Chapter 390 Catch the murderer
Liuzi was speechless for a moment. He recalled carefully, "There is no witness."
"This is a little hard to explain!" Jiang Youzhen sighed and shook his head, "Either the others did not leave the house, or there were witnesses. But you didn't, so you are the most suspicious! Now it is suspected that your master was poisoned. If you can't point out any witnesses, then you are the murderer."
Jiang Youzhen suddenly spoke in a harsh tone, his eyes were like arrows, and Liuzi was frightened.
"It's not me, no, I really don't!" Liuzi shook his head, his body shaking with panic.
"You said you didn't, but now you are the most suspicious." Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly.
The manager hesitated to speak. Didn't they find the silver? Why didn't they take it out for confrontation?
"I really didn't do that! Sir, you have to believe me!"
Liuzi started to cry, "Master, then you can ask Wang Dalai to confront me. He brought me here, and he can testify for me that I did not leave the house."
Jiang Youzhen turned to the steward and said, "Bring Wang Da here!"
"Yes!" At this moment Jiang Youzhen had become the backbone of the Qian family, and the servants listened to him without hesitation.
Wang Da arrived very quickly. He was strong and walked briskly. He bowed as soon as he arrived and seemed to be very well behaved.
"Liuzi said he asked you to buy a roast chicken yesterday. Is that true?" Jiang Youzhen asked directly.
Wang Da immediately shook his head in confusion, "My lord, no! The master didn't let me harness the carriage yesterday, and I was in the mansion the whole day."
"Oh! So Liuzi was lying and he didn't ask you to buy the roast chicken at all?"
Jiang Youzhen carefully observed Wang Da's expression while speaking, but he remained calm from beginning to end.
"no!"
"You are lying, Wang Da, why did you lie? Yesterday was my birthday, and I thought of buying a roast chicken to reward myself, just as if it were my birthday.
I bought the roast chicken and planned to drink with you in the evening, but I looked all over the house and you were not there. So I only ate half of it and planned to save the other half for you to come back and eat together.
Liuzi pointed at Wang in anger, his face full of disbelief.
"Why are you framing me? It was you who brought me the roast chicken, but you said it wasn't yours. What's your purpose?"
Liuzi was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He turned to look at the steward and said, "Steward Liu, you have watched me grow up. How could I possibly murder you? If you hadn't bought me out of pity, I would have been beaten to death by that man-trafficker. I am so grateful to you, how could I possibly murder you?"
Manager Liu was speechless. It was true that he had watched Liuzi grow up, but now Liuzi was suspicious and he felt that he could not explain it clearly.
How to explain the money bag? Liuzi only had 100 coins a month, how could he have more than 50 taels of silver?
If someone wanted to murder the master and tempted him with money, how many people could resist the temptation?
"Sixth son, what happened? Why don't you tell the truth? It was you who sneaked out of the house yesterday and bought a roast chicken. How could it be that I bought the roast chicken?
I knew it was your birthday, so I wanted to have a drink with you. I even asked the chef to cook two dishes for you. But I looked for you for a long time in the evening, but you were not there, so I went back to sleep.
Wang Da bowed to Jiang Youzhen and said, "Sir, you can ask the chef in the kitchen about this matter. I asked him to help cook two more dishes and gave him ten coins as a reward!"
Manager Liu just felt dizzy. Did the person's absence from the mansion have anything to do with the poison?
One of the two must be lying, but it is impossible to tell who is lying. Why is he lying? Is it because he went out of the house to buy poison yesterday and therefore dares not admit it?
Manager Liu was completely confused. He looked at Jiang Youzhen to see what she was going to do.
"Then call the cook to confront him!"
As more and more people were involved, Manager Liu no longer knew what Jiang Youzhen's intention was.
The cook was brought in soon, and what he said was the same as Wang Da's.
Liuzi opened his eyes wide, "Impossible! I'm really not a villain! I really didn't leave the house yesterday."
He suddenly knelt on the ground, "Master Jiang, please believe me! I am really not a villain."
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen had a blank expression on his face, he crawled to Manager Liu's feet again.
"Manager Liu, you watched me grow up, I really would not do anything to murder the master! Please believe me, I really didn't do it."
Manager Liu sighed heavily, "Sixth son, you said you didn't leave the house, but now Wang Dahe and the chef have testified that you did leave the house yesterday. Why did you hide it?"
"The murder of the teacher must have been planned for a long time. At this critical moment, it was just to prevent me from becoming his disciple. It is impossible for the poison to be in his possession before. Among those who left the palace in the past two days, you are the most suspicious."
Manager Liu suddenly understood, but he had new doubts.
"But if that's the case, then the old woman who went out to buy things could also be the reason!"
"Of course it's because I cheated!" Jiang Youzhen sneered.
"If he is not guilty, why is he unwilling to admit it? So many people have left the house, it is difficult to check. And he just used a little trick and he felt guilty."
Liu Zi shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't leave the house. I really didn't leave the house."
Manager Liu kicked Liu Zi and said, "I didn't expect you to do such a thing. The master treated you well, didn't he? He fed you and clothed you. If the master hadn't saved you, you would have been beaten to death by the gangsters. I didn't expect you to repay kindness with hatred and murder the master!"
Manager Liu was filled with righteous indignation and was very angry.
"Wang Da, hurry up, tie up Liuzi and take him to the authorities immediately."
"No, I really didn't." Liuzi was panicked and struggled backwards.
He suddenly pushed down the two people in front of him, turned around and started to run.
"Don't catch me, I don't want to die." Liuzi has gone crazy.
But how could he possibly outrun the strong cook and Wang Da? The two of them quickly restrained the man, got a rope, and tied him up.
"Lock him up first and assign someone to guard him. I will make plans after I ask Master's wife."
Manager Liu nodded, slapped Liuzi twice in the face, and then had Liuzi locked up.
"You two should go out first! Don't spread this matter to anyone else. If it gets out, you two will be the only ones to be held accountable."
Jiang Youzhen gave the two of them a warning look, then suddenly pointed at the ground and asked, "Whose purse fell?"
Wang Da and the cook immediately lowered their heads to look, and Wang Da immediately bent down and stretched out his hand, but he suddenly stopped the next moment.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up.
"Chef, is this your purse?"
The chef shook his head. He saw that the money bag was gray and flat, and it was obvious that there was not much money in it. "No!"
"Sir, it's not ours." General Wang handed over the purse.
Jiang Youzhen took it and smiled at him.
"Maybe it belongs to someone else, then ask again."
Jiang Youzhen watched Wang Da and the others leave, and said to Manager Liu who was about to leave, "Keep a close eye, especially Wang Da."
