It is said that Bao Heizi took Li Deli and Chen Jia with him in the same place, and took them with him, preparing to go to each other for inspection. I quit the church, brought my officer card at that time, and came straight to Liulitun.

All the residents along the way, when they heard about the murder, they all knew that Master Bao, the big blue sky, was leaving, and this was the last time he was to avenge his grievances in Tianchang County, and they came to watch behind him in a sedan chair.

By daylight, it was already in town. Chen Jia's subordinate Zhang Luo and Wang San, and the town's squire Li Yi had already arrived at the mansion and came to greet him.

Bao Heizi first asked two ordinary words, and then dismounted and said: "This county will go to the Li Family Inn to investigate, and then appear for inspection." As he spoke, he first arrived at the door of the inn, and saw two corpses, lying underneath, and died of knife wounds.

Immediately, Li Deli asked, "Did this corpse fall here?" Li Deli saw that Master Bao asked this first, and hurriedly replied: "Master Grace, this is Chen Jia's intention to harm people, so he will kill the corpse and abandon it at the entrance of the town, so that he can deny it later." The villain could not involve the innocent, so he still moved in front of his house. Ask the master to be clear. ”

Master Bao didn't wait for him to finish, and shouted at the time: "You dog head, this county doesn't ask who the murderer is, since you are in public service, how can you know the law and break the law, but you know what crime should be committed when moving the body?" Regardless of whether Li Deli intended to harm people, since he abandoned the corpse at the entrance of the town, you should report to the county first, explain the reason, and wait for the county to inspect before you can ask for the seal. Why do you defy the king's law and dare to move these two corpses here! This is a deliberate deception, which can be seen; Otherwise, they will conspire with him to kill, and because of the injustice in the distribution of the spoils, they will be the first to take the lead. The county first severely punished you, and then tortured you. "He ordered the servants to be beaten with two hundred rods.

When he boarded, Chen Jia shouted and screamed, and his skin and flesh bloomed. All the people in that town knew that Li Deli was wronged. was falsely accused by Chen Jia, but it was a human life case, and he didn't dare to get involved, at this time, seeing Lord Bao doing this, everyone was already convinced, and said: "Sure enough, the name is well deserved, what a shrewd Qing official!" ”

"Of course, our Lord Bao is like a god in Tianchang County."

Hearing this, the visitor was silent, and a person next to him whispered: "Are we revealing our identities?" ”

"No, you can't. Wait, the final work of others, we can't surpass it. We'll see you again in the future. Besides, this Bao Zheng has won the hearts of the people, and my lord wants to settle down in Tianchang County, so I want to occupy his light. "This person is dressed as a scholar, and he is studying with a master beside him.

At that time, after beating Chen Jia, he was still unswerving, and Master Bao was just demanding, and took everyone to Kong's house. He asked Li Deli: "Although your family has more than a dozen houses, but yesterday's guests, which house they lived in, you will explain." ”

Li Deli saw Chen Jia beat him. Relieved in his heart, Lord Bao asked, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied honestly: "Only enter three rooms behind." It's a villain couple living with my daughter. The two rooms to the east are the kitchens, and these five houses never live in guests. Only the advance is the same as the progress, so that the guests live. Yesterday the two guests came, and the villain, because he was a silk seller, could not help but have money, and it was not very appropriate to move forward, so he invited him to live in Zhongjin. As he spoke, he took the bag and went to Zhongjin and pointed to the house above.

Master Bao and everyone went in to take a closer look, and sure enough, they saw that there was still Shang on the table. There were traces of food and wine, which had not been removed, and there were two night pots in front of the bed, and after reading them, there was no trace of them, and I was afraid that what he had given was not true, and asked, "Since you have opened an inn in this place for decades, and the passers-by must live here more, are there only two of them yesterday, and there are no other guests?" ”

Li Deli said: "In addition, there are three guests, one is to sell silk to Taiyuan; Those two are the master and servant, from Kaifeng to here, and now they are still sleeping here because of their illness! ”

At that time, Mr. Bao first brought the silk guest to inquire, saying that "the surname Wang is named Weishui, and he has done this physiology all over the years, and he has lived here." Yesterday the two guests went out at the dawn of the day, and did not hear the shouts during the night, and I really do not know why he died. And when he brought the servant to him, he said the same thing, and said that his master was sick, and had not slept all night, and if there had been any other reason, how could there be no movement.

Master Bao listened to everyone in unison, all saying that it was not Li Deli who killed him, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, so he had to go back inside, and take a closer look everywhere, but there was still no trace. He said in his heart: "This case is obviously killed outside, if it is in this house, it is the three people who deny it, how can there be no shadow at all?" "I was confused, so I had to come out. When I arrived at the entrance of the town, I saw that the place where I had been killed was covered with blood, scattered everywhere, left and right, and there was no one to live in, so I had to bring the residents of the town to interrogate. They all say that they don't know the plot. Because he had seen passers-by come earlier, he knew that there was a case, so he called Chen Jia and visited carefully, only to know that he was a guest in the Li family's store.

