Yun Shuzhi signaled him not to be surprised. The children in the school who were reciting their books all hid behind the door and peeked at him. Li Wugeng was so stared at him that he pretended not to see him, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

One of the children came out boldly, from the next village.He pulled the corner of Yun Shuzhi's clothes and looked at Li Wugeng with interest.Seeing that Yun Shuzhi didn't speak, the others rushed out in a swarm.Surrounded by them, Li Wugeng was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Several people in the village who knew him all shouted, "Uncle Li."

The others followed suit and shouted, "Uncle Li!"

"Hey!" Li Wugeng straightened his back, a little nervous, "Why, why don't you study..."

Yun Shu laughed out loud with a sneer, and said to them, "You all go back to endorse the papers first, and I'll come over and check later." After that, he took Li Wugeng to the backyard.

The backyard is not big, and a few pear trees are sparsely planted. The pear blossoms are in full bloom, and there is a white ground under the trees.

The two sat down on the stone bench under the tree, and Yun Shuzhi poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Li Wugeng.

"You are a commoner, do you want to investigate the case?" Yun Shuzhi asked, flicking the tea noodles with the lid of the cup with his bony hands, picked it up and took a sip.

Li Wugeng was obviously stunned, staring at the two tea leaves floating in the cup for a long time without saying a word, even if he wanted to, it was useless even if he wanted to go.

"How sincere are you in being Mrs. Zhao?" Yun Shuzhi said again, analyzing with him one by one, "She gave you the creed and revealed to you that it was people from Zhao's mansion who killed Master Zhao, but she didn't tell you directly. No matter who it is, I will not go to the government to identify the murderer, and I clearly want you to help her."

"How can I help her if I can't even save anyone?" Li Wugeng was puzzled.

"No. Public opinion is often more important than evidence. As long as you spread the news, you can more or less suppress the government." Yun Shuzhi shook his head, dipped his fair fingers in some tea, and ordered it on the stone table three points. "The people in Zhao's mansion should be divided into three factions, one positive, one negative and the other neutral. Master Zhao died, and he reported the case that night, but the autopsy was only yesterday. It stands to reason that the Yamen attaches great importance to this matter, and the cause of death can be examined that night. Come out, why not test?"

Li Wugeng also thought about this problem a long time ago, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"It's hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a local snake. The Zhao family is the most powerful clan in Longxing Town. No matter how hard the government is, it's not easy to confront it head-on. If the Zhao family refuses to hand over the body on the grounds that it is important to preserve the dead body, then Li Huailin's idiot will I can't say anything. At the beginning, I refused to hand over, blocked the news, and later cooperated with the government to make the matter worse. From this point of view, the Zhao family has internal strife. This fight is fierce, but I don't know that the snipe and the clam are fighting each other. Li..." Yun Shuzhi added water to one point to make it bigger.

"Ms. Zhao is that fisherman?" Li Wugeng asked, but when I saw Mrs. Zhao today, she didn't look like this kind of person, but rather... the most innocent one.

Yun Shuzhi flicked the teacup with a crisp sound, waiting for him to continue.

"But she doesn't look like this kind of person, maybe..." Li Wu didn't believe it.

Yun Shuzhi interrupted him: "It's hard to know the heart when you know the face."

Li Wugeng replied: "These are just your conjectures." Human life is a matter of fate, and one carelessness will lead to a big mistake, and he dare not just let go of the opportunity to save people.

"But it's not unreasonable." Yun Shuzhi said.

Li Wugeng was stunned by him, and his mind was in a mess. "You mean that there are two factions fighting in the Zhao family, and the two factions are evenly matched, so Mrs. Zhao wants to use me to break the balance?"

Yun Shuzhi nodded.

"Why me?" Li Wugeng was puzzled.

"You have been neighbors with Liu Si for many years, I'm afraid no one will do your best than you." Yun Shuzhi said, "Anyway, don't interfere, Liu Si will be fine." Liu Si is just used by the government to block Zhao's family Besides, there are people in the Zhao family who don't want him to die, so once he dies, the whole situation will be settled.

Yun Shuzhi refilled his tea again: "Do everything according to your ability."

To put it simply, even if what he said made sense, Li Wugeng would not be able to sit idly by.Yun Shuzhi still had to give lectures, and he couldn't stay too long, so he had to go back first.

The trial of tomorrow's case starts, and everyone is like ants on a hot pot.The fourth aunt found Li Wugeng before walking home.

"Wu Geng, come here and say..." Fourth Aunt cautiously waved to him.

When Li Wugeng passed by, she immediately dragged him into the house.

The fourth aunt rubbed her hands, she didn't seem to know how to speak, she was in a dilemma for a while before asking: "Is there any news from the government?"

"Not for the time being, we will only find out when I am promoted tomorrow." Li Wugeng vaguely felt that something was wrong with her, and seemed to want to say something.

"I..." The fourth aunt was very embarrassed, she gritted her teeth and continued, "I have something to tell you!"

Li Wugeng just listened to see what she had to say.The fourth aunt was so anxious that her palms were sweating, and she said incoherently: "That jade finger is not ours...nor, how should I put it...we didn't dig it out from the field!"

He looked up at Li Wugeng's face again, and saw that he didn't respond, so he confessed: "My aunt told you that your uncle bought it from Ah Wen for half a tael of silver. I will go to Ah Wen today. I wanted him to come out to testify, but he was not at home, and when I asked other people, they said they didn’t know where he went. I’m also in a hurry, why do you think Ah Wen is so harmful!”

Li Wugeng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Yesterday he felt that something was wrong, but now he suddenly realized it.Ah Wen is a local ruffian here, idle around all day long, and the fourth aunt and the others would deal with him, and they didn't think about how he would sell it if it was really a good thing!

"Fourth aunt, don't worry, I'll go to the yamen tomorrow." Li Wugeng comforted her.

But the fourth aunt was obviously anxious, trembling with fear, worried that Liu Si would not be able to get out.Li Wugeng didn't dare to tell her anything else, he only said good things.

By the time the fourth aunt was settled down, He Baoyun had already left school.Seeing that Li Wugeng's face was not looking well, he tugged at the corner of Yun Shuzhi's clothes.Yun Shuzhi patted his hand and told him to go back to the room first.

"The soul of thinking is gone?" Yun Shuzhi patted Li Wugeng on the shoulder, and Li Wugeng came back to his senses immediately.

Li Wugeng murmured, not knowing where to start, and said after a long silence: "The jade ring finger was not picked up by the fourth aunt."

Yun Shuzhi was not surprised at all, as if he knew it long ago.

"Don't think too much about it. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. I'll go to the Yamen with you tomorrow."

Right now is the critical time, the more impatient the more chaotic, just being anxious can't turn things around.
