"No, Juan'er, Juan'er! It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Wang Tiezhu hugged Hongjuan and cried. Hongjuan in Wang Tiezhu's arms opened her eyes slowly.

"Brother Tiezhu, our life is hard and we can't blame others. Let's be husband and wife in the next life." Hongjuan cried on her face.

When Wang Tiezhu heard this, he was even more heartbroken and cried bitterly: "Juan'er, I really didn't kill anyone. When I left, she was still alive, still alive, and scolded us and cursed us for never being together."

Seeing this, Zhao Geng in the hall was afraid that Wang Tiezhu would regret it, so he shouted loudly: "Come on, continue to beat me! He admitted that he had only the only one who had been beaten. You still don't admit it yet. The people inside and outside can see it clearly."

But strangely, many people outside the door stopped talking, and some even muttered to plead for Wang Tiezhu in a low voice, thinking that the blacksmith Wang Tiezhu was very pitiful.

Suddenly, Wang Tiezhu turned around and stood outside the door with a white-haired old man with wrinkles and tears. He kowtowed three times hard and cried: "Master, you must believe me. Your disciple has not killed anyone. The disciple cannot serve you in the future."

After Wang Tiezhu kowtowed, he stood up with Hongjuan in his arms and said in dismay: "Don't use torture, even if I killed him. I admit it!"

Seeing this, Zhao Geng showed joy and was about to ask the yamen runners to let Wang Tiezhu write the record. At this time, Bao Qing walked out and bowed to Zhao Geng and said, "Sir, you want to teach Wang Tiezhu a lesson. Now I believe that at this moment, he will never forget this scene for life, and he will never drink or beat others up."

Zhao Geng was a little confused. What was this scholar doing? The case was closed soon and he said something inexplicable. Wang Tiezhu, who was about to die, suddenly heard it. It seemed that the situation had a turnaround. He was excited and kowtowed and cried: "Master Qingtian, I really didn't kill you! Master Mingduo, Mingduo!"

"Bring the next one, Qiulan, a guy from Hongxiangji Rouge Water Noodle Shop." Bao Qing said.

After a while, Qiulan was brought up. After Qiulan came to the hall, she was a little surprised when she saw Hongjuan. When she saw Wang Tiezhu kneeling there with her skin and flesh, her heart suddenly became much brighter.

Before Bao Qing could speak, Qiulan shouted: "Sir, please make the decision for the boss's wife. It was this adulterer who killed the boss's wife together." After that, he kowtowed desperately.

Zhao Geng sat upright in the hall. He was a little confused when he saw Qiulan crying blindly, and felt a little upset. He couldn't help but slapped the auspicious tree and shouted: "Don't cry! Let's sign up!"

Bao Qing was a little laughing, thinking that this case was really satisfying, it was much more satisfying than writing novels by himself. When would it be fun to sit in the hall and knock on the arbor?

"Minister Qiulan."

"Okay, okay! Bao, Master Bao, please continue to ask!" Zhao Geng didn't know what to call Bao Qing in this lobby, so he had to call Master Master. When the captain Zhang heard this, he thought that County Magistrate Zhao had really hired Bao Qing as Master Master. He thought in his heart that he was cautious and did not offend the new Master. Moreover, this new Master was not simple at all.

Bao Qing looked at Qiulan. The woman had a flying corner of her eyes, thin lips and high cheekbones, and her eyes were flickering. She didn't dare to look up and looked at her. She looked like she was not a good person.

"Qiulan, are you and Hongjuan good sisters?"

"Yes!"

"You are good sisters, so you should help me give in. Why did you do it just now?"

Seeing this, Hongjuan hurriedly asked, "Lan'er, why did you just say nonsense, please tell the master clearly."

"I'm talking nonsense? I'll ask you, are you two having an affair? Did Wang Tiezhu come to the store that day? Isn't it your agreement? I'm killing my relatives for justice. Besides, how can you be worthy of the boss's wife?" Qiulan spoke quickly and said a lot of tricks.

"Okay, stop talking. I ask you, you just said, Wang Tiezhu arrived at the store that day on a rainy day! How did you know? Are you there at the scene?" Bao Qing sneered.

The case is very interesting. At first Bao Qing thought that Wang Tiezhu killed someone. But it was wrong to think about it. If Wang Tiezhu killed someone, it must be for resentment. He did not know where the boss’s money was placed. Even if Hongjuan told him that after killing someone and robbing money, he would be panicked. How could he remember the place where the money was stored so clearly, the scene would inevitably be messy, and witnesses proved that Hongjuan was not present on the scene that day.

That is to say, there may be an internal thief who is extremely familiar with the place where money is placed. Apart from Hongjuan, there is only this Qiulan. After Captain Zhang's investigation, Qiulan's younger brother has become very rich recently, so this Qiulan is very suspicious.

Bao Liuwen just said something in Bao Qing's ear. It turned out that Bao Qing suspected the cause of the boss's death. He asked Bao Liuwen to investigate the coroner who was examined on the day in detail. The coroner then told him about the situation of the autopsy on that day. One of them was what Bao Qing wanted. That was, there was a very fine purple mark on the red handprints on the boss's neck. This means that it is very likely that the boss's wife did not die after being pinched, but was strangled to death.

Bao Qing was waiting for Qiulan to answer why she knew so well that day? Is it because she, Qiulan, was also on the scene?

Seeing this, Qiulan knew that she was about to make things happen, so she shook her head and said, "It rained the night the boss died, everyone knows it! I just thought that except for Wang Tiezhu and the boss, there should be no one."

