Chapter 1399 - Denial in every way
"Nope!" How did Sander know that he was in trouble, and after waving his hand after hearing this, he said, "This military master, the situation was chaotic after the war, and there were ordnance and materials everywhere on the road, and my father didn't see the owner of the sword when he picked it up. ”
"Where's your father?" Li Yuntian's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and then asked lightly.
"My father died a few years ago, and before he died, he asked the little one to take good care of this sword, but unfortunately the little one was not filial, and in the end he still couldn't keep it." Xander sighed and put on a helpless look.
"As far as I know, you often gamble in the gambling house and owe money, and you have suffered a lot because you can't pay it back." A sneer flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth when he heard this, and he looked at Sand with an expressionless face and said, "Moreover, you used to gamble a lot, and the amount of money you gambled a few days ago suddenly became bigger, and then you took out this sword, can you tell this official why?" ”
"This ......" Sang De couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he never expected Li Yuntian to know these things, and he was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
During the time that Sander came, Li Yuntian learned about him from the owner of the gambling house, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles.
"This military master is small and unproductive, and he feels that it is really impossible to keep such a treasure in the air, so he recently decided to sell it for money, and it is a problem for people like small ones to even eat, where can they leave any heirlooms."
However, Sander was a slick ruffian who was good at lying, so he quickly made up a reason and replied to Li Yuntian with a sneer.
"Sande, this official can tell you that this sword is definitely qualified to become an heirloom, because it was given by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to Cheng Ninghou, the deputy marshal of the Western Expeditionary Army."
Li Yuntian naturally knew that Sander was lying, a ruffian like this was an out-and-out scoundrel, and reasoning with them would undoubtedly play the piano to the cow, and they would definitely mess around at that time, so he was not ready to be false and wronged with him anymore, and looked at Sander coldly and said.
"West...... Deputy Marshal of the Western Expeditionary Army! Hearing this, Sang De couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked at Li Yuntian with a surprised expression, he knew that the owner of this sword must be a senior general of the Ming army, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
The battle in Blackwater City was less than ten years ago, and the matter of Cheng Ninghou was full of turmoil at that time, so with Sand's age, he must know that the deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army was the commander of the Ming Army in the First Battle of Blackwater City, and he vaguely felt that the situation was a little bad.
"This official can also tell you that Cheng Ninghou will not drop this imperial sword no matter what, unless something happens to him!"
Li Yuntian saw that Sonde's face changed, and knew that he knew about Yang Sanyu's affairs, so his eyes flashed cold, and he glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, you said that your father has never seen the owner of the sword is lying, there is only one possibility, that is, your father killed Cheng Ninghou, which is a big crime of being beheaded all over the house!" ”
"Military ...... Master Jun, little ...... The little ones say...... It's wrong, it's a small ...... The sword that the villain's father picked up from a corpse didn't know that person was Cheng Ninghou. ”
Seeing Li Yuntian's sharp eyes, Sander suddenly felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, and cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.
"Humph!" Li Yuntian sneered when he heard this, and asked the owner of the gambling house who was standing aside, "How did he tell you the origin of this sword at that time?" ”
"Back to the military master, he said that this sword was picked up by his father from the road while the war was raging, and I don't know who and which general dropped it." The owner of the gambling house had realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, and he also felt that the military master in front of him was not simple and seemed to be very scheming, so he made up his mind not to get involved in this matter, and hurriedly said when he heard this.
"That'...... That's a little fear...... I was afraid of trouble and deliberately made it up, but in fact, this sword was the villain's father...... Picked up from the corpse of a man who looked like a general. At this time, Sander also found that the majestic military master in front of him was not here to buy a sword, but that this sword had caused a big trouble, so he wiped the sweat on his forehead and argued.
"Cheng Ninghou has a lot of other valuable property on his body in addition to this sword, and your father actually got this sword, so he must have taken other property."
Li Yuntian stared at Sand coldly when he heard this, "Until now, do you still want to hide those belongings?" ”
"Military ...... Master Jun, little ...... The villain's father only ...... Only took the sword back, and ...... and no other possessions. Hearing this, Sonde's eyes flickered for a while, and then he stammered to Li Yuntian, "Ru...... If the military master doesn't believe it, you can go...... Go to the small house and search! ”
"Only the sword was retrieved?" Li Yuntian noticed Sander's flickering eyes and knew that he had something to hide in his heart, so he sneered and said, "Do you think that this official is a three-year-old child, and since your father can get even the most conspicuous sword, he will let go of other belongings?" ”
"This ......" Beads of sweat rolled down Sander's cheeks, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't hide it from the military master, the villain's father really only took back this sword, and nothing else!" ”
"Since you don't tell the truth to the official, then the official won't talk in vain, and when you get to the yamen, someone will naturally ask you, but at that time, no one will be able to save you." Li Yuntian saw that Sang De began to mess around, so he said coldly to him that as a dignified prince, he would naturally not punish Sonde, but this did not mean that the people of the Yamen would not use punishment.
