After listening to the guy's words, Li Rizhi smiled and said: "We saw the black donkey, that is, when the person who rented the donkey returned the donkey this morning, he was with us, and the donkey was actually very good, not very stubborn!" ”

The guy thought about it, he remembered that the person who returned the donkey in the morning was surnamed Zhao, but he hadn't seen the two little boys in front of him, so he really couldn't remember, but when others praised the black donkey, he still had to echo a few words.

The man said: "It's okay, the black donkey is sometimes obedient, sometimes disobedient, because sometimes the people who rent it let it work, so it must be disobedient, tired to death, it's not bad if it doesn't bite, and it can't be blamed completely!" ”

Li Rizhi hummed and said: "It's not my own livestock, of course I won't cherish it, I have to earn the rent back, and no one will be polite if I can let a donkey finish the work of a cow!" ”

"Who's to say it's not, that's it!" The guy and Li Rizhi talked without a match, and walked to the cattle and horse shed in the backyard, this carriage and horse shop is not small, there are a few ploughing cattle available for rent, and more than a dozen horses, but the horses are all horses, and they are not suitable for riding, and this carriage and horse shop is a civilian business.

In the corner of the cowshed and horse shed, Li Rizhi saw the black donkey in the field, eating grass quietly, there was no strange temper at all, it was estimated that other animals in the entire cow and horse shed were bigger than it, so it didn't dare to lose its temper, lest other animals have a bigger temper than it!

Li Rizhi asked the guy: "This black donkey looks good, and the rent is cheap, is there someone renting it every day?" ”

The guy shook his head, it can be seen that he is a very honest person, he will not say some exaggerated things, and he does not have the kind of behavior of Wang Po selling melons and boasting, of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that he is not the shopkeeper, anyway, it is not his cattle and horses, whether he can sell it or not, how much does it have to do with him!

The guy said: "It's not that someone comes to rent it every day, the key is that sometimes it is really disobedient, others will not rent it once, and if someone hears that it is disobedient, they will not rent it." ”

He looked at Li Rizhi, and then at Fu Guibao, Li Rizhi was fine, he had been staring at the black donkey, but Fu Guibao was not, looking around, still covering his nose, it seemed that the smell of the cow and horse shed was too smelly!

The guy hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Two little boys, are you really here to buy this black donkey, or is there something else?" ”

Li Rizhi smiled: "Sure enough, you can see that there is indeed something else, we are indeed not here to buy this black donkey!" ”

The young man had such an expression on his face, these two little men really didn't look like they were going to buy a donkey, at least a horse!

Li Rizhi said seriously: "We are here to buy this carriage!" ”

The guy was stunned, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "Little boy, why is this, are you here to entertain me?" It's getting late, it's almost time for you to go home and sleep, and I still have to wash the cows and horses, and I haven't done a lot of work! ”

Li Rizhi followed his words and asked, "Are you brushing the cattle and horses?" Do you want to scrub this black donkey too? It was on the road for a day yesterday, and it was covered with a lot of dust, so it took a lot of effort to clean it! ”

Seeing that Li Rizhi no longer joked about buying the carriage and horse dealership, the man picked up the brush that was put aside and walked towards a jujube red horse, which he was brushing just now.

The guy said: "That's not it, the dust or something is easy to scrub, I'm afraid of getting on something else, like blood or something, if the blood dries up, it forms a scab and condenses the donkey hair, then it's hard to scrub it, but fortunately this donkey is black, if it's white, I guess I'll be tired to death!" ”

"Why is there blood on the donkey, did it hurt the donkey?" Li Rizhi asked.

He saw that this guy was actually very talkative, and he didn't mean to drive himself away, it was estimated that this guy was watching the store alone at night, and he had to wash them in the face of these cattle and horses, which was also very boring, so he didn't dislike talking to him by himself.

The guy brushed the jujube red horse and said: "No, it's sheep blood, a few days ago the Wang butcher's wheelbarrow broke down, so he came to rent a donkey to carry mutton, said that he would rent it on the same day and pay it back, but it was a night later, and he came to return it the next morning, so that the black donkey was covered in blood, and it is estimated that the donkey was not allowed to work, but there was no grass at all!" ”

"King Butcher? Does he live in the city, or outside the city? Li Rizhi asked.

"In the city, but they always go to the countryside to collect pigs and sheep, collect them and kill them and sell meat!" The man replied, "After he returned the donkey, the shopkeeper saw that the donkey was so dirty, and he gave me a good meal and said, I have to scrub the black donkey, otherwise others will not rent it, it is so disgusting and dirty, but it will exhaust me!" ”

After Li Rizhi heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "Wang Butcher, I rented a donkey for one more night, well, no, it was a donkey that I rented for one night, the night a few days ago?" I've got to make sure! ”

Li Rizhi asked: "Wang Butcher returned the donkey in the morning, is there a big incident in the county office, saying that a scholar named Hu Wei killed a wealthy businessman, and then found the body on the same day, isn't it?" Did you go see the excitement? ”

The guy shook his head and said: "No, what is it to see, I was busy brushing the donkey, but the shopkeeper went to see it, and I came back to talk about it, but I didn't care, I didn't remember what the name of the reader was, maybe it was Hu Wei!" ”

Fu Guibao took a turn next to the cow and horse shed, and saw that they were all ordinary cattle and horses, which were not good-looking, so he walked over and watched Li Rizhi talking to his buddy, he saw Li Rizhi nodding slightly, and knew that Li Rizhi had gotten the news he wanted to know.

Li Rizhi finally asked the guy, "Do you know where the king butcher lives?" ”

The guy said, "In ......"

