Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 84 Tracks of the Head

There was a lot of voices outside the yamen, and the common people were talking and pointing at the people in the court.

There was also silence in the courtroom. Everyone in the county government was silent and looked at Liu Sheng who was sitting on the top. He was the backbone of everyone.

Liu Sheng rubbed his chin, now that the case is clear, in fact, he doesn't need to spend too much effort, he just needs to talk to the Ximen official first.

However, Ximen's house is not small, if the other party blocks it, his group of yamen servants may not be able to rush in.

After contemplating for a moment, Liu Sheng raised his head, his eyes were firm. Since someone was killed, he had no reason to let it go.

"Old Wu, take someone to find out if anyone in Ximen's family has died recently!"

The county magistrate dared not delay, and immediately ran out after receiving the order.

Liu Sheng said to the other yamen servants:

"Take a few brothers and invite the official Ximen over!"

Ximen official, his name is Ximen official, but he always calls himself an official, so people who know him call him Ximen official.

As for the other people in the courtroom, Liu Sheng came down and walked up to the two old couples:
"That's probably the case. Now you go to the back hall and wait. It is possible that the official made a mistake. In fact, your daughter was wronged, but this possibility is very small."

"Of course, if your daughter took the initiative to participate in it, I don't need to say more, and I will definitely not spare her lightly."

After finishing speaking, he sent someone to take the two of them down. As for their neighbors who came together, the words that defended Mrs. Pan seemed to slap them in the face.

Facing the melon-eaters who were packed around the hall, they really had no face to get out of the crowd, so they could only follow into the back hall and be guarded.

……

Simon's house.

The white-faced, bearded, suave Ximen high official, has already turned around in a hurry.

"What should I do? I never imagined that the county magistrate would be so decisive. In less than a day, he would deduce the truth of the matter!"

"I really underestimated him, what should I do?"

If this matter is leaked out, it will not only cause a great loss to his reputation, but also put him in prison.

This is to bear the double sanctions of morality and law!
Not only him, but also the pretty and young Pan frowned at this moment. She never thought why the plan, which seemed to her to be a perfect fit, was leaked and found out right away!
"Your official, you said you would definitely marry me!" Mrs. Pan worried that the official Ximen would give up on her, so she hurriedly pleaded.

"Master, the officials will be here later, or..."

The housekeeper who had just returned from the county government office glanced at Mrs. Pan unkindly, and then winked at the high official Ximen.

The official Ximen knew what the other party meant, how could he just let go of such a handsome Pan.

Besides, Pan didn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to resist crimes.

Once this matter was exposed, Pan's lightest punishment would be to soak her in a pig cage, not to mention wronging her husband and even killing her.

"Needless to say!" The official Ximen stood still and interrupted the butler, but his tone changed immediately, and he clapped his hands in a flash of inspiration and said:
"You said, if I bribe County Magistrate Liu, is it possible for him to let us live? Anyway, he has already captured Wang Dajiang, which is enough to take the blame!"

Pan's eyes lit up, and hope appeared on his face again, "Yes, this is the way to do it, it will definitely work! There is no county magistrate who doesn't like silver."

The housekeeper ignored her, but tried to persuade her:
"My lord, County Magistrate Liu is the son-in-law. Could it be that he is short of your money?"

Only then did Ximen officials suddenly realize that he forgot Liu Sheng's identity. He is a secret son-in-law, married to the emperor's favorite daughter, how could he be short of money.

"Then what do you think we should do?" He looked anxiously at the butler, and in order to prevent the other party from persuading him, he further said:
"As long as you don't let Mrs. Pan leave, everything is easy to talk about!"

The butler sighed helplessly, with a hint of hatred for iron, he turned his head and gave Pan a hard look, and then said:

"There is no way!"

"Speak quickly!"

The butler hurriedly explained what was not a solution, but Pan looked at the butler with resentment in a place where the two of them couldn't see.

……

The yamen servant who was sent to bring the Ximen officials here has not returned yet, but the yamen servant who went to inquire about the news has already found a clue.During this period of time, nothing major happened to Ximen's family.

It just so happened that a servant of Ximen's family died in the past few days and was buried just two days ago. The coincidence was a bit outrageous.

In order not to startle the snake, Liu Sheng ordered people to keep an eye on this place, and if the high officials from Ximen came, they would directly stabilize the opponent.

He took people directly to the scene.

Liu Sheng led the crowd to the place where the servant was buried. Without further ado, he ordered the grave to be dug up first.

The yamen handles cases, and the dead have to give way to the living. This servant has no relatives, so naturally he doesn't need anyone's consent.

This tomb is very new, and it is impossible to tell whether it was buried a few hours ago or two days ago. Only when it is dug up will it be known.

The yamen servants dug up the tomb, opened the straw mat inside, and what came into view was not a complete corpse, but a head with slight corpse spots.

Liu Sheng covered his nose and looked with his head. The fracture on the top of the skull was indeed consistent with the corpse.

Professional talents and a professional team cannot be taken for granted. If the head was not the corpse, Liu Sheng might have become a young Bao Zheng.

But he still hoped that the case would be simpler, that fewer people would die, and that his popularity could be reduced as much as possible, although Liu Sheng had already resigned himself to his fate.

Soon, Wu Zuo wrapped his head and walked up:
"My lord, this head is exactly that of the headless corpse found in the morning, and the fracture and time are consistent."

"It's just that my lord, I don't understand. Didn't this servant die a few days ago? Why are the body and head still fresh?"

Liu Sheng glanced at him, because the other party was a gangster, Liu Sheng expressed his understanding and explained:

"Since we can dig up the grave, then the officials of Ximen can also dig up the grave!"

"Help the funeral first and then die. Anyway, the tomb is full of new soil and you can't see it. So, is there any problem?"

It is estimated that the Ximen official and Mrs. Pan started planning a few days ago after learning of Wang Dajiang's return, so the servant's death happened.

"No problem!" Wu Zuo suddenly understood, and he bowed quickly, full of admiration for Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng waved his hand, this is just a simple reverse thinking, and I can't hide it from myself.
