Chapter 74: Sorting things out

After learning that Li Yuntian was coming, Li Ren, who was absentmindedly looking at the accounts in the study, was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to the living room, waiting cautiously on the side, feeling uneasy and uneasy.

The so-called shadow of the famous tree of people, Li Yuntian has not missed a single case since he took charge of Hukou County, and he can be said to be famous in Jiujiang Mansion, and he now hopes that Li Yuntian can find out the truth and return Li Qing to a clean slate, but he is also worried that if the truth found out by Li Yuntian is unfavorable to the Li family, his mood is very conflicted.

After Li Yuntian interrogated those people of the Li family, it was already noon, and he didn't get any valuable clues from it, Li Ren had already asked people to prepare a sumptuous luncheon to entertain Li Yuntian and others, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but Li Yuntian politely refused.

The Li family is one of the protagonists of Li Qing's case, and Li Yuntian is now investigating Li Qing's case, so naturally he will not accept Li Ren's hospitality, so as not to leave outsiders behind, so he found a restaurant in Lijiazhuang for lunch, and then returned to the county office.

Under his suggestion, Qian Cheng immediately issued a wanted warrant to the fortune teller, and Li Yuntian had a hunch that the fortune teller actually asked Li Qing's mother to seal the new house, and there must be something strange in it.

At night, in the back house of the county government, in the wing room where Li Yuntian lived, he stood there with his hands on his chest, staring intently at a piece of paper pasted on the wall, on which were written the clues he had obtained about Li Qing's case, including the Li family and the Zhao family, thinking about the connection between them.

"Hey, you've been watching it all afternoon, don't you feel bored?" In front of the table on the side, Zhou Yuting, who was holding her chin with her hands, yawned lazily, and she didn't understand what was so good about that piece of paper.

"Can you tell me, when Li Qing left the Li family, where did the stick in his hand come from?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly, he knew that Zhou Yuting was an impatient person, and it was very rare to stay here with him for so long, so he sat opposite her and asked.

"How do I know? Isn't it just a stick, I'll find you a bunch tomorrow if you want it. Zhou Yuting got up and stretched, and walked towards the door, "I'm tired of a day, I'll go back to sleep, you continue to think about it here." ”

"Do you think I'm willing to stay up late, I heard that people who die unjustly will not be gone, Li Qing must be unwilling to die so miserably, maybe he will come to the county government at night to avenge his grievances." Seeing that Zhou Yuting was leaving, Li Yuntian poured a cup of hot water and said to himself casually while drinking.

"Li Qing's ghost will come here at night?" Zhou Yuting's face couldn't help but change when she heard this, she looked at Li Yuntian after stopping, and asked tentatively.

"I don't know, I haven't met it." Li Yuntian shook his head, pondered for a while, and replied seriously, "However, legend has it that Bao Gong of the Song Dynasty tried cases in the yang world during the day and in the underworld at night. ”

"Seeing that you are working so hard, I will accompany you for a while." Listening to Li Yuntian's ambiguous answer, Zhou Yuting couldn't help but feel a little furious in her heart, flashed her eyelashes a few times, walked back and sat down at the table again, cheered up and looked at the paper on the wall, she didn't want to see Li Qing who came to the county government to avenge her grievances when she was sleeping soundly at night.

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of a smile, he deliberately scared Zhou Yuting just now, the night was long, and it was really boring to think about things alone in the room at night.

When Zhou Yuting woke up in a daze, it was already three poles in the morning, she found herself lying on the ** side room, covered with a thin quilt, in her impression she was sitting on the edge of the table, it seemed that Li Yuntian carried her to **.

At this time, Li Yuntian clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the paper on the wall with a smile, he seemed to be ** not asleep, and there were faint dark circles on his eyes.

Zhou Yuting walked over to take a look, and Li Yuntian had drawn a lot of horizontal and diagonal lines on the paper, marking the relationship between the Li family and the Zhao family, and even the fortune teller was written in, and she was dizzy when she saw it.

"You didn't sleep all night tossing these things?" Zhou Yuting rubbed her eyes and looked at Li Yuntian puzzled.

"This is not a toss in vain, now as long as one problem is solved, then the truth of the case will be revealed." Li Yuntian turned to Zhou Yuting, smiled at her, and said confidently.

"Li Qing came to you last night?" Seeing this, Zhou Yuting suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but feel a chill, and asked subconsciously.

"What do you think?" Li Yuntian laughed, stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, "I lied to you last night to stay, where is there any grievance." ”

"Okay, you're bullying me again." Zhou Yuting was stunned when she heard this, then stomped her foot and stretched out her hand to hit Li Yuntian, it turned out that he was playing with himself again.

"A gentleman's word, a quick whip, you have promised not to beat me again." Li Yuntian hurriedly dodged away and solemnly reminded Zhou Yuting.

"This girl is a little girl, not a gentleman, so as long as you provoke this girl, then this girl will be right." Zhou Yuting's figure froze, and then she thought of something, smiled at Li Yuntian slyly, and said confidently.

