I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

"It's unreasonable..." Ji Zihe gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, everyone almost guessed what was written on the paper, and guessed that Feng Yunlin's criminal evidence should be confirmed, otherwise how could the magistrate be so angry.

Everyone looked at the scumbag table on the ground, with mixed emotions.

Chu Yuhua summoned the servant behind him, asked him to make a cup of tea, and brought it to Ji Zihe, "My lord, please calm down, let's have some tea first."

Ji Zihe folded the pieces of paper and put them in his sleeves, "No need, this tea can't suppress my anger, so I don't want to drink it anymore. I want to go to the latrine now, is it convenient?"

Chu Yuhua froze for a moment, then smiled, "Of course it's convenient, I'll take you there right away."

"That's not necessary. People are still being interrogated here. You need Mr. Chu's help to watch over them. You can't leave. You can just point out someone to lead me the way."

Chu Yuhua was a little hesitant, not sure what the magistrate's plan was.

Ji Zihe turned his head and said to Rong Ge, "Catcher Rong, I'll leave this to you. Be sure to interrogate all these servants carefully, and write down every word they say."

"Yes." Catcher Rong quickly saluted Ji Zihe with a sullen face.Although she is a female police officer, her aura will definitely make people feel that she is not easy to mess with.

Chu Yuhua didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said, "Then let the housekeeper guide you."

A middle-aged man came out of the team and saluted Ji Zihe respectfully.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu." Ji Zihe got up and left the dining room with the housekeeper.

Look, why don't you say that he likes employees like Detective Rong.Looking at his work attitude, no matter how he is in private, he will definitely be able to take it out.

The Yang family is not too big, and it is not too small.The Yang family is a businessman whose main business is wine making and selling.Although salt and iron wine is not monopolized by the imperial court, it is indeed the imperial court's key business control.

Everyone knows the importance of these three things, salt, iron and wine, not only because they are profiteering industries, but also because they involve the lifeline of the country.It is impossible for any family not to eat salt and not have a few pieces of ironware.As for wine, most of the wine is made of grain. If the court is short of food, it must not be allowed to make wine.

In order to control these three things, although Da Chu did not do such a thing as a government monopoly, he did not relax.All businessmen who have access to these three things are strictly reviewed. If they do business with these three things without the permission of the imperial court, they will be jailed.

Also, because of this, there are not many people who can make wine, and there is not much competition.Therefore, the Yang family who sold wine became a wealthy family and owned a mansion.

In addition to Yang Yangwang and his concubines in the Yang family, there is also Chu Yuhua, a cousin who can be called the master.Although the population is small, there are twenty or thirty servants.

But at this time, Ji Zihe managed to get most of the servants into the dining room.That day Feng Yunlin came to Yang's house for a long time, and all the servants who could show up had seen him.The rest of the cooks, as well as the maids who waited on Yang Yangwang's concubine's room, would not come out to hang out if they had nothing to do.So at this moment, the huge house is empty, without a single passer-by.

Without passers-by watching, it is easy to do bad things.

Walking to a long corridor, the butler smiled and said, "My lord, it's not far ahead."

"Just wait here, I will need you to take me back later."

"Yes."

Ji Zihe walked towards the hut. The butler looked at his back and suddenly yawned. His eyes couldn't be opened immediately, and he leaned against the pillar and started snoring.

"Hey, why did he fall asleep so fast." Ah Fu looked at the housekeeper curiously.

"Of course I did it." Ji Zihe said.

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I have something to tell you."

Ah Fu looked like I knew everything, and proudly puffed up his chest, "Your Excellency, you can say whatever you want, my eyes are fixed, and I will definitely not be seen by others.

Take you for a lunatic. "

Ji Zihe: ...

Girl, do you know too much?

"No one dares to say that my lord is a lunatic, don't worry. I want to tell you about your business."

Ah Fu was puzzled for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "What about me? Does your lord know how I died? It's amazing. I've been with you all this time, and you've found out. I still have nothing. See it. Tell me quickly, how did I die?"

Ji Zihe remembered the autopsy results of Wu Zuo he had just seen, and couldn't help clenching his fists, "You were strangled to death."

Ah Fu's eyes widened in an instant, revealing despair.She pinched her neck with both hands, her face slowly turned red and purple, her mouth was wide open, and she wanted to cry out for help, but she couldn't make a sound, like a fish out of water, trapped in suffocation.

Ji Zihe knew that she was remembering what happened when she died, she was in a magic barrier, and had to experience death all over again.

"Wake up." Ji Zihe raised his hand and tapped her brow lightly.

Ah Fu's eyes became clearer, and his face turned back. He put down his hands, and there were finger prints caused by blood on his neck.This fingerprint is much bigger than Ah Fu's hand, and it is the same as the fingerprint on Ah Fu's body.

Ah Fu put down her hands lonely, yes, she is a ghost now, how could a ghost be strangled to death?

"My lord, I remembered that I was strangled to death and died in the hut." Ah Fu said.

"Do you know who the person who strangled you is?"

Ah Fu shook his head, "I can't see it, but Ah Fu thinks that person is very familiar, and feels very uncomfortable."

Ji Zihe was a little disappointed, he still didn't know who the murderer was.

"Do you remember which hut it was?"

