Chapter Seventy-Eight: An Unexpected Harvest

Song Ruilong pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Liu Tieban was killed by robbers, so who will I pay back my money? ”

Liu Wanshun smiled and said, "Childe, you are really enthusiastic. Do you say there are people like you? Many people can jump up when they hear that the creditor is dead, but why are you still worried, Childe? Is it really weird? ”

Liu Wanshun shook his head like a rattle, a little confused by the second monk.

Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "This is a human life after all. You say I can't send the money, how can I pay my respects at my father's grave? Uncle, why don't you tell me, where did this Liu Tieban be killed by the robbers? ”

Liu Wanshun said: "Who is sure of this kind of thing?" At that time, it was said that Zhao Li, the robber of Cuihua Mountain, led people to kill Liu Tieban and his wife, and Guo County Ling also ordered to attack Cuihua Mountain, but the result was that Zhao Li ran away, and a year later, Guo County Ling was also killed with a knife, Childe, what do you say this is called? This county order is dead, and the newly appointed county commander Song Ruilong is investigating the cause of death of Guo County Order, so the case of Liu Tieban and his wife has been separated for three years, and it has not been solved until now. ”

Song Ruilong thought of another person and said, "Oh, Uncle Liu, I want to ask you about someone again." Liu Tiepan's neighbor Wei Xiaojuan, do you know each other? ”

Liu Wanshun suddenly became interested and said, "Wei Xiaojuan! Is it more than understanding? She and I almost got married? I took three feet of red cloth less than that Longshi, and Wei Xiaojuan's father didn't agree with me marrying Wei Xiaojuan, so he married Wei Xiaojuan to Longshi. ”

Song Ruilong listened to it with relish, and said with a smile: "Hey, if Wei Xiaojuan marries you, then she will definitely be happy, I heard that Long Shi also moved away because of Liu Tieban's matter, and is no longer alive, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Liu Wanshun thought about it and said: "I pondered that this dragon stone must have something to do with Liu Tieban's death, what might he know, and he was afraid that those people would come to him for revenge, so he moved away." I don't know where he moved, but according to the villagers, he may have been in Xiaya Village, a relative of his. Hi! Don't mention it, everyone is old, besides, I have children and daughters now, my wife is still alive, even if Long Shi dies, it is impossible for me to go to Wei Xiaojuan again. ”

After Song Ruilong made sure that Wei Xiaojuan was not lying, he looked at the mountain road he came out of, and said: "Uncle Liu, we won't mention the previous things, even if you want to go to Wei Xiaojuan now, then Wei Xiaojuan still has to guard the way for her husband Long Shi."

Liu Wanshun kept saying, "That's, that's." Besides, I'm not like that! ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, look at that entrance, oh, it's the entrance at the bottom of the Broken Soul Cliff, who else knows besides you?"

Liu Wanshun straightened his waist, let his toes stand on tiptoe, and said, "You said that entrance, many people in the village know it." It's just that there are no medicinal materials under the Broken Soul Cliff, and it's strange to seep people, so many people, including young people themselves, don't go. I haven't been to that place in two years. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Uncle Liu, do you remember that before Liu Tiepan's accident, any strangers went to the bottom of the Broken Soul Cliff?"

"Stranger? Three years ago? Liu Wanshun was recalling carefully, and suddenly he said excitedly: "Oh! I remembered that a stranger who was dressed very well had walked into that place. ”

Song Ruilong was also pleasantly surprised, he thought that it had been three years since this happened, and it was impossible for Liu Wanshun to remember things for so long, who knew that when he asked like this, he really asked a surprise.

Song Ruilong was pleasantly surprised, but the expression on his face was still very calm, and said, "Uncle Liu, tell me, why do you still remember that person who is very well-dressed?"

Liu Wanshun said: "That person's dress is not like that of an ordinary person, and one of his clothes makes those of us who often farm unaffordable." He wore a very precious dragon head jade pendant around his waist, and a square hat inlaid with gold on his head, and he was about forty years old. He was very generous, and when he made a move, it was fifty taels of silver. You said that I could see fifty taels of silver several times in my life, so I was very impressed with that man, and I often regarded him as a lucky star in my life. ”

Song Ruilong listened to Liu Wanshun's description, and he thought of Zhao Zhenxiong. Zhao Zhenxiong's age is now forty-five years old, three years ago, he happened to be forty-two years old, forty-two years old is a dragon, that dragon head jade pendant should represent his appearance, which is very consistent with Liu Wanshun said that he is in his forties. And Zhao Zhenxiong's life experience and dress are not too wrong with Liu Wanshun's description, if that person enters the square area of the Broken Soul Cliff again, then that person must be Zhao Zhenxiong.

Song Ruilong thought so in his heart, and asked, "Uncle Liu, why did that person give you fifty taels of silver?"

Liu Wanshun said: "Hi! The people in the city may have money to burn. He said that he had made a bet with a friend that the bet was 10,000 taels of silver, and that if he could find a way from the bottom of the Broken Soul Cliff to the Broken Soul Cliff, then his friend would lose 10,000 taels of silver to him, but if he couldn't find another way, he would lose 10,000 taels to that person. I helped him find a way out, so he gave me fifty taels of silver. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Then did you take that person to the Broken Soul Cliff to see the situation?"

Liu Wanshun said: "It's strange to say, that person said that he wouldn't let me follow anything." He said he could find his way. Everyone talked about it, and I followed it as if I was going to rob him of his money. So I didn't go. ”

Song Ruilong thought to himself: "If that person went to transfer the body, he would definitely not agree to Liu Wanshun following him."

Song Ruilong asked softly, "Uncle Liu, do you remember any other obvious characteristics on that person's body?" Or did he tell you what his name was? ”

Liu Wanshun said: "No." I'm a rough person, and I don't like to inquire about other people's **. Liu Wanshun suddenly said excitedly: "Oh, yes, there is a little, at that time, the man's right hand seemed to be injured, wrapped in a white cloth, hanging around his neck, I asked him curiously what was going on, and he said that he was accidentally injured by falling on the mountain." Nothing else. ”

After Liu Wanshun finished answering Song Ruilong's words, he seemed to realize something, and said, "Hey, I said Childe, what are you doing when you inquire about what happened three years ago?" It's a willow iron plate again, a dragon stone or something? Are you some official in the city who has come to investigate the situation? ”

Song Ruilong stood up with a wry smile and said, "Uncle Liu, you are exalting me too much. I am just a Jianghu person who likes to wander around, and I have nothing to do with being an official. Okay, Uncle Liu, it's not too early, and I should go back too. ”

Liu Wanshun saw that Song Ruilong went back along the same road, he looked up at the sky, it was almost dark, and he also decided to go home first.
