Zhao Li lowered his head in shame and said, "Lord Song, I understand what you mean." Let's get down to business, is there a new case involving me, Lord Song? As long as Lord Song asks, I will definitely explain the truth. ”

Song Ruilong was a little relieved and said, "Yes, there is a case involving you." Can you tell us more about Guo Yongcai? ”

Zhao Li said: "Guo Yongcai is indeed a person with a great sense of justice, and he is indeed doing things for the people, if he is not such an official, he will not die, and he will sit very comfortably in the county government of Ping'an County."

Song Ruilong said: "As a county order, if you can't make decisions for the people, and let the people be slaughtered at will, it's okay if you don't do such a county order."

Zhao Li said slowly: "Yes, Guo Yongcai is a person who would rather die for the people than be his county commander comfortably."

After Su Xianrong finished writing down these confessions, he looked at Zhao Li and said, "Zhao Li, you still tell me why you and Guo Yongcai have a grudge, right?"

Zhao Li thought about it and said: "I can't talk about any grudges with Guo Xianling, but our relationship is destined to make it impossible for the two of us to coexist peacefully." He is an official, and I am a thief. If he wants to be in the same league with us, then of course he will live very freely, but since the first day he took office, he wants to get rid of us and wipe out our Cuihua Mountain, of course we will not agree, so we choose to fight him to the end. ”

Su Xianrong felt that Zhao Li's topic was far away, she wanted to lead Zhao Li's answer to Liujiatun's case three years ago, and said: "Zhao Li, think about it again, it can be said that there has been more than a year of fighting between you and Guo Yongcai, and in the meantime, you have not killed Guo Yongcai, so what is it that makes you make up your mind to get rid of Guo Yongcai?"

Zhao Li took a long breath and said, "That incident should be Liujiatun's case three years ago, right?"

Song Ruilong was a little excited, and said, "What about that case?"

Zhao Li said: "Three years ago, I heard that there was a bronze sword hidden in the house of a common person in Liujiatun, south of Ping'an County, and it was said that the sword was used by Xiang Yu. There is also a 'feather' character engraved on it. At that time, our brothers in Cuihua Mountain were forced by Guo Yongcai to go crazy. We had nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and not even money to be in our accounts for months. We couldn't afford to sit on our laurels, so the brothers decided to snatch the bronze sword. ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "That Liu Tiepan and his wife are honest countrymen, they don't know martial arts at all, you just use his house, show the knife in your hand, don't say that they tell you the whereabouts of the bronze sword, what you want to get, they will say, but why do you want to kill them and his wife?"

Zhao Li shook his head in some surprise and said, "We didn't kill them and his wife, they were very cooperative at that time, and the bronze sword was also found from the pigsty by Liu Tiepan himself." After we got the sword, we flashed, and as for how Liu Tieban and his wife died, we don't know. However, I can tell you, Lord Song, if we want to kill Liu Tiepan's family, we will definitely not let Liu Tiepan's family have anyone alive. ”

"Why?" Su Xianrong asked with some surprise.

Zhao Li said with hatred: "Because I am the grass that has not been rooted, if the robbers of Cuihua Mountain had killed me after my sister died, I would not have grown up to seek revenge on those robbers." Therefore, I know best the truth that we need to cut down the grass and eradicate it. ”

Zhao Li's tone was a little weaker, and he said, "It's just that we really didn't need to kill Liu Tieban that time. We have already obtained the bronze sword, the treasure has already arrived, there is no point in killing again, not to mention, the brothers committed the crime with their faces masked that day, and they were not afraid of Liu Tieban recognizing us at all. ”

Su Xianrong glanced at Song Ruilong, and as soon as the eyes of the two met, they both felt that Zhao Li was not lying.

Song Ruilong looked at Zhao Li again, and said, "Zhao Li, this county now believes that you didn't kill Liu Tiepan and his wife, but this county is curious, how did you know that Liu Tiepan's family had a bronze sword?"

Zhao Li said: "Speaking of this, I have to say one more person, because the news of the bronze sword is what he told me."

Song Ruilong was a little excited: "What is the name of the person who told you the news of that bronze sword?"

Zhao Li said: "He is a friend of mine, surnamed Hu Dan and a Wei character, and he is the housekeeper of Zhao Yuan's foreign mansion." It was he who told me that the Liu Tiepan family in Liujiatun in the south of the city had a bronze sword, which was worth a thousand gold. ”

When Song Ruilong heard the name "Hu Wei", he immediately thought of the word "Hu" on the fifty taels of silver, and he was overjoyed, and said, "Hu Wei told you that Liu Tiepan's family has an ancient sword, why did he tell you this?"

Zhao Li said: "Hu Wei can be said to be an eyeliner in Ping'an County, usually he will tell us the situation of the rich businessmen in Ping'an County, and will tell us which family has more money and which family has less money, and sometimes will tell us where the money is." He will also tell us some information about when and where the merchants outside Ping'an County will pass by, and these information are very accurate, as long as we go out, we will definitely return victorious. After that, we only have to pay Hu Wei a small amount. If there is an exception, it is the one that robbed Liujiatun. ”

Su Xianrong asked very gently, "What's different about that time?"

Zhao Li said: "That time was very strange. The bronze sword we snatched turned out to be a fake. The bronze sword was crafted and buried in the earth for less than two months. Later, for this matter, I also deliberately looked for Hu Wei, Hu Wei also said at the time that he was very wronged, he didn't know whether the sword was real or fake, and complained that we made things bigger, and we shouldn't have killed Liu Tieban and his wife. ”

Zhao Li sighed: "Hey! When Hu Wei said that, we had no choice but to give up. But later, Guo Yongcai didn't know what evidence he found, he didn't say that it was our robbers from Cuihua Mountain who killed Liu Tieban and his wife, and brought more than a dozen servants to wipe out our Cuihua Mountain. On that occasion, he killed five of our brothers, and I was not convinced, so I escaped from Cuihua Mountain with the remaining brothers, and a year later, I sneaked back to Ping'an County and killed Guo Yongcai in the night. This was about a year ago, and Lord Song was afraid that he would have known about it a long time ago. ”
