Zhao Rong picked up a golden slit, carefully identified it, nodded slightly, and smiled, "It's indeed worth two taels of silver, and I'm with me." Li Long was so happy that he smiled happily when he heard it.

Zhao Rong touched his sleeve and pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did you forget to bring silver? There are only some copper coins, and you have to pay for wine."

After hearing this, Li Long immediately said anxiously, "Why is it good?"

Zhao Rong said, "It's better to follow me to pick it up, so I will live in front street."

Because Li Long was in a hurry to get the money, he did not doubt that he was there and said, "Go immediately."

Zhao Rong stood up, paid the money for the wine, and left the store and returned to the government office. Li Long followed closely behind, fearing that he would lose it.

After walking for a while, Li Long asked where he was. Zhao Rong pointed at the front and was talking. Captain Xing came towards him and was about to speak. Zhao Rong winked, and Captain Xing understood and rushed towards Li Long. Li Long was unprepared. In addition, Captain Xing was good at fighting and was knocked to the ground in a moment.

Wei Que helped Captain Xing tie Li Long, and then smiled, "Boy, let's see where you escape this time!"

Captain Xing arrested Li Long, but Li Long was both screaming and making trouble, and struggled hard, but it was useless. This move attracted people to watch. Some lovers wanted to help him, but they saw that it was a toll, so they dared not come forward. They just asked why. Zhao Rong did not say anything and entered the government office. Master Song came forward and saw another person coming. He was surprised to see that it was Captain Xing.

Zhao Rong sat at the table and shouted majesticly, "Bold Li Long, do you know your guilt?"

Li Long was still in shock and confused.

At this time, Captain Xing shouted sternly, "You guy didn't kneel down when you saw the commander?" So he forced him to kneel down.

Li Long looked up at Captain Xing, then looked at Zhao Rong again, and suddenly realized that the buyer was actually an official, why was he so foolish? In addition to regret, he made up his mind and insisted, "The villain is not guilty, but the villain is wronged!"

Zhao Rong smiled indifferently and said, "Captain Xing, is there a cloth bag in his arms?"

Captain Xing was desperate and reached out to touch him. As expected, he handed him over. Zhao Rong opened the cloth bag, showed a few pieces of jewelry, placed it on the table, and asked, "Li Long, what is this?"

Li Long's expression flashed and he still argued, "It was the thing left by his mother. Because of the difficulty of life, he found it to exchange for some silver and buy some salt and grain."

Zhao Rong shouted loudly, "Stop talking! When he is about to die, he still dares to deceive me. Li Long, why don't he recognize the truth about how to murder Liu?"

Li Long was shocked and begged for mercy, saying, "Sir, you are wronged! Everything the villain said is true and he dared not deceive Lord Meng. The villain has never conspired to murder others. I wonder how the adult blames the villain?"

Zhao Rong sneered, "You are naughty and slutty, I don't think you will admit it truthfully. Captain Xing, please go and summon Liu Cheng quickly. After he recognizes the jewelry, he will know the difference." Captain Xing agreed, about to go out. Li Long was already sweating profusely and panicked, and said anxiously, "Sir, just admit it."

The people inside and outside the government were surprised to hear this. It turned out that Li Longfang was the murderer of Liu! But the two of them had no relationship, so why did they take this savage?

It must be for money!

While everyone was guessing and wondering, Li Long heard the terrified words, "The villain likes to bet, and the things in the house have been pawned for a long time, so he had to borrow money everywhere. Later, he couldn't borrow money, so he made a living by stealing. This... this jewelry was stolen by the villain from the Liu family."

Zhao Rong sneered, "Li Long, do you know what crime should be used to deceive me?"

Li Long said anxiously, "The villain is still... not finished speaking. Last night, the villain was idle and wandering around, trying to steal some valuable things. Just as the villain was wandering around, he vaguely saw a black shadow ahead. Fortunately, the villain was brave and hid in the dark to see what he was like. The man seemed to be carrying a heavy object and his behavior was mysterious."

"The villain thought he was a fellow fellow and stole some valuable property, so he followed closely. The man did not notice the villain, so he walked out of the street, found a path, and arrived at a deserted place, placed the things in a small hole, and then spread some thatch to cover it. The villain thought that it must be the person who hid the things here first, wait for the opportunity to take them away. After the man left, the villain groped over and reached out to touch them, and he would scare the villain to death."

"It turns out that something is not valuable, it is actually a person! The villain turned around and walked, and after a few steps, he thought to himself, since he was a human, why did he touch him without any movement? Could it be that a dead person? Since he was a dead person, there might be valuable things on his body. The villain raised his courage, turned around, and touched him again, and it turned out to be a dead person!"

"The villain dragged the body out of the hole and found that it was a woman. It was dark at that time and he never recognized that it was Liu. The villain was obsessed with money. He touched the silver on the body, then stripped off the jewelry, and then left in a hurry. Today, the villain lost the three taels of silver and had to find a buyer and sold the jewelry. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the adults. His words were true and there was no lie. The Liu family was indeed not murdered by the villain. The murderer was a man with a figure similar to that of the villain, and he must have been a nearby person. But the villain had never seen his face clearly."

