The Taoist Priest is Catching Ghosts [Liao Zhai]

In the past few days, Xie Han has not been idle except practicing calligraphy. He also rescued a little yellow-haired fox from a hunter.

Although Xie Han knows that there are many stories of foxes repaying favors in Liaozhai, Xie Han will not think that the little fox he saved is a fox demon. After all, the world is so big, it is impossible for him to meet a fox demon so easily.

Xie Han met this fox when he was wandering in the street. At that time, it was locked in a cage by a hunter. Its legs were injured and its eyes were dark. When Xie Han saw it, he thought, ah, this fox is so cute. I really want to take it home and raise it.Then he spent a tael of silver to take the fox away.

Later, when E Zichuan came to Xie Han's place, he saw this fox and said that this fox was not worth the price, at most two renminbi.

The fox heard this, and bit a big hole in E Zichuan's clothes with his injured leg.

Xie Han picked up the fox and turned around, ignoring E Zichuan.

Later, because Xie Han didn't know how to cook, the fox's food was contracted by E Zichuan, so the fox treated E Zichuan better.

On this day, E Zichuan brought food and knocked on the door of Xie Han's house, first put the fox's food by the fox's den, and then placed the food brought to Xie Han on the table.

"Thank you." Xie Han nodded to E Zichuan.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Excuse me, is E Zichuan from the E family in South Hutong here?"

After Xie Han and E Zichuan looked at each other, E Zichuan stepped forward and opened the gate of the yard, and saw a few policemen knocking on the door.

"I don't know how many..."

"Are you E Zichuan?"

E Zichuan was interrupted before he finished speaking, but E Zichuan answered them in a good voice: "I am E Zichuan."

"That's you. Someone said that you killed someone, so come with us now." The leading arrester waved his hand, and the rest of the arresters stepped forward and took E Zichuan away.

Xie Han hugged the fox and walked to the door, looked at the backs of the group of people going away, and murmured: "E Zichuan will kill people?"Immediately, Xie Han denied the possibility that E Zichuan would kill someone.

Xie Han turned around and went back to the room, put the fox in the fox den, stroked the fur of the fox and said, "You stay at home obediently, I'll go and see what's going on."

After finishing speaking, Xie Han left the house with Zhou Liuxingwei and walked towards the Yamen.

In the courtroom, E Zichuan stared at the beautiful woman who identified herself as the murderer in bewilderment.

Yan Zhi cursed: "You prodigal son, you killed my father if you failed to steal incense and jade."

Yanzhi couldn't stop crying, regretting and heartbroken, regretting that Gong Wangshi was helping her, and feeling sad that she didn't know people clearly.

E Sheng wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, Yan Zhi stared at him fiercely.

Seeing E Zichuan cowering, the county magistrate felt that he was the murderer, so he decided to torture E Zichuan.

"Come here, beat him fifty times, and see if he recruits." The county magistrate threw the token and ordered the yamen servants to execute the sentence.

"Stop." Xie Han walked out from the crowd.

The county magistrate wanted to scold people and obstruct the officials from handling the case, but when he looked up, he couldn't say anything.

The man was dressed in white, his hair was like white snow, and his whole body was as cold as the snowstorm in Huashan. Just standing there could silence people.

In the end, the magistrate turned around his curse words and asked, "Who are you?"

Xie Han stroked Zhou Liuxing on his hand and said: "I am a visitor to the E family, and now I have a few questions about this case, please let me raise them."

"You mention it, you mention it." It has to be said that a good-looking person has an advantage.

"May I ask how Father Bian died, and what was the fatal injury?" Xie Han asked. This question is very important. People can judge what weapon the murderer used and the murderer's height, age and other information based on the fatal injury. .

Wu Zuo, who was standing aside, said, "Father Bian died of a fractured skull."

Xie Han smiled when he heard it, as if the ice and snow had just melted, and then Xie Han said slowly: "As we all know, the human skull is the hardest, even a butcher would have to use all his strength to cut it. Esheng is a handless chicken." How can a weak scholar with the power to chop off a human skull."

The county magistrate nodded after listening, and stroked his beard. This is indeed the truth, so the county magistrate asked, "Who is the murderer?"

Xie Han glanced at Yan Zhi who was at a loss and said, "Then I have to ask Miss Bian."

Rouge looked a little flustered, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Xie Han asked: "How can you be sure that the murderer is E Zichuan?"

"I...I...I saw E Zichuan's face last night." Rouge said firmly.

"Did you see it? When did you see it? What clothes did E Sheng wear at that time? Did you light a candle or an oil lamp?" Xie Han asked word by word.

Rouge couldn't help taking a few steps back, she couldn't answer any of these questions.

In the end, she said with a sigh of relief: "Yesterday E Sheng came to look for me and entered my house, saying that he wanted to have sex with me, but I refused to do so..."

"Do you believe him when he says he is E Sheng?" Xie Han asked with a sneer.

