Chapter 100: Drama in the Hall
In the evening of winter, the wilderness lacks the croaking of frogs in summer and autumn, but the sound of the sparkling river crashing on the shore is clearer.
On a boat, Zhang Dagui, who was holding the boat, looked at Dong Ce and Yan Liu, who were sitting at each other, from time to time.
"I didn't kill people, but ......." Yan Liugang opened his mouth to say a word, but he stopped talking.
Dong Ce said calmly: "Since you didn't kill it, I will definitely help you explain it to the yamen!" β
When Yan Liu heard this, he glanced at Dong Ce in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You...... Why do you believe me? Still want to help me? β
"Do you need a reason to help someone? If you have to ask me to find a reason, I can only say that it is for myself, and even more so to fill hundreds of mouths of my teachings. β
Yan Liu was silent, Dong Ce didn't speak anymore, the sun was setting, the boat entered the city from the river, and arrived at the small ferry at the back of the art garden, Yan Liu saw that Dong Ce was about to get up and get off the boat, and suddenly said: "I agree to your request, but you must keep your promise, let me bury my mother, and then go to prison!" β
Dong Ce turned around and looked at Yan Liu, and said, "This request is not excessive, you don't need to beg me, as long as you turn yourself in, the master of the government will definitely meet your request." β
Yan Liu raised his eyes and looked at the sky, his eyes were like fiery clouds in the sky in an instant.
Under the escort of Wu Sheng and the three teenagers, Yan Liu left the art garden and walked towards the mansion.
Zhang Dagui looked at their backs, couldn't help it, and said to Dong Ce's back: "Perhaps, his mother is still alive!" β
When he said this, Zhang Dagui was very timid.
Although he was a little clever, he was a person who realized it later, and it wasn't until Yan Liu was brought back by Dong Ce that he gradually clarified his thoughts and understood that all this was the sect leader's strategy! Then it is very likely that Yan Liu's mother is still alive, but because the sect mainly uses Yan Liu, it ......
Now, the Zhang family relies on the art garden to support them, and Zhang Dagui really doesn't dare to anger Dong Ce!
Glancing at Zhang Dagui, Dong Ce knew what he was thinking, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Do you want others to live well, or do you want yourself to live well?" β
"Of course it's yourself!" Zhang Dagui didn't want to think about it.
"That's it!"
As soon as Dong Ce finished speaking, Zhang Dagui said impatiently: "But there is no other way?" β
"Yes!" Dong Ce nodded, but continued: "But why don't I use the best, but choose the most troublesome?" β
"But Yan Liu's ......"
Without waiting for Zhang Dagui to finish speaking, Dong Ce's face turned dark, and he said in a deep voice: "Can you not be naΓ―ve, Yan Liu's mother's life is fate, what is the fate of the eight guests who died?" If you don't kill Wei Zheng, there will be more innocent people implicated in the future, if you don't quickly reorganize the art garden, what will you do, do you count on Taiping Dao? β
Zhang Dagui was speechless, as the sect leader said, Yan Liu's mother is innocent, but because his son took a detour, this can't be complained about others, and those guests who just came to see the scene and gave their lives, how can their grievances be calmed?
"Those gangsters can kill innocent people at will, and they won't care about Yan Liu's mother's life anymore!" Zhang Dagui can only comfort himself like this.
The old man of Jinling Mansion is surnamed Qin Mingqi, but this person is not even forty years old, his father is still an official in Beijing, and the official worships the Zhongshu Order, and he is also one of the four people who came out of the Hanmen to become a big official from the founding of Daning to the present, and now he is the only one who is still in power, and the Qin family, a big scholar in Jinling Mansion, rose because of him!
However, although the Qin family has become a family of scholars, it is still very low-key and does not monopolize too many industries, but even so, its family business is far beyond what people can imagine!
Qin Qi is still young, naturally he wants to make a big show all the time, after all, his father is old, if he returns to his hometown, no one in the Qin family will be able to speak in Beijing, which is extremely deadly, because it indicates the decline of a scholar clan, and after the death of the older generation, the family will be torn apart, and someone else will soon replace him.
Therefore, Qin Qi has always wanted to get a chance to make great contributions, originally the previous flood was an opportunity for him, but the Qin family can only be regarded as an upstart, and the strength is still very weak, under the pressure of Taiping Dao, he does not dare to go too far, and can only watch the opportunity slip away from his eyes.
Now, when Fang Mu recommended Dong Ce to help solve the case, after the two had a long talk, Qin Qi knew that the opportunity had come!
However, he didn't have much hope at first, thinking that Dong Ce was just rhetoric, after all, he was too young, how could he know everything?
But he was not stupid, he didn't refuse, he just proposed a deadline and cooperated with Dong Ce to perform the show.
Now hearing that Yan Liu actually went to the yamen to surrender, Qin Qi was so excited that he almost forgot to put on his official robe and rushed out to try the case!
"Bang!" As soon as there was a startling sound, Qin Qi suppressed his excitement, and said majestically and coldly: "Who is in the hall?" β
"Grass people Yan Liu!" Yan Liu knelt on the ground and said.
"Bold!" Qin Qi couldn't help but pat himself again, and said coldly: "You murderer, you dare to think of yourself as a grass people, you really don't know the guilt at all!" β
Yan Liu was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again: "Go back to the mansion to order the eldest master, grass ...... The sin of the sinners! The sentens told the truth, hoping that the eldest master would spare the sinners' lives. β
"Well, tell me, why did you commit murder? And it's still the fast catch of this house! β
"The sinners didn't kill anyone! The eldest lord ......," Yan Liu immediately defended.
"Nonsense, you didn't kill anyone, why did you abscond? Besides, this government has already sent someone to collect evidence, if you don't recruit it again, this government will be punished and served! Qin Qi said coldly.
Yan Liu's heart was cold, and he hurriedly told the truth: "The sinner did not kill anyone, the murderer was someone else, and the sinner just helped them throw away the corpse." β
"Huh?" Qin Qi raised his eyebrows and frowned, "You said it clearly!" β
"Here's the thing, half a month ago, a red-robed boy came to me and gave me a sum of money to let me throw the body in the designated river, at that time the sin did not agree, but he sent someone to arrest the sinner's mother and threatened the sinner, the sin had no choice but to agree, but after the first time, the sinner could no longer get away from them, he was forced to throw the body again and again, the sinner really didn't kill anyone!"
"I see, do you know the person who threatened you to throw the corpse? Who is his last name? Who? Qin Qi asked.
Yan Liu immediately shook his head again and again, saying that he didn't know.
Just when Qin Qi was about to get angry, Fang Mu on the side stepped forward, turned to face Qin Qi and hugged his fists and said: "Report to the Qin Mansion's order, the lowly official seems to have heard of this person, can you allow the lowly position to interrogate one or two?" β
Qin Qi's eyes flashed with cunning, and he pretended to be surprised: "Oh! Mr. Fang actually knows, very good, you can ask, if it is one person, bring it to me immediately! β
"Yes!" Fang Mu promised, and began to talk to Yan Liu about the appearance characteristics of a red-robed son, hearing Yan Liu's constant nodding, he said again and again: "Yes, yes, it's him, it's him......"
Before the two of them finished speaking, Qin Qi was already impatient and said: "Since it is, then give this mansion a quick arrest and come back for trial!" β
"Yes!" Fang Mu immediately clenched his fists and said yes, turned around and beckoned the group of catchers to rush out of the mansion.
The whole thing seems reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is weird everywhere, but no one cares about these at the moment, because the three most important people in the hall are singing a good show that cannot be exposed!