Ah Fu thought for a while, "It's the hut in the yard where I live."

"Is there anyone else in your yard?"

Ah Fu nodded, "Yes, yes. All the maids serving Master Biao live in that yard."

Ji Zihe lowered his eyes and locked on a candidate.

"I already have someone I suspect, but I'm not sure yet. Is Ah Fu willing to help me?"

Ah Fu nodded, "My lord, please tell me."

"Go and walk the road back then."

Ji Zihe followed Ah Fu to the outside of Chu Yuhua's room, "At that time, I was carrying hangover soup and wanted to give it to the young master, but then I was stopped by Sister Fu, who said that the young master was in the study... Oh, yes, My lord doesn’t know Sister Fu yet. You met her just now, and she was the first one to find out that I was dead. Both she and Sister Rong are the maidservants next to Master Biao. Don’t look at the name of Master Biao. But they all said that Young Master Biao is our serious master, and he will inherit the Yang family's business in the future, so many people just call him Young Master..."

Ji Zihe listened to the little girl walking and talking, until he walked outside Chu Yuhua's study.

Ah Fu just wanted to knock on the door, but stopped again, with a troubled expression on his face, "I remember, I didn't seem to go in right away."

"Why?" Ji Zihe guided her to continue recalling.

Ah Fu looked at the door in distress, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Oh, I remembered, just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard someone talking inside."

"What did you hear?"

"I heard Master Biao calling Dad, and then I heard Master say, tell him not to call. Master Biao said that no one was there, and then Master began to reprimand him. I thought, sooner or later, Master Biao will inherit the family business Yes, so what if you called ahead of time. The young master was drunk, and what he said was drunk, and the master scolded him, it was too much. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I pushed the door and walked in." Ah Fu said, pushing away The door of the study room, and then stood there blankly.

"What did you see?" Ji Zihe stood behind her, looking at the study.

This study is very ordinary, there is nothing strange about it.

"I saw the young master and the master looking at the same time.

me.I realized that my behavior was inappropriate, and I was afraid that the master would blame me, and my legs went limp in fright. "Ah Fu shook his legs, his mood changed drastically, as if he was experiencing the scene of that day again.

"Their expressions were so scary. The master came over suddenly, grabbed my collar, dragged me into the room, and closed the door. I didn't hold the hangover soup. The soup spilled on the floor, and I was thrown to the ground. On the ground. The master took out a dagger and was about to stab me in the heart, but it was the young master Biao who stopped him." Ah Fu seemed to be possessed by a playwright, as if someone really dragged her, and fell to the ground.

"The master said, I heard this little thing, so I can't keep it. The young master Biao said, I will sell it away tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if I spare her life. The master said that the young master Biao is a woman's kindness, and the two of them even had an argument. Woke up, and in the end it was Master Biao who persuaded the master. The master told me to go back, don’t talk nonsense, wait until tomorrow, and let someone lead me away, or I will be beaten to death. I don’t know what I did wrong, why did I sell it? Me?" Ah Fu's eyes were so red that he couldn't shed tears.

Ji Zihe pursed his lips, "Is Chu Yuhua not drunk?"

Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, "When he was in the study, Master Biao really didn't seem to be drunk."

Ji Zihe nodded, "Continue."

Ah Fu brought Ji Zihe to the courtyard where the servants lived again, "I went back to my residence, and I didn't dare to tell anyone about it, so I had to hide in the quilt secretly and cry. I thought to myself, I don't know that I will be betrayed next time." To whom, if I meet a bad master, I might lose my life. I really couldn’t sleep, and I got up at night to go to the latrine, and then I was strangled to death.”

"Still can't figure out who the murderer is?"

Ah Fu nodded, "Maybe it's because of the sky. It's too dark."

Ji Zihe looked at her, sighed, and patted her on the head, "I'll tell you the murderer later."

"Does your lord know who the murderer is?" Ah Fu asked.

Ji Zihe nodded, "It's just that there are still doubts about this case and it cannot be resolved immediately. Telling you now that you can't avenge your revenge will only increase your troubles. I'd better wait until I've confirmed everything and I'll tell you when I'm promoted. The bad guys should be punished.”

Ah Fu nodded, "I listen to the adults."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Ji Zihe was a little embarrassed, but decided to tell her about it, "Actually, when a person dies, the body is not important, it is just like a piece of clothing that has been taken off. When the lights are off, it doesn't matter if the clothes are dirty or not, right?"

Ah Fu looked at Ji Zihe suspiciously, not knowing what he meant, but still nodded.

Although Ah Fu looked like a boy, Ji Zihe was still a little bit hot, and slowly turned red from the base of his neck to his face.

Ji Zihe tried to stay calm, with a straight face, and said seriously, "Ah Fu, you are a good girl, don't mind what other people say. Wu Zuo said, you are still a pure girl, but there are some traces on your body. , was not really given by Feng Yunlin... I know that a woman's reputation is very important. Even if nothing happened, it would still be a hindrance to your reputation. But he couldn't help himself at the time, and he was also a victim. Don't worry, I will try to give you justice...you know what I mean?"

Ji Zihe and Ah Fu stared with big eyes, their voices gradually disappeared into the little girl's ignorant and pure eyes.

Why would a man like him discuss this with a ten-year-old girl? Is this what people should do?
