Chapter 406 Looking for a scapegoat

And when they came back, Xi Yu didn't ask about this again.
Perhaps forgetting about this, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Zhao Yun finally arrived at Long Wei.
He immediately met the county magistrate of Longwei County.
When the county magistrate knew his identity, he was startled and quickly knelt down to him.
The master next to him did not expect that the dead person was Xi Yu's father-in-law.
Zhao Yun said that the case must be closed within two days, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
The county magistrate quickly agreed and asked Zhao Yun to rest again.
Once the first result is achieved, you must report it to him.
After Zhao Yun was settled, the county magistrate asked the master and said, "What should I do? This case is very difficult, and after all, it has been many days."
The master pondered for a while and said, "If it really doesn't work, find a scapegoat. In short, just give Zhao Yun an explanation."
"Master, can this work? If they offend them, they will pursue them in the future..."
"Master, but now we don't have any other better way."
The county magistrate considered it and seemed that he could only do this, so he quickly ordered someone to call the inn owner.
Soon, the inn owner arrived.
The county magistrate told the inn owner that he would sit down and have tea with him.
The boss felt panic.
"Master, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it."
"I heard that you have a wife and a concubine in your family. And you also have a young son who is in poor health all year round."
The boss was surprised.
Hey, how could the county magistrate know about this?
"When I go back to the master, I really didn't expect that the master even knew about the villain."
The county magistrate looked at the master.
The master quickly took out a bag and opened it.
Many currencies shine with golden light in front of the inn owner.
"I heard that your youngest son spends a lot of medical expenses every year, so this is my reward. I hope you must accept it."
"Master, what are you doing?"
The inn owner knows that no one is good to him for no reason, and it is definitely a purpose for others to do this.
"Give it to you, just take it."
But the boss was so scared that he knelt down and asked the county magistrate what he was going to do?
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth."
So the county magistrate told me about what Zhao Yun came today.
At the same time, the identity of the deceased was also specifically expressed.
The inn owner is now fighting with Dou.
"So he asked the county to close the case within two periods, but you also understand that there are many things in this county, and this problem is particularly difficult."
The inn owner was stunned at first and soon understood what the other party meant.
This is clearly looking for a scapegoat.
And this scapegoat probably has to do it himself, or find someone himself.
The currency I just wanted to give to myself was just a deposit.
A cold sweat suddenly appeared on his face.
The county magistrate laughed.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly, aren't we having tea together?"
At the same time, he looked at the master, and the master helped the boss.
"Come on, come and have tea together."
When the boss sat on the stool, he felt like he had a layer of skin.
The master poured the tea for him, but he still didn't seem to react.
"How about it, inn owner, do you think it was done by the waiter in your store?"
This has already been suggested, just ask him to find a waiter.
The inn owner thought, it seemed that he would not need his own life.
He laughed.
"Maybe that's the case. When I go back, I must check it carefully."
After drinking, the county magistrate asked him to bring the money with him.
The inn owner also accepted it with peace of mind.
He knew that if he didn't accept it, the county magistrate would probably not feel at ease with him.
However, for two consecutive days, Zhao Yun was basically outside during the day and only returned to the guest room to rest at night.
The county magistrate also couldn't figure out what he was doing.
Finally on the third day, Zhao Yun asked the county magistrate if he had found out the truth of the matter.
"Returning to General Zhao, the villain lived up to expectations, and finally found out a little. And he would be promoted to the church immediately."
Zhao Yun insisted that he must listen to it this time.
The county magistrate said that he thought so too.
So when I was promoted to the hall, I first brought the inn owner.
The county magistrate pretended to behave and said, "Boss Huang, the matter was made in your store, and I will tell you the matter in detail."
Boss Huang said that a man went to the toilet and discovered such a scene, so he quickly asked himself to report to the official position.
And after careful inquiry, the inn owner provided a clue.
There is a waiter in their store named Lin Tao, who told the story while talking drunk.
Therefore, he is no longer the case.
"No, please bring Lin Tao up now."
A thin waiter was brought up and he knelt down with a thud.
The county magistrate asked, "Are you Lin Tao?"
"The smallest one is exactly."
"Then was Mr. Ouyang killed by you?"
Lin Tao nodded.
"By the master, that's true. I saw that man was very rich at that time. So I wanted to ask him for money quickly, but he didn't give it to me. In the end, I strangled him to death and put it in that corner."
He said that he could have left the other party outside, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he put it there for the time being.
The county magistrate took a photo of the table.
"It's simply outrageous. How dare you do such a crazy thing."
After that, he started to sign and seal it.
Zhao Yun said: "Slow down."
The county magistrate asked: "General Zhao, what's wrong?"
