Chapter 141 Investigation
Lao Liutou held the cigarette handed by the vendor in his hand, and slowly spoke, "I remember that it was March, our village is close to Fanyang, I heard that the merchants in the city brought a lot of strange items from the Shenglong in Chang'an, and carried out promotions in Fanyang, and the old man and the descendants went to see it, it was really strange."
"We thought about what kind of people can create such ingenious objects, and then we heard that it was the Niu Guoshi of Chang'an, and we admired it in our hearts, although we couldn't afford those objects."
Hearing that the peddler blushed slightly, his own things were too dark, and lit a cigarette for the old man, and after the old man took a puff in confusion, he fell in love with this mellow taste, "It's really a good thing, and the national teacher is magical."
"Boss, please continue"
"Well, so we are all very curious about the magical national teacher, and it just so happened that the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple came to the village to publicize that in the future, all believers can get a pound of free salt when they go to the Taoist temple for the first time to offer incense, saying that it is a meeting gift from the national teacher to the believers."
Saying that, the old man smiled, "Don't hide it from the national teacher, we didn't believe it at first, but we couldn't help but be tempted to go to the incense, and sure enough, after getting it back, the big guy took a look, good guy, snow-white and delicate refined salt, the old man lived for a lifetime, and he worked in the rich and noble people in the city, and he had seen the master's family eat, and he didn't taste it at all, and he once thought that he could eat it once in his life, even if he died, it was worth it."
"So everyone went to the Taoist temple like crazy to offer incense, just to get a pound of salt, and the nearby Taoist temple was full of incense every day in those days, and it was about to be crowded."
Later, the Taoist elders said that in the future, they only had to believe. Everyone can buy their kind of refined salt at a reasonable price, although each person can only buy one pound at a time. There is a limit of four catties a year, but everyone doesn't think there's anything wrong. After all, the Taoist elders are also mortals, and they also need to live, and they can't be given unlimited amounts, so everyone is very satisfied."
The peddler stretched out his hand, "Don't continue to say these compliments, I want to know what happened later."
The old man said in a paused tone, "Oh, later, I don't know what happened later, the salt in the surrounding Ten Miles and Eight Towns Wind Taoist Temple is poisonous, so let the big guy not buy it again." To tell the truth, who believes it, there must be someone who is red and spreading rumors, and everyone laughs at it"
"Who knows that not long after, one night, a strong man like a stone in our village, not long after breakfast, a family of five suddenly bled from the mouth and nose. Before the doctor comes, it won't work."
"At first, everyone thought that the stone family had suffered some kind of heavenly punishment, but then the above came to work and inspected the stone family. Arsenic was found in the salt shaker of his house, and everyone knew that the salt in the Taoist temple was poisonous."
"Since then. Everyone sprinkled all the salt they had bought from the Taoist temple, and when the Taoist elders heard about this, they came to the village to apologize for the dead villagers. We also trusted the Daoists for a while."
But then I heard that someone in the city had been poisoned. And more, and more importantly, there are rumors that the new national teacher from Chang'an is bewitching His Majesty and wants to collect the souls of the dead and refine the elixir for His Majesty, so he secretly makes it bad, and everyone will pay it back when they hear it."
"As a result, the entire Fanyang was boiling, and the villagers were furious, and all the nearby Taoist temples were demolished, and the Taoist leaders were also beaten away."
This is the end of the words, no matter how stupid the hawker is, there is someone who understands by his side, Yuan Tiangang said, "This must be someone making trouble, now the national teacher is sitting in front of you, uncle, do you think he looks like that kind of vicious person?" ”
"This" The old man's mouth trembled, and the words behind him didn't come out, but the peddler knew that he must have wanted to say that he knew people and faces, but he didn't know his heart!
"Needless to say, there must be something strange in this matter, I want to ask, in addition to eating salt and dying, is there anything else happening nearby?"
The old man frowned, "Others, I think about it, we don't have it in our village, but I heard that a strange thing happened in Shangliu Village."
