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

The next day, Capt. Liu took two government officials to Xiaoqi's calligraphy and painting shop early in the morning to investigate the situation.

After that, he went to Wang Yugui's shop and sat down again. Wang Yugui poured a cup of tea for Liu Captou and said with a smile: "Liu Captou, you don't suspect that Painter Xiao Qi and his wife beat Jin Da, do you?"

"Haha, that's not true. Neither of them had time to commit the crime. It was just a routine inquiry." Capt. Liu sat down and took a sip of tea.

He sighed again: "Hey, when Haizhi County learned about this yesterday, it was very shocking and ordered me to investigate strictly!"

"Ouch, I don't have any clue about this case, but I'm stumped."

"Could it be someone from Yihonglou who did it?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly.

Capt. Liu took another sip of tea and shook his head: "No!"

"Oh, Capt. Liu, how can you be so sure?" Wang Yugui looked at Capt. Liu and asked

Liu Captou smiled: "Painter Xiao Wang, you should know that Yihong Building is a place where you can do business and make money."

"Jin Da is making trouble. He has to drink flower wine without money. Just beat him out. Why is there any need in Yihonglou to play sap and break Jin Da's legs?"

"If they want to fight, they have to wait until Jin Da goes to cause trouble again. Otherwise, why bother to cause such trouble when they are full and strong?"

"Then Jinda doesn't owe them any debts, and he's not a rich man. Beating him will do no good to Yihonglou at all."

"What would the old madam do if there is no benefit?"

"Ha, Capt. Liu, you are right when you say that." Wang Yugui smiled after hearing this.

Liu Captou also smiled: "Hey, but it's not like I gained nothing at Yihong Tower."

"Miss Xiaocui from Yihonglou confessed that painter Xiao Qi once asked a person named Asan to find her."

"I gave her some money to stop Jin Da from wanting to marry her."

"Haha, I know about this. I came up with this idea for Painter Xiao Qi." Wang Yugui smiled.

Liu Captou looked at Wang Yugui and nodded: "Well, Painter Xiao Qi just explained that it was you who gave him the idea."

Wang Yugui was shocked when he heard this: Oops, why are you dragging me into this again?

"Hey, Capt. Liu, you don't know that Jin Da came to Painter Xiao Qi's shop a few days ago to cause trouble."

"It made people on the street talk a lot, and painter Xiao Qi and his wife were miserable."

"It was said that Jinda forced them to spend one hundred taels of silver to help him marry Miss Xiaocui from Yihonglou."

"I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I came up with this compromise idea, hehe." Wang Yugui hurriedly explained.

Liu Captou smiled: "Haha, Painter Xiao Wang, your idea is a good one, and Ah San is none other than him."

"He is the youngest son of Mr. Zhou who owns a rice store. His family is a neighbor of Mr. Qi's family."

"He and Painter Xiao Qi grew up together. They grew up playing together and they were like brothers."

"Oh, that's it. Painter Xiao Qi only said that he was looking for a friend to help him go to Yihong Building to talk about it. It turned out to be this Zhou Asan." Wang Yugui nodded after hearing this.

Captain Liu nodded and sighed: "Hey, yes, but the clue ends here."

"No other clues related to Jin Da's beating were found!"

"Then, could it be that Jin Daping was disliked by others and offended someone?" Wang Yugui thought for a while and asked Liu Capt.

Liu Captou shook his head: "Painter Xiao Wang, you still don't know much about Jinda."

"That guy from Jin University, don't look at the fierce quarrels he has with his sister, but he is actually a coward outside."

"He is a well-known den in the backstreets. People outside regard him as a fool."

"He doesn't have any enemies outside!"

"Oh, that's it. Then, who could have beaten him?" Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this.

Liu Captou looked at the opposite side and smiled: "It's hard to say now!"

"Everything must be based on evidence. Don't say it casually. If you have wronged someone, you should investigate it slowly before saying anything."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup: "Okay, now that I've finished drinking the tea, it's time for me to go back to the Yamen to do business. Painter Xiao Wang, please take your leave now!"

"Hey, okay, Mr. Liu, you have to work first." Wang Yugui hurriedly stood up to see him off.

When Liu Captou walked to the door of the store, he suddenly turned back to Wang Yugui and said with a smile: "Painter Xiao Wang, Master Ma said that you can ride a horse well now?"

"Haha, the horse master has given me a reward. I have just been able to ride, and I still need to practice more." Wang Yugui laughed.

Liu Captou nodded: "Okay, when you get better at it, let's compete against each other one day, haha."

"Hey, okay, I've heard that Liu Baantou is good at equestrian skills. I can just ask him for advice." Wang Yugui smiled and nodded in agreement.

After seeing off Mr. Liu, Wang Yugui returned upstairs and stood in front of the window, staring blankly at Xiao Qi's calligraphy and painting shop opposite!

Just now, he suddenly had a bad idea: Could it be that Painter Xiao Qi asked someone to beat up Jinda?

Since Jin Da has no other enemies outside, the one who hates Jin Da the most now is probably Painter Xiao Qi.

Painter Xiao Qi is the most motivated to hit people. Pian Jinda's leg was broken when he returned. With his leg broken, he can no longer come out to cause trouble for Painter Xiao Qi...

He didn't even dare to tell Capt. Liu about this idea just now.

"Hey, Capt. Liu is right. Everything must be based on evidence. You can't just say it casually. You will wrongly accuse someone." Wang Yugui sighed to himself.

Suddenly, I was shocked again: Could it be that Capt. Liu also suspected Painter Xiao Qi?

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, the eldest sister ran up and shouted: "Brother, there is a strange fat man in the store looking for you!"

"Oh, strange fat man? Who is it?" Wang Yugui laughed after hearing this

The eldest sister frowned: "I don't know him. As soon as the fat man entered the store, he asked if this was Wang Yugui's painting shop?"

"I said yes, he is my brother. What can I do for you?"

"The fat man asked me again, little sister, did your brother just pass the boy's exam this year? Or was he the last one?"

"I said yes, and then the fat man laughed and said he was your friend."

"Ask me if you are at home? He is looking for your portrait!"

"Oh, really? He didn't say his name?" Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this.

I thought: Friends? I didn’t have many friends in ancient times!

The eldest sister smiled: "I asked, but he didn't tell me. He said you would know who he is when you see him."

"The fat man is dressed like a young man from a wealthy family, and he has two boys with him. The ostentation is quite grand."

"He said that, so I had to come up and call you. Brother, go and have a look."

"At this moment, I'm asking Ah Huang to look at the fat man!"

"Haha, okay, brother, let's take a look." Wang Yugui felt a little funny after hearing this.

I hurriedly got up and went downstairs. As soon as I walked into the store, I looked up and smiled: "Oh, Brother Zhang!"

The visitor was none other than Zhang Siwen and Fatty Zhang.

"Oh, brother Wang, Wang Gui, Wang Yugui, you deceived me so hard for my brother!" Zhang Siwen looked at Wang Yugui and shook his head with a smile.
