Although the dress of this servant was not reasonable, it was a matter of the Dong family after all. Now I have to ask her about her situation at that time, not about her dress.

After Li Rizhi came in, he asked, "Are you the first to discover that your master was killed? What were you doing at that time?"

The maid looked a little scared, but Li Rizhi asked nothing particularly strange. She was calm and said, "I was waiting outside the yard at that time. If my master and new wife had any needs, I would be able to go in and serve me in time!"

Li Rizhi said: "Since that's the case, why don't you know that such a big thing happened in the yard? The murderer and the little maid from the You family both entered the yard. Didn't you notice it?"

The maid immediately showed a fear expression. She stuttered for a moment before saying, "I had a stomachache at that time. Because it was the day when the master got married, there were a lot of good things. I ate more, so I went to the toilet. So how did the two people enter the yard? I was not there at that time, so I didn't know that when I returned, things had already happened!"

The maid was very scared. She knelt on the ground and cried out in fear. The master of her family was injured because of her negligence. This matter will definitely be investigated. How could those masters of the Dong family show mercy to her? When the case is settled, it is possible to beat her to death.

After hearing this, Li Rizhi did not ask anything else, but was silent for a long time before saying, "You go out. If someone asks you how the official asked you, just answer truthfully!"

The maid then stood up and trembled out of the door.

Li Rizhi said to Cheng Zizai: "Call another one in!"

Cheng Zizai immediately went out and brought back another person in a moment. This person was an older woman. Li Rizhi also asked her the question she had just asked the maid.

The woman was also waiting outside the yard that night, waiting to serve Dong Chao and You Baochu, but her responsibility was to deliver hot soup, that is, sober soup. Because that night, Dong Chao drank a lot of wine and might have to drink sober soup. For rich families, even if they want to drink sober soup, they have to drink hot soup. So this woman specially delivered hot soup to the door.

The woman was not at the gate of the yard when the incident occurred. According to her, because the sober soup was cold, she went to the kitchen to heat up. After all, if Dong Chao wanted to drink the sober soup, he would not let the master drink it cold.

So she didn't even know how the murderer and the little maid sneaked in in the yard!

Afterwards, Li Rizhi called a few more people in, all of whom were the servants of the Dong family who discovered that Dong Chao was killed that night.

However, these servants came after hearing You Baocuo's screams, and were not the servants on duty at the gate of the courtyard. Therefore, they didn't know what happened in the courtyard before.

Because these people can testify to each other, what they say is extremely credible and can basically be confirmed to be the truth.

After Li Rizhi finished asking, it took another half a day before he asked Cheng Zizai to go out again and called out the servants brought by the You family one by one.

Among these servants were maids and young and strong servants, among which there was a coachman.

There was nothing doubtful about the confessions of these people. They were all very happy that day, and they lived a very happy life when drinking and eating meat.

After all these people asked, Cheng Zizai said, "There is another coachman among the people who came to the Dong family with Shanggui You. However, the coachman was not a servant of the Liu family. He hired him temporarily from outside. The You family had only one coachman, but he had to drive two carriages over at that time, so he hired a person outside. However, this man did not live in the Dong family that night, but drove his carriage to the relatives in the city. Should this person come and ask together?"

Li Rizhi said: "Of course I have to come and ask, is he here now?"

Cheng Zizai said: "It's here. After all, such a big thing happened to the Dong family, and because the car money was not settled for him, he came to ask for the car money the next day. After that, the Dong family members refused to let him go. He stayed here and was waiting outside now!"

Li Rizhi said: "Then tell him to come in!"

Cheng Zizai immediately went out and called the old coachman in.

The hired coachman was an old man in his sixties. After coming in, he kowtowed to Li Rizhi immediately.

This old coachman was very scared. Of course, this incident was a disaster for him. For ordinary people, they may never encounter a lawsuit in their entire lives. For him, being called by an official to question is already a disaster, especially since this incident has nothing to do with him. Don’t mention the injustice and grievances. This is the expression of this old coachman now.

Li Rizhi asked the old coachman: "Where did you live that night?"

The old coachman said, "The villain lives in a relative's house in the city. The housekeeper of the Dong family said there was no room for him to live in. He asked the villain to go out and find a place to live on his own. He also gave the villain a hanging of money. The villain was reluctant to spend money to stay in the hotel, so he went to the relative's house. The housekeeper also gave the villain a lot of wine and food, so the villain brought the wine and food to the relative's house. When the villain came to ask for the car yesterday, he realized that something had happened to the Dong family, but this matter really had nothing to do with the villain. The villain could swear to the sky. If it had something to do with the villain, the villain would rather be beaten by the sky and would not die well!"

Li Rizhi waved his hand and said, "You just need to explain the matter clearly, there is no need to curse yourself!"

This old coachman seems to have no problem. After all, he is a man in his sixties. It is not realistic to let him run into the Dong family to commit crimes and have the leisure to commit suicide injustice!

Li Rizhi waved his hand and asked him to leave, but Li Rizhi also told the old coachman not to let him leave the Yanzhou territory. If necessary, he should be as he wished.

The coachman left and felt relieved when he looked.

After asking these servants, I actually did not get any valuable information.

It was not until this time that Li Rizhi said: "Now you can call the little maid from the You family in!"

After calling the little maid in, Li Rizhi looked at the little maid silently, without saying a word, scaring the little maid so much that she even cried out.

At this time, Li Rizhicai said, "I have asked many people just now, you know, right?"

The little maid nodded quickly. It had been a long time since she had passed, and the servants of the two families were coming and going, and she was not sure what she knew.

Li Rizhi said: "I have read your confession. What you said is very different from the people I asked just now. It is impossible for them to lie, so you must be the one who lies. Now I will give you a chance. Think about it carefully, what is the whole thing like. After thinking about it, say it again. Remember that I will only give you one chance. If you don't tell the truth, then, even if you are not the real murderer, you will be considered an accomplice. Okay, think about it now, and then talk about it after thinking about it!"

The Wang Juesi and the clerk in the room looked at each other and thought to themselves: "Those people didn't say how this little maid is like. Could it be that County Magistrate Li is cheating on this little maid? But this little maid cannot be the murderer, and it doesn't seem to be an accomplice!"

However, just when the two of them thought that Li Rizhi wanted to cheat this little maid was meaningless, they saw that the little girl was trembling all over and couldn't even kneel down. They could only lie on the ground and burst into tears!

Li Rizhi didn't ask questions, and waited for the little maid to cry almost. Then he said, "I'm thinking about it almost, so let's talk!"

The little maid said, "I did tell a lie, but I was so scared at that time, so I was talking nonsense. I didn't mean to harm Mr. Wen, because I was so scared at that time!"

Wang Juesi and the clerk were all shocked when they heard this. They never expected that the little maid's confession at that time was nonsense!

But it was right to think about it. At that time, the little maid said that she saw Wen Dengke, but in fact, Wen Dengke did not commit the crime. Then she must have been lying at that time, and that confession must be fake!
