Chapter 406: Waiting for the Rabbit to Judge the Thief at Night
Is it uncomfortable? I think you're better able to tell the truth. Let's say, there are a lot of people during the day, you don't want to say, there are fewer people at this time, you can say it! Geng Xiaofan won't let him up easily.
"My lord, you are here to find Geng Du Weicheng, and the matter here has nothing to do with you. Please don't waste your time here. Ju Chu knew very well Geng Xiaofan's intentions and began to negotiate with him.
"How do you know it's not about me? Which of the things in the Upper Valley has nothing to do with me? Geng Xiaofan's face was gloomy.
"Oh well! You let me go up first, and I promise to tell you everything! Ju Chu clutched the rope tightly with both hands, looking very uncomfortable.
"Good! You reach for it. Geng Xiaofan put away the dagger, turned his head and handed it to Heping, "Heping, you treat him as a little lamb, if he is not honest, you will poke him!" ”
"Oh!" He Ping took the dagger with a shaking hand, held it tightly, and aimed it at Ju Chu, "Tell you, I have killed sheep, don't force me." ”
Ju Chu shook his head helplessly, holding the well fence and preparing to come out. Geng Xiaofan stopped.
To be on the safe side, he pulled up the rope and tied Ju Chu's hands.
"Hey, why bother!" Ju Chu sighed, but he had no choice but to obey.
"Let's talk about it! What exactly are you going to do? Geng Xiaofan pressed Ju Chu on the edge of the well fence and began to search him.
Ju Chu only had a dagger in his arms and nothing else.
"I say, just for this dagger, do you believe it?" Ju Chu replied helplessly.
"That's a good dagger, tell me where it came from." Geng Xiaofan casually played with the dagger and asked easily.
"This dagger is my family heirloom, I accidentally lost it a year ago, but I didn't expect to find it in this well today. During the day, there were so many people that I didn't want to take it out, so I had to come back at night. Ju Chu calmly explained.
"Hehe, I'm afraid I don't want to, I don't dare! Your dagger appeared at the scene of the murder, and you are afraid that you will not be able to explain it! Geng Xiaofan sneered and handed the dagger to Heping.
"There is a real concern. But, my lord, I've never been here, and I don't know how the dagger ended up in this well. "Pretending to be innocent at the beginning.
Geng Xiaofan was skeptical, and was thinking about how to ask again, but Heping spoke.
"You're lying!"
Geng Xiaofan turned his head to look at Heping curiously.
Kawahei drew his dagger and shook it in front of Ju Chu, "You think we're all children?" This dagger doesn't look like it's been at the bottom of a well for a year! ”
Geng Xiaofan also woke up, and the dagger was in Heping's hand, reflecting the moonlight and emitting a faint blue light. Smooth as new, how can it be buried at the bottom of the well for a year.
"I really don't know, maybe, maybe it was He Liu who stole my dagger and left it in the well when he escaped a few days ago." Ju Chu was a little anxious.
"You still dare to talk nonsense!" Kawahei inserted the dagger back into the scabbard, "Even if it was left a few days ago, why didn't there be a trace of dirt in this scabbard?" ”
"I, I, I just wiped!" Ju Chu was exposed, and some wanted to sweat.
"If you don't believe me, you can go down and see! There's really nothing down there! Ju Chu began to swear, shaking the rope that bound his hand. The other end of the rope was still in the well.
"You think we don't dare go down!" He Ping hated others telling lies the most, and he was also angry at this time, and couldn't help but pull the rope.
"Huh! There's something hanging from under this rope! Heping pulled the rope and found that the end that fell into the well was so heavy that she couldn't pull it.
"Maybe it's stuck, then, there's a well stone down there." Ju Chu quickly explained.
Geng Xiaofan and He Ping didn't believe it even more.
Geng Xiaofan let go of Juchu and also went to pull the rope, and he found that the rope was not stuck at all, but it was just like Heping said that it was hanging something. It's heavy, but it's not that it can't be pulled.
"You're not honest! You think I have the work to spend here with you! Geng Xiaofan pulled it twice, feeling a little heavy and didn't want to pull it anymore.
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest, I found a box underneath, it is estimated that it is He Liuzang's treasure, so I came to pick it up at night." Juchu bowed his head and confessed his guilt.
"Pull it up!" Geng Xiaofan agrees with Juchu's explanation. It is really possible for a "thief businessman" like He Liu to hide some unsightly treasures.
Juchu was helpless, so he had to get up and start pulling out.
The other end of the rope turned out to be a wooden box.
"Ask the adults to be kind, the villain is really just a momentary ghost." Ju Chu lifted the wooden box out of the well, and quickly begged for mercy.
"How many times have you deceived the official, how can the official be gracious?" Geng Xiaofan looked at the box and was a little speechless. I had a good initial impression of this, but I didn't expect him to be a greedy person.
"Daddy! Look what that is! ”
Geng Xiaofan was thinking about how to deal with this matter, and He Ping pointed to the box and shouted again.
The box was not delicate, but it was sturdy and locked with a copper lock. And what Heping was pointing to was an item hanging on the copper lock!
A deerskin wine sac is exactly the same as the one Geng Xiaofan just held!
"Zhen'er's wine bag!" Geng Xiaofan felt the hot blood in his whole body surging up all of a sudden!
Turning to look at Ju Chu in a daze, he couldn't help but say something, and kicked at him!
Ju Chu's attention was on the box, and he didn't react at all, and was kicked to the ground.
Heping also ran forward desperately, pointing a dagger in one hand and pointing at Ju Chu's neck, "Tell the truth!" My husband is not down there! What happened to him? ”
"Your husband?" Ju Chu was stunned.
"Heping, look at him, he didn't kill him honestly!" Geng Xiaofan was also a little excited at this time, and the wine bag that his son was carrying was found, indicating that his son must have been here. Since he was not burned to death by the fire and did not escape, there is only one possibility, and his son is below!
Now, he can't do that much, he has to go down and find out for himself!
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Ling Lang is really not down there! You believe me once, I'll tell you! When Ju Chu saw that Geng Xiaofan was about to jump down the well desperately, he was also in a hurry, so he rushed over and hugged Geng Xiaofan's leg.
"Good! I'll give you another chance! Geng Xiaofan calmed down.
If you want to go down, you must untie the rope that binds Juchu, and if you can go down, Heping will be in danger.
"I really haven't been here before. During the day today, after I went down, I found this box, which was not a treasure, it was all accounts, and it was all about the things that my father-in-law had asked He Liu to do over the years! ”
Ju Chu knelt down upright in front of Geng Xiaofan, he really couldn't hide it at this time.
Geng Xiaofan touched the copper lock on the box and doubted the letter.
"This lock was originally open, but I locked it so that I could get it." Ju Chu quickly explained.
"And what's going on with this wine bag!" Now that the box is already here, Geng Xiaofan is not afraid of panicking at the beginning, he began to care about his son!
