Great Lawyer

Chapter 354 Audacity (Part [-])

"This is the second time I've come here. The last time was four years ago." Tian Mao recalled, "Yes, the county magistrate was Lord Mao at that time. Do you know, Lord Mao, that he is now the prefect of Linjiang, Jiangxi."

Although Du Jiuyan had never met the three most recent county magistrates in Shaoyang, he was already familiar with them in the files.

In front of the current "Magistrate Liu County" is Lord Xing, who was dismissed after not staying in Shaoyang for long, and before that was Lord Mao.

There is a case in Lord Mao's hands that she still remembers vividly. It was when Ma Yi entered Yan's Mansion at night and was beaten to death with sticks. Lord Mao acquitted Yan's Mansion. Therefore, even though she had never seen it before, her impression of Lord Mao , it is really not very good.

"This river dam was built by Mr. Mao last time." Du Jiuyan seemed to have heard of it.

Tian Mao nodded and said: "Yes. It is indeed Lord Mao."

"How much money was allocated by the imperial court at that time, more or less than this time?" Du Jiuyan asked.

These things can be found, so Tian Mao didn't hold back, and replied straightforwardly: "60 taels were allocated at that time. But the project is much larger than it is now. The dam is five miles from Shanghe Town to Xiahe Town. .”

Double-sided repair, a total of ten miles.

It took 60 taels to repair the embankment of the Shili Waterway.Du Jiuyan has never been in touch with the data about the river dam, so he doesn't know what to do, and he plans to ask someone who knows it later.

"Then Li Er brought someone to repair it last time?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Last time, it was a very large work team. There were more than 200 people in one work team, and they were also from Changde."

"It's easy to do."

"This time, Brother Yinshou is doing military work. He built a dam and didn't need a lot of manpower, so he asked Li Er. With 20 people plus the corvee civilians, two months is enough for the construction period."

Tian Mao looked very proud, "Look, once this dam is built, it immediately relieves the upstream and downstream water potential. It is indeed a good thing."

"Mr. Du doesn't do water conservancy, so he can't understand our feelings. Whenever we go to a place, we see dikes and dams riddled with holes, but when we leave, we look completely new."

"This newness is by no means a new piece of clothing. It is the hard work and sweat of countless people, and it also contains the lives and property of countless people under the embankment."

"Excitement and pride arise spontaneously in my heart!" Tian Mao stood up when he was excited, facing the Taotao River, wishing to join in it.

Du Jiuyan smiled and said: "Ask an inappropriate question." Tian Mao turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak.She paused and said, "After investing 60 taels four years ago, why is it full of holes four years later?"

Tian Mao's complexion changed, and the valiant arrogance he had just disappeared suddenly. He said awkwardly: "Mr. Du doesn't know something. Such a big thing can't be done by one person. If there are too many people doing this, the levels will be uneven."

"It's useless even if the supervisor keeps an eye on it every day. There are always people who are lazy. Think about it, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest, and that little flaw may become a big hole. No one can guarantee such a thing. "

"It's full of holes in four years." Du Jiuyan looked surprised, "No wonder this river dam needs to be repaired every few years."

"Yes." Tian Mao said.

Du Jiuyan smiled with him, just when the lame man called her, she and Tian Mao clasped their hands and went to find the lame man.

"Is there a clue?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"No, the check is almost over, and the accounts are flawless." The cripple looked at her and said.

"No flaws are flaws." Du Jiuyan said: "There must be problems with the incoming and outgoing accounts, but it's just a matter of size."

The more perfect the account, it means that it is likely to be whitewashed.

"It won't be easy to investigate further." The cripple glanced at Tian Mao standing in front of the river, "I think Li Ying and others should be arrested and interrogated tonight."

Du Jiuyan agreed, "Clean up at night."

"Okay." The cripple went back, Du Jiuyan went to the shed, and Li Ying was instructing the two workers, "...My lord has arranged a carriage for me, you two go now, let Li Tou's son hurry up Find it, you work hard, you must be quick."

"This body can't be put away. There are still two days at most, so it must be burnt." Li Ying said.

The two of them should be looking for frogs, and the two of them drove back to Changde to find someone.

"Mr. Du," Li Ying and Du Jiu said, "I just sent people to go back to find Li Ying's son. When his son comes, we will let him take the ashes back. Do you think it's okay?"

Du Jiuyan said: "It's fine if you say so, I can't decide this matter."

"Then I'll ask my lord." Li Ying looked around for King Gui, and Du Jiuyan said, "My lord has something to do in the town. It is estimated that Mr. Huang from the government office and two accountants have arrived at this moment."

"You might as well wait here, my lord will be back in the afternoon."

Li Yingying was busy arranging Li Er's funeral.

After lunch, King Gui came over with a food box, followed by Wu Jue from the government office who knew water conservancy, Mr. Xie, the accountant, and Mr. Qiao, the accountant sent by the county government.

