After Meng Qingxi and his son left, he cautiously entered the house.
But the room was filled with cigarette smoke, and there was a statue of Xuan Dao on the altar table in the center, as well as various offerings, and a collapsed futon was spread on the floor.
It can be seen from this that Meng Qingxi should have been burning incense and bowing before him.
Xu Zhen observed carefully inside the house and explored all the rooms.
Because Meng Zhixiao's face was disfigured, he had not married for three years, and his mother had already passed away due to illness, so only the father and son lived in the whole house.
Xu Zhen first checked the rooms where Meng Zhixiao lived one by one, and then entered Meng Qingxi's room.
To his surprise, there was an elegant study room inside Meng Qingxi's bedroom. The bookshelves were filled with books and the walls were covered with calligraphy and paintings.
Unexpectedly, Meng Qingxi was in the transportation business, but he was also a man of culture. The four treasures of the study were all available in the study, and there were many written poems and essays on the table. Apparently he often practiced calligraphy here.
Most of the ancient books on the bookshelf are ancient books, and they look very old.
Since the founding of the Daxuan Dynasty, Xuandao has been designated as the state religion, and even the name "Daxuan" comes from this.
"Now that the murderer has been found," Xu Zhen ignored Li Zheng's question and continued to say to everyone, "then I announce that Yaochang Village will be unblocked immediately, and you can do whatever you like!"
But...if this happens, what will happen to Meng Shaojun's property?
"No one should think about Meng Shaojun's property," Xu Zhen seemed to be able to see through their minds and said immediately, "In two days the county government will send people to take them all away. The list has been made. If there is one thing missing by then, I will take them away.
A few of them went to the county government to appear in court."
What he meant was that if Li Qian could be convicted, then Meng Shaojun's property wouldn't need to be confiscated, right?
Xu Zhen also took out a few books and looked through them, and found that in addition to the ancient books on Xuan Dao, there were also many folk legends, as well as books on alchemy, cultivating people, and flying immortals.
As a result, at this moment, a series of explosions suddenly came from among the trees deep in the compound!
Bang bang bang...
"..."
However, it was through these seemingly normal things that Xu Zhen felt something different...
"I told you before, why did the magistrate send me to investigate an old case from three years ago for no reason? And only two of us were sent, including an inexperienced female scribe? What do you think?
Can you use your brain?"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole courtyard was in an uproar.
"..."
At the same time, the old residence of Meng Qinghui, the richest man at that time, was already overcrowded.
Everyone was speechless again. They were all confused by Xu Zhen's crazy way of dealing with it. Some began to complain and complain, while others simply spit out sweet things...
It seems that this Meng Qingxi is not only interested in calligraphy and painting, but also has considerable research on these techniques of immortality and enlightenment.
Therefore, Meng Qingxi believes in Xuan Dao, believes in some legends about gods and ghosts, and the art of making alchemy and ascending is obviously normal.
There is no doubt that Xu Zhen found a dead man like Meng Shaojun as a scapegoat. Since the real murderer could not be found, Xu Zhen could only deal with the crime by placing the blame on a dead man.
In the following more than a hundred years, Xuan Dao continued to flourish, especially during the period of the national master Qiu Dingtian forty years ago.
Obviously, he was the one who set off the whip.
"Is it you? Master Catcher..." One of them, Li Zheng, climbed up while holding on to the table, trembling and complaining to Xu Zhen, "What are you going to do? Scared...scared us to death!"
Seeing that there was no one else in the yard, Xu Zhen glared at them: "Why, if it's not Meng Shaojun, which one of you is it?"
"Ah? This..." For a moment, several people seemed to understand what Xu Zhen meant, but they seemed to not understand it at all.
oh……
Everyone was cursing in their hearts. This was not emboldening, it was just deliberately trying to scare people.
However, almost everyone's face was already pale.
"This..." Several people looked at each other, obviously still not wanting to accept this fact.
"Fellow folks," Xu Zhen said in front of everyone, "listen to me. It has been found out that the murderer who poisoned three years ago was none other than Meng Shaojun from your village!!!"
But no matter what, Xu Zhen was the county government's chief arrester. No one dared to mess around, so they could only disband on the spot along with the crowd.
"This..." one of them asked tremblingly, "Why, sir? How...how could it be Meng Shaojun? She is already dead!"
Those who had attended the wedding banquet were seated according to the positions marked in advance, while those who had not attended the wedding banquet stood around the courtyard, waiting to watch how Xu Zhen investigated the case and revealed the answer to the mystery.
But when they discovered that the crackling sound was just from a firecracker hanging on the treetop, they stopped in surprise.
Xu Zhen glared at Li Youcai fiercely and didn't even bother to teach him a lesson.
"It's okay, it's okay," Xu Zhen said to everyone in a nonchalant manner, "The yin energy here is too strong. Light the whip to strengthen your courage!"
"Okay," Xu Zhen didn't want to talk nonsense to them, and said immediately, "Meng Shaojun was the culprit of the poisoning back then! She hated Meng Qinghui for blocking her way of making money, so she secretly poisoned her. In order to get rid of suspicion, she did not hesitate to use her own
Wife, do you understand?"
Although it is not as popular as before, it is still popular among the people.
The sudden explosion shocked everyone. Some of the timid ones even fell to the ground in fright, and some turned around and ran away...
"Otherwise..." However, one of them, Li Zheng, still refused to give up and weakly suggested to Xu Zhen, "Let Li Qian..."
But in such a chaotic scene, who can calmly recall it carefully?
So everyone started complaining, making the scene even more chaotic. Some people even wanted to leave this ghost place quickly because their children were unattended.
His meaning is obvious. If Meng Shaojun cannot be used as a scapegoat, then Baozheng will be punished for concealing the report, and Yaochang Village will never have peace!
…
However, after the show ended, the three Li Zheng and the Baozheng Li Youcai were still surrounding Xu Zhen, wanting to ask Xu Zhen why he said that the culprit of the poisoning three years ago was Meng Shaojun?
"What? Not satisfied?" Xu Zhen said coldly, "Or, I won't let Meng Shaojun be regarded as the real murderer, and let's see what will happen to your village next? And, you Baozheng, huh..."
"You are all really pig-brained!" Xu Zhen couldn't help scolding, "If I didn't take Meng Shaojun's property back, how could the county magistrate believe that Meng Shaojun was the murderer?
"Ah? This..." Several people frowned again, but this time they completely understood what Xu Zhen meant.
However, Xu Zhen's next words shocked everyone.
ah?
What……
Soon, the firecrackers went off and Xu Zhen appeared from behind the tree.
Only Li Youcai, the guarantor, stood up and asked everyone to recall carefully. Can anyone still recall that anyone noticed anything special three years ago?
However, they waited for a long time, not to mention waiting for the answer, but even Xu Zhen himself didn't wait.
Only then did a few people suddenly realize that everything about their feelings was the county magistrate’s miraculous plan!
People have long been interested in Meng Shaojun's property, but they would be embarrassed if they took it by force, so they thought of such a tactful method.
In other words, Xu Zhen's past three days were just a formality, and he was not here to solve the case at all.
After thinking about everything, a few people became indifferent. Three days ago, they had a bloody fight over this matter. Now that they think about it, it is simply a big joke...
