Scholars unparalleled

"The yamen issued a notice saying that anyone who can help solve the case will be rewarded with two taels of silver!"

Two taels?

Lu Chensheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he got up quickly, "Help my uncle get dressed, let's go get the money!"

Hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately regained her spirits, and hurriedly helped Lu Chensheng get dressed, brought hot water, and helped her uncle wash up, and the two hurried out the door.

After a while, the two arrived in front of the yamen, and after explaining their intentions, the yamen servants brought them both in.

"It's the two of you who say they can find the murderer?"

The county magistrate looked at the two people in front of him, frowning, and his tone was somewhat suspicious.

He probably didn't quite believe it, but Lu Chensheng could find the murderer.

"Is it okay, my lord will let me try it, and you will know?"

The county magistrate heard the words and thought, yes.

This case gave him a lot of headaches. Originally, he wanted to settle the case directly, but this was the killing of his wife.

It's just that the certification was issued later, and many people followed suit, and he didn't dare to directly settle the case.

It's just that the delay of the case would do great damage to his dignity, so he came up with such a way.

"So, how do you solve the case?"

Lu Chensheng cupped his hands when he heard the words, "My lord, please find all the carpenters who make birthday materials in the city."

The county magistrate frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine Lu Chensheng was selling, but he waved his hand and asked the yamen servant to find everyone.

After a while, a dozen or so people were found.

Lu Chensheng was not polite when he saw it, and asked directly, "During the days when Mrs. Liu died, was there any family that held the funeral? Who wanted a coffin?"

The carpenters looked at each other, thought for a while, and one of the old men said, "There is a family, a member of the Ding family, who asked for a coffin, saying that the maid in the family died of illness.

Strange to say, this person died, but the coffin was very light on the day of the funeral. "

The old carpenter had some memories of this matter, so he replied directly.

Lu Chensheng immediately understood, knowing that what he thought was right.

"My lord, please send someone to examine the corpse in this coffin immediately, and arrest this member of staff. If your lord investigates this person's house more, I think there will be more gains."

The county magistrate frowned, and after thinking about it, he did as he did.

A moment later, members of the Ding family were arrested and taken into the yamen, and to everyone's surprise, the Liu family was also brought back.

"W-what's the matter?"

At this moment, even the county magistrate above was dumbfounded, watching this scene with a little confusion in his mind.

And then, the government servant who went to open the coffin also ran back, saying that there was only one head in the coffin!

Hearing this, Xiaoyu couldn't help tightening her body slightly beside Lu Chensheng, and grabbed the corner of Lu Chensheng's clothes.

"What exactly is going on?"

The county magistrate couldn't help but speak. Logically speaking, isn't the Liu family already dead?

Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard the words, "It's very simple. Mrs. Liu didn't die at all. The one who wanted to die was actually the maid in Yuanwai Ding's family. The two of them just did some tricks."

Ding Yuanwai's face was also a little pale at the moment, and he explained everything he had done tremblingly.

It turned out that he had an affair with Liu Shi, and then gradually fell in love with each other, and after thinking about it, he killed one of his maids and replaced Liu Shi with her body.

When he saw his wife died for the first time, the husband didn't check it much, he just thought it was his wife, and then hurriedly reported it to the police.

After that, everyone thought that he had actually killed his wife.

As for the remaining head, he directly took a coffin and pulled it out to bury it, so no one would know about it.

This was a clever plan that Ding Yuanwai had thought of, but he did not expect that Lu Chensheng would see through it.

Hearing this, the county magistrate's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Chensheng on the side in disbelief.

The other party only heard about the case, how could it be solved so quickly?

Lu Chensheng didn't pay attention to so much, just stretched out his hand, "My lord, where is the money?"

The magistrate's mouth twitched, "Give him a tael of silver."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to tell Lu Chensheng to leave quickly.

Lu Chensheng frowned, this was two taels of silver that was agreed upon, how did it become one tael?

The master at the side was startled when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward and whispered, "My lord, although this scholar looks a little unfamiliar, but the maid next to him is from the White House, this money..."

The county magistrate frowned upon hearing this, people from the Baifu?That can't be messed with.

"I made a mistake in my memory, it's two taels of silver."

This time the tone was much more polite, and the yamen servant at the side immediately took two liang of silver and sent it to Xiaoyu.

Seeing the two taels of silver in his hand, Xiaoyu smiled happily, not to mention how happy she was.

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng also smiled slightly, and led Xiaoyu to turn around and leave. As for how the other party will judge the member next, it is not his business.

After leaving the yamen, Xiaoyu's face was still flushed, "Young master is amazing! How did you know the murderer?"

"You have to think about everything carefully. Why did the head of the deceased disappear? The most likely reason why someone took a head away was that they didn't want people to recognize the original face of the deceased.

Why do you want to do this, think about it carefully, and then consider where the head went. For normal people, it is impossible to bury it in your own yard. Send it out of the city for investigation. The only safer way is to use The coffin has arrived. "

The ancients were quite taboo. Naturally, it is impossible to sell this kind of thing in one's own yard or something, and bury it in someone else's place, and it is easy to be discovered by others.

But it would be much simpler and safer if it was transported out in a coffin.

With such reasoning, this matter is much simpler.

Xiaoyu was dumbfounded when she heard this, and finally took a look at her son-in-law, "Then son-in-law, I heard that my son-in-law wanted to escape from marriage before, so why was he arrested for being so smart?"

