Chapter Eighty-Eight: One by One

Li Rizhi listened to Wu Eryou's answer, looked at the two apprentices again, and said: "According to what you said, that is, Wu Dayou has been away from home for a few days, and no one knows where he went, or whether he has left home or not, whether he has been on the second floor and has not gone downstairs, this is something you can't verify, right?" ”

Wu Eryou's mouth opened wide in surprise, he really didn't think about whether Wu Da left home or not, in fact, saying that Wu Da had left home to collect grain, he also heard from others, it was these two apprentices, so it couldn't be confirmed from him!

The two apprentices thought for a long time, they were both a little confused, the master is leaving home, what is there to hide, why did he stay upstairs and not go downstairs?

An apprentice said: "It was the master who said that the master went out, and we haven't been on the second floor in the past few days, so I don't know if the master has been staying upstairs!" ”

Another apprentice said: "The master should go out, the master can't lie to us!" ”

Li Rizhi was noncommittal about their answers, and asked again: "You two suddenly found out that the master and the master died together this morning, right?" You don't even know when the master came back, do you? When you found the master and the master, they were already out of breath, and it was impossible to save them, right? ”

He asked three times in a row if it was right, and the two apprentices opened their mouths wide, as if their minds could not turn for a while, and after a while, the first apprentice replied, "All right!" ”

But the second apprentice said: "At that time, the master and the master should have been out of breath, and it was impossible to save them, the villain thought it was right, but it wasn't really impossible to save it, this is not clear, neither of us was saved!" ”

Speaking of this, the two apprentices were equally ashamed, they were panicked at the time, they both thought that Wu Dayou and Pan must be dead, and hurriedly called someone to come and see, and they didn't think about going over to help the master and the master at all.

Li Rizhi asked again: "You two thought that the master and the master were dead, so even if you didn't save them, you didn't actually go over to check how they died, right?" ”

The two apprentices didn't hesitate this time, they nodded together, this is the case, they just saw the situation on the second floor at that time, and they were already scared, and went up to see how the person died, this is impossible, they have neither that kind of courage, nor that kind of idea.

Li Rizhi asked again: "You two are the ones who ran to the street to call, right?" Who was the first to come over at that time? ”

"It's the princess, the princess who opened the tea soup on the street!" The two apprentices replied together.

"Who's the second?"

"It's the shopkeeper of Simon's crude medicine shop!" The two apprentices replied together, and it seemed that they were certainly not lying.

"And after that, who's the third person?" Li Rizhi asked again.

At this time, the answers of the two apprentices began to diverge, and one of the apprentices said: "It's Brother Yun who sells melons and fruits, and he is the third to arrive!" ”

But another apprentice said, "Everyone came at that time, so I couldn't tell who was the third!" Ah, you said it was Brother Yun, he seems to be the third, but there were already a lot of people here at that time, and he came with everyone! ”

Li Rizhi hummed and said, "That is to say, the first to arrive, the most concerned about your Wuji steamed cake shop is the shopkeeper of Ximen, and Mrs. Wang, do they live far away?" ”

An apprentice replied: "Wang Po lives the farthest, I don't know how she was the first to run over, the shopkeeper of the West Gate is closer, he is the second to arrive, it is normal, it is not particularly concerned, I usually don't see what he has to do with the master and the master." ”

Wu Eryou was stupid when he heard it, he didn't think of so many questions, he didn't expect it, but after Li Rizhi sorted it out like this, and then asked one question after another, he suddenly found that it should be possible to find out who killed the brother and sister-in-law.

Zheng Gangling sat in the hall, smiled and touched his beard, he was relieved, his nephew is still thoughtful, sober-minded, and methodical in asking questions, so it's good, the eldest nephew has a bright future, and he must be better than himself.

Li Rizhi asked this, paused, thought for a while, and asked again: "Wang Po was the first to run, did she go upstairs, did she go upstairs by herself, did she knock over anything, and what was her performance like at that time?" ”

This time the two apprentices were stupid again, this question was not easy for them to answer, one of the apprentices said: "Wang Po ran very fast at the time, and went directly into the store, and it seemed that she asked us two words, but she was too panicked at the time, and she didn't pay attention to what she asked." ”

Another apprentice said: "She went upstairs, she went upstairs by herself, but soon she screamed and ran down again, what she did upstairs, the villain did not know, did not follow upstairs at that time." ”

Li Rizhi nodded and said, "It's that this princess has been with your master and sister for a while, if your master and sister were still saved at that time, or what she did to your master and sister, or what she did to the murder scene on the second floor, you don't know, right?" ”

"That's right, right?" One of the apprentices said, and the other hesitated before nodding.

Wu Er sighed, he thought to himself: "Could it be my brother and sister-in-law who was killed by Wang Po?" This is unlikely, not to mention that my sister-in-law is stronger than her, my brother is even more powerful, it is almost impossible for Wang Po to harm them, maybe there is another hidden reason? ”

"And what about Simon's shopkeeper?" Li Rizhi changed the same question to the shopkeeper of Ximen and asked it again.

At this time, the two apprentices answered quickly, and one of the apprentices said: "The shopkeeper of the West Gate waited in the shop for a while, and when the princess ran down, he went up, and he stayed for a while, and then he came down, and his expression was ...... My face was very white, I was very panicked, and I almost fell down when I went downstairs! ”

Another apprentice said: "What the shopkeeper of Simon did upstairs, the villain didn't know, we were both calling outside the store at the time, and we didn't follow in." ”

When Wu Eryou heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "You two fools, you actually let both of you go upstairs separately, and then you don't know anything, you two waste, in addition to eating, what else will you do?" ”

"Will be hungry!" The two apprentices replied in unison, they were very surprised, the same question, Pan also asked them, why do people in the martial arts family like to ask this question?

