Chapter 830 Is the Murderer Xu Hanwen? (Subscribe)
What a joke!
How could the stolen treasury silver still be circulating in the market?
The magistrate of Qiantang County thought that he must have misheard, or that Li Gongfu had said something wrong.
In short, it sounded like a joke.
He sneered, "Li Gongfu, is what you said true?"
Li Gongfu in the hall did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, and respectfully handed the silver he received to the magistrate, "Sir, look, this is the stolen treasury silver, which was also found by the constable on the street by chance."
The magistrate: "..."
He took the treasury silver suspiciously, and the mark on it was clear, and it was obviously the treasury silver in the Qiantang County treasury before.
It was the official silver to be handed in.
Suddenly, the magistrate asked with a stern face, "Li Gongfu, didn't you tell this government yesterday that the theft of the treasury silver was a joint act of ghosts and demons?
Then tell me now, why did this ingot of treasury silver appear on the market and was found by you by chance?
There is no such coincidence in the world!"
Anyway, he didn't believe it.
Which of your words is true? Are you, Li Gongfu, involved in this matter?
For a moment, the Qiantang County Magistrate could not help but doubt.
"This..."
He was a little confused by the magistrate's words, "Sir, I don't know about this either. I have asked the brothers in the yamen to check the source of the circulation of the treasury silver."
"Well." The magistrate nodded slightly and continued, "You are right about this matter. Find out the source first. I don't believe that we can't find the source. Once we find out who leaked it, we can naturally catch the murderer by following the clues!"
As for the saying that ghosts and demons stole it, he didn't believe it now. Maybe it was just Li Gongfu's excuse to evade responsibility yesterday.
Hum!
This Li Gongfu.
Let's talk about it after the case is solved.
Now let's get the silver thing cleared up first, otherwise he won't be able to report to the higher-ups.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate continued, "Li Gongfu, you go and check the source of the outflow of silver from the treasury, and make sure to find out the truth about it."
Li Gongfu nodded, "Yes, sir, please rest assured. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and guarantee that I will catch the murderer and satisfy you."
County magistrate: "Well..."
He left with his hands behind his back.
Li Gongfu looked a little embarrassed. After seeing that the county magistrate had left, he left on his own.
Yes.
Since the county magistrate ignored him, he should go and investigate the case.
Maybe he can catch the murderer. "I guess what the guy surnamed Jiang said is not right. The combination of ghosts and monsters is all fake."
Han Wen lied to himself.
What kind of hermit master is Jiang Que? He is clearly a swindler. Only a simple person like his brother-in-law Xu Xian would be deceived.
He was before.
Well.
It's probably an exception.
After all, he might have been anxious at the time, so he believed it for some reason.
Now.
He should go and investigate the case.
It would be a good thing for him to find out the source of the outflow of treasury silver as soon as possible. How to solve it at that time is the county magistrate's own business.
It has nothing to do with him.
However, it seems that it is not as easy as imagined to find out the source of the outflow of treasury silver.
When Li Gongfu rushed over, a group of detectives still did not find out clearly, mainly because it was not easy to find out.
Because it had changed hands several times.
And when they found out, it was already evening.
But at this time, Li Gongfu's heart was not calm, and it could even be described as extremely complicated.
Because the source they found was very special, so special that Li Gongfu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and his face was ugly.
Somewhat incredible.
——Xu Xian.
The first person to take out the silver was his brother-in-law Xu Xian, the brother-in-law who discussed with him yesterday to solve the case.
That Xu Hanwen!
He...he was the first person to use the treasury silver.
But
You know, the silver in the treasury was stolen. Doesn't this mean that Xu Xian, Li Gongfu's brother-in-law, has an inseparable relationship with the theft of the silver in the treasury this time?
Whether he is the murderer or not, this incident is inseparable from Xu Xian.
Li Gongfu has even thought of the consequences. It is certain that the county magistrate knows about this matter, so no matter if there is someone behind Xu Xian, he will be punished.
"At that time..."
Li Gongfu was a little stunned and uncomfortable when he thought of this.
Xu Xian is his brother-in-law after all.
He is his relative after all.
But now that it is related to the theft of silver in the treasury, the result will be different.
It also makes him a little entangled.
Even if Li Gongfu wants to solve this matter privately, it is not possible. The matter has long been spread on the street, and it is estimated that it has now reached the ears of the county magistrate.
He wanted to plead for Xu Xian, but when he thought of the angry expression of the county magistrate, he felt his scalp tingling.
A burst of discomfort.
How could it involve my brother-in-law? This...
He suddenly felt angry.
Xu Xian obviously knew about the theft of the treasury silver, and he also went to the Jiang Mansion with him yesterday.
"No, it can't be Han Wen, he shouldn't lie to me. From his expression yesterday, he may really not know, but the county magistrate and others may not believe it."
Li Gongfu felt a headache and felt uncomfortable.
If he sent Xu Xian to the execution hall, Xu Jiaorong at home might not know how to make trouble with him.
And.
Will this matter make the county magistrate suspect him, Li Gongfu? This is also a very troublesome matter.
Very depressed.
That night, Li Gongfu did not go to Xu Xian. He was thinking about how to reduce Xu Xian's guilt.
The next day.
Qiantang County Government Office.
"What?" The county magistrate looked at Li Gongfu in surprise, "You said that the source of the outflow of the treasury silver was Xu Xian? Is it your brother-in-law?"
"Yes."
Li Gongfu nodded helplessly, looking dejected, "Sir, I don't know what happened to this matter. The result of the investigation yesterday was like this. It's really... It's really unbelievable.
I believe you also know that my brother-in-law Xu Xian is just an ordinary person, a weak scholar.
He doesn't think it's a big deal to steal small things at ordinary times. This time, he was definitely wronged in the case of theft of treasury silver. Please be careful."
County magistrate: "..."
Be careful?
How can he be careful!
Haha!
He said coldly, "Why, do you think Xu Xian is wronged? But the silver in the treasury did come from him, how do you explain this?"
"This..."
Li Gongfu was a little confused, he really didn't know.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer the question from the county magistrate. Xu Xian did not have a criminal record before.
But what if.
Maybe it's hopeless.
"Come on, go and arrest Xu Xian to this government for interrogation. The silver came from him. We will know if he is the murderer behind the scenes." The county magistrate said coldly.
His expression became serious.
No matter whether this matter has anything to do with Xu Xian, Xu Xian will be in trouble. It is a serious crime to touch the silver in the treasury.
"Sir, this matter..."
Li Gongfu wanted to continue to say something, but was interrupted by the county magistrate, "Okay, don't say anything more about this matter. The right and wrong, this government will naturally make a fair judgment."
Li Gongfu: "Uh..."
The county magistrate said so, what else can he do, he can only retreat in shame.
Xu Xian is the murderer who stole the treasury silver?
I believe whatever he says.
