Suddenly there was a noise outside the crowd, and someone shouted: "Guo Shilang of the Criminal Department is here, which one dares to gather a crowd here to make trouble?" As soon as the words fell, Guo Chengsi wore a bright red official uniform and walked in with more than a dozen guards.

The gang that was originally blocking the door and clamoring was shocked, and they all quietly avoided the side, and no one dared to touch his moldy head.

Although the Criminal Department is in charge of the world's criminal names, it actually doesn't care about such things as gathering people on the streets to make trouble. can't stop Guo Chenghe's reputation now! As the younger brother of the queen's mother, the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, he was originally illustrious.

Since he joined the Criminal Department, he has become even more iron-faced and selfless. Whether it is a dignitary or a reckless person, as long as it is committed in his hands, it will definitely be dealt with impartially. So in just a few months, he has successfully won the extremely glorious title of "Chang'an Ghost Sorrow". For this reason, Zhu Xian also made a special order to commend him.

Entering the courtyard, Guo Chengsi saw that many people were still holding wooden sticks, masonry, knives and guns and other weapons in their hands. He sank his face and said coldly: "In broad daylight, you scoundrels are here with murder weapons in hand, gathering people to make trouble. Do you want to taste the prison food in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? The men were so drunk by him that they hurriedly threw their weapons on the ground. I'm afraid that if I take a step too slow, I will really be dragged by him to eat the cell.

But Zhang Gongzi, who was originally frightened, saw him as if he had seen a savior. He dragged his injured leg, crawled over and dragged the hem of Guo Chenghe's robe, and cried with tears on his face: "Lord Shizi, help me." I don't want to be gouged out. He threw all the festivals between himself and Guo Chengsi into the clouds.

Guo Chengsi looked down on a villain like him, so he pulled back the hem of his official uniform with some disgust, and casually ordered the guards around him: "Go find a doctor for him." ”

"No need to go out and look for it. The little one is the doctor. A somewhat flattering voice rang out behind the crowd. Zhong Ziyuan stood on tiptoe behind the crowd and waved her arms in an effort to let Guo Chengsi see her.

"Why is he there?" Guo Chengsi slapped his forehead helplessly, and instructed the guard, "Go and bring him over." ”

"Yes." The guard strode over, like an eagle catching a chicken, snatching Zhong Ziyuan and Cardamom out of the crowd and bringing them to Guo Chengsi.

Guo Chengsi tried not to look at her little face with an unusually bright smile, and ordered: "Let's help him deal with his wounds first!" ”

"Yes. My lord. Zhong Ziyuan agreed loudly. Immediately opened the medicine box that he had brought with him. It turned out that it was full of large and small silver horns and silver ingots. It was estimated that there were at least two or three hundred taels, but there was not even a medicine bottle, and a row of black lines immediately appeared on her forehead.

didn't wait for Guo Chengsi to see it clearly, she snapped. I closed the lid of the medicine box again. Then he smiled at Guo Chengsi, who had a headache, and said, "The medicine has fallen inside." Wait! ”

Cardamom didn't wait for her to command, and immediately cleverly went back to find the medicine bottle that had been thrown out. Guo Chengsi glanced at her obliquely, and said meaningfully: "It's really a lot of money!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan's eyes were shining, and she said very doggedly: "It's okay, it's okay, why don't I invite adults to have supper tonight?" ”

Guo Chengsi's face stiffened, and he immediately closed his mouth. He had enough of Zhong Ziyuan's stalking this month, and he didn't dare to answer her words at all. Fortunately, Zhong Ziyuan is also considerate, and he is now handling official business. So obediently did not say any more. She took a few steps back and stood behind Guo Chengsi, just waiting for Cardamom to retrieve things like medicine bottles and cotton cloth. so that this unlucky Zhang Gongzi can treat his wounds.

As the head snake in Chang'an City, Pu Lao Er naturally knows Guo Chenghe. Because his reputation is there, Pu Lao Er is not worried that he will be partial. Seeing that Guo Chengsi finished explaining to the young doctor, he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Please check clearly, it's not that the villains want to make trouble." Instead, someone shot first and injured our gangsters, and also grabbed our helmsman. ”

Guo Chengsi put his gaze back on him, frowned slightly, and said, "But this official has received a secret report, saying that the real murderer who killed your old helmsman five years ago will appear here tonight." The official will bring someone to arrest him. Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed, his eyes looked around the yard in danger, and said in a dark voice: "Say, which of you is the murderer who killed the old helmsman?" The people he swept away all shrank their necks and bowed their heads. I'm afraid that if I accidentally provoke this ghost, I will be recognized as the mysterious murderer.

