A bronze statue with a human body in the beast was placed in it, wearing a wide-sleeved robe, with slightly squinted eyes. The beast's head looked a bit like a fox, but it looked more like a mouse when you looked closely.

"What's this?"

Old Xu shook his head slightly, and told him that he had never seen what this was before. County Magistrate Liu quickly took a step forward.

"This is Mr. Huang. Many local female relatives in Mianshui believe in Mr. Huang. There is a Tianhou Temple outside the north gate of Mianshui. There is a side hall where Mr. Huang is worshipped, which can eliminate illnesses. I heard it is quite effective."

County Magistrate Liu was very selfless, after all, there was something he knew and wanted to show off.

However, Old Xu had already reached out and picked up the bronze statue. County Magistrate Liu was stunned and quickly stopped him.

"Oh, this cannot be touched. If you touch the blasphemy, it will be bad for yourself and your family!"

Zhou Ze waved his hand and pushed Liu County Wei away.

"Shut up and stand there!"

County Magistrate Liu shut up instantly and stood at the door honestly and stopped talking.

As the bronze statue was lifted up, a disc-shaped wooden lid appeared below the shrine, with a red rope on the side. Lao Xu threw the bronze statue and pulled the red rope. The wooden lid was lifted, and three dolls sewn with white cloth below appeared.

He took out the doll and handed it to Zhou Ze, but Zhou Ze didn't reach out to pick it up.

One is because he thinks it is dirty, and the other is because he thinks it is disgusting.

The ancients believed in the art of disgusting victory, but in Zhou Ze's eyes, this thing is nothing.

After a closer look, the white cloth doll was filled with needles, and some of them were already rusted. It can be seen that this thing has been around for a long time. There are three names on the doll, Zhang Xiaoen, Zhang Peiyun, and Zhang Peiyu.

"It seems that this Liu Yue'e has no deep affection for the head of the Zhang family. When did Liu Yue'e marry into the Zhang family? Are there any detailed information?"

County Magistrate Liu knew that this was asking him, so he quickly flipped through the notebook and said nervously:

"Liu Yue'e came back with Zhang Xiaoen seven years ago. It is said that she was originally raised outside, but she knew she was an actor. However, the registered account of the yellow book is not a cheap book, and only the Yangzhou people are marked on it."

Zhou Ze nodded and changed his appearance. It was still easy in ancient times, and it was feasible if you had money.

"Okay, continue to read it and go to the room of the eldest son Zhang Peiyun."

After leaving the courtyard, Liu County Magistrate led several people to a small courtyard not far away. It was incomparable to Liu Yue'e's courtyard, and it was even a bit shabby. The eldest son was still a newly married person, which made people feel a little sad. No wonder he had to split up.

Several students were already standing in the yard and bowing to Zhou Ze.

"The students have surveyed and there are a lot of vomit in the new house, but they can't tell who it is. However, there are scratches around the location of the corpse. Obviously, the process of death of the deceased is very painful."

Zhou Ze nodded and smiled at the students.

"The analysis is good. You can continue. Don't miss the details and make the survey records."

Several students were filled with joy on their faces, and they were praised by Zhou Ze. Such words were like injecting chicken blood and bowed to salute.

Zhou Ze did not watch the scene again. Old Xu had pulled out all the Yin woods in front, back and forth, and came back with a handful of copper coins in his hand.

Although some of them are trees that already exist, copper coins are buried under the trees. Obviously, these are carefully arranged.

After getting on the carriage, County Magistrate Liu was still confused and dared not ask Zhou Ze. He could only look at Lao Xu with a smile.

"I wonder where we will go next?"

"Go to the county government office, just go and deal with the corpse. If there is any problem, you will naturally send it over. Aren't all the survivors of the Zhang family waiting to ask questions in the county government office?"

County Magistrate Liu nodded quickly and was so happy that he could get a normal answer.

"That's right, it's all in the county government to ask questions."

There was no nonsense all the way, and the carriage quickly arrived at the county government office.

After a moment, Zhou Ze glanced at him and felt much more relieved.

This Mianshui City is not a little bigger than Hejiang, but this county government is even more broken than the previous Hejiang County Government. The paint stripping of paint, the tiles are removed, and the tiles are removed, which is not much better than the wild temples.

Zhou Ze knew that this was to show integrity, but in fact it was just superficial effort. I didn’t save it by trying to be greedy for repairs.

