Tell me how it all went. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

The man nodded, and then said with a solemn face: "Ten years ago, when the old city lord was killed, the soldiers waiting outside the house took Su Jingsheng down on the spot and put him on death row. At the same time, another team of people went straight to Su Jingsheng's house, but when they arrived at Su Jingsheng's house, the whole family was there, but Su Jingsheng's son, who was less than three years old at the time, was missing. ”

"The one who is missing is Su He, right?"

"Yes. The man nodded and said, "However, no matter what kind of interrogation was made after that, no one confessed the whereabouts of the three-year-old son, until the entire Su family was sent to the vegetable market to be beheaded for public display, and the City Lord's Mansion still didn't know where Su He was." ”

Dongfang Shuo stared: "In this way, Su He should have been taken away by someone in advance." ”

All the evidence points to this possibility. ”

"Who was the person who took Su He away?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

But the person in front of him shook his head after all, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Dongfang, I really can't do anything about this." ”

"After all, it was also ten years ago, and the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion took people away before they arrived, so naturally you have to hide it from people, if you can't find it, it has nothing to do with your ability. At this point, Dongfang Shuo paused for a moment, and then continued to ask, "So, when did Su He appear in front of the world again?"

It was the spring of the second year after the incident, when someone found Su He, who was nearly four years old at the time, in the west of the city, and then more and more people saw it, and the people in the city found that Su He was living with the old beggar. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, he seemed to think of something, and said: "So that means that the mysterious person who secretly took Su He away sent him to the old beggar after that? However, the old beggar was originally a person of unknown origin, and it may also be possible that the person who took Su He away was the old beggar." ”

"Anything is possible, but there is not enough evidence to support it. ”

The man still had a grim face.

And Dongfang Shuo sighed lightly and said, "Then what about after that, how did that old beggar die?"

"Old beggar...... He died of illness last winter, because of the poor harvest last year, many people in the city were frugal, and the old beggar suffered from the cold and had no money to heal, and he was hungry and cold, so he died. ”

After receiving such an answer, Dongfang Shuo's gaze couldn't help but sink downward.

A man of unknown origin died so unexplained.

If you look at it simply, he is just an ordinary wanderer, after coming to Yuewei City, he became a beggar, because of his kindness, he took Su He away by chance, or took in Su He sent by others, and finally failed to survive the winter of last year because of his own poverty.

Looking at it this way, he seems to be very ordinary.

But if you want to dig deeper, this person is also a very special existence.

Where did he come from, who he was, and why did he come to the city, this is a question of origin. Why did he want to break with Su He, and how did he get in touch with Su He, and the most important question is how the past ten years have passed.

Dongfang Shuo opened his mouth and asked: "Since Su He's existence has been discovered, why didn't the City Lord's Mansion send someone to arrest him, even if it was a year and a half late, the City Lord's Mansion should have no reason to spare him, right?"

Indeed, if it is sympathy and pity, such a reason is too naïve.

Indeed, the facts are in front of us. "In the course of my investigation, I heard two very different rumors about this matter. First, even if the City Lord's Mansion knew about it, he turned a blind eye, and simply let Su He go, and most of the people who insulted and contemptuous Su He were people who believed this rumor. The second is that the City Lord's Mansion did send people, but there was no follow-up, and then the matter was over, and this statement itself was full of errors and omissions, so the number of people who believed in it was extremely limited. ”

Listening to two completely different rumors, Dongfang Shuo fell into a short period of contemplation.

Then, he looked up at the man in front of him.

He asked, "If it were you, which one would your first reaction be?"

"If it's the first reaction, then I'll definitely believe the first, because the first, although naïve, is also more credible than the second. At this point, the man paused for a moment, and then added, "But if I think about it a little, I will choose to believe the second option." ”

"Because the first one is too naïve, isn't it?"

"Yes. The man said, "The first way to say this is to completely treat the City Lord's Mansion as an existence equivalent to a human being, but anyone who has some independent thinking will understand that a City Lord's Mansion cannot and cannot make decisions from the perspective of mercy. Therefore, the first kind of rumor that seems logical is the real error. ”

Hearing him say this, the corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked.

Then, Dongfang Shuo said: "So, who do you think blocked the soldiers and horses sent out by the City Lord's Mansion?"

The man shook his head.

Seeing him shake his head, Dongfang Shuo could only sigh.

He doesn't have the means to investigate like them, so he can only use the information he gets to carry out brainstorming that fills in the gaps, but to put it bluntly, it's just brain supplementation and obscenity.

And at this time, the door of the courtyard opened again.

The one who came back this time was the one who went out to buy vegetables and meat.

"What about that person, what about that person, what did he do when you sent him out?" Seeing that the person who went out together came back, Dongfang Shuo asked in front of him.

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes.

Looking at his eyes, his tone didn't look like he was pretending, so that meant that the guy didn't tell the two people about it.

"He's gone to the Imperial City. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

He knew that the orders of the third person could not be airtight, so he had no intention of concealing them from the beginning.

If you want to use them, trust them. The so-called employment is not suspicious, this is the truth.

Telling them where the third person went is intended to tell them their trust in them, and as long as they know the destination of the third person, they may be able to know what the third person is going to do, but the reason why Dongfang Shuo didn't say it directly also gave this sentence a second meaning, that is, these two people don't have to ask or think about it, and it would be better if they didn't say much.

"Lord Dongfang, when I was shopping for groceries, I couldn't find out what a mask was, so I checked another thing by the way. At this time, the man who came back from shopping for vegetables walked to the edge of Dongfang Shuo and said
