Chapter 486: The Coachman of the Former Dong Family
Li Rizhi thought about it, but he didn't shake his head immediately like the others, but said: "This official thinks that this is unlikely, it can almost be said that there is no such thing, but in order to determine this, we can call the shopkeeper You over together, and then ask the servants of the two families separately, and ask each one to see if there is such a thing!" ”
Cheng Zizai said: "The servants of the two families should be regarded as meeting for the first time, and they met on the day of marriage, You Baosu is the young lady of the You family after all, even if the servants of the You family are not sensible, it is impossible to tell the private affairs of their young lady to strangers at this time, and this stranger is still a member of the Dong family, no matter how stupid the servants of the You family are, it is impossible to do such a thing!" ”
At this time, everyone nodded together, and even Dong Chao's brother nodded and said: "In the future, when the relationship is familiar, will you say such a thing, that is not necessarily, but the night before yesterday, at this juncture, I also think that such a thing is unlikely to happen!" ”
Li Rizhi said: "How we think things are and whether things are really the same thing, so let's call everyone over and ask!" Once this possibility is ruled out, the scope of the murderer's search will become small! ”
So the people immediately began to act, and they all asked the servants of the two families separately.
However, it was exactly the same as they expected in advance, and the servants of the You family all denied it, and it was impossible for any of the servants of the You family to make fun of their young lady's private affairs on the night of marriage, after all, this was not a glorious thing.
And the servants of the Dong family also denied it, saying that no one had heard about it, and before that, they didn't know that there was such a person as Wen Dengke!
This is actually an affirmation of Li Rizhi's inference from the side, and the inference is not wrong, at least from the current clues, it is possible to narrow down the scope of the murderer's search.
But when a problem is solved, a new problem arises again, who will be one or several people who know about the You family and the Dong family?
Li Rizhi turned around several times again, until he was dizzy, and then he stopped and said: "Actually, there should be such a person, have you forgotten the hired coachman?"
That old coachman, he is from Qianfeng County, will he know about You Baosu and Wen Dengke, he didn't live in the Dong family that night, but in Yanzhou City, the relative who stayed with him would know the people of the Dong family?
The coachman of the wandering family immediately called him over and asked him if he had ever told the old coachman about the treasure silk! ”
When Wang Jusi heard this, he immediately went to call the coachman of the You family in person, and everyone was nervous at this time.
There was no clue about this case before, so although everyone was anxious, they were like headless flies, and they didn't know which direction to exert their strength, but now once the scope of the murderer is narrowed down and the person who has a relationship with it begins to be specified, once the direction is determined, then everyone's mentality has changed, and they are all more nervous than just now.
After the coachman of the You family was brought, Li Rizhi had a serious expression and said: "You are the coachman of the You family, so you and the old coachman hired are both in this business, you two should have known each other before, have you told the old coachman about You Baosilk?" ”
As soon as Li Rizhi's words came out, the coachman was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously!
Looking at the coachman's expression, even if he didn't say anything, everyone understood that the coachman must have told the story of You Baosilk, and he told the old coachman who came with him.
Sure enough, the coachman said: "The villain has a cheap mouth, and he really told Uncle Mao about this, but he promised like a villain that he would never tell this matter!" ”
After saying this, the coachman regretted it very much, raised his hand and slapped himself, it seems that he really regretted it, but what is the use of regret!
Li Rizhi's eyes immediately widened, and he said, "So, this old coachman is surnamed Mao, right?" Who is that relative of his, and where does he live? ”
At this time, the housekeeper of the Dong family was also present, but he was outside the crowd, and when he heard the coachman of the You family say that the old coachman's surname was Mao, his face suddenly changed!
And the coachman of the You family continued: "Uncle Mao's relative is naturally surnamed Mao, and he used to be a coachman, but it is said that he has not been a coachman for a while, where does this person live, the villain doesn't know, and Uncle Mao hasn't told the villain!" ”
The housekeeper of the Dong family outside the crowd first shouted twice, then squeezed into the crowd, and also knelt down for Li Rizhi with a bang!
He said: "The villain knows where this coachman lives, because he used to be the coachman of our family, and he drove the car for the master, but he made a mistake half a year ago and was kicked out of the house by the master, as for what he is doing now, the villain doesn't know!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and after a long time, the person who knew both the matter of You Baosu and the situation of the Dong family really existed, and he really had something to do with their Dong family, and he also had a grudge against Dong Chao!
Since this person really exists, and all the clues analyzed by Li Rizhi before, it is almost certain that he is him!
Li Rizhi immediately said: "What the hell is going on, it's not too late to talk about it slowly!" Now send someone at once to catch this former coachman, and where he lives, who of you knows? Take someone to catch it now! ”
The housekeeper didn't know where the coachman surnamed Mao lived, so he immediately went out to ask, and the servant of the Dong family was known by someone and told the housekeeper, and Li Rizhi immediately asked the servant to take the catcher and rush to the coachman's house surnamed Mao to arrest people.
After sending people out, Li Rizhi asked, "Housekeeper, does that coachman surnamed Mao have bad breath?" ”
The housekeeper said: "There is some bad breath, but it is not serious, so we usually don't pay much attention, if his bad breath is particularly serious, then it is impossible to let him give my lord a car, although my lord is not a particularly particular person, but if the coachman has severe bad breath, he will definitely not be willing to use, and the villain will not arrange such a coachman for him!" ”
Li Rizhi snorted, as long as it can be proved that the coachman surnamed Mao has bad breath and meets the characteristics of the murderer, then it is fine, as for whether it is serious, this person's opinion is different!
Li Rizhi asked again: "How did he get kicked out by your master, did he make any serious mistakes?" And after he was kicked out, couldn't he find any other way to make a living, so he hated your master very much? ”
The housekeeper thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This villain is not clear, after he was kicked out by my master, there has been no news, so the villain didn't take it seriously, after all, half a year has passed since this incident, and the villain is about to forget about this person."
Specifically, does it mean that there is a deep hatred, and the villain doesn't feel a deep hatred, and it won't be to the point where he wants to kill my master!
He works as a coachman, even if he can't find other jobs, but if he continues to work as a coachman, won't he be able to earn a meal money? ”
Dong Chao's brother shouted angrily: "Don't talk about this nonsense, why was he driven away by my brother?" You make this clear! ”
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, but this embarrassment disappeared in an instant, he said: "This person may have a little problem with his brain, half a year ago he was drunk once, he actually took off his clothes, and then lay down on my lord's car to sleep, not only vomited in the lord's car, but also urinated on it!"
At that time, my lord was about to go out to use the car, but my lord found out, how could such a person continue to use it, of course, he had to be driven away! ”
