Chapter 137: A Little Clue
There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, everyone had gathered outside, after a night's rest, they were in very good spirits, when Song Ci walked out of the door, Lian Shi also sent out the door.
She looked at Song Ci affectionately, "Lord Song, the folk girl is waiting for you to come back, this inn, from now on, Lord Song can come and live at will." ”
Song Ci had a hunch, when he saw Yue Xiaoxiang, the two of them were secretly having fun, covering their mouths and laughing, he immediately knew what was going on.
The group finally set off at this moment.
"Yue Xiaoxiang, you don't plan to confess at this moment? Why was that innkeeper so friendly to me? Could it be that you guys have something in there?
The two of them stretched out their tongues, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "My lord, what did Xiaoxiang and I do,...... It's just that we didn't let her be your wife!"
"Yes, my lord, Miss Yue's is completely right, we have only played a part of this matter, and the specific situation is not caused by your too much charm?
Song Ci was speechless, he couldn't see the problem there? This Lian may know that his former wife Yu has passed away, so he .....
Song Ci shook his head and sighed, he didn't want to continue the strings anymore, he had been alone for so long, there was nothing to talk about, and besides, there were so many people around him, there was no problem in life.
After seven days of traveling, it was not until early the second morning that everyone finally came to the scene of the crime at the time of the curtain under the leadership of Vice General Zhou.
It belongs to the deep mountains and old forests, and there is a river next to it, and the river water is clear and has not been polluted in any way.
Everyone stopped, and Vice General Zhou pointed to the place where Zhu Zhi'an was killed and said: "Lord Song, I was in the cluster at that time, and I was ordered to steal chickens for Zhu Zhi'an, but who knew that when he came back, he had been shot to death by many arrows."
"Moreover, there were many people around me at that time, and these murderers may have known that they didn't dare to clash head-on at this moment, so they planned to sneak attack."
Song Ci was silent, Vice General Zhou's words suddenly woke him up, the murderer knew that he had many subordinates, so he didn't dare to have a head-on conflict, the content of these words was very big.
At the same time, only the people who knew that Zhu Zhi'an had returned to the dynasty at that time were the people who chose the Dedian, and Tang and Wu were the most suspicious, and the hatred of the adults was the same, and there would be no one else.
The more Song Ci looked at it, the deeper his brows became, there was nothing left here, there was no evidence at all, how easy was it to find clues?
However, as long as there is a crime scene, it is certain that a lot of useful things can be found, and then these things can be infinitely magnified, and things will be revealed little by little.
Ordering everyone to stay where they were, Song Ci decided to take a look nearby, where the woods were more lush than in other places, and the sun could not be seen for a long time, and the ground below was wet.
It has been a month, and this place has long returned to the calm of the beginning of the curtain, and the neighborhood is very quiet, only in the distance there is a mud house, outside the house there is a fence of bamboo walling, inside the fence is a chicken and duck and other domestic animals.
The earthen house is not big, but the outside is neat and orderly, Song Ci immediately walked over, and when he came to the door of the house, he saw an old woman sitting on a stool in the courtyard eating with dishes and chopsticks, Song Ci immediately strode over.
"Old man, eating in such an environment early in the morning will definitely be very funny!"
The old woman turned her head to look, she saw the court officials coming, immediately got up, and then knelt down and said, "Da Rao has seen..."
"No need old man!"
Song Ci hurriedly helped her up and said, "You are old, if you bow down to me, won't you want to lose my life?"
The old woman stood up, and then turned her eyes to Song Ci, Song Ci also kept scanning the surroundings, this place is quiet and leisurely, it can be regarded as a good place to live, even in the era of war and chaos, thieves and gold people may not find here.
"Old man, I wonder how long you've been living here? Are you still used to it?"
Lao Yang: "What are you used to, people are old, and they can't go anywhere, instead of moving to the city, it's better to live some idle days here, right?"
"At the same time, once this person is old, he always misses the place he stayed in, no matter how rich you are, no matter how rich you are, people, there is always one place in your heart, that is, hometown."
For this, Song Ci felt very reasonable, Old Man Mo, even at his age, he also missed a scene at this moment.
It's just that now that he has an official position, Song Ci knows that he can't go back, at least in a short period of time, when he returns to his hometown, he will definitely return to Jianyang County.
Taking a deep breath, Song Ci said, "Old man, since this is the case, what about your family?" Why aren't they there?"
The old woman was mentioned as sad, and suddenly she burst into tears and was a little sad.
