Lan Jue laughed.

Unexpectedly, such words would be said to Zhang Ping. Seeing him sitting with his eyes hanging down, Lan Jue remembered Lan Hui who could not recite the poem.

Lan Jue said kindly: "When the head of the department first entered the officialdom, he had such an idea because he was not used to it. Even today, he still often reflects on himself. However, his style of conduct is different, and he will still think about whether it is better to do this than to do that, let alone others come to see him? As long as he does not violate the laws of nature and does things well, it is right."

Zhang Ping was still staring at the ground: "That year, the student's hometown was hit by a disaster, and his parents were killed in the epidemic. Master knew that Taoist Zhi adopted students and many orphans with the same conditions as the students. The master could not spend money on the food and money in Guanli, so he told fortunes for others."

The first time Lan Jue heard him talk about his life experience in detail, he suddenly said that although he was a little confused, Lan Jue was still moved and said, "Oh."

Zhang Ping continued: "Only someone can come if you have to calculate it correctly."

Lan Jue said: "I know that many things are actually based on observing words and expressions. Is this the reason why you like to investigate cases?"

Zhang Ping looked up at Lan Jue and nodded.

"Master is very good at observing people. When he first met a life, his origins could be derived from seven or eight out of ten. Students learned from their master since childhood. After remembering and walking, they often walked around the city, inquire about various matters and help with business."

Nanchi County is very small, with neighbors and neighbors from door to door. It is easy to know if there is any movement in the house.

"Fortune-telling not only has to tell the things that have already happened, but also has to tell the things that have not happened yet, so that people can believe it. People have rules for daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation. If there are clues, it is not difficult to introduce what will happen in the near future."

Lan Jue smiled and said, "It seems that your master and apprentice's business reputation is good."

Zhang Ping nodded again.

When he was a child, he also thought about whether this was called fraud. Master said that some people calculate the current and future things, and we can find out the truth, but what we are talking about is true, how can we call fraud? But you have to check it carefully. If you say it wrong, we will become liars.

Zhang Ping thought it made sense, so he worked harder to inquire everywhere.

"The first murder case that students come into contact with was when they were helping their master tell fortunes. The key person in the case was a woman from Nan Street. She was named Shuniang, and she was also very nice to the students."

Lan Jue asked: "How old were you at that time?"

Zhang Ping said: "Ten years old." Look at Lan Jue again.

Lan Jue said: "Oh, it's okay. The headquarters just thinks that you were very sensible and very responsible at that time."

Zhang Ping lowered his eyelids: "The adults are over-reputable. The students were just walking around at that time."

Shuniang has been married for many years and has never had any children. She works as a cow and horse at home. She sleeps at the third and gets up at the fifth, and serves the whole family. Her parents-in-law and husband often beat her and scold her, and beat her to the point of being blasted and injured. She cannot take medicine when she is sick. Fortunately, Shuniang's mother-in-law does not stop her from burning incense and fortune telling, and often brings her over to figure out whether she can't lay eggs. There are many people in Nanchi County who cannot see a disease or do not want to tell fortunes when she is sick. Knowing that Taoist Master knows some medical skills, he often takes pills, faces, and other things, saying it is talisman powder and water to treat Shuniang.

"Shu Niang often gives children candy like students, and students often walk around the street where Shu Niang's house is living, knowing that the guys in the corner shop are very nice to Shu Niang."

Unfortunately, Shuniang is married, and that guy is very poor. Shuniang is afraid of causing trouble and being beaten again, so she deliberately avoids him.

"Later, the student discovered that a foreign businessman, Lai, often had a relationship with Shuniang's husband Li Da, and went to a newly opened gambling house. Lai was obviously one of the owners of the gambling house and deliberately pulled people to gamble. About a month or two, Li Da suddenly disappeared."

Lan Jue said: "If you go to the gambling trap, those who go to the gambling team will lose all their money. Could it be that you hide and hide from gambling debts?"

Zhang Ping nodded: "Yes. But Shuniang's parents-in-law came to court and said that his wife had an affair with someone and had plotted to murder his husband."

The noodle shop guy had long seen the affection for Shuniang. The businessman Lai had been in and out of Shuniang's house all day long, but he could not escape the suspicion of adulterers.

Shuniang was caught in the yamen and was about to be blamed and scolded.

"The student knew that Shuniang's husband had bought new boots before he disappeared. Shuniang also said that she had helped her husband make up for the leather jacket a few days ago. She also went to the master's stall to calculate whether the north was auspicious. She obviously planned to go to the north."

Master Zhizhi told the people in the county government that he had a divination that Shuniang's husband was in the north.

"One day, someone found Li Da's body in the dry well in the woods in the north of the city. The body grabbed a spike in his hand, which was on the jade pendant that the merchant Lai often wore."