The few people did not enter the county government gate, but went directly to the Masiyuan outside the prison cell. After all, the layout of all county government agencies is basically the same, and the inside of the Masiyuan is the prison cell gate.

As soon as I came in, I heard noises everywhere. Fortunately, there was no sound of pain or whipping. Zhou Ze was relieved about this. After all, civilized people were too despicable by using such methods.

Chen Wenchi was busy, and when he saw Zhou Ze coming, he quickly got up.

"You are here in Mingfu."

“Is there any progress?”

Chen Wenchi nodded, unfolded a booklet in front of him, and introduced:

"The fifteen survivors of the Zhang family were all asking questions one by one. The difference between the time of the poisoning and their respective reactions and their previous confessions was still very large.

Among the front yard guards, one of the people told me that last year the Zhang family's forest was hit by a rat disaster, destroying many trees. The Zhang family's Alang sent someone to Yibin and bought a lot of letter stone powder and brought it back, mixed it with glutinous rice to make bait to kill rats.

I also sprinkled a lot of these silk powders in the forest. It is said that the effect is good. There are many fewer mice and various insects in the forest. I asked someone to go to the medicine shop to ask about it. These so-called silk powders are not pure arsenic.

So when asked about the whereabouts of these letters, they said that they had been with the guards, and they didn’t know if there were any in the Zhang family’s courtyard.”

Zhou Ze turned around and looked at Lao Xu.

"Let our people send messages, and the people in the Zhang family are responsible for searching the kitchen, bringing back all the seasonings and rouge powder, and search carefully in the yard and room to see if there is any such message stone powder."

Old Xu quickly went to give orders, Chen Wenchi signaled Zhou Ze for a moment, and the two walked to one side.

"It seems that something is wrong with Liu Yue'e, the concubine of the Ming Mansion."

"Tell me carefully."

Chen Wenchi scratched his head, and his face felt a little embarrassed.

"It's just that the testimony is great. After all, in the past two months, her current testimony is exactly the same as before. The rest of the people, about time or other people's situation, have some vague or different aspects, only her testimony is so correct."

Zhou Ze understood what Chen Wenchi meant, which was also what he taught before. The more true the testimony seemed, the more it proved that the person had problems, because ordinary people would not care about the details of those time.

"Where are people?"

Chen Wenchi quickly led the way. Wherever he passed, the cells were interrogating. Several women kept covering their faces and crying. Although they were not ugly, they were definitely ugly than ordinary people, especially their fingers were thicker.

It can be seen that Zhang Xiaoen looked like a corner. A burst of laughter came from a cell. A man grabbed the fence and spitted outside. Zhou Ze hurriedly avoided.

Chen Wenchi wanted to come forward to stop him, but Zhou Ze reached out to stop him and looked up and down at the fool.

Needless to say, he is Zhang Erlang and Zhang Peiyu. His fingers are as thick as those sisters, and his thumb is half a piece of nail size than ordinary people.

Zhou Ze paused. This was a dominant inheritance. The same was true for the ladies of the Zhang family just now. However, Zhang Erlang looked pretty good and looked much more upright than the sisters.

Zhou Ze stared into his eyes and continued to move forward, and came to a cell.

In the cell, there was a woman sitting on the ground. Her clothes were neat and beautiful. She hugged a boy who was very similar to her. The boy was only five or six years old. She glanced at the boy's fingers and Zhou Ze paused.

He frowned and glanced at Chen Wenchi, and Chen Wenchi hurried forward and explained.

“Just asked alone just now.”

Zhou Ze sat down, and the boy was asked by Chen Wenchi to take him out.

Zhou Ze stared at Liu Yue'e for a long time. The woman did not cry, nor did she beg for mercy. She stared at the ground with her eyes down and had no reaction to Zhou Ze entering.

"You used to be Zhang Xiaoen's outdoor room?"

Liu Yue'e paused, raised her head slightly and looked at Zhou Ze, then nodded.

"yes."

"age?"

“Twenty-three.”

"Did Zhang Xiaoen accept you in Yangzhou?"

"yes."

"Where are you singing in Yangzhou? What is the name of the troupe leader? How many years have you been studying? When will you be on stage? How long will you be an outdoor room? When will you go back to Mianshui with Zhang Xiaoen?"