Everyone heard it clearly and secretly praised it.

In this way, Li Long is not the murderer, the real murderer is someone else.

The case is so tortuous and bizarre, and it’s up to Zhao Rong to determine how to determine it. Zhao Rong could only hear Zhao Rong ask, “Li Long, where do you see that black shadow?” Li Long replied, “The villain can see that black shadow at the junction of street avenues.”

Zhao Rong lowered his head and pondered. According to Liu Cheng, the body should be behind Feng Er's house. The small path entered the entrance of the main road, and the head hairpin found in the grass can also be confirmed. According to Li Long, the murderer must have walked on the road behind the street, and moved the corpse and abandoned the house.

Is this the real murderer someone else?

Or is it one of these two?

If Liu Cheng said, the body was lying in the grass and there was no one else, why did Li Long see someone shouldering it? Thinking of this, Liu Cheng must be lying, and the murderer was him.

While thinking about it, someone rushed in from outside the yamen. Zhao Rong turned his head and saw that it was Li Wuchang.

When Li Wu often saw Zhao Rong, he immediately said anxiously, "Sir, a body was found in the pond outside the city. Someone who knew him recognized the deceased as the shopkeeper of the neighborhood Wuwei Store."

Before Li Wuchang could finish speaking, Zhao Rong said in surprise, "Is Wu Youcai dead?"

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Rong felt cold sweat all over. He hurriedly got up, waved at Li Wuchang, and said, "Let's lead the way." He then asked Captain Xing to watch over Li Long.

Li Wuchang led Zhao Rong out of the city. There were many people following behind him, chattering and making mistakes. After leaving the city, he walked east for about a quarter of an hour. As expected, he saw a large pond, about ten acres of water surface. The water waves rose and the waves flashed. There were many onlookers standing next to the pond. Some sharp-eyed people saw Zhao Rong coming and shouted immediately, "Here, come, the people from the government are here!"

Everyone came one after another, and Zhao Rong got into the crowd. He saw a man lying on the ground, with a short figure and fair face, about thirty years old, and a dark clothes, but he looked very ugly.

Zhao Rong looked around and asked, "He is Wu Youcai, the shopkeeper of Wuwei Store?"

Everyone around him nodded and said yes.

Zhao Rong asked again, "Who found this body?"

A person flashed next to him. Zhao Rong looked at him, but he was an old man in his fifties, with his clothes worn and broken. The old man said timidly, "Sir, I saw him when the grass people threw fish grass."

Zhao Rong asked, "Is the old man the owner of this pond?"

The old man shook his head and said, "This is Wang Yuanwai's family business, and the grass-roots are just a helper in the Wang family."

Zhao Rong said, "Old man, let me tell you in detail."

The old man nodded and said, "At noon, the little grass people came here to put fish grass. Seeing that there seemed to be something in the water grass, the grass people pushed the bamboo pole away, but saw a corpse floating in it. The grass people were so scared that they threw the bamboo pole away, and hurriedly called some people to drag the corpse to the ashore. At this moment, this master came and told the grass people not to move around." The old man looked at Li Wuchang, and Li Wuchang nodded, indicating that it was clear.

Zhao Rong looked at the water surface and there was a wooden frame beside the water, which was convenient for villagers to get water and wash things.

Li Wuchang took the bamboo pole and tested the depth of the water.

The old man hurriedly said, "This water is deep and cold, and it cannot be enough. In previous years, many people who swim in the water drowned here."

Li Wuchang explored the water, and it was indeed low and deep.

Zhao Rong squatted down and looked at the corpse.

Someone next to him said, "It must have been a mistake that fell into the water and drowned."

Some people also retorted, "How could Wu Youcai come here? It must be a ghost who fell into the water to find him."

Zhao Rong stretched out his hand, spread the deceased's lips, and looked at it.

Then he reached into the arms of the corpse, took out a cloth package, and when he opened it, it showed several ingots of silver.

Li Wuchang whispered, "Old Xing is proficient in coroner techniques, so you can call him to check it." Zhao Rong nodded. Li Wuchang turned around and ran away.

Zhao Rong pushed the crowd away and looked around. He saw a forest ahead, lush and green tiles hidden among the green trees. He asked the onlookers, "Who is living in that yard?"

An informed onlooker replied, "It is where Wang Yuanwai's house is."

Zhao Rongqi said, "Why is Wang Yuanwai's house here?"

The man replied, "I don't know anything. There are many houses outside the king, and they are in the neighborhood, and there are also incense halls, Qin Hall, Flower Hall, etc. This is his flower hall, which grows various flowers and plants."

Another onlooker said, "There are pavilions, towers and cold pavilions in this flower hall, and the water passes by."

Zhao Rong asked in confusion, "Why is the water walking in the middle?"

The man continued, "It led the water from the upper reaches, penetrated the flower hall, and then flowed into the pond. The pavilions, buildings and cold pavilions were constructed according to the terrain, and the care was very exquisite."