"Hmph, do you want to act in front of me?"
The county magistrate and the inn owner were shocked.
I don't know how Zhao Yun guessed it.
But they naturally deny it very much.
Zhao Yun then asked Lin Tao.
"You said, did they coerce you, seize what the hell or what, and let you deliberately commit perjury?"
Lin Tao wanted to tell the truth, but he still smiled faintly and said, "No, I am just uneasy in my conscience."
He said that when he was talking in his sleep, he was heard by a waiter.
At first I asked myself, but I didn't admit it.
But later he planned to admit it. After all, after Ouyang Fu died, he also had nightmares every day.
"I know, I will be beheaded in the future if I admit it, but this makes me feel more at ease and can also give birth to a good baby after death."
The county magistrate said, "General Zhao, he has already admitted it. Why do you need to plead for such a villain?"
Lin Tao kowtowed quickly.
He said that he should not kill people, and hoped that after his death, the King of Hell would forgive him.
I also hope that the boss can burn less money for himself by the time of his death.
The county magistrate asked Zhao Yun if he could let him put his seal now and prepare for the verdict?
"I believe in my judgment. He is definitely not the real murderer. Don't be so perfunctory."
Lin Tao admitted that he was definitely the murderer and hoped to let himself die as soon as possible, otherwise he would still be uneasy.
Zhao Yun said: "If I say you are not, you are not. You must go with me now and go to the yard alone. I will talk to you."
The county magistrate said: "General Zhao, you cannot affect my case handling, although your identity is different."
"What's wrong? Do you want to tell me that the land of Sichuan and Shu is not the only thing that Mr. Xi said, so I'm not qualified to do so?"
"No, General Zhao, listen to me."
"I don't listen to anything." Zhao Yun grabbed Lin Tao directly and took him to a hidden corner of the yard.
"Say, why do you want to commit perjury?"
But Lin Tao said that he did not commit perjury himself.
"Did they catch your family and if you don't say perjury, your family will have something to do?"
Lin Tao was a little crying because what Zhao Yun said was completely correct.
But he must not tell the truth.
Zhao Yun continued to ask him, but he still didn't speak when he saw him.
I dragged it directly into the yard, in a very secret corner.
After that, he returned to the hall.
Previously, the county magistrate and the inn owner were whispering, no matter what they said, they would just refuse to admit it.
Besides, Lin Tao's family has been caught by the inn owner.
As a hostage in his hands, how could the other party refuse to recognize him?
Suddenly, they saw Zhao Yun coming, and they arrived alone.
Zhao Yun looked at the two of them very angry and mixed in the seat again.
"I have asked clearly just now. Lin Tao admitted that he did not do such a thing, but you two deliberately framed him. You two caught his family and deliberately threatened him, right?"
Zhao Yun just wanted to cheat them, but the two of them were indeed panicked.
The inn owner said that there was absolutely no such thing.
The county magistrate also said that this is absolutely not the case.
Zhao Yun said: "This general has investigated clearly. Have you two still not pleaded guilty?"
The inn owner was a little panicked. Now that he was here, he was not allowed to send someone to deal with Lin Tao's family.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tao admitted it at this time, which was simply outrageous.
He had never seen such a scene before, so he immediately knelt down.
"Yes, General Zhao, all this was forced by the county magistrate to do this."
He said something about the drink that day.
The county magistrate shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense. When will the county let you do such a thing? Don't talk nonsense."
Zhao Yun then asked the county magistrate to admit it quickly, otherwise he would be punished.
Sure enough, Zhao Yun began to torture himself. He took a big board from the yamen runner's mouth and started to fight directly at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate had no choice but to admit it in the end.
He said that because the two-day period was too short, he could not solve the case at all, so he had to come up with this bad plan.
"I have come here thousands of miles away, and I have made you do evil here. It's simply outrageous."
The county magistrate and the inn owner quickly knelt down, hoping that Zhao Yun could forgive them.
Zhao Yun also told them the truth, and Lin Tao was knocked unconscious by himself.
He didn't say this at all.
The two of them were shocked.
Zhao Yun said, "But you two deserve to die."
Zhao Yun cut off their heads directly.
The yamen runners present felt very surprised.
Zhao Yun then looked at the master who was trembling on the side and was so scared that his face was bloodless.
"I guess this matter is related to you."
The master quickly knelt down, hoping that Zhao Yun would forgive him.
"The county magistrate is dead now. You will be the one who will try the case on his behalf. You must give me a good result."
The master felt inexplicable.
"What, do you think I'm not qualified to do such an order?"
"No, the small one feels too surprised, the small one will do their best."
