Walk on the road.
Zhou Dagu was really curious and asked, "Where did you steal the token from?"
"What do you mean by stealing! This is a real guy!" Zhu Xiaowu took out the token and dangled it in his hand: "You don't know, but my nephew likes to do carpentry work since he was a child!"
"Carpentry is a delicate job, and he always starts with small objects. Before I left the capital, I got a few pieces of good lightning strike wood and asked him to carve a few tokens for me. This one is to order the world to catch the leader."
"The emperor carved it himself, and he sealed a few traces of the Great Victory Dragon Qi in the token. It is naturally the real thing!"
After he explained this, Zhou Dagu became even more curious: "What are the things carved in the other tokens?"
Zhu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows: "You will have another chance to know later!"
"You two, wait for us!" A strong man shouted from behind them.
Zhou Dagu turned around and saw two big men running.
Zhu Jinwen followed Niu Ruxian. Niu Ruxian was a martial artist who was not tired after running for two steps. What was tiring was that he was dragging a brother weighing more than 200 kilograms behind him.
Niu Ruxian was slightly embarrassed and bowed his hands to Zhou Dagu: "Zhou Mingzhou, are you going to solve the case?"
"Zhao Sihu wrote down my name before he died, and this shit basin was placed on my head. I must find a way to clear myself of suspicion, otherwise I will bear the name of a murderer, and I am afraid that someone will do it again in the next exam. Use this opportunity to stop me outside the examination room!"
"Zhou Mingzhou, I wonder if I can go with you to have a look. You don't know that I have been interested in solving crimes since I was a child. I want to see your ability to make the dead speak. It's not that we don't trust you. I definitely believe you. I just want to gain some knowledge!”
"Let's go together!" Zhou Dagu didn't mind.
A few scholars chatted and laughed and arrived at the door of Zhao Sihu's house. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw white sails hanging high and someone crying loudly in the courtyard.
Zhu Jinwen sighed: "Zhao Sihu used to be a student from a poor military family. I heard that he was later admitted to the imperial examination. There happened to be a vacancy in the county below. He did not choose to further his studies and get the imperial examination, so he asked someone to fill the vacancy!"
"Fifth brother, do you know who he is entrusting?"
Zhou Dagu spoke first: "It can't be Professor Han!"
"Zhou Mingzhou is really smart. Professor Han has been a professor in the government school for so many years. He is very friendly to the students below. He is also willing to help students if they have anything. He is cheerful and unlike the old academics in other classes, so we dare to talk to him on weekdays. What a joke!”
Zhou Dagu nodded and stepped into Zhao Sihu's mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, the waiter standing at the door to greet him opened his mouth wide and said, "Madam, Taijun, Zhou... Zhou Dagu is here!"
Zhou Dagu frowned and felt bad.
Judging from the clues discovered before Zhao Sihu's death, it is difficult for the Zhao family not to associate Zhao Sihu's death with themselves, not to mention that Zhao Sihu had publicly made trouble for himself in the government school.
It also gave me a motive to commit the crime.
"Damn Zhou Dagu, you killed my husband and yet you dared to come to my house and guard me on both sides. I have raised you for many days. Today is the time for you to repay your kindness!"
Daying officials often hired knights who were tired of traveling around the world to serve as nursing homes. These knights had moral principles in their hearts and regarded themselves as generous people of Yan and Zhao.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman shouted, and many nursing staff stood up and stood in front of Zhou Dagu.
The leader of the group had an overwhelming aura, and he turned out to be a master of the fourth rank and the first realm.
Niu Ruxian felt the aura on his body, and he also felt the fighting spirit unconsciously. He stood in front of Zhou Dagu: "Strong man, if you want to take action, I will accompany you!"
"Zhou Mingzhou came here today not to cause trouble, but to find the truth behind your master's death. Let him in!"
The guard's eyes were bright and his thick eyebrows were lively. At first glance, he was not the kind of person who showed off his martial arts: "Before the master died, I was the first one to go in. I only saw a piece of paper in the master's hand. A note with Zhou Dagu’s name!”
"Even if Zhou Mingzhou didn't do this, it still has something to do with your men!"
"I heard that Zhou Mingzhou also has a guard. Although he is not a high-level person, he is born with divine power. When such a person kills someone, he can do it with only the strength of his body. There is no need to release Qi and blood at all!"
"I don't know, can Zhou Mingzhou call your guards to come and have a confrontation?"
Zhou Dagu stood in front of Niu Ruxian: "First, the person you mentioned does exist, but he is not my guard, he is my brother, his name is Xu Dian!"
"Secondly, this matter has nothing to do with me. Even if I don't like your master again, I will not kill him openly!"
"The most important thing is that you don't understand who I am!"
The head of the nursing home snorted coldly: "Zhou Mingzhou, you are trying to use the false reputation spread by outsiders to clear yourself of suspicion!"
"No! If I did this, I would do it even more cleanly, so cleanly that you wouldn't think it has anything to do with me!"
Zhu Xiaowu looked at Zhou Dagu with a hint of admiration. He was so brave to be so arrogant in other people's courtyards.
"Hmph! Regardless of whether you did it or not, it has nothing to do with you. I have sent my subordinates to report to the official and asked the judge to escort you to the prison to speak. You are not welcome in our Zhao family now. Please get out!"
A middle-aged woman in brocade clothes walked out of the small courtyard. She was wearing plain clothes. Her face was fair and smooth, with some wrinkles on her face. But against the backdrop of her white clothes, she looked strangely beautiful.
There was hatred in her eyes, and when she looked at Zhou Dagu, she didn't even hide it.
Zhou Dagu raised his hands and said, "This must be Mrs. Zhao. I understand your feelings. The government officials did go to invite me, but I didn't go with them!"
"You didn't go to the government office, but instead came to my Zhao mansion. Do you want to take advantage of the fact that there is no one in my Zhao family to bully the orphans and widows of my family?"
"I understand that it is difficult for me to tell you the whole story clearly, and I also understand that relying on the idiots in the government office will not only not clear my grievances, but may even make me more guilty! I am here just to... Give yourself justice and give justice to your Zhao family!"
"The government arrester is in the backyard study. He can't even figure it out. How did you figure it out!"
There are three squads of police officers in the government office, and there are also three squads of government officials.
The head catcher here should belong to the fast class. His duty is to investigate cases and arrest people.
Zhou Dagu knew in his mind that the head catcher who just went to the government office to pick him up should belong to Zao Ban. Unfortunately, he happened to know the relationship between Zao Ban and Lu Tongpan.
Could it be that this matter has anything to do with Lu Tongpan?
Zhou Dagu shook his head. He overturned the conclusion in his heart. Lu Tongpian had countless ways to kill Zhao Sihu, and assassination and framing the blame were the stupidest ones.
He is a sensible person and would definitely not do such a thing.
So who is blaming himself?
Just look it up and find out!
"Mrs. Zhao, since the headhunter is in the backyard, you don't have to be afraid. I'm just here to find out the case. I want to find out what's going on more than you do!"
"You should rest assured when I come to Zhao's house. If it were really my fault, your house guard would definitely chop off my head in repayment. This would save you from worrying that I would find someone to blame and not be able to comfort Zhao Sihu. The spirit in heaven!”
"So, you have no reason not to let me in!"
Mrs. Zhao lost her mind for a while.
An old and powerful voice came from the backyard: "Let him in! I want to see what kind of justice you can give me!"
