Hu Ran had been thinking about this all along, and when he was asked by Luo Yi, he didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "Master Hou, I don't think this matter should be done by someone from the government, who would have such courage." Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info maybe... Maybe Liu San offended someone, or.... ”

Luo Yi interrupted him and said with a sarcastic smile: "You don't want to say that Liu San has a grudge against us Drunken Immortal Residence, and I sent someone to do this, right?" ”

Hu Ran smiled: "Hehe... I didn't say that. ”

"However, Master Hou, you are indeed very suspicious, your Drunken Immortal House does have a grudge against Haoyue Restaurant, and it is not impossible to do this kind of thing."

Luo Yi said: "Don't forget, what you found at the scene was not drunken immortal wine, but a horizontal knife, which was something from your mansion." ”

"I won't say anything else, you know, I understand, let's not intrigue, I can tell you very responsibly, you have nothing to do with this matter, you're finished!"

There were also Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong in the room, Zhao Wenxian laughed softly: "Lord Hu, in fact, there is something you don't know, on the night you committed the crime, I have been in Haoyue Restaurant, and I saw with my own eyes that you killed Liu San's whole family, and there are more than 60 people in the backyard, I believe... You wouldn't deny that, would you? Moreover, I also know that the horizontal knife left in the courtyard is yours, you have used it before, but now you are in a high position, so you rarely take it out again, and not many people know about it. ”

The horizontal knife was originally stolen by Zhao Wenxian from Hu Ran's room, so he knew it very clearly.

Hu Ran looked shocked, when he was in the courtyard before, he found that the horizontal knife was a little familiar, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and at this time, he thought about it, the horizontal knife was really his.

"You... You, you framed me and put my things in that yard? ”

Hu Ran suddenly got up and said with a sudden realization.

Zhao Wenxian: "You saw it?" Who can prove it? ”

Luo Yi also said: "Yes, who can prove it?" ”

Hu Ran said: "Although no one can prove it, this is the truth, what do you want to do?" ”

"Master Hou, I haven't offended you, I received 50,000 taels from you, but I returned it to you before, you don't want it, why can't you get along with me."

It is not easy for a dignified Jiangnan Provincial Festival envoy to have whispered to this point.

Luo Yi wanted to get back the 50,000 taels justifiably, and he doubled it back, but he wouldn't admit it: "It's just 50,000 taels, I haven't seen it yet, your knife is not made by me, let alone Zhao Wenxian, he just witnessed everything in Haoyue Restaurant that night, as for how the horizontal knife got to Haoyue Restaurant, we don't know." Do you do it yourself or not, you know in your heart, the clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid, what are you worried about? ”

Hu Ran said: "What Hou Ye means, is it true and false, and it can't be fake, I am dead this time?" ”

Although the words were a bit excessive, Luo Yi didn't want to admit it, but it was really the case, if Luo Yi didn't help, Hu Ran would really be dead, and no one could save him.

Luo Yi was too lazy to talk to Hu Ran, and said directly: "If what I expected is good, if I can't wait for tomorrow, Li Hengbin will find out that the horizontal knife is something you have used, you should think about it, what to do to deal with this crisis." ”

Hu Ran stood up and walked around the house, thinking of a way irritably.

At this time, as Luo Yi said, if Li Hengbin grabbed the horizontal knife and tracked it down, maybe he could really find out the truth.

The truth of this matter cannot be made public at all, once exposed, even if he is a festival envoy, he can't afford it, more than 60 living people, all of whom died because of his impulse, as the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, even the Son of Heaven can not be a new cotton, not to mention that he is just a festival envoy.

"How? Figured it out? ”

"Master Hou, I have never offended you, you..."

"You really haven't offended me, but I can't keep secrets, and I've always been very loose-mouthed."

Hu Ran is also a reasonable person, knowing that Luo Yi did this for a purpose, Hu Ran asked: "That... Master Hou, what do you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you, as long as you help me get through this difficult time. ”

"That's what a smart person should say..."

Luo Yi glanced at Zhao Wenxian and said to Hu Ran: "As for what I want and what I need you to do, you can just talk to my assistant Zhao Wenxian, and I will find a way to let Li Hengbin have no time to take care of him, and the case will be hastily concluded." ”

"Really? That's more than 60 lives. ”

"You also know that it is more than 60 lives, but you didn't say anything about it when you made a move, and you were able to do it. Seemingly... You're tougher than me. ”

"Hey, hey... Hou Ye said that he laughed, said that he laughed.... ”

After Luo Yi left, Hu Ran and Zhao Wenxian formally negotiated. Before this, Luo Yi told Zhao Wenxian that what he wanted was not just a mere 50,000, but more.

