Chapter 17: Puff is still a saint
"Hehe, Hu Fu'er, I'm afraid you don't believe what I said."
Chen Li looked at Hu Xiu and didn't speak, and sneered.
"No, on the contrary, I will objectively believe what you say. Because there is another possibility, the real murderer is finished, steals the bloodstained clothes in your room, and deliberately blames you. ”
"Where's that bloodstained garment?"
"Now in the hands of the Praetorian Guards."
Hu Xiu nodded.
"You wait here for me."
Turning around, he went to find the janissary patrolling the hallway.
"Chief Lin Guard, come here."
"Master Hu, what are you looking for me?"
"Where did you put the bloodstained clothes that were found in Chen Li's room?"
"It's on the first floor, but Hu Gongzi wants to use it?"
"Well, it's useful."
"Master Hu, I'll go get it."
After that, he ran to talk to the two chief guards, but he didn't know what to say, anyway, the two handed over something, and the Lin guards put it away, and then went down to the first floor and came up with a long black box.
"Didn't you go get your clothes? How do you get this thing? ”
"The clothes are in there."
The chief of the Lin guard took out three "iron pieces" from his arms, and after a while, he actually got a key out.
"This dress is an important physical evidence, to be kept specially, this box is made of black iron, the hardest, almost no martial arts can break it, and this key is also made by a special method, can be split, people who don't know its splicing method get it, it can only be three useless pieces of iron."
"Click~"
After that, the chief of the Lin Guard, took the key and opened the box, it was a cyan dress, and the chest and hem were stained with blood, especially the hem was stained with a lot.
Hu Xiu picked up his clothes and was about to go back to Chen Li's room.
"Wait, Master Hu, I'll go in with you."
"Huh?"
"This Chen Li is a martial arts officer, a fifth-order master, although the son is also a fifth-order, but if he wants to damage this clothes, he can't stop it."
Rub, that thin monkey-like Chen Li actually has such martial arts, Mrs. Wei said before that he has some martial arts.
I thought he was also a third-order, but I didn't expect it to be a fifth-order, looking at him thin, but with force, he is really unseemly.
The two of them walked into Chen Li's house together.
"Chen Li, this is your clothes?"
"Let me see."
As soon as Chen Li saw the clothes, he seemed stunned and took a few steps forward.
"Click~"
The chief of the Lin guard drew his long knife.
"Just look from a distance, don't get too close."
But Hu Xiu was a little strange, so he asked the chief of the Lin guard next to him:
"Didn't this Chen Li see this bloody coat before?"
"After searching the garment in his room, he didn't see it."
Chen Li stood not far away, looking at the bloody clothes, his originally small eyes narrowed even smaller.
After looking at it for a while, he ran to the door of the wardrobe, opened the wardrobe, and took out a green dress that was very similar to Hu Xiu's hand.
"This ......"
Hu Xiu was also stunned.
"How can the clothes be so similar?"
The chief of the Lin guard snatched the clothes from Chen Li's hand.
Chen Li snorted coldly and said, "Hmph~ Wu Pifu." ”
"Why are the colors, colors, and patterns so similar? These two clothes are almost identical! ”
"Then I don't know."
Chen Li turned his hand away, looking like he didn't care about himself.
"Chen Li! Don't be arrogant! Now that all the evidence points to you, and you yourself have taken out of your closet exactly the same clothes, you can be condemned by that! ”
"Hehe, it turns out that Hu Guo convicted others in this way, and if he wants to add to the crime, there is no excuse. Alas, now that I think about it, it is really pitiful to be the people of your Hu country. ”
Chen Li spread his hands innocently.
"You ......"
The head of the Lin Guard was extremely angry for a while, and he wanted to pull out the long knife he had just put back.
"Don't, don't, Lin Guard, don't be angry with him."
Hu Xiu can see that this Chen Li's mouth is poisonous, the more you argue with him, in the end, you will make yourself angry.
"And you, saying that others are martial artists, then why don't you want to think that you are also a fifth-order martial artist?"
"Hmph."
Chen Li snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"Let's put this dress on."
