Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 90 Suspect Hu Qian
Young Master Tian was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Before he could speak, shopkeeper Zhou said loudly: "He is Tian Buyi, the son of Fuyuan Prefecture Zhizhou Master, not only capable of both civil and military skills, but also extraordinary in martial arts."

Hu Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tian, ​​for your generosity."

Immediately, he shouted to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, let's have a good wine and food on the table first."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and shouted to Tian Buyi: "Mr. Tian, ​​do you want to eat together?"

Tian Buyi smiled and said: "Young Master Hu, eat as much as you want, after Qiu Wei, I will defeat you in front of everyone."

Hu Qian laughed, went upstairs without answering.

Entering the room, Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi all burst into laughter.

"Respectfully, you still have a way, not only to cure the unrighteousness of that field, but also to live in this shop for 20 days in vain."

"I think that Tian Wuyi might be about to explode."

When the food and drink were served, the three of them drank and chatted freely, while talking about the exam.

After walking for a few days, they didn't have a good rest. After talking for a while, they felt tired, so Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi went to the next door to rest with the support of their servants.

Hu Jiu brought hot water for Hu Qian, tidied up the bedding and bedding, and then went to sleep outside.

Hu Qian didn't know how long he had slept, when he suddenly heard a "cracking" sound from downstairs.

He didn't take it seriously at first, but after a while, someone shouted: "It's bad! Killed someone! Come on!"

The entire Yumanlou was awakened immediately.

Everyone went downstairs to look, and saw three people lying on the ground, one of them was Tian Buyi, the other was shopkeeper Zhou, and there was a woman, I don't know who it was.

"Master Tian was killed!"

"Treasurer Zhou is also dead!"

"Who is this woman?"

"I've seen it before, she seems to be the wife of Shopkeeper Zhou!"

"What exactly is going on?"

Because it was a murder case, one of them was the son of Zhizhou, which soon alarmed the government, and even Xing Ziming, the magistrate, rushed over in a panic.

After asking about the situation, Xing Ziming asked the yamen servant to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter.

Among them, when Wu Zuo was about to check the corpse of shopkeeper Zhou, who would have thought that he got up leisurely, causing everyone to back away in fright.

Shopkeeper Zhou regained his composure, saw the corpse on the ground, and suddenly threw himself on the female corpse, crying loudly: "My lady! My lady..."

Xing Ziming was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Take him back and put him in prison!"

He also asked Wu Zuo to identify the corpse, and asked the yamen servant to place six benches around the corpse to surround the scene. He ordered the yamen servant to watch from the sidelines and strictly ordered no one to approach.

After tossing and tossing for a while, the students were allowed to go back to sleep and wait for the interrogation in the morning.

When Hu Qian and the others were walking upstairs, they saw a group of people pointing at him.

"You don't even need to ask! He must have done it!"

"When I first came here, I fought with Mr. Tian! Who else could it be!"

"I didn't expect this person to be so ruthless! It's really difficult to be a son-in-law!"

Guo Yu whispered to Hu Qian: "Respect, they..."

Hu Qian smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm very sleepy now."

At dawn, Xing Ziming brought people here again, and first questioned everyone one by one, and when he asked Hu Qian, he suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect Hu Jinggong to be here."

Hu Qian cupped his hands and said, "The student has met the magistrate."

"I just questioned a few people, and their testimony is extremely unfavorable to you!"

Before Hu Qian could speak, someone outside suddenly said, "If it's really him, it will be hard to find out."

Dressed in white, it turned out to be Bai Yufeng.

Seeing Hu Qian, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that what I said is right, Mr. Hu really looks troublesome."

Then he bowed to Xing Ziming again, "Uncle."

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly Bai Yufeng was Xing Ziming's nephew.

Xing Ziming said: "What? Do you know each other?"

Bai Yufeng said, "I met once."

Xing Ziming nodded, looked at Hu Qian and said, "Jinggong, although I know that you should not be the murderer, but here is the testimony, I still have to let you go to the government office."

Guo Yu and Du Jian knew: "Yesterday's incident was clearly caused by Na Tian's injustice and provocation first, so I respect him and did nothing at all.

