Su Jin is used to sleeping late, and is pulling a few handmaidens to play checkers, the round mahogany tray is smashed by Su Jin with a small hammer out of a regular arrangement of small pits, and then painted with red, yellow, blue, white and black five colors, with small glass balls dyed in the same color, a pair of five-star checkers is completed.

Su Jin and Rou Niang Huanniang Xiao Suier Xiaomier are exactly five people together, you can kill a plate if you have nothing to do, this thing is easy to use, you only need to have an accurate vision and a little calculation to play with the wind and water, so several people quickly became obsessed with this novel toy.

When the shopkeeper Zhao led Liu Dacheng to Su Mansion out of breath, the chessboard was in a state of stalemate, and the balls of various colors were wrapped around the middle area and were difficult to solve.

The housekeeper Su Fu knocked on the door outside the courtyard to report, and when Su Jin heard that the shopkeeper Zhao had come to see him so late, something important must have happened, so he hurriedly called for help.

A few people settled in the study, and after Rou Niang sent the fragrant tea, she gently withdrew, and Su Jin asked: "The big shopkeeper, Master Liu, there must be something important to say when you come so late." ”

Zhao Da's shopkeeper had a worried face, and glanced at Liu Dacheng, and the two suddenly left their seats and bowed down and said: "The old man is incompetent, and he has betrayed the trust of the young owner, please punish the young owner." ”

Su Jin hurriedly pulled the two of them up and said, "What is this for?" If you have something to say, it's good to say. ”

Zhao Da's shopkeeper said to Liu Dacheng: "Tell the young owner what you heard without concealment, and ask the young owner to decide." ”

Liu Dacheng told Su Jin everything he had seen and heard in the past few days, the more Su Jin listened, the more frightened he became, knowing that someone would secretly play bad, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he didn't expect to use the old method of dealing with Su Moran to deal with himself.

Shopkeeper Zhao and Liu Dacheng's eyes followed Su Jin's back and forth figure, and Su Jin's depressed and serious face made the atmosphere in the room a little solidified.

Suddenly, Su Jin stopped and asked, "Does anyone still know about this matter?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Except for the three of us, no one else knows. ”

Su Jin showed a slight smile on his face, and his expression became cheerful, Zhao and Liu were confused, did the young owner laugh angrily?

"You have done a good job in this matter, discovered it in a timely manner, and handled it properly, not only should you not be punished, but you should also be praised." Su Jin said with a smile.

"But...... Shaodong, that Qin Dalang is a villain......" Liu Dacheng was a little unsuitable for Su Jin's magnanimity.

Su Jin laughed and said: "You don't have to stop all the responsibility on yourself, according to what you just said, Qin Dalang was coerced into being an internal ghost after entering Su Ji, and he really has nothing to do with you; Moreover, the people behind Qin Dalang are calculating or not, even if there is no Qin Dalang, there will be other people who will be coerced and coerced, but this Qin Dalang is a more suitable candidate, he has no relatives and relatives in Luzhou, and he is alone, plus he is poor and has a weak temperament, which is exactly the person they are looking for; To put it mildly, no one will ask about such a person, even if he is killed. ”

"What? Will it be extinguished? Shopkeeper Zhao shouted to Liu Dacheng.

Su Jin frowned and thought: "This possibility can't be ruled out, what did you say that the person who met Qin Dalang claimed to be Scarface Heiqi, is there such a person among the merchants in Luzhou City?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao is well-informed, but after thinking hard, he said: "I don't have any impression, but this name is very familiar, very familiar, and I can't remember it for a while." ”

Su Jin's spirits perked up, and he inspired: "Isn't it, this person used to be very famous on the street or something, which made you have such an impression." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao lowered his head, his eyebrows and beard wrinkled together, looking extremely painful, Su Jin saw that he couldn't remember it, so he said, "Then don't care who this person is......"

Before he could say anything, the shopkeeper Zhao shouted: "It's him......"

