In the yamen, Lord Qian was bound by five flowers and knelt in the court.

The yamen on both sides were holding sticks, and the county magistrate slapped a gavel to the ears: "Qian Hu, do you know the crime?"

"Hmph." Grandpa Qian tilted his head with disdain in his eyes.

"Contempt for the court! Come on!" The county magistrate had never been so confident before, and shouted.

The yamen on both sides stepped forward and pinched Qianye's neck with a torture stick. The county magistrate put his hands behind his back, walked to Qianye, threw the fish-shaped jade pendant in his hand in front of him, and asked, "Is this yours? "

Qian Ye looked down and sneered: "It's mine, so what?"

"Okay!" The county magistrate snorted, "Then can you plead guilty?"

"What guilt do you admit?" Qian Ye frowned.

"The crime of killing the second girl of the Su family!" The county magistrate pointed with two fingers, his voice raised an octave.

Master Qian yelled: "Yongguan, I know you have been disgusted with Lao Tzu for a long time, but you don't need to pour any dirty water on Lao Tzu, you throw a piece of jade at random, and you say that I killed the person, dare you not? A little more far-fetched!"

As soon as Master Qian finished speaking, Yan Shu walked out from behind the screen of the yamen. The magistrate saw him and hurriedly saluted.

Yan Shu walked in front of Lord Qian, knelt down halfway, and looked at Lord Qian. He picked up the jade that had just been thrown on the ground by the magistrate, held it up in front of Lord Qian, and asked, "This is yours?"

Facing Yan Shu, Qian Ye's attitude softened a little, he nodded, and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Yes."

"It appeared in the alley where the second girl of the Su family died. How do you explain it?" Yan Shu asked.

Lord Qian was stunned for a moment, then said, "What's the matter? I probably dropped it by accident when I passed by before."

Yan Shu added: "But it fell from the second girl of the Su family."

Qian Ye was surprised: "How is that possible!"

Yan Shu said lightly, "Explain."

Qian Ye struggled and shouted: "What to explain! I don't know this, the girl was not killed by me, who saw the jade fell from the girl's hand? Why do you say it was me? And this jade pendant Maybe I dropped it before and was picked up by someone else?"

The county magistrate clicked his tongue and said, "Strong words!"

Yan Shu thought for a moment and said, "Look to see if there are any scratches on his body."

Several yamen came forward, took Qian Ye to the inner hall, and checked it carefully several times.

Surprisingly, there were no scratches on Mr. Qian's body.

Lord Qian knelt down in the court again, choking his neck, with a hint of arrogance in his expression: "Oh! A fainted official, he will do stupid things, wait, wait for Lao Tzu to go out and tear down your shabby yamen!"

The county magistrate was trembling with anger.

Yan Shu pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Where were you on the night that the second girl of the Su family died?"

Master Qian frowned: "I! I..."

He seemed to have thought of something, and his voice suddenly became quieter, he became faltered, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Look, I'm guilty, there must be something wrong!" said the county magistrate, stroking his beard.

Yan Shu waited patiently, but saw that Lord Qian couldn't say why.

When the magistrate saw this, he shouted, "Go to jail!"

"Wait!!" Qian Ye shouted, then gritted his teeth and said, "I said, I'm at Lihua's house."

"Pear flower? Willow pear flower?" The county magistrate asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Qianye closed his eyes and nodded.

Yan Shu asked, "Who?"

The county magistrate replied, "Sir, this is a widow in our town. Her husband has been dead for more than two years."

Yan Shu said, "Call over and ask."

The county magistrate hurriedly ordered to do business and asked the yamen to lead people.

Master Qian suddenly struggled and shouted angrily: "She is a weak woman, don't use the tie, bring it here, dare to hurt her a hair, I will kill you in the future!"

The county magistrate grabbed the moustache and said with joy: "Qian Hu, you can't protect yourself now, and you are still worried about others?"

While the two were fighting with their mouths, Yan Shu got up and walked slowly back to the screen in the lobby.

Behind the screen, Li Changtian was leaning against the wall, with his arms around his arms, one foot slightly bent against the wall, thinking about something, he heard the movement, raised his head, saw Yan Shu, smiled heartily, and then said: "Wait for that Liu, after Liu Lihua arrives, ask her and Qian Hu separately. If it's the right caliber, this should be able to find the flaw."

Yan Shu nodded: "That's what I mean."

About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Lihua was brought to the court. She had obviously never seen such a posture before, and she was very scared as she followed behind the yamen.

