Assassin peach does not change

Tao Buhuan helped Jiang Yousi, who was limping, to the official post. The official post is a number of rest stops set up by the imperial court in various state capitals for the use of official errands.

There are soldiers in charge inside, and the soldiers are not under the jurisdiction of the local government, but under the unified dispatch of the imperial court. It is a relatively safe place.

In the past, when Tao Buhuan was the daughter of the Great General of Zhenbei, she used to inspect the official post in Youzhou with her father. She looked down on the soldiers in the official post because these people were completely incapable of fighting.

But at this moment, someone is better than no one guarding.

The soldiers in the official post were respectful after seeing the official card of Jiang Youpan's Dali Temple. Taobuhuan had already tied a rope with the water transport and the fake Xu Sanniang who had conspired to kidnap Jiang Youpan. Tao Buchang is very skilled.

So he gave up struggling and followed Tao Buhuan and Jiang Yousi to the official post honestly.

Jiang Youpan asked the post officer to arrange two quiet rooms as the interrogation room. After entering one of the rooms, Tao Buhuan moved a chair and wiped it clean with his sleeves before letting Jiang Youpan sit down, and then held it up. The back leader of Water Transport brutally carried him out of the room and prepared to send him to another interrogation room.

But he stopped suddenly at the door, and Tao Buhuan stared at Jiang Youpan's ankle and ordered: "Your ankle may have hurt your tendons and is already swollen. I'll go and throw this person next door, and then give you Find something to relieve the pain."

Tao Buhuan was about to leave when he looked back to see two thin and weak soldiers and a timid post officer in the house, he was still worried.

Turning around and going back, I changed the rope of the fake Xu Sanniang to tie it tightly, making the fake Xu Sanniang scream in pain.

Jiang Yousi looked at the way she tied the knot, and knew that it was the dead knot of Maigulou that he used on himself not long ago, which became tighter and more painful the more he struggled.

Tao Buhuan felt relieved after tying it up himself. He patted the dust off his hands and went out to find medicine. He took the post officer and two soldiers with him, and asked the soldiers to watch outside the door in case of emergency.

Seeing that Tao Buhuan had arranged things in an orderly manner, Jiang Yousi was slightly moved by her father General Tao Huanbei's marching style, and then leaned back in his chair and began to interrogate the fake Xu Sanniang who stayed in the room.

"Report your name..."

The fake Xu Sanniang kept silent, she seemed to have a tough temper.

Jiang Yousi introduced himself: "I am Jiang Yousi, Tui Cheng of Dali Temple. We just met in Xu's Mansion. If you said you are Xu Sanniang, then I will assume you are Xu Sanniang for the time being."

The fake Xu Sanniang lowered her head and looked at the ground quietly.

At this time, the room next door suddenly became noisy, and I heard Tao Buhuan shouting from the next door: "Although I am just a little girl, I saw many tricks for interrogating prisoners with our adults in Dali Temple. If you cooperate, you can eat less." It’s a bit of a pain, if you refuse to cooperate, I promise you will regret it.”

I couldn't hear the water transporter's voice clearly, but a male voice was whispering something.

Seeing that the fake Xu Sanniang was still silent, Jiang Youpan tried to persuade him: "Since you still refuse to speak, I will tell you what I found out, and someone will write a confession for me later. A signature and a pledge on it will be considered a confession."

The fake Xu Sanniang said at this time: "Since you are from Dali Temple, you should interrogate us publicly according to the court's law. You can't set up a private court like this to force people to confess!"

Jiang Youpan leaned on the chair, very contemptuously: "I am Fadu. Since you refuse to admit it to death, let me tell you my version of the story."

The fake Xu Sanniang turned to Jiang Youpan sideways, expressing her dissatisfaction and resentment.

"Although you are familiar with the method of refining salt, you can only buy salt with the help of Yanyin. Without Yanyin, no matter how much salt you have, you can't sell it.

However, Yanyin is in the hands of the local salt affairs official. The former salt official Zhishi of Yuezhou retired, and the new salt official Zhang Nian just took office. You are afraid that the good business will fail, so you want to repeat the old trick and bribe Zhang Nian... "

The fake Xu Sanniang's complexion gradually turned red, and the veins on her forehead were slightly raised.

"The salary of the salt affairs secretary is generous, and the treatment is very high. Ordinary money may not be able to make Zhang Nian fall in love... But you have caught Zhang Nian's characteristic-fear of internal lust, and want to use your beauty to get close to him..."

Jiang Yousi's face remained unchanged, and he glanced at his injured ankle, "Maybe something went wrong, maybe Zhang Nian was not fooled, maybe you didn't share the spoils equally.

In short, Zhang Nian was killed by you, and then you took the opportunity to pretend to be a blood baby to kill..."

The fake Xu Sanniang spat: "It is Zhang Nian who coerced us to sell illegal salt, and asked us Sanniang to go... to accompany him... It is not a pity for such a person to die!"

Jiang Youpan frowned: "So you admit it?"

The fake Xu Sanniang raised her head and was about to answer, but saw the door being pushed open, Tao Buhuan stood at the door and signaled Jiang Youpan to go over, Jiang Youpan glanced this way, and finally walked over.