Zhao Yun said that if he gave him three days, if he still couldn't find out, he would directly destroy his nine clans.
The master promised to solve the case as soon as possible.
The master must have started working hard next, so how can he find out this matter?
So he went to the inn again for inquiries.
I even learned about the situation of the people who stayed here that day.
But the people who stayed there had already left, and they went there to check it out?
Finally, he knew where Pang Yun’s home was, so he ran to Pang Yun’s village to find out the situation.
When he learned that there was another gentleman named Ma who had also come here, he began to investigate the appearance of the man named Ma.
He finally told Zhao Yun that this person with the surname Ma might be suspicious.
However, I don’t know who the person named Ma is.
However, he unexpectedly met a painter, who was from that village, and said he had met Mr. Ma before.
He can draw a portrait of Mr. Ma, but it may be a result tomorrow.
Sure enough, it was Sima Yi's appearance that the master began to post all over the city, giving clues.
On the afternoon of the third day, the master still had no clues.
At this time, I was already anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
He took the initiative to find Zhao Yun and knelt down for him, hoping that Zhao Yun would punish him.
"The villain is incompetent and cannot get the truth of the matter. I hope General Zhao will kill the villain, but never harm the villain's family."
Zhao Yun knew that he had done his best these days.
"As long as you do your best, I will not attack you. It's just that the hateful county magistrate is doing it perfunctorily, so I can't help it."
When the master finally felt relieved when he heard him say this.
At this moment, a soldier came to report that a masked man sent a letter.
He said he could provide a clue, but he was unwilling to show up.
Zhao Yun asked the soldiers to open the letter immediately.
The content of the letter is Sima Yi's true identity, and it turns out to be Sima Yi from Cao Pi.
And Zhao Yun quickly understood the link.
It was Cao Pi who didn't want Xi Yu to get better, so he sent someone to do this.
"It's simply outrageous. Cao thief, I, Zhao Zilong, and you are incompatible."
He finally let the master go.
The next day, Zhao Yun and his master met a person who had stayed in that inn.
It is true that I have seen this person in the portrait.
Now Zhao Yun has fully confirmed that this must be the one behind Cao Pi.
Since that's the case, he planned to write a letter to Cao Pi first and ask him to hand over Sima Yi, and give an explanation.
Otherwise, the troops will advance and start attacking.
Zhao Yun finally left.
The teacher also breathed a sigh of relief.
He also knew that other county magistrates might come in the future, so it is important to save his life.
So I quickly left this place.
On this day, Song Shuwen was about to reach Youzhou.
According to the itinerary, I would be able to see Xi Yu in two days.
However, one thing delayed him.
When he came to a village, he saw an old man lying on the side of the road and was injured.
He felt compassionate, so he brought the old man to prepare for treatment immediately.
However, when the old man was put on the horse, he suddenly realized that the old man was still a relative of his, and that was one of his cousins.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"
He quickly found a dilapidated temple at the entrance of the village, then brought down his cousin and prepared for treatment.
He checked the other party's injuries and probably was hit by a carriage.
Moreover, this cousin is sick in his body. If he wants to cure it thoroughly, he must go to the mountains to collect a very rare drug.
He also remembered that although he and this cousin had not walked around for several years.
But it seems that the other party is childless.
So I just put him in the dilapidated temple first. I guess no old man is concerned about it.
He wants to collect herbs quickly.
On the other hand, Zhao Yun wrote a letter to Cao Pi, but he quickly went to Youzhou again.
A few days later, Cao Pi received the letter and was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi's affairs were investigated.
It seems that there is really no airtight wall in the world.
He immediately asked someone to call Sima Yi.
Sima Yi arrived soon.
"Mr. Cao, are you doing something?"
Cao Pi was very angry and read the letter Zhao Yun wrote to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi was shocked and it turned out that this matter had been investigated.
"Yes, how do you think the aftermath should be cured next?"
When Sima Yi heard Cao Pi's words, he seemed to have bad intentions. He might have offered himself, right?
Everything I did was for the sake of Cao Gong’s good.
Cao Pi smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand the meaning of this marquis. I don't mean to hand over you. I just want to ask you how we should solve this problem thoroughly."
After thinking for a while, Sima Yi said, "It's very simple. We did go to find Pang Yun, and we asked Pang Yun to treat the lord, but our subordinates did not kill Ouyang Fu."
Because this portrait is just a judgment that he and Ouyang Fu go to find Pang Yun together.
If you say you killed them, there is no evidence.
Cao Pi thought, yes, why didn’t he think about this?
When I received this letter, I just knew I was anxious.
"It's really a mystery to the authorities, and the bystanders are clear. I feel much better after hearing what you said."
