Chapter 101: The Truth Revealed
"Lord, the cavalry captain Xian Yuyin has arrived."
Li Tao said in a deep voice.
Liu Yi slashed the Mo knife in his hand forward, and with a bang, he cut the iron beads that had been prepared in half with a single click.
"What a knife!"
Liu Yixi said.
Li Tao smiled back and said, "The knife is a good knife!" But he has always cut off the evil heart, and the current matter, the lord had better come forward in person. ”
"No!"
Liu Yi said bluntly: "I didn't kill this person, what does it matter to me!" You just have to deal with it. ”
After a year of rushing to build, the blacksmith shop has cast a thousand Mo knives, each of which is full of Liu Yi's high hopes.
Li Tao shrugged his shoulders, there was no way, he could only go head-on by himself with such a hand-shaking master.
"Lord, the murderer of Qi Zhou may still be in the city."
"Oh!"
Liu Yi was instantly interested, and hurriedly asked, "How did the military advisor know?" ”
Li Tao replied: "After the incident, I ordered a strict investigation of the people who entered and left the city, because the cold winter has come, during this period there are only 24 people out of the city, these 24 people have been checked one by one, there is no suspicion of committing a crime, so I dare to think that this culprit is still in the city." ”
"The military advisor is just speculation, but how to find out the murderer!"
Li Tao said with a smile: "If the lord comes forward in this matter, he may be able to catch the murderer." ”
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Liu Yi was stubborn, so he could only agree.
……
"Let's go and see! Lord Taishou wants to personally try Qi Zhou's murder case! ”
"It is said that the murderer has been found!"
The news spread overwhelmingly, and the entire Xiangping City knew about it, in an oil mill in the west of the city, the two men were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, and then looked at each other and smiled, and also went to Taishou Mansion with the crowd to see the excitement.
Too guarded outside the house.
A table was placed in the open air, Liu Yiduan sat in front of the table, his right hand sat on the horse captain Xian Yuyin, and his left hand stood Li Tao.
Liu Yi looked at the people around him, it was already full, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Open the hall!" ”
The officials shouted in unison: "Mighty! (Make it up)
"Take the criminals to court!"
As Liu Yi shouted, a servant walked out and solemnly placed a waist card on the ground.
Xian Yuyin looked at the waist card on the ground with a confused face, glanced back at Liu Yi again, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Taishou, are you teasing Captain Bendu?" ”
"Don't dare! General, please take a closer look. ”
Liu Yi replied with a smile.
Liu Yi scolded grandiosely: "Youzhou engaged in Qi Zhou's unprovoked death, and only this waist card was left at the scene, so this waist card is the only evidence, and if you are bold to commit it, it is better to recruit it truthfully!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the onlookers suddenly laughed, a waist card, neither flesh and blood, nor psychic, how can he speak, this Lord Taishou is not stupid today.
"Haha......"
Even Xian Yuyin couldn't help laughing.
"Silence!"
Liu Yi shouted in a deep voice.
The officials on both sides immediately knocked the ground with water and fire sticks in their hands, and there were bursts of sounds, covering the noisy crowd.
Liu Yi immediately said seriously: "It seems that this waist card is not going to confess, come on, give me twenty boards." ”
"Yes!"
The two officials stepped forward and played the waist card in a decent manner in front of everyone, and began to count while playing.
“1”
“2”
……
“20”
After the 20 boards were played, there was still nothing to do with the waist card, lying on the ground, not even making a sound.
Silly!
Really stupid!
The crowd of onlookers laughed endlessly, a copper-engraved waist card, you just hit it a hundred boards, and it can't speak!
Liu Yi's face was pale, and he said bitterly: "I didn't expect this to be so hard-mouthed, it's really angry with me, come here, take it down, and smelt it." ”
"No!"
A servant stepped forward to receive the order, picked up the waist card on the ground, and retreated.
The scene suddenly became confused, this trial came and went, and there was still no result at all!
Liu Yi smiled bitterly at Xian Yuyin: "Xian Duwei, I didn't expect that the accomplice of this criminal still hasn't been found, it's really a miscalculation, in line with the deceased, let's let Qi Zhou be buried earlier." ”
Xian Yuyin nodded, this person has been dead for several days, and he is still in the post house, it is indeed a little unorthodox, it is better to enter the coffin early.
"What Liu Taishou said is very true."
Liu Yi immediately said: "Ben Taishou plans to build a coffin for Qi Zhou to show Ben Taishou's apology. ”
"The coffin of all peoples?"
Xian Yuyin glanced at Liu Yi in surprise, where is this stupid Taishou making trouble, and what is this coffin of ten thousand people.
Liu Yi hurriedly explained: "It is to give at least five copper plates per household, and then use the money to build a coffin for Qi Zhou." ”
"Li Tao, let everyone contribute!"
Li Tao hurriedly got up, came to the crowd, and raised his voice: "Lord Taishou has an order, at least five copper plates per household, let's start with you!" ”
As soon as the words fell, these melon-eating people were ready to evacuate, but no one paid attention to it, and the periphery of the crowd had already been surrounded by a group of soldiers, and it was too late to run.
"Everyone, pay for it!"
Li Tao walked into the crowd with a servant carrying a bucket filled with a small half of water.
"Come, one counts as one, donate one and go one."
Li Tao put down his words, and these melon-eating people suddenly felt that they had lost money and went to their grandmother's house, which was lively, and they had to pay for it.
"Hey! What bad luck! ”
A man threw five copper plates into the bucket, Li Tao fixed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Let him go!" ”
With the first case, there is a second and a third......
"Boom!"
There was a sound of falling water, and a small piece of broken gold was thrown into the bucket, and a layer of oil splashed immediately scattered on the bucket.
Seeing this, Li Tao was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Take down the person for me!" ”
"Let go of me!"
Several officials immediately stepped forward to hold the two people in front of Li Tao, who were from the oil mill in the west of the city to see the excitement.
"We have not sinned, let us go!"
Li Tao smiled: "The murderer is you, and you can't deny it, what are you looking at floating on the water?" ”
"This is nothing more than a layer of oil flowers, there are four or five oil mills in this Xiangping City, why do you say it's us, I don't accept it."
Li Tao waved back unhurriedly, and just now the official sent the waist card over.
Li Tao deliberately shook the waist card in front of the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Two, is there a unique smell on this waist card, which is exactly the same as yours." ”
The two of them did have a pungent smell in their bodies, because the oil mill in the west of the city mainly sells tung oil, which is the same as the smell on the waist card, and in the entire Xiangping City, there is only one family selling tung oil.
The reason why Li Tao set up this bureau was to make the facts public, so that Liu Yi could clear himself as soon as possible, lest someone chew the root of his tongue behind his back and say that he was beaten into a trick.
The two of them were stunned, they didn't expect to hide it like this, but they were still discovered, and then the two of them made a look, turned around and hit the official with their heads, broke free, pulled out the short sword at their waists, and rushed to Liu Yi first, wanting to flee hostage.
"Mao thief, your grandfather Li Yuanba has been waiting for you for a long time!"
With a roar, Li Yuanba came out with a drum urn and a golden hammer, stopped the two people, and knocked them down with a hammer in one hand.
Looking at the scene happening in front of him, Xian Yuyin finally understood that he was singing a play with others, and now that the play is over, it is time for him to play.
"Someone! Put the two thieves into custody. ”
Xian Yuyin shouted.
Several guards who were fresh in silver hurriedly rushed out and tied people up with ropes, and feared that the two of them would bite their tongues and kill themselves, so they would stuff their mouths with strips of cloth.