Su Jin hurriedly said: "Do you remember who he is?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said suspiciously: "No, five years ago, I beheaded dozens of bandits in Dashu Mountain, among which there was such a leader called Scarface Black Seven, that time when Sanxiaokou was beheaded, we all went to see the excitement, and saw with our own eyes that those bandits were cut off one by one, why did a Scarface Black Seven come out again." ”

Su Jin hurriedly asked, "Then did you see the face of the beheaded person clearly at that time?" ”

"They all have loose hair, dirty, and strips of cloth in their mouths, so they can't see clearly." Shopkeeper Zhao said.

Su Jin was silent, it is very likely that this is a bag drop, but this matter can only be guessed, this matter is a big leak, he is a small businessman, and he can't leak this matter without real evidence.

Judgment of cases and supervision and beheading are often two different things, and there are only two ways to make the supervisor appointed by the Imperial Historical Observatory unable to see the flaws when verifying his identity.

One is to drop the bag after the identity is verified, which is almost impossible, because the prisoner will only be verified when he is brought to prison before the execution, and then all the way under the nose of the prison officer, there are thousands of pairs of ordinary people's eyes staring along the street, and there is no chance at all.

Then there is only one possibility, the prison officer was bought; The state government has the power to impose the death penalty, but the prison beheading is the responsibility of the inspectors, and the inspectors who were originally sent by the imperial court to inspect hundreds of bureaucrats, patrol the prefectures and counties, and rectify the prisons, and rectify the court rituals and supervise the prisoners can be bribed, so it can be seen that this matter is absolutely unspeakable.

"This matter will stop here, and there is no need to talk about Scarface Black Seven, remember!" Su Jin solemnly warned.

Zhao Da's shopkeeper is old and refined, and after a little thought, he understands Su Jin's semantics, don't say it, and don't want to think about it a second time; Liu Dacheng didn't understand it at all, so he agreed resignedly, and the expression on his face was not as dignified as that of Su Jin and Zhao's shopkeeper.

"Shao Dong, how to deal with Qin Dalang's matter, please make it clear to Shao Dong."

Su Jin said: "Don't startle the snake, from tomorrow, you have to pretend that nothing happened, then Qin Dalang will inquire about the news again, don't say it to others, you go and tell him, let him tell the other party; I have a lot to do with him. ”

Zhao Liu and the others couldn't figure out what Su Jin was thinking, and found that the inner ghost not only did not find out, but was kind to say, he knew everything if he wanted to know, which was strange.

"Is it really up to him to pass on all the secrets of Su Ji? Isn't it the other party's trick? Who knows if the man behind the scenes has other, more insidious intentions? Shopkeeper Zhao said.

"Of course, I can't tell him everything, pick some irrelevant things to let him know, in short, you have to grasp the proportions well, and you can't leave too many traces, I can't teach this matter, everything depends on the two of you to grasp it yourself, but you must put an end to Qin Dalang's contact with other guys, others may be tricked out of the real secret by him if they don't know."

"Understood, young owner." The two responded in unison, although they couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Su Jin's gourd, but from Su Jin's confident demeanor, their worries were swept away.

Su Jin smiled again and said, "This time Master Liu handled it very well, but later he told the guy in the inn to shut up and pretend to be an official to handle the case, which was a bit of a trick; In this way, the people in the inn will definitely think that Qin Dalang is a thief, and even if he hides his eyes, there will be something different, Qin Dalang is a thief, and he must be extremely sensitive to these subtleties. ”

Liu Dacheng said ashamedly: "What the young owner said is that the villain is confused. ”

Su Jin said: "It can still be remedied, tomorrow morning, I will arrange for Qin Dalang to move out of the inn, find a private house to settle in, and tell him that because of his outstanding performance, Su Ji will bear his rent, and there must be people who are not familiar with Qin Dalang next door and opposite to the private house to monitor, so that Qin Dalang's every move will be under control, and at the same time, the people in the inn will not arouse suspicion." ”

Liu Dacheng praised: "It's a good idea to do it in the young owner, I'll do it early tomorrow morning, there are many such houses." ”

Su Jin took a sip of the teacup, and the two of them exited the door in a playful manner.

Su Jin sat in the study and thought carefully for a long time, and Xiao Sui'er yawned a few times before returning to the room to sleep.