"Family, family members have gone to join the army to defend the Great Song Dynasty, our family, four or five people have gone out, and it has been many years now, and no one has come back, hey, I don't know if I have died in battle."
Song Ci was silent at this moment, he didn't know what was good, if it was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, how good would it be?
It's a pity that all this was made by the Jin people, and these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, one day, they will definitely be slaughtered.
"Don't be sad old man, maybe your family is on their way back at this moment? Also, I don't know where they joined the army? Song happens to have an acquaintance in the court, so I can help you ask. ”
The old woman was overjoyed and said, "My lord, are you sure you can help me with this?" Song Ci nodded.
The old woman suddenly smiled, she hadn't been so happy for a long time, and then said: "They, they all went to the border to fight gold, it's been more than ten years, it stands to reason that the old man of my family is also old, it's time to go home, but why hasn't there been any news of them yet?"
Song Ci had a suspicion in his mind, that is, the old woman's family had died in battle, but he would not let this out, for fear that the other party would not be able to accept this blow.
Song Ci said: "Old man, tell me your family's name, and I will definitely help you inquire after I return to Lin'an."
The old woman said: "My man's name is Ge Laosan, if he is alive now, he will be seventy-five or sixteen, my lord, as long as you find my man, as for the children below, they will naturally find it."
Song Ci had already written it down, and after coming over for so long, he almost figured out one thing, and that was about the situation when Zhu Zhi'an was killed.
Song Ci thought for a while, "Old man, I really don't hide it, I actually mentioned the criminal officer Song Ci below, and when I came here today, I actually have something to ask you."
As soon as she heard the word Song Ci, the old woman knelt on the ground and cried all of a sudden.
"Master Qingda, I'm old, I didn't expect to see you again, this is really a blessing, a blessing!"
Song Ci helped her up and said: "The old man has won the award, this young man, it's all everyone's nonsense, Song Mou is in his position, he has to be in a certain government, aren't you?"
The old woman sighed.
Song Ci said: "Old man, in fact, Song Mou came to look for you, in fact, there is a reason, that is, I want to ask about the death of Zhu Zhi'an, the anti-gold lord a month ago, I don't know what you know?"
"Zhu Zhi'an, the main general of the anti-gold resistance?" A trace of abnormality flashed across the old woman's face, "Lord Song, you are wrong about this matter, the old woman doesn't know who Zhu Zhi'an is, and at the same time, she doesn't know what the anti-gold chief will be." ”
Song Ci said in his heart, does the old man really not know or fake don't know? But looking at its color, she must know something, should she get to the bottom of it?
"Old man, a month ago, there was a murder on this road near your house, do you know? It's such a big fuss, didn't you listen to it?"
The old woman continued to shake her head, "I, Lord Song, my Lord Qing, I really don't know that someone was killed behind my house, could it be that you suspect that the old man is the murderer?"
Song Ci hurriedly denied it, "The old man misunderstood, Song didn't mean that, and this Zhu Zhi'an brought a large number of people into Lin'an at that time, the old man was old, how could he kill him?"
"It's just that this Zhu Zhi'an is a traitor, and he actually deserves to die, but Song, as a criminal officer, how can he not ask at this moment? Besides, the Queen Mother has already given an order. ”
The old woman muttered in an extremely weak voice, "Since he is a corrupt official, the old body will not know who the murderer is, and this kind of person will die one less person."
Song Ci heard this, but he didn't take the opportunity to ask, but respected the old woman, besides, she didn't know more than himself.
Song Ci sighed, he knew that Tang and Wu were murderers, but there was no evidence, and there was no way to deal with them at this moment.
Da Song is already chaotic enough, and he can't let them continue, otherwise he will be terminally ill, and even if he is an immortal, it will be useless at that time.
took out ten taels of silver from his body, and Song Ci handed it to the old woman, "Old man, Song has some broken silver on his body, but it's not much, you can take it and buy some delicious food!"
“.... My lord, you.... The old woman was shocked.
Without explanation, Song Ci handed the silver into his hands, then turned and left, and when they came to the side, they rested at the station.
Qin Yue and the others walked over, "My lord, you have been there for a long time just now, I don't know if you have found any clues?"
Song Ci shook his head, "The old man knows that Zhu Zhian is a traitor, so he refuses to reveal the slightest rumor, and Song can't force her, at this moment, we can only look for clues little by little." ”
"It's just that Emperor Lizong is really blind, even this old man who lives in the deep mountains and old forests knows that Zhu Zhi'an is a traitor, he is sitting on the dragon chair of the Xuande Palace, doesn't he really know?"
