Chapter 49

"Yikes"

Deng Si'er grunted a little.

Even if the heinous person is executed, such a scene is still not so pleasant to the person who watches.

Deng Si'er was no exception, he looked away before the knife fell, but the clear 'click' sound still made Deng Si'er uncomfortable for a while.

After the execution, the people left one after another, and only Dou Ba's uncollected body and a pool of black blood remained on the field.

After watching the excitement, the three of them slowly left with the crowd.

"Although this Dou Ba has done all kinds of evil, no one has come to collect his body from a different place, which is really sad." Deng Si'er walked through the feelings.

Zuo Idiot nodded, it is indeed so.

It may be the same for people, no matter how much they dislike a person, but when the person you hate has died, there will still be some sighs.

"Uncle Jing, what do you want? Why don't you say a word? ”

Deng Si'er and Zuo Idiot chatted while walking, but seeing that they had all walked out of the downtown area, Chu Jing still didn't say a word, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing this, Zuo Idiot also turned his head to glance at Chu Jing, and when he saw Chu Jing's frowning and contemplative appearance, he couldn't help but secretly guess.

Leaving the downtown area, there was no longer as many people congested on the street as before, and the whole street was a lot quieter, Chu Jing saw that there was no one passing around the three of them, so he stopped.

"Uncle Jing?" Deng Si'er saw that Chu Jing didn't speak but suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but look at him more suspiciously.

Chu Jing raised his eyes and glanced at Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er, thought about it again and again, and then said:

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

What does that mean?

Deng Si'er suddenly heard Chu Jing's words without a beginning or an end, and froze for a moment, thinking that Chu Jing was saying that the case they investigated was not so simple, so he said:

"Are you talking about investigating cases? Of course, it's not that simple! Mr. Zuo has no clue, and he is blind with both hands, and it is normal for us not to know. What else do I think about you! ”

Zuo Idiot looked at Chu Jing, turned his head to Deng Si'er and said:

"What Uncle Jing said, I'm afraid it's not the case we want to investigate."

"Isn't it?! What's not simple about that? Deng Si'er said strangely.

Chu Jing raised his eyes and looked around, although there were not many people on the street at this time, it was not a matter for the three of them to stand here, so he took Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er to the small alley next to him, and then said seriously:

"I'm talking about Dou Ba, who was beheaded just now."

"Dou Ba?! Death is dead, what else is not simple? Deng Si'er said.

"You may not have noticed just now, the moment before the executioner's knife was cut down, the death row prisoner raised his face, although the man's face was covered with blood, but I can still be sure that that person is definitely not Dou Ba himself!" Chu Jing said.

"What!?" Deng Si'er exclaimed, and even though he was glared at by Zuo Idiot, Deng Si'er immediately suppressed his voice and said to Chu Jing:

"How is this possible? That death row prisoner is not Dou Ba? Whose head was cut off just now? ”

The left idiot was also surprised at first glance, how could a criminal who was unforgivable still be impersonated?

"Could it be that you are mistaken? As far as I know, Dou Ba does not have any personal relations and interests with the government, how could Song Yuqiu protect a villain? Zuo said hesitantly.

Chu Jing looked at Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er's skeptical expressions, shook his head and said affirmatively:

"No, I'm not mistaken."

As he spoke, Chu Jing took out a portrait from his arms and handed it to Deng Si'er and Zuo Idiot to see.

Zuo Idiot took the portrait and unfolded it, Deng Si'er glanced at it, looked up at Chu Jing and said:

"That's right, the portrait of Dou Ba I saw in front of the yamen that day is like this."

Zuo Idiot also looked at Chu Jing even more suspiciously, not quite understanding what this meant.

Chu Jing explained:

"The day before yesterday, I saw a portrait of Dou Ba posted on the bulletin board, Dou Ba is very famous in the rivers and lakes, although he robbed the government money and food and hid, but he is not a brainless person, how could he suddenly be arrested in Tuzhou?"

Chu Jing paused, and then continued:

"So, I ordered someone to check on Dou Ba, and after verification, Dou Ba was indeed arrested by the Tuzhou government, and I also got this portrait of Dou Ba with the same notice posted, but"

"Today's beheading is not the Dou Ba in the portrait." Zuo Idiot took Chu Jing's words and said.

Deng Si'er was a little confused when he heard this, and asked Chu Jing:

"Do you mean that the government arrested Dou Ba and sentenced Dou Ba to death, but it was not the real Dou Ba who was beheaded?"

Chu Jing nodded and said:

"That's right."

"Why?! Zuo idiot said that this Dou Ba has no contact with the government, why did Song Yuqiu keep Dou Ba for? ”

Deng Si'er looked at Chu Jing in surprise, then at Zuo Idiot, and said in his heart, which of you will give him an answer!

"I don't know exactly what the reason is, but what is certain is that Dou Ba must have some special use for Song Yuqiu, so that Song Yuqiu will keep Dou Ba's life." Chu Jing frowned and said.

Zuo Idiot nodded and said:

"What Uncle Jing said should be right, since it is not the real Dou Ba who was beheaded today, it must be replaced by other prisoners who look and shape similar to Dou Ba."

"Why? If Song Yuqiu didn't want to kill Dou Ba, why did he post the notice? As long as he is quiet, who will know that Dou Ba was caught by him? Deng Si'er asked suspiciously.

This problem is still more good to explain to the left idiot, and the left idiot said:

"A bandit like Dou Ba usually doesn't act alone, and Dou Ba is fierce but not brainless, and it won't be easy for the government to catch him. Therefore, if the government wants to catch him, it must use a lot of manpower. ”

"So what?" Deng Si'er still didn't understand.

The left idiot continued:

"Since the government has used a lot of manpower, it will not be an airtight wall. What's more, there may be other people who will witness the whole process of arrest. Therefore, it is not a smart act to conceal the capture of Dou Ba. ”

"I don't want to hide that Dou Ba was arrested, and I don't want to kill the real Dou Ba, what is this Song Yuqiu thinking about?" Deng Si'er's mind was confused, and he muttered.

"This is where Song Yuqiu is smart." Chu Jing said at this time.

"That's smart?" Deng Si'er glared at Chu Jing and snorted.

Chu Jing nodded and said:

"Yes, Dou Ba is a key criminal to be arrested by the imperial court, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, Dou Ba was caught all over the world I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching, and Dou Ba was captured by the Tuzhou Mansion, for Song Yuqiu, it is not only a matter of light on his face, but also for his prestige as an official, and even for his return to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work, it is a good fortune that will be rewarded by the emperor."

"This Song Yuqiu is really an old fox, a thousand-year-old fox." Deng Si'er smacked his tongue and said, this kind of calculation, Deng Si'er really couldn't say anything.

"What about the real Dou Ba? Hidden by Song Yuqiu? Deng Si'er asked again.

Chu Jing raised his eyebrows, but said:

"Who knows? Okay, let's go back to the rest first, and then discuss it. ”

After hearing this, Zuo Idiot nodded, and said to Chu Jing:

"Well, let's go back first."

Deng Si'er glanced at Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing, and said reluctantly:

"Okay."

However, Deng Si'er was still pondering in his heart:

Really Dou Ba, where was Song Yuqiu hidden?
