Chu Tianpeng said a little helplessly: "The villain called a woman named Mei Xiang in Cuihong Mansion last night, and I slept with her at night. Just now the master asked, I thought this kind of thing was still not publicized, if my lady knew, she would have to pick my skin. This also explains why I didn't go directly to the Cui Hong Mansion, but just called the woman inside to come out. ”

Liu Tianxiong said slowly: "In other words, as long as we have asked Mei Xiang, we will know if you had time to commit the crime last night?"

"Exactly. Please Mingjian! ”

"This master has his own opinions!"

Liu Tianxiong turned his head and said a few words to the official behind him, and the official nodded incessantly, and then walked out of the door.

The sun's rays are getting brighter and brighter, and the flowers and plants in the Zhou family's compound are dazzling by the sun's rays.

Song Ruilong glanced out the window, immediately closed his eyes, he turned around, sat on a chair, looked at Chen Changsheng who was standing on the side, and said, "I believe that we will soon know whether Zhou Zhao is lying or not." You don't have to worry, if Zhou Zhao is really lying, this county will definitely seek justice for your master. ”

Chen Changsheng's face was proud, and he said, "Master Xie is the master of my family."

Song Ruilong shook the fan gently, his tone softened, and said, "Hey! Steward Chen, just now I heard Zhou Zhao's family say that your life was saved by your master, what is going on? ”

Chen Changsheng said respectfully: "Oh, that's the case. Ten years ago, when my lord was in good health, he often traveled north and south, selling some horses and medicinal herbs. My lord waved his palms and defeated the robbers who came to chase me, which saved Xiaoyi's life. The younger one is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he has always respected my master. ”

Song Ruilong said with a smile: "So, your master knows martial arts?"

Chen Changsheng said excitedly: "Of course, my master's Ling Feng Thirteen Palms can be said to have few opponents in the rivers and lakes. It's just that in the last five years, after my lord returned to seclusion, he built this manor, and his martial arts have never been used again. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "I see." I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person in my Ping'an County, and the county didn't find out, and didn't come to visit your lord when he was alive, which is really a big loss for the county! ”

The bead curtain moved.

Two people walked from behind the bead curtain, one was Song Ruilong's mother Zhang Meixian, and the other was Zhou Shicheng's third lady Zhao Xuetao.

Zhang Meixian took Zhao Xuetao's hand and walked in front of Song Ruilong, and then, he let go of Zhao Xuetao's hand, walked to Song Ruilong's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and then said loudly: "Now you should believe that what Mrs. Zhou said is true, right?" Therefore, it will not work if you want to make a breakthrough in solving the case from here, I think it is better for you to put your mind on Zhou Shicheng's enemy. Just now, when I was in the inner room to check on Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou said that her husband had many enemies, including thieves and horses, high-ranking officials, and business enemies, so it was really not easy to find out the murderer of Zhou Shicheng. ”

Song Ruilong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Oh, mother, don't worry about this case." The mother just tells the child the results of the verification. Also, after you and Tie Zhutou checked in the boudoir of Zhou Yuanwai's daughter, how was the situation? ”

Zhang Meixian sighed: "Hi! Don't mention it, Zhou Tianxiang died too miserably. Zhang Meixian spoke, tears were about to flow out, "This week, the girl looks really smart, I expected her to be my daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect her to encounter an accident." ”

Zhang Meixian sighed again, and said with some sadness: "Before Tie Zhutou and I walked into Zhou Tianxiang's boudoir, we smelled a smell of blood. Zhou Tianxiang has a pinch mark on her neck, and there are bruises on her hands and face, according to her mother's years of experience in judging cases, this Zhou girl is because she tried her best to resist, and when the gangsters failed to succeed, the gangsters strangled her to death. ”

Song Ruilong also felt a little sorry that a flower had not bloomed yet, so he was brutally killed.

Song Ruilong adjusted his emotions and said, "Mother, you go on, didn't you say that there is a strange man?"

Zhang Meixian said: "Hey, you don't know, that man died even worse." His throat had been cut with a knife, and he was covered in blood, and his eyes were staring at the roof as if he were dead. ”

Song Ruilong asked while thinking, "What's that man's name?" Did you find out? ”

Zhang Meixian was a little proud, and said: "The old lady is only responsible for the autopsy, as for the name of the deceased?" Why did it appear in Zhou Tianxiang's boudoir? And why was he killed? Also, did he do anything to Miss Tenka before he died? That's what you're supposed to do. Forgive my mother, I can't help it. ”

Zhang Meixian seems to be angry with Song Ruilong. Of course, Song Ruilong also guessed Zhang Meixian's intentions. Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "Okay, this investigation is in the hands of your son, but this autopsy is your responsibility, you tell me first, what characteristics does the deceased have, his appearance and height, whether he has crooked eyes or squint, this is always your responsibility, right?"

