Great Lawyer

Chapter 355 Come to Take Tonic ([-])

A doctor was invited, but Li Shuang lost too much blood, and his life and death were hanging by a thread.

Yao shi was crying on the side.

Tian Mao scolded: "Why are you crying, Mr. Liu is working inside, and your crying will affect Mr. Liu's handling of the case."

Yao shi covered her mouth in fright and tried her best to hold back, lying on Li Shuang's body.

Lame and Jiao San personally guarded the door, and all the craftsmen were waiting outside.

After half an hour, all the craftsmen had finished the trial. Qiao Mo came out from the inside, looked at Wu Jue, the two accountants and Tian Mao who were in a daze, and said, "Mr. Huang, my lord invites you in."

"Yes!" Huang Jueying said, got up and entered the door, King Gui and Du Jiuyan sat down each, while Qiao Mo was holding a notebook as a secretary.

King Gui pointed to the stool and signaled Huangjue to sit down.

"My lord," Huang Jue sat down anxiously, "You asked the craftsmen, but you got something. Did they kill each other because of internal strife?"

King Gui looked at Huang Jue, frowned and said, "It's still unclear who it is. I don't know for now." After a pause, he asked, "When Shaoyang County Magistrate Mao Wenyuan built this place four years ago, were you there?"

"Yes, the villain has worked in Baoqing Mansion for 16 years. In the past 16 years, the dam in Xiahe Town has been repaired three times." Huang Jue said: "Three times, the villain is here."

Du Jiuyan asked: "The foreman I found last time is also from Changde, why didn't you continue to find him this time?"

"To tell you the truth, my lord and Mr. Du, we didn't do well last time, so we didn't dare to look for it this time. Secondly, we built a rolling dam this time. The work is not too big, and it would be a bit expensive to find them again. No, there's no need."

"It's only 40 taels, we have to save money." Huang Jue said.

King Gui frowned, "Saving the flowers, it still cost 33 taels."

"My lord, you don't know that this fifteen-foot-wide dam has countless iron ingots, stone ingots and wooden piles. First intercept the flow and dig the silt. You don't know how much labor is involved in it. Hundreds of people eat and drink every day." It’s all money, we really save here and there, otherwise, 33 taels would not be enough.”

"This dam is really made of ten taels of gold per foot," Huang Jue sighed, "I don't know, people who haven't seen it with their own eyes don't know the way inside."

This tone is to say that King Gui and Du Jiuyan don't understand water conservancy.A layman only sees a lot of 33 taels, but they don't know that there are more places to spend money here.

"When the silver is dropped, there's not even a ringing sound." Huang Jue sighed.

King Gui and Du Jiuyan looked at each other and paused, King Gui asked, "Four years ago, was Li Er in the work team?"

"This villain really didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't ask. However, at that time, the work team was not alone. I heard that there were more than 200 people in three teams." Huang Jue said: "Perhaps, Li Er was in It's unknown inside."

"How do you think Li Er died?" Du Jiuyan asked Huang Jue.

"Isn't it an accident?" Huang Jue said: "When I came, I heard that everyone accidentally fell into the water."

"What about Li Ying's death and Li Shuang's injury?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Li Ying is a dishonest person. I heard that he still gambles. Maybe the debt collector will kill the enemy." Huang Jue said, "As for Li Shuang, I won't make it clear. I haven't said a few words, so I don't know much about it." .”

King Gui nodded, "Go and call Tian Mao in."

Huang Jueying went out and called Tian Mao, "My lord calls you in."

Tian Mao's complexion was a bit ugly, County Magistrate Liu was just a county magistrate, and he called him "Master" purely because Shaoyang was under his jurisdiction, but at this moment, he was being interrogated with him.

Even if he is a low-level official, he is still an official of the Ministry of Industry.

If he went to the capital, he, magistrate liu, would not be as good as him.

"En." Tian Mao nodded and entered the work shed, bowed to King Gui, and sat down on the stool opposite, King Gui asked: "I remember that many people came to escort the official bank in the capital. Did all those people go back? "

Tian Mao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that the other party's first question would be to ask this. He thought for a while and replied: "Yes, the money has been checked and accepted by the government office and county office, and they will be successful."

"You live here alone, don't you bring your family or servant with you?" King Gui asked.

"Your Excellency, you are joking. When people like us go out, we always carry a burden and leave. Then we can bring our servants and family members with us." Tian Mao said.

King Gui nodded, and asked Huang Jue the question he had just asked.

"...The villain really doesn't remember whether Li Er was there four years ago. However, he probably wasn't there. If he was, Li Er should mention it this time no matter what."

"There are too many people, and I go to different places every year, so I really can't remember clearly." Tian Mao said.

"Then who recruited Li Er this year?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"It's someone from the government office. Li Er didn't arrive until a day after I arrived here." Tian Mao said.

Du Jiuyan nodded.

King Gui waved his hand impatiently, "Go, I'll call you if something happens."

No matter how hard Tian Mao was to maintain, he left with a livid face.

This county magistrate Liu really has no sense at all.I don't care about you showing off your power in Baoqing Mansion, but you actually have the same attitude towards me.

Don't talk about respect, it should be respected.

This is simply not taking him seriously.

"He is very angry," Du Jiuyan said in a low voice, "It seems that he is not convinced by your county magistrate's attitude of bossing him around."

King Gui curled his lips, "Even if I am a county magistrate, I can't bow and flatter him. I'm just a handyman."

"Master Lame!" Du Jiuyan yelled towards the outside, the lame man came in, and the two little policemen outside the door automatically stood up and guarded the door.

