Li Ming's hair was a little messy and his clothes were dirty and wrinkled. He looked similar to the prisoner next to him, but he didn't have the despair or decadence of the other prisoners.

On the contrary, it feels a bit like a noble gentleman's comfort and leisure.

When the jailer saw Li Ming like this, he couldn't help but frown. He felt a little unhappy. He patted the pillar hard and shouted: "Li Ming, someone saw you coming."

Hearing the shout, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes and climbed up from the straw.

Then, when he saw Chu Zheng, he couldn't help but smile.

He stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chu, you are laughing at the fact that I am so embarrassed now."

"Nothing." Chu Zheng smiled and said, "In my eyes, Brother Li's style is still the same."

What he said was not a compliment, but it was true.

Although Li Ming's clothes were ragged and his hair was disheveled, his temperament was the same as outside.

"You guys chat, I have something else to do. Brother Chu, if you want to go out later, just tell the jailers here. They saw you coming in." Xu Rong smiled when he saw Chu Zheng meeting an acquaintance of Li Ming.

Laughed and said.

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Chu Zheng nodded towards Xu Rong.

Then, Xu Rong turned around and walked outside.

"Brother Chu, would you like to open the door?" the jailer next to him asked with a smile.

"Then I'll trouble this big brother." Chu Zheng nodded to the jailer.

Then he paused, took out a dime of silver from his arms, handed it to the jailer, and said, "I wonder if eldest brother can help me buy some good food outside."

Seeing the silver in Chu Zheng's hand, the jailer was stunned and said quickly: "A few meals can't cost so much."

"I'll give you the extra. I hope you can take more care of my brother in the future." Chu Zheng smiled at the jailer and said.

After hearing his words, the jailer's face looked slightly strange.

It's not like he never accepted bribes, but he rarely accepted such silky bribes.

Moreover, this kind of bribe was given by a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old.

It actually surprised him a little.

"Okay. I'll buy you some food right now." The jailer opened the door and said with a smile.

Then, he walked outside.

Chu Zheng walked into the cell door, looked at Li Ming, and said apologetically: "I have encountered some things in recent days, so I didn't know that something happened to you. It's too late now. I hope Brother Li won't blame you."

"There's nothing to blame. I actually cost you some money." Li Ming shook his head and smiled.

"It's not a big deal." Chu Zheng shook his head, then paused and said, "I came here this time because Capt. Xu asked me to help him handle this case."

Hearing his words, Li Ming smiled bitterly and said: "What details can I tell you? I don't know why I got unlucky. First, Zhang Shan broke a few banana trees. Then he came to me because his child had a cold."

, I gave him a banana leaf out of sympathy. Who knew he would get into this kind of thing."

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Zhengdao: "Brother Chu, I don't know what you think of this matter. Do you think I killed someone?"

His eyes were clear, and Chu Zheng did not see any negative emotions in the other person's eyes.

"Others say that I am very stable at a young age. Now it seems that my friend is even more stable than me." Chu Zheng sighed in his heart.

Then, he shook his head and said: "I trust you. As a person, how could you do such a thing just for a little quarrel? I am here now because I want to know the reason for this matter from you."

"Brother Chu, if you have anything to ask, just ask. I will tell you everything I know." Li Ming said.

"I want to know, Brother Li, have you ever offended anyone in this Qamdo Mansion?" Chu Zheng sat on the haystack and asked.

Hearing his words, Li Ming quickly shook his head, "I have been here in Qamdo Prefecture for a while. Since coming here, I have been kind to others and have lived in seclusion. I will not offend anyone at all."

He paused and then said: "If I am offended, it should be Zhang Shan. He broke my banana tree at my house, and I scolded him."

Having said this, he shook his head and said, "However, I don't think Zhang Shan would harm his wife and children just because of such a trivial matter. So it shouldn't be him."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng did not comment, but continued to ask: "Do you have any coveted property in your home?"

"I don't have much property." Li Ming waved his hand and said, "At most, the sword is worth some money. But I only keep that sword at home and never show it to anyone."

Hearing what Li Ming said, Chu Zheng frowned.

If someone is trying to harm Li Ming and set up this trap, then what the other person wants is either revenge or money.

Both of these were denied by Li Ming.

At this time, Chu Zheng suddenly thought of something, looked at Li Ming, and asked: "Did you encounter anything unusual before the incident?"

Hearing his words, Li Ming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said: "You reminded me of something. Half a month before the incident, I cleaned the pond at my house.

At that time, I dug out several strange stones. I didn't close the door at that time. A man passed by and wanted to buy the stone for one or two silver coins. I ignored him and threw the stone into the pond. Later, I looked through the classics.

, that should be Kunshi."

"Kunshi?" Chu Zheng had a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Chu, you can be forgiven for not knowing. This kind of stone is mainly produced in Kunshan. Each one is worth about a hundred taels." Li Ming said.

Chu Zheng nodded. He finally knew what was going on with the mud under the plantains, and he believed what the other party said.

He looked at Li Ming and asked, "Then do you remember who was looking for you that day?"

"I don't remember clearly." Li Ming shook his head and said.

Chu Zheng nodded, "I will take this matter seriously. If there is any progress, I will tell my brother."

"Thank you so much, Brother Chu." Li Ming thanked him.

"This is as it should be. Brother Li is also very helpful to me." Chu Zheng said with a smile.

At this moment, the jailer came over from outside and said with a smile: "You two gentlemen, here comes the chicken soup."
