Leng Yi was slightly stunned, he was the only one who dared to talk to the official master like this, except for the high-flying and domineering Tu gang leader. He knew that this was not some kind of Mingzhuo consciousness of the ancients, and there must be another reason for it, so he nodded and said: "Yes, they said that you gambled indiscriminately, owed a lot of money to their family, and asked you to use the land to pay off the debt, but you didn't do it, and you beat people, is this the case?" ”

"You say yes! Anyway, I'm already like this now, and my wife is gone, so I'm waiting for you! ”

"Wait for us?" Leng Yi was even more surprised, "What are we waiting for?" ”

"Wait until you arrest me as a scapegoat and kill me, and give the eldest young master of the Su family his life!" Gao Fu looked at Leng Yi, and even had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you here for this?" ”

"It's really not," Leng Yi said: "We are indeed here to investigate the case of the murder of the eldest young master of the Su family, there are some things I want to know more about, so I will talk to you." The aim is to get to the bottom of the case. If you think so, it should be that the Su family is embarrassed by you, right? ”

"Embarrassed?" A sneer erupted from Gao Fu's nostrils, "It's too easy to say it's embarrassing, isn't it?" In order to repay the gambling debts of the eldest young master of the Su family, I sold the land, my daughter-in-law, and my daughter, and this house was also sold. Are you satisfied? I have one more useful person, and that is to be a scapegoat for you! I'm dead, this case is over, everyone is happy, why don't you hurry up and arrest someone? ”

Leng Yi said: "Don't get excited, what's going on, can you talk about it?" You may not have heard it clearly just now, I am not from the prefect of Bazhou, I am the prefect of Yinling County, and the prefect invited me to investigate the case. So, I don't know what's going on with you, and I'm at a loss for reasons when you're angry at me. ”

Gao Fu listened to Leng Yi's words, his heart calmed down a little, and said, "Okay, what do you want to know?" Ask? ”

"Why do you owe so much money to the Su family?"

"This has nothing to do with the case, the people from the prefect's yamen have already said it, do you still want to ask?"

"You just need to answer, I naturally have a reason to ask."

"Well, I said, it's very simple, I used to like to gamble a little money, but I know in my heart, the upper limit I set for myself is that every time I gamble money, win or lose no more than 100 Wen, whether I win or lose, I will pat my ass and leave. Therefore, I have a house, land, and cattle, and I have lived a fairly comfortable life, and I have gambled for so many years, and in general, I have won or lost the same, and I have never lost my family because of this. Just last year, when I was gambling in the gambling house, I met the eldest young master of the Su family, and he also participated, betting on the size of the bet. That one, he lost, I won, and it just so happened that I won a hundred wen, and I was leaving. He stopped me and said what, I'm going to leave when I win? I said that this is my rule, no matter if you win or lose, you will leave after 100 yuan, and many people in the gambling house know it. He said farting, if you win Lao Tzu's money, you won't be allowed to leave! I said that the rules of the gambling house are to come and go freely, and there is no compulsion to gamble. He said that Lao Tzu is going to force you today, how about it? And his servants surrounded me. ”

"This person is really domineering, but he won him a hundred wen, not a hundred taels, as for being in such a hurry?"

"Yes, besides, I had already won almost a hundred wen before that, and at most I only won a dozen wen against him. But I know that their Su family is very domineering in the village, and I usually hide from him, but this time, I provoked him, and it seems that I can't leave without losing money to him, so I said okay, then bet. When the others saw that the eldest young master of the Su family was looking for trouble, they all withdrew, and I was the only one who gambled with him. I wanted to lose money to him, but sometimes the size of the bet was out of control, and I won him twice in a row. Won him more than seventy wen. He got angry, took out a silver ingot, ten taels, slapped it on the table, and said that it is so powerful, let's bet bigger! I didn't see it well, so I quickly laughed and said that I was wrong, and I was willing to return all the money I won to him. He said that if he wanted to retreat, he had to admit that I paid a thousand and paid a hundred taels of silver, and then he could leave. ”

"Say a thousand, then you have to catch it to count! How can there be an empty mouth to say that people are out of thousands? ”

Leng Yi helped Gao Fu speak twice in a row, and Gao Fu was a little grateful: "Isn't it, sir, you are also a casino expert, you know this reason." Naturally, the gambling house also knew, but none of them helped me speak, and they all stood aside and watched the excitement. I know I'm in trouble now, and I put all the money on the table, which is about two or three hundred yuan. I have been making amends to him, saying that all the money will be returned to him, and I will make amends. He still refused to give up, and ordered his servants to drag me to the table, and if he forced me to gamble, I said no, and I would not gamble if I was killed. But he couldn't help but say, he pushed the two or three hundred wen I put on the table to the table, and asked me whether the bet was big or small? I didn't want to say, he said that I won just now, my dealer, he bet big, I am small, let me shake the cup. I would not, and his servants pressed me on the head. I clenched my fists and refused, begging for mercy with all my might. However, he grabbed my hand and forcibly touched the cup, even if I shook it, I opened it and saw that it was a small one, and I won again! ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "Your luck is good." ”

Gao Fu smiled bitterly: "Master, if you listen down, you will know if this is a good thing." ”

"What, you won't let you go?"