"After reconciling the accounts, there are a few points that I don't understand, so I'd like to trouble you to go and have a look." Du Jiuyan said.

The two accountants went to the work shed.

Wu Jue and Du Jiuyan saluted. She had seen Du Jiuyan in the government office, but Du Jiuyan didn't pay attention to him.

"It happened that something happened at home and I went back. I was planning to come over on Shiliu, but I didn't expect something to happen." Wu Jue said.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

King Gui looked at him and said, "Bring me the water conservancy blueprint."

Wu Jue was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought that after the death of Li Er, County Magistrate Liu would check the drawings and accounts of the project.

"The villain will go get it now." Wu Jue said to get things.

King Gui handed the food box to Du Jiuyan, "I brought you the food, are you hungry?"

"Really," Du Jiuyan carried the food box to Yinshou's room.Mrs. Yao also cooks, but the taste of the dishes is really not flattering. King Gui doesn't care, but he knows that Du Jiuyan is not used to eating, so he brought her food when he came.

From the way she eats, you can tell that she didn't eat at noon, and she is already hungry by now.

"Slow down," King Gui wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "I told Taoist Mao that he will be responsible for delivering your meals at noon from now on."

"I can't starve you down, I will feel bad." King Gui said.

The corners of Du Jiuyan's mouth trembled, a mouthful of rice stuck in his throat and he couldn't get up or down. He blushed and looked at King Gui. He came up to pat her on the back, "Eat slowly, I won't fight with you."

"Damn it," Du Jiuyan took a sip of tea, pushed King Gui back and sat down, "My lord, please be serious."

King Gui poured her tea and fed it to her mouth, "Drink water."

With trembling lips, Du Jiuyan drank the tea in his cup.

"That's right," King Gui looked at her with a smile.

"Ghost... possessed by a ghost?" Du Jiuyan looked terrified, "My lord, are you okay?"

King Gui said: "I've thought about it for the past two days. I kissed you that day, and I have to be responsible to you, so I have to treat you better."

Du Jiuyan coughed, "My lord, I have to remind you of something."

King Gui looked at her.

"You have a princess." Du Jiuyan said.

"Dead! She hasn't appeared for so long, so of course she is dead." King Gui said, "I don't care about her even if she isn't dead. Who knows who she married after so many years."

Du Jiuyan's eyelids twitched.

"But what if she not only lives, but also loves you to the death?" Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui looked disgusted, "I haven't seen her before, what is love, what's so cute." He paused, "Even if you love, it's still love, King Gui, not me, Zhao Ding."

The muddy man said something plain, Du Jiuyan changed the subject abruptly, "Let's talk about the case."

She told King Gui about what she had just chatted with Tian Mao, "I have an idea."

"Tell me." King Gui looked at her seriously.

Du Jiuyan pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "The four skeletons that were dug up a while ago, find out where they came from."

"You mean, the four skeletons four years ago are the same as Li Er four years later. At least in terms of the motive for the murder, they are likely to be the same?" King Gui said.

The way of handling the case is really becoming clearer, Du Jiuyan said with appreciation: "That's right."

"Have you started investigating the craftsmen who came here to work four years ago?" King Gui asked.

Du Jiuyan gave him a thumbs up, "My lord, you are really smart."

King Gui raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

"Let Gu Qingshan investigate," King Gui said, "Since it is a work team, it will be easier to investigate than imagined."

Du Jiuyan nodded.

After dinner, the two went to find Li Ying, intending to take him and Li Shuang with them and ask them carefully.

The two answered ambiguously yesterday. It's not that they didn't see it, but they wanted to let it go for a while.

"Where are Li Ying and your man?" Du Jiuyan found Yao Shi.

Yao yelled twice, looked into the water again, and found that there was no one in the water, "It's strange, my twins were still here just now." Thinking about it, "My lord, Brother Ying said to look for you in the town. Didn't meet you?"

Gui Wang frowned, turned around and called Frog, "Chasing after him, bring him back."

The frog should be, and quickly went to the town, ran back and forth twice, and didn't even see a person. The frog refused to accept it, and came back and called two brothers to go in three directions.

In the afternoon, the three met at the gate of the town.

"I didn't find anyone, but I saw this, I've seen this belt, it's exactly the same as the one on Li Ying."

Frog's complexion changed, and he shouted: "Da Linzi and I will look for it, you should go back and report to your lord."

An hour later, Frog found Li Ying's body in the mountains. When he brought it back, Li Shuang was also lying on the bed, stabbed in the stomach, and was dying of blood loss.

"Audacity!" King Gui's eyes were full of coldness, "We are investigating, but he dared to kill someone to silence him!"

Du Jiuyan turned around and asked Yinshou, "What else hasn't the dam done?"

"No more!" Yinshou shook his head, "I planned to check out and withdraw in these two days."

Du Jiuyan nodded and looked at King Gui, "Take them all back and interrogate them one by one. I'm sure the murderer is among these people."