Lan Jue said: "It seems that the one who killed someone..."

Zhang Ping said: "Well, it's the pawnshop owner."

Lan Jue choked for a moment, thought quietly, and then said, "Shuniang's husband stole the merchant's jade pendant and wanted to change the travel expenses, but he broke up with the pawnshop owner? But at first glance, others would think that the merchant had killed someone."

Zhang Ping nodded again.

At that time, the magistrate concluded that it was the businessman Lai who failed to collect debts from Li Da and killed him. Li Da's parents insisted that when Lai entered and left their home, he often had sex with Shuniang and became a gangster with Shuniang.

Lai argued that his jade pendant had long been lost, and this jade pendant was very expensive. If he wanted to chase someone and kill someone, he would definitely not wear it on his body.

The coroner of the county government also raised objections. Lai was very tall and if he stabbed Li Da to death, the wounds in the knife should not be like this. However, the magistrate felt that the jade pendant was a direct evidence. The one who stabbed Li Da to death was a bent dagger used by the Hu people. Lai was a merchant who was stuffed from the edge, so there was such a knife, which was another evidence. It was difficult for Lai to escape the relationship. When Lai stabbed Li Da to death, it was possible that he bent over or stole the horse.

"The student happened to find out that a pawn shop had a different behavior in those days. He asked the student to help him run errands and gave him a few pennies of rewards."

The accountant is accustomed to tampering with the account books, but the boss is very good at checking the accounts. In those days, the boss's eyes suddenly became bad, which made him make a lot of money. He couldn't help but become generous and even said at the table.

In addition to the merchants coming from the frontier, the pawnshop owner also had Hu Dao. The footprints at the scene of the murder were the same size as the footprints of the pawnshop owner.

Master Zhizhi said that he wanted to do a ritual of salvation for Li Da. He helped a spirit and wrote a few words on the sand table. The pawnshop owner revealed his flaws, and later the people from the yamen found a jade pendant at the pawnshop owner's house.

"But Shuniang is dead."

She committed suicide in prison.

Li Da's parents later offered sacrifices to others. They were afraid that the merchants surnamed Lai would pursue their son's gambling debts, so they lied that their son was killed and suggested that their daughter-in-law had committed adultery with Lai, who often came to the house, so that their son could run away without worries.

However, the neighbors' aunties and ladies revealed that the guy in the noodle shop had a good impression of Shuniang.

After discovering that Li Da was killed, Li Da's parents thought that his wife had killed his son. In order to convict Lai, they bit Shuniang more and more crazily and stole Shuniang and murdered her husband.

Shuniang couldn't stand the torture and was afraid of implicating the young man, so she hanged herself in prison.

Lan Jue said: "This woman is very pitiful, but you were still a child at that time. You can finally catch the real murderer with your master and restore her reputation behind her. This is also a merit."

Zhang Ping shook his head: "There are many wrong things. In fact, the evidence was insufficient at that time, and the real murderer could not be convicted. The practice of using the spirit writing was also a deception. If the boss had not been a very evil person, he would have been angry for a moment when he accidentally killed Li Da. In addition, Shuniang died innocently, he felt guilty and was afraid that he would not have been able to defraud him, but instead alarmed the snake. The murderer did not reveal his flaws or took the opportunity to slip away, then this case would become a unsolved or unjust case."

Lan Jue was silent for a moment. In fact, he thought to himself that Zhang Ping was already like this coffin board. If Feng Tai's style was still absorbed, he would probably turn into a black iron board of the old pit of Shang and Zhou dynasties, and no one could stand within one meter.

Now that he heard Zhang Ping's words, he suddenly felt that no matter what, Zhang Ping really wanted to make progress.

He said, "You were just a child at that time, and Ling Shi was just a Taoist priest. Regardless of whether the details were correct or not, they caught a murderer, solved a case, and restored the reputation of a woman. If you are asked to solve this case now, the department believes that the method must be different. Since you have to listen to Lord Feng's teachings, then maybe, don't think about it anymore. Only the facts are true. Think about the past and reflect on yourself, and be more cautious in the future."

Zhang Ping looked up at Lan Jue again: "Student, thank you for your teachings."

Lan Jue looked at the light in Zhang Ping's eyes and smiled slightly. No wonder many people are good at teaching a young man. He really feels a different kind of pleasure when he sees his humbly listening.

A small yamen runner suddenly appeared under the corridor not far away. He looked behind the corridor column and Zhang Ping immediately stood up: "Sir..."

Lan Jue nodded: "Go over quickly."

Zhang Ping bowed, hurried to the corridor, followed the little yamen runners around the corner, and several constables called by Feng Tai stood in the open space with Liu Zhubu.

Several people saluted Zhang Ping, and Liu Zhubu first brought out a booklet: "Report to the roster of boys sent to Cishou Temple for years, the official has found it."