"Your shop sells forbidden items from the imperial court, and when the people in the yamen come, follow along to make it clear, so as not to be implicated at that time." Then, Li Yuntian said to the owner of the gambling house standing aside, "Before that, Sander will be handed over to you for custody, and the official is tired from a day's journey, so go and rest first." ”
"Remember, don't let him run away." As he spoke, Li Yuntian meaningfully instructed the owner of the gambling house, and then led Li Anmin, Li Anming and others away.
Li Anmin and Li Anming couldn't help but glance at each other suspiciously, they didn't know why Li Yuntian left like this, but the two didn't dare to say more, and quickly followed Li Yuntian back to the tavern where they had eaten before, and sat around the dining table in the hall.
"My lord, why don't we take that Tander?" Until this time, Li Anmin finally couldn't hold back the temptation in his heart, and asked in a low voice, you must know that Sander is an important person involved in the case, in order to prevent revealing Li Yuntian's identity, he and Li Anming called him "adult" like guards.
"Someone will ask us what we want to know, and there are some things that some people are more suitable to do, and the effect is better." Li Yuntian smiled and then pulled out the sword he was holding in his hand and looked at it, he had a hunch that the whereabouts of Cheng Ninghou were about to come out.
Li Anming and Li Anmin couldn't help but glance at each other again when they heard this, with a thoughtful look on their faces, understanding Li Yuntian's intentions.
At the same time, grocery stores.
The owner of the gambling house glared viciously at Sand, who was standing there uneasily, this hateful fellow had caused him such a big trouble, and he did not think that he could easily get out of this case.
In the eyes of the gambling house owner, Cheng Ninghou's case is a royal case that has passed through the sky, and the officials who handle the case will definitely be afraid that the case will not make a big fuss, and will definitely investigate the case with great fanfare, because only the bigger the case, the greater the corresponding credit, and it is easier to be promoted.
Sander was uncomfortable by the gambling house owner, and he was obviously more afraid of the gambling house owner than the people in the government, because the people in the government also talked about etiquette, while the gambling house owner was completely arrogant and unreasonable, and it was a piece of cake to clean up his little ruffian.
"Now Lao Tzu will give you a chance to tell Lao Tzu honestly about the origin of that sword." In the tense and depressing atmosphere of the scene, the owner of the gambling house broke the silence of the scene, glared at Sander with a fierce face and said.
"Little ...... The little one told the truth, it was picked up by the little one's father, and he only brought back the sword at that time, and nothing else. A smile worse than crying erupted into Sander's face, and he insisted that what he had just said was the truth.
"Hmph, it looks like the skin on your body is itching again!" How could the gambling house owner believe Sander's words, not to mention that he knew very well what kind of person Sand was, Li Yuntan's previous words alone were enough to prove that Sand was lying, so he sneered and waved to those henchmen in the house, "Go, give him loose skin." ”
"Boss, to what extent is it repaired?" Hearing this, a strong man standing next to the owner of the gambling house asked gloomily while clenching the bones of his fists.
"Just don't die, the people in the yamen are still waiting to ask him." A sneer flashed at the corner of the gambling house owner's mouth, and he commanded in a deep voice, he had rich social experience and naturally understood Li Yuntian's intention to leave, so in order to get out, he would definitely extort a confession from Sander.
"Understood!" The strong man nodded when he heard this, and led the other followers to rush towards Sander with a fierce attitude.
Tander's face turned pale with a brush, and his eyes were full of fear, but he knew that the owner of the gambling house was ruthless, and he was more than lucky in the hands of the owner of the gambling house this time.
Tavern.
Li Yuntian sat there slowly and methodically flipping through an ancient book, while Li Anmin and Li Anming looked a little restless, in case something happened to Sander, then Yang Sanyu's clues would be broken.
"If you come, you will be safe!" Li Yuntian sensed Li Anmin and Li Anming's anxiety, so he said quietly, "If you have time, ponder what happened just now, any small plot may bring unexpected gains." ”
"Humble duty understands!" Li Anmin and Li Anming immediately looked ashamed when they heard this, the two of them were indifferent to the news of the sword before, if it weren't for Li Yuntian, this important clue related to Yang Sanyu would have been cut off like this.
Seeing this, Li Yuntian smiled and continued to flip through the books in his hand, Li Anmin and Li Anming are too young after all, and they will definitely pay attention to the details around them after they have experienced it by their side.
At this moment, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the door of the tavern, coming from far and near, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he casually closed the book in his hand, it seemed that the person he was waiting for was coming.
