Chapter 173: Windfall
In the carriage, facing the delicate and beautiful princess Kang, Tao Er did not show a salivating look, on the contrary, he was still polite.
He is not a mountain bandit, and he can't do anything to rob and suppress Mrs. Zhai; He's a gangster, and at most he's kidnapping women.
Since it's a kidnapping, you need some technical content, and you just ran into a wall in Tokyo, this time Tao Er decided to inquire about the background of this little beauty first.
The eldest princess of Kang Guo looked at Tao Er first, and felt quite satisfied in her heart, her face was not hateful, and she did not look rude or like a bad person, so she said: "I have a small request, if you can agree, I will let you take a ride all the way to Jinju." ”
Promise, don't say one request, ten will do! agreed, Tao Er was secretly happy in his heart, and said with a modest smile on his face: "We are out and about, we should take care of each other, what does the little lady want, but it doesn't matter!" ”
"That's good, my name is Tao Siniang, from now on, I will be your sister, go to Jinyang with you to join your relatives, if someone comes to inquire, don't say anything!"
Tao Er was a sign first, but he didn't expect the little beauty to make such a request, he secretly looked over, and found that there was no other salute in the car except for a small baggage, oops, could it be that this little beauty ran away from home? Well, it's possible to run away from marriage, by the way, didn't the driver Lu Si say that this Xiaomei has no destination? That's right! That's right!
"If you don't agree, if you don't agree, get out of the car quickly!" I don't know how thick the sky is high and the eldest princess of Kang Guo knows that Tao Er has guessed her situation so much that she is not far from ten, especially threatening.
Tao Er hurriedly said: "The little lady misunderstood, it is convenient for others, it is convenient for herself, how can there be no reason not to agree, I am just wondering, how does the little lady know that someone will come to check the car?" ”
The eldest princess of Kang Guo glanced at him and said, "Why are you asking so much?" Just do what I say! ”
"Okay, okay, don't ask, by the way, little lady, I heard that this road is not peaceful, and there are often bandits." When Tao Er said this, he paid attention to the expression on the little beauty's face, and saw that she really showed an uneasy look, so he continued, "Since the little lady can afford to hire a car and wants to come to the house, why don't you bring a few entourage?" It's a long way from Tokyo to Jinju, and your family is relieved that you come out alone? What if you get robbed by bandits? ”
Listening to Tao Er's words, the eldest princess of Kang Guo became uneasy, and said, "I...... I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bother to bring my entourage, is there really a bandit on this road? ”
Tao Er laughed so much that his stomach almost hurt, little look! Scare and scare can make you exposed, he replied generously: "There must be bandits, but don't worry, little lady, let's meet is also fate, I have walked this road before, I know how to avoid the bandit robbery, as long as the little lady listens to me, I Tao Er will be able to keep the little lady well!" ”
"Really?"
"How dare you coax the little lady in the next place, besides, you can't let the thieves go with this little life, right?"
"That's right! Well, before you get to Jincheng, how to go is up to your arrangement. The eldest princess of Kang Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone to Tao Er also softened.
Tao Er took the opportunity to glance at her delicate face, and swallowed her saliva, little girl, see how you still escaped from the palm of my hand.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind, and a burst of forbidden troops galloped in.
"Stop! Stop it! Who was in the car? Lift the curtain and we're going to check! The Forbidden Sergeant stopped the carriage and yelled.
The curtain of the car was opened, Tao Er was carelessly accompanied by a smiling face, and the leading officer shouted: "Who are you?" Where did it come from? Where are you going? ”
"Back to the military marquis, the villain's name is Tao Er, this is the villain's sister, we are from Tokyo, we are going to Jinzhou to join our relatives, I don't know who the military marquis are looking for?"
"Why do you ask so much? Is this really your sister? The leading officer stared at the eldest princess of Kang inside, and the eldest princess of Kang looked at him timidly, and hurriedly turned her head away, as if she was afraid of people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how dare the villain lie to you, the little one is such a girl, how can there be a fake ......"
Tao Er's drum was like a spring's tongue, this team of forbidden soldiers couldn't see any clues, and quickly galloped away, and when they were far away, a forbidden soldier said: "Head, I see that little lady and Tao Er's sister are not the same, where do the two look like brothers and sisters?" I think, maybe that little lady is the eldest princess of Kang Guo. ”
The leading officer replied: "Two questions, first, if the eldest princess of Kang Guo took the initiative to leave, how could she be willing to travel with a pariah? What is this system? Second, if the eldest princess of Kang Guo was kidnapped, we were in the car just now, her hands and feet were not tied, and her mouth could speak, why didn't she call for help? Okay, let's hurry forward to find it, we can't find anyone, and no one will end well when we go back. ”
"Head, you're too wise, and you're so reasonable......"
Seeing this forbidden army go away, the eldest princess of Kang Guo was inexplicably a little proud, as if she had succeeded in playing a little trick in front of adults.
Tao Er was even more proud, because the little beauty had not driven him out, the fragrance like an orchid musk, and the delicate and moving appearance made him saliva swallow straight in, well, this forbidden army is not here to find the little beauty, little beauty, see how you still run out of my palm!
Tao Er couldn't help but think about it, and looked at Lu Si on the wheel, if he could break this guy away, it would be even more perfect.
In the evening, when they arrived in Yicheng County, the three of them stayed in an inn, and the eldest princess of Kang Guo felt that it was still useful to take Tao Er with her for the time being, so she took the initiative to pay for him.
After settling down, Tao Er immediately found a pharmacy to buy a few medicinal herbs, and tinkered for half a night before falling asleep.
