Zaozhuang County is not very far from Kaoshan Village. In just one meal, Boss Han's wife was brought back. When she met Li Tianyao, Boss Han's wife fell to the ground and cried.
"Sir, before the slave man died, Bai Er, one of the supervisors, came to my house to molest me. The slave family was worried that the man would cause trouble and did not dare to tell him.
Unexpectedly, after the man died, he would molest the slave family again by sending pension money to the slave family. The slave family was heartbroken and couldn't think about it for a moment, so they committed suicide by hanging themselves. "
The overseer's face turned pale: "Sir, this is a villain's fault. When I promoted the overseers, I only looked for those who were powerful and able to control people, but I didn't expect to recruit such a scum!"
Li Tianyao said coldly: "Where are the people? Why not capture them together?"
The policeman on duty said: "Sir, after Zhang Tou and I heard this, we immediately went to arrest Bai Er. Unexpectedly, when Bai Er saw what had happened, he tried to resist arrest. During the fight, he injured his vital parts. He was already dead and his body was lying on the ground." It’s outside the door.”
Li Tianyao ordered people to bring the body in. After careful inspection, he found that he had been stabbed several times, including a fatal stab in the neck. Both the foreman and the policeman had stab wounds, so it seemed that Bai Er was indeed vicious.
The supervisor lowered his head and said, "I have asked several other supervisors that before Boss Han's accident, Bai Er did inspect that area.
It seems that he secretly entered the path, and while Boss Han was working, he injured Boss Han with a hammer, collapsed the path, and buried Boss Han alive. "
Boss Han's wife screamed miserably and fainted to the ground. Han San lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Master Qingtian, make decisions for the common people!"
Li Tianyao sighed and said slowly: "Although this matter is difficult to solve,
I don’t know, but it’s probably not wrong. Bai Er covets a wife, and harming people's lives is unacceptable. Because he has surrendered to the law, he has lost both his life and death.
Zhang Captou, as the leader of the supervisor, did not know the person well, did not conduct a serious investigation after the incident, and failed to control the miners from injuring others. This was indeed an act of dereliction of duty! Get rid of the job of arresting the head and sit in jail pending trial!
Boss Han died innocently, and his wife had no one to rely on. He searched Bai Er's property, compensated Boss Han's wife, and escorted him back to his hometown.
Han San appealed for the grievances of his fellow villagers and was compassionate and righteous. The government compensated him and those who died because of the case and escorted him back to his hometown. "
This verdict was well-founded, affectionate and righteous. Even Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly, Han San and others in the hall even shouted loudly, and even the supervisor/Captain Zhang kowtowed and confessed.
An unsolved case with no supporting evidence was solved by Li Tianyao repeatedly. Due to the lack of a government agent, Li Tianyao and the agent personally put Zhang Captou in jail.
Xiao Feng followed, looked at the empty cell, and said with emotion: "Many places claim to be places of etiquette, but prisons are overcrowded. Under Brother Li's rule, I am quite as cool as I rule by doing nothing."
After the case was over, Xiao Feng took Li Tianyao back to the back hall with admiration and asked someone to reheat the food and drinks and have a few more drinks.
Li Tianyao was relieved of his worries and had a good drink, but he saw that the remaining seats had been removed behind the bead curtain, and he was playing with something on the table, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Hearing that Xiao Feng was back, Chang An lifted the bead curtain and showed off two shiny black things to Xiao Feng: "Master Xiao, look, this is what Sister Pearl gave me. It is carved from coal!"
Xiao Feng smiled and reached out to take it, but there were two small statues, one male and one female. The male was a small statue.
Taoist priest, the woman is dressed in palace clothes, she is obviously a princess. Between her eyebrows is the image of a little doll, very cute.
The statue is light, hard, black and shiny. It is indeed carved from coal. Coal essence is also called coal jade, which is a special kind of coal in the coal seam.
Ordinary wood will turn into ordinary coal when buried underground, but in the process of forming coal, a small part of hardwoods such as oak, pine, birch, and cypress will dissimilate into coal essence, just like jade.
Wherever there are coal mines, you can always find coal essence. It is a local specialty of the coal mining area, not a high-end gemstone. Princess Changan has eaten it before. The reason why she likes this pair of coal essence ornaments is definitely not because of their preciousness, but because Sister Pearl understands her thoughts. .
Xiao Feng looked at the pair of soot villains and smiled, not knowing what he was thinking. When Princess Chang'an was unbearably sleepy and was taken to the bedroom by Pearl to sleep, Xiao Feng and Li Tianyao were both a little drunk.
Xiao Feng put his hand on Li Tianyao's shoulder, smelled of alcohol, and looked mysteriously at the backs of Chang An and other women as they left.
"Brother Li, is there a brothel in Zaozhuang? Take me to see it..."