Hu Ran is a corrupt official, and the money in his hand can be said to be innumerable, this is not only a punishment for Hu Ran, but also a business, which is easier and faster than the money from selling drunken immortal wine.

Luo Yi is not a pedantic person, since he has this right in his hands, why not use it?

Hu Ran discussed with Zhao Wenxian, and Hu Ran did not leave the restaurant until noon, when he left angrily.

And Zhao Wenxian also went downstairs angrily.

Luo Yi had been waiting downstairs, and when he saw Zhao Wenxian coming down, he asked, "How is it?" Did he say yes? ”

Zhao Wenxian said: "This old fox, when he said that he wanted to think about it, he must have a glimmer of hope and wanted to solve it himself." I'm going to see how he solves it, but if he can't solve it, he'll still come to me. ”

Luo Yi was curious: "Then what did you tell him?" What conditions have been proposed? ”

Zhao Wenxian said with a smile: "In addition to what the eldest brother said, 200,000 taels of silver, I added an additional 100,000, and limited him to gather it within ten days and send it to the drunken immortal residence in the south of the city." ”

"Three hundred thousand? Your heart is black enough, does he have so much, I'm worried that he won't be able to take it out. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, this corrupt official will definitely be able to get it."

Zhao Wenxian said: "I don't believe it, Huainan Wu Zhengwen has seven or eight hundred thousand, and he is also a festival envoy, is there not even a mere 300,000?" ”

"Hehe, if we can have 300,000, it will not be in vain for us to come to Jiangnan for nothing, and the money to buy food will also be settled."

It's beautiful to think about, but Luo Yi thinks that Hu Ran may not have so much money. Hu Ran is different from Wu Zhengwen, Wu Zhengwen is in charge of the salt merchants in Huainan, he has a lot of money, and he has a lot of money if he collects a little bit casually, but Hu Ran, although Jiangnan is a rich land, there is no gold and silver like the salt merchants, and it cannot be compared with Wu Zhengwen at all.

said 300,000, if you can really take it out, I'm afraid that you will have to go to Hu Ran's old bottom.

This can be explained, no wonder Hu Ran was angry when he came out, how many dangers he has taken for so many years in order to make money, how many times he has fought for his life, and he has emptied his money and property all at once, how can he not be angry.

...............

After Hu Ran went back, he couldn't relax in his own room, he thought about it and finally went to Li Hengbin's house.

Li Hengbin did not live in the mansion, but in the west of the city, which was the residence assigned to him by the imperial court. Speaking of which, Hu Ran rarely goes there, if it weren't for Liu San's incident this time, it is estimated that he would never go for the rest of his life.

At this time, it was already night, and Hu Ran arrived at the Li Mansion and wandered outside for a long time.

Knock knock...

stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a small doorkeeper opened the door: "Who, let people sleep at night." ”

Hu Ran said: "What about your Lord Changshi, go and report it, and say that the Jiangnan Festival envoy is here." ”

"Ahh The knots make... Your Excellency, please, your Excellency is inside. ”

"Then lead the way."

"Yes."

Following the little man who guarded the door, Hu Ran entered the Li Mansion and walked to the hall, waiting anxiously.

After waiting for a long time, Li Hengbin finally walked in from the outside, and when he saw Hu Ran, he laughed, and he didn't know what he was laughing at, Hu Ran didn't understand, and asked, "Master Li, what are you laughing at?" ”

Li Hengbin sat down and said with a smile: "I was still saying just now that the prisoner who killed someone will definitely be restless and come to my mansion to find out the truth, but I didn't expect you to come, Master Hu." ”

"You... What did you say? ”

Hu Ran was startled, almost sat on the ground, and pointed at Li Hengbin a little speechless.

The other party was obviously talking about him, and suspected that he was the murderer of Liu San.

Although this is the truth, he must not let Li Hengbin have such an idea, if this idea is confirmed, the consequences will be very serious.

Li Hengbin said with a smile: "Jiedu makes adults angry, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously." ”

"But... That horizontal knife is the thing of your government, and this matter has nothing to do with you, I will definitely investigate the case, and the first thing to investigate is your house! ”
