Chapter III. The sword asked Beiyan 90

Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, this Xue Zhutou, who has been crawling on the rivers and lakes for many years, is the first person in the entire Julu County to see the Huashen Business Group's 'plastic surgery'. Although Xue Liu has a very close personal relationship with these 'legitimate businessmen' on weekdays, after all, his official identity is still a nine-rank catcher of the imperial court registered by the officials! And this chief steward of the Huashen Business Group looks shrewd and slick on weekdays; But now, in an instant, with just one gesture, four lives were killed! Moreover, this incident still happened under the nose of a headcatcher! Xue Zhutou himself didn't even understand whether the other party was expressing full trust in himself? is still using these four lives to demonstrate to himself......

However, even if he Xue Liu wanted to be 'iron-faced and selfless', he had nowhere to start. First of all, these two men who silently killed the killer, although they were members of his Huashen business group, were undoubtedly members; But they killed people, legally speaking, but it has nothing to do with this chief steward! It is foreseeable that even if you 'turn your face and don't recognize people', the other party can completely withdraw from the matter. People can stare at them and say, "I don't know those two 'burglars' who killed people at all." "In the case of no one and no physical evidence, how much storm can he set off with just a nine-grade fast official body?

Besides, since people can 'support' themselves for several years for no reason, they are naturally willing to take out a large sum of money and buy their own heads! I'm afraid that when I can't fight the tiger, I will be injured by the tiger, and I will definitely end up with a dismal end on the street.

Even when Xue Zhutou had already appeared in front of Shen Gui with the four dead corpses, he still had palpitations when he thought of the understated face of the steward. With his rich experience as an errand boy for many years, he has actually felt that the entire Julu County seems to be covered with a layer of indescribable and unclear 'big net'. And he and the county master, including the people of the entire Julu County, may now be in this big net......

"Ahem...... I am the head catcher of this county, Xue Liu. I heard that it was you and the other three who had an argument with these four dead people outside the city gate? Then you hold a grudge and instigate your fellow party members to assassinate the enemy to vent their anger, yes or no? ”

Although even Xue Zhutou himself didn't believe in this reasoning, due to various reasons, he still had to ask this question. is the so-called eating people with a short mouth and soft hands; Things have come to such a point that it is impossible to talk about whether the wording of his question is rigorous and whether his position is neutral......

"Not bad!"

"Okay, the headcatcher...... Wait a minute? What did you just say? ”

Shen Gui smiled slightly, pulled up the signature scoundrel smile, and stretched out his finger to the tip of his nose and said:

"Didn't you just make it clear? The three of us, along with the four pranksters, had an argument outside the city gates; Then I instigated the 'fugitive comrades' to assassinate them to vent their personal anger, and by the way, to make a name for themselves in your Julu County. Now that I'll admit it, you're right about everything, and then what? What are you going to do with us? ”

“……”

In this way, both Master Cheng and Xue Zhutou were caught off guard by Shen Gui's 'confession'. Even if they are all old fritters in the public family, but at this moment and a half, no one can figure out what Shen Gui, the 'rich kid', is paying attention to......

But since it has come 'vigorously', the scene still can't let it cool down, it's like singing on stage together, both sides have already appeared on the stage, even if they are pulling their necks, Xue Zhutou, as the 'protagonist', has to continue to sing this rival play!

So his mind spun rapidly, thinking about the reason why this 'little young master' responded like this because the background was hard enough? Or is it just that the brain is not enough; But on the surface, Xue Zhutou still made a confident and businesslike appearance:

"Okay......! Since then...... The three of you...... For these four homicides...... What if they all confessed...... So...... Are you and the other three planning to 'admit the fight'? Or 'admit punishment'? ”

Xue Zhutou seemed to be using the method of 'elongating the tone' to elevate his posture, but Shen Gui knew very well in his heart that this Xue Zhutou was obviously using this way of speaking to delay time for himself and that master.

"Oh? This sounds fresh to me! It turns out that in your one-acre and three-third of Julu County, there is a felony like 'stabbing four lives', which is enough to kill the head, and there is still a saying of 'admitting punishment'? Everyone knows that our Beiyan Dynasty is not punished, and if it is punished, it will not be punished! Then I'll have to see it today! If Young Master Ben admits punishment, how high is the price of these four lives? ”

Xue Zhutou also consciously lost his words at this time, but after all, this is a 'closed case', and there is no way to drag out the 'stupid dog' of the county magistrate and instigate him to come forward to face the thunder; and this matter itself is a 'so-called iron case' born of his 'conspiracy' with the Huashen Business Group, and the details of all aspects of the case cannot withstand the scrutiny of others.