Hu Xiu handed over the bloody clothes in his hand.
"You can't wear it!"
"I don't wear it!"
The two of them said at the same time.
"Master Hu, this Chen Li is the most treacherous, you can't give him this bloody clothes!"
"Call me treacherous? You kid, you look like a man in your twenties and thirties, but your character is not as good as mine. ”
"Then, Chen Li, are you wearing it or not?"
"Don't wear it!"
Chen Li still decisively rejected Hu Xiu.
"Don't you want to clear your name?"
Hu Xiu ignored the Commander of the Lin Guards and handed over his clothes.
"You believe me?"
Chen Li was a little stunned.
"Isn't it a thought to believe or not? If you want to prove your innocence, go ahead and put on your clothes. ”
"Good ......"
After hesitating for a while, he took his clothes and changed them.
"How's it going, how does it feel to put it on?"
"It's a little tight, the size is one size smaller, and it's a little uncomfortable to wear, but the height matches me, and the hem doesn't drag on the ground."
"Oh? Is it a size smaller? ”
Looking at the tight appearance of this clothes, this Chen Li looked thin, but he didn't expect that there was still some meat.
"It should be, it's a little tight, I usually go shopping for clothes, I like to buy a bigger one, it's comfortable to wear, this one is too small."
"Do you still like to buy blue clothes?"
"Yes, I'm used to it, I only wear cyan clothes, and the cabinets are all this color."
Chen Li opened his wardrobe, and it was indeed full of green clothes.
Hu Xiu had a conjecture for a while, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to support his chin.
"Huh? How do my hands get sticky? ”
I foiled the sticky stuff on my hand and licked it.
"It's kind of sweet... Wait, a little sweet? Like sugar? ”
Hu Xiu pulled Chen Li and really found a big puddle of sticky stuff on him, the piece of clothing on his arm, which should be the sugar that the murderer accidentally stained when he killed someone!
The murderer who killed Lord Wei should be the same person as the person who killed Tang Xiang, but you have to ask if this sweet is the sugar used by Tang Xiang. The murderer still killed people continuously, and he didn't change his clothes when he killed Tang Xiang.
"Chen Li, I have found some clues, you take off your clothes and give it to me, the murderer should be after killing someone, and then put the clothes in your room."
Chen Li took off his bloody clothes and changed into his own clothes.
"That day, after you finished talking with Lord Wei, when did you return to the post house?"
"Ask what this is about."
Chen Li frowned.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I have to calculate when the murderer put his clothes in your house."
"Well... I finished talking to Wei Qi that day, and then returned to the post house about the time it was over, and then I felt a little hungry in my stomach, so I went down and called the people of the post house, served me some food, and drank a few glasses of wine.
I don't know what happened that day, I drank a few glasses and was a little drunk, I hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and went to sleep. ”
"So you're almost asleep?"
"Pretty much."
Sleep at the right time, how many glasses of wine to get drunk?
"Chen Li, how much do you usually drink?"
"Me? I'm known to be a thousand cups not drunk! ”
"Lin Guard, excuse me, go get a jar of wine."
The chief of the Lin Guard, who is also watching the show, wants to see how this Chen Li is not drunk in a thousand cups!
Walked quickly, dodged a few times, crossed the stairs, reported a jar of wine from the first floor, and jumped to the second floor.
"The wine is here, Chen Jiuxian, let's clear."
Lin Zhanwei threw the wine at Chen Li, Chen Li stood still, his hand was forward, and the wine jar fell steadily in his hand.
Hu Xiu wanted to applaud for a while, this hand, he thought he couldn't do it, the strength of this hand was very exquisite.
Chen Li threw away the wine stuffed in the mouth of the wine jar, looked up and drank wildly, looking at him like this, but there was a bit of a crazy taste.
"Now there are still some drinks left, Chen has drunk most of them, but I am not a little drunk, do you believe it or not?"
This big jar of wine is bigger than the jar of wine filled with autumn dew that Hu Xiu drank yesterday, and it has to start at least three catties, and this sip is more than half of it? Is there a bottomless pit in his belly?