The next day, the three of them set off again, after entering the Sheephorn Mountain, surrounded by ancient trees and shade, the four fields were lonely, Tao Er took advantage of the lack of attention, and quietly poured the prepared medicinal powder into the kettle...... *** Above the lobby, Yang Yi asked with a calm face: "Li Er, you said that you only went out on the fifth watch, but there are witnesses." ”
"Back to the adult, the villain has no witness, it was not dawn at that time, the people in the village have not gotten up, the villain is a single person, I really can't find a witness, but the adult, the little one really went out after the fifth watch, and I really didn't see Li Qi, please check clearly, the little one has always been good friends with Li Qi, and there is no grudge, how can he murder him, my lord, Huang and Li Ping have always had an adulterous affair, everyone in this village knows it, they can murder Li Qi!"
Li Er's words, Yang Yi really couldn't find any flaws, he tried his best, but Li Er's expression was normal, and he didn't show any weakness.
Regarding the case of Li Qi's murder, the current situation is that the scene of the crime cannot be determined, the murder weapon cannot be found, and the whereabouts of the two taels of stolen silver are unknown. Several suspects were retried in the first instance, and the more they were tried, the more confusing it became.
Is it true that you have to be punished and served?
The first time he handled the case, he had to bend into a trick, Yang Yi was really unwilling, and after interrogating Li Er, he came to Lijia Village again with the officials. Li Er, Li Qi, and Li Ping's three families have been searched repeatedly, and even the hoes that may be used to bury the corpses have been carefully seen, and there is a lack of farm tools in these years, and each family has a few farm tools and neighbors know that this cannot be hidden, but unfortunately the soil quality of Jianziling, where Li Qi's body was found, is mostly the same as the soil quality of the surrounding fields, and it is impossible to find out the basis from the hoe.
Li Qi's family is deserted, Li Qi is dead, the Huang family is locked in prison, and there is an eleven-year-old Li Xi'er left in the family, which is really pitiful, she has been following behind, and at every opportunity, she came up and kowtowed: "My lord, my mother has wronged!" The night my father went out to sell salt, my mother hugged me to sleep, and she didn't go out at all, how could she kill my father! My lord, please let me go! Please, please, please! ”
The child kowtowed, Yang Yi couldn't bear it, helped her up and said, "I'll ask you a few questions, if you answer truthfully, I will let your mother come back for the time being." ”
"Really? Sir, you ask, I will answer whatever you ask! I don't lie to you! ”
"Usually when your father is not at home, does Li on the other side usually come to your house?"
"Sometimes I come, but my mother doesn't dare to let him in."
"Why? Do you think he's a bad guy? ”
Li Xi'er hurriedly denied it: "No, no, no, Uncle Ping, he is a good person, he treats me very well, and when my father beats my mother, he is the only one to dissuade him." ”
"Then why didn't your mother let him in?"
"My mother said that she was afraid of others gossiping!"
"Then when your father is away, does your mother often go to Li Ping's house? You have to tell the truth, or I won't let your mother come back. ”
Li Xi'er glanced up at him, and hurriedly lowered her head like a frightened deer, and replied, "Go...... I've been there a few times, but my mother didn't dare to go alone, so she took me with her every time. ”
"Oh, do you remember what they said?"
"They say ......"
Yang Yi soon returned to the state government and immediately re-interrogated Huang, but Yang Yi was somewhat disappointed by the result, and Huang recounted the conversation she had with Li Ping when she met with Li Xi'er.
This also proves from another side that although there is some affection between Huang and Li Ping, it may be too much to say that they are adulterous.
"Huang, you said that your husband Li Qi is the fourth watch, how did you determine it?"
This is very important, if Li Qi is not the fourth watch when he goes out, then everything will have to be reversed.
Huang replied under the hall: "There is a watchman at the head of the village, and the clumsy man just played four drums when he went out, and the people can be sure of it." ”
"Was your daughter Li Xi'er asleep at that time? Or awake? The reason why Yang Yi asked so carefully was naturally to find Li Xi'er to confirm Huang's words, so that it would be easy to confirm whether Huang was lying.
"Awake, because the clumsy husband is going out to sell smuggled salt, we are worried, and we haven't slept well all night."
"What did your husband say to you when he went out?"
Huang hesitated for a moment and replied, "He...... He asked the women to stay at home honestly, and if they dared to go out to provoke right and wrong and do something sorry for him, they would be killed. ”
Yang Yi glanced at Xiao Yi next to him, and continued to ask, "When Li Er came to knock on the door, was your daughter asleep or awake?" ”
"I was asleep, but Li Er banged on the door too loudly, and he was woken up again!"
"Very good, what did Li Er tell you at that time?"
At that time, Li Er shouted outside the door, Qi Niangzi, it's almost dawn this day, what about Qi Lang and the others? Hurry him to the docks! Wang Gui waited, and the woman replied that his clumsy husband would go out on the fourth watch......"
"Wait, you repeat what Li Er said at that time, don't make a mistake!"
"Back to my lord, at that time, Li Er banged on the door hard, and then shouted, Qi Niangzi, this day is almost bright, what about Qi Lang and others? Hurry him to the docks! When the king waited, the women answered him......"
"Okay, come on, take the Wang family down and pass on Li Er!"
Yang Yi felt that the clouds were clear for a while, and when the Huang family was taken down, he couldn't help but smile happily: "The murderer has been found, and he has finally found it, has Mr. Xiao heard it?" ”
Xiao Yi asked suspiciously: "Could it be that adults think that the Huang family is the murderer?" I really don't know what is going on under the foolishness, please make it clear! ”
"Hahaha! We'll see later. ”
