"Oh. Officers and soldiers came to the village this afternoon, as if they were going to raze the place to the ground. I heard that someone died in the town." Yun Shuzhi put his arm around He Baoyun, because the officers and soldiers wanted to search the school , he did not give lectures in the afternoon.

Li Wugeng was very surprised. It was the first time he encountered a murder case after living here for more than 20 years. "Have you found the murderer?"

"It's not so easy. I dug three feet and found nothing. It's not peaceful these days, so be careful when you go to the street." Yun Shuzhi instructed, went into the house and put He Baoyun on the bed, and tucked him in the quilt.Although Longxing Town is only a small place, there have been a lot of strange things recently, and there may be many caring people dormant in the dark.

"I know." Li Wugeng replied, recalling what happened last night, and felt that Yun Shuzhi was definitely not an ordinary person, so after thinking about it, he opened his mouth again. "Where is Mr. Yun from? Hejing?" Hejing is the imperial city, and all those who come from the imperial city are called Jingli people.

"It's half of Beijing. My ancestral home is Shaodong, Linzhou. My grandfather was a small official in Hejing, so we transferred there." Yun Shuzhi said.

Can the whole family move to Beijing if grandfather is a petty official in Hejing?I don't even think about lying, the whole family went to Hejing to drink the northwest wind.Hejing is the most prosperous place in the Xuan Dynasty, and those who can be officials there are either rich or noble.Since Yun Shuzhi didn't want to say anything, he didn't press the question any more, he just said: "Linzhou City is one of the poorest places, it's a pity that Mr. Sister has to give in to this."

"It's a pity, but I think it's a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it's not as bad as Beijing."

"Sir, you can take it easy." Li Wugeng smiled brightly, but there was no change in his eyes.Rich people want to live a clean life, so they just need tea and wine; poor people are afraid of poverty, and they don’t want too much gold. This is probably different, and there is no right or wrong.

"Not only are the mountains and rivers good here, but the people are also good here." Li Wugeng began to tease him, "If you really think it's good, you can find one and settle down."

Yun Shuzhi thought about it carefully: "Okay! After all, I have to live here, so I might as well look for it as soon as possible."

"Is there anyone you like? If not, I can introduce a few, don't talk about favors, just give money." Li Wugeng said cheekily.

"Yes, yes..." Yun Shuzhi said leisurely, refusing to say another word.Li Wugeng just wanted to ask, but he heard the noise outside, and the roar of the fourth aunt coming through the air like killing a pig, so he was so scared that he hurried out to see what was going on.

A dozen officers and soldiers surrounded the door of the fourth aunt's house, and Li Wugeng was blocked outside and couldn't get in, so he pulled the people next to him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Others didn't know: "We also came here with the officers and soldiers, it seems that we are hiding something."

While talking about the fourth aunt and her husband Liu Si being escorted out, the fourth aunt cried with tears and snot running down her nose, and she stubbornly dragged the officers and soldiers back and refused to let go.

"Governor, please do me a favor. He really picked it up. He didn't do anything!" Fourth Aunt screamed loudly. Because she had been working in the fields all year round, she had a lot of strength, so she insisted on dragging the detaining officers and soldiers back.Wen Renxi was the leader of the search team, and there was nothing wrong with finding all the stolen goods.Mr. Zhao in the town died at home the night before, but the jade wrench in his hand disappeared. This object naturally became the key to solving the case.The yamen announced the reward, and this afternoon someone posted the notice to claim the reward, saying that they had seen Liu Si from Dongfeng Village wearing this thing, so they rushed to search it, and sure enough, they got both.

Wen Renxi winked, and the other officers and soldiers stepped forward to hold the fourth aunt knowingly.

"I was ordered to investigate the case. If you stop me again, I will have to arrest you together." Wen Renxi yelled angrily, and he hurried back to return to his order, but the woman was very aggressive. Do not let go.

"The official was wronged. It really has nothing to do with us. We just picked it up. It's all because the ghost was obsessed with it. I beg you to let us go." The fourth aunt struggled hard, for fear that they would take Liu Si away.

Wen Renxi was unmoved, and asked them to take him away, and replied: "If you have a grievance, you can go to the court and say that your lord will find out the truth. If you do this again, you will be obstructing official duties, and you can be convicted according to the law!"