At the door, the two whispered and discussed for a while, and when they came back, Tao Buhuan also came in together.

There was one more person behind them, and the fake Xu Sanniang saw this person's complexion turn from red to blue, making it even uglier.

Tao Buhuan held a palm-sized clay pot in his hand, and when he opened the lid, he smelled a strong smell of ointment.Lifting up Jiang Youpan's trouser legs and taking off his shoes and socks, his ankles were indeed swollen.

Tao Buhuan dug out the pitch-black ointment with a wooden spoon and applied it on Jiang Yousang, saying: "Xu Sanniang, Song Caoyun next door has confessed just now, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, you accidentally killed Zhang Nian, you can plead guilty ?

But it doesn't matter if you don't plead guilty, because now there are all witnesses and material evidence, you can't deny it. "

Jiang Youpan gasped with a "hiss" and closed his teeth tightly.

Tao Buhuan looked up at her, worried: "Does it hurt? Bear with it, it will be fine soon, I'll be gentler."

Jiang Yousi reminded: "I'm still interrogating..."

"You judge yours, I'm busy with mine." Tao Buhuan stubbornly continued to apply the medicine, "It doesn't look like it's hurt on the outside, but it's actually hurt on the inside. If you don't want to be a cripple, just listen to me."

Jiang Yousi had no choice but to continue to let it go.Facing the fake Xu Sanniang, he said: "If you still refuse to admit that you are the mastermind, let Xiao Zhu, the foreman next to you, identify and question him face to face."

It turned out that the one who had just followed in was Zhuo Xiao Zhu who had returned to his hometown. He was short and thin, with some stubble on his chin, and he looked haggard. He was dressed in coarse cloth, and when he saw Jiang Youpan, he fell to his knees.

"My lord, it is this woman who bribed me to try to take away the two corpses."

"Look carefully again, have you admitted the wrong person?"

Xiao Zhu carefully identified it again, and said firmly: "It is true that I did not admit my mistake."

"Do you have evidence?" Jiang Youpan felt that the pain on his ankle had dissipated a little, replaced by a cold plaster.

Tao Buhuan was bandaging her, fixing the medicine on her ankle to heal the injury.

Xiao Zhu took out a cloth handkerchief from his bosom, slowly unfolded it, and then showed the things that were originally wrapped in the cloth handkerchief to everyone.

"This is fine salt. Only the Xu family can make fine salt. I specially wanted it for my wedding, so they gave me some."

At this moment, Tao Buhuan interjected and said coldly: "Xu Sanniang, you and Song Caoyun next door both have the opportunity to voluntarily confess at this moment, whoever tells the truth first will have the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds and be exonerated.

Selling private salt and murdering court officials are major crimes against the three clans. You may feel that your death is not a pity.

But your family and tribe will be implicated because of you.Do you still want to cover up for others? "

After a long time, the fake Xu Sanniang opened her mouth to answer: "Actually, I am not Xu Sanniang, the real Xu Sanniang is still in the mansion, and I am her maid named Xiaohua..."

"Xiao Hua, why are you pretending to be Xu Sanniang?" Jiang Yousi asked.

Xiaohua kowtowed to the ground: "It was Sanniang who asked me to pretend to be her. Sanniang has been in poor health for the past few years and often stays at home, so I will meet guests instead of her..."

"Did you do it or Xu Sanniang did it during the killing of Zhang?"

"I didn't kill Zhang Niannian, and I don't know what killed him..."

Xiaohua raised her head, stared at Jiang Youpan and said anxiously, "Didn't you say that the blood baby killed people? Why do you want to investigate us?"

Jiang Youpan turned his head and asked Zuo Xiaozhu, "Where are the two corpses they asked you to take away?"

Wu Zuo Xiaozhu tremblingly said: "Throw it into the sea, without a trace."

"Destroying corpses and eradicating traces, the destruction is very thorough." Tao Buhuan taunted.

Both bodies were gone, and it seemed impossible to continue the investigation from the bodies.

Although Xiaohua admitted to colluding with Zhang Nian and Song Caoyun to sell illicit salt, the matter is still unknown, and the real culprit and the method of committing the crime are still unknown.

How will Jiang Youbi solve the case?

Jiang Yousi asked Tao Buhuan: "Does what they said match Song Caoyun's confession?"

Tao Buhuan faltered and replied: "Yes...it's right."

Jiang Youbo stared at her for a while, but when Tao Buhuan thought she would curse, Jiang Youbo called in the soldiers guarding the door and asked them to take these people away and temporarily imprison them in the official post.

Only Tao Buhuan and Jiang Yousi were left in the room.

Jiang Yousi said in a deep voice: "Song Caoyun didn't make a confession at all, the confession just said is your nonsense."

Tao Buhuan is extraordinarily innocent: "How can we successfully defraud Xiaohua's confession otherwise? How should we continue to investigate?"

Jiang Youpan stood up and limped towards the door. Seeing that she was about to be accidentally tripped and thrown into the street, Tao Buhuan quickly supported her, "Be careful..."

Jiang Yousi glanced at her, and said, "To untie the bell, one needs to tie it. I always have a feeling that these things will be answered when I meet Xu Sanniang herself."
