Back to ancient times selling biscuits

Zhen Qingming and a group of yamen servants followed Zhao Yipeng to the north of the city. Looking at the five big brick houses in front of them, and thinking of the three small tile houses he lives in now, they couldn't help but click their tongues, "Your family is quite rich."

"It's all earned by my parents, and it has nothing to do with me." Zhao Yipeng said with a gesture of invitation, "My lord, what do you want to see?"

"Let me take a look first." Zhen Qingming didn't say anything, and walked around the yard twice, Zhao Yipeng followed behind him, hesitating to speak.

Zhen Qingming turned his head to look at him, thinking that this officer pays attention to evidence in handling cases, and if you arrest people based on the few words on your pleadings, will I still hang around in Taoyuan County in the future.

"You said that your wife ran away from home three days ago and hasn't returned yet, so you suspect that she has been killed?" Zhen Qingming asked.

Zhao Yipeng: "My lord, I had dinner at noon three days ago. She went out from home to Mrs. Zhao in the east of the city to embroider with Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao said that my wife stayed at her house for an hour and a half before leaving. The neighbors also said, My wife came out from Zhao's house, probably halfway through Shen's time, but my wife never came home."

Zhen Qingming nodded, "Didn't you go to your mother-in-law's house?"

"No, Cao Min went to his mother-in-law's house to ask about it the day before yesterday."

"Then when she left, did she tell you when she'll be back?" Zhen Qingming went around to his bedroom and saw that the carved bed was two meters wide, and his heart moved.Then he asked again, "Why don't you see your parents?"

"My family has a shop on the street, and they don't come back until evening." Zhao Yipeng said this with a bit of discomfort on his face, "My wife was acquainted with Mrs. Zhao before, and every time she went to Mrs. Zhao's house to play, she would hurry up before the sun went down. Come back, the neighbors know too."

"My daughter-in-law is gone and still wants to do business, your parents are so relieved." After Zhen Qingming finished speaking, his face changed, "Why do you insist that Li Feng harvested her?"

"The neighbor said that on the morning when my wife disappeared, I had an argument with Li Fengshou. The specific reason was that no one heard clearly. However, they said that Li Fengshou was very angry at the time. He always looked down on us. Who else could there be except him!" said Zhao Yipeng. It's so accurate, it's like the rhythm of Zhen Qingming nodding, and he arrests people for the yamen servants.

"Sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily true. Donglai Dongbao, take a few people to verify what he said to the surrounding neighbors, check what Li Fengshou was doing in the afternoon three days ago, and then check the Zhao family. The more detailed the situation, the better."

"My lord, you don't need to look it up, it's Li Fengshou!" Seeing him find a bench to sit down on, Zhao Yipeng panicked, "My lord, you can't sit down, you have to arrest Li Fengshou!"

"I'll take off my official uniform for you, okay?" Zhen Qingming wiped off the sweat from his forehead and asked while fanning himself.

Zhao Yipeng was at a loss for words, looked at the people approaching from a distance, and said with a jump, "My lord, my lord, Li Fengshou, Li Fengshou——"

"Shut up!" Master Zhen, who was furious from the heart, missed Sanlang's sour plum soup, and he didn't even taste it. "I still said you were the murderer, do you admit it?"

"I..." Zhao Yipeng thought for a moment, "I'm not, I was in the store that day and came back after dark."

"Then how do you know that Li Fengshou is not busy that day?" Zhen Qingming stared at him and asked blankly, "Who told you that Li Fengshou killed him? Who wrote the certificate?"

"The petition, the petition was written by a letter writer on the street." Zhen Qingming resolved several cases in a row, each case was clear and clear, and he was convinced. In addition, he was usually very low-key and never disturbed the people. He also had a serious look in front of him, and the people of Taoyuan County secretly called him "the old man with a cold face and blue sky".

Zhao Yipeng trembled when he was watched by the cold-faced county magistrate, "Well, this can't be blamed on the grassroots, whoever told him that Li Fengshou would take a detour when he saw my wife, and he didn't know when my wife offended him, but he dared to seduce my father Mother, let me divorce my wife! Hmph, don't look at him looking like a dog, he is sinister."

"Why do I think that the most insidious person is you, who looks like a dog?" Zhen Qingming stared at him and continued, "You have no evidence, and you can conclude that he is the murderer based on your imagination. Lieutenant, you may have harmed an innocent person for the rest of his life!"

"He is not innocent at all." Zhao Yipeng muttered.Zhen Qingming became angry, "Let me hear one more sentence, and I will escort you back to the yamen first!"

As soon as this remark came out, Lord Zhen's ears were cleared, and he sat at the door watching the yamen servants collect evidence from the neighbors, and took them away without saying a word after finishing the incident.

Zhao Yipeng wanted to stop him, but Zhen Qingming gave him a cold look and stopped immediately.

"Master, shall we go back to the county office now?" Dong Lai asked.

"Take someone to check on Mrs. Zhao and Li Fengshou, and then ask Zhao Yipeng's parents about the situation." After Zhen Qingming finished speaking, he asked them to go their own way, and went to Sanlang's house by themselves.

The two of them took a step closer, and San Lang stopped beating around the bush when he cared about him. Seeing him sitting under a tree, meditating, he washed off the flour on his hands and walked up, "What is this?" Paper.

"The testimony of Zhao Yipeng's neighbor." Zhen Qingming said while watching, "It is said that his wife is a beauty, and Zhao Yipeng loves her very much. At one point, the parents of the Zhao family complained to the neighbors that marrying a daughter-in-law is like marrying an ancestor. What do you want her to do? Since Zhao Yipeng is very protective, they even hate Zhao Yipeng."

