Chapter 89: Tracking the Suspect (1)

"The patriarch had misfortune when he came back from Zhendingfu, and I wrote to him to tell him about the horse, and he hurried back with the goods, even at night, and as a result... As a result, it was ..... shortly after the ship entered Sangshu"

Li Daqi's lips trembled violently, he was about to lose his words, Li Yanqing held his father's cold hand, looked at him calmly, and encouraged him to continue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The patriarch's ship should have encountered an ambush at night, and the two men also died, but the patriarch did not die immediately, and the person who rescued him said that the patriarch only said the word 'Fu' in the end, and he was breathing, and the fatal wound was pierced through the body by a sword."

Li Yanqing paced back and forth, an indescribable anger burning in his chest, he didn't believe that brothers would do such a conscientious thing, but he couldn't explain this coincidence.

Li Wengui made trouble with horses, and his father was forced to ask the patriarch for help, and the patriarch rushed back to Xiangzhou overnight, but was ambushed halfway.

Also, if Li Wengui really wants his own horses, then why did the horse incident not end after threatening his father, Li Wengui did not initiate a family interrogation, nor did he come to the door to forcibly seize the horses, why is this?

Can all this be explained only by the word 'coincidence'?

"Daddy, is Li Wengui here?" Li Yanqing turned around and asked.

Li Daqi nodded and said in a low voice: "He arrived half a day earlier than you, he was in the city at this time, and the patriarch's body was also there, I really didn't want to see him, so I came to the warehouse outside the city." ”

Speaking of this, Li Daqi suddenly realized, looked at his son in disbelief and said, "Qing'er, you don't think that the patriarch is ....."

"Nope! No! No! This is absolutely impossible, although they are not the same mother, but they are also brothers, how can Li Wengui treat his brother to himself.... Qing'er, you can't have this kind of thought! ”

Li Yanqing said unusually calmly: "I will think about it in the best direction, but the patriarch must not be killed in such an unknown way, I will definitely arrest the murderer, slaughter him with my own hands, and use his head to sacrifice the patriarch's spirit in the sky!" ”

Although Li Yanqing's tone was calm, his words were full of powerful thoughts of revenge, as if the murderous aura could not be suppressed in his heart, overflowing in all directions, making Li Daqi shudder a little, he looked at his son blankly, at this moment, he suddenly found that his son had become so strange.

........

The sky was getting a little brighter, Li Yanqing was sitting alone on a small hill not far from the city gate, he was staring at the eastern sky with his knees crossed, his eyes were full of sadness, and the sudden blow was so heavy that he couldn't accept this reality, so much so that he missed the appointment with the fifth watch for the first time in five years.

He remembered the story he had made up to the patriarch five years ago, and he even wanted to find an opportunity to explain and confess the truth to the patriarch, but God deprived him of this opportunity, and he could no longer repay the patriarch's kindness to him over the years.

A kind of resentment and sadness that he had never felt before was blocked in his heart, so that he could not vent it, Li Yanqing stood up and ran hard down the mountain, he ran along the official road without a goal, he just wanted to use the violent running to alleviate the blockage in his chest.....

The day finally dawned, the gate of Anyang County opened, an ox cart slowly drove out of the county gate, a black coffin was placed on the front ox cart, Li Wengui took a few clansmen and men to follow the coffin silently, his eyes were red, the breeze blew the gray hair on his head, he seemed to have aged five years old overnight.

At this time, the ox cart suddenly stopped, as if it was blocked by something, Li Wengui looked ahead in surprise, only to see Li Yanqing standing in the middle of the road, holding a short sword in his hand, staring at himself coldly.

Li Wengui was annoyed in his heart, and rushed forward and asked, "Li Yanqing, what do you want to do?" ”

Li Yanqing said coldly: "I only ask you, where is Liu Chenghong now?" ”

Li Yanqing finally thought of one thing, the word 'Fu' mentioned by the patriarch before his death is very likely to refer to Liu Chenghong's son Liu Fu'er, if this is the case, then Li Wengui will not be able to get rid of it.

Li Wengui was shocked, his face immediately became gloomy, and he snorted: "I don't understand what you're talking about?" Get out of the way quickly, and don't stand in the way of the patriarch's homecoming. ”

Li Yanqing just tested Li Wengui, he saw Li Wengui's abnormal expression, and his heart was even more suspicious, he stood on the side of the road, silently watching the patriarch's coffin drive past him, and finally his eyes fell on Li Wengui.

