Chapter 671 Poor Wang Bao
After speaking, Li Canghai ordered someone to tidy up a house for Mrs. Wang and Zhang to live in temporarily.

But Mrs. Wang and Zhang shook her head again and again, knelt on the ground and wept: "My lord's kindness, the women would not dare to accept. Besides, my son is still in the ruined temple, how can the women let him suffer alone?"

"Poor parents all over the world." Li Canghai was full of emotions in his heart, he hurriedly supported Wang Zhang and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will order someone to bring Wang Bao here to live with you."

Mrs. Wang and Zhang were astonished. She was just a village woman, she didn't dare to look up when she walked past the county yamen, but now she could live in this yamen, which was beyond her imagination. .

After thanking her several times, Mrs. Wang and Zhang followed tremblingly to the room Li Canghai had prepared for her to rest.

After Mrs. Wang and Zhang left, Li Canghai immediately went to the main hall and found Zhou Feiyan.

"Master Zhou, how long have you been working in Dali Temple?" Li Canghai asked.

"My lord, I have been working in Dali Temple for seven years." Zhou Feiyan said respectfully.

"Seven years?" Li Canghai rubbed his chin and said, "Dali Temple is in charge of criminal cases all over the world. Dali Temple should have a record of all murder cases, right?"

"Exactly." Zhou Feiyan replied.

"Since you work in Dali Temple, do you know Wang Bao?" Li Canghai asked.

"My lord, the subordinate officials recognize him. His housekeeper, Song Zan, and the subordinate officials were candidates for the same subject, but Song Zhan's luck was unlucky, and he lost his name to Sun Shan, and later became the steward of Wang Bao." Zhou Feiyan said.

Li Canghai snorted, this is really a windfall, unexpectedly Zhou Feiyan recognized Song Yan.

"Then the official asks you, how is Song Yan?"

Zhou Feiyan thought for a while, and said: "I don't have much contact with him, but he is very shrewd and eloquent. In just half a year, he has changed from a clerk to Wang Bao's most trusted man." people."

"Then do you know where Song Yan is now?" Li Canghai asked.

Zhou Feiyan shook his head: "I don't know about this subordinate. I haven't seen him for a long time. Shouldn't he be a housekeeper in the Wang family?"

Li Canghai frowned, and said, "Master Zhou, go and investigate Song Yan's whereabouts quickly, and report to me immediately if you find out."

"The next official takes orders. I don't know if your lord has other orders?" Zhou Feiyan asked with a bow.

"Oh, by the way, since you know Wang Bao, you must have heard about the death of Wang Bao's sister three years ago, right?" Li Canghai asked.

Zhou Feiyan nodded, and said, "I did hear about what happened back then. It's just that the Chang'an Mansion was in charge of that case, and Dali Temple didn't get involved."

"Do you know what exactly happened?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"The lower official remembers that the head arrester in the Chang'an Mansion said that it was just an accidental fall to death. Wang Bao's sister, Wang Ying, slipped and fell to her death on the way back to her hometown to visit her relatives. As for the rest, the lower official is not very clear." Zhou Feiyan thought about it for a moment and said.

Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose and said, "Master Zhou, please go to the Chang'an mansion again and bring me the file of Wang Ying's falling off the cliff three years ago. I want to take a look. Also, send someone to Pingkangfang ruined the temple and took Wang Bao to Dali Temple."

Zhou Feiyan nodded respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, let's do it now."

After Zhou Feiyan left, Li Canghai found Benboerba and Baboerben who accompanied him to protect him. After explaining something to them, they left Dali Temple in silence.

Half an hour later, two yamen servants walked into Dali Temple carrying a stretcher.

"My lord, Wang Bao brought it here."

Li Canghai nodded, asked the two yamen servants to support Wang Bao on a chair, and let them leave temporarily.

"Craftsman Wang Bao has met your lord." Wang Bao sat on a chair, bowing his hands to Li Canghai with difficulty.

Li Canghai looked at Wang Bao, he was indeed as old man Hu said, ordinary-looking, honest and honest.

"Wang Bao, do you know why I brought you to Dali Temple?"

Wang Bao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Caomin don't know."

Li Canghai said indifferently: "I was on the road today, and I met a woman blocking the road and calling for grievances. The grievances she said were related to my daughter-in-law."

Hearing this, Wang Bao suddenly understood.

"Mother...it's my mother! My lord, my mother is a country woman. If I offend you, I hope you will forgive me! All the culprits are willing to bear all the blame, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Wang Bao thought that Li Canghai had come to him to punish Wang and Zhang for his crime of assaulting the minister of Dali Temple, his face turned pale with fright, he slid off the seat with a plop, knelt on the ground, and wept endlessly.

Li Canghai helped him up, and said, "I didn't come here to ask you for this matter. It was because of the seizure of your property. Let me ask you, how did you break your leg?"

Wang Bao smiled bitterly, and said: "Since my lord has been looking for me so far, he must have known about the family affairs of the grass people. Ma Rong, a bitch, conspired with Song Zan, and after I broke him, Song Zan not only did not repent, but also colluded with the government to kill him. I was arrested and beaten severely. After I was released from prison, I found out that all my family property had been taken away by Ma Rong and Song Yan. I searched everywhere for their whereabouts. A few days ago, I finally found the whereabouts of Ma Rong and she made an appointment I went to Da Ci'en Temple and said that I would give me an explanation there."

"After that, you went to the Great Mercy Temple?" Li Canghai asked.

Wang Bao nodded, and said bitterly: "That bitch Ma Rong asked me to meet him at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but when I got there, I didn't see him. In a fit of anger, he waved his palm and patted the railing, not wanting that the railing would be Just disconnected, and I fell off the tower."

Speaking of this, a fine layer of sweat oozed from Wang Bao's forehead, and he said resentfully: "It's also a grass-roots man who fell from the six-story tower, but only broke his legs, and he was lucky to save his life."

"So, you didn't see Ma Rong in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?" Li Canghai asked.

Wang Bao shook his head vigorously: "Caomin didn't see her."

Li Canghai put his hands on his chest, frowned and said, "I heard that you have practiced martial arts, how could you fall from the tower so easily?"

Wang Bao smiled wryly, and said: "Caomin has indeed practiced kung fu for several years, but when encountering such things, he is naturally annoyed, and it is inevitable that he is a little careless. In addition, there is ice on the floor tiles of the tower, and he accidentally fell come down."

Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose, and a strange feeling gradually rose in his heart. In deep thought, Li Canghai then asked, "How did you know Song Zan?"

Wang Bao's face darkened instantly, he hesitated for a moment, and sighed, "It was Ma Rong who introduced him to me."

"Oh? How did they know each other?" Li Canghai was a little surprised.

"I once asked Ma Rong. According to her, she met Song Zan accidentally on the street. She just thought that Song Zan would help me in business, so she introduced him to me." Wang Bao He pursed his lips and said.
