Chapter 59: Pursuit
"Okay, then I'll listen, what nonsense can you talk about?"
"This Shen family back then, in this Gucheng, that can be said to mean that no one dares to say the first in the second child, that is, the Liu family in your mouth, that is also to be ranked behind the Shen family, so what you said about the Liu family and the Shen family competing for the fabric shop back then is simply nonsense, because with the strength of the Shen family back then, the Liu family is not worthy of fighting with him at all."
"Then since it's not the Liu family, who has such a big enmity with the Shen family and wants to put their whole family to death?"
Some onlookers heard the middle-aged man say that it was not the Liu family, so he opened his mouth and asked who it was.
"I said it, don't be scared to death, that person is the current county lord!"
"Huh?!"
"Impossible!"
"This man must be talking nonsense!"
"Get him out!"
Hearing the middle-aged man say that the murderer of the Shen family's murder case turned out to be the current county lord, everyone's first reaction was to not believe it at all, and for a while everyone accused him of talking nonsense and wanted to drive him out.
But the strange thing is that after the storyteller heard the middle-aged man say this, his face suddenly became very ugly, he was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Hmph! I also said what secrets can you tell, it turns out that you are just talking about it here, and you dare to slander the current county lord, I think you just don't know what to do, leave quickly, otherwise I will report to the official to arrest you! ”
Seeing that everyone looked disbelieving, the middle-aged man was not annoyed, as if he had expected such a situation for a long time, but he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "A group of ignorant people! If you don't believe the truth, listen to this famous and reputation-fishing person talking nonsense! ”
As soon as he had finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned and walked towards the door.
And Yang Liang, who was listening to the whole process, saw that this person had left, and they also walked out after him.
In fact, Yuan Heng saw that the storyteller's expression was not quite right just now, and he originally wanted to stay here and find a chance to test him, but after thinking about it, this storyteller has a stall in the teahouse, and it is not easy for him to find him, but this middle-aged man looks like he is not easy to find, so it is better to follow him first, and then say.
So a few people followed the man, keeping a distance of not long or short, but the man looked like a down-and-out scholar, but his eyes were not small, as if he noticed that someone was following him, and he frequently looked back to observe.
Fortunately, Yuan Heng was experienced, and every time the man looked back, he could stop accurately and pretend to pick something, but Chen Lu and Yang Liang didn't attract his attention because they were children, so they followed him all the way until he stopped in front of a house that looked very shabby. After the man entered the house, Yuan Heng took Yang Liang and Chen Lu to observe for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the yard, so he asked Yang Liang and Chen Lu to wait beside him, and he himself found a tree next to him, and then jumped up with a slight jump, checked the situation in the yard, and found no trace of others, so he jumped down again, waved his hand to Yang Liang and Chen Lu, and motioned for them to follow.
So the three of them stood in front of the door, Yuan Heng knocked on the door, and soon there was a voice of people talking inside, with vigilance in the voice, and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"May I ask if this is Wang Shishi's home?"
"No, you're looking for the wrong person."
"Impossible, this is Wang Shishi's home, don't try to fool me."
"What nonsense are you talking about! If you say no, leave quickly, or I'll report to the police! ”
"Humph! Report to the official, do you think I will be afraid of you reporting to the official! I'm telling you, if you don't pay off your gambling debts today, you won't want to get out of this door in the future! ”
"I asked if you were sick! Having said that I am not a king stone! ”
As soon as the words fell, the door was forcefully opened, and the middle-aged man looked at Yuan Heng with an angry face.
Seeing Yuan Heng, Yang Liang and Chen Lu, the middle-aged man's expression immediately changed, he should have reacted that he had been deceived, and just wanted to close the door forcefully, but before he could make a move to close the door, Yuan Heng had already taken a step ahead of him and pushed him into the door, Yang Liang and Chen Lu also followed with a lot of eyes, and Chen Lu closed the door even more with eyes.
The middle-aged man who didn't have time to stop them from coming in saw that although they looked menacing, they were just a man and two children after all, so he didn't feel anything to be afraid of, and made an angry look, and said: "I warn you, get out of my house now, or I will immediately report to the official to accuse you of trespassing on the house and arrest you all!" ”
Half of what he said was to scare Yang Liang into them, and on the other hand, he was coming to be true.
Due to the relatively conservative folk customs in Gucheng, the people pay attention to abide by etiquette, so for the crime of trespassing on private houses, the punishment is still very heavy, and the strict punishment measures have given birth to a good public security environment in Gucheng.
But Yuan Heng didn't eat him, they saw Yuan Heng directly pull out the long sword on his waist, shook it twice in front of the middle-aged man, and then threatened: "This brother, you don't have to panic, we just want to ask you something, and after asking and getting the answer we want, we will naturally leave, and we won't embarrass you." ”
Yuan Heng said as he lifted the long sword, and finally leaned against the middle-aged man's neck, looking murderous.
The man was not stunned without eyes, seeing that his life was threatened at the moment, he suddenly lost the hard look just now, and instantly softened, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
"Good man, I'm ...... I said, I'll tell you whatever you want to know! Please don't take the life of the villain! ”
Seeing that the man in the middle suddenly knelt down, Chen Lu and Yang Liang were a little shocked, looking at his previous performance, he didn't look like this kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he scare him with a sword, he was afraid of becoming like this.
Yuan Heng didn't expect that the person who was so tough just now suddenly knelt down in front of him, and his hand holding the sword trembled.
He cleared his throat, then put the sword back into its scabbard, and asked the middle-aged man to get up and speak.
So a few people entered the room, the decoration here looked very simple, only a simple bed, table and chairs, the man smiled flatteringly, and then pulled out the chair and motioned for Yuan Heng to sit down.
"Good man, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask the villain, and the villain promises to know everything and say everything."
Seeing his flattering appearance, Yang Liang felt a little speechless in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just stood aside with Chen Lu, thinking about what this person had to say.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you, and ask directly, what you just said in the teahouse is that the Shen family's tragedy was committed by the county lord, is there any evidence?"