"Then why don't you drink the rest?"
This Lin Janissary seems to be a little against Chen Li.
"Haha, it's not that I don't drink it, I'm afraid that a villain like you will say that this wine is fake after I finish drinking."
"You ......"
"If you are in doubt, taste the rest of my wine and see if it is real or fake."
"No, no, no, I don't drink."
Hu Xiu waved his hand again and again, if it was a beautiful woman who had drunk it, he might have drunk it, as for the man, forget it.
"I'll drink!"
Lin Zhanwei took the wine jar, learned from Chen Li, raised his head and drank it, Hu Xiu couldn't bear to look at it, drank what was left by others, didn't he feel disgusting, and that person was a man, and he didn't look good......
"Ahem, cough, cough ~ spicy..."
He took a few sips, but finally the wine squirted out.
"Hehe~ This burning knife is the most intense, if you want to learn from me, you have to see if you have the ability.
As far as you drink half a lot, you just want to compare with me, I'm afraid you want to humiliate yourself, right? ”
Chen Li looked at Lin Xiwei's embarrassed face and sneered for a while.
"You ......"
"Don't argue, don't argue, it's all small things, and it's a big matter."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Hu Xiu hurriedly stopped in the middle.
"Hmph."
Both snorted at the same time.
"Do you remember the face of the man who served you to eat and drink that day?"
"Remember, it's the wine that your people in the inn prepared for me."
"Okay, then this thing will be easy to do."
"Lin Guard, ...... trouble again"
"Master Hu, I understand what you mean, you don't need to say more, I'll call all the people in the post house over."
……
Lin Jianwei went out of the door of the guest room again to work, Hu Xiu was also happy, pulled a chair, and sat there.
"Okay, everyone is here, even the guy in the back kitchen, I've called it."
Lin Guards led the way, followed by a group of people, about a dozen people, fortunately, the guest room was quite large, and it didn't feel too crowded.
"Admit it, which one was the one who prepared the wine for you before? Let's make it clear! ”
"Hmph, a certain family originally agreed to recognize each other, why does it feel like a prisoner is in your mouth? Is it really a puppet, a rude? ”
"You ......"
"Stop, stop! The two of you are destined to be in a hurry, and you will quarrel when you meet, so stop it. ”
Hu Xiu was a little helpless, what's the matter, I've been alone with this Chen Li for a while, chattering, talking something, and I didn't see any quarrels, why did Lin Guards quarrel as soon as they came? Can't both of them talk well?
"Chen Li, you better recognize people first, you also know that this will help you clear your suspicions."
"Hmph, it's still Hu Gongzi who can speak, unlike someone, just a puppet who hasn't read a book."
Seeing that Lin Jianwei was about to quarrel with Chen Li again, Hu Xiu hurriedly stopped him.
"Lin Jianwei, you are also stupid, quarreling with a person who reads and practices his mouth, can you quarrel with him? This time I'm here to talk to him. ”
"Chen Li, that's not right, this person who hasn't read a book is a puppet?"
"Scholars read the books of sages, and these janissaries, no matter how high their martial arts are, are nothing more than puffers."
Chen Li was a little proud.
"You're talking about! I asked you if you are in your Yu country, is there a guard in the imperial city? ”
"Yes."
"You just think of them as martial artists?"
"Exactly."
"Okay, then let me ask you a question, if we Hu State attack your Yu Kingdom with all our strength and attack the Imperial City, at that time, will you scholars guard the city, or will the guards of the Imperial City guard the city?"
"Since they are janissaries, this is their duty, we scholars are to help the saints govern the country, not to defend the city."
"Duty? Hehe~"
Hu Xiu felt a little sad in his heart, the guards, you are guarding your country, but those who are protected standing behind look down on you and despise you. They don't know that the peace of the country is guarded by you with your own lives!?
……
No, if I were one of those Janissaries, and the enemy country would be pressed into the Imperial City, I would abandon the city and flee, not because I was afraid, but because the people standing behind me did not deserve to be guarded like me!