Before he could say anything, Li Rizhi made a gesture and motioned for the guy not to say it yet, and he smiled: "Let me guess, he should live in the east of the city, or the north of the city, right?" ”

The guy Hadi Yile said: "You guessed wrong, it's in the northeast of the city, well, it's about the same anyway, the east and north you said are all on the side!" ”

Li Rizhi was also happy, and said: "I guessed wrong, I really bothered tonight, and I talked to you for half a day, delaying your work!" ”

The guy smiled: "It's okay, anyway, I'm bored and panicked when I'm alone, talking to you, even if it's a relief from boredom!" ”

Li Rizhi waved his hand at Fu Guibao and said, "Take a lot of money to this little brother and let him buy a glass of wine to drink!" With that, he turned around and went out of the house, leaving the carriage and horse shop.

Fu Guibao immediately took out a bunch of money from his arms and threw it to the guy, the guy took the money, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and when Li Rizhi went out and walked a long way, he came back to his senses, chased out of the gate, and shouted: "Little boy, will you come tomorrow night?" ”

Fu Guibao asked Li Rizhi: "Where are we going?" ”

"Go to the king's butcher's house!" Li Ri knows.

Fu Guibao asked again: "If you ask your buddy, why don't you ask directly, you have to beat around the bush, so that he doesn't even know that he is being interrogated?" Isn't it faster and easier to ask directly! ”

Li Rizhi turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "If the guy has a sense of vigilance, even if he doesn't lie, he will be biased when he answers the questions, and even some questions he doesn't lie, but he doesn't answer them, so he will often not be able to ask valuable words!" ”

"This is a skill for questioning, where did you learn it?"

"If you treat people all day long, and you meet the kind of people who are taboo about medical treatment, if you don't master some skills, then you really can't ask what is wrong, and if there are more people who ask, you will naturally ask!" Li Ri knows.

They went northeast of the city, but it was not known where the king's family lived.

On the way, Fu Guibao asked again: "How did you guess that Wang Tuhu's family lives in this direction?" ”

"I'm just guessing, if you think that the king butcher is suspicious, then, the headless corpse was thrown in the southwest of the city, then the king butcher should be the farthest away from the place where the corpse is abandoned, he can't go out of the city at night, and he has to abandon the corpse, of course, the farther away the better, it is impossible to throw it near home!"

Fu Guibao listened to it and was greatly impressed, this time it was really admired, not the kind that he said casually, he said: "You are amazing, but if you can be a little more powerful, it will be even better, for example, if you can guess where the Wang butcher lives, then I will completely convince you!" ”

Li Rizhi looked around and said, "Well, it's a bit difficult, after I get the place, I can guess!" ”

After walking for a while, I came to a chaotic civilian area, there are no tall residences here, they are all small single-family houses, looking at the appearance of the residences, it is not very cold, but it is just a little messy, so this is a place for civilians to live, but it is not a slum.

This place is quite big, along the side street, after walking for a while, Li Rizhi pointed to a house in front of him and said: "If my expectations are right, Wang Tuhu's family should live there, even if it is not his family, then this family must know Wang Tuhu's home and where he lives!" ”

Fu Guibao immediately stopped, was amazed, and asked, "Why, why does the Wang Butcher's family live here?" ”

"Nonsense, didn't you see that there was a curtain hanging on the door of that house, and a sheep's head was painted on the curtain!" Li Rizhi said with a smile, and then he said: "That sheep's head is really ugly!" ”

Fu Guibao sighed and muttered: "Draw a sheep's head, is it a butcher?" No wonder, no wonder everyone often says that painting a sheep's head to sell dog meat is a more ugly painting, if someone comes to it and says that he bought dog meat at the price of mutton, he can justify that the curtain was originally painted with a dog's head! ”

"It's selling dog meat on the head of a sheep!" Li Rizhi said.

The two slowed down and slowly walked to the door of the Wang Butcher's house, but at this time they were not sure that this was the Wang Butcher's house, and Li Rizhi shouted inside: "Is this the place to help kill sheep?" ”

As soon as the door of the house in the courtyard opened, a burly man came out, this big man was more than nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and huge hands, looking like two small fans!

The burly man said: "Yes, however, I won't collect sheep today, and I won't slaughter sheep, please be early tomorrow!" ”

"How much do I have to give you to help kill a sheep?" Li Rizhi asked.

The burly man opened the courtyard door, and when he saw that the two teenagers outside were not leading the sheep, he frowned and said, "The head of the sheep, and the whole sheep into the water, if you sell the sheep to me, then I will pay for the whole sheep!" ”

What he meant was that if he was asked to kill the sheep, the owner of the sheep would not get the whole sheep, but if he sold the sheep, he would pay the price of the whole sheep, and it would be cost-effective for the owner of the sheep to sell the sheep, and it would be cost-effective for him to buy the sheep and kill them and sell the meat.

Li Rizhi sighed and said, "May I ask what you call you, your surname?" ”

"What's not expensive, my surname is Wang, living in this kind of place, the surname can't be expensive!" The burly man snorted twice.

Li Rizhi asked again: "My family is a sick sheep, I can't rush over, do you have a wheelbarrow, I tied the sheep to the car, and then pushed it over!" ”

Wang Butcher shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the wheelbarrow broke down a few days ago, and I haven't had time to repair it, so I can't borrow it, or you can borrow it from others!" ”

Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao stepped back together, and Li Rizhi knew: "Okay, then let's go to another house!" ”

The two turned and left, the burly man looked like a dangerous man, and they didn't want to stay here for long!
