Lang Bo and Song Zhi were happily getting along here, while Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong went to the city department.
They just got in—
Li Cheng saw it from a distance and hurried over to greet him.
While saying, "Oh, you are finally here, you have been waiting all morning."
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong glanced at each other, then walked in and asked, "Have you found it?"
"I found it!"
"What did you find?"
"Go in and talk about it." A few people entered the back hall, Li Chengcheng quickly handed her a piece of paper and said, "According to what you said, I sent someone to look for the place similar to the door nail overnight, and finally the emperor lived up to it. Those who are interested, they have actually been found. Look, those addresses are written on it, and you can go there at any time.
. "
Ji Yunshu took it and took a look.
The address is written on it.
After inquiries, there are three places that are similar to the door nails.
There are only three places in the entire Gaoding City.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and see together first." Ji Yunshu said.
Li Cheng was also anxious. Hearing this, he naturally didn't want to waste time.
He quickly said, "Okay, okay." Turning around, he ordered the guard, "You lead the way."
Guard, "Yes!"
then-
Li Cheng took several old officials and a line of guards from the city department, along with Ji Yunshu and Jingrong, to one of the addresses above.
It's an east market!
Usually those rich people don't come here at all.
At this time, people come and go here, very noisy!
Plus it was morning, it was even more crowded.
The vendors on both sides have already begun to display things.
People came here early to buy fresh vegetables and meat.
Because it has been snowing heavily recently, the ground has been wet and muddy, and those passing by will undoubtedly not complain. It will splash on people's robes, causing people to make noise with each other.
Along the way, passers-by are in all shapes and sizes.
twitter!
The barking of dogs, the barking of chickens, the barking of children, the barking of vendors…
It was also the first time for Li Cheng to come to this kind of place. The places where his feet stood were all rich areas, and he was a bit of a clean freak because he was in a hurry to solve the case.
The guards led them through the crowd and walked forward.
He also shouted all the way, "Get out of the way!"
Some people also retreated a few steps one by one when they saw that they were officials, but because there were too many people, even if they moved away, they couldn't make much room for them to pass.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people from the government?"
"Yeah, what's going on here?"
"Isn't there another dead person somewhere?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you crow."
"Then why did you say so many people from the government came."
"… "
"Could it be related to the last two murders?"
Miscellaneous voices also kept coming from the surrounding.
Any guess!
Jing Rong first protected Ji Yunshu behind him to avoid being hit.
Li Cheng also volunteered to stand beside Ji Yunshu.
While saying, "Ji Gongzi, you are small and easily injured by others. I will protect you by my side, and others will not dare to approach."
Oh oh!
Ji Yunshu nodded politely at him.
But Li Cheng didn't know that Ji Yunshu's hand was tightly tugging on Jing Rong's sleeve.
Because in her heart, only Jing Rong can give her the greatest sense of security.
Soon, the leading guard stopped, turned around and said, "Master Li, it's here."
Everyone stop!
It's in front of a stall that buys pork.
At this moment, two more women were buying meat. The butcher was chopping the meat with a big knife. He just picked up a piece and was about to weigh it, but he saw a group of officials crowded in front of his stall.
The meat I was holding in my hand fell onto the cutting board!
Bewildered.
At that moment, he almost thought about the bad things he had done in the past.
Could it be... that you were short of jins and liang when you were selling meat
Or do you charge too much and don't refund it
etc.
But no matter how he thought about it, he never thought that what he did would alarm the government.
Then he asked tremblingly, "Everyone... Officials, you are... "
But frightened him!
The fat on his body could not help but tremble a few times.
Li Chengsu made a face, first glanced at him, and then asked the guard, "Where is it?"
The guard pointed to the wall behind the butcher and said, "It's that wall."
wall
Li Chengshun looked over.
Found that wall covered with pork.
Pork is fresh.
Um
Li Cheng was unclear and asked, "Where is the thing similar to the door nail?"
The guard replied, "Sir, you can see clearly, the meat is hanging on those things."
uh-huh.
He looked carefully.
Sure enough!
Pieces of fresh pork hung on lumps of circular cement protruding from the wall.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong also looked over.
also found!
But the butcher was stunned!
Then he asked again, "Sir, who are you?"
While he was questioning—
The two women who had come to buy meat quietly slipped aside.
They don't want to mix things up with the government, so as not to cause a show.
Then, Li Cheng snapped his fingers.
He ordered, "Go, and quickly take off the meat on it."
So a few guards walked around the pork stall to the back, and took off the pieces of pork hanging on it.
The butcher panicked and wanted to stop it, but because they were from the government, he hurriedly asked, "You... what are you doing? Don't touch my pork."
Along the way, he has already picked up the knife weakly!
Timid is timid, but it is not enough to touch his flesh.
Li Cheng glared at him and said immediately, "The government does business."
This phrase really applies everywhere!
The butcher said, "Sir, I didn't do anything illegal. I honestly kill pigs, and all I kill are animals! What's the matter with me?"
Li Cheng slowly swallowed two words, "Murder!"
Murder!
"what?"
When the people around heard it, there was an uproar.
The butcher was stunned, "Fate... case, my lord, did you make a mistake? Could it be against the law to kill a pig?"
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows in response to him, "Of course it's not illegal to kill a pig, but what this official said is... you may kill people."
kill someone
The butcher shook his hands.
Eyes widened.
He shook his head and said, "No, I... I didn't kill anyone, my lord, I was wronged, wronged!"
Li Cheng, "I'm not wronged, I'll ask you questions later, so hurry up and stand aside."
"I… "
"You still dare to hold a knife now, what, do you want to kill?" Li Cheng looked at the knife in his hand, aggressive.
Uh.
The butcher's palm relaxed immediately.
The knife hit the cutting board. "Bang" sound.
