Chapter 57 Zi County
The inner hall of the Yamen of Zixian County.
Zhang Gonglian, the county commander of Zixian County, stood respectfully, looking honest and honest, but Peng Ao next to him looked reasonable.
"Lord Li, this is the note of the year and the title deed of the house, and the officials dare not use this to deceive the lord." He raised his voice and said, "Then Lu Wu must have lost the money in the gambling and wanted to blackmail me into paying off the debt!" ”
Li Zhihuai raised his hand to ask him to restrain himself.
"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, don't be impulsive."
He carefully looked at the two thin sheets of paper, which were clear in black and white, and it was difficult to fake.
Peng Ao scolded and scolded on the side again, as if he had fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes before he encountered such a thing.
"Both father and son love to gamble, and his father was like this back then, and he was chased and cut to find me when he lost quickly."
"I had some friendship with Lu Laishan at that time, so I lent him a large sum of silver, and this note was made at that time. Now he is good, he is a hundred dead, and he doesn't have to pay back the money, and he still has a son to fight with me for this dilapidated house. ”
"yes." Zhang Gonglian couldn't help but echo, his expression was full of sympathy, "Xia Guan just knew the cause and effect of this incident so he didn't help Lu Wu, he was too angry!" ”
The last sentence of reproach contained a bit of concern for Lu Wu's future.
Li Zhihuai returned the note to Peng Ao, glanced at him and Zhang Gonglian lightly, and said: "If you are innocent, the government will make a judgment, and there is no need to make irresponsible remarks in front of me." ”
Naturally, he won't listen to one side.
Now Lu Wu is in the Gwangju Mansion, and Qi Xu sent someone to inquire about the situation.
So at this moment, he needs to go to the ancestral house and ask the surrounding people and those who know about this matter.
Zixian is not big, but it is not small, and the people come and go on the streets, and the hawkers sell a dazzling array of ornaments and a wide variety of porcelain.
"Sir, someone is following us." Arin reminded in a low voice, "It's in the alley behind." ”
Li Zhihuai's footsteps did not stop, and continued to move forward.
"Leave them alone." "Tell me if there's a next step," he said. ”
Arin nodded yes.
"That's right, Arin." Li Zhihuai remembered something and said, "You went to meet those assassins last night, did you find anything unusual?" ”
Yesterday he returned to the house, and after thinking about it, he decided to send Alin to go, originally wanting to wait for him to return to the house to inquire about the situation, but he didn't ask because he was afraid of his wife.
Mrs. didn't know about this matter, and thanks to Steward Li, she kept the matter a secret, otherwise according to Mrs. Li's temperament, she would definitely worry about not sleeping well all day long.
Alin replied in a low voice: "Master, three of them have committed suicide in prison......"
"What?"
Li Zhihuai really admired Alin's impatience.
"How can you look at it well, people are still dead?"
"Three dead? Isn't it the last one, so is there anything wrong with him? ”
"Alin, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
A series of questions were thrown, and if it was someone else, they should be caught off guard, but Alin was still as calm as ever.
"Master, they have poison in their mouths, and when they wake up and find that they have been caught, they bite the poison and kill themselves." "Also, the subordinates discovered that they were not the same group as the awake man. ”
It couldn't have been all the companions here, they had committed suicide, and they were dead, and the man didn't react at all, apparently not knowing them.
Arin was adamant in his thoughts.
"What about the other one?" Li Zhihuai twisted his eyebrows and asked, "He, what's wrong?" ”
Alin shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"That's it." Li Zhihuai took his hand behind, and his eyes gradually became fierce, "If he dares to hurt Yun'er, I will not let him go, even if I find the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
"When I return to Gwangju, I'm trying to find a way to interrogate ...... carefully."
"Your Excellency!" A trembling, old voice interjected.
Li Zhihuai raised his eyes and saw an old woman with gray hair walking towards her, she trembled and just wanted to kneel, but was pulled up by a man in the prime of life.