Li Tianyao was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiao, you are not kidding, are you? Aren't you afraid that Her Highness the Princess will find out?"
Xiao Feng waved his hand: "You are so boring. I don't believe you haven't thought about it. Tell me, have you ever thought about it? Have you ever been there?"
Li Tianrao saw that Xiao Feng was a little drunk, and was afraid that if he started yelling again, his innocence would be ruined, so he had to agree quickly.
Early the next morning, Xiao Feng and Li Tianyao came back with four dark circles under their eyes. Xiao Feng was still energetic, but Li Tianyao was almost exhausted and miserable.
.
Although he had heard about Xiao Feng's unique taste and bad reputation, he really didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so arrogant and picky.
Although Li Tianyao has been the magistrate of Zaozhuang County for three years, he is not familiar with the brothels in Zaozhuang area. The reason is very simple, he and Pearl have a good relationship, one of them.
The second is that although Zhenzhu voluntarily gave up his status and salary as a county prince for his political ambitions, it was only in name. Who in the entire Shandong Province did not know the identity of the county prince Zhenzhu?
If Li Tianyao went to visit a brothel and was discovered, it would not only be a trivial matter for an official to have sex with a prostitute, but he would obviously dislike the daughter of the old Zhu family!
What are you doing? If you are not satisfied with marrying the daughter of the old Zhu family, you still want to visit a brothel. Where do you want the royal family to put its face?
So last night, the team was led by the policeman who was well known in the Zaozhuang area, accompanied by Li Tianyao and Zhang Wuxin, and visited all the brothels in Zaozhuang.
The city of Zaozhuang is not big, and there are not many hooks in the brothels. Xiao Feng went into a brothel and saw that he was not satisfied, so he waved to his mother: "Change a batch!"
Xiao Feng is handsome and has a capital accent. A group of girls hanging lanterns bit their lips and looked at him lovingly. However, his "change batch" made their faces pale and they left in tears.
When there was nothing more to change, Xiao Feng shook his head and patted his butt and left: "How dare you open a store with just this little stuff?"
The second one, the third one, there was a total of one brothel in Zaozhuang City, and neither of them caught Xiao Feng's eyes. The policeman looked at Li Tianyao helplessly, and Li Tianyao also had no choice but to whisper to the policeman.
"I heard that Mr. Xiao has a unique taste. Maybe brothel hookups are not to his taste.
If there are doors that are ajar, take them with you to have a look. "
The result was the same inside the half-closed door. Xiao Feng looked at a few people and curled his lips, expressing dissatisfaction. Li Tianyao looked at the policeman helplessly, meaning is there more?
The policeman grimaced: "If we look at the city, there are no more. There are only false widows on the edge of the mining area."
Xiao Feng became interested upon hearing this: "What is a false widow?"
The detective did not dare to show it on his face, but he was laughing in his heart: "Sir, there are some first-class men who are either weak and sick, or injured in the mines, unable to work, or simply lazy.
This kind of man happens to have a pretty good-looking wife, so the woman claims to be a widow and opens the business, but the man actually lives nearby. "
Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly: "This is good, go and take a look at this."
Li Tianyao sighed inwardly, it seemed that there was no ground for it, Xiao Feng really had a unique taste, not only did he like mature women, but he was also good at being a thief.
It's a pity that Xiao Feng visited several mining areas and still couldn't find anything satisfactory. Finally, seeing that it was almost dawn, he had to yawn and came back disappointed.
Li Tianyao, who had been with him all night, heard the news that Xiao Feng was leaving before he could rest for a while. He quickly got up to wash up, put on his official clothes and came to see him off.
Chang An and Miss Pearl were reluctant to leave: "Mr. Xiao, can you stay for a few more days? Sister Pearl and I haven't seen each other for many years."
Xiao Feng shook his head: "There will be opportunities in the future. We can't stay in one place for too long, otherwise someone will find out our whereabouts and set up an ambush halfway.
I didn't plan to enter Zaozhuang County in the first place. It was only because of the case that I got the chance to meet Lord Pearl. I had to be content with everything and let's go. "
Li Tianyao versus Xiao Fengxiao
He said: "Brother Xiao was not able to enjoy himself fully this time, but I tried my best. If I have the opportunity to be promoted to the capital in the future, Brother Xiao can't ignore me."
Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly: "The quality of your place is indeed a bit low. I own Chunyan Tower, a famous building in the capital. I will definitely let you enjoy it when the time comes, and it will be kept strictly confidential!"
The two laughed loudly and said goodbye, and the group of people left in the dust. After watching everyone go away, Li Tianyao and Pearl returned to the back hall, chatted for a few words, and then walked into the cell alone.