"Of course!" Gao Fu said: "He took out five ingots of silver, a total of fifty taels, slapped them on the table, blocked me, I was frightened, I still refused, he used the same method as before, forced me to gamble." And I won again. So he took out ten more ingots of silver, this time, fifty taels and one ingots, for a total of five hundred taels! Put it on the table and bet with me. I knew that if I continued like this, I would definitely die an ugly death, so I said I bet! However, how much to bet, I have the final say, I thought, anyway, I have already won dozens of taels, gamble slowly, the big deal is to pay him all the money. Unexpectedly, he said that I had won him dozens of taels, he was very faceless, and he wanted to bet with me to the end, now I am the banker, how much he bets, I have to accompany how much! ”

Leng Yi frowned and said: "How can there be such a rule, your financial resources are no match for his Su family, he keeps increasing his weight, and you will definitely die in the end!" And will die a terrible death! ”

"I naturally knew that I wanted to run away, but I was caught by his thugs, and my nose and face were swollen, and it was useless for me to plead. His servant grabbed my hand and touched the cup, and after it opened, this time, I lost. He took all the silver and copper coins, and he said that I would forget the fraction, and I owed him a total of four hundred and forty taels! I said that I was forced to gamble, and besides, I didn't open a casino, I gambled with him, and it was a big deal to lose all the money bet, and I would lose as much as he bet. I asked the casino manager if this was the case, but he said that this was our business, he didn't care, and it had nothing to do with his casino.

"The casino has something to do with the Su family, right?"

"I don't know, at that time, the eldest young master of the Su family asked me to write an IOU, and I wrote several sheets, but if I didn't do it, they beat me to death, and finally took my palm and forcibly pressed my fingerprints. After that, my nightmare began, and their Su family came to the door every day to force debts, forcibly pulled my cattle, and beat my family to death. forced me to sell my mother, sell my son, sell my land, and anyway, everything my family could sell forced me to sell and lose money. I've made a good home, and that's what it is! Not only my family, but even relatives and friends who are closer to us, such as Luo Biantou's family, Hao Wei's family, and Liu Qi's family, are all saddened by the Su family. Now, the eldest young master of the Su family is finally dead! This is the sky with eyes! Well dead! ”

Leng Yi said: "Do you know who killed him?" ”

"Haha! Manga said that he didn't know, even if he knew, Lao Tzu would not tell the government, Lao Tzu would burn high incense for him every day, wishing him a long life and a hundred years old! ”

Leng Yi nodded and said, "I understand, just like you said, the sky has eyes!" With that, Leng Yi stepped out. Governor Liao greeted him with hope and said, "How is it?" Got a clue? ”

Leng Yi had already made up his mind in his heart, in the face of such an evil young master who bullied people, forcibly annihilated people's daughters, and occupied other people's property, not to mention that this is a headless case that is difficult to investigate, even if there are clues, he is not interested in investigating it. Therefore, making up his mind to put this matter away, he didn't say a word about the content of the previous conversation, shook his head, and said: "It is true that these three people did not have the time to commit crimes, and at the time of the crime, they all had clear alibi evidence, so they could not be criminals." ”

Liao Zhifu said: "Could it be that they bought murder?" - That's what the Su family said. ”

"These three families are all poor people in the village, where can they afford to hire killers?"

"What then?" Liao Zhifu was still disappointed, he originally thought that this matter could be solved smoothly with Leng Yi's departure, but he couldn't imagine that Leng Yi had made no progress here, and he couldn't help but be very disappointed.

Leng Yi arched his hand and said: "All the clues in this case have been broken, and there is really no way to do it." However, he learned that the Su family had been embarrassing the three families they thought were buying murderers. It can almost be said that his wife is separated, and his family is ruined. However, judging from the current evidence, they are obviously not murder suspects, the Su family is violating the king's law by doing this, and I hope the adults will stop it! ”

Governor Liao sighed and said, "It's not that the government doesn't stop it, but it's useless to stop it." This government has told the Su family several times, but they don't listen, and the three families can't come up with full evidence to prove that the Su family harmed them like this. This house is also very difficult! ”

Leng Yi nodded and said, "I understand." So ...... this case? ”

Governor Liao said: "Since there is no way, what can you do?" Let's go back! ”

Xing Tongzhi interjected: "By the way, the case of the murder of the village woman Xia, do you want Lord Leng to take a look by the way, anyway, this time it is all here." It's still early. ”

Liao Zhifu said: "This is also true, even if you come, you will be safe, just trouble Lord Leng to investigate that case, if you can solve that case, it is also good." ”

Leng Yi said: "Okay, then I'll go and take a look." Do your best. ”