"Mother, what are you doing! Don't beg him, he and the people in the county government are the same dog! ”
Li Zhihuai frowned, and before he could speak, a county official who followed behind him shouted: "Bold!" Seeing Lord Changshi, he didn't retreat quickly! ”
These words were like a knife cutting down, cutting off a large group of people around Li Zhihuai.
They all stood farther away, their expressions were sad and helpless, but more numb, as if they were outsiders.
Li Zhihuai's brows furrowed even deeper.
He raised his hand for the pawn to stand down, and walked over to the old woman.
"This lady, what do you want to tell me?" He asked softly.
"Nope!" The big man next to the old woman didn't seem to trust the government at all, and even Lord Li, who came from afar, was a little vigilant.
"Son." Tears flowed down the old woman's wrinkled face, "You can't ignore Hui'er, she's a good boy......"
This made the big man red-eyed.
"This eldest brother, and the eldest mother, I am Shi Li Zhihuai, the governor of Gwangju." He spread his hands and behaved modestly, "The people's business is my business, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I will find a way to help you solve it." ”
The strong man wanted to say something, but the old woman grabbed her hand with tears in her eyes, and had to shut up.
The old woman knelt down directly and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my family Hui'er...... Gone......"
……
……
The room is fragrant, warm and bustling.
Li Mingyun stood in front of his desk and raised his pen to draw.
The dangerous aura of yesterday is now gone, as if it was a dream, and as soon as you wake up and find yourself out of it, all the joys, sorrows and sorrows are slowly dissipating.
Chunyu held her cheeks on the side, watching her young lady draw the beautiful scenery of Huasuitang calmly and demurely.
In the outer courtyard, Qiu Qing and Dong Xue were chattering, and from the tone of Qiu Qing's speech, you could hear that she was eating happily.
After the catastrophe, I will think of the beauty I once had.
"Alright, Spring Rain." Li Mingyun put the pen down, "Let's go find Xue Yan." ”
There were still some situations that I didn't ask clearly, but because that Zhou Gongzi was present at that time, and then saw his father again, I didn't have time to talk to Xue Yan about it, so it was delayed until now.
"Yes, miss." Chunyu bent his eyebrows, "Xue Escort teaches the Seventh Young Master to practice martial arts in the martial arts field." ”
Afraid that Li Mingyun would misunderstand, he hurriedly added, "I didn't inquire, it was the people in the courtyard who said it." ”
Li Mingyun laughed: "I didn't think about it that much. ”
Chunyu lowered her head and stopped talking.
I really want to cover it up.
When they came to the martial arts training field, Li Mingwei could be heard noisily waving a wooden stick.
"Xue Guard!" Chunyu shouted on the stage, "Miss has something to look for you, come down quickly!" ”
Xue Yan jumped down and walked straight to Li Mingyun to give a salute.
"Sister, what are you looking for Xue Guard?" Li Mingwei also stopped, ready to pass.
Yesterday's incident, Steward Li had already instructed the doorman not to leak the news, so the people in the house did not know.
"I'll have a few words with him." Li Mingyun said with a smile, "Mingwei, you practice your first, you don't have to come over." ”
Li Mingwei said "oh", and he didn't insist anymore.
Li Mingyun walked to a nearby rest pavilion, followed by Chunyu and Xue Yan.
"Xue Yan, what else is missing from yesterday's events besides what I saw?" She asked, her expression a little solemn.
Those killers were really inexplicable, and she still couldn't figure out what she had done to cause this kind of killing.
Who hired them to kill people?
There are only a few people in Gwangju who have had a holiday with her, but will those people really do this?
We still have to find evidence.
My father went to Zixian County today for something, and he will be interrogated when he comes back, but he can't pretend that nothing has happened in the house.
Also, what exactly does the awake killer want to do? Inexplicably, it feels like he has a conspiracy.
Xue Yan thought for a while and said, "Miss, among those killers yesterday, there were actually two groups, one group was chasing and killing us, and the other group was ...... Those two people brought it in. ”
"And the killers who are chasing and killing us, not only the few on the ground, plus the ones who fought with me all the way, there are probably more than a dozen."
