After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

When he arrived at the county government office, Wang Yugui told Haizhi County all his suspicions about Yang Baozhu and the important clues provided by Gu Youquan.

"Oh, Painter Xiao Wang, no wonder you always ask me about Boss Yang's situation."

"I was at Cai's house just now. I heard from Aunt Cai that the night Jin Xiao'e died, Boss Yang also fell ill in the rain. I also began to have doubts about Yang Baozhu," Liu Captou said hurriedly after hearing this.

After that, he hurriedly reported to Haizhi County that the old lady of the Cai family hit a ghost last night.

Finally, Capt. Liu emphasized: "Sir, the old lady of the Cai family has mentioned that the headless ghost is similar in size to Boss Yang next door, but is stronger than him."

"My subordinates suspect that the big headless ghost is probably Yang Baozhu, but I don't know why he stayed up in the middle of the night and pretended to be a ghost to scare people!"

"Boss Yang Baozhu and Yang, this county also noticed this person when looking through the files!" Haizhi County frowned after listening to their reports.

Captain Liu hurriedly asked: "Oh, it turns out that adults have discovered these problems of his long ago!"

"That's not the case. The county just thinks that his file records are too clean. The cleanness seems to be deliberate."

"That's why this county is suspicious of him! He is the only one in the whole street who behaves coldly and ignores Jin Xiao'e. This in itself makes people feel suspicious," Haizhi County Road

Wang Yugui hurriedly said: "Sir, yes, but now we are all just suspicious and have no actual evidence at hand!"

"Even if it can be confirmed that the weirdo who went to Yihong Tower is Yang Baozhu, he will have a very reasonable explanation."

"Prostitution is not illegal, and it doesn't seem to be related to the murder of Jin Xiao'e. We can't do anything to Yang Baozhu!"

"Oh, it's true. Even if the big headless ghost can be confirmed to be Yang Baozhu, it seems that nothing can be done to him. It can be said that he is a misunderstanding. What should we do?" Liu Captou was also worried.

Haizhixian walked back and forth for a few steps, thinking..., then suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Captain Liu, go to Yihong Building quickly and bring Miss Liu here."

"Remember: dress casually, bring it back quietly, don't let outsiders know!"

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away." Liu Captou said and hurriedly left.

Wang Yugui hurriedly asked: "Sir, is there a way to deal with it?"

Haizhi County smiled slightly: "Painter Xiao Wang, don't be impatient! Let's wait until the county interrogates Miss Xiaoliu before making any further arguments."

When Wang Yugui heard this, he was right. We couldn't just listen to Gu Youquan's words about this kind of thing. We must ask the person involved.

"Painter Xiao Wang, sit down and drink tea." Haizhi County saw Wang Yugui's confused face, smiled again, and invited him to drink tea.

Wang Yugui sat down and just took a sip of tea when he suddenly said: "Sir, I forgot to mention it just now. I suspect that Yang Baozhu climbed to the roof with a ladder and then entered the Wu Family."

"I was in the Yang family's yard just now, and I saw a long ladder placed by the yard wall!"

"Very good, Mr. Wang, you are observing very carefully." Haizhixian nodded.

Suddenly, Capt. Zhang came in dusty: "Sir, my subordinate was ordered to go to Xiao Zhang Village to investigate."

"There is indeed a ruined temple in Xiaozhang Village that Wuhan University said. The Bodhisattva statue in the temple has been damaged, which is similar to what Wuhan University said."

"However, so far, no one has reported the loss of two hundred taels of silver."

"My subordinates quietly made inquiries in the village. The villagers have not heard that anyone has lost any money!"

"Now we are not sure whether the money was lost by people from Xiaozhang Village. My subordinates suspect that the money may be unclean. Therefore, even if it was taken by Wuhan University, no one dared to report it to the official."

Zhang Captou paused and then said: "Beicun, I have also gone to investigate. The situation is similar to what Wuhan University said."

"It's just that the part where he rescued Jin Xiao'e on the way to sell sesame cakes is only known to them, so there's no way to verify it!"

"Very good, Zhang Captou, you have worked hard, please step back and rest for now." Haizhi County nodded.

When Zhang Captou resigned, Haizhi County smiled and asked Wang Yugui: "Painter Xiao Wang, where do you think the two hundred taels of silver came from?"

"Sir, I think what Zhang Captou said makes sense. The money must have come from something wrong."

"I suspect that some thief might have stolen it, and for some reason, it was temporarily stored in the ruined temple."

"I didn't expect that the little file from Wuhan University happened to be touched by me when I was hiding from the rain," Wang Yugui said.

Haizhixian nodded: "Hey, it's another public case!"

……

Soon, Capt. Liu brought Miss Xiao Liu.

The last time this girl Xiaoliu helped the Yamen, Haizhi County rewarded her with a few taels of silver, so this time she came to the hall without panic.

Haizhi County asked: "Who is kneeling in the hall? Tell me your name!"

"My daughter is Miss Xiaoliu from Yihonglou. Sir, didn't you tell me to come here?" Miss Xiaoliu looked up at Haizhi County

Liu Captou shouted from the side: "Don't be so presumptuous, just answer whatever the adults ask you!"

After hearing this, Miss Xiao Liu quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Haizhi County.

Haizhi County asked again: "Miss Xiaoliu, this county heard that you received a strange guest?"

"Ah? Sir, how did you know about this? Why does the Yamen also have to take care of our reception of guests at Yihong Building?" Miss Xiao Liu was surprised.

Capt. Liu couldn't help but glare at her and shouted: "Don't talk too much. Just answer whatever Haizhi County asks you!"

"Oh, to tell you the truth, I received a strange guest, but we have rules in Yihong Building."

"You can't talk about the guest's situation outside!" Miss Xiaoliu said hurriedly

Haizhi County said loudly: "This is the inner hall of the county government, not outside. Whatever the county asks you, you must answer truthfully."

"If you conceal anything, you will be severely punished!"

In order to maintain confidentiality, Haizhi County did not arrange any yamen officials for this court hearing.

Only the arrester and the clerk were in the hall, and even Wang Yugui was hiding behind to listen.

"Yes, I know, little girl." Miss Xiao Liu was very sensible and nodded hurriedly.

Haizhi County continued to ask: "Tell this county about the strange guest."

"Yes, sir, that strange guest..." Miss Xiaoliu explained the weird costumes and quirks of the strange guest one by one.

Wang Yugui heard what Gu Youquan said, and it seemed that what Gu Youquan said was true.

Finally, Miss Xiaoliu took the initiative and whispered: "Sir, actually, I already know who that weirdo is!"

"Oh, who is it?" Haizhixian asked hurriedly

Miss Xiaoliu proudly recounted how she discovered the true face of the weirdo.

After hearing this, Haizhixian smiled slightly and nodded: "Very good, Miss Xiaoliu is indeed a smart person!"

"So, when it rained a few days ago, did Boss Yang go to Yihong Building?"

Miss Xiaoliu was very happy when Haizhi County praised her for being smart, and said hurriedly: "No, it rained heavily a few days ago, and he didn't even come!"

"Not to mention the past few days, he hasn't been here even these days, and I don't know what he is busy with at home!"

“Maybe I’m busy braised geese and selling geese at home.”

Wang Yugui listened and nodded secretly: This means that on the night of Jin Xiao'e's death, Yang Baozhu did not go to Yihong Building, but he was caught in the rain. So where did he go?

He didn't pretend to be a ghost last night just to go to Yihong Building, so why did he go there dressed like that?