Zheng Gangling, who was sitting in the hall, laughed angrily at the two of them, shook his head and said, "These are really two fools!" So, the official came to ask the two of you, and the neighbors who came later, did anyone go upstairs alone? ”

The two apprentices thought about it, and shook their heads, and there were more people coming, so they also entered the store together, and at that time the store was in a mess, and no one could have the opportunity to go upstairs alone.

When Li Rizhi heard this, he sighed and said: "I blamed classmate Wu for destroying the scene just now, but now I find out that he is wrongly blamed, it is these two people who destroy the scene, they are now suspected of murder, look at them!" ”

The two apprentices were taken aback, they didn't understand, it was they who found out that the master and the master were killed, and it was also the people they called to help, how did it become that they were suspicious, even if someone else wanted to harm the master and the master, they would not be harmed, and they were still counting on eating rice in the steamed cake shop!

Look at their expressions and disagree, but what's the use of them being unconvinced, now they are suspicious!

Li Ri knew: "You two have been alone with Wu Dayou and the Pan family, maybe it was the two of you who killed the master and the master, and then the thief shouted to catch the thief, pretended to be pitiful, pretended to be innocent, and then called a large group of people to completely destroy the scene, so that the government could not solve the case, and the two of you could get away with it!" ”

There can be many ways to say it, and what Li Rizhi is saying now is not necessarily right, but under the premise that the two apprentices can't produce evidence to prove their innocence, even if this is not necessarily true, it is not necessarily wrong, especially when scaring the faint of heart, this kind of thing is the best.

The two apprentices shouted that they were wronged, but Li Rizhi said: "Whether it is really wronged, you don't need to defend it now, when you arrive at the scene, I will let you recall it in detail, and the more clues you find for the government, the more you can prove your innocence." ”

Li Rizhi said to Wu Er again: "Classmate Wu, who notified you that your brother and sister-in-law were killed, can go so far to inform you, and can help you transport the corpse so quickly, this is a big favor, I believe, it must not be these two fools!" ”

Wu Er nodded and said: "It's not them, it's Brother Yun, Brother Yun who sells melons and fruits, he borrowed a horse and rushed to the academy to find me, and the two of us rode back together, and then he borrowed a carriage and pulled my brother and sister-in-law to the county office, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived so soon!" ”

"Is this Brother Yun here?" Li Rizhi asked, he saw that there were no extra people in the hall, so Brother Yun should be outside the yamen, among the people watching the excitement.

Sure enough, Wu Er said: "Brother Yun is outside, he has to take care of the carriage, the carriage is borrowed, if it is lost, he can't afford to pay it, of course, I won't let him pay, I will pay it!" ”

Li Ri knew: "A carriage is not cheap, you better not talk big about it yet, whether the money left by your brother and sister-in-law has been swept away, this is still between the two words!" ”

He turned his head and said, "Uncle, let that Brother Yun come into the court, let me ask him!" ”

Zheng Gangling waved his hand, Zhang Lao Liu immediately strode out of the court, he stood in the courtyard, and said, "Which one is Brother Yun, please come into the hall, I have something to ask you." ”

At this time, someone outside replied: "The villain is Brother Yun, I've been listening!" As he spoke, a person squeezed in from the crowd, it was Brother Yun, who was selling melons and fruits.

Brother Yun followed Zhang Lao Liu into the court, Brother Yun knelt down, and knelt next to Wu Eryou, he said: "Villain Brother Yun, meet the county commander." ”

Zheng Gang ordered: "Your name is Brother Yun, is your brother's brother?" ”

Brother Yun hurriedly said: "If you go back to the county order, the villain doesn't know which brother it is, since he was a child, his family was poor, and his parents didn't give the villain a big name, because the villain has a younger brother, so the family usually calls the villain a little brother, and calls the younger brother a little brother, and when the villain grows up, he will be called Brother Yun, and the county order will be called the villain Yun Xiaoge!" ”

"Well, you're quite articulate, you sell melons and fruits, and you have a good relationship with the martial family, so if something happens to the martial family, you can help so wholeheartedly?" Li Rizhi asked.

Brother Yun turned his head and knew to Li Ri: "If you go back to Gongzi, the villain and Wu Dalang usually have little contact, the villain has a relationship with Wu Erlang, and it was Wu Erlang who told the villain that it is risky to sell fresh fruits, so it is better to make some preserved fruits to sell, the villain thinks this idea is very good, and he is grateful, so after the accident, he tried his best to help." ”

Wu Eryou also said: "Brother Yun is kind-hearted, thanks to his help this time." ”

Li Rizhi nodded, and said: "Brother Yun, if I ask you now, I don't think I can ask anything, your memory may be biased, but if you go to the second floor of the martial arts family and ask after you see the situation, can you answer truthfully?" ”

"The villain must answer truthfully!" Brother Yun was busy, but after hesitating for a moment, he said again: "But the villain didn't see anything special, in fact, Gongzi doesn't ask the villain, it's the same when he asks others." ”

Brother Yun has been listening outside the door, so how did Li Rizhi ask the three people in the hall, he heard it clearly, so he gave such an answer.

Li Rizhi shook his head, and then rushed to the hall and said, "Uncle, tell you to come up and examine the body!" ”
