?Who would dare to disobey the words issued by the magistrate?

These people are just scholars, not Juren, let alone Jinshi, and fame does not mean that they are officials. Now the county magistrates don’t eat and do business. How dare you eat?Have the guts to eat it?

As for whether the magistrate had lunch in advance, or whether he would have a heavy breakfast, it is no longer what they want to think about-but the fact is that Yuan Run and Ruan Yuzhu were on the way here, in the sedan chair Stuffed bellies with pastries.

So from noon to the end of Shenshi, a bunch of people originally only ate two meals (ancient people generally ate two meals a day, unlike Ruan Yuzhu and Yuan Run, who are used to three meals), and did not eat after noon. All the talented scholars were so hungry that their chests stuck to their stomachs, and they greeted the eighteen generations of Luo Yushang's ancestors in their hearts—Yuan Run didn't care anyway, Luo Yushang's ancestors actually had nothing to do with her.

I asked again, and as expected, I didn't ask anything—this Mo Chengchen is also, he is almost a transparent person among his classmates, and no one pays attention to him at all. Ruan Yuzhu and Yuan Run also had nowhere to start.

However, nowhere to start is nowhere to start, but this is like an old saying on the earth, if there are difficulties, you must overcome them, and if you don’t have difficulties, you can also create difficulties!There is nowhere to start now, so we must create opportunities to do so!

Just when all the scholars saw that it was getting late, they had asked them all, and thought they could finally be pardoned and went to eat, but there was a message from the other side, saying that the county magistrate remembered some things and didn't ask them, so he wanted to ask again. again.

Everyone was in tears - the magistrate did it on purpose, right?

As a result, the second time, after the first person went in and out, the students knew that they were asking the same topics as before, and there were no new questions at all.How could this damn think of a new question and didn't ask it, it was clearly a posture of not being allowed to eat without asking a new answer!

What's even more hateful is that when this dear friend entered, it was obvious that the magistrate's mouth had some scum...

This……

Can you say shameless out loud?

Therefore, if there are still people who are wise enough to protect themselves, refuse to speak wholeheartedly, and are unwilling to offend people the first time, then everyone will open their mouths the second time, and I am afraid that the county magistrate will ask the third time.

So this time the goal was clear, everyone tried their best, recalled all the topics about Mo Chengchen, and finally let Yuan Run and Ruan Yuzhu confirm that Mo Chengchen only mentioned Mr. Zhu to Li De and Chai Gui The matter of Tibetan money, because everyone's source of information about this matter is these two people-of course, Li De claimed that Mo Chengchen told him, and Chai Gui said that Li De told them.

The point is that Li De also told many people, and he can't remember whether Chai Gui told it himself or Mo Chengchen.

Well, the final goal was to focus on Chai Gui and Li De as he wished, and the three strange-looking people Ruan Yuzhu saw that day, except for Li De, one of them was Chai Gui, and the other was named Lu Sheng, after careful questioning, knew that it had nothing to do with this case. He just happened to pass by to watch the excitement at that time. There should be other reasons for his facial expression, so there is no need to worry about it.

The key now lies in Chai Gui and Li De, one of them must be the real culprit, and according to Yuan Ruan's judgment, Chai Gui is more likely, so of these two, Li De is the last one. Of the two interrogations, Chai Gui was the last interrogator. During the interrogation period, he was monitored by the servants who followed him, and no one was allowed to talk without authorization, otherwise he would be punished as a false confession.

This made everyone scoff at it—it’s been more than a year, and the confession has been settled long ago, so they all affirmed that my lord is the standard three fires for new officials. The museum is here.This made Dr. Tong and the two lecturers also furious, but there was nothing they could do—they made it clear that they were playing hooligans and stealing food, so what can you do?The family is the county magistrate, one parent, the emperor's land, it is better to manage it now!

It's a pity that Li De's interrogation didn't yield anything, not even as good as Chai Gui.

Chai Gui is an older man, in his 30s, with a simple and honest look, and he answered his questions very well, which was very rewarding.

"Chai Gui, how is your relationship with Mo Chengchen?" Yuan Run asked.

Chai Gui met the county magistrate, and said, "It's not bad. But I have a good relationship with everyone I know. I have no enemies, and I like to help people, so my popularity is pretty good."

People before this point also said the same - I asked other people before, their relationship with Li De was good or bad, but they were basically good with Chai Gui.

So Yuan Run nodded, and asked again: "You invited Mo Chengchen to drink that night?"

