Chapter 181: One term as an official
When Li Canghai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly figured out the key.
Chang Feng's words made Li Canghai think of one thing, that is, the injury of the housekeeper Hukou.
When he checked the tattoo on the butler's left arm before, he saw that the butler's left hand had lost a layer of skin.
Li Canghai hurriedly walked to the butler's corpse, squatted next to the corpse, and observed it carefully.
The butler's left hand not only lost a layer of skin, but also seemed to have a circle of tooth marks.
The tooth marks were bitten very deeply, even if the housekeeper was a little swollen by the fire, he could still see the traces of the tooth marks, and the depth of the bite marks could be seen.
"I see." Li Canghai let out a long breath.
"Your Excellency, do you know the murderer?" Chang Feng was puzzled when he observed the butler's corpse, wasn't he looking for the murderer who killed the scar, why did he run to the butler.
Li Canghai nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, in fact, the murderer is him." ”
Chang Feng saw his finger pointing at the housekeeper, and the whole person was stunned.
"My lord, you mean that the scar was killed by him?" Chang Feng asked stunned.
"Thank you for reminding me. You are right, when the murderer killed, he was indeed covered by someone in the mouth and then killed with a dagger. Li Canghai pointed to the housekeeper's left hand and said, "Look at his tiger's mouth, his tiger's mouth has obvious traces of teeth biting, and a piece of flesh has fallen from the tiger's mouth, as long as you compare the scarred teeth with this bite mark, this can be determined." Li Canghai groaned.
Chang Feng's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "My lord, how can this be compared, he is already dead." ”
Li Canghai smiled slightly, and then ordered someone to buy a steamed bun and bring it in.
Chang Feng looked at him stunned, and said in his heart, the taste of adults is also a little heavier, the smell here is foul, and you can actually eat steamed buns?
Li Canghai walked to the scarred corpse with the steamed bun, then pinched his chin, pulled his jaw apart, stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, and then nudged it, and a complete tooth mark suddenly appeared on the steamed bun.
Throwing the steamed bun to Chang Feng casually, Li Canghai said: "If you compare the bite marks on the steamed bun, you will know whether what I said is true or false." ”
Chang Feng suddenly realized that he was busy holding the steamed bun and comparing it with the scars on the butler's corpse.
"My lord, as you said, this bite mark is really the same." Chang Feng was extremely admiring, he looked at the two corpses, and said puzzledly: "But the adult, the little one doesn't understand, why did he kill the scar?" ”
Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and muttered, "This is also what I am most puzzled about. ”
Scar is not a person who is 'anti-scale Xuanwu', what is the matter with the housekeeper killing him?
On the day Wang Buquan was caught, the housekeeper was taken to Damiao Village along with the scars and other ruffians, before that, the two could not have intersected, but the housekeeper did not kill the scars.
Instead, it was after Scar Killer was caught that the housekeeper killed him.
It seems that the housekeeper is afraid that the scar will reveal some secrets, so he kills people.
"Chang Feng, where are the few people who were caught at the same time as the scar?" Li Canghai suddenly remembered that when he caught the scar, he was still followed by three people.
"My lord, they are in prison now." Chang Feng is respectful and authentic.
"Go and interrogate them." Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and said deeply.
Before his injuries healed, Chang Feng found a sedan chair and drove Li Canghai straight to Zhengyang County Prison.
Along the way, Li Canghai saw rows of cauldrons set up on both sides of the street, and those fleeing people were living in the city in an orderly manner without any chaos.
Every time there is a disaster, there will be chaos, which is what worries him the most, but the peace in front of him makes him a little puzzled.
Lifting the sedan curtain, Li Canghai asked Chang Feng, who was following the sedan chair.
Chang Feng replied respectfully, "My lord, all of this is your credit!" The little ones didn't expect that more than sixty percent of the people in the county had fled to this place, and it was so orderly that no one even dared to make trouble. When these refugees learned that you had opened a warehouse to release grain, provided relief to them, and took the lead in blocking the Yellow River breach, they all regarded you as a savior bodhisattva. Those ruffians in the past have become honest one by one, and even the king has been cut down by you, so it's too late for them to hide at this time, how dare they come out to make trouble? ”
Li Canghai smiled, he didn't care about what Chang Feng said, he just did what he should bear.
"Your Excellency, you don't know, since the people knew about your feat, the people of the city have respected you, and even the little ones have been stained with a lot. Although the little ones are officials, but when they go out to do things, they will always be criticized by the people, and they have received a lot of white eyes before, but now with the adults, the people are really polite to the little ones! Chang Feng said with emotion.
Li Canghai smiled faintly and said: "Push yourself and others, you are to the people, just as the official is to you." If the ruler treats you as you do to the people, how will you like him? In the same way, if you have the people in your heart, the people will naturally love you. As long as you regard the people as your parents, rather than yourself as the parents of the people, whether you have an official or not, you will be respected by the people. ”
Listening to these words is often windy, the mood is agitated, and I can't calm down for a long time.
He bowed his head and was silent for a long time, constantly pondering these words, and instantly felt like an initiation and repented.
After a while, he suddenly said: "What the adults have taught me is that the little one used to be an errand and did a lot of wrong things. From now on, the little ones will listen to the teachings of the adults and be an official who is the master of the people. ”
The group soon arrived at the prison, often leading the way, and Li Canghai followed closely and walked in.
In the cell, the three severed fingers were lying listlessly in prison clothes, with dry grass in their mouths, staring at the roof of the cell in a daze.
"How many of you, the county magistrate is here, why don't you get up and pay homage quickly?" Chang Feng walked to the cell and shouted angrily.
The three people with severed fingers were startled by his shout, they were scoundrels, they just wanted to scold, and suddenly they saw Li Canghai, the three of them were full of excitement, jumped up and knelt down in front of him.
Li Canghai looks more handsome and elegant, which is far from the word majesty, but when the three of them see him, they will always be afraid from the bottom of their hearts, just like the innate fear when a mouse sees a cat.
The jailer Donggua diligently brought a chair, and Li Canghai lowered his hem and sat up.
The stern gaze swept over the three of them, and the three of them with severed fingers trembled one after another.
"Let me ask you, how long have you known Scar?" Li Canghai asked lightly.
The three of them looked at each other, bowed their heads and said, "Lord Hui, we don't know him well, we only met him when we were in Damiao Village." ”