"So, the murderer is not necessarily Li Fengshou?" Dong Bao blurted out.

Saburo was curious, "What happened to Li Fengshou?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhen Qingming glared at Dongbao, "Li Fengshou is the young owner of the Li family's woodware on the street. He is young, and his woodwork is better than the master craftsman in his shop. Opposite the Li's woodware store is Zhao's. Li Fengshou has been a "children of other people's family" since he was a child, but the two families live close to each other, and they don't see each other all day long. Zhao's father and Zhao's mother like to compare Zhao Yipeng with him, so that Zhao Yipeng is very displeased with him. It's pleasing to the eye. The relationship between the two has deteriorated to such an extent that where there is Li Fengshou, there is no Zhao Yipeng, and where there is Zhao Yipeng, Li Fengshou just ignores him."

"Then you can't accuse someone of killing people." Saburo was speechless, "With Zhao Yipeng's measure, it's no wonder his parents don't want to see him."

"So I saw that he was biting Li Fengshou, so I ignored him." Zhen Qingming said, "Li Ping'er has been missing for three days. According to common sense, she is more likely to be killed, but it cannot be concluded that she was killed. gone."

"Then what should we do now? Eat?" Saburo asked.

Zhen Qingming smiled brightly when he heard this, "From what we have learned so far, the possibility of Li Fengshou being the murderer is very small. The most urgent task is to find out where Zhao Liping'er went after she came out of Mrs. Zhao's house, and whether she has anything. Enemies, do these people who don’t like Li Ping’er have any alibi.” He couldn’t help but shake his head, “It’s really troublesome if you don’t see people alive or dead.” Having said that, he still walked into the room with Saburo In the kitchen, wait for him to finish his meal before coming back from the east.

Another stack of materials, but the weather is hot and people are sweating profusely. In the sweltering summer, Mr. Zhen is very angry, "Sanlang, get a piece of ice."

"Let's go to Xiaowu's room." There is a desk in Xiaowu's room, and the three children are fanning under the tree. Seeing Sanlang nodding, they suddenly ran into the room.

Saburo frowned, "The hot weather is not half over yet, and I use ice every day to relieve the heat. The cold air in the ice is so heavy, can they bear it after a long time?"

"It's okay. Ah Chen used to use ice for a month every summer. After the dog days, my father would ask the imperial doctor to check up on the family members." The room gradually became cold, and Zhen Qingming finally calmed down to analyze the case, "The Zhao family The parents still made no secret of their dislike for their daughter-in-law. They also said that it would be great if Li Pinger just disappeared. After waiting for two years, Zhao Yipeng gave up thinking about it, and they found Zhao Yipeng someone who could manage the house. He was ugly and handsome. It doesn't matter."

"Tsk, it's often said that the couple hates her when she's such a mess. Then why did they agree with Zhao Yipeng to marry Li Ping'er?" Sanlang asked.

"My son likes it, and he is the only son. Even though Zhao's father and Zhao's mother feel that Li Ping'er is weak and beautiful, she doesn't look like a person who lives a good life, she is not willing to see her son's life is not going well." Zhen Qingming flipped through the East to check. The information said, "The Li family is just an ordinary family. The parents of the Li family raised several children by working for them. Li Pinger is a young girl, but she can't keep her fingers from being exposed to the spring water. Let's talk about mine. A few older sisters will occasionally cook a meal for my brother-in-law and nephews, and make some clothes. This Li Pinger, besides embroidery, can't do anything!" The county magistrate chuckled.

"It's normal." After Sanlang finished speaking, more than a dozen pairs of eyes, big and small, looked at him at the same time. Put it on the children. If the children are not good enough, they will count on the grandchildren. But there is another possibility. I hope that the son can marry a lady from a rich family, and the daughter will marry a rich family. It just so happens that Li Pinger is beautiful. With her heart, she will naturally be pampered.

"As you have seen, the Zhao family has a shop on the street and is from the county. The most important thing is that Zhao Yipeng is the only son. Li Pinger's family background is left there. If his parents are eager to pass Marrying a daughter changes the status quo of the family, so it is impossible to marry her into a family of farming and studying.

"Besides, she's not as capable as I am. She can cook and make ice, and she can occasionally protect adults. Naturally, people with the status of adults look down on her. She can marry into the Zhao family. I have to admit that his parents Very shrewd."

"You really know how to praise yourself." Zhen Qingming couldn't laugh or cry, and the three children were also amused by Sanlang's thick skin. After everyone in the room laughed, Zhen Qingming said, "Come here, check the Li family's reaction after Li Ping'er disappeared? "

"At this time?" Dong Lai looked at the sun outside, with a smile still on his face, he wanted to cry.

"Zhao Yipeng did not mention the attitude of his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, nor did the neighbors of the Zhao family. When they grow up pampered, it is impossible for them not to go to Zhao's house to make trouble."

San Lang nodded, "Yes! Because Zhao Yipeng loves Li Ping'er so much, the Zhao family gave Li Ping'er more pocket money than her parents earned in a day. The Li family will never allow Li Ping'er to have an accident, unless, unless What, I don't know." He shrugged.

Dong Lai smiled again when he heard this, "I'll go right away."

Zhen Qingming read in the information that on the afternoon of Li Pinger's disappearance, the three members of Zhao's family were in the shop all the time. The family got rid of him, and after he hid Li Ping'er, he rushed to the shop in the south of the city, it was too late.

"Things are a bit complicated." Zhen Qingming couldn't help but sigh.