The cell was empty with few people. Zhang Captou was sitting on the hay in a cell and was eating. When he saw Li Tianyao walking in, he quickly stood up and saluted.
"Sir, Master Xiao and the others are gone?"
Li Tianyao nodded: "You are an old errand, why are you so careless? Fortunately, I know that Bai Er is usually lustful, otherwise how would this matter end?"
Zhang Captou chuckled: "Sir, there is no proof of this matter. Even if we let them investigate, they can't find anything. They are just insisting on their own opinions."
Li Tianyao said with a cold face: "Confused! Is Xiao Feng an ordinary person? Although his word detection skills are limited, he is a master of solving crimes with careful thinking.
If his suspicions hadn't been dispelled in time and he had conducted a serious investigation, wouldn't it have ruined my affairs? After the incident in Qingzhou, I ordered you to cheer up, but you still got into trouble for me! "
Zhang Captou said with a bitter face: "Sir, I also thought about killing all the people in Hanjia Village, but it was not three or five people, but twenty people!
If you really dare to kill them all at once, I'm afraid there will be a big mess. Besides, we are short of manpower in the mine. We have to mine hard for a while before closing the mine.
, so that I can find a reason to send him away!
And this matter was indeed unexpected. Didn't Xiao Feng and his party say that they were going to Dengzhou? Why did they come to Yanzhou?
There were so many officials passing by and they didn't care about blocking the way and complaining, but he had so many things to take care of. This really caught the villain off guard. "
Li Tianyao thought for a while with a cold face: "You will bring people with you tomorrow. The mine cannot be closed down immediately. Let's spread the news first, saying that the coal produced in the mine is getting less and less, and the mine should be extinct.
Then gradually disperse the foreign miners to work in other mines, and in the end only the local miners in Kaoshantun are left. Their families are here. With this threat, it is much easier to control than the foreign miners! "
Zhang Captou nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, what you are saying is that when the miners in Hanjia Village made trouble this time, most of the outside miners looked on with cold eyes and refused to help.
It was the local miners in Shantun who helped us more. They also beat to death the two guys who complained, which shows their loyalty. "
Li Tianyao nodded and said: "Threatening the lives of the whole family and the whole village, and buying them with double wages, this combination of kindness and power can turn this mine into an iron barrel."
Zhang Captou hesitated for a moment: "It's just that Shantun Coal Mine has always produced a lot of coal. If the mine is suddenly closed, I'm afraid it will affect the output and the orders delivered from various places will be affected."
Li Tianyao said calmly: "Stupid, just ask other mines to work harder! There are plenty of mines, but people work slowly, isn't it? I asked you detectives to be supervisors, are you just here to drink tea and chat?"
After arranging all the affairs, Li Tianyao returned to the back hall again. Although he had not slept all night, he was relaxed and in high spirits.
Looking at Pearl taking a nap
, with a soft figure and elegant temperament, she couldn't help but come forward to hug her gently, kiss and caress her.
Pearl was woken up by him, opened her beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "Where did you go last night? Sister Chang An and I slept all night. When I went to see you early in the morning, the bed was cold!"
Li Tianyao slurred in his mouth and intensified his hand movements, leaving Pearl unable to concentrate on asking this fateful question. Soon the conversation between the two turned into a single byte in a cadence.
Satisfied, Li Tianyao slept with Pearl in his arms for who knows how long. When he opened his eyes again, it was still very bright outside, but he was full of energy. He couldn't help but be very satisfied with his body - he had rested so quickly?
Then Pearl also woke up leisurely, but said in surprise: "Is there fire outside the window? Who lit so many torches?"
Only then did Li Tianyao realize that it was getting late and the light outside was from torches! He quickly got up and put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw Xiao Feng, who was also energetic and smiling.
"Brother Li, are you resting well?"
Li Tianyao's heart sank, but there was a smile of surprise on his face: "Brother Xiao has gone and returned, but what happened? It just so happens that Pearl also misses Chang An, so you might as well stay for two more days."
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "It's nothing serious. I just stopped Zhang Captou in the middle of the road who was rushing to do something. I was curious about why he was released from prison so quickly."
Li Tianyao felt a little relieved and said with shame: "This matter is embarrassing to say. There are too few people who can do things, and arresting Zhang Tou is not a serious crime, so I let him go out to do things during the day and come back to jail at night."
Xiao Feng smiled and raised his thumb: "I admire you. Brother Li really has King Wen of Zhou to paint the land."
The legacy of being a prisoner should be passed down as a good story. There's just something I don't understand, so please enlighten me. "
Li Tianyao smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, there's no need to be polite, just give me some advice."
Xiao Feng stared at Li Tianyao and asked calmly: "What was dug out of the path where Boss Han was killed was a vein of gold. Mr. Zhang didn't even tell you about this. He is not loyal to you."