After seeing Qian Hu with a rope tied to her body and kneeling on the ground, Liu Lihua was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "Master Qian? What are you..."

"Liu Lihua." The county magistrate interrupted her and waved, "Don't talk too much, come here quickly."

Liu Lihua looked very overwhelmed, walking towards the county magistrate while looking at Qian.

Qian Ye also kept looking at her and watched her walk behind the screen.

Yan Shu and Li Changtian were standing behind the screen and waiting, when they saw Liu Lihua timidly approaching, they couldn't help looking at her.

She is a gentle-looking woman. Even if she doesn't wear Fendai, her face is still beautiful and beautiful. Although her hands are obviously chapped from farming, her posture is decent and generous.

Liu Lihua saw that Yan Shu and Li Changtian had extraordinary qualities, and expected that they were not very human, so she weakly called out, "Sir?"

Li Changtian was also unequivocal, and asked straight to the point: "The night that the second girl of the Su family died, was Qian Hu really with you?"

Liu Lihua first showed a surprised expression, then lowered her head and twisted the veil with her hands, before nodding for a long time.

"Ah..." Li Changtian reacted, covering his lips and coughing lightly.

Yan Shu asked, "What did he do with you?"

Li Changtian looked at Yan Shu in shock.

Holy crap, how did you ask for it?

Liu Lihua murmured for a while, then said, "Master Qian ate at my place first, then helped me fetch water, chop wood, feed the chickens, and then left."

Li Changtian looked at Liu Lihua in shock.

Holy crap, why is it a little different from what I thought.

"Feed the chickens for you? Are you sure you're right?" The county magistrate was even more shocked than Li Changtian.

Liu Lihua nodded.

"How much water is left in the tank before picking up the water? How long have you been chopping wood? What do you use to feed the chickens?" Yan Shu asked one by one, and after Liu Lihua answered, he went out to ask Qian Ye.

To everyone's surprise, Qian Ye and Liu Lihua said exactly the same thing, without the slightest mistake.

Could it be that, as Lord Qian said, his jade pendant was left behind and was picked up by someone?

For a while, things became clueless.

Li Changtian and Yan Shu both bowed their heads and thought.

The county magistrate was still in disbelief, and asked Liu Lihua: "He really helped you carry water to feed the chickens? Just him? Qian Hu?"

Liu Lihua nodded and asked the county magistrate in a low voice: "Master, what did Qianye do?"

The county magistrate said, "I suspect that the second girl of the Su family was killed by him."

"What?" Liu Lihua suddenly shouted, her eyes widened, and she waved her hands again and again, "Impossible, this can't be done by Qian Ye, Qian Ye is very gentle to women!"

"Gentle?" The county magistrate snorted, "Just him? A bully, I have a lot of files of him hitting people and committing crimes!"

Liu Lihua said: "Master, what you said, but three months ago, Qianye beat Zhang Daguanren?"

The county magistrate shook his sleeves and snorted, "This is one of them!"

Liu Lihua said, "Master County Magistrate, I actually have to blame me for this."

"Blame you? What do you say?"

"Zhang Daguan people live next door to me, and they always fight his wife. Once he sent his wife to hide from me to cry, I pity her, so I hid her, and Zhang Daguan people beat her together, hey, Lord Qian knows After that, I took someone to abolish one of Zhang Daguan's hands."

"Hey." The county magistrate scratched his beard and took a deep breath. "There is such a thing! Half a year ago, Qian Hu maimed Xu Da at Xijiekou. What happened?"

"It was Xu Da who didn't support his mother. His mother died of starvation at the door of Qianye. Qianye said that he was angry and beat people because he felt unlucky. I know that he wanted to help old lady Xu to vent his anger."

"That year ago, he called Brother Zhu Zhu in Nanxiang. What happened?"

Liu Lihua covered her lips and smiled: "That's because he was drinking and drinking, got angry and quarreled with Brother Zhu, and punched a few more times. Later, he couldn't hold his face to apologize, didn't he secretly send money to Zhu's family? "

"Hey!" The county magistrate slapped his thigh, "He gives money when he sends money, what is he doing with a black cloth? He even threw it in at night and smashed the tiled roof of Brother Zhu's house! The little brother thought it was a stone and lost the black package! Hey!"

Liu Lihua: "Hey!"

Li Changtian: "Hahahahahaha."

Li Changtian: "Huh? Why are you all looking at me? Isn't it funny?"

Yan Shu raised his head: "Let go."