Chai Gui said: "Yes, it was me, because I saw that he had been depressed for the past few days, and felt sorry for him, so I dragged him to drink and relax. Anyway, it was Wang She's treat, borrowing flowers to present Buddha. He refused to go, and I lied to him that there was I had to tell him something important, but it turned out that he really had something on his mind and got very drunk—but who knew, his plan was to seek money and kill him! I didn’t mean to get him drunk, it was him I drank it myself."

He didn't shy away from his generosity to others. In fact, if he really wanted to insist that it was not his Lamo Chengchen who went there, Yuan Run and the others had no choice, because there was no other witness.

Others may have seen the conversation between Chai Gui and Mo Chengchen that day, but they are unlikely to hear the content of the two of them. The two of them were surprised—could they have made a mistake in their judgment, and he wasn't the real murderer?

"Then you and Li De were the ones who brought Mo Chengchen back to Zhu's family that night? Did you ask to see him off?" Yuan Run asked again.

Chai Guidao: "Mo Chengchen was invited by me to drink, he has the responsibility to send him home."

Yuan Run thought for a while, and then asked: "After that, you and Li De went home separately?"

After hearing this, Chai Gui thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, I went back to Mr. Zhu's place later—I was worried that Mo Chengchen would be late for the Literature Museum the next day because he was drunk, so I simply went to tell him Zhu Laosi, I will ask for leave for him, if he wakes up late, don't worry."

Yuan Run and Ruan Yuzhu looked at each other after hearing this - this guy, even said such a thing, he is so frank even when the person involved is dead, is it true that he is not suspected, is he thinking wrong?

"Why didn't you tell the Yamen about this before?" Ruan Yuzhu couldn't help but interrupted and asked.

Chai Gui said: "This has nothing to do with Mo Chengchen's murder, right? I see him more, is it related to the murder? Besides, no one asked me."

Yuan Run asked again: "Then when you went back, did you see Mo Chengchen? Was he really drunk on the bed?"

Chai Gui shook his head and said, "It was just to say something at the door, I didn't even go in before, it was Uncle Zhu and Li De who helped Mo Chengchen in."

"Why don't you go in?"

"Everyone knows that he hid the money in that place. If I go in, I can't tell what happened!"

Ruan Yuzhu smiled: "You are a cunning one, so you have never been to Zhu Laosi's yard before?"

Chai Gui thought for a while, and said: "That's not true. When I invited Mo Chengchen to the banquet the day before, I accompanied him back to the room - I saw that he was really depressed at that time, so I comforted him all the way. , and ended up forgetting about avoiding suspicion, and sent him back to his room before leaving."

"Did he and Zhu Laosi behave differently at that time?"

Chai Gui smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle Zhu is naturally everything is normal, but Mo Chengchen has been very nervous these days, maybe he has been planning this for a long time, I am very worried about him."

"Are you very nice to him and have a good relationship with him?"

"As I said, my relationship with everyone is very good."

Yuan and Ruan looked at Chai Gui's expression, they were completely calm and calm, and they didn't appear to be guilty at all. After questioning everyone just now, they also knew that Chai Gui was indeed very popular, and he didn't lie.

The two had no choice but to let Chai Gui go.

Is Chai Gui really open-minded, or is he acting on purpose?

However, in any case, Yuan and Ruan are still trapped in the absence of evidence.In desperation, Yuan Run had to let it go for the time being.

After that, he didn't go back home, but ordered a takeaway meal from the literature museum, and had supper with Dr. Tong and two lecturers.

Dr. Tong and the two lecturers actually had meals. Ruan and Yuan didn't think that the three of them would have any serious suspicions, so they didn't prohibit the three of them from eating. This fasting interrogation method is only for these scholars. That's all.

After the trial was over, Dr. Tong and the two lecturers were actually very angry, but they were magistrates, so they had to invite each other to dinner.Originally, it meant something, but I didn't expect that the two of them would really stay behind.

Helpless, the three had to accompany each other.

After drinking for three rounds, Yuan Run suddenly asked, "I heard that Mo Chengchen's daughter, Mo Lan, lives in the Literature Museum?"

Dr. Tong sighed: "She is only 13 years old this year. Her mother and grandmother are dead, and her uncle's family has no one. For some light work, such as serving tea and water, sweeping the floor and cleaning the table, we each contribute a little money to her, which is enough for her to live."

"Then why didn't you see her during the day?" Yuan Run asked.

Dr. Tong said in surprise, "Your Excellency wants to see her? I don't know if she's still there. I'll let someone take a look."

Yuan Run frowned and said, "What's going on?"