He also went to bed early at night, how could he be a murderer! "

"I didn't say he was the murderer, I just asked questions."

After saying that, he waved his hands, and immediately two yamen servants came to Hu Qian and made a gesture of invitation.

Hu Qian said to Guo Yu and the two: "Don't worry, I will go back as soon as I go."

In the lobby of the government office, Xing Ziming and Tuiguan Fu Ershan sat in the hall respectively, Bai Yufeng stood beside Xing Ziming's head, shopkeeper Zhou knelt at the bottom of the hall, and Hu Qian stood aside.

Xing Ziming patted the gavel, and shouted: "Who is in the hall, tell us your name!"

Hu Qian cupped his hands and said, "Student Jinling Hu Qian."

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "Caomin is on Thursday and Tuesday."

"Measure on Thursday, what is your relationship with the deceased!"

"My lord, that's Mrs. Huang, and the other one is Mr. Tian Buyi, who is also... Mr. Bai's friend."

"These two died beside you! Did you kill them!"

"No! How could a villain kill his wife! It's even more impossible to kill Mr. Tian, ​​he is the son of Mr. Zhizhou..."

"Then who do you think is the murderer!"

On Thursday, he tilted his head and looked at Hu Qian, "Yesterday, Mr. Hu had an argument with Mr. Tian shortly after entering the store. Later Mr. Tian said he would beat him. Maybe he became angry and killed Mr. Tian."

Xing Ziming looked at Hu Qian, "Hu Qian! Do you have something to say!"

Hu Qian said: "The so-called clean is self-clear, and it's useless for students to talk too much, so I'd like to ask adults to show evidence."

Xing Ziming laughed and said, "You have always helped the Jinling Prefecture Government investigate cases, so you are very familiar with this. If you did it, confess as soon as possible, and the judge can consider a lighter sentence."

Hu Qian said: "My lord, why don't you pass on the work to ask about the cause of death first."

Xing Ziming snorted, and was about to speak, when Bai Yufeng said, "My lord didn't pass it on because he already saw it.

Tian Buyi's skin turned blue and his seven orifices were bleeding, obviously he died of poisoning.

Huang's eyeballs fell off, and her body was stained purple. Even poison would never cause her eyeballs to fall off.

However, there was still medicine residue in the corner of her mouth.

Presumably he was beaten to death first, and then injected with poison. "

Hu Qian couldn't help admiring secretly, although this Bai Yufeng was arrogant, he really had real talents and practical learning.

"Yummanlou drinks are all provided by the inn. According to the student's testimony, Tian Buyi did not drink with Hu Qian, so it is unlikely that he poisoned it. As for the Huang family, it is even more impossible.

Hu Qian had just moved into the store, and had never met Huang, and had no grievances, so how could he be beaten and poisoned? "

Xing Ziming nodded, slapped the gavel suddenly, and shouted: "Thursday and Tuesday, don't bring things up!"

"My lord, the villain doesn't know anything!"

"Dare to slander others without knowing anything! Come on! Give me twenty sticks first!"

The yamen guards on both sides pressed him to the ground without any explanation, and beat him to pieces with twenty sticks.

"Sir, stop hitting, I said..."

On Thursday, he wailed a few times and said: "The villain has been living in the store because he runs Yumanlou, and his wife lives in the backyard, so he can't usually go there.

Earlier last night, the store was short of some small change, so the villain went back to the backyard to get it. When he walked to the window, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman having sex with a man.

The villain broke into the door angrily, and saw that the lady was arranging her clothes with a pale face, and the back window of the room had been opened.

So the villain hurried to catch up, but the man was so fast that the villain didn't catch up, so he turned back and saw a man's cloth shoes by the window.

The villain was furious at that time, so he slapped the lady several times, and asked her who the adulterer was, but she refused to tell, so the villain scolded her a few times, and said that he would settle the score with her tomorrow!
Afterwards, the villain returned to the inn, saw Mr. Tian was there, said a few words to him, drank some wine, then fell asleep on the cabinet, and when he woke up, the adult was already there. "
