Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"No!" Team leader Yang hurriedly told the whole story of the case.

After listening to his words, Zhang Dun frowned.

My first reaction was that there was something strange about this case.

The deceased was a 19-year-old woman from Xiuzhengfang. The woman was married and had no children.

Two days before Wang Xun was arrested, the woman went to the home of a rich man in Yankang Square after dusk, and did not return home until the gate was opened the next day.

At noon, the woman died.

Wu Zuo checked that the woman died of suicide.

In the afternoon, a young man named Liu Que surrendered himself, saying that he killed the woman in Xiuzhengfang.

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "Take me to the prison."

"County Zhang, please!" Team leader Yang expressed joy, spreading his palms and said.

Zhang Dun looked back at Li Lizhi, and the Hu family's father and daughter, and said, "Don't go to the prison, Chang Zhi, you are waiting for me here."

After that, he went to the prison.

In the cell, it was still the same as before, with wooden cages placed one by one.

There are very few wooden cages that are not imprisoned.

Team leader Yang led Zhang Dun to the last wooden cage.

In the wooden cage, a young man in ragged clothes was lazily lying on the ground covered with hay with his legs crossed.

"That's him!" Team Leader Yang pointed at him and said, "The criminal's name is Liu Que."

Zhang Dun hummed, and looked down at the prisoner.

The prisoner in the wooden cage raised his head when he heard the sound, and continued to lie lazily after just a glance.

Bantou Yang kicked the wooden cage hard, and shouted: "Bastard, my county magistrate asked you, you dare not answer? Are you looking for death?"

Hearing this, Liu Que sat up and said in surprise, "Wan Nian Ling changed?"

Bantou Yang said with a straight face: "Ms. Zhang is the champion of the new department. His Majesty personally conferred the post of Wannian Ling. You should understand what it means!"

It means that the champion of the new subject is valued by the emperor, and his words can be heard by the heavens!

Liu Que was shocked, stood up in a panic, and said with an apologetic smile, "The villain is Liu Que."

Zhang Dun said flatly: "Killed?"

"Yes."

Liu Que laughed and said, "If he didn't kill anyone, the villain wouldn't be imprisoned here."

Zhang Dun looked at his playful smile, and clicked his tongue, "You pay for your life, you know?"

"know."

"Then you are still so calm?"

Liu Que chuckled and didn't want to say more.

Zhang Dun continued: "Who did you kill?"

"A woman."

"what is her name?"

"Shu Die."

"How did you kill it?"

"Strangled."

Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes and said: "But I have tested it, this girl died of suicide."

Hearing this, Liu Que couldn't help but said, "Hahaha, that's Wang Xun's fault."

"He wanted to sell favors to others, and deliberately said that she committed suicide."

Liu Que raised her head and said to herself: "I committed suicide myself, how can I not know?"

Zhang Dun frowned, Liu Que's attitude made him feel strange.

If you kill someone, you will pay with your life.

When death is imminent, can he still laugh?

Zhang Dun looked at Bantou Yang and said, "What's your job? Go find it."

"No!" Team leader Yang hurriedly responded.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a hood followed Bantou Yang into the prison.

"I've seen County Magistrate Zhang." The middle-aged Wu Zuo bowed his hands to Zhang Dun respectfully.

Zhang Dun pointed to Liu Que who was locked in a wooden cage, and asked, "The prisoner said just now that Shu Die, a woman from Xiuzhengfang, died at his hands, but I heard from Bantou Yang that you had examined the deceased. Said the deceased died of suicide."

"The criminal is now saying, Wang Xun told you to deliberately say that this girl died of suicide, is it true?"

"Yes." The middle-aged Wu Zuo lowered his head and said with shame on his face: "At the beginning, the magistrate Wang asked the villain to do this, and the villain dared not refuse."

Zhang Dun waved his hand to let him go, looked at Liu Que and asked, "You said just now that Wang Xun wanted to sell a favor, to whom?"

Liu Que shook her head, and said seriously, "Magistrate Zhang, you can check it yourself."

Zhang Dun groaned, then looked at Team Leader Yang, pointed at the prisoner and said, "Take him out and beat him up."

"Ah?" Team leader Yang looked at him in a daze, so he just tortured him?I am proficient in this business!

Inside the wooden cage, Liu Que's expression changed slightly. When he saw Bantou Yang open the wooden cage, he panicked and shouted, "Magistrate Zhang, let me tell you, Wang Xun wants to sell that rich man a favor!"

Wouldn't it be enough to say that earlier?You have to be beaten before you are willing to speak.

Zhang Dun continued to ask, "What's the name of that rich man?"

Liu Que hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Zhang Shenji."

"It's him?" Team Leader Yang was taken aback.

Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes, Zhang Shenji, he had heard of it too.

According to historical records, this person is the adopted son of Zhang Liang among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Zhang Dun gave Bantou Yang a look, and after locking the wooden cage, he left the prison.

In the hall of the county government office, Li Lizhi and the Hu family's father and daughter were shocked after hearing the details of the case that Zhang Dun said.

"Who is Zhang Shen? It's him?"

Hu Guang clicked his tongue and said, "He is the adopted son of Duke Changping."

