Chapter 44

From Chen's paper shop, Lin Feng had planned to take Li Luoyang around. Today, he can see that the young man valued by his brother-in-law is actually very embarrassed. If he was not afraid of hurting the self-esteem of scholars, Lin Feng really wanted to ask Li Luoyang whether he needed financial support.

In the Wu and Zhou dynasties, it was a common practice for businessmen to pay to support scholars to study and take exams. Of course, not everyone was willing to accept this kind of subsidy. After all, in this country where human relations are supreme, taking people's money has to eliminate disasters for others. Today's causes will bear fruit tomorrow. How many scholars are willing to deal endlessly with a merchant after being named on the gold list in the future?

However, things are pressing. There are always some scholars who can't even eat enough. They lower their heads in front of reality and choose to "cooperate" with merchants. In a sense, this is also a kind of "financing" or "venture capital". In short, the expenses of scholars will never be too large. It's not a problem for a real powerful merchant to fund more than a dozen scholars at the same time.

The reason why Lin Feng didn't directly mention it to Li Luoyang is entirely because considering the county magistrate's brother-in-law, if he had other arrangements for Li Luoyang, Lin Feng would introduce a merchant. When the two sides compete, Lin Feng will be neither inside nor outside, which is more likely to affect Lin Feng's sister's position in Liu's family and even lead to the crisis of the whole Lin family.

It can be seen that although Lin Feng is not old, he has a smart mind and a good eye. But Lin Feng still couldn't figure out how Li Luoyang guaranteed that he would have money to buy the four treasures of study in two days?

Li Luoyang had his own plan, but before he could implement it, Li Bai found it and took it to the county government.

The second time he entered the county yamen, Li Luoyang had no freshness in his heart. This time, Lord Liu chose to meet Li Luoyang in Piantang. At the same time, there were leaders of three classes and six rooms, including master Ning, whom Li Luoyang had never seen before. They all gathered together and felt like they wanted a joint trial.

"Here comes Luoyang. Look at the table."

Fortunately, county magistrate Liu was smiling, and others nodded to Li Luoyang one after another, all with a pleasant face, which made Li Luoyang feel relaxed. He first saluted county magistrate Liu, then bowed in groups, and finally put half his ass on the bench, which was regarded as sitting down.

It seems that everyone has made up their sleep and filled their stomachs. They have settled the injured yamen servants in obedience. Only then can they have time to ask Li Luoyang for questions.

Whether Zhu Donghe ran away or died, he has now been involved in the Liao family courtyard case many years ago. You can see from the dark circles of master Ning's eyes that he didn't go to look for those old files. So the first person to ask Li Luoyang after greeting is master Ning.

It's not hard to understand that master Ning is still quite famous in the Yamen of Anning county. The county magistrate is the head of the county. There are too many and complicated things to deal with. If you can't deal with everything personally, you naturally need help. At this time, master Ning's profession came into being.

"It is said that Luoyang was born with knowledge. If it is true today, Ning still has some questions about the murder of the master and wife of the Liao family. He wants to ask Luoyang."

"Master Ning, but it doesn't hurt to say."

Master Ning was very satisfied with Li Luoyang's attitude of knowing everything and saying everything. He slowly said, "first of all, how does Luoyang judge that the death of master Liao and his wife was man-made?"

In fact, there is another problem behind this problem, but it is inconvenient to talk about the "Water Ghost murder" in the court. Li Luoyang understood shiye's meaning and said with a faint smile: "the student has only one word - he doesn't speak and is strange and chaotic."

"Luoyang has been enrolled in the county school?"

County Magistrate Liu intervened. Master Ning was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he smiled and nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with Li Luoyang's first answer.

"If you are my Lord, today, with the help of the student guide Mr. Lin, the students have officially enrolled in the book county school to increase students. Thank you for your help."

"Yes, yes, sir, you continue." county magistrate Liu was equally satisfied with Li Luoyang's answer, especially Li Luoyang specifically mentioned Lin Feng, who came from his brother-in-law.

Next, master Ning asked several questions. For example, did Li Luoyang doubt Zhu Donghe in advance? Have you ever guessed what the murder weapon looks like, etc.

Li Luoyang did not confirm that Zhu Donghe must be a murderer in advance. After all, from a normal point of view, Zhu Donghe is too old and an honest fisherman. Li Luoyang suspected Zhu Donghe's son and Zhu Ying's father at the beginning.

This suspicion is not without reason. In ancient and modern storybooks, if the poor family has a beautiful daughter-in-law and a rich landlord next door, it is often the beginning of a tragic story. From the appearance of Zhu Ying's little girl, Li Luoyang infers that her mother's appearance should be good, and if master Liao happens to be a lecherous person, we can imagine the things behind.

As for the way of killing, for Li Luoyang, who has experienced the big ideological explosion in the 21st century, he has seen more incredible ways of killing. Just using long-range weapons to attack is quite clumsy and nothing. There are only two points in the whole case that Li Luoyang has not understood at present.

One is Zhu Donghe's motive to kill master Liao and his wife. If it is possible that master Liao offended Zhu Donghe, what about an old lady? Why did Zhu Donghe kill him? Women in this era, especially those in the big family like the Liao family, basically don't have too much contact with the outside world. In other words, even if the old lady Liao wants to do evil, she doesn't have a chance.

From a suspect case perfectly, except for the special term of passion killing, motivation is often the most important. Only when we find the real motive of a suspect, can we finally make the case perfectly logical and reasonable.

The motive of Zhu Donghe's murder is a doubt that Li Luoyang can't understand, and the other is why Zhu Donghe hid in a small Anning county and became a mere fisherman since he is a Jianghu man?

Just after master Ning asked, everyone also said some opinions. Among them, Zhang Ling specifically mentioned Zhu Donghe's martial arts, which Li Luoyang also paid special attention to.

According to Zhang Ling, Zhu Donghe's martial arts level has no rival in Anning county at least. Anning county can't find a second person who can share equally with Zhu Donghe, whether it's Yamen or folk. However, Zhang Ling's words were not recognized by others. Even county magistrate Liu said that Zhang Ling was too arbitrary. After all, he was hidden in the world. Who knows whether there are other experts hidden in this mu of land in Anning county?

At least the one in charge of splitting four people in black in Lijia village is definitely much better than Zhu Donghe.

Referring to the one in Lijia village, Zhang Ling also knew that he had made a mistake. He quickly turned to Li Bai and began to ask if Li Bai had gained anything. Unfortunately, Li Bai is experienced in his profession, but he is not a Jianghu person or a martial arts master after all. Therefore, it is impossible to judge what kind of martial arts the murderer uses by the injuries on the man in black.

Basically, this is even an informal case analysis meeting. Of course, county magistrate Liu and some petty officials will not focus most of their energy on Zhu Donghe. Next, Zhang Ling, who is the head of the prison, really needs to worry.

However, Zhang Ling always felt that if he wanted to catch Zhu Donghe, he had to pay attention to Li Luoyang.
