Chapter 129: Avoiding It
The late autumn sun shines on people's faces, giving people a warm feeling, but everyone's expressions are nervous and worried.
Li Jingdao, as an observer and disposal envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao, has great power, and his subordinates have military power, so if he is angered, it is not fun.
But everyone knows that when Su Wuming encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely not sit idly by, and it is very likely that even if he knows that there is danger, he will rush forward desperately.
Everyone glanced at each other, and in the end, it was Wen Wan'er who spoke first: "We are all in favor of Xianggong wanting to uphold justice for Shen Yi, but judging from the current situation, if you want to take Li Tongfufa, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" ”
Su Wuming didn't understand this, it stands to reason that Li Tong Jianyin Lan'er, as long as Lan'er can testify, he Su Wuming can immediately send someone to arrest Li Tong, but now that Lan'er is dead, just a few words from Shen Yi can't constitute evidence.
Therefore, if this matter is to be resolved, it must be considered in the long run.
After settling Shen Yi, Su Wuming and the others were about to go back, and at this time, the owner of the coffin shop said with some embarrassment: "Master Su, this is ...... This coffin has not been found, is it ......"
"You can rest assured that even if Lord Ben has a murder case to deal with now, your affairs will definitely not be left behind."
Su Wuming's words relieved the owner of the coffin shop, and after nodding his head again and again, he separated from Su Wuming and the others.
Su Wuming and the others were on the way, and Nangong Yan asked: "This matter, should we discuss it with Qian Sheng, he ignored this matter, and he should really teach him a good lesson." ”
Tang Xiong also has this thought: "As the commander of Qiantang County, he doesn't do things for the people, so he is so timid, and he can't teach him a lesson." ”
Su Wuming thought about it carefully and said: "This Qian Sheng is indeed not suitable to be a parent official, but now we can't go to him, he is a timid and afraid person, we went to find him, he must go to report to Li Tongfeng to curry favor with Li Jingdao, I don't think it's better like this, and after we have full evidence, it's not too late to tell him." ”
Everyone felt that Su Wuming was very thoughtful, and decided to do what he said, but what they needed to do most now was to find evidence of Li Tongjianyin Lan'er.
It is not difficult to find evidence, Li Tong molested Lan'er that day, there must have been many people present, if these people are willing to testify, then the murder case will be established.
For this reason, Su Wuming sent Jiang Ying, Lin Yun and Tang Xiong to find the witnesses at that time, and after the three of them received the order, they hurriedly ran away.
In the afternoon, the autumn wind was more raging, the leaves in the courtyard of Sufu were withering badly, even the chrysanthemums had bloomed, and the eyes were full of desolation, Su Wuming stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky, and suddenly a sadness was born in his heart, I don't know if it was because of this late autumn scene, or the thing he encountered this morning.
And just when Su Wuming was feeling this way, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun rushed back one after another, when they came back, their faces were displeased, Su Wuming saw this, his heart sank again, he seemed to have expected it earlier.
"Didn't find anyone?"
Jiang Ying glanced at Lin Yun, Lin Yun glanced at Tang Xiong again, Tang Xiong couldn't hold back the most, and said, "Brother Su, people have found it, but they are unwilling to testify, saying...... It is said that he is afraid of Li Jingdao's forces, which is really hateful. ”
Su Wuming sighed, he should have expected it earlier, these people didn't dare to make a move when Li Tong was teasing Lan'er, how could they dare to testify now?
Seeing the injustice, these things have always only happened in everyone's ideal society, and in reality, there are very few people who can do this.
After this incident, Su Wuming felt that it was necessary for him to promote some chivalrous spirit in the future, even if he was not for the country and the people, at least when he encountered injustices, he could help, and he always had to help.
After preaching chivalrous things, Su Wuming felt that the most important thing for him to do now was how to get those witnesses to speak and how to bring Li Tong to justice.
I am afraid it will be a little difficult to find those witnesses again, after all, there are many people in the world who protect themselves, for their own safety, how can they really put the righteousness in front of them? What's more, they are just ordinary people, how do you ask them to understand the righteousness?
After thinking about it, Su Wuming felt that it was better to meet Li Tong.
When Su Wuming proposed to go to see Li Tong, Nangong Yan was a little surprised and said, "Going to see Li Tong, isn't it equivalent to startling the snake?" ”
"It's not like that, as long as we don't cut grass!"
Everyone glanced at each other and somewhat understood.
After discussing like this, Su Wuming took Jiang Ying to the Li Mansion, the reason why he only brought Jiang Ying alone was because Jiang Ying was usually the most stable, even if he hated that Li Tong to death in his heart, he would never show it on his face, but Nangong Yan and Tang Xiong couldn't do this, in order not to startle the snake, it was naturally the most appropriate to take Jiang Ying there.
