Chapter XXVIII
The Li family's house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Long sat on the chair with a pale face, he heard early this morning that Wang Wanli was beaten to death at home, and the neighbors were suspecting that it was his hand.
The question is, he does have this idea, but he hasn't acted yet? Why did the fat man die?
After this incident, his pharmacy opened early in the morning and no one came to buy medicine.
Die and die! It also hurt Lao Tzu to have no business to do. The more Li Long thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, yesterday his son was cut off his fingers, and today the fat man died at home again, and now everyone suspects him.
How unfortunate this is! I haven't done anything! Why did all this bad luck happen to me?
He was taking a sip of tea when he saw a man walking outside the door.
It was an old butler in his mid-fifties.
The old man hurriedly walked over, and said as he walked: "Master, it's not good! Oh no! ”
"What's bad?" Li Long put down the teacup and asked.
He knew that his butler had always been unfazed and had never been so flustered, and at this time, his face couldn't help but become solemn.
"Yamen Ye Zhutou and the patrol battalion, the Lin Zhongjun are coming to us with dozens of men and horses!" The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in horror: "They are rushing, I'm afraid there is something to arrest you, master!" ”
When the housekeeper thought of Wang Wanli's death, and then thought of Li Long and his grievances, it was not difficult to guess what those officers and soldiers were going to do.
Li Long's face turned cold, and he hurriedly said, "You go out from the back door and look for my eldest brother." ”
"The old slave has already asked people to pass on the news."
"That's good!" Hearing that he had already asked someone to pass the news to his eldest brother, Li Long suddenly calmed down. Anyway, he hasn't done anything, do Lin Tongming and those people dare to mess around?
A moment later, Lin Tongming and a man in a fast trapping uniform rushed into the courtyard with dozens of people.
"Search!" Without saying a word, the head catcher gave a direct order.
"Wait!" Li Long was furious when he saw that they were completely ignoring him. But he still squeezed out a little smile on his face, "Ye Zhutou came to my house to search at random for no reason, what do you want to do?" ”
Ye Zhutou snorted and said, "Wang Wanli died at home, you must already know." The head of the captor asked him to examine the body, and found a clue related to you - this is a search warrant. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper.
Hearing him say that there were clues pointing out that he had something to do with Wang Fatzi's death, Li Long's face turned pale with fright, and he roared with a shaking mouth: "I didn't do it, I didn't kill him......"
"Shut up!" Lin Tongming said coldly: "Whether you did it or not, I will find out later." ”
In the middle of the conversation, the soldiers completely ignored Li Long's words and had already dispersed, apparently looking for something.
Soon, a guard ran over with a purple robe in his hand, "Report to the Chinese army, the evidence has been found!" ”
Lin Tong took a closer look at the robe, and saw that a hole in the neckline had been torn out, and suddenly said coldly: "Come on, arrest the suspect Li Long, and wait for trial in court." ”
"No, I didn't do it. What have you done with my clothes? Do you want to use my clothes as evidence? Li Long was held by the soldier on the shoulder and yelled angrily.
"When I was inspecting Boss Wang's body, I found a kind of cloth crumb in my fingernails - if it wasn't for the fact that the head of the army recognized that the color of the clothing scraps was the same as the robe you wore yesterday, it would really make you run away!" Lin Tongming looked at him coldly and said.
"No, how can you arrest me with a little scrap of clothing? Even if that fat man had crumbs of clothing in his nails, it wouldn't prove that it was mine! Li Long struggled and said, "That's how you think I killed him, so you left those evidences?" ”
"The imperial court has always paid attention to evidence in handling cases." Ye Zhutou said: "You have both the motive for the murder and the evidence of the murder, so why bother to hide it." ”
"I didn't hide it, I didn't do it......" Li Long was like a beast trapped in a cage, constantly struggling and roaring.
"It's not up to you to decide what you do, it's up to the evidence. Escort me back! Lin Tongming waved his big hand, and immediately the two guards stepped forward and clasped Li Long's hands with chains.
Noon.
In a rocky road away from Nagetsu Castle.
The two of them stayed under a big tree to enjoy the shade.
"Brother, I seem to see a lot of gold in your baggage!" Yao Ying raised his little head and asked curiously, "When did you get it?" ”
"When did you see that?" Mo Yi asked casually.
At this time, he had an extra backpack on his body, which he had specially drawn for someone to make a few days ago.
The backpack is very large, and he drew it according to the military backpack, but the production method in this era is relatively rough, and there is no zipper, and the pockets can only be buttoned with buttons. So the shape looks strange.
"I saw a piece of gold drop from your bag this morning!" Yao Ying's smart eyes stared at his eldest brother.
"I have exchanged all the silver I have earned from the restoration of iron bones for gold." Mo Yi explained casually.
"Brother, don't lie to others." Yao Ying's eyes flashed with wisdom, "The weight of your bag is obviously very serious, although the crossbow is on you, but I know its weight." ”
"What do you see?" Mo Yi said indifferently.
"I'm not sure, but brother, you just said that it was all changed to gold, and there must be at least fifty taels of gold in it." Yao Ying stared at him and said.
"Alright! Brother won't lie to you anymore, you're right. Mo Yi shook his head helplessly.
"This gold must have been earned by you doing something bad, brother, right?" Yao Ying asked with a wink.
"How do you deduce?" Mo Yi turned his head and slapped his buttocks.
"My brother said he was going to leave here the night before, and you didn't plan to do that before that." Yao Ying smiled and said: "I asked you if the money was not enough, and you said that someone would send it - you had so much gold hidden in your bag the next day, if you didn't do bad things, how could you get this gold all at once." ”
"I said someone else gave it!"
"Robbing and giving away are the same for you, brother."
"I sold the iron bones to restore the scattered ones!"
"No one will pay this price."
"Alright! The elder brother admits that he got it by doing bad things. Mo Yi touched his head and sighed: "You have finally shown a little ability, my brother is very pleased." ”
"Horses are so cute!" Yao Ying touched the sturdy white horse under the big tree, and muttered to himself.
Mo Yi couldn't help but look at him with a smile, so he praised you, why did you show the appearance of that little kid?
He obviously forgot that Yao Ying was still a child of about six and a half years old, and it was extremely normal for him to show such innocence. On the contrary, it is to analyze all kinds of things like an adult, and that is called abnormal.
