I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

He didn't expect such a thing to happen when his term of office was approaching and his achievements were ready, just waiting to be finalized and then promoted.

"What you said is true?" Yang Zuan's voice was a little weak.

The man surnamed He nodded.

During this period of time, he was sent out to solve the case in Chang'an City. He thought it was just an ordinary murder case. He went to investigate the situation and arrest the murderer—if the murderer escaped, he would return to the Chang'an County Government to issue a warrant.

But after the past, I found that it was very complicated.

Two families died, a total of eight people, one family named Chen and one family named Wang.

Three people died in the Chen family, an old mother, a man, and a child. Five people died in the Wang family, a pair of old people, a pair of children, and a woman.

The reason was that the Chen family caught fire in the middle of the night, and the fire spread to the Wang family, causing both families to be buried in the thick fire.

It's fine if they're all dead.

However, both of these two families still have one living person left.

What is left of the Chen family is a woman, and what is left of the Wang family is a man.They were not adulterers and adulterers, they were all reported by men from the Wang family. He believed that it was the Chen family who harmed his family.

If it had been before, the man surnamed He might have been sloppy and regarded the matter as an accidental fire case, and sent two families to collect the body.

But after hearing Yin Xuan's words, the man surnamed He became serious, and smelled a murder case in this matter.

He investigated for several days, but had no clue.

So I had no choice but to come back and ask my county magistrate for advice.

For Yang Zhuan.

The most important question is whether to investigate this case, whether to treat it as an accidental fire case or a homicide case.

A promotion is imminent, and there are merits in hand, so it should be best not to have any more twists and turns.

But, after all, it was a murder case in which eight people died.

Human life is as big as the sky.

Yang Zuan gritted his teeth and sighed: "Check!"

"Must check!"

He has never been a kind person, like before, he was very ruthless to the shopkeeper of Happy Lin, but in that matter, he didn't feel that he did anything wrong.

What kind of a good person is he who goes into the prison again after a few days and almost treats the prison as his own thing?
But he deeply takes human life very seriously, which is why he didn't arrest Yuan Shi when he first received a report and failed to investigate the case of the temptress Yuan Shi.

Eight lives, especially when the man surnamed He, another of his capable generals, had guesses, he couldn't ignore them.

Since it is necessary to check, how to check has become a problem.

Yang Zuan frowned, thought for a while, raised his hand and knocked on the table: "I remember, when you were investigating the case of Happy Lin, you got help from the store owner of Tongfu Restaurant?"

The man surnamed He nodded.

This is not the first time he has heard the name of this person, Zhou Xiaosan, his right-hand man, often hears the name of this person, and the words are extremely reverent.

"That store owner is a smart man." Yang Zuan shook his head and sighed, "I don't have a clue, maybe...you can ask him for advice."

Yup!

Shopkeeper!

The man surnamed He suddenly realized, bowed to Yang Zuan, and left in a hurry.

Yang Zuan sat alone, shook his head and smiled wryly, what was it all about? Although he had never met the owner of Tongfu Restaurant, his kindness to him was as great as a mountain.

Don't say anything else.

He had heard people say that if he failed to solve the case of the temptress Yuan Shi, His Majesty would even want to chop off his head. From this point alone, that shopkeeper was his savior.

The dignified county magistrate ultimately depends on a white robe.

Yang Zui sighed heavily.

By the time the man surnamed He arrived at Tongfu Restaurant, it was already afternoon, and there were quite a few customers in the restaurant. As soon as he entered, the aroma of the food that hit his face made him feel like he was finally home.

The high-speed rail came up: "Guest, what do you want to eat?"

The man surnamed He waved his hand: "Someone is here to find the shopkeeper."

Yin Xuan, who heard the movement, raised his head, looked at the man surnamed He, and couldn't help but smiled: "Yo, He Bao is here, but I haven't seen you for a while."

He still has a deep impression on the top few customers who patronize his restaurant.

The man surnamed He cupped his hands: "Shopkeeper, long time no see."

"What do you want from me?" Yin Xuan asked with a smile.

The man surnamed He was very anxious along the way, but when he saw Yin Xuan's handsome face for the first time, he immediately relaxed and shook his head: "Please trouble the store to bring me a piece of gold inlaid jade and a piece of gold." I'll talk to the shopkeeper slowly about the golden shredded meat."

Yin Xuan nodded.

After a while, he came out with dishes.

The man surnamed He ate several mouthfuls one after another, and his barren mouth was moistened. The delicious taste swept away the haze he had experienced during this period. A case, but that matter is very strange, I am a little puzzled, so I want to ask the shopkeeper for advice."

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Did he regard himself as "Di Renjie"?

"I'm not very good at solving cases, but tell me, I'll see if I can give you some suggestions." Seeing that he ordered two dishes, Yin Xuan asked him to continue talking.

While eating the vegetables, the man surnamed He told in detail what he had seen and heard in Ling'an.

Yin Xuan raised his hand and rubbed his chin, thoughtfully: "Why do you think this is a murder case?"

The man surnamed He shook his head and sighed: "Then Chen is not sad at all, and there is no worry on his face, and he is even a little happy in hemp and mourning."

This is not at all common sense.

It's not that you have to be sad, not being sad is a violation of etiquette.But although the status of women in Datang is not low, they are still dependent on men.

Parents, children, husbands are all dead, and that is a helpless person.

No matter how much I have no feelings for my parents, children, and husband, I feel that they will die when they die, and I will be freed from being oppressed by them.

But the issue of livelihood must always be considered. Can a woman support herself?
It might be possible in Chang'an City, but in a rural area, there is absolutely no such possibility. This is why after her husband died, Wang came to Chang'an City with all her belongings and her children.

Those who want to bully the widow don't say it.

Even plowing and planting are things that make people complain, and what is lacking is not a labor force.

After all, men are the backbone of the family.

Speaking of this, the man surnamed He paused and lowered his voice: "And I have heard rumors that this woman seems to be suspected of having an affair with someone."

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharpened.

Several little girls next to him also came over.

Fornication is a crime, and it's not a petty crime.