The three sat down facing each other.

"Mr. Yao said that four years ago they worked here with Changde's foreman Li Zhishui for three months. However, Li Er was not in his early years at that time. They were all working together." Du Jiuyan said: "But Both Huang Jue and Tian Mao said they didn't remember people like Li Er."

"Tian Mao said that if Li Er came here, he should mention it, but I think Li Er will definitely mention it." King Gui said.

"What does it mean now, both Tian Mao and Huang Jue are lying?" Lame concluded.

King Gui nodded and tapped his fingers on the table, "At least, the two of you are suspicious."

"We're just waiting for Jiao San's news now, if he can find out who is related to that knot. Also, are there any missing people in Li Zhishui's work team in Changde?" Du Jiuyan concluded.

"Okay." The lame man said, "The cadaver did an autopsy just now. Li Ying was hit on the back of the head by a stone, and four of his ribs were broken. There was a sound of water flowing when his stomach was pressed. He should have died from internal internal hemorrhage."

After the ribs were broken, the lungs or other internal organs were punctured, and eventually he lost too much blood and died.

"Li Ying was stabbed in the abdomen, and there were many bruises on his body. The place he found was a mountain depression. I went to see it just now, and there were footprints and running marks on the surrounding grass and ground. It should be in the process of chasing and killing. Li Shuang He stumbled and fell into a mountain col, and the person who killed him didn't know why he didn't continue chasing him."

"Maybe I know that someone is here." Du Jiuyan said, "I have an idea tonight, but before doing it, I have to wait for Jiao San to come back."

Hope to have some news.

In the evening, the western half of the sky was covered with sunlight. Jiao San came riding out of the sunlight. Du Jiuyan looked at him expectantly and said, "Third Master, you came here on auspicious clouds."

"Xiangyun?" Jiao San looked back, "Isn't it a dark cloud, I think it's going to rain."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "The temperament of the third master is more suitable for Wuyun. Come in and report and summarize your work results today."

Jiao San went in and drank tea, wiped his face and said, "I didn't have time, I didn't go to Baoqing Yamen, so I only checked the backgrounds of Tian Mao and Huang Jue."

"Have you gained something? You are so lucky?" Du Jiuyan couldn't believe it.

"It's true," Jiao San looked outside, and his four heads were all in the middle, and Jiao San lowered his voice and said, "Tian Mao can be a water official because his family's ancestors were all in water transport." , he practically grew up on a boat."

The four heads were separated, showing different expressions.

"Then examine Tianmao." The lame man concluded.

It is rare for King Gui to agree with his decision, "If you don't recruit, you will be beaten to death."

"My lord, he is the imperial court..." Jiao San said halfway, King Gui waved his hand and said, "If I don't even dare to beat a handyman, how can I survive?"

Jiao San nodded repeatedly.

The person sitting here is King Gui, not Magistrate Liu.

Just forget about this face.

"I'm sending Gu Qingshan back now, I guess he will be here at least tomorrow afternoon." King Gui said: "We will pack up our things tonight and take people back to the county government."

Du Jiuyan said: "Leave tomorrow morning, and do something else tonight."

All three looked at him.

The night was getting dark, Yao Shi, who was the only cook, was crying and paralyzed beside Li Shuang's bed. Everyone had nothing to eat, so King Gui sent someone to the town to buy two hundred buns, and when he came back, he ate them among three or five. Du Jiuyan ate meals delivered by Taoist Mao himself.

"Doctor Hu is here." Frog led Dr. Hu who was brought over from Shaoyang, "My lord, Doctor Hu is here."

Dr. Hu was getting old, but he was getting more and more energetic. He got off the carriage, and before he had time to arrange his clothes, he bowed his hands to King Gui and Du Jiuyan.

"My lord, you are being polite. There is something in the yamen. No matter what time you ask me to come, this old man is obliged."

"Thank you." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Dr. Hu followed Du Jiuyan into the room, and everyone stood at the door. Frog introduced to everyone: "This is Dr. Hu from Shaoyang." Doctor, he has the best medical skills. "

"As long as he is here, there will be no incurable injuries."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Yao kept thanking him.

Everyone is waiting at the door.

Du Jiuyan came out from the inside, "Go back and rest, Dr. Hu is administering needles, it may take a while before he wakes up."

"Let's go." Du Jiuyan waved his hand.

Everyone dispersed.

Du Jiuyan and King Gui went to Yinshou's work shed, and there was only Dr. Hu and him doing the needles inside, while a small catcher was guarding outside, squatting on the ground eating unfinished steamed stuffed buns.

"Is Doctor Hu still inside?" Tian Mao asked with a smile, "Is he awake?"

The little catcher quickly shook his head, "Doctor Hu went to get the medicine in the carriage. The needle is still on his body, and he said he would wake up in at least half an hour."

"I'll go and have a look," Tian Mao said as he entered the door, the little catcher quickly stopped him and said, "My lord won't let you in, you can't go in."

Tian Mao said: "Sir, if you don't let others in, can you still not let me in? I'm not an outsider."

As he spoke, he pushed the little catcher away and quickly entered the door.

The room was very small, and it was the bed when you entered. Li Shuang was lying on the bed, his dark and old face was lifeless, lying upright, and the silver needles pierced on his body trembled slightly with his breathing.

Tian Mao walked to the bedside and called out, "Li Shuang."

Li Shuang didn't respond.

Tian Mao spread out his hands, and in his palm was a pack of medicinal powder. He opened it and poured it into Li Shuang's mouth...
