The original conversation in the flower hall stopped, and suddenly there was a loud bang in the silence, Tong Shu jumped out and hugged his head and ran away, Xue Pan chased after him from behind with a folding fan, and saw Tong Shu running away so fast - Tong Shu's family origins, his skills are still very powerful, Xue Pan couldn't catch up, so he had to cross his waist and scold, "I look at that Feng Gongzi is looking at you, I will see that things are not done well, I will tie up your Tong Gongzi and wash it and give it to that Feng Gongzi, in this case, it must be how it is, The wharf can still be built well! ”

Just kidding, but Feng Yuan's attitude is so clear, it is difficult to do things well, Xue Pan has already walked out of the flower hall, so he simply paced in the courtyard, it is already the weather in May, and the morning is a little hot, fortunately there is a willow tree in the courtyard, the shade under the tree is quite cool, Xue Pan is pacing under the tree to think, he thought about it, and called the steward to come in, "Ask Li Bantou them, what happened yesterday?" How is Chen Laosan's family? Did you make a statement? ”

The steward went to invite Li Bantou, Xue Pan was in the shade of the tree, ordered Zhen'er to bring two chairs out, Li Bantou arrived and hurriedly said hello, Xue Pan smiled and said that there was no need to be polite, and asked Li Bantou to sit down, Li Bantou was very unwilling, Xue Pan and urged, then leaned on the chair and sat down sideways, Xue Pan asked about last night, Li Bantou shook his head, "There is nothing else, Chen Laosan's side, asked some things out, Chen Laosan's family explained, said that a few days ago, I don't know how, Chen Laosan seems to have gotten a lot of money, He went out to eat and drink and visit the kiln every day, and he didn't talk to his family, so he disappeared for several days, and his family didn't have a theory, and he died in the stone factory without thinking. ”

"I'm a layman in this matter," Xue Pan said, "What's in it, how to judge the case, I still have to ask Li Bantou to talk about it, and listen to the opinions of you professionals." ”

"The current situation is not good for adults," Li Bantou carefully organized his words, "Now it seems that Chen Laosan was killed by someone, and the rest of the places can't see what, but he died in the adult's stone factory, if it is according to the previous rules, the stone factory will be immediately sealed, and all the people will be dragged back to the yamen to be tortured......"

Li Bantou's meaning, if it weren't for the face of the Xue family, I was afraid that the stone factory would have been closed at this time, Xue Pan listened to it sullenly, but he also knew that the investigation methods in this era were backward, except for extorting confessions by torture, the rest did not do a good job to do a better investigation method, and the first time to seal the scene of the crime and torture the suspicious people present, if Xue Pan was allowed to eat this bowl of rice, he would probably do the same.

"I know that Li Bantou has worked hard," Xue Pan frowned and thought about it, "The stone factory wants to produce materials, and it can't be stopped, but in order to prove his innocence, he can stop working for a few days, and the people in the stone factory are allowed to be interrogated and interrogated by Li Bantou, although I am not afraid of doing this myself, but I am also willing to cooperate in order to prove my innocence." ”

Li Bantou is very grateful now, it has always been the most common phenomenon that the face of the wealthy family is ugly and difficult to do, Xue Pan actually doesn't think that this is a matter that damages his own face, and is willing to cooperate, this is full of hospitality, "The lord immediately gave the Chen Sanjia to bury the silver yesterday, this is a good way, the parties are less sad and angry, and the rest of the people are naturally less inciting." ”

"I asked you to watch their orphans and widows, also for this, I'm afraid that there will be some trouble, in case something happens to the Chen San's family last night, then I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River."

"If the bitter master doesn't make trouble, the rest of the people naturally won't have much to say," Li Bantou nodded and said, "According to the small meaning, if it can be calmed down, it doesn't hurt if you can't find the real culprit at that time." ”

Xue Pan was about to say something more, but Tong Shufu, who had rushed out just now, rushed in again, his face was very frightened, "The people below came to report, saying that those bastards were making noise to the farmers, and they wanted to surround the stone factory, so we must have an explanation!" ”

Xue Pan was shocked, "I told you to look at those people, why is it useless?" What are those people under you doing? Eat for nothing and don't work? ”

In a hurry, Xue Pan was a little speechless, if there was no Tong Shu's servant to keep an eye on, I was afraid that he would be surrounded at this time, and the people inside would not know what was going on. Tong Shu was very aggrieved, "If these minions are indeed masters of smashing and robbing, it will be difficult for them to keep an eye on them, and they will not specialize in art." ”

Xue Pan wanted to laugh again, and was annoyed, and felt that the time was wrong, at this time, these people in the stone factory, could not stop the surging people, he hurriedly paced back and forth under the tree, everyone did not dare to disturb Xue Pan, so he waited anxiously, the steward heard this on the side, and inevitably fainted again because of excessive blood loss, Li Bantou hurriedly stopped, after a while, Xue Pan came back to his senses and set a method, "The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall," Xue Pan said simply"I can't be trapped here, if I do, then everything is over, and I am very likely to become the first Wupin official who has been surrounded by peasants in the courtyard and unable to move for thousands of years since the dynasty, so it will not be remembered deeply, Zhen'er," he instructed Zhen'er, and shouted loudly, "Prepare the carriage outside, while they haven't come around, let's thirty-six plans, go for the best plan!" ”

Tong Shu saw that Xue Pan didn't mention himself, so he pointed to his nose with his finger, "Brother Wenlong, what about me?" ”

"You just stay in this place, if we all leave, those countrymen must think that we are thieves and run away, of course you have to stay here," Xue Pan said strictly, "Preside over the overall situation, be sure to keep the dock, and don't allow them to smash it." ”

Li Bantou is here, these peasant households do not dare to think of killing and robbing, but beware of them smashing, the Chinese have always believed that the law does not blame the public, if everyone does it together, absolutely no one will be held accountable at the time. When Tong Shu heard this, he couldn't help but have a bitter face, "This? I can't afford it! ”

"If you can't afford it, you have to bear it," Xue Pan said with a straight face, "You have shares in this wharf, you have taken out those private houses, and you have embezzled the 100,000 taels of silver that your master has stored in the ticket number. ”