"When did you get smarter?" Li Yuntian looked at Zhou Yuting with some astonishment, but he didn't expect Zhou Yuting to be able to catch the flaw in his words.

"This girl will take back the cleverness you gave you little by little in the future, and see how you bully this girl in the future!" Zhou Yuting couldn't help but feel proud, she smiled and clenched her fist at Li Yuntian, she had waited for so long, and finally grabbed Li Yuntian's pigtail, and now she had to take a good breath of stuffiness in her chest.

"Li Qing, why haven't you left yet?" Li Yuntian smiled a little helplessly, and then looked behind Zhou Yuting with a look of surprise, "I'm not suing you, I will definitely help you solve the case." ”

"Ahh Seeing Li Yuntian's troubled appearance, Zhou Yuting, who was unprepared, was so frightened that she couldn't help screaming, and threw herself into Li Yuntian's arms, and said in a loud voice, "Let him go away, let him go away, don't come near me!" ”

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a smug smile, he just used a little trick to make Zhou Yuting disarm and surrender.

"My lord, what's going on?" Hearing Zhou Yuting screaming, Luo Ming and the others in the courtyard hurriedly rushed in and asked with concern.

"It's fine, it's just a cockroach." Li Yuntian smiled and waved his hand to Luo Ming, and easily took Zhou Yuting in his arms.

Seeing this, Luo Ming hurriedly led the people out with interest, and closed the door intimately.

"Did you lie to me again?" After Luo Ming and the others left, Zhou Yuting pushed Li Yuntian away, looking at Li Yuntian angrily, her cheeks flushed.

"Do you want to know what's going on in this case?" Li Yuntian did not answer Zhou Yuting, but changed the topic and asked with a smile.

"You know?" Zhou Yuting was slightly stunned, and only then did she remember that Li Yuntian seemed to be about to solve this case.

"Come!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly, grabbed Zhou Yuting's hand, came to the paper on the wall, pointed to the relationships he drew on the paper, and methodically told Zhou Yuting the process of the case that he speculated.

"Now, it's up to him, as long as we can find him, all the problems will be solved." In the end, Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and patted on a circle, and there was a big greeting in the circle, and several lines on the paper pointed to him, which was the most important character.

"But where are we going to find him?" Zhou Yuting listened very carefully and asked suspiciously.

"Waiting for the news from Zhaojiabao, we should have a harvest." Li Yuntian smiled at Zhou Yuting, got up and walked in the direction of **, and said while yawning, "I have to make up for sleep now, and wake me up when I have dinner." ”

Looking at Li Yuntian, who was quickly lying on the ** and soon fell asleep, Zhou Yuting smiled, got up to leave, and gently closed the door, she felt very relaxed with Li Yuntian, and there was an indescribable sense of security.

When Li Yuntian woke up, night had fallen, and the official sent by Qian Cheng to Zhaojiabao to inquire about the news he needed had returned, bringing with him a list of people who had entered and exited Zhao's mansion in recent years, as well as a list of passengers on the ferry he had taken on the day Li Qing met Zhao Yan.

So, after dinner, he flipped through the two lists in the wing, and the information on the lists was relatively comprehensive, including names, ages, occupations, and so on.

Generally speaking, those large households will register the people who enter the mansion to do things to facilitate management, so the list of people who enter and leave the Zhao mansion is easy to get.

It was mainly the passengers on the ferry with Li Qing that day, which really made those officials bother, and it was not easy to inquire about it.

After flipping through the two lists, Li Yuntian threw them on the table with a snap, and rubbed the temples on both sides of his forehead depressedly, he found that the list of people entering and leaving the Zhao Mansion and the list of people on the ferry did not match at all.

Moreover, except for Li Qing, there were only two young people from other places who came to Zhaojiabao to do business, and the other people, old and young, had nothing to do with Zhao Yan, so it was impossible for Zhao Yan to smile at them.

"Got in trouble?" Zhou Yuting, who had been staring at Li Yuntian intently from the side, couldn't help but ask tentatively when she saw this.

"There were no qualified passengers on the ferry, so we had to put a lot of effort into finding targets from those who came in and out of Zhao's house." Li Yuntian smiled bitterly at Zhou Yuting, originally he thought that the ferry passengers were a very good breakthrough, but now it seems that this clue is about to be broken, is it that Hu Hao is mistaken, or is Li Qing boasting?

"Could it be that there are still people missing from the ship?" Zhou Yuting frowned when she heard this, and after thinking about it, she looked at Li Yuntian, she trusted Li Yuntian's intuition.

"The one who missed?" Li Yuntian was slightly stunned, and then his eyes lit up, "There is a person who was missed by us!" ”

"Who?" Zhou Yuting asked curiously when she heard this.

"Boatman!" Li Yuntian looked at Zhou Yuting with a smile, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth, "I only thought about the passengers at first, and forgot that there was a boatman on the boat, if I am not mistaken, he is a sturdy young man, and he looks good, and it is very likely that the villagers know Zhao Yan." "One
