Poison Demon Immortal

Chapter 12 Not to be held accountable
Linjiang City.

County government office.

Chief Xu Ting of Liuyang Town reported the case to Cao Zhifu.

"Who do you think is the murderer?" Cao Zhifu asked.

"I'm afraid this is another unsolved case." Xu Tingchang said with a big frown.

"You have arrested the suspect and you still say it's a case without merit?" Zhifu Cao said in a teasing tone.

"The lower official is also afraid that the Liang family will be held accountable, so no matter what, he must first find a radish to fill the hole."

"Hey...you are clever...but if the Liang family really pursues it, a blind man may not be able to fool you. After you go back, you should investigate the case carefully, at least it must stand up to scrutiny...In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this case. Well, although the Pan family has something to do with the Liang family, the Liang family may not recognize the dog of the Pan family, and nine out of ten will not intervene." Cao Zhifu analyzed.

"Lord Cao...the blind man Jiuji's father has worked as a scholar in the provincial capital for more than ten years." Xu Tingchang spit out an important message.

"People go out for tea, let alone just a literati doing odd jobs. Of course, I know that his son has been wronged, but I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, this carrot can't be released from the pit for the time being, unless you can Catch a more suitable real culprit." Cao Zhifu shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty understands."

While the two were discussing, a Wen Zhi who worked in the county government came to the two of them respectfully, and saluted with fists together and said, "My lords... Mrs. Pan, He Shuhua, the shopkeeper of Qihuangtang, please see me."

Xu Tingchang and Cao Zhifu looked at each other, this He Shuhua is the most important figure in the Pan family, she is the treasurer of Qihuangtang in Linjiang City, and Qihuangtang is the property of the Liang family.

"Master Cao... I will take my leave now." Ting Zhang took the initiative to resign and leave.

Zhifu Cao nodded and went to the parlor.

In the reception hall.

A beautiful woman in white has been waiting for a long time with a servant.

The servant was carrying a tray covered with a black cloth.

The prefect Cao Dewen came to the hall and glanced at the tray. There must be silver under the black cloth on the tray. Judging by the bulging appearance, it must be at least 20 taels of silver.

After being the magistrate of Linjiang City for so many years, Cao Dewen still has this bit of insight.

Seeing the prefect Cao coming, He Shuhua hurriedly got up to meet Cao Dewen.

"Madam, please sit down, let's talk slowly."

After re-seating.

He Shuhua said straight to the point: "To tell you the truth, the daughters of the people came here to ask for something."

"Ma'am, it's okay to say." Cao Dewen said with a smile on his face while holding tea.

"Then I'll just say it straight, Minnv hopes that Mrs. Cao can erase the case of her husband Pan Changyun's death."

Cao Dewen thought he heard it wrong.

The Pan family is obviously a victim, but they actually want to erase the case.

"May I ask Madam what you mean by wiping it down?"

"My husband Pan Changyun died in an accident, not a homicide." He Shuhua explained.

Cao Dewen opened his mouth. He Shuhua actually made such a request. You must know that if He Shuhua was not worried that He Shuhua would use the power of the Liang family to investigate the case, the government would treat this headless case as an accidental disappearance of persons. A murder case was established.

Solving the murder case is too troublesome...

A murder case needs to be tried by the county government office, and the provincial government office needs to verify it. If it involves a family, it has to report the case to the family.

and many more!

Report the case to the family...

He Shuhua didn't want the news of Pan Changyun's murder to reach the ears of the Liang family.

Could it be that because the Pan family has no man, the Liang family will not hand over the medicine business to the Pan family.

It's also unreasonable...

He Shuhua just wanted to cover up the fact that Pan Changyun was murdered, but she didn't want to cover up the fact that Pan Changyun was dead.

Why did He Shuhua make such a request?What is she trying to hide?
"May I ask the reason?" Cao Dewen was really puzzled, so he simply asked.

"This is the reason." He Shuhua reached out and lifted the black cloth on the tray.

Cao Dewen's eyelids twitched, the tray was not 20 taels of silver, but 20 taels of gold.

One tael of gold is equivalent to 20 taels of silver, and this small tray contains 400 taels of silver.

"I wonder if this reason is enough?" He Shuhua asked.

"That's enough, there's a good reason for that." Cao Dewen said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Master Cao." He Shuhua stood up and said gratefully.

"Where is it... Madame misunderstood."

After Cao Dewen sent He Shuhua away, he immediately sent someone to send the corpses of Zhang Jiuji, Pan Changyun, and Han Yuer back to Liuyang Town. He also asked the police to send a message to Chief Xu Ting of Liuyang Town to treat the case as an accidental death. .

Liuyang Town.

Town government office.

"It turns out that the Pan family is a wolf with a big tail. I thought they had such a rich background that they should not be messed with." Xu Chuanren, the head of the pavilion, said cursingly.

It was impossible for Xu Chuanren to think that the Pan family, as the sufferer, would ask for the erasure of Pan Changyun's murder.

Based on Xu Chuanren's experience in the officialdom, he can naturally draw another conclusion.

That is, after some investigation, Zhifu Cao found that the Pan family was just a wolf with a big tail and had nothing to do with the Liang family of the Martial Immortal family.

"Hmph! What a pissed-off old man!" When Xu Chuanren thought of the unruly and willful Mrs. Pan, his teeth itch with hatred. If the Pan family really can't afford it, it's fine. Now it seems that the Pan family is just a show.

Next time that woman breaks the Daqian law, Xu Chuanren promises to let her know what official authority is.

pan mansion.

The eldest wife He Shuhua, the second wife Meng Yuniang, the third wife Li Huixiu, and the fourth wife Pan Yueqin gathered in the hall.

Pan Yueqin was making noise, and Li Huixiu was crying.

He Shuhua and Meng Yuniang spoke from the left and enlightened Pan Yueqin from the right.

He Shuhua said in a gentle tone: "Sister Yueqin...that Jiuji is a blind man, there is no way she was the murderer of her husband, she was clearly framed by others, this is obviously a case without merit, and those policemen have no clue at all. The ability to solve this kind of unresolved case..."

"Sister Yueqin... do you know what your husband and Han Yuer use to take a bath? That thing is absolutely shady..."

"Once the case is submitted to the provincial capital for approval, the provincial capital will report the situation to the Liang family, and the Liang family will investigate in reverse and find the bath water that was used as evidence. The consequences will be unimaginable..."

"Sister Yueqin... Although our four sisters have lost their husbands, they still have a huge family property. At least for the rest of their lives, we can live comfortably. If we make mistakes, we will be doomed. Life is worse than death..." Meng Yuniang said As he spoke, he began to cry too.

In the past few days...the four sisters have been crying all day long, it is really miserable.

Zhang House.

In Zhang Xiaojing's study.

"Jiuji! You are so daring, if the Pan family is not a wolf with a big tail, do you think you can come back alive!?" Zhang Xiaojing spit all over the place.

Since the son already has Gu worms, he will definitely not be a mortal in the future. Zhang Xiaojing does not intend to train Jiuji to become an intellectual, but to let him learn more about the ways of this world, so as not to be unclear about the situation and be confused Lost his life.