Li Wengui had calmed down from the gaffe just now, he passed by Li Yanqing's side, reined in his horse, and said coldly to Li Yanqing: "I don't care about you during the patriarch's funeral, but if you dare to act recklessly and speculate indiscriminately, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”

Li Yanqing also stared at his eyes and said-for-tat: "The patriarch's death is unknown, you don't cooperate with the government to solve the case, but you are eager to transport the patriarch back to your hometown, so that the patriarch's death will not be resolved in the end, what are your intentions?" ”

Without waiting for Li Wengui to answer, Li Feng in the back said angrily: "The murderer has already fled, and it is normal for people to send the patriarch back to his hometown, what are you thinking nonsense?" ”

"Really?" Li Yanqing's gaze turned sharply to Li Feng, "How do you know that the murderer has fled, could it be that you know the murderer?" ”

Li Feng was speechless for a while, Li Wengui turned around and glared at the eldest grandson, no longer paying attention to Li Yanqing, and shouted: "Keep going!" ”

The ox cart continued to go south, but Li Yanqing did not follow, but looked at the ox cart and slowly walked away.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yanqing rushed to the dock warehouse again, only to see his father packing his luggage and preparing to return to his hometown to attend the funeral.

"Qing'er, you go back with me!" Li Daqi hadn't slept all night, his eyes were red, and he was really a little tired.

"Daddy told me yesterday that the patriarch came back by ship with goods, but what about the ships and goods?"

Li Daqi shook his head, "The ship is nowhere to be found, and the finest furs worth thousands of taels of silver have also been robbed, hey!" I don't care about that anymore. ”

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Then did the official report it?" ”

"How could such a major murder case not be reported? In fact, it was the government's Lei Catcher who informed us that I was supposed to deal with the government, but after Li Wengui came, he took over the matter of dealing with the government, and I don't know what the situation is like? ”

Although Li Daqi did not dare to suspect that the death of the patriarch was committed by Li Wengui, he also felt a lot of suspicions, and Li Wengui was able to transport the patriarch's body away, which meant that he had closed the case in the official mansion, which really made Li Daqi dissatisfied with Li Wengui, so he became unpolite in his words and began to call him by his name.

Li Yanqing took his horse and turned over on the horse, Li Daqi was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed the reins and persuaded: "Qing'er, don't pursue it again, go back with me to treat the patriarch's funeral!" ”

The other party is a vicious murderer, and he is worried about his son's life.

Li Yanqing bit his lip and said: "If you don't find out the truth, the patriarch will die, don't worry, Daddy, I will never act recklessly." ”

Li Daqi slowly let go of his hand, sighed and said, "I can understand, you wait a minute!" ”

He went back to the house and took out a drawing, handed it to Li Yanqing and said, "Our ship is more distinctive, this is a ship pattern, you should be careful yourself!" ”

Li Yanqing took the pattern and put it in his arms, "I'll go first, Daddy take care all the way!" ”

He rode his horse with both legs, shouted, and the white horse galloped away in the direction of the official road with four hooves, Li Daqi looked at his son's distant back, sighed lowly, and his heart was full of worry.

........

At noon, in the Wanghu Restaurant in Anyang County, Lei Song, the head catcher, walked up to the second floor and was led to Li Yanqing's wine table by his guys, Lei Song was about thirty years old, with a big waist and a round waist, a burly figure, dark skin, and a big beard, looking quite rude, but a pair of eyes flashed shrewdly.

Li Yanqing hugged his fists and saluted and said with a smile: "Thank you Lei Tou for coming as promised!" ”

Lei Song had to deal with a lot of trivial chores every day, and if it weren't for the sake of thirty taels of silver, he wouldn't have paid attention to a teenager.

He waved his hand, a little impatiently said, "Don't say these polite words, the little official is also a relative of Li Wenyou!" ”

"He was my patriarch, but unfortunately he was killed, and I want to know more about his case."

Saying that, Li Yanqing filled Lei Song with a glass of wine, Lei Song drank a glass of wine, and stabilized his impatient temperament a little, "Your patriarch's case is a bit tricky, his brother has already gone through the procedures for closing the case yesterday, of course, we will continue to find the murderer, but if we really can't find out, the family can't make trouble anymore." ”

"Does Lei Zhutou mean that the case is complicated when he says that the case is tricky?"