Moreover, the Huashen Merchant Group has already paid the price of four lives for this matter! If you want to survive this disaster safely, you can't help them do it clean and beautiful.

This is the evil result of his wrong step back then and accidentally getting on the 'thief ship'.

"Ahem...... The head of the captor has just found out that these four tooth men are bandits who committed murders in other places and escaped to this county; Later, after the county sorts out the case file, it will also be submitted to the yamen of the criminal department in Yanjing City, and ask for a lot of 'reward' for you; Although these four bandits have a case, they have been incognito in this county for many years and have already settled down; And the families of these four bandits are full of children, but they don't know anything about what they committed in their early years. It is for this reason that you have this good opportunity to 'accept punishment'...... As long as you are willing to pay a funeral silver to the four rogues, then the head catcher is naturally willing to guarantee it, so that both of you can benefit from it......"

Even if what Xue Zhutou said is true, then his 'verdict' is definitely a 'personal behavior' outside of legal reason. Shen Gui naturally knew that Xue Liu's mouth was full of nonsense, even if it sounded like it was all good words, but in fact, it was a hidden murderous motive!

Because this Julu County is related to the Huashen Sect, it is already a sure thing. On this one-third of an acre of land, in the blink of an eye, four big living people can be turned into four cold corpses, and they can even invite the head catchers of the county to come forward and make noise for them; People like this kind of people with hands and eyes are only possible in the 'Huashen Sect'.

But fortunately, Shen Gui stood above the county hall today, and he also had his own calculations. In addition to wanting to throw stones and ask for directions, the main thing is to help Qi Yan and Qi Hui brothers pull out some 'safe activity space', so he is also happy to continue grinding his teeth with this group of 'eagle dogs' who have been fed by the Huashen Sect.

"Well, since there can be a 'best of both worlds' solution, the three of us are by no means the kind of miserly people who 'sacrifice their lives without giving up their money'. Then bother Xue Zhutou to give a price, and we can discuss and see how this silver should be raised! ”

After Xue Zhutou listened, he glanced at Master Cheng who was standing on the steps. In fact, the right-hand men of the two county magistrates of this article and one martial arts are the actual masters of Julu County.

After the two exchanged eyes, Xue Zhutou finally gritted his teeth and stretched out five fingers as if he were ruthless:

"The four bitter masters, each family will get at least 50,000 taels."

After listening to this, Shen Gui nodded, leaned down again, lifted the white cloth covering the faces of the four corpses, and observed it carefully. After he carefully 'verified his body', he took out a silk handkerchief from his cuff and wiped his hands, looked up at Xue Zhutou, whose eyebrows were tightly locked, nodded in agreement and said:

"50,000 taels to buy a 'homicide', this price is also fair, according to this amount, the three of us will have to come up with a total of 600,000 taels of silver? In fact, this amount is not a big problem for the three of us at all; But after we raised this money, did we directly ask Xue Zhutou to hand it over to you? Or to the families of the four? Or will it be handed over to your county magistrate of Julu County? ”

When Xue Zhutou heard Shen Gui's 'shrewd algorithm', he almost laughed out loud with joy! The stupid man who automatically consciously reckoned with his debts in the 'thoughtfulness', he has never met a second one in his life!

“… Well... Our grandfather's body has always been not very cool, and whenever he encounters such a trivial matter on weekdays, he will be handed over to the head of the catcher to deal with it on his behalf. So what about this compensation......"

"Forget it, it's too much trouble! Let's admit it! ”

"What?"

"I said, we're not going to give the silver, we're going to admit it!"

Seeing that the large sum of silver that was about to arrive in his hand was gone, Xue Zhutou's eyebrows twisted even more distorted. However, for the sake of Yinzi's face, he still took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and once again 'enticed' Shen Gui:

What's so wrong with that? Oh! I understand! If you think the amount of compensation is too high to afford, I can also ...... with my family."

"No, no, no, Xue Zhutou misunderstood! The three of us have silver, have you seen it......" Speaking of this, Shen Gui pulled out a crumpled silver ticket from his cuff. Although it is not possible to see the approximate number of this scroll of silver notes for the time being, if they are all denominations of 1,000 taels, then this volume of silver tickets will not be less than 200,000 taels.

"The silver lord has it! But I won't hand over half of the copper plate to you! You can also think that I am gambling with you, betting on you, a small Julu County, and I can't cover the sky on Lao Tzu's head! ”