The fourth aunt immediately fell silent, not daring to cry out any more, she could only watch them take him away, and became paralyzed in a panic.When Li Wugeng saw him outside, he rushed in to help her up, pinched her hard several times before she opened her eyes.

"Fourth aunt, what's going on?" Li Wugeng asked her while giving her a good look.The fourth aunt was panting heavily, stiffened her neck and kept silent, and it took a long time for her to cry out of remorse.

It turned out that Liu Si dug up the jade ring finger in the field yesterday morning, and he wanted to take it to the pawnshop to see if he could pawn some money, but he didn't expect it to be a disaster.

Li Wugeng and Yun Shuzhi didn't expect this to be the case, and they dared to pawn off the jade ring fingers dug out for no reason in the field!Now, based on the words of the fourth aunt alone, Liu Si can't get rid of the responsibility no matter what.Mr. Zhao's family is a big family in Longxing Town, and they will definitely not let it go.

Li Wugeng, the neighbor for so many years, also knows what kind of person Liu Si is, so he must not be the one who did the murder.He helped his fourth aunt up, and asked Yun Shuzhi to stay here and watch, while he went to the Yamen with money in his pocket.

It was almost dark, but the gate of the government house was still blocked.People from Zhao's house were clamoring for justice outside, and the shouts were so loud that Li Wugeng couldn't squeeze in.Calling for conviction before the trial, what are the people of the Zhao family going to do like this!Li Wugeng was pushed back and forth in the crowd, so he had to withdraw first.He came here just to take care of it, and asked when the trial would start, so they could make preparations.

He retreated to the alley next to the official mansion and waited, when he was patted on the shoulder suddenly, looking back, it was Wen Renxi.

"I heard that people are arresting their heads." Li Wugeng greeted politely.

Wen Renxi nodded and looked at him left and right. "What are you doing hiding in the alley?"

Li Wugeng was taken aback for a moment, how could he hide by standing so boldly!

"There are too many people over there, I can't get in, so I can only wait here first."

"You want to report the crime?" Wen Renxi asked, "Master Li has already gone back, you can come back tomorrow."

Li Wugeng was silent, he had only met him at the fourth aunt's house, and it was impossible for him not to know the intention of coming, so he dragged him into the alley for a while, and saw no one put money into his hand. "Uncle Liu is an honest man. He will definitely not commit murder and commit crimes. I hope the arresting head can take care of him."

"Are you trying to bribe me?" Wen Renxi's face changed suddenly, and Li Wugeng panicked when he yelled.Li Wugeng quickly changed his words: "Don't misunderstand the head arrester, how could it be a bribe, I just invite you to drink tea."

Wen Renxi's face became better now, and he pushed the money back, saying: "Take it, the post-mortem is still underway, and he will be promoted in the day after tomorrow. Liu Si will definitely be convicted this time, so don't waste your time." .”

Li Wugeng repeatedly said yes, but he couldn't help but wonder, he died the night before, why is the autopsy done now?After thinking for a long time, he still asked, "Have you not had an autopsy before?"

Wen Renxi looked at him sharply: "This is not what you should ask!"

Li Wugeng didn't say anything more, seeing his tough attitude, he knew he couldn't ask anything, so he had to go back first.

As soon as he left, someone came out from behind the alley. He was very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, a face like Shunhua, and a smile on his face, like a spring breeze blowing gently.

"Won't you be afraid of being dealt with by Mr. Li when you hear people arresting people and leaking the news?" Xu Jiurong sarcastically said.

Wen Renxi restrained his expression, and instantly became icy. "What does Boss Xu mean by running to the Yamen all day long if he doesn't do business?"

"Naturally..." Xu Jiurong touched his chest with one hand, pretending to be shameless, "I'm here to find your captor."

Wen Renxi opened him with a palm: "Please respect yourself!"

Xu Jiurong hid his face and smiled, and slapped her face shamelessly: "Eat it all and wipe it off, and you still say you are very self-respecting."

Wen Renxi immediately lowered his face and pushed him away with the scabbard.Xu Jiurong didn't care either, and pinched the scabbard, reminding him: "The scholar is not easy, it's better to be careful when catching the head, don't stumble."