Pu Laoer's eyes suddenly widened. He was originally an orphan, but the old helmsman not only adopted him, but also taught him kung fu, so his feelings for the old helmsman have always been very deep. But in the past five years, no matter how much he tried to investigate openly and secretly, he did not find the slightest clue about the murderer, and the murderer seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world. Even the boss, his wife and his buddies who might have known the clues were killed by the angry gang, which made him even more unable to find out. This matter has always been like an appendage of bones, entrenched in his heart, making him uneasy every day.

Listening to Guo Chengsi's words, he clenched his fists, and began to scan the crowd with his eyes staring at the cow. If Guo Chengsi identified someone, he would pounce on the posture of tearing people apart.

Zhu Fei chuckled, his eyes almost bent into crescent moons. He beckoned happily and said in a loud voice: "Lord Guo, what this son is stepping on is the murderer who killed the old helmsman back then. ”

"What?" Pu Laoer's bull's eyes were about to pop out. He looked at Master Sun Helm, who was stepped on by Zhu Fei and his face was flushed, and shook his head categorically: "Impossible, Lord Sun Helm can't be a murderer." When the old helmsman died, he gambled and drank with several brothers, and he did not have time to kill the old helmsman. ”

"Really?" Zhu Fei was not angry, he tilted his head and said with some distress: "It turns out that Master Sun Duo was gambling and drinking with his brothers at that time!" So, may I ask the second master, are those brothers still there? Ben Shizi has a few questions to ask them. ”

"A few of them." Pu Lao Er frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Five of them encountered water bandits when they escorted a cargo ship to Cangzhou last year. Later, the bottom of the ship was hollowed out. The entire ship was flooded, and no one on board survived. and when Brother Pei drank flower wine the year before last, he was jealous of others. Someone killed him. As for Brother Zhang, his house caught fire two days ago, and his entire family was burned to death. Hey! At this, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.

"Did the second boss also find out that something was wrong?" Zhu Fei's feet moved, he felt that he was a little tired to maintain this movement, so he frowned slightly. Xue Ji immediately stepped forward and said softly, "If the prince is tired." Just rest for a while, I'll do it here! After speaking, she stepped on Lord Sun Helm's face without hesitation. It was like crushing ants under his feet, and he was crushed twice.

Zhu Fei was very satisfied with Xue Ji's thoughtfulness, he withdrew his foot and paced a few steps slowly. walked up to Pu Lao Er, who was full of anger. said: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry first, you just think about the death of those brothers, is there an accident?" ”

Pu Lao Er originally felt extremely angry when he saw him let a concubine humiliate Lord Sun Helm like this. But listening to the meaning of Zhu Fei's words, he actually identified Master Sun as the murderer of the old helmsman, so he had to restrain his thoughts and think about it carefully.

Next to him was a middle-aged man in gray linen clothes with a face full of vicissitudes. said with a solemn face: "It's strange, it's really strange." We haven't made a thousand trips to the waterways around Cangzhou. At least 800 trips. The largest bandit leader in that area, Hei Jiao, has a very good relationship with our old helmsman. The cargo ships that fly the flag of our Cao Gang have to pay some tolls, and they can go there safely and soundly. was robbed on the ground in Cangzhou, and the methods were so vicious, it was really unprecedented. Pu Lao Er couldn't help but nod again and again when he heard this.

Another young gang shouted: "Second master, my brother-in-law also died unjustly!" Pu Lao Er looked back and recognized him as the brother-in-law of the Pei brothers who was hacked to death in order to be jealous. Pu Laoer's brows gradually twisted, and he said in a deep voice: "You say." ”

The young man took a deep breath and said loudly, "Although my brother-in-law has a habit of drinking flower wine, he never hides it from my sister. But in those days, my sister had just conceived a child. The doctor also said that nine times out of ten it is a male fetus, but she is old, so the fetus is a little unstable, and she has to boil and drink fetal medicine every day, and she can't leave anyone. At that time, my brother-in-law was crazy with joy, for fear that the child in my sister's womb would have an accident. So I personally grabbed the medicine every day, boiled the medicine, and guarded my sister to drink it. When he went out that day, he also said that he was going back to the ship to unload the cargo and would be back soon. In the end, why did it become to drink flower wine again, and to compete with others and be jealous? My sister still can't believe it. ”

Listening to the young man's words, Pu Laoer's brows became more and more wrinkled. Zhu Fei knew that Pu Lao Er could sit firmly in the second position of the Cao Gang Chang'an Rudder, and his mind would definitely not be as rough as it appeared on the outside. Once he planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, he would definitely slowly blossom and bear fruit.