Master Bao thought to himself: "Could it be that this Chen Jia did it?" At this time, it is getting late, and I can't forgive each other, so I will visit carefully for the night to see how it is, and then we will review it tomorrow morning. After thinking about it, he said to the squire: "This county has always had cases, and they can be asked and concluded at any time, so they will be reported today, and they will come to investigate." But this murder is serious, it is not a daytime examination, it cannot be proper, and the county will stay here for a while, and the examination will be held tomorrow. ”

instructed the messenger to take care of it, and went to the mansion by himself to talk to the squire Li Yi. beckoned everyone to retreat, and the entourage Wang Chao shouted: "This case must not be Li Deli's doing, this county is afraid that this Chen Jia has done this, but he will come out of his own hands and harm others." You should pay a closer visit and report quickly. ”

Wang Chao immediately took the order out, found the guy Wang San, and saw a messenger on duty, and said: "I came with the master to handle this case, and there is no bitter master's family, and there is no master, seeing that Li Lao'er is a wronged, although we are people who eat at the public gate, we can't innocently Luo Hao good people, at this time the stomach is already hungry, Chen Jia is the local protector here, don't you prepare a glass of wine?" It's not in vain for us to wait, uncle's integrity, who doesn't know, after returning to the government tomorrow, we will always give food to the workers, and we will also pay it back at that time, at this time, we will really starve? ”

Wang San heard Wang Chao's words, and hurried up to greet him: "Wang Zhutou doesn't have to be angry, this is our land protection, haunt the case, forget to call people to prepare." Even if the head catcher and the brothers are hungry, I will ask for a cup of the villain. It's on the East Street restaurant in the town, just eat indiscriminately. Saying that, he sent two more people to guard the corpse, and he and the public came to the restaurant. Those little two, seeing that it was the county's tolerance, knew that they were here for a murder case, so they hurried up to ask long and short questions, and put a lot of wine and food on the table.

Wang Chao said: "I waited for an unusual errand service, and when I encountered a case, I ate and drank, took the money from the victim, and then extorted some silver taels to walk." You bring two ordinary meals, eat two glasses of wine, and forget it. How much money is in total, and then I will give you a total of money. With that, everyone sat down.

Wang Chao knew that after Chen Jia was beaten, he was in Li's house for Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, and said to Wang San at that time: "The head of your family is too negligent, why was he not at home all night yesterday, and came back today, knowing about this case, he thought that Li Lao'er had a lot of silver taels, but people refused, so they gave birth to this poisonous plan and moved the body at the head of his house, isn't it too hot?" Where did he go last night, this is the place in front of him, why can't even you patrol it? Now that the master has beaten him with 200 torture rods, he will hand over the murderer tomorrow, don't you think this is asking for his own hardship. ”

Wang San said: "Wang Zhutou, you don't know the inner plot, because you are not outsiders, so you dare to say this." Chen Jia has a grudge against Li Lao'er, whenever it comes to the New Year's Festival, he is only willing to give those few copper coins, and he usually wants to move a penny with him, but he can't. Last night, Chen Jia was gambling at Xiao Liuzi's house and lost a lot of debts. When it was dawn, it was impossible to get out, and suddenly there was a commotion in the town and the murder was announced. He visited someone from the Li family, so he had this idea and wanted to take revenge. I knew that it wasn't Li Deli in this matter, but I wanted to blackmail him, but I was scolded, wouldn't it hurt others and harm myself? But this case is really strange, it was obviously a matter of dawn, and I only came back from another place after I played the correct change, and I didn't wake up until I woke up. Although Li Lao'er is a miserly person, I see this matter, he will never dare to do it. ”

When Wang Chao heard this, he also vaguely agreed, thinking that according to him, this matter was not Chen Jia, but he wanted to blackmail him for a few taels of silver. Now that he has tried to do what he wants, he has been heavily punished with 200 boards, which can be regarded as a crime, but the murderer does not know who he is, and this matter is not easy to do. immediately gobbled it up, finished eating the wine and dinner, calculated the accounts, beckoned him to collect it in the mansion tomorrow, said goodbye to the public, came to Lord Bao, and said Fang Cai's words again.

Bao Dadao: "This case is very strange, if it wasn't for Chen Jia's doing, these two people must have exposed the silver money elsewhere first, and were seen and followed here by the gangsters. Otherwise, why were both of them killed at the entrance of the town? Since this county is the parents of the people, it is necessary to avenge the grievances of the deceased, so that they can go up to the king and down to the people. And what will happen after tomorrow's inspection, and then check and seize. "At that time, the dynasty withdrew, and waited for the inspection to start tomorrow morning. (To be continued......)