"But you told the boss about Wang Tiezhu and Hongjuan? I believe that Wang Tiezhu and Hongjuan generally won't tell others about this easily unless they are their own very good friends." Bao Qing asked.

"I didn't say it," Qiulan quickly denied it, but instead added, "Maybe I accidentally let it go."

"Is that so? I think you said it intentionally. The boss lady valued Hongjuan, so you were dissatisfied and provoked it. Is what I said right?"

Qiulan's performance was obviously not to be self-inducing. Hongjuan was a little disappointed and asked in pain: "Lan'er! Is it true? Why? I think you are my good sister! Why?"

Bao Qing shook his hand and signaled Hongjuan not to interrupt, "Some people are born jealous. Qiulan, I'll ask you if you strangled the boss's wife to death after Wang Tiezhu left! Then take away all the money and leave!"

After Bao Qing said this, the people at the same time seemed to be in a furious situation. The people outside the door suddenly became turbulent and were talking. The magistrate Zhao Geng even trembled in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder, why is this case so complicated?

"You're talking nonsense, talking nonsense!" Qiulan shouted.

"Nonsense? Why did your brother suddenly have money to visit the kiln? It was actually the boss's wife's money. When someone came, she took off her collar!" Bao Qing shouted.

The yamen runners were stunned. One was not the order issued by the magistrate, and the other was that so many people watched, it was inappropriate to open the collars of other women in this lobby. Who dared to obey such orders?

Of course, Bao Qing was not in a hurry. At this time, a burly figure rushed out of the yamen runners, just like Zhu Daniu standing aside and waiting for Bao Qing to dispatch. Zhu Daniu rushed to Qiulan, stretched his hand, grabbed Qiulan's collar, and pulled it hard to reveal the woman's fair neck.

Zhao Geng in the hall didn't even have time to stop him, and cursed in his heart that this scholar was really insulting his ethics. The people watching at the door also started to make a fuss.

Bao Qing looked at Qiulan, and reached out to grab her neck, and a small jade pendant wearing a red rope fell into her hand.

Bao Qing shouted loudly: "Qiulan, now you are suing you for murder. You use Hongjuan's affairs to provoke the relationship between the boss lady and Hongjuan and instigate the boss lady to blackmail Wang Tiezhu. You also know that Wang Tiezhu has the habit of hurting people after drinking, so that day, you secretly hid in the store and waited for the opportunity. Sure enough, Wang Tiezhu came to him at night, but Wang Tiezhu did not deliberately hurt people's lives, just to intimidate them. So you were very disappointed. After Wang Tiezhu left, you strangled the boss lady to death with a rope hanging on your neck. Then, you swept away all the money. I am afraid that this jade pendant is more expensive, so you don't want to throw it away and wear it all the time around your neck."

In fact, Bao Qing just took a gamble and didn't expect that when he grabbed it, he saw the pendant on Qiulan's neck. Qiulan looked panicked and was about to refute.

Bao Qing shook his hand and said, "You don't need to refute. We have evidence. This is the testimony of the coroner's autopsy that day. In addition to Wang Tiezhu's pinch mark, the boss's neck also has a very dark purple mark, and the trace is like you. The real fatal scar is this scar."

Bao Qing turned around and bowed to Zhao Geng and said, "Sir, the real murderer in this case is Qiulan. Now there is sufficient evidence and confession to her."

Zhao Geng was still about to speak, but he saw Qiulan in the hall had long been ashamed and slumped on the ground. Isn’t this clear? Zhao Geng slapped the wood and shouted loudly: “The record will be taken to her, and the criminal Qiulan will be taken to the death prison. Qiuou will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for resignation! Withdrawal!”

At night, the magistrate Zhao Gen was quite happy and held a banquet at the best Yuebin Building in the city to entertain Bao Qing. Of course, a group of constables also benefited from it.

"Bao Xiucai, you solved the case like a god. Unexpectedly, your alcohol tolerance is amazing. If you have the chance, I will recommend you to your mentor. Haha, it's not me that you have the alcohol tolerance in the officialdom and will definitely kill everyone." The magistrate Zhao Geng was now impressed by Bao Qing.

"Master Bao, you should know that my master's mentor is Master Lu in the dynasty!" Captain Zhang hurried over and said to Bao Qing, he really thought Bao Qing was the master.

"Lu Xiang? Well." Bao Qing really didn't know who Lu Xiang was, and he had no idea. Just like he didn't know who the Prime Minister was in his later generations? This was really ignorant.

"Lu Xiang, Lu Yijian. You will understand from now on. Bao Xiucai, there are two more cases, so you can also help me see it!" Zhao Geng said.

"No problem, if you have anything, Lord Zhao just give orders." Bao Qing smiled.

"Bao Xiucai, I don't know whether to say it or not! With your wisdom, if you embark on the road of official career in the future, your future will be limitless! Can you participate in this imperial examination?"

Bao Qing felt depressed. He couldn't write, so how could he take the imperial examination? Besides, who would believe this? A scholar could not write?

"It's better not to take the exam, but what can I do if I get into a Jinshi? The key is to rely on my relationship recommendations. Don't worry, my brothers Zhao Geng and I are very close to you. I will help you speak nicely in front of your mentor in the future." Zhao Geng sincerely won over Bao Qing. In Bao Qing's opinion, Zhao Geng is a better one. At least he seems to attach more importance to ability and should be a hard-working official.