Pu Lao Er really began to doubt in his heart, he didn't suspect Sun Duo Master back then, but there were so many brothers who testified for him together, and Pu Lao Er quickly removed him from the suspicion list. But the brothers who testified for him back then are now all dead without flaws due to various accidents. This incident itself is already a biggest flaw.

Thinking of this, he hugged his fists at Guo Chengsi, who was silent and just listened attentively, and said: "When it comes to asking and investigating cases, an adult is a middle master, and a villain wants to hear what adults mean." ”

Guo Chengsi showed his white dangling teeth, and said with a smile: "This official will never listen to only one side of the story, and after the plaintiff has finished narrating, it should be the defendant who has begun to narrate." ”

"This" Pu Lao Er looked at Sun Duo who was trampled under the feet of Xue Ji in embarrassment, with a sad and indignant face, his cheeks were full of sole prints, and even his neck was flushed.

Zhu Fei sneered and said casually, "Xue Ji, let him speak." ”

"Yes." Yukihime finally moved her foot away. She stretched out her slender hand with some disgust, pinched Sun Helm's jaw, pulled it hard and sent it up. I heard the sound of "pop", and I actually picked it up. Then she did the same, and attached his two drooping arms. Then he shook his hand and walked back to Zhu Fei's side.

Seeing that this female evil star finally walked away, a few people who had a good relationship with Sun Duo on weekdays came over to help him.

Lord Sun Helm got up from the ground with difficulty, and first glanced at Zhu Fei resentfully. Then with a thud, he spat out a mouthful of bloody spit. He hoarsely raised his voice and began to shout: "Second Pu, our brother for so many years, don't you still know my character?" The old helmsman has always been kind to me, how could I kill him? Besides, the old helmsman's martial arts are world-famous, can I kill him with my three-legged cat's kung fu? You have to think clearly, don't fall for the gangsters' plan to sow discord. ”

"I don't know your character." A gleam flashed in Pu Laoer's eyes, and he said unceremoniously: "Cunning as a fox, as fierce as a wolf, this is the old helmsman's private evaluation of you." On the surface, you are indeed not the opponent of the old helmsman, but the old helmsman can't prevent you from secretly poisoning you! In fact, I have never understood, why did the old helmsman leave his last words to pass on the position of helmsman to you? Looks like it's time for you to clear my mind tonight. ”

"Okay, you Pu Er, I know that you have always been indignant in your heart that I am sitting on the helm, and you want to borrow a knife to kill people today!" Lord Sun's face changed, and he suddenly began to jump and scream. Just as Pu Lao Er knows him, he also knows Pu Lao Er very well. Straightforward character, righteousness first, plain and the best reputation. Even though he is a little scheming, he is thin-faced and soft-hearted. As long as he holds him with his words, he will definitely not be able to make any moths in order to avoid suspicion.

"Second master, you can't turn your elbow outward. We are our own brothers who break bones and tendons. ”

"The letter of the old helmsman who wrote the throne and the sun helmsman on that day. You also saw it with your own eyes, and you also took the handwriting of the previous letters and made sure that they were correct before executing them. You jumped out again at this time to question, should you want to take the opportunity to buckle the basin on the head of Lord Sun Helm, you yourself can take the opportunity to take the position, right? "Those gangsters who have a good relationship with Lord Sun Helm immediately began to help.

It's a pity that these people still underestimate Pu Laoer's feelings for the old helmsman, as long as there is a trace of doubt, he will not let it go. I saw him clenching his fist at Lord Sun Helm and said, "With Guo Shilang personally asking the case, the matter will always come to light." As long as Master Sun Helm explained clearly, he solved the doubts in the hearts of the brothers. In the end, it is proved that the death of the old helmsman has nothing to do with you, and I, Pu Lao Er, will naturally make amends to you with three swords and six holes. If it turns out that you were the fault of the old helmsman's death, don't blame the brethren for lighting the sky lantern with you. As soon as he said this, the gang was speechless.