The corner of Lu Chensheng's mouth twitched, suddenly feeling very piercing.

Yes, being so smart was tricked.

At this moment, Lu Chensheng can basically conclude that the previous Li Junfang was definitely plotting against him.

However, Lu Chensheng was fooled.

Chapter 235 Fighting for High and Low

Lu Chensheng didn't want to talk to Xiaoyu any more, and if he couldn't speak, he didn't speak, it was a bit too heartbreaking.

With two taels of silver in hand, Lu Chensheng gained confidence.

He took Xiaoyu to the street to buy some ingredients, and then found a peach tree sapling seller and bought a peach tree.

Holding the peach sapling in hand, Lu Chensheng was inexplicably happy, and led Xiaoyu back to the White Mansion in a hurry.

He took a hoe, planted the peach tree seedlings gently, and filled up the soil.

After the peach tree seedlings were planted, Lu Chensheng sat in a small pavilion beside him and watched the time all afternoon.

Xiaoyu secretly felt that it was very strange, and she didn't know what happened to her young master.

In the evening, seeing the fireworks rising from a distance, Lu Chensheng couldn't bear it any longer, and walked towards the back kitchen.

After getting closer, I realized that the busy person in the back kitchen was also Xiaoyu.

Lu Chensheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that the White House probably didn't have enough money to support so many people, so the back kitchen was all done by this little jade bag.

Xiaoyu also saw Lu Chensheng, and immediately ran out extremely disturbed.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Lu Chensheng looked in the kitchen, "My uncle is here to teach you a few tricks, so that the food you make can be as delicious as the beggar's chicken that day."

Xiaoyu was startled when she heard the words, and wanted to refuse at first, but when she thought of the beggar chicken that her uncle made that day, she hesitated to agree.

"There's no oil here? No cinnamon, no pepper..."

After Lu Chensheng entered the kitchen, he looked around and felt that there were too few seasonings in the kitchen.

Xiaoyu was a little dazed, because she didn't know what her uncle was talking about.

Lu Chensheng looked at it, and asked Xiaoyu to take a piece of fat and boil some oil out. Stir-frying things with lard is still very fragrant.

When the hot oil was put into the pot, the aroma wafting from the iron pot immediately caused Xiaoyu to take a deep breath.

Lu Chensheng was pointing at the side, while Xiaoyu was doing it clumsily.

After more than half an hour, several dishes were finally out of the pan.

After Lu Chensheng asked Xiaoyu to sit down together, Xiaoyu sat down quickly.

The small mouth was filled with all kinds of vegetables in no time, and he almost didn't choke.

Lu Chensheng watched and shook his head, he still ate very slowly.

Compared with the ones I ate before, Xiaoyu's heat is still a little worse.

Lu Chensheng didn't eat very fast, but Xiaoyu was like wind and clouds. When he realized that he had eaten almost all the dishes, his little face turned red all of a sudden.

"Uncle..."

Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, but Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "It's okay, I will make more after I like it."

Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, thinking that she must do more in the future.

The weather was gradually getting hotter, and Lu Chensheng felt a little regretful.

It's a pity that it is no longer in Taohuawu, otherwise you can swim in front of the door.

...

Snapped!

One word fell, and more than half of Heizi was eaten.

Under the big banyan tree, two old men were playing chess, while Lu Chensheng sat watching from the sidelines.

The situation on the chess game is that white pieces have priority now, and the situation of black pieces is not good.

Seeing this, the old man with sunspots frowned, and also noticed that his situation was extremely bad.

After holding the hand for a while, Wei Ran sighed, "I lost, your chess skills have improved a lot recently."

The plain-clothed old man on the opposite side laughed when he heard this, "It's not easy to beat you once."

The old man in gray shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't say much.

But at this moment, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Chensheng who was on the side, "Young man, you have been here for several days, and you should know some chess skills, let's make a move?"

Lu Chensheng shook his head when he heard the words, "I understand a little bit, but I'm not good at chess, so I won't make a fool of myself."

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Their chess skills are naturally extremely powerful after being honed for so long.

Lu Chensheng is so young, it is normal to say that his chess skills are not so good, but they are quite satisfied with Lu Chensheng's honesty.

"It's normal to not be proficient in chess, but you can still improve by communicating with others."

The old man surnamed Yu glanced at Lu Chensheng, stroked his beard and said something.

The old man surnamed Fan on the side heard the words and nodded in response, "Yes, don't be discouraged if you are not good at chess. You need extra people to communicate with each other. With your heart, it is really not easy to come to watch for so many days."

Lu Chensheng nodded and said yes, but he still didn't go to play against the opponent.

Seeing this, the two old men said a lot. Lu Chensheng was so unwilling, and they naturally wouldn't force it. They just thought that Lu Chensheng was really ugly in chess, so that they didn't want to go forward to play chess.

However, this child's heart is still very good, he can watch seriously, and has been silent all the time, just being a spectator.

When playing chess, sometimes there is an extra spectator, which will also make the chess player feel a little more confidant, after all, he has a good sense of Lu Chensheng.

When the two made another move, Xiaoyu hurried to find her, and when she saw her uncle, her face relaxed slightly.

"Grandpa, it's time to go home for dinner."

Lu Chensheng nodded when he heard the words, "You two, Xiaosheng will leave first."

With that said, Lu Chensheng cupped his hands at the two of them.

Both of them nodded and smiled at Lu Chensheng.