Li Lizhi said angrily: "No matter who he is, when he dies, there must be an explanation!"

"There is a theory." Zhang Dun pointed to the direction of the prison, and said, "The prisoner is being locked up in the prison."

"Lang Jun! I think this matter is not so simple."

Li Lizhi shook her head like a rattle, and said: "A woman went to Zhang Shenji's mansion that day, and was killed when she returned home the next day."

"Maybe it's Zhang Shen who did it!"

"My parents are smart!" Zhang Dun gave her a thumbs up appreciatively, then looked at Hu Quhe, and asked, "Qu He, what do you think?"

Hu Quhe knew that this was testing her, so he thought for a while and said, "The slave family thinks that the young lady is right. The man who committed Liu Que probably has a lot to do with Zhang Shenji."

Zhang Dun clicked his tongue and said, "So you also think Zhang Shen sent Liu Que to kill him?"

"But what about the evidence?"

Chapter 147 The murderer is related to Changping County Lord

Zhang Dun glanced at Li Lizhi and Hu Quhe, spread his palms and said, "There must be evidence to prove that they have a strong relationship, otherwise empty words will not prove his crime."

Li Lizhi shrugged her nose and snorted softly: "My family feels that they are related, but there is no proof."

Zhang Dun smiled and said: "Intuition can't be used as evidence, but you can look for evidence through intuition, first follow this clue to check."

Hu Quhe suddenly said: "Sir, do you think that Liu Que has nothing to do with Zhang Shen?"

"more or less."

Zhang Dun pondered for a while, pointed to his forehead and said, "If you want to ask the reason, I also have an intuition."

The deceased went to Zhang Shenji's mansion and stayed for one night. It is self-evident what happened there.

After returning home, he was killed.

Who did it?

Who is that Zhang Shen?

Coveted that woman's beauty, used tricks to get her to come to the house, and then the next day, he had enough fun and sent someone to kill her?

It doesn't make sense!

Although this is a feudal society, there are still laws. As long as the other party is a girl from a good family, if she kills someone, it will be a big deal!

Why do you need to kill something that can be settled with money?

So unlikely!

Zhang Shenji had no reason to kill her.

Zhang Dun turned his head to look at Team Leader Yang, and asked, "Do you know where the deceased lived?"

Bantou Yang nodded and said, "I know that Magistrate Zhang is going to her house? I will take you there!"

Zhang Dun hummed, and then confronted Hu Guang and Li Li: "Chang Zhi, and Brother Hu, I have to deal with this matter first, you go back first."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Hu Quhe again, and said, "Follow me and help me."

"I listen to Mr.!" Hu Quhe nodded heavily.

"The slave's family has gone back." Li Lizhi was a little bit reluctant, but she also knew that it was about a murder case. In the next period of time, Zhang Dun would be busy.

After sending Hu Guang and Li Lizhi away, Zhang Dun took Hu Quhe and followed Bantou Yang to a house in Xiuzhengfang.

The house is a bit dilapidated, and it looks like the residence of ordinary people.

"Open the door!" The door was closed tightly, and Bantou Yang stepped forward and patted on the door, loudly.

Soon, a man in his 30s with red eyes, obviously crying, opened the door.

Zhang Dun looked at him, saw that his left arm was wrapped with a bandage, and asked, "Who are you, Shu Die?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, and he said with a hint of resentment in his tone: "Shu Die is dead, and you are still not willing to let it go? What exactly do you want? Do you have to make me pay for my life?"

Leader Yang scolded with a stern face: "Who made you lose your life, see who the person in front of you is, he is the new Wannian Ling, Zhang Dunzhang County Magistrate!"

"Wannian Ling?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt sad, and fell to his knees in front of Zhang Dun with a plop, crying bitterly:

"Villain Chen Sanxu, Shu Die's husband, county magistrate Zhang, you must decide for the villain!"

Zhang Dun hurriedly helped him up and asked, "I am here this time to ask you, so as to find out the truth."

Chen Sanxu wiped away his tears, and said in a choked voice: "Whatever County Magistrate Zhang wants to ask, the villain will definitely say everything he knows!"

Zhang Dun looked at him and asked, "What's unusual about your wife after she came back that day?"

Chen Sanxu said with red eyes: "When my wife came back, she kept crying and told me everything."

"She said that Zhang Shenji lied that the villain had gone to Zhang's mansion and was drunk like mud, and asked her to bring the villain back. Who would have thought that after going there, he would be..."

Chen Sanxu wiped the tears from his face, and continued: "The villain just wanted to take my wife to report to the officials. When I go out and take care of everything, when I come back, I will see that my wife has been killed!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Sanxu cried bitterly.

Zhang Dun listened to him with a calm face, patted his shoulder, and said: "Understood, you wait for news from the official at home, and the official will uphold justice for you."

Immediately, he took Bantou Yang back to the county government office.

As soon as he walked outside the county government office, Zhang Dun saw two middle-aged figures in dark blue official robes standing next to the Mingyuan Drum.

The two also saw Zhang Dun, hurried over with big strides, cupped their hands and said:

"Dong Feichi, the county magistrate of Wannian County, has met the magistrate Zhang."