"I..." Yan Zhi was speechless, why didn't she know that the person was not E Sheng yesterday, she just wanted to settle the matter quickly and not involve others, so she identified E Zichuan.

At this moment, E Zichuan finally came to his senses, and he said angrily, "My father passed away a month ago, and now that I am filial, how dare I do these things that will ruin my future!"

After all, E Zichuan gave Yanzhi a disgusted look. This woman clearly knew that she was not a murderer, but she wanted to identify herself. If her benefactor hadn't come to help her, she might only have the word "death".

Seeing E Zichuan looking at her like this, Yanzhi couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and fell to her knees.

Xie Han sighed and said, "Miss Bian, let's tell the truth."

The county magistrate in the court also patted the gavel and said, "Master Wuna Bian, don't hesitate to tell the truth."

Rouge wiped her tears and explained the matter in detail.

He said that he had made an agreement with Gong Wangshi and asked Gong Wangshi to bring a message to E Sheng to make an appointment to meet last night, but he didn't expect that it was not E Sheng who came last night, but someone else, which caused his father's death.

After finishing speaking, Rouge broke down in tears.

Xie Han is not in the mood to pity her, after all, a woman who falsely accuses others just to avoid involving others is not worthy of his sympathy.

"Come here, go and bring Gong Wang." The county magistrate ordered the yamen servant.

Soon, Mrs. Gong was brought to the court, and Mrs. Gong was a little panicked. She never expected that she would be involved in the murder case.

"Gong Wang, hurry up and confess, Bian has already told the whole truth, and you hurry up and tell the murderer." The county magistrate said, slapping the gavel.

Gong Wang's complexion was ugly, how could she know who the murderer was.

Xie Han stood by and looked at it, then shook his head. It was strange that Mrs. Gong Wang could answer the county magistrate's question, so he stepped forward and asked, "Your general Bian likes E Sheng and asked E Sheng to meet last night?" Who did you tell about it?"

After hearing this, Gong Wang shook her head again and again, crying, "My lord, it's this bitch who wants a man, so it's none of my business, besides, I didn't tell anyone else about it."

"You didn't say it, so why did that person call himself E Sheng instead of Li Sheng and Wang Sheng when he went to see Yan Zhi?" Xie Han asked pressingly.

"I..." Gong Wangshi was speechless.

"Gong Wang, don't hesitate to recruit! Otherwise, I will execute the sentence!"

Sure enough, the county magistrate's words were very intimidating, and Gong Wang's recruited him almost immediately.

Gong Wang said: "When I was young, I had a lover named Su Jie. When he came to my house a few days ago, I told him all these things."

The county magistrate also asked someone to bring Su Jie.

The county magistrate sat in the courtroom and asked, "Did you go to Bian's house last night?"

Su Jie shook his head, denying that he had been to Bian's house.

The county magistrate immediately slapped the gavel and said angrily: "You still dare to lie to me, Gong Wang has already confessed everything, do you think you were the one who killed Father Bian!"

Su Jie was stubborn and refused to admit that he had been to Bian's house.

"Okay, you still dare to speak hard! Come and punish!" the county magistrate angrily said.

As soon as the punishment was used, Su Jie's expression changed, and he recruited all of them.

"I went to Bian's house, went into Rouzhi's room, asked her for an embroidered shoe, and left. Later, when I returned to Wang's house, I accidentally lost the embroidered shoe."

"Oh? Then you are the one who murdered." The magistrate asserted.

After hearing this, Xie Han wanted to help his forehead. What kind of reasoning is this, but Xie Han couldn't bear the undeserved punishment for innocent people, so he said: "Wait a minute."

When the county magistrate heard this, he said, "Is there any doubt about the Taoist priest?"

"Exactly." So Xie Han asked, "When did you return to Wang's house?"

"It was time to go back." Su Jie quickly replied.

"Haven't you come out since you went back?" Xie Han continued to ask.

"That's it. If you don't believe me, Gong Wang can still testify." Su Jie seemed to see the hope of life.

Gong Wang who was on the side nodded quickly when he heard Su Jie's words.

Then Xie Han asked Yan Zhi: "When was your father killed?"

"It's a moment." Rouge said with tears.

After hearing this, Xie Han turned around and said to the county magistrate, "From the point of view of time, Su Jie is not the murderer."

"Then who is the murderer?" The magistrate felt that his brain was not enough.

Xie Han sighed inwardly, he had given up hope for the county magistrate's IQ, and he said bluntly, "It should be the one who picked up the embroidered shoes."

"How can we find that person?" The magistrate looked at Xie Han expectantly while stroking his beard.

Xie Han felt a little headache, how did he know!

At this time, a little yellow-haired fox emerged from the crowd with an embroidered shoe in its mouth.

Yan Zhi took a closer look and was horrified: "That's my embroidered shoe."

Did she bury the embroidered shoes she picked up in the corner after her father died?
