Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 160
The gust of wind howled outside the county government office in Guobei County. Although it wasn't raining, the cold wind still made people feel chills.

In the lobby, as Hu Jiu lit the candles in the lobby, everyone could clearly see that shopkeeper Xu had been scared out of his wits by the previous scene.

As he stepped back, he covered his face with both hands, as if something was chasing him in front of him.

Although Wang Shuzheng and the others were stunned, they didn't say anything to ridicule.

It was all because they could clearly see the terrifying face before, it really didn't look like some kind of illusion.

The old bustard of Cangchunlou, Qi Dacai and others were also trembling with fright—this kind of fear had nothing to do with guilty conscience, it was just out of instinct.

After staying for a while, when everyone went to look at Hu Qian again, they felt awe and awe, and they didn't even dare to look into his eyes, as if they would be able to see all their thoughts as long as they met those eyes.

Hu Qian slapped the gavel and shouted: "Master Xu! You haven't really recruited!"

Shopkeeper Xu was startled, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help being discouraged, he slumped on the ground, and after a while, he clapped his hands again and laughed loudly: "Hahaha...

Qian Bohai and the Qian family deserve it all!More than enough to die! "

Hu Qian said, "Why did you kill him?"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Because he is from the Qian family, the Qian family deserves to die..."

He muttered a few words like crazy, no matter what Hu Qian asked, he just said a few words.

Hu Qian threw down the order sign and shouted: "Come here, hit forty big boards again!"

The left and right yamen servants immediately stepped forward, clamped him with water and fire sticks, clamped him on the ground, crackled and beat him, it was difficult for him to shout, but the words in his mouth continued to mutter.

"Damn the Qian family...Damn the Qian family..."

Hu Qian walked up to him and shouted, "Look at me!"

Shopkeeper Xu looked up subconsciously, only to feel a sudden change in front of him, and immediately stayed where he was.

Hu Qian asked: "Why did you kill Qian Bohai!"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "He is Erqian's descendant, so he deserves to die..."

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and continued to ask, "Who is Erqian?"

"Qian Keguo, Qian Kefa..."

Hu Qian immediately remembered that the two coins should be the two coins in the Erqian Hutong mentioned earlier.

"What grudge do you have with Erqian?"

"Erqian designed to frame my ancestor, causing him to be ruined..."

"Who is your ancestor?"

"Xu Fengnian, governor of the cloud..."

Hu Qian was taken aback, isn't this the owner of the tomb where the Han Ba ​​was seen outside the city earlier!

This shopkeeper Xu turned out to be a descendant of Xu Fengnian.

Wang Shuzheng in the hall was also taken aback.

At first, I just wondered why the shopkeeper Xu always answered Hu Qian's questions.

Hearing this, he couldn't help looking at shopkeeper Xu in surprise.

Hu Qian continued to ask: "Then how did you kill Qian Bohai?"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "After hearing Qian Bohai's surname that day, I inquired about his ancestors, who knew that he was really Erqian's descendant...

Later, I added aphrodisiacs to his meal, and told him how the Xiaoyu in Cangchun Tower moistens, so he passed the note. "

Hu Qian said: "There are so many girls in Cangchunlou, why choose Xiaoyu?"

"Because she is beautiful, in this case, if she dies or disappears, others will pay attention to it."

"and then?"

"I'll let Shunzi pick up Xiaoyu first, and then drug Qian Bohai to stun him.

When Xiaoyu arrived, I led her upstairs, knocked her out and played with her for a while, then gave her the medicine to feign death, and threw her at the door at night. "

The old bustard heard this and shouted: "You villain! You pay me... money..."

After only two words, Hu Qian glared at him, and immediately suppressed the rest of the words.

"Did you open the door of the morgue and take Xiaoyu away?"

"Yes, I calculated the time, opened the door of the morgue, carried Xiaoyu out, waited outside, and then hid her and Qian Bohai in the carriage.

After daybreak, they tied the two of them to stones, fell into the moat and drowned. "

"That way no one will suspect you, will they?"

"In this way, if the body cannot be found, most people will think that Qian Bohai and Xiaoyu eloped, or that Qian Bohai fled in fear of crime after killing Xiaoyu..."

"It's just that what you don't expect is that the bodies of Xiaoyu and Qian Bohai were washed out by the flood."

Speaking of which, Hu Qian received the magic power of nightmare prayer, sat in the lobby, and asked the clerk to take down the confession and sign it for shopkeeper Xu.

Shopkeeper Xu came back to his senses at this time, although he was horrified, he had said everything that should be said and should not be said, so he lowered his head, picked up his pen, and wanted to sign and draw a pledge.

At this moment, a reminder suddenly appeared in Hu Qian's mind.

[Where did shopkeeper Xu's medicine come from]

He froze for a moment, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Shuzheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up, as if he had succeeded in a trick.

He secretly thought that something was wrong, and immediately threw down the order sign, knocking out the pen holder from shopkeeper Xu's hand with a "whoosh".

Everyone was stunned, and when they were wondering, Hu Qian got up and shouted: "Master Xu! I ask you, you said you poured out Xiaoyu and Qian Bohai's medicine, where is this so-called medicine? And where did it come from!"

Shopkeeper Xu frowned hard, patted his head again, and muttered: "This...

Caomin really can't remember...

It seems to be an ancestral method...

It seems to have come from somewhere else by accident. "

Hu Qian asked again: "Then how did you unlock the morgue?"

"This... Caomin can't remember clearly..."

Hu Qian slapped the gavel, "Put shopkeeper Xu in prison, and retrial at another day!

In addition, anyone involved in this case is not allowed to leave the city! "

Wang Shu's face was livid, and he walked out without saying a word.

Hu Qian said: "Come here, take these two corpses to the morgue."

It started raining again outside, but it wasn't pouring.

Hu Qian first had dinner in Hou Ya, and after talking to Rong Ning'er, he went to the morgue.

Usually no one would come here at night, but when Hu Qian wanted to come and see, Wang Shisan, Wu Zuo and others naturally had to accompany him everywhere.

Hu Qian first scrutinized the whole case in detail, and then asked his assistant to examine the two corpses carefully.

The cause of death was just as shopkeeper Xu said, drowning.

Hu Qian frowned, and asked Wu Zuo to check whether Xiaoyu had intercourse before his death, and the result was...

No!

Shopkeeper Xu is lying!

Since he killed Qian Bohai and Xiaoyu with tricks, he naturally wanted to escape responsibility for the crime.

If this is the case, why would you deliberately say something to play with Xiaoyu? Wouldn't that add another crime to yourself?

Could it be that……

He didn't do these things at all?

Or did you say you did, but don't remember?

But if you don't remember, you shouldn't remember at all. Why don't you explain the cause and effect of the crime so clearly, but forget the most important medicine and unlocking at all?

and so……

The murderer is someone else...

Or, is shopkeeper Xu under control?