The peddler became interested, "Oh, tell me what is going on?" ”
"That's the case, just when there were people poisoned to death in Fanyang's ten miles and eight townships, no one in Shangliu Village was poisoned to death, but there was a homicide, a young man who got up at night was strangled to death and thrown in the pit, the family thought it was missing, and they didn't find it for a long time, and then they found it in the pit, but so far no one in Shangliu Village has been poisoned to death, and everyone doesn't know why"
The hawker and Lao Yuan glanced at each other, this must have been someone poisoned at night, and was discovered by the later life, and then killed people, as for later, in order to avoid suspicion, they deliberately did not poison Shangliu Village, for fear that someone would contact them with the matter!
It seems that the reason for this incident has been revealed, and there must be someone behind the trouble, but at present, although everyone knows that the Lu family did it, there is no complete chain of evidence and evidence to support this assertion, and the hawkers and Daomen still cannot wash away the suspicion of poisoning and killing!
Arching his hand to the old man, "Thank you for telling me the truth, and please take me to the homes of several bitter masters to express my condolences and apologize."
"Okay, national teacher, please come with me"
The old man told the hawker that the man's name was Guiliang, that the old lady, his wife, and the children were all dead, and that he himself had escaped because he had worked in the city and had not returned that night.
As soon as the hawker and the people walked to the door of Guiliang's house, a man rushed out with a flat pole, and before everyone could react, he slapped the hawker on the head at once.
The hawker only felt a buzz, and the Venus in front of him was rising, and he paused at that time, this damn teleportation technique, and he didn't react, this was the hawker's thoughts before he fainted, Song Hao and the others hurriedly came over to surround the hawker, and held the hurting man down.
Lao Yuan shook the hawker vigorously, "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, wake up, you can't die"
The man who was held down by Song Hao knelt on the ground and laughed, "Haha, demon Dao, it's good to die, mother, wife, children, I'll avenge you, haha..."
The hawker was dizzy and woke up by Lao Yuan, stretched out his hand and touched the blood in his head, and saw that the hawker woke up, Lao Yuan was finally relieved, "Uncle Shi, are you okay?" ”
The vendor waved his hand and said "It's okay, help me up"
"Oh"
Along Lao Yuan's arm, the peddler stood up and looked at the man laughing wildly on the ground, "Very good, I remember that you hit me this time, Ben Bo doesn't care about you, I hope that when the matter comes to light, you can still have the courage to swing your flat shoulder again"
Guiliang spat on the ground, "Demon Dao, I hate it so much, this flat shoulder didn't kill you, mother..."
"Stop screaming"
Uh, Gui Liang didn't finish shouting, he was suffocated, and the vendor put down a pile of loose silver in front of Gui Liang, "I know that money can't be exchanged for your family's life, but I also ask you to accept it, don't worry, I promise to find out what happened, and give you justice"
Gui Liang looked at the pile of silver in front of him and didn't speak stupidly, the vendor waved his hand to let Song Hao let go of him, and the old man took the vendor to the graveyard of the stone family to have a few pillars of incense, and then left Xialiu Village.
On the way, Lao Yuan asked the hawker, "Does Uncle Shi have a plan?" ”
The peddler who was driving showed a sinister smile, "Hmph, since the Lu family is playing the people's war with me, then okay, I'll let the Lu family see what the real people's war is."
The peddler has already figured out how to solve the Lu family, there is no evidence, it doesn't matter, the head is not as flexible as the family, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we have more than a thousand years of knowledge than them, any conspiracy and trickery is a paper tiger in front of strength, the Lu family will wait for Niu Ye, if you don't kill you this time, you will be called Lu Dabao in the future!
"Lao Yuan, it's up to you next, and then I won't visit one village at a time, I'm sorry for you, you take this, take pictures of the villages where the dead have died, and inform the family members of the time of the deceased, I will do it in Fanyang City, for the deceased, and give everyone a clear justice"
Old Yuan arched his hand, "Yes, it's just that Uncle Shi, what are you going to do?" ”
"Me? to Lu's house" (to be continued.) )