After the two of them came to the Li Mansion to report their names, Li Tong greeted him with a smile, Su Wuming's name in Qiantang County is unknown, and now Su Wuming came to his Li Mansion, which can be described as a great honor.
Li Tong welcomed Su Wuming and Jiang Ying to the living room to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Lord Su is famous, and I have heard of it for a long time, but I don't know how Lord Su suddenly remembered me here?" ”
Su Wuming smiled lightly: "That's the case, this official came to the Jianghuai area to solve the mystery on the order of the emperor, and when he first came, he was going to meet Li Jingdao and Lord Li, but in order to avoid being suspected, he didn't go at the beginning, and now the official has lived in Qiantang for half a year, if you don't go, it will be a little inappropriate, you are Lord Li's nephew, what do you want to like about Lord Li, it's the clearest, right?" ”
Hearing Su Wuming's intention, Li Tong smiled again and again: "Uncle, he usually loves me the most, I know all his hobbies, Master Su is looking for me, but I can be regarded as finding the right person." ”
Su Wuming glanced at Jiang Ying and said with a faint smile: "It seems that we are looking for Li Gongzi, there is really nothing wrong with it!" ”
"That's, whatever gift you want to give to my uncle, I'll help you do it!"
The two talked about Li Jingdao's preferences, and then, Su Wuming asked with a smile: "Li Gongzi is handsome and talented, why don't you become an official in the court, but be an idle son in this Qiantang County?" ”
Because Su Wuming's attitude has always been very good, and occasionally there are traces of stuttering, so at this time, Li Tong was completely wary of Su Wuming, and said: "Master Su, don't you know, what's so good about being an official?" Let's not say that I'm not suitable to be an official, but when I become an official, I am restricted by some rules everywhere, which is too boring, and I am not as relaxed as me. ”
"This is also true, Li Gongzi's uncle is an observer and disposal envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao, you just don't have an official rank, and your identity is very different."
The two talked again, and after saying this, Su Wuming got up and said goodbye.
And just as Su Wuming left, Li Tong suddenly withdrew his smile, waved his hand slightly, and suddenly a person came out from behind the curtain, the man knelt on one knee and arched his hand: "Childe, what are your orders?" ”
"It's strange that Su Wuming came to my mansion, you go and investigate, and see what the reason is why he came to my mansion."
"Childe, didn't Su Wuming say just now, he wants to give a gift to Master Li, and he is here to ask!"
Li Tong snorted coldly: "You know a fart, Su Wuming is like a god in judging cases, and he is even more honest as an official, how can he go to slap my uncle, and he came to me to inquire first, he came to the house, something must have happened, could it be ......" Li Tong said this, his expression suddenly tightened, and he asked again and again: "Li An, you go to investigate and see how the little lady is doing half a month ago." ”
This Li An seems to be Li Tong's confidant, so when Li Tong said the little lady half a month ago, he knew that he was referring to that Lan'er, and after knowing who it was, he bowed his hand slightly, got up and retreated.
However, after Su Wuming and Jiang Ying left the Li Mansion, Jiang Ying asked: "My lord, you are polite with Li to avoid being noticed by him, I can understand this, but I can tell him this, but I didn't ask anything?" ”
Su Wuming was silent at first, and after a long time, he smiled lightly: "It's not that I didn't ask anything, from Li Tong's conversation, I found that he seems to be a person without a city government on the surface, but in fact he is very shrewd. ”
"This ......" Jiang Ying had already asked one after another, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Su Wuming said as he walked: "I didn't want to startle the snake, but now that Li Tong has noticed it, I don't think it's okay to startle the snake, go back first, and after I go back, I'll talk about what to do." ”
The two quickened their pace, and after returning home, Nangong Yan immediately came out and asked, "Did the investigation come out of anything?" ”
"It's a snake to start!"
"Ah, how is that good?"
Su Wuming smiled: "It's very easy to do, I'll go to the county government later, find Qian Sheng to talk about it, and you go to find eyewitnesses, and then find someone to protect Shen Yi secretly." ”
After Su Wuming finished speaking, everyone was a little puzzled, and Wen Wan'er hurriedly asked: "Xianggong, didn't you say that you can't tell Qian Sheng about this matter for the time being, why do you go to him now, and besides, those eyewitnesses are unwilling to testify, what can we do if we find them?" ”
Everyone had the same doubts as Wen Wan'er, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Let's do what I say, there are no witnesses, let's just find witnesses, okay, let's do what I say!" ”
After listening to Su Wuming's words, everyone suddenly understood that what Su Wuming asked them to do was not to find any eyewitnesses to testify, but to witness witnesses, whether they found it or not, as long as they went to find it.
Since the grass has already startled the snake, why not beat the grass more wildly, and make the snake in the grass nervous until this poisonous snake shows its flaws.
The words fell, and the autumn wind swirled three points and seven broken intestines.
