steal property if he fails to cheat!"

He Liu said, "Where does your third junior brother usually live?"

Li Zipian said: "I live in Jingzhou City! Originally, I planned to go to him to catch up with him after finishing the case!"

He Liudao: "Can you find him now?"

Li Zipian nodded: "I can find it."

He Liudao: "Take me to see him."

Li Zipian said: "This lotus stun stick looks like his. Maybe he is the murderer. Let's go here, do you want to bring some more warriors?"

He Liudao: "Choose ten smart and capable ones, bring hand guns, and go with us!"

Li Zipian led He Liu and ten warriors to the gate of a big house in the south of Jingzhou city.

The gate of the mansion is closed.

Li Zipian knocked on the door knocker six times, and then said loudly: "A modest gentleman, don't drink the water from the stolen spring."

Not long after, a servant opened the door: "May I ask what your idea is?"

Li Zipian said: "Six yellow ideas!"

The servant cupped his hands: "It turns out that the elders from the door have arrived."

Li Zipian smiled: "I am Yu San'er's elder brother. Take me to see him quickly!"