"Hey! How did I give birth to such a son as you? Zhang Meixian said helplessly, "Okay, I'll tell you." The deceased was a short, scrawny man. The bridge of his nose is almost as flat as his face, but his nose is cocked high. The eyebrows extend very long to the sides, which is typical of thieves. His arms are very long, and his nails are as long as a knife, and with his nails, it can be said that there is no lock in this Ping'an County that he can't open. ”

Song Ruilong's eyes lit up, and he said, "What are you talking about, but the thief Hou San?"

Zhang Meixian smiled and said, "My son, I can't see that you are quite smart, so you can guess it." This Hou Sanmian is ugly and rarely shows up, so there are few people who have seen his true face, but our magistrate caught him a few times, and each time because he was suspected of a small case, he was released after a few days. Today, I didn't expect Hou San to die in the boudoir of Zhou Yuanwai's daughter, this is really an eye-opener! ”

Song Ruilong said: "Mother, how can you say that? Even if this Hou San should be cut with a thousand knives, it is not the turn of others to control his life and death. If that's the case, wouldn't my Great Song Law be in vain? ”

Zhang Meixian raised her eyebrows and said, "Who said it wasn't." This Hou is in his thirties and forties, and he has not yet married a wife, whether he was killed because he coveted Miss Zhou's beauty, but it is difficult to say. ”

Song Ruilong thought about it, but he still didn't understand whether the death of Ning Tianxiang, Zhou Shicheng, Zhou Tianxiang and Hou San's death had anything to do with these murders, but he still wanted to solve them one by one.

Song Ruilong pulled Zhang Meixian aside and said, "Mother, your son has to come out to solve the case, but the old lady has to come out to collect materials." I'm afraid that this iron catcher is inexperienced in this area, so you'd better get busy over there first, old lady! ”

As Song Ruilong spoke, he had already pushed Zhang Meixian to the door.

Zhang Meixian was unhappy and said, "What? You use the old lady here, and you called me over with a word, and if you don't need it, push the old lady out? Really, what kind of son is this? ”

After Song Ruilong sent Zhang Meixian out of the door, he looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Okay, let's continue to apply for the case." What you said just now about Zhou Zhao's lying, after the county's inspection, the situation is true, Zhou Zhao did not lie, what she said last night, Zhou Shicheng and her had two hours of fish and water love, it is indeed true, I don't know what Steward Chen has to say? ”

Chen Changsheng looked at Song Ruilong with suspicion and said, "This ...... How can this kind of thing be tested? The old man didn't see it with his own eyes......"

"Bastard!" Song Ruilong scolded sharply: "Zhou Zhao is just a weak woman, besides, she and Zhou Shicheng have a very good relationship with husband and wife, is it necessary for her to lie?" It's you, Chen Changsheng, you have repeatedly asked if the two hours are true, and what do you want? ”

Chen Changsheng saw that Song Ruilong was angry, so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Please master Mingjian." It's not that the little ones don't believe in the third lady, it's really what the third lady does that the little ones can't agree with. ”

Song Ruilong glared at Chen Changsheng and said, "Tell me what these three ladies have done to be sorry for your master?"

Chen Changsheng said: "If you go back to the eldest master, my lord will marry three wives. One is the eldest lady, the daughter Huang Qiulian outside the Huang Yuan in the east of the city, has a daughter Zhou Tianxiang, and the second lady Wang Jin Qiaosheng is as beautiful as a flower, but she has been in the door for 15 years and has not given birth to a son and a half daughter. Five years ago, the lord took a fancy to Zhao Xuetao, a woman in the Qinglou, and married her back home. Zhao Xuetao can't have children in two years, and my lord has already stopped mentioning the matter of giving birth to offspring and passing on the ancestry, but suddenly one day, a visiting Langzhong, named Bai Xiaosheng, said that he had a secret recipe to let my lord have descendants to pass on the ancestry. My lord believed it and invited him home to give him a generous gift, treating him like a dear ......"

Zhao Xuetao interrupted Chen Changsheng's words and said, "Steward Chen, what do you mean?" The matter of Bai Xiaosheng, the lord and the people in the garden know, it is not a secret, what do you mean by saying these words in front of the lord's dead today? ”

Chen Changsheng glared at Zhao Xuetao and sneered, "What do I mean? You know best! ”

Zhao Xuetao said bitterly: "Steward Chen, you have made it clear, I don't understand."

Song Ruilong felt that there must be some story between Chen Changsheng and Zhao Xuetao, their quarrel may not be a good thing, maybe the real reason for Zhou Shicheng's death can be found out from it, so Song Ruilong did not interrupt the quarrel between Chen Changsheng and Zhao Xuetao, he is now watching the excitement as if he is a bystander.

Chen Changsheng said: "It will make you understand." I remember that back then, when Bai Xiaosheng lived in Zhou Yuan, you and he looked at each other as if they had known each other a few years ago. You have been in a secret room with him no less than ten times, and then you will be happy, who do you say is most credited with this? ”

Zhao Xuetao stared, unable to say a word for a long time, and said, "You...... It's been four years since this happened, so why do you want to mention it again? ”

Song Ruilong felt that the opportunity had come, so he interjected and said, "Steward Chen, what do you want to do with Zhou Shicheng's death?"
