Old Master Wang, leaning on his cane, knocked several times.

"Sir, if you want to arrest someone, you have to produce evidence. Although my Wang family only has land, we are not just any family."

Qu Yuanxun frowned, holding up the human skin mask in his hand, and holding a piece of clothing she found in the room.

"These things in my hand were all found in your house. These two are the attire worn by the murderer of the Wenzhu River murder case tonight.

The murderer can freely enter and exit the Wang family courtyard, so he must be a member of the Wang family. And all the evidence I have found is related to this maid. "

Old Master Wang pulled Si Daiyun to his side, his eyes full of desire to possess Si Daiyun.

He was seventy years old when he met such an interesting woman who would prepare different herbs for him so that he could travel among the flowers in spring.

Such a wonderful person, if I leave her, I will go back to the days of seeing but not being able to eat. This must not happen.

"Sir, you can't talk about murderers casually. This maidservant lives in my house. She is gentle and well-behaved. How could she be a murderer? Sir, you must have solid evidence."

Qu Yuanxun does not have any direct evidence pointing to Si Daiyun now, but Si Daiyun's actions tonight are all temporary reactions as if the murderer has escaped.

"Si Daiyun is a major suspect. Today, the murderer was smeared with a kind of spice, and the county yamen's dogs chased him all the way to the Wang family's yard.

Since this piece of clothing was found in Wang's house, it is impossible for the murderer to disappear out of thin air, so he did it to wash away the smell.

So Si Daiyun jumped into the pool and hid the human skin mask for disguise under the cracks in the rocks of the pool.

All these suspicious points indicate that she is the murderer I am looking for. Naturally, I must bring her to the county government office for questioning."

Old Master Wang laughed and said respectfully to Qu Yuanxun.

"Sir, what you said are just speculations. You can't arrest people based on your speculations. You are a fair and just county magistrate.

Besides, this girl of mine has always been honest and has never done anything wrong. If you don't have direct evidence pointing to her, you probably can't just take my people away."

Wang Fugui also nodded and said, "Sir, I told you, she fell into the pool accidentally. I saw it with my own eyes and can testify for her."

Wang Fugui knew very well why Si Daiyun was wet. This girl liked to play more than him.

The Wang family is quite prestigious in Wenzhu County and is one of the local landlords. If the Wang family does not let go, it will be difficult for Qu Yuanxun to take the maid away by force.

He really felt helpless as if the murderer was right in front of him and he couldn't do anything about her.

Now he can only continue to look for more powerful evidence to bring the murderer to justice.

This operation was not in vain, as it allowed him to identify the suspect and the Wang family.

Qu Yuanxun ordered people from the county government to surround the Wang family compound. No one was allowed to enter or leave without the official summons. This time, he surrounded it like an iron barrel.

Young women from the Wang family often disappear. Although everyone knows what happens, it is fate.

They accepted the fact that their lives fell into the hands of their masters, and they were not afraid of the murderers named by the government.

You'll die anyway, no matter who kills you, the outcome will be the same.

However, Wang Youyue and Wang Fugui's wife Wang Juan were very scared and couldn't help but look at Si Daiyun.

Recently, two of Old Master Wang's concubines died, as did one of Wang Fugui's concubines and a maid. This attracted the government to investigate.

If the murderer is right next to them, will they be the next to be killed?

Although Wang Youyue was the sister-in-law who got married and came back, Old Master Wang said that after his death, he would leave her a portion of the family business for her to make a living.

So in this family, when the old man speaks, she is the one who cannot refute him.

Although Wang Juan was also very scared, the fear of losing her son actually neutralized her emotions and was not entirely a bad thing.

Late at night, when everyone had left, Si Daiyun also returned to her room. She got a bucket of cold water and prepared to take a good bath.

She brought the hair hanging behind her to the front, brushed off the mud on it with her hand, and brought the hair close to her nose to smell it.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled. The mud covered up the smell. It was a quick and good way to escape.

Just as she entered the bathtub, a person quietly came in through the door. This person was sitting across the screen of her bathtub, and the sound of swallowing saliva was in the tone of his voice.

"Master Wang, I am your father's maid. It's not right for you to come in and out of my room as you please."

Wang Fugui laughed playfully: "It doesn't matter who it belongs to, what matters is where your heart is.

Yunyun, the county government will soon find out that the Wenzhu River incident is caused by someone from our family, and now the Wang family has been surrounded.

You promised me that you would deal with that old man, and I can't wait any longer."

A month has passed. Si Daiyun had agreed to cooperate with him to get rid of Old Master Wang, but now looking at Old Master Wang again.

He looks more energetic every day and doesn't look like a man in his seventies at all.

"Don't worry, Master Wang. Everyone has their moment of glory. Now the palace is surrounded by government officials. I think holding a funeral for the old man will help break the deadlock."

Wang Fugui smiled crookedly, and even his eyes became bright. He walked behind the screen and took Si Daiyun out of the bathtub.

"Yunyun, it seems I was right about you. All that's in your little head is my secret plan.

It would be best if the funeral could start tomorrow. I don’t think Qu Yuanxun, a county magistrate, would refuse to let me hold my father’s funeral.”

Si Daiyun put his arms around Wang Fugui's neck and smiled brightly and forbearingly.

"Of course. Master can use the funeral as an excuse to go out and get the family property into his own hands. Then the young lady won't be able to get a penny out of it."

"Hahaha……"

Wang Fugui grinned smugly. He really liked people like Si Daiyun who understood him.

Because of this case, Qu Yuanxun could not sleep day and night, and asked someone to bring a few servants from the Wang family to identify the body.

"Look carefully, do you recognize these people?"

The eyes of several constables were swollen and they had not slept, and they were all very restless.

As soon as the maids and servants came in, they were vomited by the smell in the coroner's room. When they saw the corpses that were all a little rotten, they were so scared that they huddled together.

"Sir, I don't know..."

Several people simply didn't dare to look until the constable pulled them over and got closer.

"Let me take a good look at you. What are you afraid of? The dead won't crawl out to eat you. Look."

Also, there were a few servants among the group who were quite brave. After taking a look, they immediately spoke.

"This is Mr. Wang's concubine, as well as the master's concubine and maidservant!"

Qu Yuanxun asked someone to bring out a few maids and servants, and he took them to another place for questioning.
